Pyro, God of Fire -- The Lord of Destruction - Bringer of Progress and Light, Annihilator of the Weak

Stratos, God of Air -- The supreme Schemer - Master of the High Peaks and the Firmament, Deceiver of the "not-so-smart"

James, God of Earth -- The Paragon of Virtue - Defender of Innocence, Epitome of Simplicity and brute Strength

You are a newcomer to this wondrous realm, a wanderer seeking refuge.
The inevitable consumption of your own world was reason enough for you to leave across the Astral Void hoping for a better tomorrow ! The deities crave your services, for they sense the potential and capability, which cower within you, only awaiting to be unleashed ! As their most valuable agent they will seek to use you as a pawn to diminish all godly competition and save monopoly of power for the glory of one god ! You are to choose between the deities; Will you be able to withstand your very own power-thirst and manage to breach the web of lies, which has been spun by divine essence ?!

Each god seems to overwhelm you with infinite potential and powers, yet the stronger your skills grow the more you realize that you cannot escape your fate ! The scheming forces have driven you beyond the point of self-doubt and mental breakdown, it is like a waking nightmare, for the trouble you attempted to flee from back in your own world seems to follow you everywhere you go.
The time for you has come to confront yourself with your very own fears and bring all this to an end, the mess for which you feel responsible !
Sacrifice your own soul ere the dark forces fulfill their holy purpose, and make the world fade like a withering flower !
