More from Auzurah
Aurora, not an angel, yet much more than just an echidna- she's existed since the dawn of time, awarded the special honor of being an agent of Heaven for being among the most loyal of creatures during a time when Mobius faced an era of terrible corruption and mayhem. When she fulfilled her purpose on Mobius as a mortal, she passed on into Heaven and became an immortal. It is a gift that is very rarely given to anyone. It's not what Aurora DID, but how strong her heart and soul was when even those known to be the strongest in spirit were falling into corruption... determined to stand through every spiritual storm and not give into the force that was <i>seemingly</i> more powerful and indestructible...while also encouraging people to be just as strong. So she still walks amid the living- while on Mobius she is bound to some laws of living (physical pain for one), but yet also free from them in many ways. Unlike other forces of Heaven, it's no unlawful for her to fall in love with a creature of Mobius.
In Archie she's supposed to be some sort of goddess, but she's won't be one in my story. Well ya know how it is =S Even in pretense it wouldn't feel at all right to me to have it be that way. All due respect to those that do, in turn give respect for my decision to not.
I'm still working on the story so it's a little rough yet. It's been a difficult area to work on because I know that it's impossible irl for something like that to happen to anyone. It's fiction; it's fantasy... I think I should just enjoy the use of my imagination as long as it doesn't go too far. I mean, God is still God, and God still ownz all- as long as I acknowledge that it's all cool. Pardon the dip in the philosophical pool but hey....everyone else does it, why should I be any different? =P
I don't know why she's so sad. I started this without the intent of giving her that face... it just happened *shrug* I figure she sees the way the world is being torn by hatred, war, and the friendships/families being destroyed by them- knowing that the cycle will go on until the end of time.

Well the one thing about fiction in general (by the way this supplements my comment on DA) is that ANYTHING is possible. You can always look back at a piece of fiction at the end of the day and just say it's not real. Therefore under this context, it's okay to have another god/goddess (or plural forms thereof) in a fiction story and safely just say it never happened. It's a different world/universe which means it isn't always subject to a particular religious view. This in turn, allows an author to broaden that aspect of culture within a story to things not normally possible.
In Final Fantasy X, for example, there are strong themes of spirituality and religion, even though the religion contained within was fictional. The story was designed in such a way to accept this kind of fictional religion; it would operate on totally different circumstances if it were changed to an existing organized religion.
Your case with Aurora isn't so bad because she hasn't really played a vital role in the comics except in a few key instances. Therefore you're given more freedom to 'demote' her status so to speak.
In short, it's okay to go about your life as it has been while making a fictional god or goddess for a story. Tolkein is best known for something like this; he was a devout Roman Catholic but was still able to create his famous stories in fiction worlds with ficitional gods or goddesses with no qualms in his life about it.

All well said, but on the contrary...
I may have the freedom to do anything to any story that is fictional, but not without the intervention of the conscience that urges some restraint. In this case, the love and affection for He who is most precious and dear above all things is so great that I'm willing to sacrifice plot that involves acknowledging a "god" that is not the God I honor and serve; despite it being "only fiction" and having great potential. It's like if I work real hard on my art and one of my best friends says "I'll pretend that someone else is the artist". It has that sort of feel to it. All power to those that have written fiction involving "gods/goddesses" (I actually enjoy a lot of movies with them), but for me as a writer honor and respect comes before creativity.
Thank you, though
