Aspire

Of all the Collective, Aspire is the oldest in recorded knowledge. His name was once Motokanu, a name meaning "Great Guide" in an old, mostly forgotten language used by equally old shamanistic tribes. Though when the Collective was created Motokanu's name became Aspire, a word that symbolized human nature. From the earliest records aspire has been thought of as the core deity of Humanity. Simply known as the God of Humans, or Humanity, Aspire is depicted as a young man painted in vicious scars yet almost always clothed in simple worn and shredded garments. It is common to find murals in the churches showing this appearance with a calamity in the background, while a golden, calming, light radiates from his body. Although not as common, there are other depictions of Aspire as a woman, a child, or a soldier in broken armor, as most who worship the God agree that Aspire does not have a true form, and instead embodies all of the human spirit.

Old prophecies tell that Aspire will inhabit the world as a Human, only when great destruction threatens humanity.
