Chloe has recently discovered that Máni has been protecting her for a lot of her life and would like to show her gratitude.
The sources I have so far:
Poetic Edda: Völuspá, Alvíssmál, Grímnismál, Vafþrúðnismál
Prose Edda: Gylfaginning, Skáldskaparmál
Any other sources or related bits is helpful. Trying to deep dive as much as I can.
Any recommendations on researching Dagr, Nött, Skinfaxi, and Hrímfaxi is helpful too.
Thank you!
For most of my time as a Heathen, I have primarily worshiped Þórr, Freyr, and recently Freyja, but two deities have always been lingering in my mind: Sól and Máni. I always see the usual stuff, talking about what they're the deities of. But, never of what people ask of them and worship them for, or some of the tenets and teachings of theirs. To those who have had experiences with them, what's it like?
Gentle Máni
Help me rest peacefully tonight
Guide me safely in sleep until Sunna's light
Protect me from the the nightmares
Which seek to do me harm
Hold me in your comforting embrace
A-001 was the first one to be described and cataloged it was something that one of the founders and three other people know of. The anomaly was described as “A being that exists on the Psi plain. It appears 2.5 meters tall, black fur, appears to be a hybrid between a Fenrir and a Guardian, subject has a slender frame, it feeds on the pain of it’s hosts and of others. It’s hosts appear to be OS-1 (Doctor Sköll Calley) and Doctor Joel Calley. Two other individuals are able to see it, General Detective Artimus “Artie” Crowley and A-003-1 “Azlie”.”
Over the time of a year the founders renovated a old government building with a Blast Shelter underneath into Site-001. Within a week of renovations being complete the first containment contract form the royal government was received. The swiftness of the contract was impart by the connections to the royal family that OS-002 (Set Ma’al/Calley) has and the connection between OS-001 and GenDtv. Crowley. A-002 is “A beast with numerous eyes on the upper mandible, red fur, extremely sharp claws, and semi-quadruped/biped. A-002 is highly intelligent and speech capable. It has shown to be docile based on situation. It has also claimed to be the father to OS-001 and Dr. Joel Calley, this has been collaborated by historical events where OS-1 or Dr. Calley have been wounded.” The capture of A-002 has solidified the foundation in the Kingdom’s politics.
Current anomalies of note are as fallows: A-001, 002, 003, 004, 006, 010, 025, and 079.

LORE:
After being banished to the sky Máni came to terms with his task of carrying the moon across the sky. Unlike his sister, Sol, who challenged the dreadful beasts forever chasing after their chariots. He resigned to this task for he knew of his sister's mischievous attitude, and thus Máni never looked back at the vicious, blood-craving beast chasing him, only did he look ahead watching the over Sol for if the beast were to catch up he would not hesitate to act in fear of the events that may follow.
After learning of his sister's plan to send her essence down to the earth and fight amoungs the gods. He knew actions must be met, tho he left most of himself to watch over her in the sky he too managed to bring a personification of himself down into the fray.
Where she goes her brother follows, that was the promise that he made with his father, a promise to keep watch over his sister. Many may not know this but it is not the others Máni fears, but his own sister. She is chaos, she is Destruction, and he is the chains that keeps her from destroying all in her path.
I wrote the lore myself based on Sol's lore, but it seemed somewhat fitting (Since his wiki had nothing more to add)

With Sol in the game, Mani would make an interesting addition to the game, so I thought up a kit for him.
Pantheon: Norse
Class: Mage
Type: Ranged, magical
Pros: High Area Damage
Passive: When Mani passes under his Moonlight, he gains a buff which increases his magical power and movement speed. When an enemy passes under it, the moon shines upon him, debuffing him and making him take 15% increased damage from Mani. Can only affect one god at a time
Ability 1: Mani creates Moonlight at his location. The Moonlight follows Mani for a period of time, increasing the passive progressively, maxing at 25% towards the end of the ability. Very low mana cost. This is used to set up his combos.
Ability 2: Mani throws forwards 3 Crescent moon shaped projectiles, dealing damage to any enemies it encounters. Leaves an area of Moonlight at the location of every god hit. Think of Isis' Wind Gust, only faster and with 3 wider projectiles.
Ability 3: Mani calls upon the Moon to send a beam of light, rooting and damaging enemies in a radius, similar to Khepri's 3 but slightly larger radius. This creates Moonlight in the AoE.
Ultimate: Using the Moon's gravitational pull, Mani ascends into the sky for a moment. When he is in the air, he can select a huge AoE, where a devastating blow will be landed and pushing enemies directly away from the center. This creates Moonlight in the whole AoE.
So, you guys tell me what you think! Didn't want to put in the numbers as I'm not sure what would be too strong or not. Discuss!
