Godmother (Shiiva)-LSL

I’ve been working on a character based on the many interpretations ive seen over the years with the name Shiva, which stuck with me when I first heard it. Originally confused with the character known as Spiral from the Marvel universe, I became enthused to develop my own vision on the six-armed murderer.

So in my head has been a humanized vision of the Hindu deity Shiva. She can have or not have six arms (this iteration is only two). I wanted the character be soulless, and purely about her function…an agent of leadership, might, supreme power, and terror. The circumstances of her presence are usually destructive.

In the LSL universe that I am creating around her, men are rarely seen, and these bio-cybernetic constructs are created as grand deities who lead the efforts to solve the puzzle of infertility plagued women. As a Sorter, beings such as Shiiva decide the ultimate fate of lives and direction of the populace- that is her task, her purpose. While the ‘organic’ human world dies around them, most women in this world have subjected themselves to all sorts of bionic and mechanical implants to sustain their lives, while dreaming of this concept that once drove the heart of the world- Love. Shiiva is the 9th version and most ‘perfect’ attempt yet at creating a godmother to usher in, and lead the next age of bio-cybernetic life.

The circular objects that extend from her back are advanced clocks that process space and time, as she is a slave to neither- she can be wherever she wants at anytime. She stands roughly 24 feet tall, and an extended wingspan of about 75 feet.
