Appearance
[under construction]

Personality
Ilya is very calm and wise, and speaks almost exclusively in proverbs. He dislikes war and strife, and is most at peace in nature surrounded by animals. His whole demeanor changed however when he's around Finny (Finnian), his creation. He turns into a doting and overbearing father, becoming very emotional when Finny in turn ignores him.

Messenger
His messenger is Nana, a little sparrow.

Creations
When Ilya was the headgod he created Finnian (better known as Finny), who is a fox-like creature. He is extremely doting, annoying Finny to no end. Finny refuses to call him "dad" or "father" no matter how hard Ilya tries to make him do so. Ilya is trying to be a great father and is desperate for his "son's" attention which makes Finny ignore him even more.

Name meaning
Ilya is derived from the name Ila, who is an androgynous deity in Hindu mythology.

Design
Ilya was first known as Kitsune, after a fox spirit from Japanese folklore. He had fox ears and quite a frowny face. His face now looks more wise and solemn. His outfit is based on Chinese traditional clothing. He has deer horns and his ears have changed significantly.
