Impox, the perfectionist, god of posturing.
Bio: Impox, the god of posturing, is a perfectionist and a poser who is motivated by the need for recognition, attention, and obtaining subordination from others so that he can avoid the pain of rejection. Impox is constantly trying to gain social approval, by impressing or misleading others into believing that he is much more than what he actually is. Obsessed with perfection, Impox will fake his identity to match others’ expectations if it means he will fit in. When necessary, he’ll become a muscular man at a gym, a well suited millionaire at a gala, a sexy lady with an affinity for mini skirts on a dating app or a brilliant climate change scientist on the comment section of social media posts. Whatever the disguise, he has the charm and charisma to entice others into seeing him as one of their own. Little do they know, deep inside, Impox has a suspiciously fishy identity.
