THE eldest
GODDESS OF EARTH
ZEME: RAYMUND BERMUDEZ - THE PHILLIPENES
"We shall tolerate them until no further"
The Matriarch and the Foundation, Zeme is the sprit which controls all physical matter within earth's atmosphere.
She represents balance and solidarity. Her physical manifestation portrays this balance with mankind’s ignorant intelligence, the delusion that there is any mode of controlling the natural order.
Never completely solid, she is in constant in motion. Zeme's stoic mind is perpetually tortured by a physical state of internal conflict; in natures struggle against technology, the mechanical bisection, though limited, dependent mimics of their natural forms, never subside. *Her mask is broken vertically, representing this conflictive duality.
Zeme's right arm is augmented into the genesis cannon, capable of wide creation, or vast destruction.
A blooming flower is usually depicted vining around her left arm and hand, representing her preference for growth.
Maxims:
"There is nothing below the azure that I cannot reach, see, or feel."
“They will deny and abuse our gifts, then deny and lose their senses”
"We shall tolerate them until no more".
Transcriptions:
- "upon learning (from the antagonist), they would gouge ferrous ore from her innards to cast their will upon their own"

"tHERE'S nothing below the azure I canNOT reach, see, feel."
As the Goddess of the earth, Zeme certainly has a deep connection to the natural world and the cycles of life and death. It is this connection that gives her a unique understanding of mortality and the impermanence of all things.
