* Gods (in this particular universe) travel realms that mortals cannot, and are exposed to such things as shifts in the fabric of time and space, paradoxes, and the meshes between alternate realities. It is because of this that many of the gods lose a fragment of themselves in the chaos of it all. Sama'anya, however, was born out of chaos and fire, making him immune; ergo, he is "complete" and does not exhibit the distant, almost lackadaisical behaviour of the other deities.

Mortals, naturally, do not know this and believe the other gods' behaviour to be perfectly normal. Thus, Sama'anya is seen as the "rebellious" member of the pantheon -a black sheep, if you will- with all the negative connotations that come with such a title.
