Divinity is a member of the Popre community since 2005/2006's who also played on Populous Ressurection match maker. He has three brothers who also used to play Populous ( Snak and Skylo ) and, even if he is not the most active gamer nowadays, he's been active on the match maker and forums. Divinity started playing Populous 3 offline with his older brothers, when Snak eventually found the match maker (in 2004) but, due to some problems, Snak could not play online games and eventually gave up. Only a year later he came back to Populous online and eventually got Populous online to work, and started playing. All of the three brothers used to play on the Snak account but later each one made his own account - Snak, Kans and Nask (Divinity). Divinity got to shaman rank in the traditional leagues and joined a couple clans on his journey, being some of them TGW ( The Great Wall ), xXx ( Extreme X Xiphias , owned by his brother Skylo ) and later on GoD ( The Gods of Destruction ). Near February/March 2009 he asked Kiyana for a fresh start, and she allowed it, deleting his original account. He started a new one with the nickname Joker but people eventually could find out his true identity. Once again, he could reach the shaman rank in leagues and decided to join the clan DT ( Dragon Team ). DT eventually died and he was clanless until he joined AVA ( Avenging Angels ), but that would be a short stay. Being good friends with the player Nici , they both decided to found a clan called PIG ( Pig ) but after a few months it died. At this time, Divinity was already in a Populous innactivity period, which would last from the starts of 2011 to the half of 2013 (2,5 years). After he came back in the middle of 2013, he would never play Populous so actively as he used to, but he would still play sometimes, mainly with his friend Nici . Even though he's not been an active player since he came back, he is very active in the Match maker and on Popre forums. After the clan PiG died the first time, he was clanless for some time, but eventually returned to GoD clan, where he remains until today. Divinity's best map was probably Face off and A Narrow Passage, and his favourite maps are also those two with the addition of Pressure Point. Both his sidekick and nemesis is Nici and his best ranking of all time was #1 on leagues. He currently bounces between shaman and firewarrior ranks, due to his high sigma (low activity).

Divinity also started a youtube page with Populous 3 contents, mainly going throught the campaigns ( Populou3 Tutorials . Find the popre thread at Popre Pop3 Tutorials ). Divinity is probably the player with more past nicknames, if his recent nicknames are added to his old deleted account, which had many more nicks. Divinity also created two campaigns, with some help from Kosjak and SonOfGod . The first one is called Populous: Countdown Challenge, a campaign where you have to hurry and finish the enemy tribes before the timer reaches the end (you usually don't get attacked, unless you go too close). The second campaign is called Populous: Mini Games, and is the smallest Populous campaign avaliable - you can actually beat all the 25 levels in less than 45 minutes, if you never lose. All the levels have a timer, but most of them are really easy and small (average of 3 minutes per level!). An ultimate Populous campaign is yet to be released, and it's called Populous: Challenge Yourself, which is intended to be the hardest one ever made, only for very experienced players. That campaign has ultra hard levels that exploit the bugs, glitches, tricks and skills of Populous - So you will not win some levels, if you don't know a certain bug/trick/etc. Divinity also made three online mappacks, SHA(MANia) Worlds where the players fight against eachother in blast or light arenas (2v2 or ffa), Arena Worlds , with the same concept, but consisting of arena fights, 1v1 or 2v2, with mixes of blasts lights and ghost army, depending on the map, and Shamania Worlds 2: Christmas Battles, with a modified constant (shaman moves faster, has more hp, some spells are modified, etc), where the players can have fun in blast fights, light wars, or terrain modifier battles. Divinity is also the guy who created the "Island Levels", levels created firstly for him and Nici, when they were bored or wanted to have fun (they would use it in test levels). The "Island Levels" consist in 2, 3 or 4 players working together, using blast only to help the other shamans reaching the next island - the objective of the level is to have the shamans reaching the last island. When a shaman dies, it can teleport to the island she was, before dying (that's the only way teleport should be used on this levels). There are very easy island levels, and some real hard ones as well. Later on, Blazingjijo and SonOfGod joined Divinity and Nici in this island levels, all having fun together (but most of the island levels were created by Divinity). The other three also created some island levels, and they decided to create a mappack for popre consisting in only "Island Levels" (16 in total). That mappack is called Challenge Worlds.

Other than that, Divinity is also the creator of the facebook page Populous3 Entertainment, manager of the Populous files site PopulousResources,created by Kosjak, and member of the Populous Improvement Council, being a Beta Tester and giving ideas/help. Divinity also played in some tourneys when he came back from his 2.5 years innactive period, and even rusty and barely playing, he still got some prizes: 5th in 2013 God of Face Off ; 3rd/4th in 2014 Electric Night (lights) ; 2nd in 2015 Two on Two Summer Cup (under the nickname of Skylo). He hosted the God of Craters 2016 Tournament ( God of Craters 2016 thread), and the Demi-Gods Tournament 2016 ( Demi-Gods Tournament 2016 thread).
