Personality[]
Varuna is a very animated personality, in fact he is always smiling and is always in a good mood.

He becomes fond of Shiva after the latter becomes the leader of the Hindu Gods. If needed, Varuna also supports other Hindu Gods, such as Indra during the Apocalypse Tournament.
Biography[]
Varuna is the Hindu God of Water who, when the Hindu Pantheon was divided into clans, lived with Agni. One day Shiva and Rudra decide to try to climb to the summit of Svarga to make Rudra King of the Hindu Gods, and after defeating several Hindu Gods they end up facing Varuna and Agni. While Agni is defeated by Rudra, Varuna faces Shiva and is ultimately defeated by his opponent. In the end, Shiva defeats Rudra, who abandons the Svarga immediately after, and becomes the King of the Hindu Gods before all the other Hindu Gods including Varuna.
Millennia later, following the proclamation of the Ragnarok Tournament, Varuna and the other Hindu Gods attend from the stands at the matches of the Apocalypse Tournament, a competition between 16 Gods, in which Indra also participates, where the winner would take the last place in the Gods Fighters, the representatives of the Gods during the Ragnarok Tournament, and could have created a new law for the Constitution of Valhalla.
Some time later, during the Ragnarok Tournament, Varuna and the other Hindu Gods find Rudra in the stands of the arena during the Fifth Round and, together with him, witness the fight of their leader Shiva against Raiden Tameemon, seeing Shiva emerge victorious after having unleashed the Tandava Karma. At the end of the Fifth Round, Varuna and the other Hindu Gods reach Shiva in a state of disrepair in the corridors and, here, they see Shiva admit to Zeus that he now considers Humans fantastic.
While Shiva is hospitalized in the infirmary to repair the three arms cut during the Fifth Round and follows the other matches of the Ragnarok Tournament, Varuna and the other Hindu Gods go to visit him to make sure he is well.
Powers and Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: Varuna is one of the strongest Hindu Gods of all, although he is inferior to Shiva, Rudra and Indra. As a God, Varuna possesses physical abilities far greater than those of any ordinary Human. His body cannot be damaged by mortal weapons, however it can still be damaged by unarmed attacks by individuals with superhuman strength and by Divine Weapons. Furthermore, Varuna cannot die due to old age.
Hydrokinesis: Being the God of Water, it is highly possible that Varuna has some degree of control over it.
