I'm curious, how many people here are gods or goddesses? Or other lesser deities? I know of one or two other than myself, but we can't be all there are here. I could divine it to find out for myself, but that would be rather rude of me.

Does being kind-of sort-of part angel count?

[purple_reign]

Possibly. What do you mean by kind of sort of?

[autorejoin]

Well! I was a normal human, and then I died a couple of times, and then I ate a feather which made me part angel I guess? It's complicated.

[purple_reign]

You resurrected?!

[autorejoin]

Uh. Not really, I'm just bad at dying.

[purple_reign]

So you didn't die?

[autorejoin]

Oh no, I definitely died. I went to Hades and I was a spirit, and then I died as a spirit and was brought back as a spirit. And then I got a body made of plants. It was weird.

[purple_reign]

That sounds like a resurrection story to me.

[autorejoin]

I mean, if you want to call it that? I just never really thought about it like that.

[purple_reign]

It's your story, so you can think of it however you like.

What do you look like if your body is made of plants? Vines for hair maybe?

[autorejoin]

It's actually a really well-made construct. As long as I think of how I used to look, that's exactly how I look. You'd never know to look at me that it's not my real body.

[purple_reign]

What happens if you stop thinking of that?

That sounds a little egotistical.

[autorejoin]

Ever wondered what a guy looks like with no face? It's something like that. A featureless doll...

[purple_reign]

Does it? It wasn't my intent.

[purple_reign]

Oh. That must be difficult for you.

[autorejoin]

It kinda sucks, but you get used to it. So what about you! Are you a god or something?

[purple_reign]

Goddess. Inanna, specifically.

[autorejoin]

Goddess! My mistake. Uh so, which mythology are you from?

[purple_reign]

Ancient Mesopotamian. And yourself? Your story doesn't ring any bells for me, but Hades is Greek, isn't it?

[autorejoin]

Hades is Greek but most of my shit's Christianity-based. God, Lucifer, all that stuff.

[purple_reign]

Really?? So you're completely new. Not any kind of recurrence.

[autorejoin]

Nah. Knew a guy who was a reincarnation, though! Like some bigshot angel chick got cursed to reincarnate into shitty lives for eternity as a punishment or something.

You should ask how many of them are deluded assholes.

[bosewicht]

I figured.
It's just that by definition, gods are an accumulation of faith and worship. Or I guess it could describe a kind of cosmic apex predator, deified through power and awe. Is that really still the case?
