I'm not entirely sure if this is the right section, if it isn't please correct me.

So, i've been reading The Conan The Barbarian series,and i find the various gods presented to be quite interesting, i want to know which characters, from any media, would best represent the values represented by these 4 Gods

Crom: God of the Cimmerians, he cares little for anything but strength. He is aGrim God, rarely showing emotion in his battles. He answers no prayers, and will send Doom upon those who pray to him( he sees prayer as annoying and a sign of weakness). But, as his redeeming value, Crom grants strength and courage into all Cimmerians at birth, so thay may pray to himthrough their deeds.

Ymir: Gods of the Aesir and Vanir, Ymir is main enemy to Crom. He takes joy in his work, fighting as a Berserker and feasting heavily afterwards. A similiar place awaits those who impress him in battle. He is not a complete monster, and will save those who were fought on dihonorable terms.

Mitra: God of light, he is the main gof of most civilized parts of The Hyborean world. He is a sun god, as well as the only Hyborean deity who sems truly benevolent. when nations fall to evil, he will send champions to to save them. When evil gods are being Worshipped, he is the light of reason in the area. (at least theoretically, a lot of the preists of Mitra are total dicks)

Set: A snake God, no longer worshipped publically in the vast majority of the world, he does not seem to like human life. Battle, however, is not his way. Hios cults will ud\se pison and sorcery to kill, and only ever seem to use blades when performing a sacrifce to Set

for those more fluent in trope talk

Crom: The Stoic, Blood Knight, Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes solid type 5, Stop Worshipping Me or at leaast stop praying, or he will kill you, The Big Guy type 1, to pray to him, you have to be {{In Harm's Way}}

Ymir: Boisterous Bruiser, The Berserker, BarbarianHero strangley enough, he seems to Exemplify this trope better than Conan's god Crom, Noble Savage.

Mitra: Crystal Dragon Jesus, Lawful Good, Only Sane Man of the Hyborean gods,

Set: Reptiles Are Abhorrent, Magnificent Bastard, Humans Are Bastards in the eyes of Set, God of Evil, Poison Is Evil, Human Sacrifice
