Deities and Concepts for the remaining ones

I'm having some issues with the remaining deities in my game. The mythology of each pantheon includes deities from other pantheons, so it would help in the end if I have, at the very least, each concept down.

There is an average of 7 deities in each pantheon. There are 8 pantheons in total, plus a ninth, unrecognized one, as they are in charge of the 8 others. 7 is a holy number in Illusoria, and it shows. There are 8 continents (one for each pantheon) but one froze over (with the pantheon also being sealed away) due to unknown forces. These forces try to make the universe stabilize with the number 7 (each pantheon, once again, averages at 7. Not all pantheons have exactly 7, but even those who don't have 7 somewhere. Also, there are seven classical elements in the game's universe. Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, of course. Light and Dark classify actions (Light tends to be more defensive and loving, with those who have light tendencies working well in a group. Dark tends to be more offensive and hating of others, with those who have dark tendencies tending to be loners). Then there is the deity element, also known as Illusion, which is a balance of the six others).

So, in total, there are 59 deities in the game (for reference, each continent tends to have - you guessed it - 630 unique Cryscon and 70 fiends (rough estimate), leading to a total of 700 creatures. This does not include deities. Ignoring those shared between continents and those in the ocean, this would mean that there is a total of 5600 creatures, not including deities. A total of 1% of the species in the game would be deities. And this is just a base estimate for now. It will likely end up that total regular species will be far greater than that. Not to mention that regular animals feature in the game as well, making deity species a very miniscule amount).

  • Tier 1 is reality influencing
  • Tier 2 is physics and more vague concepts
  • Tier 3 is forces of nature

So, here are the deities so far. Some have two to three concepts. The one listed first is their main one, however. If in brackets, then all concepts in the brackets are their main ones:

Diamos Pantheon:

~Tier 2~

  • Crmirnauc - Matter/Law/Envy
  • Nrition - Energy/Judgement/Wrath
  • Jtagn - Oblivion/Chaos/Sin

~Tier 3~

  • Hadesonil - Destruction
  • Herantev - Creation
  • Alphight - (Life/Light)/Lust
  • Betotter - (Emotion/Water)/Sloth
  • Gammearth - (Body/Earth)/Gluttony
  • Deltind - (Mind/Wind)/Pride
  • Zetark - (Death/Dark)/Greed

Elmena Pantheon:

~Tier 2~

  • Coyito - Earth/Trickery
  • Eagle/Raven (Not sure yet) - Wind/???
  • Turtala/Thina (Which name?) - Water/???
  • Rabire (?) - Fire/???

~Tier 3~

  • Leavope - (Hope/Joy)
  • Delair - (Despair/Sorrow)
  • Slekupan - No Known Concept, Meant to Kill Deities at end of time

Necrice Pantheon:

~Tier 2~

  • ??? - Lightning
  • ??? - Fire
  • ??? - Ice

??? Pantheon:

~Tier 2~

  • Heavizen - Sky (Based on the Ziz)
  • Behemearth - Land (Based on the Behemoth)
  • Oshiathan - Ocean (Based on the Leviathan)

~Tier 3~

  • ??? - Demonic Forces (Not necessarily evil)
  • ??? - Angelic Forces (Not necessarily good)

??? 2 Pantheon:

~Tier 2~

  • ??? - Thor
  • ??? - Loki
  • ??? - Tyr
  • ??? - Odin
  • ??? - Either Freya or Heimdall, not sure (Some help?)

??? 3 Pantheon:

~Tier 2~

  • Arachnos - Time
  • Choroptera - Space

Top Pantheon (The ones in charge of everything):

~Tier 1~

  • Cryna - Order/Reality Incarnate
  • Chaos - Chaos (Derp)
  • Humality (Prefers to be called Melody) - Balance/Emotion/Music

~Tier 1, Pieces of Chaos~

  • Facumin - Famine
  • Penusta - Pestilence
  • Waracosa - War
  • Derendai - Death

So that leaves 24 deities for me to make. As you can tell, I don't mind reusing some concepts, as long as there is still something unique to them (For example, although the Diamos Deities covered most elements, their shtick is what goes into living, while Elmena (taken from Elements (OH WHAT A SURPRISE!)) covers the elements properly)

Concepts I have so far:

  • Music (Humality is first and foremost Balance. Her having Music and Emotion as side features has to do with how she was born (she is the newest deity in Illusoria's timeline. She was created by a human who played Cryna's Harp, all part of Cryna's ploy. She fucked up big time however as 1) She didn't take into account how powerful Humality would be and 2) The human has trained her to control her emotions and appreciate life, so Cryna's plan of the deities who sealed her attacking her, causing her to become enraged and kill them all so she could be freed kind of fell flat on its face. As such, due to human influence, Melody has some music and emotion based abilities)

Ahem, let's try that again:

  • Music
  • Language
  • Art (Trio with Music and Language?)
  • Nature
  • Technology
  • Fertility
  • Night (Have a sort of demigod...)
  • Day (Have a sort of demigod...)
  • Peace
  • War
  • Weather
  • Spring
  • Summer
  • Fall
  • Winter
  • Gravity/Mass
  • Velocity
  • Tempest
  • Earthquake
  • Volcano (Iffy)
  • Aurorae
  • Plants
  • Animals (Possibly given to Slekupan?)
  • Kinetic (Iffy)

I would like more than 24 concepts to choose from, in case if I can't quite work one in. Deities are not considered concepts. I just put the Norse deities there as I forget exactly what each one represents ^^;

So, any suggestions?

  • Sigh* Guess my thread got pushed aside by others... Honestly, I'm in one of those moods where I just don't give a damn. So I'll bump my thread. Will my thread be deleted? Will I get reprimanded? Will I get help? Who knows! Let's spin the fucking wheel and find out! I have nothing to lose after all, with how my day is turning out

I'm not really sure what you expect me to be able to do. I don't really know what's acceptable or not...

What do you mean by 'Natural forces'?

Also, do you think Nature could be divided into subsections? Like, living organisms and non-living organisms, or something?

Natural forces are things such as storms, the classical elements (some tier 2's having these shows that there is some flexibility), essentially things that affect the planet/humanity

As for nature, the consideration there was how nature is sometimes defined as organic/not man made

I tend to classify nature as three sections-

Animals

Plants

Dead and/or inorganic materials- rock, dirt, metals.

If that helps at all.

Also, natural forces deities? How about some for some of the more major natural disasters? A volcano deity could be interesting. As could a tempest deity, or an earthquake deity.

Hmm... Never considered disasters...

Gems, rocks, etc would fall under earth for the purpose of powers

Might be able to make plants work

Slekupan tends to hate humans and be protective of weak animals, so I could retool him a little (although he is a Dark/Plant/Oz type, making that interesting... Mind you, considering he is loosely based on the pyromaniacal Slenderman, there is already a conflict with his plant nature :D)

And then, how about a water-type one? Perhaps a glacier-type deity? A slow, inexorable one you can't stop...

Thina/Turtala is already water and has a slow fighting style, while the ice deity of Necrice has that glacial style himself (With Necrice, the fighting styles are: Ice - Mighty Glacier. Lightning - Glass Cannon / Fragile Speedster. Fire - The Mario, with an even split between speed and defense)

Edit: I thought a Lightning Bruiser was a fast powerful character with little defense. Misleading title ahoy...

How about Plasma itself, for a healing-type deity?

Wouldn't plasma be covered by energy when the matter is at that point?

Ah. I don't think Blood Plasma is a broad enough concept compared to the others =/

Which is why I relegated it back to normal plasma.

However, if you want to know what plama can be:

  • Lightning

  • Ball lightning

  • St. Elmo's fire

  • Sprites, elves, jets

  • The ionosphere

  • The polar aurorae

  • Most flames

  • The Sun and other stars
(plasmas heated by nuclear fusion)

  • The solar wind

  • The interplanetary medium
(space between planets)

  • The interstellar medium
(space between star systems)

  • The Intergalactic medium
(space between galaxies)

  • The Io-Jupiter flux tube

  • Accretion discs

  • Interstellar nebulae

And they're just the common plasmas.

  • Lightning - Lightning Deity in Necrice

  • Ball lightning - Lightning Deity in Necrice

  • St. Elmo's fire - Creatures in the game are based on this already ; Too specific

  • Sprites, elves, jets - See St. Elmo's fire

  • The ionosphere - Not sure how I would make this work. Suggestions?

  • The polar aurorae - Clarify?

  • Most flames - Nrition (Energy), Rabbit (Fire), Necrice Fire Deity (The Rabbit follows classical elements, the Necrice Tier 2's follow the Fire/Ice/Lightning trio)

  • The Sun and other stars - Already on the list

  • The solar wind - Not sure how I would get that to work

  • The interplanetary medium - Space deity

  • The interstellar medium - Space deity

  • The Intergalactic medium - Space deity (essentially Choroptera represent physical space. She can literally redefine, say, a centimetre to mean a lightyear. While other creatures may achieve an illusion of this, she literally does this)

  • The Io-Jupiter flux tube - I'll need to look that one up

  • Accretion discs - I'll need to look that one up

  • Interstellar nebulae - Eh, not entirely sure how I may get this to work

Eh, might be able to get that to work. Will take some thinking

Would it help if I provided a type list (hey, it started witg Pokemon and Yugioh being inspirations)?

If so, then off the top of my head (each element also counts):

Dark

  • Spirit
  • Undead

Earth

  • Plant
  • Metal
  • Stone
  • Arthropod (Bugs, lobsters, etc)

Fire

  • Dragon
  • Phoenix (In the game, it is more a catch all term for fire birds and spirit birds)

Light

  • Mind

Water

  • Ice
  • Toxic
  • Gel (Think slimes)

Wind

  • Lightning

Oz (The God Element. What all deities have in common)

  • Elemental (Basically The Mario. It can use Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and Dark, but isn't as skilled as one that has one of those as a type)

Fire

  • Magma

Or would that count as Fire and Earth?

Wind

  • Tempest

Light

  • Plasma (Healing- blood plasma type thing)

Energy

  • Kinetic
  • Chemical

.

Any of those any good?

Magma is covered by earth

Tempest could be interesting

Plasma kind of gets beat by Life in healing

Nrition covers energy in general. Of course, Kinetic energy could work with Gravity and Velocity in an odd trio... I'll need to toy with that

That tends to be Deltind (Her main designation is Mind, like how Betotters is Emotion (Heart, kind of) and Gammearths is Body)

It has reached 24, but as stated, having more than 24 would be nice as I am likely going to be unable to work all of the concepts in

Ba-dump.

Economics is the study of human behavior in pursuit of goals (like sociology only quantifiable). I expect that's what was meant, as a similar-but-separate category to mind.
