navar100 12-07-07, 02:42 AM	I'll get the ball rolling. Have fun! Father Time Greater Deity (Lawful Neutral) Symbol: a clock Father Time is that which people keep track of events. As the new year starts he is depicted as a new born baby and by year’s end he is an old man. No matter what you do, the clock ticks away. Portfolio: Time, Renewal, Destiny, Planning, History Domains: Fate, Knowledge, Moon, Mysticism, Oracle, Planning, Plant, Renewal, Time, Travel Dogma: Everything is measured in time. No matter what the event, whether by chance or careful planning, they will unfold in their due time. You can depend on it. The mightiest mages casting their greatest rituals must bow to the will of Father Time as they must get their timing right in their casting. Time waits for no one. Mother Nature Greater Deity (Neutral) Symbol: A tree Often referred to as Gaia, that name refers mostly to the world, but Mother Nature is more than that. She is Life. She is Death. She is Everything in between. It’s not nice to fool her or else feel her wrath. Portfolio: Nature, Weather, Animals, Plants Domains: Air, Animal, Balance, Cold, Creation, Darkness, Destruction, Earth, Fire, Plant, Storm, Sun, Water, Windstorm, Wrath Dogma: Mother Nature is the birth of all things. It is by her will you live. Treat her well and you will benefit from the fruits of her labor. Abuse her, and you will perish. You are but one creature among many. You do not own the world; you just live upon it. The Man Intermediate Deity (Lawful Neutral) Symbol: A badge The Man sees all, knows all, and controls all. He sees to it that everyone is in their place. However, he occasionally can have a soft heart. Portfolio: Government, Law Enforcement, Law, Military, Protection, Justice, Helping Domains: Community, Domination, Force, Inquisition, Knowledge, Law, Nobility, Pact, Planning, Protection, Purification, Tyranny, Wealth Dogma: Maintain law and order. Seek out and punish the law breakers. Those who try to “stick it” to The Man are scum. However, realize it is meant for civilization to thrive. Aid others when called upon. You know you have been blessed when in gratitude a person says to you “You’re the man!”. Elvis Lesser Deity (Neutral Good) Symbol: Sideburns Rock on! Bringing music for the joy of others, it is said “The King” visits the world in the strangest of places, inspiring all who cross his path. Domains: Air, Celerity, Charm, Dream, Liberation, Lust, Madness, Metal, Renewal, Travel Dogma: The King lives! Always have faith in him. Music is the window to all joy. Any problem can be solved if you understand. Be very much thankful to those who help you, and they’ll know when you have left.
Kain_Darkwind 12-07-07, 03:14 AM	Death Intermediate Deity (Neutral Good) This guy does the other gods' dirty work, but he's not too bad of a guy once you get him drinking. And no matter what you hear, he NEVER laid a finger on the King. Portfolio: Death Domains: Death Dogma: Death comes to us all. Taxes Intermediate Deity (Neutral Evil) $$$ Portfolio: Futility, Greed, Money, Toil Domains: Evil, Greed, Trickery Dogma: The golden rule is this: pay up.
Amon_V 12-07-07, 03:43 AM	Lady Luck [Intermediate Deity] Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Emblem: Two Dice Domains: Luck, Trickery, Chaos The whimsical force behind every roll and every shuffle, Lady Luck is as often blessed as she is reviled. Truly whimsical and unpatterned, she seems to care nothing for her followers, other than the basic mantra of the greatest risks meet the greatest payoffs. Rodina [Deceased, formerly Lesser Deity] Alignment: Lawful Evil Emblem: A Red Hammer and Sickle Domains: Law, Evil, Community, Trickery Rodina, also known as Mother was the short lived matriarch of radical ideals supposedly designed to provide equality to all of humanity; leading to the dominance of the workers and farmers. Instead, Rodina betrayed her more dedicated disciples and profited at their expense. Far from equality, Rodina became a cold, heartless lie--and her divine realm a horrible, unequal police state. Rodina lies dead now, as her followers have moved away from worshiping her. Jack Frost [Demigod] Alignment: True Neutral Emblem: A Snowflake. Domains: Water, Air, Nature Jack Frost is a demigod of winter, and mostly a matter of curiousity. On some nights, he paints windows and yards with a thin layer of ice. Jack Frost is generally harmless and isolationist; only a few ice sculptors worship him. The Invisible Hand [Overdeity] Alignment: Lawful Neutral Emblem: A Dollar Sign. Domains: Law, Greed, Prosperity Much more than other deities, the Invisible Hand simply dominates reality. With the defeat of his archrival Rodina, the Invisible Hand now dominates everything. Not this is a bad thing, as the Invisible hand efficiently provides the maximum utility to the maximum number of people. Optimization is the key mantra of those who follow the Invisible Hand--and much of the United States is filled with the intangible but very real forces of his representatives on earth--the corporations. Indeed, whole sections of New York City essentially serve as a Massive Cathedral to the worship of the Invisible Hand, and every person in the world pays at least some attention to his views. If there is hedgemony on Earth, the Invisible hand has it. Goodwill [Intermediate Deity] Alignment: Neutral Good Emblem: A donation Pot. Domains: Good, Charity, Travel Goodwill exists but for a single purpose--to help the less fortunate when they need it most. While their shrines in front of supermarkets and stores might be annoying, few deny that they serve a critical role in society and are on the front lines to avert human suffering.
Furryhowler 12-07-07, 04:15 AM	Dollar Intermediate Deity (Neutral Evil) Portfolio: Greed, Chance, Salvation Domains: Evil, Law, Chaos, Greed, Trickery, Charm, Travel Dogma: I am your $aviour, put your faith in me and if you have enough faith you will channel me and be $aved. Warning, investments may go up as well as down
The Ubbergeek 12-07-07, 06:13 PM	It's ironic and not serious, but really, that is COOL. :D Stat Anarchy, maybe....
ArkhamInmate 12-07-07, 06:44 PM	Anarchy (lesser diety) Chaotic Neutral Symbol: Anarchy Symbol Portfolio: Chaos, freedom(from rulers), and Strength(of oneself) Domains: Chaos, Trickery, Truth Dogma: We advocate the absence of the state, we believe that common sense would allow for people to come together in agreement to form a functional society allowing for the participants to freely develop their own sense of morality, ethics or principled behavior. Anarchy believes that you do not need a codified set of laws to govern the world, because even without them, humanity "would do the right thing" as it were. Originally he viewed The Man as merely a useless being but since the defeat of Rodina,(who he viewed as a friend) he believes that The Man should be stopped at all costs
BigGus 12-07-07, 10:46 PM	This thread rocks! Rodina [Deceased, formerly Lesser Deity] Alignment: Lawful Evil Emblem: A Red Hammer and Sickle Domains: Law, Evil, Community, Trickery Rodina, also known as Mother was the short lived matriarch of radical ideals supposedly designed to provide equality to all of humanity; leading to the dominance of the workers and farmers. Instead, Rodina betrayed her more dedicated disciples and profited at their expense. Far from equality, Rodina became a cold, heartless lie--and her divine realm a horrible, unequal police state. Rodina lies dead now, as her followers have moved away from worshiping her. There are some cults who still worship Rodina; they claim that she was betrayed by The Invisible Hand, rather than being the betrayer herself, and that she will one day rise again. Few listen to them, however. Science [Greater Deity] Alignment: Lawful Neutral Symbol: Slide rule Portfolio: Reason, Progress, Measurement Domains: Knowledge, Law, Truth Dogma: Come to my holy Laboratory, and perform my sacred Experiments according to my Method, and I shall reveal all the Secrets of the World to you. A relatively young deity, Science has nonetheless achieved great prominence in recent years, and now has temples in virtually every nation on Earth. Many, having followed the Method, believe they have found the true Secrets of the World, but the wise say; always there are more secrets, you must walk the path of the Method every day of your life, lest you fall into folly. The Box [Lesser Deity] Alignment: Neutral Symbol: Hand holding remote control Portfolio: Entertainment, Education, Misinformation Domains: Cele(b)rity, Community, Dream, Knowledge, Trickery, Wealth Dogma: Don't touch that dial! A widely worshipped deity; many families come together only to worship before Him. Opponents, however, claim He's nothing but a lapdog of The Man. Internet [Lesser Deity] Alignment: Neutral Symbol: Tin of Spam Portfolio: Omniscience, Wasted Time, Conspiracy Theories, Pornography Domains: Knowledge, Oracle, Trickery Dogma: Come to me for all things, for I can answer all your questions, sell you things you never knew you needed, and make your ***** bigger in just 7 days, guaranteed! The youngest and fastest-growing deity of all, Internet has ascended from demi-deity to lesser deity in just the last few years, and is showing signs of supplanting The Box in dominance. Widely believed to be a great force for liberation, but some say The Man in slowly gaining influence over Her.
Space_Dragon 12-07-07, 11:14 PM	Metal Intermediate God Alignment: Chaotic evil Symbol: An adamantine spike Portfolio: Chaos, violence, rebellion, cruelty, certain genres of music Domains: Chaos, Evil, Destruction, Darkness, Fire, Wrath Dogma: Kill, rape, and destroy...especially babies. Metal is the only power that can persevere, for metal is the inevitable downfall of everything else. Worship metal by disrespecting and disregarding everyone and everything besides yourself, and even yourself if possible. There is no life, no death, no good, and no evil. Only metal.

Has taken particular prominance in the realm of the "New World". Historically the worshippers of this deity split in to two factions vying for global control through differing social hypothesii. The steadfast worshippers of the new world ultimately gained victory through subterfuge and currying internal strife in their opponents.
Amon_V 12-08-07, 05:01 AM	Microsoft, despite its malevolent intentions, almost certainly follows the instructions of the Invisible hand. [Going to be hard to beat Rodina, here's another go] Katrina (varies by season, currently a demigod) Chaotic Neutral Symbol: A spiral, with a black circle in the middle. Domains: Water, Nature, Chaos, Destruction Feared rather than worshiped, Katrina is now revealed eldest sibling to what could a large number of powerful deities. In the last tragic meeting between Katrina, her sibling Rita, and humanity, the City of New Orleans was destroyed, as was much of the Gulf Coast. Katrina is unintelligent and a 'force of nature'. Still, she is generally viewed as a chaotic force of wonton destruction. She can't be appeased, and she can appear at massive size without warning. Haxxorz (Lesser Deity) Neutral Evil Symbol: A black rectangle with a blue rectangle within it; sometimes with an exclamation point in a triangle as a miniture logo. Domain: Evil, Secrets, War Haxxorz is a great evil that is newly born, thanks to the advent of technology. The architect of massive spamming, followed by viruses and now moving onward to malware and browser hijacking. Some of the Greatest diseases yet known: Bugbear, Code Red, ILoveYou, and Welchia have been born from this nefarious entity, who revels in destruction as a test of his followers skill and loyalty The Sisters Aurora (Borealis and Australis) Lesser Deities Neutral Good Symbol: a rainbow ribbon Domain: Light, Good, Protection The Sisters Aurora, sometimes known as the Lighters, provide earth with powerful shielding that may have killed other planets in the past. They create a powerful magnetic field that stops high energy radiation from killing life on the planet from random. As they do so, they leave a brilliant trail of lights in the sky. Paparazzi Greater Deity (Pantheon) True Neutral Symbol: varies by month or even week. Generally, contains a picture of whomever it wishes to focus on. Domain: Knowledge, Secrets, Inquisition The Paparazzi is loved as much as it is loathed. Their critical function is to provide its followers as much information about Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie, or anyone else that makes a lot of money. They then, have a great deal of followers, although the people they pursue are often unhappy and impatient at best. Paparazzi is a frequent element of our society, a friend of the black box. Followers of Paparazzi are known as 'Gossips' and love to learn more about their targets; known as 'celebrities'. In one tragic case, the paparazzi caused the death of a English Royal through aggressive pursuit.
Kain_Darkwind 12-08-07, 10:27 AM	Drunk Driving Lesser Deity Chaotic Evil Symbol: A team of beautiful horses Domain: Chaos, Death, Destruction Dogma: Everyone does it sometime or another. Just be careful and no harm will come to thee. Should thou be caught in worship, sue the bar that served thee, for it is surely their fault and not thine own. Drunk Driving works closely with Death to ensure that his superior deity's coffers never go empty. Indiscriminately slaughtering people throughout the world, DD claims countless victims. In one tragic case, Drunk Driving caused the death of a English Royal through the royal's driver. In a shocking twist of events, Drunk Driving managed to blame the Paparazzi pantheon for his cruel actions.
CryoSilver 12-08-07, 01:19 PM	Sensationalist Media Intermediate Deity True Neutral Symbol: an explosion Domains: Death, Destruction, Fire Portfolio: cynicism, fear, lies Dogma: ZOMG the terrorists and WMDs and Gloabl Warming and cancer! You live in a world filled with terrible danger and you're going to die any second because any one of millions of awful things are going to happen to you unless you watch our show at 10 tonight and learn how to protect yourself from the phishers and pedophiles and Iran! Sensationalist Media uses lies and exaggeration to dull the moral sense of its worshippers, who are a jaded and emotionally dead lot of folks, all told. Sensationalist media is why I do not watch television, other than The Simpsons.
Space_Dragon 12-08-07, 01:22 PM	Bud Demigod Alignment: True neutral Symbol: A leaf Portfolio: Himself Domains: Madness, Mind, Dream Dogma: Bud is a god with many qualities. He is used for scientific and medical purposes by the status quo, but is fiercely hunted down and persecuted among the common folk. He is ridiculously expensive, but everyone seems determined to spend their money on him anyway.
CryoSilver 12-08-07, 01:28 PM	Beer Lesser God Alignment: Chaotic neutral Symbol: an aluminum can Portfolio: altered states of mind, parties, wild antics, abuse, violence, addiction Domains: Chaos, Madness, Water Dogma: A better-known cousin of Bud, Beer, despite killing more people every year, and causing large amounts of abuse and addiction, is better liked and his worship is legal, even encouraged by The Man.
Nogitsune_Teumessia 12-08-07, 02:32 PM	Murphy (also worshiped under the name Sod or Finagle) Greater Deity (possibly an Uberdeity, depending on who you ask) Alignment: Neutral Symbol: A sheet of paper containing his Law Portfolio: Possibilities, Liklihoods Domains: Law, Fate Dogma: Anything that can go wrong will. Murphy is a practical deity who encourages his worshipers to prepare for every eventuality. As almost everyone has quoted his Law at sometime or another, he has gained an extrordinary amount of power and presence in the multiverse. Easter Bunny Lesser Deity Alignment: Neutral Good Symbol: Colored Eggs Portfolio: Springtime, Joy, Easter, Rainbows Domains: Birth, Rebirth, Good, Renewal Dogma: The Easter Bunny is a friendly deity that always carries a basket of colored eggs, many of which are actually candy designed to look like colored eggs, and distributes them for children to find on Easter morning. Despite his friendly nature he has more or less usurped Easter Day as his holiday - it was once a day of remembrance for when another deity rose from the dead. Thanksgiving Turkey Demigod Alignment: Neutral Symbol: Turkey feathers, sometimes a cornucopia Portfolio: Food Domains: Gluttony, Plenty Dogma: The Thanksgiving Turkey encourages eating massive amounts of foods, particularly turkey while watching games or parades. He has lost a lot of power over the years due to the machinations of Big Business and the intrusion of preparations for Santa Claus. Big Business Greater Deity Alignment: Lawful Evil Symbol: Money Portfolio: Money, Power, Cruelty Domains: Greed, Power, Glory, Law, Evil Dogma: The bottom line is all that matters. Big Business encourages profit no matter what the cost to workers or their families. It ensures this by putting people in positions of power over companies and corporations who have complete understanding of business but no understanding of compassion outside of how they can make their business look appealing so people will shop there. Big Business ensures that anyone trying to point out the flaws of the executive orders to the executives is sent to either the patience-taxing plane of 'Hold for the Next Available Operator' or an endless maze of options involving pressing one number after another which, despite promises to the contrary, never lead to anywhere with an actual living being.
Kain_Darkwind 12-08-07, 03:06 PM	Dogma: A better-known cousin of Bud, Beer, despite killing more people every year, and causing large amounts of abuse and addiction, is better liked and his worship is legal, even encouraged by The Man. Drunk Driving takes issue with you giving credit solely to Beer for those deaths.
CryoSilver 12-08-07, 03:11 PM	Beer is part of the Triad of Ethanol, along with Liquor (CE) and Wine (LN)
meigin 12-09-07, 12:44 AM	Ronald McDonald Alignment: NE Symbol: Golden M rune Domain: festivals, the young, subversion Worshipped predominantely by the 5 - 19 years demographic, this deity of the younger generations curiously attatraction worshippers through providing (Mc) feasts in exchange for financial offerings. This deity is known to conduct broad campaigns utilising a number of causes to attract a number of the newly faithful. It is known that while the core worshippers are the younger of the main populace, that secretly a number of elders give thanks to Ronald McDonald for the bounty he provides. Though providing an bountiful offering to the faithful, this is actually a demon in diguise as long term continuous partaking leads to addiction to the offerings, pop culture and eventual obesity. A minority group converge in secret to debate and conspire to lead the young away from the trap of what is now coined as McDonalds (the common name for the many temples established - it is common place to see 50+ temples in a large metropolis). Ronald McDonald keeps two servitors in his keep, known as the Hamburgular - the demon who retakes the bounty of the unfaithful; and Grimus - the ravager of the unbelievers. Grimus is known to attack and engineer espionage against some emergent demigods moving in on Ronald McDonalds domain, such as Colonel Sanders, the Burger King, Pizza the Hutt, and the mysterious Domino.

Murphy is a practical deity who encourages his worshipers to prepare for every eventuality. As almost everyone has quoted his Law at sometime or another, he has gained an extrordinary amount of power and presence in the multiverse. Murphy is indeed a powerful deity; he alone can frustrate the plans of The Invisible Hand.
zook1shoe666 12-11-07, 12:47 AM	Enron Demigod (Deceased) Alignment: NE (lawful tendencies) Symbol: Cubic "E".

Ascetics of LSD tend to be intent on experiencing everything they can.
Space_Dragon 12-11-07, 06:47 PM	Big Brother Intermediate God Alignment: Lawful evil Symbol: Eye on top of a pyramid. Portfolio: civil surveilance, social control, censorship. Domains: Law, Evil, Tyrrany, Knowledge, Force. Big Brother is a disgusting creature who serves in the divine court of The Man as a black-ops agent. He is the god of propoganda, control, censorship, and totalitarianism, whose skills are sometimes employed to keep The Man in power. The other gods of that faction-including The Man himself-despise Big Brother, but they see him as a neccesary evil.
BigGus 12-11-07, 08:16 PM	Uncle Sam [Intermediate Deity] Alignment: Lawful Neutral Symbol: Stars-and-stripes top hat Portfolio: The US Domains: Community, Protection, War The patron god of the USA, Uncle Sam is still beloved in his home nation, but has become rather unpopular elsewhere of late, due to an unfortunate alliance with WMD. A lot of people still haven't forgiven him for unleashing Ronald McDonald on the world, either. John Bull [Lesser Deity] Alignment: Lawful Neutral Symbol: Bulldog or Union Jack vest Portfolio: England Domains: Law, Community, Gluttony Usually portrayed as a rather stocky man in a low top hat, John Bull's power has waned considerably in recent decades from his once pre-eminent position among national deities. Generally seen as conservative and straight-talking. Offerings of roast beef are still made to him in many English households every Sunday.
meigin 12-12-07, 01:07 AM	Jack - Intermediate Deity Alignment: LN (G) Symbol: Boxing Kangaroo on a green field Portfolio: Australia Domains: courage, nationalism, will, berserkers Jack is the iconic symbol for the nation of Australia and in times of intense sports competition and even war is utilised in place of the national flag. Jack inspires great spirit and courage within the populace pushing them beyond normal limitations. When invoked by a great priest of this sect during a time of need, the simple folk are binded into a near unstopable unit of actions as required. Often where gathered in large numbers, Australians invoking the "Boxing Kangaroo" are seen to chanted voraciously driven to frenzy and may become berserkers at will. Recent years has seen Jack follow Uncle Sam on misguided quests for what appear to be surface deep only causes. This has caused Jack some loss in stature, but being the embodiment of the Australian people he is not long diminished. Despite a great variance in faith in times of great need all people of Australia venerate and respond to to the call of Jack. It is noted also that during these times frenzied worshippers will paint their faces green and gold. Although a small nation by population, when in the frenzy of the Boxing Kangaroo, large forces have been known to be defeated or driven from the field of battle.
DwarfPcfan 12-12-07, 01:39 PM	Apathy OverDeity Alignement: Neutral Evil Portfolio: Apathy, entropy, sloth, self-destruction Domains: Evil, Sloth, Entropy, destruction, Time Every one fears the invisible hand, the man and other incarnations of Tyranny, evil and corruption. They are truly gods tobe rekoned with But in the end the one true lord of evil is Apathy. He is the overgod of uncaring masses, the dark festering shadow that takes away the will of the forces of good to fight back. He clouds the masses into becoming complacent sheep and blinds them to the abuses of other lords of evil. Apathy seeks one thing the complete subservience of every being in existence to a life devoid of will and placed into a slavery that he is not aware. And in this Apathy if he succeeds will see the world anihilated forever into a numb emptyness he has craved ever since he was born. Yet Apathy has not won for one patheon of mighty gods oppose him a pantheon of Gods with legendary names: Idealism, Justice, Courage, Fortitude, Free Speech, Just Law. All served by one overdeity that weakens everyday, Common Good...
BigGus 12-16-07, 02:17 PM	Apathy OverDeity Alignement: Neutral Evil Portfolio: Apathy, entropy, sloth, self-destruction Domains: Evil, Sloth, Entropy, destruction, Time Amusing that the thread has stopped dead since you posted this one... ...so, to attempt to prove Apathy hasn't completely taken over yet, I'll try to re-start it. Diana, Princess of Hearts [Demi-deity] Alignment: Neutral Good (allegedly) Symbol: Crowned heart Portfolio: Landmine victims, AIDS patients, old ladies who go "ahhhh" Domains: Charity, Charm, Good, Nobility Despite vast quantities of first-hand accounts testifying that she was just an ordinary woman, albeit one who did a lot of work for Charity (aka Goodwill), much of the British public refuse to accept that she was anything less than divine. The public outpourings of grief on her death were unparalleled in living memory. Her untimely death appears to have won her a place among the ascended gods and goddesses, alongside The King, Marilyn the fair, Kurt; bringer of Nirvana, and others. The Son of Man [Demi-deity] Alignment: Neutral Evil Symbol: A helter-skelter Portfolio: Murder, mind-control, family Domains: Death, Domination, Evil, Madness, Trickery Charles, the Son of Man, King of the Serial Killers, is seen by many as the current incarnation of True Evil on Earth (although Emperor George II, the Burning Bush, may have overtaken him by now). Best known for perverting the teachings of LSD and Anarchy into a creed befitting his master, Nihilism (son of Apathy).
Phae 12-16-07, 06:39 PM	Katrina (varies by season, currently a demigod) Chaotic Neutral Symbol: A spiral, with a black circle in the middle. Domains: Water, Nature, Chaos, Destruction Feared rather than worshipped, Katrina is now revealed eldest sibling to what could a large number of powerful deities. In the last tragic meeting between Katrina, her sibling Rita, and humanity, the City of New Orleans was destroyed, as was much of the Gulf Coast. Katrina is unintelligent and a 'force of nature'. Still, she is generally viewed as a chaotic force of wonton destruction. She can't be appeased, and she can appear at massive size without warning. My retort: New Orleans(Formerly a Greater Deity, now a Lesser due to heavy damage in a war with Katrina.) Chaotic Good Symbol: Fleur de Lys Portfolio: Mirth, Commerce, Chance, and Good Food Domains: Luck, Trickery, Protection, Good Much like the mysterious :lop:, it is undetermined if New Orleans is truly a god or a city. The truth has lain between these ideas for hundreds of years. New Orleans is a city, and a god; it exists as a city and rules as a god through an emissary known as The Mayor. Due to the cities chaotic behavior, during times of extreme stress The Mayor has been known to make ridiculous and often appalling statements about residents and New Orleans in general. There. I couldn't let my city be punched around like that.

Big Business is steadily eroding many other dieties in power...Santa Clause is almost wholey under his vile clutches, the dieties of home and hearth are being trampled underfoot...not attacked so much as ignored in the race for more money. Any deity that darfes to stand inopposition is to be crushed at once...and Big Business is doing so
The Ubbergeek 12-19-07, 08:43 PM	A note - Big Business don't care for laws; it use them, or break them, as it profits Him. He should be Neutral EVil.
faghter_hero 12-20-07, 10:05 PM	Blahuatl, god of Televangelism Titles: Lord of Late Night Televangelism, JEEEE-zis, Mr. Money Seed, (incoherent chatter) Symbol: Cross or dove with a telephone number in the bottom corner you can call if you need a money loan. Demigod Portfolio: Inspiration, riches, enthusiastic speech, real estate, charities you've never heard of Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Domains: Destruction, Healing, Luck, Trickery Dogma: Anything Benny Hinn says. Worshippers: Evangelists, Rogues, Warriors Those who honor Blahuatl rarely acknowledge his name. He is a wistful god, known to propel his followers to the glory of all-day telethons while setting them up for a scandal. His favor is easily gained and easily lost, but it's one hell of a ride in between. Temples of Blahuatl are stadium-like structures filled with throngs of devotees, with an elevated stage at the center for the Cleric, though casual worshipers merely watch at home from a television. Clerics of Blahuatl can perform both miracles of healing and miracles of tax evasion, and who can say which is which? Krashka, god of Spectacular Car Wrecks Title: He Who Amuses Me, The Roadside Attractor, The Great Gawker, The Road Warrior, Holy **** Did You See That?! Symbol: The rolling hubcap Demigod Portfolio: Metal, speed, injury Alignment: Neutral Evil Domains: Celerity, Corruption, Evil, Fire Dogma: Drive everywhere in a hurry so you have time to stop and see the next wreck. GOGOGO! Worshippers: Barbarians Krashka is a cruel and demanding god, taking human lives as he pleases to satisfy his bloodlust. His followers build small roadside offerings of burnt steel and blood, so worshipers can drive by slowly and stare. Popular temples to Krashka are surrounded by circular roads, known as NASCARs, where the most loyal worshipers participate in bloodsport rituals as they speed along the track. Other designs include open pits covered in dirt for ritual car-dances. However, Krashka himself claims the most lives at the freeways and intersections of the world, sending his minions to slow down and block traffic.

They are not a very accomplished group of worshipers, their only major achievement being a tongue of their own no outsider can speak, known as L337$P34|< in honor of their god. It is believed that worshipers of L337 and his emissaries, the demigods WoW and Evercrack, are attempting to warp the moderately dangerous lands full of dungeons and dragons into even more lethal and disgusting realms of mutated monsters, odd races, and plains of gore (abbreviated to MMORPG lands by L337's detractors). Because the Church of L337 is reviled by all, its members must remain hidden; as their main goal is to elevate L337 to Greater Deity status, their recognition sign is "L337 for Greater" and is shortened to "LFG" if worshipers are not sure of others' identities. (No, I don't play WoW or Everquest. Typing that was almost physically painful.:yuck:) Linux Titles: Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Symbol: Penguin on a silver disk background Greater Deity Portfolio: Freedom, equal opportunities Alignment: Chaotic Good Domains: Chaos, Good, Liberation, Knowledge Dogma: In a world without walls, who needs Gates or Windows? Worshippers: Computer geeks Linux is a benevolent deity, content to allow his adherents total freedom in their worship. They can customize their ceremonies, disk size (of course referring to holy symbol size), and everything about Linux's temples. His first mortal worshiper, Linus Torvalds, escaped from the tyranny of a land in the thrall of Microsoft's clergy, and spent many years creating a haven free from Microsoft's influence. Worshipers of Linux are encouraged to spread his word and free folk from tyranny wherever they go; while Microsoft tithes his adherents ceaselessly and doesn't support them in their endeavors, clerics of Linux are instructed to provide silver disks (holy symbols!) engraved with his teachings to all who ask for no fee. In this way, the power of Linux has been waxing while that of Microsoft wanes, and with the help of a lesser deity named Mac, Microsoft might be thrown down altogether. Mac Titles: iGod Symbol: Apple on a white background Lesser Deity Portfolio: Creativity, art, music Alignment: Chaotic Good Domains: Chaos, Good, Artifice Dogma: Dude, like, worship Mac Worshippers: Artists, bards After a fairly recent rise to godhood, the god Mac embraces the tenets of Linux but has a much smaller base of worship. He caters to the many bards of the land and tries to free them from Microsoft's grip whenever possible. Having escaped the tyranny of Microsoft like Linux's prophet did, Mac tries to lure worshipers away from Microsoft by providing almost all of the same services Microsoft did but in way that both looks better and promotes better values. Because of his focus on the individual, his clergy preface most of his holy items with "I"; his hymnal is an iBook, his relics are iMacs, etc. His clergy are constantly attired in black all over their body so as to block their features from view (so clerics of Microsoft cannot identify them) and carry magic items disguised as seed pouches, called iPods, that store Mac's hymns and play them aloud to convert Microsoft worshipers.

Symbol: The At, the Pound, the Percent, the Ampersand, the Dollar, and the Asterisk, though not necessarily in that order. Divine Rank 2 Portfolio: Fingers smashed and caught in things, swollen sores, power tool accidents, sailors and soldiers, great annoyances, swearing both gratuitous and apropos, Tourette's syndrome. Alignment: Chaotic Evil Domains: Demonic, Evil, Pain, War Weapon: War Hammer Dogma: It's 7 words long and I'm not going to spell it out for you. Worshipers: Fighters, Rogues, Sorcerers, Grizzled 1890s Prospectors, George Carlin When the world was still young and impressionable, the Lords of Tarnation knocked heads with the goddess Miss Manners in what would become the eternal F-War. As Tarnation was darned to the deepest pits of the thousand Hecks, its mightiest tyrant began to chant a curse so strong and terrible it would take a million lifetimes to complete, but instead he bit his tongue in half and shouted "HOLY BIJESUS!" The power of the curse transformed his shout into a god, and Holy Bijesus was born. He quickly spread his influence into the mortal world, and gave names to all that is filthy and obscene. Bijesus may not have a temple or a clericy, but more prayers are uttered to him than to any other god.

Often touting sex appeal or rugged independence, Big Tobacco is a serial fraudster that often sweet-talks his way out of trouble. Although Big Tobacco is clearly evil, there are a large number of people who religiously partake in his "blessings" several times a die. His own followers are abused by his own rituals, and often suffer medical problems. Still, they are the most ardent supporters of this deity. Big Pharma[Intermediate Deity] Alignment: Formally Neutral Good, now True Neutral. Symbol: Rx Domains: Healing, Water, Knowledge There exists a means to undo every flaw, every failing in humanity, if only the correct chemical can be found. Big Pharma aggressively searches for this knowledge, creating means for more people to live better lives for a longer time--but Big Pharma has not been completely altrustic in its motives. Recent events have revealed a colder, meaner sign to what was formally a somewhat altruistic business. Military Industrial Complex [Greater Deity] Alignment: Lawful Neutral, some Evil tendencies. Symbol: A Gun Domains: Law, Strength, Destruction An extremely powerful deity, more powerful than most people have ever imagined, the Military Industrial Complex sells the means and the methods for war. While some nations never fire a bullet or launch a grenade, the Military Industrial Complex's mixed blessing is war materials. The darker side of the Military Industrial Complex is the profits made from war and weaponry. If there is a means to make war profitable at all, here is where the money is made. Outsourcing [Lesser Deity] Alignment: Chaotic Good?? Symbol: An Arrow Domains: Chaos, Good, Travel Sometimes, nations become too protective of their workers, mandating wages too high for businesses to pay, labor unions demand an unfair share of revenues, and consumers demand still ever lower prices for materials. This can be avoided. The whismical and incredible opportunity of outsourcing makes better means possible. Now labor costs have gone through the floor, allowing most the world to enjoy more items for less money. In addition, the lack of legal protections for workers in these less developed countries means that tort action will never happen. Outsourcing is the patron saint of the 21st industry business--who garners the profit that was formally unobtainable. :)
CryoSilver 01-01-08, 04:25 PM	Anti-Smoking Alignment: Lawful Evil Symbol: A large red circle with a slash through it Portfolio: Lies, moralism, crusade Domains: Law, Evil, Trickery Anti-Smoking is a deity directly opposed to Big Tobacco that uses fear-mongering and distorted facts to advance its agenda. Despite the fact that many other deities and causes are just as harmful as Big Tobacco (like Jimbo, God of Microwaving Plastic Containers, or George, God of Tanning Booths), Anti-Smoking attempts to portray it as the ultimate evil, stopping just short of infringing on the territory of the deity Godwin. Anti-Smoking uses outright lies, selective exclusion of information, fear-mongering, straw men and brainwashing to control the masses. (Sorry, but as a smoker and libertarian, I had to)

CryoSilver 01-01-08, 08:51 PM	Left-Wing Whackjob Alignment: Chaotic Evil Symbol: A bleeding heart Portfolio: the disenfranchised, theft, complaining too damn much Domains: Chaos, Evil, Madness Left-Wing Whackjob (LWW) is an enigmatic figure; while he appears to support the idea of a better life for all, he really means a better life for those who haven't earned it. LWW taxes his followers heavily and igves them nothing back, has a vast priesthood that doesn't seem to actually accomplish much, and tends to not really help those who need help in the first place due to constant in-fighting. Right-Wing Dictator Alignment: Lawful Evil Symbol: An iron fist Portfolio: control, military power, moralism Domains: Law, Evil, Tyranny Right-Wing Dictator (RWD) is the twin brother of LWW. He espouses absolute control concentrated in the hands of his very small priesthood made up of the wealthy and influential. He legislates morality as he loosens control of the economy. RWD tends to make life miserablefor minority groups, and is even a bit harsh for the majority who either obey or suffer.
