What type of gods do you want to see in ashes?

As we know, there are going to be ten gods in ashes, and of the ten only seven of them, we can worship. My question to you all is what type of gods do you want to see and what powers/domains would they have?

I would like a god of chaos. One that encourages others to break traditions, embodies entropy, and results in worshipers slowly going insane (as the augment progress).

There is a non-zero chance of this happening c: I'd love a god of chaos too, make it an entity that concerns itself little with mortal affairs too.

Suddenly I want a succubus to be a tulnar option....

Selfish ones. Vain ones. Loving, hateful, scheming... there is SO much more to a god than just what it represents. I'd rather take a conniving god of hurtful remarks than a bland and boring god of lightning.

I'd rather not see any gods. Just the temples and followers and keep the gods out of it, on their own planes. Because as soon as you have gods they just eventually turn into raid fodder even if the lore doesn't really support it.

At most maybe heralds or avatars for gods as extra-planar beings that do the god or goddesses bidding and are their representatives on Verra.

I would like gods/goddesses for seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. This could play well with the seasonal changes in game.

The one true God.

Oh mighty Karthos we, thy humble servants, beseech thee. Bestow thine divine blessings upon us so that our drinking horns are never empty, our pizza is always hot and ready, our swords are ever sharp and our dice always roll a natural 20!!

Make it so Lord, make it so!

Fair enough. In that case I'd like complex characters that reflect how people would actually see their gods with like and dislikes, virtues and vices. The idea that gods were God of X and God of Y from most school yard mythology is a really poor understanding of the cultures that worshiped them and how they were seen as more complete individuals.

I want something a bit more than just archetypical god of death, god of rebirth, ect. Sure you can have a deity that is all about death, but give them other interests as well. Give them things they don't like and personalities, from a lore perspective. Have the cultures that worship them have weird tales about them that have nothing to do with their standard "god of..." role.

For example, while most people know Aphroditie as a goddess of love she is also a keeper of graveyards and will destroy someone for desecrating the dead and offerings to her included growing rooftop gardens and then letting them wilt and die.

I think I would enjoy a god like Crom, one that fills the slot, but doesn't really do anything.

I would love a god of the forge.

Excuse me I've been intent on finishing a bottle of rye so I can start fresh on wine tomorrow.

Let every God be a dev or someone in the hierarchy of the game that chooses their minions or servants on a whim. Steven Sharif wants to be the God of a certain race, class, and citizen of a particular region and they benefit from his godhood. Jeffrey Bard decides to support the opposite of Steven, then their patronage might have a problem with each other, but resolve their differences to combat the greater evil or good posed by Margaret Krohn.

Yes, I'm watching the builder video from the developer diary on YouTube.

God's that don't really care.

If ants built a stick henge, you'd be interested in what they did and said for a time... But you'd get bored eventually and go find grandpa's magnifying glass.

Otherwise I'd want truly unique gods. Maybe give them dual faces/personalities and model them after the seven deadly sins/seven virtues.

Chastity/Lust
Temperance/Gluttony
Charity/Greed
Diligence/Sloth
Patience/Wrath
Kindness/Envy
Humility/Pride

You can worship any of the seven how you interpret them, but the interpretation should be up for debate. I wouldn't make it quite so obvious, just give each God a name and a vague description that kinda hints at both sides of the coin.

I would love the idea of a god of deals but in a different sense of how we usually see them. Typically we see some form of the Monkey Paw or genie affect where someone makes a deal and they get it but not the way they want and end up hating their wish. I would like to see a god who is upfront on the price of their deals, but also grants the wish as is. For example someone wishes for goof fortune, the god would respond this fortune would come at the cost of someone else's life and then the person taking the deal would have to live with the fact that murdered someone. Probably to deep for a game but hey it would be something new.

I can see something like that in ashes to be honest

I just noticed something:

"One of the aspects of the Lore behind the Tulnar was that in the pantheon of gods that exist- having foretold the future through the Goddess of Fate to the Goddess of Creation- these areas in the Underrealm were created in to allow for refuge for which the gods knew would be left behind that couldn't make it to Sanctus. So that was a pre-thought there in the creation of the Underrealm to facilitate that realm where refugees could seek"

THE TULNAR ARE THE CHOSEN ONES!

And they already gave us a ton of gods btw xD

"Early in the creation of the Universe the pantheon of gods was split. Some gods influence the corrupt side of beings that exist in the Universe. It is possible through questing and player decision to join or worship those gods.

It is possible for some storylines to relate to a darker/evil path, if a character should choose.
The gods in Ashes of Creation represent different aspects of the Universe, and feelings as well.

Goddess of Love.
God/Goddess of Creation.
Goddess of Fate (Norlan).
God of Hope (Resna).
God of Truth (Shol)."
