Pagan God

The Pagan Gods are known among the Adepts as those ancient spirits of obscure origin who walked among primitive humans pretending to be the gods of their various mythologies. The Pagan Gods were defeated by the Adepts in an ancient wars, or they left this world after their following of worshipers dwindled away, but some of them have survived into modern times. 
== Origin Story: ==
Originally a race of obscure spirit entities, the Pagan Gods in time learned to draw upon the worship of mortal creatures, developing greater powers and increasing their strength from the pagan religions. In time, they learned to become corporeal and this is how they have survived into modern day. 
== Facts: ==
-When a Pagan God dies, they can reincarnate after enough time has passed. However, they can only do this if the memory of them as the pagan god they pretend to be has persisted in the minds of common men. This is the infuriating thing about Pagan Gods, they exist as much as living memes as they do as Supernatural beings. 
-Pagan Gods exhibit all the powers common to their mythological counterpart. Hercules would have immense strength, Thor would wield a huge hammer of lightning, etc.
-Pagan Gods are not known for their humility. They are often arrogant, haughty and damn annoying. Pagan Gods often come to believe in their own superiority and they will view others as lesser creatures beneath them.
-In corporpereal form, a Pagan God often looks just like a man or woman, but with slight touches to their physiology. A god of darkness would have jet black hair and pale skin, even if they spend hours out in the sun. A god of ice or coldness would always be cold to the touch and never complain about it being too hot. 
-Pagan Gods tend to hang out together since they believe only another 'god' could be their equal. 
-A Pagan God should not be underestimated, they're naturally strong and can wield immense powers. Also, many Pagan Gods build for themselves sizable cults to worship them in the hopes of restoring the immense powers they once had (the modern Pagan Gods are mere shadows of their former selves after their war with the Adepts).
== The Nature Of The Gods: ==
The Pagan Gods exist within a mysterious niche in the grand cosmology of the Adepts of God. They are not God's direct servants and soldiers, as are the Celestials, and yet they do seem to bear some resemblance to the Divine. Pagan Gods were often led by Avatars Of God who frequently founded and led the various Pantheons. 
The Gods seem to act as functionaries within God's grand plan, serving as major figures of authority within the Supernatural world but not quite as high on the totem pole as are the Celestials and Infernals.
