Deities

== Description ==
Highly sapient Spirits, Deities were never mortal though some may have been able to take on a mortal appearance in the physical world for a short amount of time. Deities do not usually bind themselves to a particular location or object, but to a group of people. Depending on the nature of the Deity, they may draw their power from their worshippers as it is through their worshippers that their need for their brand of energy is met. If it is a war-like Deity, then they may have preferred barbaric sacrifices of flesh and carnage. A Deity that favors wisdom may seek an intelligent servant that may enjoy leaving offerings of incense, prayers and books. The more they have, the more powerful they become. Most Deities today, while still powerful, do not maintain the same authority they once had due to the shrinking of their collective worshipper pool, but are still more powerful than most Spirits. Deities can be called upon for protection or aid in exchange for something of value such as a sacrifice or offering. Much like humans, however, Deities each exhibit their own personalities and preferences, and are often moulded by the beliefs of the culture from which they originate. It is wise to be well-educated on whichever Deity you are seeking counsel from so as not to arouse aggravation or worse. Examples of Deities include Yahweh, the Christian God, Anubis, the Egyptian God of Death, and Iktomi, the great Lakota spider-trickster Spirit.
   It is rare in the modern age that a Deity will choose to manifest itself in the physical world for long periods of time. Many speak through their worshippers in subtle ways such as dreams and on occasion, visions, and will linger in areas where their interests are strong for it is the passion of mortal men that keeps them in existence.
Bones: 8-12 depending on the Deity. Older Deities tend to have more Bones as they are more powerful.
