Deities

**Deities** (神々, *Kamigami*), are an ancient race that are shown throughout the many worlds, and beyond. They are supernatural beings considered divine or sacred. They are said to have divine, supernatural, legendary, and immensely ultimate power over their domain.

These powerful and ageless beings are commonly worshiped by mortal inhabitants of certain realms. Every deity in a pantheon fills a certain role, such as the God of War or Goddess of Light. Throughout history, they were known by many names and titles.

While there does not appear to be a clear hierarchy among these beings, there are still notable differences in power and significance between them. A male deity is called a "**God**" (神, *Kami*), meanwhile a female deity is called a "**Goddess**" (女神, *Megami*).

"*This world's been around for a long time, long enough that people have created dozens of old stories. But if you believe Ozpin, ten gods are actually real.*"

—Qrow Branwen, About Deities.

## Description

Gods are a species of magical beings that, according to Zancrow, are known to be the strongest among all species in the world, surpassing the previously believed strongest species of Dragons. The fabled Yakuma Eighteen Battle Gods of the extinct Yakuma clan were passed down as 18 different Magics that summon the specific Battle God of its very name. When acquired it gives the caster the ability to utilize it to their discretion depending on the condition of the summoned God. Other Gods, however, are known to appear when an obligation or a certain method has been fulfilled by a person.

### Anatomy and Design

Many deities resemble normal human beings in their physical appearances, with the most prominent examples of this being Palutena and Viridi, while others only retain a humanoid shape, such as Hades and Pyrrhon. The only exception to this rule is Pandora, whose form appears to be a ball of fire—however, this is because she lost her physical form, which resembles a human like Palutena and Viridi do. However, even these humanoid forms are not their true forms, as deities only take on appearances that humans can comprehend.

### Powers and Abilities

They possess many supernatural powers far exceeding those of mortal beings. These include the ability to control the elements, immortality, telepathy, flight bestowal, teleportation, creature transformation, and image projection.

#### Powers

* **Godly Physiology**:
	+ **Immortality**: The ageless and cannot be killed by conventional means. Gods do not age the way a normal human does.
	+ **Immense Strength**: Gods are known to be immensely powerful, to the point of the swing of Ikusa-Tsunagi's sword can cause a crater within the landscape of the terrain.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Most gods seem capable of superhuman feats of durability.
	+ **Hexing**: Some Gods are known to be able to inflict curses upon whomever they choose, with the Black Magic of Ankhseram being known to curse the ones who deliberately contort the balance between life and death.
	+ **Individual Powers**: Additionally, all the gods presumably possess unique individual powers, such as Zeus, who possessed the power of electrokinesis.
	+ **Immense Magic Power**: True to their status, Gods carry supreme Magic Power, to the point that a screech from Chronos, the God of Time, can leave a humongous crater in the terrain; an example of the immense pressure let off from just releasing his aura.

#### Weaknesses

* **Grievous Bodily Harm**: Sufficient damage to a god's body can potentially kill them. During the Gigantomachy, several gods were apparently killed in battle by the Giants.
