**The Reincarnated Gods** are the result of what happens when a human is imbued with the godly powers of a deity, thus becoming a god themselves. These powers are almost always distributed by the spirits of the deceased gods, whom in turn act as mentors of a sort.

## History

### Pre-modern day

After the great battle of Ragnarok, the spirits of the deceased gods were sent into an area between space and time known only as the Astral World. In this world, they could do nothing but watch as the newly made Earth moved on around them, flourishing in things like science and technology.

### 1800s

The first documented case of reincarnated gods was in 1801 after the founding of Asmuth. As the remaining Norse gods had all died of old age by this point, no one was left to protect the town against invading Jotnar. So the godly spirits began choosing humans that they felt were worthy of their power. This group of humans fought in a Ragnarok that became known as "The Ragnarok of the 1800s".

While they put up a good fight, they were ultimately unsuccessful and the town was silently inflitrated by the Jotnar.

Reincarnated Gods

## Powers

### Standard Powers

* **Godly Reincarnation Physiology:** Humans who become reincarnated gods develop a litany of supernatural gifts and powers. These powers vary, being much greater in volume with certain godly reincarnations.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Most if not all reincarnated gods possess a level of supernatural strength. This strength can vary between reincarnations, with reincarnations of Thor typically being the strongest ones.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Most reincarnated gods can run at speeds much faster than a regular human. This also can vary between different reincarnations.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Reincarnated gods possess unique stamina and are able to do many tasks for long periods of time, most of which would tire humans out quickly.
	+ **Superhuman Senses**: Reincarnated gods possess senses that exceed those of normal humans.
	+ **Supernatural Longevity**: Due to being reincarnations of Norse deities, godly reincarnations have much longer lifespans and cannot be easily killed.
		- **Supernatural Youth**: Reincarnated gods age slower due to their supernatural longevity.
		- **Supernatural Healing Factor**: Reincarnated gods can heal injuries much faster than humans. The only exceptions for this power are usually reincarnations of Baldr. This is because Baldr is already nigh-invincible.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Godly reincarnations possess far greater durablity, being able to take many hits and only have bruises. It takes a lot of force to actually cut or stab them. Reincarnations of Baldr do not possess this ability.

### Unique Powers

Certain godly reincarnations possess powers unique to their godly spirit. This makes some reincarnations much more powerful than others.

#### Powers of Baldr

* **Supernatural Beauty:** Due to Baldr always being associated with beauty, reincarnations of him become much more visually attractive as a result.
* **Precognitive Dreams:** Reincarnations of Baldr have the ability to glimpse the future through their dreams. This power doesn't start out perfect, resulting in visions that aren't properly refined. It is believed that with proper practice, this power can become much more concrete.
* **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Reincarnations of Baldr cannot be harmed by anything, be it weapons, animals, humans, vehicles, etc. This is due to a spell Frigg had created so that Baldr wouldn't be killed.
* **Photokinesis**: Reincarnations of Baldr are able to magically create and control light itself.
