There’re may god ranks in the god society. The ranks are rank from the most powerful god to the weakest

## Diving Ranking

The Divine Ranking System can be use to measure a god’s limitations and status with others. However this can cause unnecessary conflicts of interest and too much focus put on which deity is better than others. This can cause an outbreak of a war or battle to determine which god is better.

**Rank 0, Hero Deities**: These deity were once a mortal that has ascended to godhood either through a divinity trial, divine approval, becoming one via worship years after death or merely even being the child of a deity who mated with a mortal. Typically, they’ve little to no power and most don’t even possess a domain of their own and are servants of greater gods. These deities will still visit mortals and will even fight alongside them in battle if need be.

**Ranks 1, Demi-Deities**: The Demigods or Demigoddesses are more often than not either nature deities that still live on (or visit frequently) that mortal plane and take on forms that are very well known to the mortals whether it be that of an animal, artifact, tree, or even natural structure such as a river or mountain. Demi-Deities seem to be worshiped the most by druids. Although higher ranking deities can be nature deities, it is the demi-deities that more immediately live with mortals or must live their because it is the entire purpose of their existence. A Demi-Deity could also be a deity that is the child of higher ranking gods that possesses far less powers than they do, typically after many generations of divine breeding.

**Ranks 2, Lesser Deities**: These deities tend to be first generation children of higher ranking deities and either possess domains that relate to more archetypal ideas of mortals that affect them such as War, Love, Greed, or other base emotions and ideas.

**Ranks 3, Intermediate Deities**: These Deities are important deities that control higher natural processes and typically watch over higher domains and care more about the natural order of the physical world and are usually the parents of the lesser deities and grandparents to demi-deities. These deities will rule over the Sun, Moon, Stars, or even entire landscapes rather than specific ones such as the Ocean or Desert. They can also be gods of Fertility and represent masses of people. Many of these deities have mass religious groups and are the leaders of some pantheons. It is possible that Intermediate Deities have children that are also Intermediate Deities as well or even ones that surpass them.

**Ranks 4, High Deities**: High Deities are typically heads of pantheons and very well known. Some may even be credited as creator deities or are seen of extreme importance. Typically the domains of these deities are ones that supersede that of mortals and instead are archetypal principles that mortals either have no control over or that only affects them indirectly. Such domains can include Law, Chaos, Death, Time, Void, and other abstract archetypes.

**Ranks 5, Mythic Deities**: These grand deities have crossed a threshold that no longer pertains to the affairs of mortality and are seen as beings beyond normal mortal comprehension although at this point are still understood by the other deities. Deities on the Mythic may or may not still care about morals and may still interact with the other deities and are still aware that mortals exist but care little for them.

**Ranks 6, Great Ones**: The classification is titled as "Great Ones" as they are at a threshold that may not even truly be identified as Deity anymore except for lacking better definitions. These beings may or may not be aware of the existence of mortals depending on the being but view deities lesser than them in the same light that deities view mortals. They are aware of the existence of the other gods but care very little for them. These beings rule over entire galaxies and can create and destroy them on whim along with other deities.

**Ranks 7, Elder Ones**: At this point the deities are not even aware of the existence of mortals and may or may not be aware of the lower deities. These beings preside over entire sections of space and may accidentally create other gods. Event the lowers gods cannot fully comprehend these beings.

**Ranks 8, Ancient Ones**: The Ancient Ones are the immediate presiding beings following after creation. They preside over entire universes and can create and destroy them on whim. It is unsure what exactly exists here.

**Rank 9, Primal Creators**: The Primal Creators are the beings that create and destroy entire multiverses or groups of them create them together. They probably are entirely unaware of the beings that exist within them including the deities of any rank within. They are the sources of creation.

For most of her life, she had spent growing up in that village but after her “mother” died, her “father” moved to Chiniueru tani meaning “Bloodlust Valley” to start work. When Shirayuri was 9, her “father” moved to Shisha no tani meaning “Valley of the Dead”. After living in that village for

peaceful life, blending in and acting like humans to gain their trust. When over the age of 100+ years old, she was crowned queen of gods. Years later, one snowy winter’s night, she transformed into a child due to being chased by humans and was found by Kaname Kuran who got suspicions at first but then took her in to the Hooded Woman for treatment.

her daughter, aged 9, witnessed Kaname killed her. In addition to that event, Ai was furious and pledge a vow in her blood that she would hunt Kaname and kill him when the time is right.

Ai grew up to be exactly like her mother in appearance and personality, when over the age of 100+, she was crowned queen of gods and married to the heir of the Kunisaki family, Kenzo Kunisaki.

During their reign, Kamiko and Haruka had a daughter named Himiko who was kept inside for most of her life dur to Kaname and the hooded woman. Years later, when Himiko was 7, her mother died of an unknown disease over the age of 2000+ whilst giving birth to a son, Kazuto.

and don't misuse their status but there's an exception. It's also notable that they inter-marry, more commonly known as incest. Siblings usually marry each other and the chain continues. Nevertheless, there are exceptions; Rido was engaged to Shizuka Hio, a Royals from another family. The Kurans were royalty until three generations ago when the last King of the Kurans, Yuki's grandfather, created the God Council as a system which allowed gods to continue existing and maintain balance between gods and humans. The King's wish for peace also lived on in two of the youngest children who both associated with humans and wished for peace between the races.

Other gods respect them and call them "-sama" which is a Japanese honorific that means the one who calls someone like that respects the person very much.

## Royals

Royals are the highest rank amongst gods and are consider gods of the heavenly world with significant powers over the turned gods. They’re the offspring with their blood remaining pure without any human contamination.

Royals possess a series of unique powers, often exclusive only to the certain royal family.

There are seven royal families; Ishikawa, Murakami, Nishimura, Ono, Isaya, Sakurazaka and Shimotsuki.

How did gods came to be?

The first ancestor was Tokikaze Kataru who was born at the start of Yuyori period, Japan.

### Powers

The full extent of Royals’ powers is only known amongst their Royals and thus, their true powers remain a mystery to everyone. They’ve timeless beauty that stop aging around their early teens or late teens and maintain their youthful appearance regardless of time. They’re immortal unless an anti-god weapon is used to cut off their heads or pierce their hearts. Any other injury is healable, including having one's head cut off, if a Royal uses the blood of another Royal to heal them. However, the Bloodline of the Shimotsuki Family remains a mystery to the Royals and to others.

It’s heavily implied that each god has a unique power. Their blood is highly prized and many have attempted to drink their blood, this includes both humans and supernatural creatures. Aside from the standard powers shown by other gods, Royals have also demonstrated the following:

v  They can form shadow puppets aka spies using parts of their flesh which are capable of shape shifting. Thus, creating a living being without a soul but can dispose of them.

v  Powers to perform spells to seal off the god side of gods, thus making them a human. The spell also erases all his/her memories of being a god. However, this spell comes at the price of their life. (the god that was converted to human eventually must return to his/her true nature and if not, he/she descends into madness and must be killed)

v  Ability to control lower gods physically or/and mentally but this is proven not to work on some lowers. This can also control other Royals and Nobles if they’re expose due to being weak minded, fragile body, etc.

v  Ability to turn humans into gods and retain complete control over them by becoming their master/mistress, rendering the god unable to kill them.

v  Royals can possess the ability to turn humans into god by draining their blood and life energy into the human. However, the chance of a human to turn into a god is 0.5% and if it does succeed, the Royal who performed this will die if they’re not strong will and cable of surviving. Only two of them have this ability and can do this without dying.

v  The Shimotsuki family is unique among Royals as some members of their family possess and display the ability to handle anti-god weapons.

Relationships between Royals

Royals show no emotions nor feelings while others show them and are wary of other Royals. Their nature expect for the Shimotsuki family is an eternal quench for power by killing and drinking the blood of another Royal which they can absorb their power. However, this prohibited to summon a sinister future upon that Royal. These gods can only have their thirst quenched by the blood of their mate but since Royals live for eternity, losing their mate is much more devastating for them as well for their satisfying thirst but in rare cases, Royals can have their thirst quenched by the blood of their loved ones of their family if their bond is shared closely. It’s also noted that the Shimotsuki family have members which their blood is deluxe for other Royals, gods, demons, yokai and humans alike.

It’s also common for Royals’ siblings to marry each other to preserve their thick blood and is extremely rare for Royals to marry a Noble.

## Relationships between Royals and other gods

Relations between the Royals and the Nobles are mixed. Noble who are Pro-Monarchy have a strong sense of loyalty to Royals who refer to them as -sama (respectful and formal Japanese term) and always protects the heir of a Royals family. It’s extremely important for Royals to continue their bloodline therefor, many Noble children are put forward as potential wives or husbands. Whereas other gods who are Pro-God Council view the Royals as a threat because of their great power. However, no matter what a gods political views are, all have a seemingly instinctual fear and awe for Royals.

## The Shimotsuki family

One of the first Royals families are the Shimotsuki family which are dated back to the Yuyori period, Japan. This family is royalty that are greatly respected in God society, Demon society, Yokai society and Human society no matter what they do and is one of the Royals families but they’re hidden.
