## Aliases & Titles

Deities are one of the existing group of species in the world of *amoureuse - phobos*. They are told to be the creators of everything and decide the fate of the universe.

## Appearance

Many deities have a very humanoid appearance, being very similar to that of a human. Due to the deities suffering from failed sinnation, most of them possess grotesque appearances when released or disfigurements that reminisce neurosyphilis or gangrene. Some others may appear with elephantiasis. While the body of some deities can be indicative of Proteus syndrome when released, some can also remain normal but possess different limbs. This is seen with Frigg possessing a head resembling that of a stargazer fish with many protrusions and appendages with certain types of eyes attached to their tip. Other than Frigg, some also appear with cyclopia or such forms of nelocephaly. This "release" is called out as **Rebirthing**, not to confuse with attachment therapy.

However, there are many other deities that either have inhuman traits such as multiple eyes or arms, or being beastfolk, to being outright inhumanly grotesque, Lovecraftian horrors, such as Shub-Niggurath or Yog-Sothoth.

## Books

Regardless, while many deities can appear possibly friendly or even gentle, such as Lakshmi, the deities all possess a different mind. By that, it is mentionable that deities are, in actuality, cannibalistic owing to their failed sinnation and are, in most cases, not as they seem. As such, the cases of failed sinnation are extremely common for deities, leading to their appearance dramatically shifting from their formerly "angelic" ones. But, due to not being capable of utilizing sinna, some deities are to be completely stuck in a distorted and inhuman shape of flesh, bones, and appendages. It is to be noted that all and every deities suffer from failed sinnation. However, most are capable of hiding the disfigurements or complete, full-body, grotesque looks.

## Culture

While the intricacies of their culture are unknown, what is known is that the deities focus and pay respect to strength.

### Laws

It is stated that the deities have a constitution, that being the **Æsirlǫg**. This makes clear that in heaven, deities have rights and laws that they must follow. The deities also have courtrooms, meaning that criminals must be prosecuted in order to be convicted. However, the deities have prejudices against Humans, making the legal system flawed.

* Humans who consume the Forbidden Fruit from the tree in the Garden of Eden are banished from the garden.
* Only the deities are allowed to pass through the Bifröst freely. Anyone who is not a deity will be forbidden to return to heaven and will be imprisoned in Helheim for eternity.
* Only deities are allowed to enter Barri. If said law is broken, said person having entered Barri will be forbidden to return to Heaven or Helheim and is to be condemned to imprisonment in Ginnungagap for all eternity.
* If a being of lower stature than 'Deity' enters Himinbjorg, where Bifröst is situated, said being is condemned to death by Heimdall, the Guardian of Bifröst.
* If a human were to enter heaven alive, said human is forbidden to return to heaven as deceased.
* If a being of lower stature than 'deity' were to enter Thrymheim, said being is sentenced to immediate death or imprisonment. Punishment depends over being(s)'s species, rank, occupation.

### Technology

Deities are far more technologically advanced than current human civilization. Even during Ancient Times, the deities had already managed to create devices of wireless transmission. The deities are also a lot more developed in the fields of biology and medicine than humankind.
