[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 9057470, member: 83242"] Just a heads up regarding Overgods in my setting. Overgods (Hierarchs), like Ao, are some of the most powerful beings in existence. They are rank 6 Ascended and have vast powers. Generally speaking they are the ultimate beigns in their Sphere of Authority. FYI, [TABLE] [TR] [TH]DIVINE RANK[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Demigods (AR 1 - Initiate) [LIST] [*]Demigods have close ties to mortals and spend a lot of time in mortal realms working to build their renown and worship. [*]The weakest deities, demigods are much more vulnerable and the only deities that have much fear of truly dying. [*]The vast majority of ascended mortals only make it to demigod status [*]Demigods typically have between 0 to 100,000 worshipers. [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Lesser Deities (AR 2 - Temporal) [LIST] [*]Deities of this rank have either joined a pantheon or established an independent dominion of their own. [*]Lesser deities are often considered the first rank of true deities. [*]Many gods become complacent at this rank and this is the resting place for most mortals who manage to ascend to godhood. [*]Lesser deities typically have between 100,000 to 1,000,000 worshipers. [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Intermediate Deities (AR 3 - Celestial) [LIST] [*]Intermediate deities hold positions of authority and power in their pantheons. [*]Intermediate deities can command demigods and lesser gods to perform task for the pantheon and even personal projects. [*]A few ascended mortals have managed to make it to the ranks of the intermediate deities, but they number less than 100. [*]Intermediate deities typically have between 1,000,00,000 to 10,000,000 worshipers [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Greater Deities (AR 4 - Empyreal) [LIST] [*]Deities of this rank comprise the leaders and rulers of their pantheons. [*]Greater deities are incredibly powerful and the heads of pantheons almost always come from their ranks. [*]No mortals have ever ascended to this stature. [*]Greater deities typically have between 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 worshipers or more. [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Elder Deities (AR 5 - Eternal) [LIST] [*]Deities of this rank existed at the beginning, springing from the raw Aether of the initial creation. [*]Elder deities have generally left the activities of a pantheon behind and almost exclusively explore their own projects. [*]The deity of this stature generally no longer concerns itself with mortal worshipers and any mortal followers it had generally decline tenfold for each century it neglects its following. [*]Instead elder deities create bonds with other Ascended and these bonded can number between 1 to 100. Typically the majority of an Elder deities bonded hail from the pantheon it started with and they can call on the elder deity in times of great need. [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Over Deities (AR 6 - Hierarch) [LIST] [*]Deities of this rank were the leaders of the Beginning. They are the ultimate arbiters of Authority within their Sphere. [*]There are only ten over deities in all of existence. One leader and one apprentice for each of the Authorities. [*]Over deities can be stewards of multiple pantheons and act in a similar position to their pantheons that lesser gods do to mortals. [*]Over deities are bonded with 100 or more other Ascended. [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] However, there are other beings of similar power to hierarchs (overgods) and at least one of greater power. [/QUOTE]
