Gods that don't fit....

[Thebalor]

Well he did kidnap the daughter of the fertility goddess...or godess of spring...whatever. Can't be all that great.

But then again he did let her go for half of each year....

Didn't he do it because eros shot him at the worst time possible?

Keep her for half (evil) let her go for half (good)= neutral. I always viewed all the greek gods as neutral-ish though (doesn't own D&DG so doesn't know what it says)

I always though of Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series as just that sort of unexpectedly nice immortal.

Her, and Death from Terry Pratchett.

Check out the new RPG Nobilis. It is very much along the lines you describe.

Myself, I don't find this angle very interesting. I'm very much of the view that you are what you do.

I like the idea of a mortal accending after Deicide (thats the proper spelling), and then not being fit for the job. This could be the reason for the wars between gods....one wants a position he thinks he would be better at, and tries to take it from someone else.....he just thinks the other god wants the position, and wouldnt trade.

Re: Use a heavenly shoe horn!

You may want to check out Piers Anthony's Incarnation of Immorality series

Hm...actually, FD, you seem to be thinking of the cheap porno spoof of the Incarnations of ImmorTality. You haven't seen Death until you've seen Death as portrayed by Ron Jeremy - and that ain't no scythe!
