[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8312288, member: 2629"] In my Homebrew, there is a greater god from which everything spark: Ao. He had two children - the Light (The Positive Energy Plane) and the Dark (The Negative Energy Plane). Generally speaking Ao does not interact with anything, and the Light and the Dark do so in a very alien way. They had three children (Bahamut, Tiamat and Vorel, and from them came all other beings over time. After all was said and done, it was discovered that faith could grant power to anything, and if that faith was in something that did not truly exist, that power could manifest in many different ways that conformed to the faith. However, many beings do not believe there to be anything sacred about the Gods - they're just powerful, not special, to them. The result? You can be: [LIST=1] [*]an Atheist (The Gods are nothing but powerful creatures and do not deserve our faith), [*]Agnostic (Not sure if they're just powerful creatures or if they deserve our worship - I don't have all the answers), [*]Monotheistic or Deistic (Ao is the one true God from which all came, even though he does not interact with the world as his descendents do), [*]Duotheistic, (Ao isn't really a being -just the universe itself. The Light and the Dark are the true Gods), [*]Pantheistic Henotheistic or Polytheistic (They're all Gods - but I may align with one), [*]Impersonal Idealistic (Love is my God), or [*]Loosely Animistic (I believe that Meepo the Kobold, a block of cheese, or my ancestors corpses are my Gods).
