That stuff strips pant dude , I stopped using it because I could get my pieces as clean with slightly more effort but was less caustic chemicals . Shouldn ' t matter too much but just a heads up . <| sep |> You shouldn ' t have a horse if you can ' t take care of it properly , but since we ' re going the arrest route , maybe you should arrest those who shouldn ' t have kids that they can ' t take care of . <| sep |> Which is logical , otherwise they would be a btc dollar exchange without fees . <| sep |> Or like if one alvacado had sex with an older alvacado <| sep |> 35 more minutes from now I guess . <| sep |> An idea I ' ve toyed with is to not actually answer the question whether or not Mortals make Deities or if they just discover them , or rather having it be a bit of both . Gods exist and have powers , everybody knows that . What powers they have however depends less on any intricate abilities and more on what their worshipers ask them to be , through the power of Faith . For example , you have a Goddess of Water . She ' s got power over oceans , liquids , rain , and all of those things . As such she gains more and more followers among the sailors , and over time becomes less a goddess of general Water and more a goddess of the Sea in particular . This also starts to include ocean winds and storms , since this falls under the Sea purview as compared to its absence under the Water purview . So , she ' s now a Goddess of the Sea . As society progress her status never really wavers , she ' s the rather undisputed Goddess of the Sea in this part of the world if nothing else and as such most every sailor gives her praise before heading off . However , other people who ' re dependent on the sea and sailing starts asking for her boon Merchants ! They ask her to look over the ships so their cargo arrive safely , they ask her for favourful winds so their cargo arrives quickly , they ask for storms to occur to rivals so that their ships sinks , etc . Over times she becomes less a Goddess of the Sea and more a Goddess of Commerce , since it is her merchants , sailors , traders and all kinds of seafaring folk gives praise before heading off . As she progresses between these three stages Water , the Sea , Commerce her attitude changes equally . She begins as a young and joyful goddess of Water , carefree and almost whimsical . Over time she starts maturing and turning more and more to the bountiful beauty of her Sea , and finally she becomes a thrifty and ambitious goddess over the Commerce that flows upon it . In short I ' m imagining some mix between A , B and D . Deities are , but what they do depend much more on what the mortals ask them to do than any intricate Power within the deities themselves . As to numbers I personally imagine more than three , and if there are only three I at least imagine them to be much more diverse than your names make them out to be . Remember that there is generally a deity for each subject the mortals could need a deity for , and if not they just start worshipping whoever or whatever starts granting them the boons they need . Maybe this could give birth to new deities ?
