Add Deity Field to Generic Tab for characters

We should add a deity field under the generic tab for character articles.
Right now when making a character article, there is a section under the social tab for "Religious Views", and here we can put nice long descriptions if needed of religious views such as:
"John was a devout Christian, he believed in nonviolence, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and curing the sick. He believed that horded wealth was the root of evil and that those who live by the sword, would die by it."
This information is then put into a section of text in the main body of the article. That's great for characters with detailed religious views that are important to them.
What I think would be a good idea would be to put a "Deity" field in the Generic tab, so that you can fill in a character's patron deity, if they have one, and it shows up in the text box in the right, where other simple details show up such as Alignment, Location, Species, DOB, Sex, Eyes, Height, Weight, etc.
I feel this would be beneficial for characters who do have a deity, especially in worlds where most people have a deity, but you don't want to go into super detail on it as it may just be the standard beliefs of those worshippers of that faith. This could also be built into the current article system, where you could choose an existing article for your deities patron, much like you can do with the Ethnicity, Current Location, Current Vehicle, and Family fields under Generic.
Thank you for reading

on 2021-09-03 00:15A deity's sidebar should also show the characters that are followers of their faith, or there should be some other auto-generated table that allows us to track who is a follower of a particular god.

on 2021-08-31 21:26Maybe call it "Related Deity" to avoid confusion with marking that a character is a deity. But otherwise yeah. Also maybe consider allowing multiple deities for characters who serve pantheons or something.

on 2021-08-18 20:37100% Yes. Right now, I'm opting to have my deities be known through snippets placed all about other articles as my players discover them, but when everything's said and done (or just for my own organizational sake) I'd need this.

on 2021-08-16 21:29I think this feature would be amazing! Also, a deity's sidebar should show the characters that are followers of their cult too

on 2021-08-15 21:14Maybe "Faith" and "deity(ies)" could be separate fields with a dropdown allowing for interlinking between followers of a deity and followers/members of a religious organization?

on 2021-08-15 20:51I think "faith" might be better than a singular "deity" field, but otherwise, solid call.
