Deity

Deities were the first beings born into the universe. The first ten created Earth, Gaia, and life on both planets. Even though they are beings of immense power, deities still have and show mortal traits.   When a deity is born, they don't know who or what they are. They usually realize their abilities later in their life. For the first ten, they had all the time in the world. They pondered their existence until their powers came to them.   All deities are equal in power and are born with a special ability. That and when all the deities combine their powers, they're able to do anything. Because of this, deities vote on what to do instead of fighting. For instance, they voted on to create life. Ironically, it was unanimous. The deities have a knack for creating. Above anything else, they treasure their creations.   It's possible for deities to expand their abilities. But, this usually takes long periods of time. The first ten deities were the elements. They experimented and paved a way for the future. Along the way, they've achieved so much and made many mistakes. But, they strive to fix what they have done wrong, well most of them.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Deities are shapeshifters. They can take on any form they desire or feel most comfortable with.

Genetics and Reproduction

Deities can't reproduce. They're only born when they're needed. It's possible to create a deity, but this can result in the deity becoming stronger and uncontrollable than deities that are born. It's also possible for a deity to make a clone of a mortal by taking a part of their essence and mixing it with theirs. This results in a clone that's half mortal and half deity.

Ecology and Habitats

Deities live in their own pocket dimension. Each one is designed by the deity that lives there.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Deities don't need anything to survive.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Deities name themselves after their abilities. They only have a first name.

Major Organizations

The first ten deities formed the 10th.

Beauty Ideals

Beauty is subjective to deities. Since they're able to shapeshift, beauty doesn't matter to them.

Gender Ideals

Deities are technically speaking genderless. They take whatever form they find most comfortable.

Courtship Ideals

Deities consider one another family. They're like brothers and sisters. They also don't date or marry mortals.

Relationship Ideals

Deities love talking with their brothers and sisters.

Average Technological Level

Deities are able to make pocket dimensions and imbue their power into people and objects.

Common Taboos

They have sworn not to interact with the mortal realm. But every deity has broken this rule.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Some look down upon mortals for what they do, while others are amazed. But deep down, all deities care for their creations.
Lifespan
Deities are immortal. It's unknown if a deity can killed.
Average Height
They don't have an average height because they're shapeshifters. That and they all have their most comfortable form.
Average Weight
Since they're able to change their mass, it's impossible to calculate their weight.
Average Physique
Again, this depends on the deity.
