--General Information--
✦ Divinity
The ability to control and bypass the laws that the world abides by. The gods are able to give this power to their most loyal subjects in exchange for them becoming an incarnate or their apostles.
✦ Apostles & Incarnates
Apostles are humans who receive divine power from a god. In return, they serve that god. Their main role is to spread belief in the god who granted them power. The more people who believe in that god, the stronger the apostle becomes. Apostles keep control over their bodies and minds, but their strength depends entirely on how much belief they generate.
Incarnates are humans chosen to act as a vessel for a god. They are stronger than apostles from the beginning. However, the god can take control of their body at any time. A human body cannot endure divine power for long, so incarnates have a limited lifespan. If the god remains inside the body for too long, the incarnate will die, and the body may be destroyed.
✦ Gods
Neutral beings, who don't and can't reside in the mortal world.
✦ Demi-Gods
Demi-Gods are beings born with divinity who remain in the mortal realm by choice.Their power doesn't come from gods but themselves.
✦ Fallen
An intelligent race that was thrown away by the gods, and now wishes to make humanity cease to exist.
