There is a 'goddess' of Magic.

<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789>

What about a god of wisdom?

@Rtron
I was actually going to ask if my character could be a demi-god turned deity or at least a demi-god. I'm fine with this.

<Snipped quote by Slime>

If Vestec is your father then I will have to kill you at some point. Or make empty threats to.

I wouldn't do it indiscriminately, of course. I did read the OP, though I should read again to make sure I understand it well. And the level of trickery wouldn't be too dangerous, at least not in the eyes of a god. It would be something along the lines of "Oh, you use those plants to make medicine? Here, let me create a variation of it that looks similar but also makes you hallucinate."

@Slime

Or the League of Good guys, Lifprasil, Jvan (debatable), Ilunabar, Niciel, Astarte, and Vestec (also debatable).

And by extension, Teknall, since he hasn't really done anything bad.

@BBeast
Thanks for the links. Man, this system seems very complicated. I'll try not to mess something up when making my character.

• Avoid picking the same concept as another active player character (check the character tab). You mentioned a trickster, which should be fine as the other trickster characters have disappeared.
• The current setting is the early Bronze Age, with some parts of the world still in the Stone Age. Make sure you don't design your character to be too advanced.
• The focus of this roleplay is more on making a cool story than 'winning'.

I have asked this question many times and it has been explained just was well. To my knowledge, leveling up into a god only applies to Amartía since he has a godly soul, and even that is a stretch. The rest of you halfings must squirm.

@Kho, am I dead?

And I'm done with my character. Tell me if I got something wrong.

Character Sheet [+]

Name: Helvana

Alias: Mother of Crows; Corvian Witch.

Gender: Female.

Domain (Portfolio): Darkness (Influence)

Domain (Portfolio) Description: Darkness, contrary to what is commonly believed, is not simple absence of light, but rather its opposite, much like the other side of a coin. Darkness in its purest state can take form and attain consistency, be it soft and malleable or hard. On its own, however, the forms it can take are limited and rely on other Domains to assume other forms. While light can be measured in intensity, pure darkness is measured in thickness and can only be dispersed by light of greater intensity.

There's no better way than to cause misfortune without being noticed than by influencing fate through curses and hexes, and thus Helvana makes this her main method of operations. She specializes in influences that bring strong and imediate effects since she won't afford to wait and see some villager lose half of his crops over the course of weeks, but she'll stick around to see him trip and break something. Alternatively, she can also influence the fate of others to bring them luck in order for them to pull through their ordeals.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.

Personality: Helvana is a trickster, pure and simple and enjoys causing trouble and watching as things develop. She's smug, sadistic, proud and impossible to break, even if she was about to die she'd still display a grin to the very end. Causing misfortune isn't all that she does, however, and if she were to meet someone in need, she wouldn't even think about harming them and would instead take pity on them, but she'll never admit to being a good person. She goes out of her way when she helps others, so if someone were to harm those she care for she'd be very personal about her revenge.

Helvana's also disrespectful, or indifferent, towards anyone and couldn't give a damn whether she's talking to a great hero or a god. The one thing she treats with care are her pet crows and doesn't associate with others due to that, but if she were to find someone or something that pikes her interest, then she'll also treat them with care.

She covers her body with garbs and a mask she fashioned after her cute pets as she thinks little of mortals and would only deign to show her face to one if they're worthy of her respect. She's indifferent to showing her face to other gods or demi-gods, though.

In truth, she feels devoid of a purpose and tries to fill that with entertainment and games. She doesn't know why she even takes pity on some people even if they're nothing but lowly creatures, but she feels oddly joyous about it.

Appearance:

Hider [+]

Crow Feather Coat and Mask [+]

She also takes the form of a crow whenever she flies or when she spies of unsuspecting people. Although she knows it won't affect those with great power, she'll almost always be surrounded by her murder of crows, so unless they can tell which of the crows is Helvana, she already has an edge over them. She can still speak in this form.

Description: Somewhat of a walking paradox, one wouldn't know if they should fear or admire Helvana. In one hand she could ruin someone's life in a heart beat, but on the other she could save someone just as fast. Consider yourself blessed if she cares for you, but if you anger the Corvian Witch, beware the black feathers.

Concealment Level: 1.
Detection Level: 1.

@poog the pig
Does Vestec help people? And by help I don't mean mercy killing. Then again, I was told that my character would be one of his children, so like father like daughter?
