Herd of the Gods (world and characters)
OK since i’ve been posting some of it, Imma word vomit out all the ideas that I have for this world.
All the gods were made at similar times after a “big bang.” The major creator of the gods is still unknown.
Multi gods exists. Each dynasty fight for humanity's worship and gratitude. When gods become forgotten and not worship, they lose their godly power and hide away. Forgotten gods loathe humanity.
Heaven
Elohim
God
Was created and was left alone
When young, he experimented creating things
Wasn't very good at first
Found the greek gods; greek gods took him in
He was mostly raised by Gaia and taught him how to create
His first successful living thing was a throne (ophanim)named Maagel (maa-ghel) that is still his companion.
Helped earth develop and enjoyed watching its progress
Has a love for ungulates
Wanted sheep to rule but was disappointed when primates started to have progress
When humans began to worship gods he got envious and wanted more attention
Hades was a big influence; told him to get followers; was betrayed by Hades and out of rage killed him. The Olympians were angered by this and kicked him out of the family.
Now is at a “turf war” with other gods
Helel
Was the first angel
Was made using part of Elohim’s ichor
Elohim was very proud of this creation
Elohim saw he was too powerful and got nervous
Elohim separated him into two angels named Lucifer and Michael
Michael
One half of Helel
Leader of heaven's army
Keeps a cold front but on the inside, he’s constantly stressed out and anxious
Misses his twin brother, Lucifer
When Lucifer began to rebel, he tries to talk him out of it
Defeated Lucifer in the rebellion
Over time, him and Lucifer have tried to fix their bond

Afraid he doesn't have his father’s approval

Sometimes gets jealous of humans
Gabriel
Laidback
Second created
Loves human watching
Doesn't like being Elohim's messenger, mostly when it's awkward or horrid news or when mortals think he’s some demon or monster
Tries to get out of work so he orders one of his angels to do it
Commits minor sins but not often
Very close to Raphael
Loves ale
He frequently visits one particular tavern; the owner knows he’s an angel and allows him to stay there and drink in exchange for protection
He loves animals and will try to sneak them into the tavern
Misses Lucifer but would never admit it
Raphael
Third created
Honestly the sweetest in Heaven

Hell
Lucifer
The other half of Helel
Didn't like how his Father (Elohim) was running Heaven and treating everyone
Thought he would make a better god
Rebelled but was defeated by Michael
Despite being beaten by Michael, he no longer holds a grudge against him

Probably started Luciferianism and went overboard with it
Took Hell since it was abandoned after Hades’ death; the Main ruler of Hell but has several other demons below him to make sure Hell runs properly
Loves to visit humanity and watch humans
Tends to dabble in human drama
Despite being defeated by Michael, he still cares for him as a brother and consoles him and invites him to torture sinners when Mike is stressed
Writes poetry in his spare time
When he was younger and everyone was getting their job, he was bestowed with knowledge (or light) but he was never able to share with humanity.
This angered him and he would sneak out sharing light here and there.
He would be punished every time he was caught
Haniel

Angel of love, passion, hope, and sexuality
