But instead of just assigning gods to various generic traits, why not base their characteristics on traditional archetypes and mythemes? Like for example, the Life-Death-Rebirth fertility god (Thammuz, Dionysus, Adonis, Osiris, Jesus), and the Trickster god (Loki, Hermes, Coyote, Raven, Anansi), the Triple Deity (Morrigan, Hecate, the Norns, the Moirai, the Oneiroi) and so on?
Sorry I'm totally stumped on what to do for God of Light. I have a drawing of what he looks like worked out and that's it. What I've come up with just seems like a boring character.
