.Gods.
These are the supreme beings of the world. Perfectly immortal, with only others of their kind being their weakness. However, there have been cases in which Gods have been slain by lower species, but upon such an event, the God or Goddess is reborn shortly after—a few months to a few years later. They each hold their own special power which can be used to influence lesser beings, but only to an extent. Gods and Goddesses can only influence lesser beings if they are already being affected by a certain emotion, event, or current condition. Some, cannot control lesser beings at all, but weather conditions or natural disasters. It all depends on the type of God or Goddess. On top of this, Gods and Goddesses can take any form they wish—within bounds. Animals associated with their power, a male form, and a female form. Yes, they are androgynous, meaning they have no set gender and can switch between them at will. However, their features are still similar between the two forms and cannot take the form of another being. Although many Gods and Goddesses set up relationships with each other, monogamy is not very common in their world. Because the Gods and Goddesses do not want to give away their powers willy-nilly, they hide themselves amongst the mortals of earth even going so far as to change their names in order to hide themselves. Only those that try their hardest to seek out the Gods and Goddesses are granted their powers.
