Deities

Deities or Gods, are primeval forces of infinite power. They are the most powerful forces in the universe and might be responsible for the creation of the universe itself. Contrary to popular belief, the Abrahamic God is not the only god, but merely one of many supreme beings of power. Although the word "god" can be gender-neutral and applied to either female or male, the gender adapted terms for a male would be known as "god", whereas a female would be called a "goddess".

There are various kinds of Gods and Goddessess with different origins. They vary in cultures in the way of style, character and ability. Most are percieved as all powerful, and benevolent.

Description
Deities are the oldest and most powerful entities in existence. While the origins of divinity remains unknown, it is commonly believed that deities are a primordial race of species who have existed long before the universe was created and will continue to exist long after the universe is destroyed. While gods are depicted in a variety of forms, they are frequently portrayed as having a humanoid shape. However, some faiths and traditions consider it blasphemous to imagine a god as having any concrete form. Nevertheless, almost all deities are believed to be immortal, and are thought to have ultimate knowledge, power and understanding over the universe and all things within it. Deities are also believed to have desires, emotions and intelligence that is comparable, but usually superior, to those of humans.

Powers and Abilities
The gods are supreme beings with a variety of magical powers, such as control of the weather and seas. In addition to their immortality, all gods draw most of their power from their sphere of control or domain, but they all share certain powers, and even abilities specific to their individual domains can sometimes overlap. A case in point is the one of Morpheus and Hypnos who both have control over dreams and sleep.

Gods possess a nearly limitless amount of magical control over their domain, as well as many general powers including levitation, teleportation, telepathy, physical abilities such as strength and stamina which surpasses those of mortals, and manipulating the elements among other vast amounts of control over the world. The limits of a god's power in this regard is unknown, as is to what extent they can cross into the domain of another. They can shapeshift into any form that they desire- even animals, as stated by the myths and the legends.

Gods are almost omnipresent, their presence can be anywhere at once. They can appear in multiple places at once, so long as their domain is being invoked. While not a power per se, deities have greater knowledge than other supernatural beings. Many deities possess incredible knowledge of events and people that many other beings do not know about.
