1. What is your character? Where are they from?
Rthignynt was once a mold living deep within the Mwangi Jungle. The mold was content to feast on whatever it could find on the jungle floor until a primitive tribe stumbled upon the mold. They began to worship the mold as their “Green God” and the tribe’s shamans offered prayers to their god, whom they named Rthignynt. The tribe offered sacrifices, sometimes willingly giving themselves over and sometimes offering captured adventurers. All this to keep their god happy. Over time the spark of divinity began to glow inside Rthignynt and with that, came the memories and knowledge from each being that Rthignynt had consumed. With this came a greater understanding of all things and a desire to be free of the tribe. Rthignynt discovered that by focusing on the memories of each individual it could take the form of creature, though it would lose its shape in a matter of minutes and revert to a green mold. To counteract this, Rthignynt moves its focus from one creature to the next. The result is a being that takes the form of a man only to have decay and regrow into a beast and then into a woman. Ever reflecting the nature of life, death, and rebirth.
The shamans began preaching of a day when their god would leave their tribe and called for the bravest of the warrior to help imprison Rthignynt. The warriors were unable to contain their god and Rthignynt fled the jungle in search of a way to return to the First World.

Obedience: Bury a recently killed creature and plant seeds in the soil covering the body. Meditate on the importance of death to life. If no creature is available, uncooked meat may be used as a substitute. Once per day, when you make a saving throw to resist a disease you may a single reroll. The reroll may be made after the initial save is made but before the result is revealed. You must take the second result even if it is worse.

Rthignynt believes that all things must live and die for new life to be created. Death is not to be feared as it simply a way for the self to transition into a new state of being, one with new thoughts and memories.

3. What does your character look like?
Rthignynt’s true form is that of a large, green mold. However, it maintains a constant flux of various forms as it grows, decays, and regrows into a new body.

4. How did your character become a demigod?
Rthignynt became a demigod after hundreds of years of feasting and being worshipped.

5. Where does your character live?
After having found passage to The First World, Rthignynt would have found a small patch of The First World to keep to itself. Rthignynt spends much of his time on the material plane as the inability of fey creatures to die as long as they are on the First World causes The Shifting decay to grow bored.

1. Where in the verse is your cult centered?
Forests, jungles, swamps. Even the occasional sewer or slums. Places where the natural cycle of all living things can be witnessed.

2. What sorts of people worship you?
Rthignynt’s cult attracts people of many backgrounds and, more importantly, morals. While there are definitely those who follow more unscrupulous methods (e.g. necromancers or assassins that favor poisons) there are those drawn to the cult who seek to cultivate new life. Blight Druids that seek to heal ravaged lands or foster the rot and alchemist seeking new methods to utilize mutagens are among Rthignynt’s followers. Farmers may worship The Shifting Growth after planting the season’s crops.

1. Write up any relationships that you have, either with other submissions or with existing divine or non-divine characters in the Great Beyond.

Rthignynt looks to both Nethys and Pharasma for inspiration and guidance. To Rth, Nethys presents the ideal vision of what can come from obtaining and using knowledge. Members of the Molded One’s cult have been known to join forces with members of the Gray Lady’s in an effort to destroy undead. Though heralds of the Lady of Graves maintain loose, working relationships with Rthignynt, it is uncertain whether of not Pharasma is actually aware of his existence.

Soon after first traversing the planes, the Molded One came in contact with one of the cruel fiends known as Kytons. Rather than kill its prey for food or sport, the Kyton revelled in the fear and suffering of its victim. Viewing the act as an unnatural extension of a death that should have ended swiftly, Rthignynt interfered and slew the Kyton. This unnamed Kyton remains as the only of the fiends Rthignynt has consumed, as the Kyton’s warped thoughts and memories caused the Molded One intense anguish.

Rthignynt has been known to keep the company of a few fey or plant creatures. Among these are a Fastachee named Grayne and a Polevik named Letus. It is not uncommon to come across a gift of Grasslings while approaching the Molded One's domain in The First World either.

Currently, the largest center of worship for Rthignynt is lead by a Boruta. Though Borutas typically avoid other sentient creatures, the one located in the Molded One's cult does so out of respect and a budding friendship. So long as the cultists provide more than they take, the Boruta is content to allow them to come and go.

1. Who is your character? Where are they from?
Calxakti was, long ago, a wandering soothsayer in the fledgeling nation of Razatlan in southern Arcadia. He travelled the lands, dreaming of the future for those who wished to know what their fate held in store, helping the countless small communities to fight threats that might come their way. As his abilities grew stronger, his dream-visions more accurate, some even began to revere him as, if not a god, at least a conduit to greater powers. It was in one of these dreams where he found himself in the Dimension of Dreams, and gained mythic power after a series of trials. With that, his faith began, and people came to truly worship him as the Midnight Mystic, a god of prophecy, dreams, and community. As his worship increased, so too did his mythic power and prestige among the people of Arcadia. He met with the god-kings of Kab’xal and Xibantej, even conferred with the herald of mighty Kazutal. It seemed that with time, Arcadia might gain a new demigod. That was, until the death of Aroden. Prophecy, the cornerstone of Calxakti’s faith and a part of his very being, was shattered, ripped away. It drove him utterly and totally insane, and crippled his burgeoning cult.
2.What is your character's portfolio?
Calxakti concerns himself with the countless unfulfilled prophecies left in the wake of Aroden’s death. His nature was somewhat corrupted by the end of prophecy which extended to the other parts of his faith. Dreams twisted to nightmares, and his priests, formerly village seers, withdrew to become mad hermits. And so the Midnight Mystic became the Sightless Prophet as his world fell to ashes.
Alignment: CN
Areas of Concern: Unfulfilled prophecy, nightmares, solitude
Domains: Madness, Prophecy, Void
Subdomains: Nightmare, Isolation
Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff
Symbol: Stone eye broken in two
Sacred Animal: Mole
Sacred Colors: Black, sky blue
3. What does your character look like?
Before he fell to madness, Calxakti appeared as a handsome Arcadian man just bordering on middle age dressed in a garment of feathers and intricately designed threadwork. Though still an Arcadian man, he is old and decrepit, hunched over a walking stick. His dress is worn and tattered, and his eyes are clouded and blind.
4. How did your character become a demigod?
On one of his dream-visions, Calxakti found himself in a corner of the Dimension of Dreams, a ruined stone circle on a cold mountaintop. For a time, he was content to sit until a being that identified itself only as the Wanderer approached him, offering incredible power in return for a series of tasks. Though his tales of the tasks are confusing at best, and his memories of them even more fragmented that most, he speaks of ”consuming the jaguar which consumes the world” and ”seeing the sightless stars.”
5. Where does your character live?
Calxakti inhabits the remote and overgrown temple complex that was once the center of his faith in Razatlan. His few servitors live there with him, and the mad souls that worship him will occasionally make pilgrimages to it.

1. Where in the verse is your cult centered?
Calxakti’s cult is found in a few places. In Razatlan, his faith is one of the mad and the disaffected, a god one turns to when they’re out of options in hope of some strange insight or a brief return of his oracular powers. In Avistan, his cult has cropped up with an unusual organization, the Harbingers of Fate. After the last prophecy did not occur, they descended into desperation. One of their members even booked passage to distant Arcadia in hopes of finding some respite. Calxakti seemed to be that respite. His portfolio of the desperation of unfulfilled prophecy easily meshed with the beliefs of the Harbingers.
2. What sorts of people worship you?
Calxakti is often worshipped by lone, mad hermits and those in desperate need of knowledge of the future. Indeed, Calxakti remembers many of the cosmic truths that he learned when he retained his sanity, and those truths are often sought out by those who seek knowledge. Though his prices are odd and often steep, they are always fair.

As soon as you awaken, ruminate on your dreams or nightmares and how they may pertain to your day ahead. If they would suggest any specific action, try your hardest to avoid it. You gain a +1 sacred or profane bonus versus mind-affecting effects.

Calxakti’s closest relationship is with the goddess Kazutal. Before Aroden’s death, she served as something of a mentor to him. Though he is much different from the stable, kindly god he was, they still regard each other as somewhat estranged friends.

Calxakti has an odd relationship with Avram, Amnon, and to a lesser degree Nestellbam. In some respects, he despises Aroden for dying and ruining what he was, and that distaste rather extends to his descendants. At the same time, he revels in his new freedom that Aroden’s death brought him.

Though he has no tremendous love for the goodly powers of the multiverse, he dislikes evil outsiders as a holdover from earlier days, especially despising demons. One exception to this is the bat god Camazotz, due to their proximity and shared interest in strange knowledge.

1. What is your character? Where are they from? Priella has a very ordinary background as a human woman from Golarian. Nothing fancy and nothing wild.

2. What is your character's portfolio?
Description: Priella's portfolio revolves entirely around change for its own purpose. Some of the changes she enacts are beneficial, some are not, but everywhere she applies herself ends up completely different than it was in one aspect or another.
Alignment: CN
Areas of Concern: Change, Unpredictability, and Whimsy
Domains Chaos, Knowledge, Luck, Madness, Trickery
Subdomains: Deception, Entropy, Imagination, Innuendo, Insanity, Memory, Nightmare, Protean, Riot, Thought, Whimsy
Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff
Symbol: A eye with a triangular pupil
Sacred Animal: Aphid
Sacred Color: White
Obedience: Focus on an urge that you did not fulfill. If the urge was to do something that can be changed immediately, do it. This could be something as small as rearranging the dishes in your kitchen or as big as changing your profession or lover. If the urge was something that can no longer be acted on immediately, meditate on how doing so would have affected you and those around you.
Gain a +4 sacred bonus against confusion and domination effects.
NOTES/EXPLANATION:
- A Quarterstaff can be used as a weapon, a support, a tool, or any number of other things and as such is the most changeable weapon.
- The aphid has as many as 8 different forms throughout its lifespan. The connection should be obvious. If you don't want to get that specific, then it would just be any insect that undergoes metamorphosis.
- White is the color that is hardest to keep from changing. It is the easiest to dye, and also will change colors simply from use as it encounters dirt or other influences. No other color is more mutable.

3. What does your character look like? Priella looks like an average human woman, but with her features constantly changing. Her eye color, hair, skin tone, and other cosmetic physical features are always in flux. As she faces different tasks and challenges, her body (height/weight/musculature/etc) morphs relative to what is needed and/or which entity is channeling through her...although sometimes the form is exactly the opposite of what one would think was needed, it always somehow works out.

4. How did your character become a demigod? She was a common adventuring oracle, who channeled the power of the Old Ones/Elder Gods. As she grew in power she began to dabble in the occult, augmenting her divine abilities by channeling different entities. Over time she began to channel stronger beings, and the "divine" alien patrons who worked through her began to awaken to the myriad strengths that were now present in her. One fateful day she tried to channel multiple entities simultaneously, but her strength of will was not enough to control them all and instead they took over. She became a vessel for all of the occult entities at once, with only a scrap of her mortal self still in residence. The possibilities inherent in this situation amused the elder ones, who kneaded all of these consciousnesses together into one being, with none of them having control. Priella herself often stands in the forefront in order to interact with the world, but she does not have full control over her whims, which force is driving her, or how it may make her act at any given time. She is kind of an accidental demigod who does not really understand why people are worshiping her but enjoys the attention nonetheless.

5. Where does your character live? Priella still resides on the material plane where her physical body originated. Her always present desire to implement change leads her to constantly travel. Although her travels always have some goal or intent, she follows a drive that she does not always understand which has her searching for things that she "feels" need to be changed. These things could be as be as mundane as a farmer that she feels needs to change professions to goals as lofty and bringing down long standing governments that are too rigid for her tastes. Although she has a decent amount of control, she never knows exactly where she will be drawn after each task, or what the urges will drive her to change once she is there.

6. Relationships:
EXISTING PANTHEON
Priella has no true mentor as all of the existing deities have an overarching goal, whereas her goals are always mutating as she travels. Most of the deities are outside of her scope and she pays no attention to them with the following exceptions:
- The Old Ones or Elder Gods are her greatest influence, mostly because of the way they act through her. Their desires are alien enough that she does not understand them or know whether they are allies or rivals, but she revels in the always confusing actions that they take. Hastur's dreams and Xhamen-Dor's transformation are the two that speak to her the strongest.
- Among the core pantheon, she admires Gozreh the most and sees him as an ally, as the seas and weather are always changing and unpredictable, and are always affecting change on the things that they touch. She admires the effect that his domain has on the physical world.
- Her relationship with Desna and Calistria is friendly, as she respects Desna's sense of freedom and travel, and as lust is a force that commonly causes changes, she admires this aspect of Calistria's domain.
- Although she does not have much respect for most of Urgathoa's domain, she looks up to the goddess, out of respect that she was the first to refuse to be judged by Pharasma, returning as undead and forever changing how things could be after death.
- She generally sees any Lawful deity as a rival, as being bound by laws is the antithesis of change, but she especially despises Asmodeus the god of contracts, and Lissala who promotes obedience.
OTHER SUBMISSIONS
- She sees Saint Ulliaza as a peer and ally as she promotes similar goals, but would prefer her to be less single-minded about the end goal of her revolutions.
- Rednal's character is to be respected as magic and miracles are strong instruments of change, especially as he does not regulate how they are used. His strict regulation of transactions makes her pause.
- Rthignynt's flux amuses and delights her, but she does not fully understand him and as such he is to be watched carefully.
- Understanding history is important as a record of change, and Amnon's physical transformations excite her, and she would consider him a friend if they met.
- The other submissions all have at least one aspect that she enjoys and one that she does not. As such she is relatively neutral to all of them.

THE CULT:

1. Where in the verse is your cult centered? Priella's cult is as formless as she is. There is a core group of followers that travel in her wake, seeking the experience of watching her work and reveling in the stranger changes she might leave behind. There are also groups of followers that remain in place, grouping in areas where her effect has been felt most strongly, and there are solo adherents who travel the world in her image seeking to enact their own changes.

2. What sorts of people worship you? Most of her followers are people who feel the need for change themselves. This can include people who research new forms of alchemy or magic, dissidents who are not happy with their current lives and structure, and often simply lunatics. There are also those common folk whose lives she has personally affected in a beneficial way who worship her simply as a personal savior who improved their lives.

3. If your character has one, please describe your character's herald. TBD I feel that she would have one. It would have originally been the "leader" of the group that actively follows her...but I am still unsure exactly who it would be.

1. What is your character? Where are they from?
Alithea grew up in Nex as a zealous devotee of Nethys. She served on an research team tasked with finding new types of weaponized magic. After some of her team's experiments led to a release of a massive amount of magical energy, Alithea tried her best to contain the energy, being the most skilled abjurer in the cult, but several of the members of the cult, and innocent bystanders were killed. This catastrophe, helped redefine Alithea's understanding of magic, that it can be devious and dangerous, and that it must be treated with great caution, and that one must understand not only magic, but how they are choosing to use it. After this revelation, she left Nex and enrolled in the Magaambya, to learn to wield magic differently.

2. What is your character's portfolio?
Portfolio: Truth, Protection, Magic, Self-Acceptance
Domains: Law, Magic, Knowledge, Protection
Subdomains: Purity (Law), Education (Knowledge), Thought (Knowledge)

Alithea's concerns are primarily based on truth, understanding, and protection, especially when it comes to magic. She encourages the study of magic to understand its fundamental nature, and be able to see through and undo what she now sees as the often duplicitous and addicting power of magic. This inspection should be aimed not only at the outside world, but internally, to best understand one's true self. She stands opposed to Nethys's unrestricted pursuit of magic.

3. What does your character look like?
Alithea is often depicted as a very average woman of her followers' race or nationality, often in simple attire, such as a plain white gown. She is often shown deep in contemplation or meditation. She is distinguished by the appearance of her holy symbol, a stylized eye emblazoned on a shattered mask.

In actuality, Alithea is a Garundi human woman with several grey streaks in her hair, which is long, but often worn up in a bun. She favors plain robes rather than ostentatious robes, despite her divinity. Her appearance is intentionally left as her human self, as that is her true origin, and she does not seek to change it.

4. How did your character become a demigod?
When she tried to contain the massive amount of magical energy from the catastrophic experiment, Alithea was able to awaken her divine spark. Alithea refused to indulge her mythic powers at first, and spent a decade in seclusion, reflecting on her new powers and the ways to best use them. Once she understood her new powers, she set out into the world to unravel what she saw as the greatest injustices of magic.

5. Where does your character live?
Alithea primarily wanders Golarion, seeking out nefarious uses of magic and seeks to unravel them. Her teachings require considered reflection, but also demand action, so she rarely spends much time in her residences. When she does seek rest on Golarion, she retires to her temple in Absalom (more below). She has also carved out a small portion of the Serene Circle, Irori's domain on Axis, though she only retires from the Material Plane when she seeks to reflect on particularly difficult topics.

Obedience Spend an hour reflecting carefully on your past day. Think carefully about your motivations and ways you were dishonest to yourself or others. Then consider both your strengths and shortcomings in the past day.

1. Where in the verse is your cult centered?
Alithea maintains a temple in Absalom, though her work has caused her to travel throughout Golarion. Her biggest following is centered in the River Kingdoms and Galt, where notions of truth are particularly important yet distrust is common.

2. What sorts of people worship you?
Alithea has two primary types of worshipers, those who have been harmed by magic, and those who seek truth, either internally or externally.

3. If your character has one, please describe your character's herald.
Alithea's herald is The Scribe, a unique Scrivenite. The creatures are known for their dutiful recollection of the truth without bias or interpretation. When Alithea seeks to reflect deeply, she has The Scribe strip her life into a soul tome and reabsorb her knowledge and life.

Rites
Cruelties of Magic - This rite involves intentionally subjugating one's self to nefarious uses of magic to remember the pain and power of such magic. Usually this involves enchantments, particularly of the compulsion and charm subschools, as well as illusions and in some circles, even transmutations are included. This rite is often undertaken by clergy that have not suffered at the hands of magic before.

Remembrance - This is a particularly extreme rite that only the most dedicated followers of Alithea seek out. They seek to replicate her extreme method of self reflection, having a scrivenite strip their history bare so that they may absorb their unbiased truth and reflect on what it means about them. The requirement for summoning an outsider limits this to followers with access to more powerful spellcasting.

Holidays
Summary Day - This falls on the last day of the year (31st of Kuthona). Though the idea that a new year is an opportunity to start anew, this day demands introspection over the past year, and an honest reckoning of one's strengths and weaknesses. Alithea does not demand any particular dedication to improve in the new year, instead only seeking understanding of one's self.

Aphorisms
The truth is blinding - This particular aphorism is used both as an admonishment of deceivers, but also as encouragement to initiates that struggle to see themselves honestly.

Doubt with vigilance - This saying is used to caution people who seem to be acting recklessly, instead encouraging them to reconsider somewhere they've placed their trust or a course of action.

Understanding before mastery - Alithea's experiences with magic have taught her the dangers of getting lost in pursuit of a goal. Self-possession and a clear mind are needed before a skill can be wielded effectively.

Alithea is one of the few neutral gods that actively seeks paladins. Though she encourages all to know themselves, whether Good or Evil, she accepts that paladins are most likely to help cut through the more evil uses of magic for the purposes of deception. Though her paladins lack some of the absolute conviction of other paladins, they rarely are wracked with the same uncertainty of other paladins.

• I must know my own self and my resolve. I cannot help others without my own strength.
• I will seek out the truth of what is, and expose that which is not. I will not suffer deception.
• I will protect those who cannot protect themselves from magic.
• Understanding is the greatest gift I can give. I will strive to help others understand themselves.

Nethys - The reckless use of magic promoted by Nethys as well as his favoring the idea of dualities, rather than balancing opposing forces have lead Alithea to have a vehement opposition to the god of magic.

Irori - The focus on knowledge and self-perfection make Irori a natural ally for Alithea, though her teachings of acceptance rather than refined perfection are a point of contention between the two. She views Irori as a mentor who pushes her to improve herself.

Gozreh - Alithea admires Gozreh tremendously. Gozreh's role as the force of nature is a pure and fundamental understanding that it makes her envious at times. She considers Gozreh as a mentor in her aspect of self-understanding, and for representing the natural world in its barest form.

Shelyn - Art is a powerful form of self-expression, and is often used as a means of self-exploration, causing Alithea to have a respect for Shelyn's push for art. Alithea's lack of reverence for the actual art produced causes some difficulties among the two.

Kurgess - His push to have his followers face ever-newer challenges gives Alithea a difficult relationship with Kurgess. The god seeks honest challenges and competitions, which are a way to learn about one's limitations practically, but his more impulsive nature cause some tension.

Gods of Trickery - Alithea's central tenant of truth place her in opposition to any god with trickery in their portfolio. Some specifics are called out below.

Asmodeus - The Prince of Darkness teaches that using trickery to subjugate others is not only acceptable, but virtuous. This use of magically enforced subjugation through infernal contracts is anathema to the Unraveling Eye.

Sivanah - The goddess of illusion and mystery falls firmly opposed to Alithea. Though her teachings don't encourage malicious use of magic, illusions are inherently dishonest, if not always evil.

Norgorber - Strangely, she harbors little resentment for followers of the Reaper of Reputation, as his brand of cruelty targets those who lie about their true selves, ensnaring them in their own lies.

Rule 0: The GM reserves the right to add to these nerfs as necessary if a mythic ability grows out of hand.
You only get +1 to stat bonuses as part of advancing in mythic tiers, not +2.

You cannot get permanent bonuses to your stats through wishes in this campaign.

The amazing initiative basic mythic ability is replaced with a bonus to initiative checks equal to one-half of your mythic tier. In addition, as a free action when rolling initiative you may expend one use of mythic power to add your surge die to your initiative roll.

The agile monster template, when applied to PC companions and summons, no longer gives the dual initiative ability. Instead, it gives haste.

The following abilities: champion’s strike, guardian’s call, marshal’s order, and trickster attack abilities are no longer usable as swift actions. Instead, they are standard actions when sued at the cost of 1 mythic power, move actions at the cost of 2 mythic power, and swift actions at the cost of 3 mythic power.

You cannot, for any reason, gain additional attacks at their highest attack bonus from more than one source, no matter how many such abilities are in effect. (Example: haste, champion’s strike abilities, etc.)

If you enter the space of a mythic creature with the Titan’s Bane ability, it is considered flat-footed only against the first attack you make against it.

Player characters (and their allies) can use only one ability that requires the expenditure of mythic power per round. This may be a mythic feat, mythic spell, mythic path ability, a power used by a legendary item, or anything else; if it involves expending mythic power, a character can use only one per round. Characters can use abilities that require spending more than one use of mythic power. Legendary power is considered separate from mythic power.

You are likewise limited to the use of only one ability that requires the expenditure of legendary power per round.

Mythic surges may be spent after a d20 has been rolled, but not after the result of the roll has been revealed.

Mythic power is regained at a rate of 1 use per day. It is refilled to full after completing a mythic trial. This rate of mythic power regeneration cannot be changed in any way through abilities or spells. The GM may allow the heroes to regenerate additional uses of mythic power as a reward for epic feats or good roleplay. At 2nd tier, 6th tier, and 10th tier, the regeneration of mythic power increases by 1.

The foe-biting legendary item ability has been banned. It is replaced with the ability to expend one use of the item’s legendary power after striking an opponent with the weapon to add the bane property against that specific creature (regardless of its type and subtype) for 1 minute. If the item is already a bane weapon against that creature’s type (and subtype, if applicable), using the foe-biting property increases the effect of bane to a +3 enhancement bonus and +3d6 damage, or to +4 and +4d6 if the wielder is a mythic character and expends one use of mythic power as a swift action when expending the item’s legendary power to increase its bane effect.

The Mythic Power Attack feat is now identical to the Mythic Deadly Aim feat, except it applies to melee damage rolls, not ranged.

Mythic Vital Strike is banned.

Instead of granting a flat +20 bonus on the relevant ability check or related skill check, the universal path abilities Display of Strength/Dexterity/Constitution/Intelligence/Wisdom/Charisma grant a bonus equal to three times your mythic tier.

Using the Recuperation mythic ability costs one-half of each character’s remaining daily uses of mythic power (minimum 2).

You need to spend 2 uses of mythic power to use the unstoppable mythic ability to remove a debuff caused by a mythic effect, not 1.

Any ability that allows you to ignore immunity or resistance allows you to ignore up to 5 points of resistance or immunity, plus 5 points per 2 mythic ranks or tiers you possess.

Any ability that allows you to ignore or bypass damage reduction instead allows you to ignore 5 points of damage reduction, plus 1 point of damage reduction per mythic rank or tier you possess. This applies to mythic abilities like the fleet charge champion path feature as well as non-mythic effects like a paladin’s smite evil.

When a critical hit is confirmed against a mythic creature with damage reduction and the attack does not ignore damage reduction, the creature has a percentage chance equal to twice its damage reduction to negate the critical hit and treat the hit as a normal hit. If the creature also has the fortification universal monster ability or a similar ability to negate critical hits, add these two percentage chances together and make a single roll.

An effect that allows you to ignore spell resistance (when it would normally apply) allows you add your mythic tier on caster level checks to ignore spell resistance. You apply an additional +2 circumstance bonus if the target is a non-mythic creature or if you are casting a mythic spell; these circumstance bonuses stack.

Harmful conditions that occur even on a successful save are halved in duration (minimum 0 rounds) if the mythic rank or tier of an affected creature equals or exceeds that of the creature that created the effect. They are also halved (minimum 0 rounds) for a non-mythic creature whose CR equals or exceeds the caster level (or Hit Dice, for supernatural effects) of the creature that created the effect. This does not apply to effects with an instantaneous or permanent duration.

Wild Arcana, Inspired Spell, Arcane Surge, and Recalled Blessing can only be used on spells with a casting time of 1 standard action or less. Using these abilities requires expending one use of mythic power, plus one additional use for every 2 levels of the spell.
For Arcane Surge and Recalled Blessing, you may expend an additional 2 uses of mythic power to cast a spell as a swift action.

Mythic enemies may expend mythic surges as a swift action to add a bonus to its AC equal to the result of its surge die. If the enemy has DR or hardness, the surge die is also added to DR or hardness. If the enemy has energy resistance, it adds twice the result of its surge die to each type of energy resistance it possesses. This bonus lasts until the beginning of the enemy’s next turn; if it expends two uses of mythic power, it lasts for a number of rounds equal to one- half its mythic rank or tier (minimum 1 round).

When the actions taken by an enemy during its turn would reduce a mythic opponent below 0 hit points, it can expend one or more uses of mythic power to survive with 10% of its current hit points (before that enemy began its turn) for each use of mythic power spent. All damage dealt as part of a full attack action is considered a single effect for this purpose.

In order to play a “monster” PC, you must give up some of your class levels - you give up a number of class levels equal to the CR of the monster you are, and you gain a number of racial hit dice equal to that same number of levels (even if the monster you are a PC of possesses fewer or more HD than the number of levels you gain, you always have the same number of HD as a character of your level would). You also gain all of the abilities given by that monster type, but you do not have to choose all of the same feats and skill ranks as the “standard” member of that race. Instead, you gain the same number of feat slots as a normal character of your level, and skill ranks/class skills according to the type of creature you are playing for every racial hit dice you possess. Treat it very similarly to multiclassing, except in order to play one of these creatures you must possess a certain minimum number of levels.

You can find the rules for creature types (class skills, skills/level, hit dice, etc.) HERE.

When you are a monster, you do not have standard ability score generation. Instead, you take the ability scores of the monster you wish to be. Choose two scores - those scores gain a +4 bonus. Choose two more scores - those gain a +2 bonus. Choose a fifth score - that score takes a -4 penalty. These are your base scores at level 1, and will further be modified by level, tier, and ABP.

Here is a list of pre-approved reasonable types of monster that you may play. Others are available by request, but please don't ask to play an efreeti or anything else with a ridiculous out-of-balance ability. Basically anything that is approximately in-line with these options is available automatically.

List: vulpunal agathion, stone giant, satyr, revenant, shaitan, witchwyrd, doppelganger, djinn, astral deva

You may also choose a template. You give up a number of levels equal to the bonus to CR that the template gives. You may not choose a +0 CR template, or a template that has a penalty to CR. You may also not choose a template that does not have meaning within the game world such as 'advanced' or 'arctic creature'. You must choose a template that adds meaningfully to your character in a narrative fashion. You should only be a half-whatever template if your character literally has one outsider parent and one mortal parent. Examples of acceptable templates include:

List: graveknight, vampire, nosferatu, natural lycanthrope, lich, broken soul, or worm that walks

Oh, I see. A woman descended from Azlant nobility makes sense, but it different from an actual member of Azlant nobility.

Thanks for your answers, I wasn't totally clear that the character you linked is something I should refer to as being canon for your character.

I really like the theming of your character, and it's well-written, but I think it's strange that a god of planning and cunning would become a deity on accident through a failure to account for all of the variables. Perhaps a slight adjustment so that it took a very particular confluence of forces that the other vampiric gods were unwilling to wait for, but that it was on purpose?

Your character reminds me of a lighthouse, which I think is really interesting and probably on purpose. I like it.

Can you give me a bit more detail on 'the divine fire'? What is it? Where was it? Who did Caladrel steal it from?

If Ranam was born a slave and was the sole survivor of an explosion that killed a ton of efreeti, how is it that the efreeti allow him to still live in the City of Brass? By my reading, they would blame him for it, and there are creatures in the City of Brass who are much more powerful than CR 17, easily enough to oust him if they wanted to.

What do you think about this issue?

Other than that - I like the concept of your deity. What kind of hammer is his favored weapon? A warhammer? A light hammer? A meteor hammer?

Truth be told, I hadn't thought of the lighthouse, but as soon as I read your post, the symbol seemed absolutely appropriate! His temples could be lighthouses, where scholars peruse maps, wizards study old tomes, and priests offer guidance and blessing to faithful travellers.

The character was originally inspired by the ubiquitous myth of the theft of fire, as well as by the various trickster gods, namely Lugh and Hermes. That being said, I strayed from these initial ideas when I began to describe the character, so at this point, anything goes!

The theft of fire... Caladrel stole the divine flame from Ymeri, Queen of the Inferno, on the Elemental Plane of Fire. Because of this, most efreet, fire elementals, and fire mephits are prone to despise him – or to seek to serve him if they have turned from their queen!

Worth noting: the efreet prince Jhavhul, who was trapped in a forgotten demiplane by the djinni princess Nefeshti, seeks to free himself and to kill Caladrel in order to impress Queen Ymeri.

Works for you? If so, I'll take the time to revise the character description accordingly. And to add a few more details. And to specify Caladrel's relationship with other divinities...

What is your character? Where are they from?
Caladrel is the son of a Peri and an Elven lord from Kyonin. As such, he has always erred between two worlds and belonged to neither. Blessed by the heavens, the Aasimar was revered. But his impure blood made him ever an outsider.

What is your character's portfolio?
Portfolio: Sun, Navigation, Exploration, Fate
Domains: Travel, Luck, Trickery, Fire
“The eternal flame must light the way for all people.”

What does your character look like?
Caladrel is a handsome and well-spoken elf in red robes. His eyes burn like embers, revealing the fire within. His easy smile and demeanour speak of a desire to engage in the world and learn all things.

How did your character become a demigod?
Caladrel’s divinity came about when he came into contact with the Divine Flame, which he stole from Ymeri, Queen of the Inferno.

Where does your character live?
Caladrel resides on the Material plane. His theft of the Divine Flame having been met with fury and derision by his kinsmen in Kyonin, his home is now the lighthouse of Absalom.

Where in the verse is your cult centered?
The cult of Caladrel is fairly common in many cities of the inner Sea. Churches to Caladrel take the form of lighthouses.

What sorts of people worship you?
Often competing with Sarenrae for followers, the cult attracks priests, rangers, and bards, as well as sailors, explorers and merchants. Wizards also flock to the cult to learn about the secrets of the Divine Flame.
Lately, elves have begun to call upon his divinity, much to Calistria’s dismay.
While the cult is organized, it encourages individualism and adventure.

If your character has one, please describe your character's herald.
To be determined.

Favored weapon: staff
Symbol: burning eye 

Sacred animal: Albatross 

Sacred color: red

Obedience: share the flame and light a candle

Relations with other deities and gods

Ymeri, Queen of the Inferno: Caladrel avoids the Plane of Fire and its denizens. The efreet Prince Jhavhul, who was trapped in a forgotten demiplane by the djinni princess Nefeshti, has vowed to free himself and to kill Caladrel in order to impress his queen.

Sarenrae: While Caladrel competes with her for followers, their relations remain amicable.

Norgorber: Caladrel shares the disdain of the other gods for Norgorber, but knows better than to oppose him.

Abadar: Caladrel’s relationship with Abadar is agreeable. However, Caladrel longs to know the secrets of the First Vault and, because of this, Abadar is wary.

Calistria: The vengeful goddess believes that Caladrel should have been among her followers, and frowns upon his nascent divinity. The fact that elves have begun to recognize Caladrel’s power only further feeds her dislike.

Irori: Irori frowns upon Caladrel’s divinity, which he considers poorly acquired.

Argrinyxia: Caladrel regularly deals with merchants and wizards in Shadow Absalom, and respects Argrinyxia’s rule.

1. who is your character, where are they from?
Known only by "The Artist", he has shunned his former name long ago, lest it overshadow his creation. He is the Creator of Art made Real and Reality made Art. He is said to have hailed from a normal peasant family, symbolic of the capacity for beauty in all of us. Whether this is just a story fabricated for purpose or the truth, no one can say. Various races and cultures claim to have seen this demigod in their own image, or in a ever-shifting, protean image.

2. What is your character's portfolio?
Art, creation, craft, vision.
domains: Artifice, Knowledge, Luck (Imagination), Rune (Language)
The Artist is a proponent of all art: painting, sculpting, the spoken word, the written word, the song, the simple artistry the local forgemaster extols when he stamps his latest dagger or shield.

3. What does your character look like?
The Artist changes appearance often, typically cycling through appearing like anyone nearby, or mixtures thereof, to evoke the capability of art within us all. Typically, this facade will be idealized, but not all art is perfect all of the time. Sometimes, The Artist will simply craft a new appearance from whimsy.

4. How did your character become a demigod?
The Artist was commissioned for religious iconography for a church, and the deities were so pleased at the nature of the work that they gave him the faintest spark of divinity to see what he would do with it. He went on to make greater and greater works and did not use the power for evil, so they allowed the spark to grow naturally within him.

5. Where does your character live?
The Artist travels far and wide, and can be found anywhere where art is, or is perhaps traveling to find some new muse to depict.

1. Where in the verse is your cult centered?
The Artisans are spread thin, far and wide, though they do tend to amass in universities and galleries.

2. What sorts of people worship you?
People who make art and things that can be considered art.

3. If your character has one, please describe your character's herald.
No herald yet, not quite powerful enough to have one i dont think

The Spellscar mystery is fine. I think wild magic has a lot of potential for fun situations.

As is suggested, I would say the drow noble costs you a level.

a few questions of "is this allowed?"

1. Spheres of power/might in general (i saw there were some approvals upthread)

2. Mirrorkin

3. Advanced Talents within Spheres of Power and Legendary Talents within Spheres of Might

blue text is from Artist point of view, not mine

Rednal: Name TBA, a nascent divine human of exchanging magical services for coin
Portfolio: Transactions, magic, fairness, loyalty
Domains: Law, Magic, Protection, Travel

Seems an amiable sort, nothing nefarious here. Artistic? Perhaps not. Art has value and can be bought and sold, and growing one's own business could be considered an art in and of itself.

Mat H: Priella, a nascent divine human of change for change's sake
Portfolio: Change, Unpredictability, and Whimsy
Domains: Chaos, Knowledge, Luck, Madness, Trickery

Unpredictability and whimsy are joyful, though reliability is desired in an ally. Change can be beautiful, trickery and madness can be bad.

Chapel Ty'El: Rthignynt, a nascent divine mindslaver ooze of life's cycle
Portfolio: Change, decay, fertility, growth
Domains: Death, Knowledge, Plant, Repose

anything with the name mindslaver is worrisome, but death is a natural part of life and can be made into art just as most things can. same with growth and fertility.

andreww: Ammon, a nascent divine human of information and service to a lord
Portfolio: History, humanity, service, spies
Domains: Law, Knowledge, Protection, Community

another stodgy sort. not artistic, but not necessarily evil. could be evil though. humanity is a great subject of art, spying can be an art of a sort, service is commendable if good in intent.

Mythicman19: Teras, a nascent divine human of gladiators and warriors
Portfolio: Camaraderie, war, glory
Domains: Law, Glory, Community, War

gladiators and warriors make great muses, it stirs the blood to see a painting of a battle scene or the statue of a great conqueror of old. it reminds people there are things worth protecting.

Brolof: Saint Uliaza, a nascent divine drow of freedom and revolutions
Portfolio: revolution, subterfuge, good drow
Domains: Chaos, Good, Liberation, Trickery

drow tend to have negative connotations, and so too with subterfuge and trickery. revolution is good if it is of good intent, and liberation is better than slavery for sure.

Artemis P: Nestellbam, a nascent divine dragon of the preservation of all things
Portfolio: preservation, restoration, living things
Domains: Law, Healing, Renewal, Preservation

what's not to like? Art is about preservation, after all. preserving a scene in canvas, a person in stone, a tale in tome.

The Waskally: Avram, a nascent divine human of Aroden's return
Portfolio: humanity, protection, Golarion's restoration, heroism
Domains: Good, Glory, Nobility, Travel

nothing bad here, humanity and heroism and glory make great muses

Daedalus: Blood Emperor Ruithvein, a nascent divine vampire of cunning and plans
Portfolio: cunning, patience, subtlety, control
Domains: Evil, Law, Darkness, Charm

control is somewhat of an enemy of art. charming people into thinking your way is also detestable. in darkness one cannot see art. not so great.

Alias ad Tempus: Caladrel, a nascent divine elven aasimar of guidance and navigation
Portfolio: the sun, navigation, exploration, fate
Domains: Travel, Luck, Trickery, Fire

without exploration, we would not see new things. it gets boring making the same old art, keeping things fresh by traveling is important.

JoshB: Ranam, a nascent divine ifrit patron of swordsmiths
Portfolio: the forge, metal, hard labor
Domains: Law, Earth, Fire, Artifice

hard work is respectable, and so is the creation of long-lasting pieces of art such as by way of hammer, anvil, and fire.

Simeon: Calxakti, the sightless prophet
Portfolio: unfulfilled prophesy, nightmares, solitude
Domains: Chaos, Madness, Prophesy, Void

how sad, one who cannot see beauty as the rest of us. chaos is no problem, and madness understandable at times.

yiannisph: Alithea, a nascent divine human of truth and understanding
Portfolio: Truth, protection, magic, self-acceptance
Domains: Law, Magic, Knowledge, Protection

nothing bad here, protection and self-acceptance are important, as is truth to a degree.

Monkeygod: Veldrin d'Sharen a nascent divine drow of necromancy and undeath.
Portfolio: Necromancy, undeath, forbidden lore.
Domains: Death, Evil, Knowledge, Magic.

well, evil is no good, but is a necessary force in the world. lore should not be forbidden. necromancy is no trouble as long as it is not harming people, but such a case is rare indeed.

--------------------
Short Version: Maika is primarily a support character, capable of hurling around metamagic'd psychic spells with relative ease. She possesses a strong divine weapon capable of dealing sonic damage, but as she's not a warrior, she can't actually bring out its full potential. However, she is excellent at dispelling magic and in general knows quite a lot about magic.

However, her real strength comes when others care to make use of her abilities. As an Agent of Accrual, people can open accounts with her and ask her to cast spells for them on-demand. This allows her to cast Wizard and Cleric spells for them essentially on-demand, including powerful heals or magical attacks, giving her allies enormously expanded capabilities when they choose to request additional help. Scroll effects aren't terrible expensive, so even a relatively small investment of their wealth could go quite a long ways.

----

Maika is the Purveyor of Transacted Miracles, overseer of the multiverse-wide standard exchange of magical services for money. This includes both the spells sold by churches and those sold by private citizens, including the merchants of magical items. In times of yore, she was a wizard of some renown in the planar junction city of Hyraeatan, a major trading hub and general supporter of balance on many levels - not the choice of the city, exactly, but the unique nature of some planar events near it meant that the city would either be balanced or destroyed, so people didn't have much of a choice.

Rising through the House of Prominence, Maika eventually ascended to mythic power and began to rapidly move towards immortality. During this process, the magic she'd studied infused every fiber of her being, shifting her from a scholar to an eldritch godling. Shortly thereafter, she began to work with the Temple of Coin and House of Prominence to create a better way to provide magic to others, leading to the largely-fixed pricing the multiverse knows today.

While not quite on the level of a full deity, Maika's had a significant impact on every church that provides spellcasting services to its members. Notably, however, she is completely neutral on the ethics and personal choices of each faith. She knows that different churches have different rules about who can get what, including occasionally having higher or lower prices, but this is kept in check partly by the standardized prices she enforces on non-religious sellers that participate in her organization (which is most of them). By offering standard prices, sellers have to compete based on quality of service, which means most people can buy spellcasting services and magic items without too much hassle.

Magically, Maika is fairly flexible. She maintains a set of psychic powers as her base casting abilities, complete with the knowledge of how to effectively apply the metamagics she knows to improve the potency of her spells. In many ways, she's among the most knowledgeable figures when it comes to precisely how to cast magic, and she puts this to good use.

As an Agent of Accrual - a prestige class discovered in her home city - Maika is also capable of forming contracts with people and casting spells on them if they're willing to pay for it. She can cast up to 7th-level Wizard and Cleric spells - which is, frankly, quite a lot of the spells that exist at all - and can do it as often as people are able to pay for it. This service carries a premium price - approximately twice the cost of buying it elsewhere - but that's what she decided was appropriate for the ability to provide magic on-demand. This was most notable when a rich planar visitor hired her to cast 50 Limited Wishes in a row for him, a feat of casting rarely surpassed. He walked away a poorer but happier man.

As a godling - whose powers have still progressed, albeit slightly delayed - Maika has a selection of useful powers. She can form a divine sonic weapon in a variety of shapes and use it to smack foes around (though she is not, and should not be mistaken for, a true warrior), and she can Channel Energy several times per day to heal a group. She can also gather information, and as if that wasn't troubling enough for her foes, her expertise with magic is such that she can almost always react before her foes and she is particularly resilient against damage from spells.

In general, Maika is neutral on the matter of what other people do with magic, but she has extremely strong opinions on the sale thereof. As far as she's concerned, a deal is a deal and the seller must follow through. She even hires herself out to provide exclusive magic on-demand, paid up-front or through an agreement with the Church of Abadar (whose banking services her own faith is intimately tied to). As the patron of selling magic, every spell she casts has a price - but she believes in fairness, not greed, and never seeks to try and push people into a purchase they can't afford. (Notably, Channeled Energy is not magic in the traditional sense, so she feels quite free to use that.)

She's willing to sell her services to anybody who will pay, with the only real caveat being that she will not actively seek to hurt herself or her personal interests. In that regard, she's fairly mercenary - utterly loyal while the money lasts, but when the job is over, she moves on. This helps her retain her standing among other faiths, and frankly, she doesn't really provide anything that people couldn't otherwise acquire if they put enough capital into the effort. If people wanted magical support, they'd hire someone else if she wasn't available, so most people don't hold it against her and churches generally agree that her presence is better for them.

Maika is missing numerous body parts - only her torso and most of her head is intact. The rest have been replaced with prosthetics. This is confusing to some - she's quite capable of casting Regenerate on herself through her Commission wealth - but she prefers to keep the advanced cybertech prosthetics.

She's capable of crafting almost any magical gear, but seems content with a shimmering golden holy symbol that she keeps tucked beneath her clothing. This item - Cariad Aur - helps her channel her powers and acts as a divine focus for her abilities. She can use it to heal herself or protect against troubling effects, and she's capable of summoning it across planar boundaries. As a major artifact, it's nigh-indestructable... and unknown to most, it anchors her soul to help prevent her death. This item was key to surviving her original ascension to mythic power and has helped her move closer and closer to true godhood in the years since.
