If you took the Star Stone Test to become a god what type of god would you be?

[Half Orc Tengu]

NG I hate laws but recognize their benefit and necessity in a society that is not purely good.

I would be a God of Nature Knowledge and "Monsters"

While Gozreh focuses more on the Air And Water and Plants and animals second. I am the reverse.

Knowledge- I focus on gaining knowledge and it's uses, whether it use is making a good story or inventing something.

By monsters I mean things that are viewed as monstrous but are actually good people. Focusing on forgiveness. So I would be a god that looks out for the Neutral or good goblin. Or the Drow that repents.

My domains are Plants Animals Good Artifice and Lore.

Weapon- 2 Wooden Stun Baton that look like tonfas

My symbol is an acorn, or an Acorn on a book. Or being held by a monstrous race with a halo. Acorns start small and sprout into giant trees that can shelter and shade people and animals, just as a little knowledge can do the same.

Relations-
I think I would get along with Gozreh Erstil and Brigh the most. I would also enjoy the presence of all the good deities. Except Iomedae, she always seems quick to judge and destroy.

My main enemy's would be Norgorber because he destroys knowledge to keep secrets. And Lamashtu because I don't think she will like any one hording in on her domains of animals and monsters.

[Divinitus]

Me as a deity? This should be fun to stat up!

[Vutava]

I'd probably become the god of hikkikomori.

[baja1000]

I'll admit it xD evil would slip out of me with that kind of power. With it, I would defend my home and my loved ones at any cost.

Herald : advanced shield archon

[thegreenteagamer]

Explanation:

You know how CC is the god of booze?

You know how there's a lot of stuff that's a lot less bad for you that can chemically alter your mind? Doesn't it seem stupid that something like alcohol is the domain of a good god, when all the other ways to alter yourself chemically are the purview of villainy?

The Green Herb Deity

Chaotic Good

Domains:
Plant (Growth) - Uh, duh. So many fun plants.
Water (Flowing) - Tea is one of those fun plants. Also I find flowing water to be so relaxing and beautiful.
Chaos (Revelry) - Forget the rules and establishment and traditions. Just chill, enjoy yourself, and try to be a good person. Plus, I am kinda taking all the potheads, so this is prerequisite.
Charm (Love) - Can't be a hippie without it. Plus, love is amazing and conquers all.
Artifice (Construct) - Everyone knows that MacGyver pothead who can make a bong out of the contents of a random drawer. For real, though, I REALLY love functional art. When something is both beautiful and serves a purpose, that's amazing.

Worshippers: Alchemists, apothecarys, pacifists, hermits, functional artists

Symbol: A mortar and pestal

Heralds: Variant treants and leshys of different psychotropic plants.

Garb: Green, loose fitting, but clean clothes, with translucent blues.

Favored Weapon: Syringe Spear

Ethos: Enjoy life as much as you can. It's even better to help someone else enjoy it. Don't let other people steal your joy.

Relations: Obviously, Gozreh and me are gonna be buddies. Can't get the plants without the nature guy. Caiden is probably gonna be my pal too. Sure, he's life of the party while my followers are in the corner, listening to the music, talking philosophy and swearing that is the best song ever, but they're still around. Shelyn, and Nethys, because music is great when you're high, and knowledge is a big part of what I'd be about. Pretty sure I wouldn't get along with most of the lawful or evil folks, but all the neutral good, neutral, chaotic good, or chaotic neutral would get along just fine with me.

Not gonna lie, I'd try to tag Pharasma, for bragging rights. Everyone's after Calistria as the sexy one, but Pharasma's the most powerful and arguably the oldest. If that isn't bragging rights, I don't know what is. "So, yeah, I was born a mortal, worked my way up as an adventurer, passed the test of the starstone, became a deity, and, oh did I mention I nailed the most powerful goddess of all? Yep."

The funniest part is I'm not involved in most of the chemical fun anymore, chemically speaking, but Golarion still needs it represented in someone good, and the hippie peace and love thing is great in my eyes. I'm the deity Golarion deserves.

[QuidEst]

Title: The Mocker of Self

Alignment: NG

Herald: A doppelganger taking on forms of well-known figures from stories.

I figure I'd be a minor demigod, not really having the guts for the responsibility of full apotheosis, nor a particularly important portfolio.

Favored Weapon: Heavy Pick (acceptable substitutes include light pick, punching dagger, kukri, spiked gauntlet, klar, and spiked shield )

Herald: Flaywind, a massive shredstorm (3.5 MM III) animated by an elder lighting elemental with all the best abilities of both.

[Wei Ji the Learner]

Cleonioppe

The Slave of Wages, Muse of the Taxed, Dreamer of the Open Road

Alignment: Neutral Good -- too much Law or Chaos breaks things, no matter what either side says.

Deity of Merchants, Laborers, Artists, and those who love Freedom

Symbol: A single black feather in perfect condition.

Domains: Good, Luck, Protection, Travel

Typical Worshippers: Retailers/merchants, artists seeking inspiration, individuals seeking their own path in life.

Garb: Green and white garb, sometimes accented with black trim

Favored Weapon(s): Quarterstaff or unarmed combat or improvised weaponry. Why restrict it to one thing?

Preferred Outsider Races: Archon, Angel, Azata

Herald: Joe/Jane Average
Just your average sort of guy (or gal) that's apparently trying to make a living just like anyone else. They're the one that happens to catch the shoplifter before they flee with an expensive object, quietly inspire artists when they're feeling 'creative block', and make sure that transportation runs 'on time'.

Favored Animal: Crow

Ethos: Always be fair in your dealings, treat your customers/clients well, help those who are in a creative 'drought', and always work to maintain good transportation connections.

Enemies: Asmodeus (He's the living embodiment of 'legal bindings' paperwork's horrible.), Rovagug, Urgathoa (undead are just *icky*, okay?), Fumeiyoshi (Ditto), Zyphus (Workplace accidents suck, okay?), Lao Shu Po

Allies: Cayden Cailean, Shelyn, Andoletta(Grandmother Crow), Abadar, Desna, Daikitsu

Neutral Relations: Zon-Kuthon: Life *is* pain. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is trying to sell you something for *their* benefit, not yours. Naderi: Freedom to choose one's path isn't always a bright happy ending. Milani: A bit too rebel for our tastes, but we'll support the right causes the right way.

Much like QuidEst above, I'd go for the 'smaller' version. If it caught on, then there's always the option to expand later.

Herald: TongueBite advanced pipe fox.

Ethos: You're here to bring the noise. You can party harder, love longer, fight meaner, and take a beating better than anyone else in the room so never be the first to blink. Be slow to make up your mind but resolute once you've decided your course. Doing what you believe is right is better than being right. Never forget to destress and unwind, drink, wild dancing, loud music, and all else that all things that confound the senses and exhaust the conscience mind have their place if they bring you peace and you master your vices rather than letting them control you.

[Goddity]

I would hope to be a god of oblivion or logic. I could do either.

[Paulicus]

I would probably step on Cayden Cailean's toes too much. :P

Probably more focus on knowledge and nature, though.

[zergtitan]

Dot for later answer.

[Cult of Vorg]

Vorg, TN, the Cult of Idealistic Nihilism, the Laughter in the Void..

Portfolios: introspection, secular altruism, armchair philosophizing, lost and broken souls..

Domains: knowledge(thought), madness, void, charm(love), repose..

Ethos: On a long enough timescale, everything is equally insignificant, be it gods, kings, peasants, insects or whatever. Therefore nothing is more (or less) important than living your life. Only one shot at it, so figure out what's worth dying for and live for it. (The Cult recommends love, learning, and/or understanding.)

Garb: black tattered cloaks and longcoats over wintery colors.

[baja1000]

I stand alone the sole evil deity xD

[Mikael Sebag]

I'm also the god of thread necromancy because I want to see how other people respond to this fascinating prompt.

[captain yesterday]

I may or may not be Shyka, The Many.

Also Brad Pitt.

[Kahel Stormbender]

Me? I guess I'd be the Knight of the Green

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Domains: War, Good, nature, knowledge (not exactly sure since I don't haven't researched the domains yet)

Ethos: Learn when you can, for knowledge is a good thing. Use your knowledge to help others. Evil flourishes when good men do nothing, so get out there and help your fellow man. Give what you can to help others, but not more then you can afford.

Favored Weapons: long sword, dagger, really anything with a sharp edge to it.

[Tiny Coffee Golem]

Carbon copy of Nethis the Ambivalent.

[derpdidruid]

Ronuga

CN

Main concepts: having fun, enjoying your family, worrying about your own buisness.

Domains: trickery, charm, community, repose

Ethos: Keep a full belly and a fuller spirit. Take care of those important to you even at great personal risk. Those who are not of your friends and family are of little importance.

Always make sure to keep enough food and drink on hand for a spur of the moment party. Rules are made to be broken and enforcers of said rules are no better than tyrants. Worry only about evil that affects you or will affect you in the future.

Badness is best felt with by those that it affects. Unneeded charity is the worst thing you can do to a person

Favored weapon: long spear or improvised weapon

[Cole Deschain]

Titles: The Watcher in the Night, The Light in Darkness

Alignment: Neutral Good

Portfolio: The moon, night, nocturnal animals, vigilance

Domains: Animal, Darkness, Good ('cause I'm stuck with it!), Protection, Void

Subdomains: Fur, Moon, Solitude, Stars, Seasons (yeah, I don't have Weather, but none of the Good subdomains really appeal, so, you know, deal.)

Worshippers: Night travelers, good or reluctant lycanthropes, night watchmen, dedicated monster hunters.

Symbol: Crescent Moon including the shadowed body of the rest of the sphere.

Colors: Silver and dark blue.

Favored Weapon: Shaska (scimitar). Silver when possible.

Sacred Animal: Firefly

Ethos: Stand against any who would make the night a time of terror, rather than wonder. Foster an appreciation for the natural things that live by night, and guide those who are lost in darkness. Work with those who will work with you, but allow everyone their space. Great ignorance with information, rather than hostility.

Relations with other faiths:
Enemies: Kick the crap out of worshippers of Zon-Kuthon, Norgorber, and Lamashtu whenever doing so doesn't endanger anyone depending on you. Asmodeus, Rovagug and Urgathoa are bad too, but in a more general sense.

Allies: Desnans are basically kin, and especially early on, a lot of shrines would be shared ones. Try to tolerate their flightiness, since they're basically on the same side. Erastil's okay, but needs to understand that sometimes you really DO need to be alone. Honor Pharasma, since her church's focus on smashing undead dovetails nicely with in-house policy, and since she, too, has aspects involving removing fear from everyday occurrences. Iomedae and Torag are okay, but not especially friendly. Shelyn's bunch are fine, but not really much of a focus. Relations with the faith of Sarenrae are a bit odd, mostly due to iconography and trying to figure out if an eclipse is a sign of unity or competition.

[Boomerang Nebula]

Nice thread idea! No idea what suits me best but I like this idea.

Heralds: Four colossal elemental beings, one for each element. They rarely leave their associated plane and are generally uninterested in the affairs of mortals. Their primary purpose is to govern their own plane unless cosmic wide destruction threatens.

Nice!

I am curious though, what is the significance of the brown bear?

[Set]

Brown bear definitely seems to fit the wanderer/solitary figure concept, being an animal that kind of meanders around it's range alone.

I'll fight you for it, but I'm not very good at it, so...

[Scythia]

Scythia, The Heartless Maiden, Princess of Ashes

Chaotic Good Goddess of Concealed Suffering, Inappropriate Laugher, and Truths Unbidden.

Symbol: An silver eye, with a heart shaped void in place of a pupil, and a single red tear falling from the corner.

Domains: Deception, Insanity, Thoughts, Azata

History: Once the heir to a tiny domain, Scythia was trapped in chains of tradition, expectation, and responsibility. Her own pain could never be shown, and she had to maintain a happy appearance so as to not worry those around her. Scythia learned to laugh when she was hurting, laugh when she felt alone, and laugh when she was powerless. Soon she could no longer cry, only laugh. When she achieved apotheosis, she tore out her heart in order to free herself from the chains of her past.

Worshippers: Scythia has no clerics, no churches, and no organized faith. As a Goddess who understands the need for individuality, Scythia offers those whose lives involve hiding their pain a chance to learn to laugh at life. She empowers perceptive individuals to be Oracles and sends familiars to Witches to reveal truth that others might not want to face. No matter how bad the circumstances, they can always be counted on to laugh.

Deity Weapon (favoured weapon): "Obfuscating Sarcasm" (Bastard Sword)

[Whiskey and a Bonesaw]

Pegedz, The Silent Walker

Titles: The Silent Walker, Echoes-on-the-Mountainside, The First Drum

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Portfolio: Weather, Echoes, Candlelight

Domains: Darkness, Weather, Protection, Evil

Subdomains: Loss, Solitude, Storms

Symbol: A light in a cave on a mountain

Worshipers: Nobles, hermits, weathermen, the optimistic insane

Creed: Never offer help, merely observe. Take responsibility away from others and onto your own shoulders. Embrace silence as a strengthening virtue.

Deific Observance: Light seven candles and blow them out one by one, meditating on the encroaching darkness.

Favored Weapon: Longbow

Favored Animal: Cat

Herald: A Thunderbird that brings with it a terrible drought.

Allies: Asmodeus, Norgober, Irori, Desna

Enemies: Cayden Calean (less out of personal dislike and more from a fundamental disagreement of what being a god should entail), Iomedae, Abadar

"Like the light of an oil lamp, dimming, dimming, winking out. The moment when the struggle’s already lost, surrendered, and the tiny heart slows in its own realization, then stops in mute wonder. And never stirs again."

[Aelreth]

Titles: The War Mage, The Arcane Warrior, The Arch-General, The Burner of Fields, The Chess Master

Alignment: True Neutral

Portfolio: Tactics, War, Magic,

Domains: War, Magic, Knowledge, Destruction

Holy Symbol: A Chess Piece (which piece denotes rank) with a Sword going through the center, surrounded by magical writings.

Clothing: A combination of armor (preferably made out of steel) combined with a red cloak and/or robe.

Appearance: Depicted as a clean shaven man of the worshiper's own race, of average height. Usually depicted wearing a breastplate (although other armor is not unheard of) with a sword in one hand and a spell book in another.

Favored Weapon: Scimitar (Calvary Saber)

Centers of Worship: Geb and Nex

Holy Text: The Art of War Magic

Heralds: A series of Animated Intelligent Magical Weapons.

Relations with other Religions
Nethys is the closest thing to an ally, due to him appreciating the use and spread of magic in one of the largest endeavors by mortal kind. Gorum is less of an enemy and more of a rival and a challenge to be over come. Most of the gods have at one time or another enlisted The War Mage to their side at one time or another.

Ethos: Any brute can win a battle when the contest is a simple brawl in the field. A true tactician and master of the arts of war however, can manipulate wars and battlefield like a game of chess.

Worshipers: Mostly Battle Mages and Necromancers leading large un-dead armies. But anyone that finds themselves on the battlefield who hopes to turn the tide of war in their favor. Wither it be by casting a few spells intelligently or luring your enemy into a battlefield of your choosing and springing a trap. His worship is most widely spread in Geb and Nex. But personal prays are offered on all battle fields before and during battle. Where almost all mages will offer a quick prayer before battle hoping for some inspiration to see them win the day.

[Aberzombie]

[Bjørn Røyrvik]

I'd immediately wage war on the useless horrible gods for being unbelievable a%*$!!%@s, then if I survived either kill myself out of self-loathing for what I have become or show people what a good god is supposed to do.

Oh wait, in Golarion?
Eh, probably a modern-day epicurianism. Classic is a bit too ascetic for my taste.
Worshippers: anyone who thinks that conquering other people or going on adventure is much less enjoyable than reading about other people doing it.
