Worldwound would be one of the biggest things for me - trying to heal the world is hard when there's a huge tear in the middle of it. Fighting demons however is not high on the priority list... tricky...
I'm a fan of the worldwound as a place to start. You're doing Hope/Music, I was going to do something around Creation - maybe with a dash of Dreams/Moon/Imagination (think clotho spinning lives out of chaos, or the early creation myths), and we still have room for a third aspect for the church.
Anyone want to join the Church of the Hopeful Chords of Creation? (Just a random name to make it easier to talk about, feel free to change it)
For mending the wound in the world without fighting all the demons Iomadae style we can do some variant on the "just get us there and we can touch the wound and make it well, fighting only wounds the world more" trope. Walking around with flowers growing if we're barefoot, trying to be sneaky and subduing demons instead of killing them. It even has a neat outcome of "what happens to the demons after we 'win'". I like.
Now to figure out a level 7-10 creation goddess. Oh and we need recruitment to open up =p
My character will likely not be interested in joining a church, given that he will effectively be a demigod. However, given the lack of good-aligned deific support in the world, I would probably consider allying with you, but I am definitely going to be more of a "Scourge it with fire" then a "all things can be redeemed" side of Sarenrae. I will definitely try to do good things and redeem others, but I think the charater that I am building in my head will struggle with that all the time: I can destroy, but I should really be offering a second chance.
There's definitely still some good deities left, just unsure which ones.
Like the idea for worldwound, I've got an idea brewing that might fit into the church in an interesting way. Thinking an endurance/sword or strength martial character who would basically be the shield/strong arm of the church. There would be a heavy focus on the endurance aspect, I'm thinking he attracted the word somehow through an act sheer endurance or willpower.
Im excited for this. I'm brimming with ideas. I've yet to look over the godbound stuff, but I learn quickly, so whatever you want to choose is cool. I think the concept I like best is a martial character that relies on skill rather than any magic. His views are that people should learn to defend themselves rather than submit to a deity (possibly because his abandoned him). No church, but maybe an army. :)
Shelyn will be around - she's specifically called out as the only god that every other force in the universe would like to keep - even Rovagug.

Awesome idea Ash - I've something to add, but I'll PM you about it to see if you like before cluttering up the thread!
Actually,
Shelyn will not be around. She's gone missing, trying to uncover what happened to her brother.
I suppose I should be clearer in my statements: I'm not talking about the Deities themselves, I'm talking about their churches. Between Starfall the second and cataclysmic evil unleashing, there can't be a lot of churches still floating about unmolested. If I was a Mythic Lich, for example, I would make my first priority wiping out the organizations that could seriously hamper me/my minions. I'd be fine with the churches that worship evil deities, but the good and neutral ones would have to go.

New priority 1 - find Shelyn!
We need a recruitment thread badly, having way too much fun with nikolaus.
Noice!
Here's to hoping the idea hasn't withered on the vine...
Oh no! Not at all! We have a lot to work on, altering things to make sense for the world, both flavor & rules wise.
I will get up a basic recruitment thread in the next couple of days(if not tonight), and then a more comprehensive one later(same thread lol).

Ended up playing a lot of Magic the Gathering with my brother and a friend, so first post will hopefully be tomorrow.
Sorry guys, yesterday(Fri, the 7th) slipped away from me and today(the 8th) was recovery from a very bad night's sleep.
I will make sure we have an initial post up Sun. I would do it now, but I am suddenly crashing hard.
I look forward to tomorrow!
I look forward to tomorrow!
Seconded.
