What God Would You Be?
 
I would be Loki, the Norse god of mischief, mayhem, and destruction. Howzabout you?

Leto 01-20-2005 10:42 PM

Anubis. Not for all the propoganda Satan business, Anubis is actually a rather nice fellow. He's the God of Death, but in a good way. He judges you to see if your heart weighs as much as a feather.

Mojo 01-21-2005 04:13 AM

I wanna be Thor, so I get to swing my giant hammer all day long.

Smell 01-21-2005 05:59 AM

I would be Isis, the egyptian goddess of magic and life. That way I would have power and be a rather important fellow.

Esus 01-21-2005 06:27 AM

I'm thinking Esus. ;)

human sacrifices were hanged and skewered before death.... how lovely...

Cyber-Slig 01-21-2005 08:00 AM

I'd be Kronos. King of the titan gods.

Esus 01-21-2005 10:53 AM

Remember Kronos' fate?

Godlesswanderer 01-21-2005 11:45 AM

I'd be The Jade-Emporer. Simply based on the fact that he sounds so cool.

Hobo 01-21-2005 11:48 AM

I'd be God. Clearly! He's like all the other's combined!

Nepharski 01-21-2005 02:54 PM

Hobo, I think that's cheating.

I actually took a test to see which of the Greek gods I was. I got Morpheus, God of Dreams. As you can guess, I was happy that day.

Another diety that might have been fun to be is Odin. Why? Just take a gander here: http://www.fantasysquare.com/pic/ff9/odin.jpg

Okay, okay, so it's not the Norse version of the guy. It still rules. Besides, Odin has an eye that lets him see everything, and that would be awesome.

TheRaisin 01-21-2005 05:47 PM

Odin can see everything?! Whoo baby I want that power! Not all at once, but if I could focus in on whatever I wanted, boy that would be great. I mean just think about it. THINK ABOUT IT! Is there anyone so pure that they would not abuse that power? Heh, I know I would. Good choice.

Not at all, Neph. When I say god I mean any god or godess or deity or even minor mythical figure under the sun. If you want to be a bore and be the Christian god, Hobo, go right ahead. Just know that every other god is laughing at you behind your back, saying "He has to be the lamest god ever! How did he get so much power?".

I've always quite liked Anubis as well. He seems like a pretty good guy as far as gods go. And who wouldn't want the head of a jackal? You would be the life of any party. Mmmyup.

Smell, I think that'd be too much responsibility. I mean, the day Isis goes into menopause will be a sad day for the Nile (if I'm remembering my ancient Egyptian mythology correctly).

Kronos . . . hmm. Was he the one that got bitch-slapped, tarred and feathered by Zeus? I honestly don't remember what the gods did to him. I just know it was bad.

SeaRex 01-21-2005 05:55 PM

DIONYSUS!!! Just sit around, drink red wine all day, and command legions of crazy women to tear people and livestock into teeny, tiny shreds... with their bare hands. Of course, they rip you apart every Spring, but hey! It's so worth it!

Hehehe...

Just like everyone else, I've always like Anubis. Everyone likes Anubis. He has a jackal's head. C'mon. C'MON!

I used to be pretty interested in Native American mythology, and I'm sure there was some god that was pretty cool. Of course, I don't remember jack about the subject now... so meh.

Yes indeedy! He's got a golden eye that can see all. Pure excellence.

Really? Okay, then I want to be Ood!*

Add one more name to the list of people who think Anubis is a pretty cool guy. Personally, I think Thor is one of the best, though.

Yes, sir. Kronos is also remembered for having a hungry hankerin' for his own kids to quell his empy stomach at lunch.





*What do I mean? Think about it...where are you?

Al the Glukkon 01-21-2005 06:58 PM

Yes, I would like to be Anubis too. Oh, and I believe Odin only has one eye, but you can see everything...

Nepharski 01-21-2005 07:09 PM

No. he has one eye, which works just like normal eyes, but where his other eye should be, is this golden eye (James Bond, anyone?) that gives him powers.

Plus, he's like the only guy who can mock Thor, and live. Talk about an awesome hobby.

Al the Glukkon 01-21-2005 07:13 PM

Yeah I think your right. I guess it would be cool to be Odin.

AquaticAmbi 01-21-2005 08:45 PM

I would so be some sort of godess of the sea.

The only god that comes to mind that's related to the sea is Neptune. Does anyone know of any others... like female ones?

Smell 01-22-2005 01:51 AM

The only one I can think of is Poisodon (Don't think that's spelt correctly) but he's male.

Cyber-Slig 01-22-2005 04:10 AM

Remember all the god's fates but the current ones? Noone worships them anymore so hey, they're powerless and dead (if they ever existed) .

TheRaisin 01-22-2005 08:57 AM

They never existed, so this thread is purely hypothetical.

Hmm never heard of a sea godess. There are plenty of female sea-related mythical figures, though.

Esus 01-22-2005 09:17 AM

A Goddess who lives and (partially) controls the sea makes an appearance in Homer's Odyssey. I don't remember her name though.

TheRaisin 01-22-2005 09:23 AM

Hmm it wasn't Calisto, was it? Er Calysto. Or was that Calypso? Damn. I dunno, she did something in the Odyssey.

Rich 01-22-2005 09:28 AM

I wouldn't be any of them, they suck.

They can't exist unless people believe in them. Even if I don't believe in myself I can still exist.

Reptile 01-22-2005 12:44 PM

I'd be Jeff, God of biscuits. Or Simon the God of hairdues.

Joe the Intern 01-22-2005 01:12 PM

I'd be Wotan, king of the Norse gods. Or Athena. Because being a woman and having a lot of power would be cool.

Silversnow 01-22-2005 02:18 PM

I'd be Aphrodite, or however you spell it. Yay! Pretty woman with slutty clothes.

Al the Glukkon 01-22-2005 03:40 PM

It was Calypso. She made Odysseus her "slave" when he was washed up on her island.

Alcar 01-22-2005 04:28 PM

Does Ganymede count? He was made immortal by Zeus. I only say him, because I've just finished reading a bit about him :p

Alcar...

dripik 01-23-2005 01:40 AM

I suppose being the Norse god Thor would be good. His hammer (Mjölnir, I think) is rather impressive. It must have a lot of power.


I created a thread like this earlier. There's a test too. Here's the link:
