Domain: Unrequited Love
Existing Overlapping Domains: Love, Sadness
Physical Description: I would like CC looks and colors but with a straight bang over her 'eyebrows' and a long braid that goes over her shoulder and down to her feet. A loose, sort of messy one.
Concept: Unrequited love is love that is one sided and will never be. I feel like this is the perfect domain for me because I've experienced this a lot. It's sad and romantic and very dear and close to my heart.

She is drawn to the sad people who have experienced this type of love before. Their sadness pulls her towards them and she tries to help as best as she can.
Temporary Powers: [Up to three. Be very specific with what they can do/can't do.]
None
Permanent Power: [Only one. Be very specific with what they can/can't do.]
None

Domain: Foxes
Existing Overlapping Domains: Nocturnal Animals, Instinct, Nature, Predators, Trickery, Illusions, Deception, Stealth (there may be more, but these were the only obvious ones I noticed that relate to foxes and their nature/the nature of the concept. I believe Foxes would be a child domain of those maybe?)
Physical Description: (Will draw/color a ref once I'm home and have a chance <3 ) Basically colored liked an african sand fox, (which looks like a washed out colors version of a red fox.) ears would be edited to look much more fox-like, tail similarly edited, wings would be of a simple style and fit nicely with the rest of the coloration, and when laid down against his back, you'd barely notice they're there. His mane would be exretemely short and almost non-existant. He may have a little ornamentation or a few bangles. Interesting shiney things like a fox might find interesting or want to take to their den. He'd have a snarky smile and expression.

His mortal form would be a leopard of almost identical coloration.
Concept: The God of Foxes! He looks like a fox, he acts like a fox, he likes trickery and is spunky, but don't make him angry because he can be spiteful. Mostly though, he's good natured and likes to play, especially once night has fallen. He's a bit sluggish during the day and prefers to sleep then. He likes smaller species, and smaller SoA, because foxes are small. If something interests him, he'll usually show up to a situation in fox form, if he wants to be sneaky about the fact that he's a god, or not let the SoA in question know he's there right away. If he wants to impress someone however, he would show up in full pomp with wings spread, but that's not too often. He prefers to sneak about most of the time before choosing to reveal himself. He doesn't often appear in his mortal form, more often he'll show up as a fox, or show his god form.
Temporary Powers: (No powers have been approved, these are all just ideas at this point.)
1 - Illusion of being a fox: Makes the temporarily "cursed" SoA appear to everyone and everything they encounter that they are a fox. The SoA afflicted DOES NOT actually transform into a fox, it is only illusory. It wears off on its own in a matter of hours (The effect never lasts longer than 24 hours)
2 - Fox sense: The God is able to tell where any and all foxes nearby are. Because of this sense, he's easily able to make it SEEM like he "summons" foxes, when really, he's just calling the closest one, as simply as you would shout at the nearest person to get them to walk over. If a fox nearby is out of ear-shot (a long way for a fox) they won't be able to come because they wouldn't hear him. He can't call what's not there or summon/teleport a fox from another area. (He could make it SEEM like he does, by sneaking off out of sight, and teleporting himself to another area, calling to a fox, and asking it to come to the area he WANTS to to be in, however. So this is a very simple, but deceptive talent that would seem to an SoA like he was summoning/teleporting foxes from no where, when really he's not)
3 - Tag-along: A (real, not illusory) fox will follow the "cursed/blessed" (whether it's a curse or a blessing would depend on the opinion of the individual and the God's intentions) SoA wherever they go (anywhere the fox is physically able to go). The fox wouldn't follow longer than 3 days.
Permanent Power: Fox pelt illusion: Curses/Blesses (would depend on the opinion of the SoA as to whether it's a good or a bad thing) the pelt of an SoA in to look like that of any african fox species. The pelt does not ACTUALLY change (meaning the pelts of an SoA's offspring would NOT have fox traits) but it will permantly APPEAR that way, unless the "curse" is lifted. (Basically it would be like dying your hair blue. Your children wouldn't have blue hair, but you would. Like that.)

Domain: Comeuppance
Existing Overlapping Domains: Change, Choices, Conscience, Identity, Teaching, Illusion.
Physical Description: CC, preferably darker colors with glowing markings around her face and along her spine that creep down her sides or along the bottom edge of her paws.
Concept: Let's face it, there are lions and cheetahs and other animals wandering around who dish out terrible things unto others, and nothing ever seems to happen to them. This is where this domain comes into play. They only get what's coming to them, after all.
Rava is a goddess drawn to those who are stuck up, cruel, greedy, or just tyrants by nature, and hands them their 'just desserts', anything from a small, unexpected thing to a life-changing event.
Temporary Powers: [Up to three. Be very specific with what they can do/can't do.]
1 - Wrongdoing~ In the presence of the goddess, any wrongs you have committed will resurface in your mind, forcing you to face them for a brief moment of time. They will leave you alone as soon as she does, or you run out of bad memories.
2 - Witnessed~ By touch, the goddess can see what you have done in your past, and she can judge you accordingly. She pries for the worst of what you have committed, and she cannot see your entire lifetime of memories.

Permanent Power:
Reflect~ Should she ever cross someone who is foul to their very core, her power allows her to change something about them physically until they can find the 'cure'. A good example would be finding a lion stuck on their appearance who belittled the goddess herself; she would riddle him nose to tail with burn scars, boils and bald patches until he could discover a different kind of beauty, such as a mate or someone who would look past the lion's appearance and be a friend to him. The curse would vanish after that point, but leaves behind a mark on the pawpad as a reminder.

Domain: Succession
Existing Overlapping Domains:
◘ Beginnings:
The idea of succession is that with the end of one thing, another begins to either take its place or carry on where it left off. This may overlap a bit or be something of a ‘child domain’ to beginnings.
◘ Choices:
Succession is something that does involve a lot of choices and decisions. It’s not a huge over-lap but I could see how it might a little.
◘ Rebirth:
This may be the biggest over-lap but it doesn’t conflict. Succession is where one other individual takes the place of another. The ambition or role may be rebirthed into the individual but the individual themselves is a new being entirely.
Physical Description:
Succession will be an ascended form of Taban, the leader of the Chokwe troupe. I want him to (eventually, a few metas from now) meet his end in battle (likely with the vampires or another hostile pride) and ascend into goodhood. He’ll look essentially the same, though his shoulder mark (seen in his adol stage only) will be showing and I may add a pair of firey wings to him along with a few more trinkets and a different hairstyle (a half-mane to keep his appearance somewhat cheetah-ish).
Concept:
Succession is a pretty big theme in SoA so I think he’d have a place among the gods domain-wise. When a king (or queen, leader, etc.) passes on and names a new heir(ess)/leader figure he will appear to oversee the succession. If the owners permit and if he feels it’s a worthy cause, he will bless the succeeding individual. If not, he’ll simply witness the ritual and be on his way. He’ll retain a place within Chokwe but as his domain dictates, he will decide on a successor of his own to take his place as the leader.

Temporary Power(s)
- I can’t think of any! He’s going to be more of a symbol than anything.

Permanent Power:
“Spirit of Succession” - The newly named successor will be granted with a blessing that will assist in taking on his or her newly found role. This blessing will draw off of the individual’s predecessor, taking one of the fallen leader’s greatest qualities and bestowing it upon his or her successor. If, for example, the fallen king was known for being a skilled diplomat, the skill of diplomacy will be drawn from the spirit of the fallen and laid upon the spirit of the successor.

He cannot pass along physical traits or blessings bestowed on by other gods. He can only draw off of a single quality that the past leader possessed and pass it along to the chosen successor. He cannot use this ability on any mortals that are not taking on a succession role of some sort. (Father-son, mother-daughter, mentor-student, etc.)

Domain: Tenacity
Existing Overlapping Domains: Possibly Determination?
Physical Description: Acension of Ziarre'ari. CC pose, CC accessories, CC markings to an extent as long as she resembles the original. Changing colors/markings is fine, as long as she's still somewhat recognizable.
Original SoA
Concept: I see tenacity as stubbornness - refusing to give in, to give up, or to change just because, damnit.
Temporary Powers:
1 - Aura of Tenacity: Those within an area of Tenacity would feel the urge to be more tenacious/stubborn.
2 - Never Give Up: Target receives a short, intense burst of tenaciousness, and will refuse to give up until it dissipates.
Permanent Power: Tenacity: Permanent urge to be more tenacious, even when Ziarre is not present. Lasts until removed.

Domain: Shapeshifting
Existing Overlapping Domains: Illusions
Physical Description: She would be lioness, fur being silver with darker gray at the edges, think silver fox. She has a more Asian style to her however, as far as hair style goes. Silver accessories, with a special pendent. Large Fluffy wings...>_< she's just fluffy all over
Concept: Since all Gods are able to Shapeshift it only seems natural to have a Goddess that is able to kinda watch over it and make sure there aren't any really big mistakes happening. Lu'mikki never really like settling on just one form. She likes to morph her features to whatever seemed appropriate at the time. She can be very level headed and sweet, but sometimes she just seems to not pay attention. But she's a firm believer in just because you can doesn't mean you have to. So she normally doesn't use her powers except in rare circumstances. She more or less makes sure that there aren't any really big mistakes.
Temporary Powers: [Up to three. Be very specific with what they can do/can't do.]
She's really more of a symbol rather then being able to use powers.
Permanent Power: Lu'mikki can on very rare occassions shift small things on another SoA, these are only done in rare circumstances and only when it is allowable.

Domain: Feasts
Existing Overlapping Domains: Animals, Famine (polar opposite), Fish, Harvest, Indulgence (feasting too much would be gluttony), Nature, Plants
Physical Description: His main color will be brown like a gazelle's brown. Mane and tail tuft will be a juicy red color, like raw meat, with white streaks through it. An assortment of prey animal charms around one leg. A necklace with a mango hanging from it. Feathery white wings.
Concept: Lūʻau is the god of feasts. He loves to eat and never goes hungry. His kind of feasts usually involve more than one type of meat and fruits to go with it. He is very social and likes to traverse the land of the mortals. Lūʻau does not like to see anyone go hungry and will always feed those that seriously need to eat or they'll die.

Temporary Powers: [Up to three. Be very specific with what they can do/can't do.]
  1 – Flourish: Should he decide to stay in one place for more than a day, the land around him (100 sq. ft.) will flourish with fruit bearing plants. After he leaves, the land and plants slowly reverts back to the way it was (within 12 hours).
  2 – Thick Meat: If he is in an area, any animal that is hunted down for food will provide a more filling meal than usual and will be able to feed two times more animals than it usually would. He has to be within sight of the kill for it to work. If he travels out of sight of the kill, it will revert to normal.
Permanent Power:
Living Feast: He can fill a barren area with plants and prey animals. The amount of plants and animals will be determined by how much effort he puts into it. He can typically fill 1 sq. mile with prey animals and plants and have the need to rest. If he tries to fill a bigger area (up to 5 sq. miles), it will use a lot of his energy and he'll need to rest a few days to fully recover. Lūʻau has no control over where the prey animals go after he makes them and has no control over how well the plants do in the area.

Domain: Ill Omens
Existing Overlapping Domains: Dreams, Nightmares, Fear, Illusions, Messengers.
Physical Description: Conversion of Nyi-ku from SoAsia. He doesn't have a lion's full mane, just an unkempt ridge down his neck. Wolfish ears and tail, with the same mask and bone-wings he has in his original form. No more companion.
Concept: A grim, quiet, humorless god, whose only satisfaction in life is the execution of his domain. He simply exists, and does what he is meant to do.
Temporary Powers:
1 - Foreboding Aura: His presence sets those nearby on edge, a goosebumps/hair on the back of your neck feeling, that tingly awareness that something isn't right.
2 - Dire Sign: Nyi-ku can conjure a minor sign of bad omen: a strangely-shaped dark cloud, a fleeting vision of a twisted creature (only glimpsed, impossible to interact with), etc.
3 - To a Flame: He is drawn to places where, or individuals for whom, trouble is brewing. He doesn't know what or when, only that something is going to happen.
Permanent Power: We Should Go...: He can curse/bless a place to give people the 'stay away!'/creepy/dangerous vibe, like those obviously haunted forests that everyone always seems to go into anyway. This affects not just the feeling of an entire place (a pride's territory, for instance), but the appearance of its borders - it doesn't look like a good place to be, although once through the initial boundary radius, it would look however it does naturally. Creatures could still choose to enter and even live there, but would have to endure having the creeps all the time.

Domain: Scars
Existing Overlapping Domains: I'm honestly not sure that there are any? Pain and Hardships maybe, but I'm not sure...
Physical Description:It would be an ascension for Domevlo. Basically his wounds would be more prominent and look like they failed to be stitched together properly. Other than that and a pair of tattered wings, he'd look pretty much the same...
Concept: Domevlo has dedicated himself to the defense and protection of his home. He does so selflessly, sacrificing his already beaten and tattered appearance, and earning even more scars, which weigh more than just skin deep for him. He has long since become very insightful and wise, and his dedication to the swamp lands would not allow him to leave this world so easily. It has imprinted on him deeply with a kindness that he had not received in many years, creating a new kind of scar on his heart - a happy one.
Temporary Powers:
Mental Scars - makes one reflect on the things that have hurt or effected them the most in life for a few hours. Any lingering effects are merely the 'victims' reaction to their thoughts.
Permanent Power:
Painful Reminders - A magical scar is left on the 'victim' that will occasionally flare up to remind them of anything severely and inexplicably, undeniably bad they might have done.

Domain: The Slain (ONLY those who fall in battle)
Existing Overlapping Domains: Death, Combat, War
Physical Description: Ascended form of the mortal Morrigan
Concept: Think a Valkyrie, in some ways. She cannot dictate who is to die in battle, but can sense who will fall in coming battles, calm them, and on rare occasions, keep those fated to die from surviving through alternate means (god blessings, curses of cowardice, etc.) She is not death, but would work with them (once they exist, if ever they do) and battle.
Temporary Powers:
1 - Go Quietly Into That Good Night - Her presence on a battle field gives the soon-to-die a deep sense of calm acceptance leading up to the moment of death. Does NOT alert them that they are about to die/change how they die at all. Has a relatively small radius, only lasts for duration of her being near. A mere tranquilizing effect.
2 - Impending Doom - Can look ahead to a battle soon to happen (from one hour to one day pending) and sense who is fated to die. She cannot act upon this information, or share it with those directly involved in the battle, or who could, with this information, alter the course of the battle in any way.

Permanent Power: Live By The Sword, Die By The Sword - Can instill restlessness in a mortal that drives them to battle again and again until they meet their fated death in battle. Can not be used on mortals fated to die in other means than battle. Causes mild recklessness, eagerness to fight, and general inability to enjoy peacetimes. Can be lifted by appropriate other gods. Really more of an irritant than anything.

Domain: Neglect
Existing Overlapping Domains: Depravity, despair, vengeance, famine, and apathy.
Physical Description: Sickly thin with ribs visible, short and stunted mane and tail that are twisted and unkempt. Disgruntled snarl and haunted expression. All around 'messy' looking and unhealthy.
Concept: He is bitter and unhappy, keeping an almost constant eye on the mortal realms and watching the interactions between cubs and their parents. Neglectful parents do get a rise out of this god, and though he almost never confronts the problem personally, he'll almost always have a paw in dealing with the situation, at least until another comes to his attention. Likewise, neglected cubs are something he likes to keep a lookout for, and may provide subtle, small bits of help to them whenever possible- ensuring, partially, their survival despite their caregiver's neglect.
Temporary Powers:
1 - Forget them Not - If a creature has had a recent litter and they are near to Neglect, they are plagued with sudden and unrelenting thoughts of their offspring, unable to push them aside. The effect leaves as soon as Neglect is out of sight.
2 - I see - The god can look at a cub or pup and 'read' them to see if they've suffered from Neglect. Does not know when, how, or by whom they've suffered.
3 - Guilty Conscience - Likewise, the god can 'read' parents of recent litters to determine if they've neglected their children. Vague 'gut-feeling', not specific to details or circumstances.
Permanent Power:
Do onto Others...- This is a curse that he uses on a particularly neglectful parent that earns his ire. He can only curse one creature at time, and must lift said curse to replace it on a different individual. The recipient feels the pains and torments of neglect, including phantom hunger pains, weakened strength, feelings of helplessness and are easily susceptible to self-doubt and paranoia. Over time their condition worsens both physically and mentally, though never to the point of death.

Domain: North, of the
Existing Overlapping Domains:
Water - His powers derive from water as the North, in chinese mythology, symbolizes water, the color black, and the winter season.
Rivers - He draws his power from the winding river that weaves throughout the North House, Tianxia.
Conflict - The North House is Tianxia's military quarters, thus conflict comes with the House.
War - The North House is Tianxia's military quarters, thus war comes with the House.
Protection (questing) - He uses his powers to protect himself and those he is with, but only within the confines of his pride.
West - a "brother" god who is the embodiment of the West House, Tianxia.
Physical Description:

- Anthro Concept - preferred concept for items, may ignore pants/belt.
- Lion Concept
- Leg Guard Concept
- Necklace and Guard concept

Concept: (NOT OPTIONAL, explain your domain)
--> Born from the trust from the Tianxia pride's North House's protection, strength, and military prowess for the pride. From the devotion and conviction of the North House's loyalty to the pride, he is born forth to protect, guide, and aid the House of Tianxia's North. Because the North is described to symbolize the winter season, the color black, and water, I believe his powers to spawn from the use of water to create on-use tortoise shell-like plates to protect himself and those within his presence. Outside of the Tianxia pride, he simply has his increased strength and combat capabilities.
Temporary Powers: [Up to three. Be very specific with what they can do/can't do.]
1 - a tortoise shell-like plate that absorbs a single attack before fading. Must use a water source.
2 - Materialize his armor on/off his body as he pleases.
3 -
Permanent Power: [Only one. Be very specific with what they can/can't do.]
TBD (if at all)

Domain: Outer Space - If too specific - Planets
Existing Overlapping Domains: Comets, Gravity, The Lunar Eclipse, The Moon, The Solar Eclipse, The Sun,
Physical Description: A cosplay of Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Medium blue fur, with dark blue zig zag pattern along his back and tail. Dark blue mane & Tail. Dark blue outlines on the pads of his feet. Light blue underbelly, and somewhat on his inner legs, around his eyes, and chest fur. Red 'collared' marking around his neck, with a golden diamond hanging from it. Sollid black eyes, long sharp black claws, spinal spikes - blue with black tips ( these double as wings ) If possible I would like his ears stretched/elongated to be more floppy and two attenaes between his ears.
Concept: A very strange lion with a taste for space. He feels the ebb and flow of it and can tell when the planets are aligned in certain ways. Why he exists is relatively unknown - except to inform those with want to know - of the limitless possibilities space provides.
--> If you have already figured out powers, this will help us!
--> Submitting powers is usually optional, except for gods with broad or unusual domains.

Domain: Honor
Existing Overlapping Domains: Chivalry, Conscience. (This domain has already been approved a couple of times for others.)
Physical Description: A CC ascension of Ziarre'ari, my first custom SoA. CC pose, CC accessories, CC markings to an extent as long as she resembles the original. Changing colors/markings is fine if she's still somewhat recognizable.
Original SoA
Original Ziarre
Concept: Honor is defined as 'firm adherence to a code of especially moral values.' It is that nebulous quality so prized by warriors (and valued by many others), that prevents cowardice, oath-breaking, mindless slaughter of those that cannot defend themselves, and various other base, low acts.
Temporary Powers:
1 - Can see into a mortal to judge the level of honor to which they hold themselves.
2 - Can compel a mortal to be more honorable for a brief period of time.
Permanent Power: Can compel a mortal to live their life in a more honorable manner. A coward would find it more difficult to flee from battle, for instance.

Domain: ...the Center, as in the cardinal point. (in several cultures) if you have better name ideas, please xD I understand it might be a weird domain title for many people
Existing Overlapping Domains: None really overlap, but there's West, also a cardinal point xD
Physical Description: I'm going to work on an actual ref and add it in, but he'll be based off Huanglong, the yellow dragon

Edit 07/27: here is a visual thingy. He'll have accesories I've yet to work out, and the mane might end up different, but yar : D
Concept:
So this is a very weird domain, I guess. He is mostly representative, without any real power over anything. In chinese mythology/culture, there are five cardinal points, each of which has a animal/beast guardian of sorts. This god would be based off the center cardinal point guardian, the yellow dragon. So this would definitely be a case of raw belief creating a god. xD;

so yess, the yellow dragon represents the center and the element earth, and the emperor! here is the wikipedia page, because nothing is more trustworthy than that. xP

The main purpose of this god will simply be to be active in the pride Saf and I co-run, Tianxia. :>

Temporary Powers: Since he would be a mostly representative god, a 'guardian beast', as it were, there isn't much for him as far as powers go. xD

1 - Illusion -> he just has an extended illusion ability, able to cast very simple illusions. As in, no only on himself, as all gods have the ability to do. This takes the form of 'fireworks' kind of things, illusions of sparks, smoke and fire. That can be convincing enough, however, more complex things don't work as well. He can't really project an entire lion or anything, at least not convincingly. So yeah, it is mostly just limited to sparklies.

And that was the only temp power I could think might be useful for him. xD It doesn't really reflect on his domain much, it is more about the dragon he's based off. (dragons, sparkly, fire. xD)

Permanent Power:
Calling card! He can give a mortal the ability to "summon" him, with a few special words. When these words are uttered he'd be able to identify who is calling him, (considering he might come to give this power to more than one individual), from roughly where, and be able to shimmy on over. He is not required to come, and can ignore these calls if he wishes. He cannot discern before hand any sense of why he is being called, the mortal may just be calling him for idle chat or they might actually need help; he'd have no idea. Not even a sense of the callers current emotional state, or urgency, or anything.
