DIVINE ATTRIBUTES

Avatar: The Godhead ~*~ Avatar ~ Character Sheet

Discussion: Every God across all the pantheons has at least one Divine Attribute associated with him or her, and it is those Divine Attributes that the Gods’ descendants develop most easily. Scions of Baldur or Aphrodite naturally inherit their divine parents’ symmetry and clean lines, which manifests as ALLURE. Children of Athena, Ptah or Quetzalcoátl are all naturally inclined to mind-expanding epiphanies that blossom into GENIUS. The most versatile Gods—such as Odin, Amaterasu or Atum-Re—pass on natural aptitudes for several Divine Attributes.

Divine Attributes derive from an Avatar's Provinces, however, rather than solely from the legacy of his divine parent. Therefore, every Avatar character can develop any Divine Attribute. Those associated with the divine parent come more easily to the child, but none are denied him. It wouldn’t be out of the question for Avatars descended of Loki or Legba to turn to MIGHT to get themselves out of trouble should their clever schemes go south on them. And woe be unto the titan-spawn who doesn’t account for just that possibility.
