I admit, I'm a sucker for deity/god OCs. Got any cool ones? Post them here!

I still need to draw him an updated reference and touch up his design so he has more than decade-old sketches and a Paint doodle. XD But Damion is an Elemental deity that represents the "rifting Elements" of Darclyte and Chronos, both of which are types of time manipulation. So he's basically a god of time. Right now he's in a mortal form for important reasons, but normally he's a mostly formless body of light and darkness as a deity.
Here is Fyren! They're an unknown deity tied to their home continent and tasked to write down the history of it. Fyren lives as long as the concept of the continent remains the same, so if one day parts of the continent fuse with something else and the name changes then Fyren will die together with it.
They're kind of bitter about the fact they're above lesser gods and just slightly below the main three gods, and as the only one of their kind Fyren feels lonely & kind of forgotten. Especially added by the fact even humans don't know them! Only a selected few in the churches of Miras pass information about them on to next generations so they know to let Fyren enter the churches and do what they want there.
Aside from their main job as a history writer, Fyren is also considered the continent's protector deity, and is allowed to meddle with the fate if the continent is about to meet an unfavorable end with a lot of useless losses. Generally though Fyren is forced to stay on a neutral line and they can't personally even kill anyone, and fighting is allowed only if someone attacks them first or threatens the book Fyren carries.
My stories usually revolve around godhood and themes surrounding religion, so I've got too many holy kids in my arsenal. So I'll just pick my weirdest one.
Gods are sometimes referred to as idols. I thought it'd be funny to make them literal idols. As in J-pop and K-pop idols ppffffftttt.
The way religion works in this universe is that gods thrive on Faith (admiration and dedication from their followers). In the old days, that meant being the shiny deity sitting in the temple. But in the modern age, celebrities like singers and actors have the potential to become godlike since that's where humans of today invest their Faith. It's basically a massive popularity contest to see who gets to be God. That downside is that gods are just "fads" and lose relevance over time. Classic gods lasted thousands of years being worshipped in the temple, but modern gods only last several decades to a couple of centuries due to trends and entertainment morphing over time.
Astrid is god of her nation and has been making music for a couple of centuries. To stay relevant, she's dabbled in a number of fields, and her music career is on and off so that she doesn't become stale or boring to watch. Astrid in particular is legendary, as she's lasted much longer than other modern gods, defining generations of music. She started off as a tap dancer in a troupe. Now she stands on top of the world.
It's a story that's still a WIP. It's ridiculous and pretty fun to play around with. Though if you're looking for more traditional god characters, here's your run-of-the-mill Goddess of Light who likes to pick on mortals.
Here he is, mister "i created everything but now im too lazy/jaded to do anything about it"
also, here's the god of the underworld
Melnadius is the solar goddess of her planet along with her consort. The two act as dual-mini-suns of sorts that orbit the large planet instead and provide light and life for the world. Their orbital patterns can be a little unpredictable since Melnadius just goes wherever she wants and her consort follows behind, but they make sure they don't neglect any region too much. They've had ages to make a science out of their meandering.
