Feature: Old Ruins
You know the locations of abandoned places of worship dedicated to you. Aside from being completely abandoned, there is no food to be found, and there's very few or no objects aside from furniture. Although these places are in varying stages of decay, they remain in tact enough to be used as a shelter.
Suggested Characteristics
The forgotten once possessed great power, but it was extinguished from them over time. This loss of significance should weigh heavily on how they view themselves, deities, mortals, and the multiverse.

Personality Trait |
|
1
|
I don't mind telling people who I really am. They won't believe me anyway.
|
|
2

I try to make people convert their faith to the worship of me.
|
|
3
|
I sound like I know everything, because I do.
|
|
4
|
I always perk up or get curious when I hear my previous domain of power come up in conversation.
|
|
5
|
I dress to blend in (or to stand out).
|
|
6
|
It irks me that mortals take a long time to do anything. It doesn't help that now I'm the same.
|
|
7

I accept (or condemn) people of other faiths. I try to get along (or argue) with them.
|

8
|
I have little or no experience interacting with mortals. I have trouble socializing with them.
|

Ideal |
|
1
|
Responsibility. Being stripped of my power does not make me any less bound to my duty. It's still my responsibility to guide and watch over mortals. (Good)
|
|
2
|
Compliance. I must get along with mortals and live by their rules if I wish to mingle with them. (Lawful)
|
|
3
|
Liberty. Now that I have lost my power, I can pursue a new passion and do as I wish. (Chaotic)
|
|
4
|
Tyranny. Being stripped of my power will not stop me from lording over mortals. (Evil)
|
|
5
|
Secrecy. I must keep my identity a secret if I wish to avoid real trouble. (Neutral)
|
|
6
|
Restoration. Someday I will get my power back. (Any)

Bond |

I will not rest until I've finally confronted those whom I lost my power to.

When my divine family abandoned me, the mortals took me in. I choose them over the gods any day.

|
3

My worshipers are valuable to me. They are the only ones I have left.
|
|
4
|
Despite my circumstances, I will do everything I can to protect other deities from suffering the same fate as I have.

I have come to appreciate the peaceful, quiet life of a mortal. Anyone who disturbs it will pay.

Flaw |
|
1
|
Admitting failures and mistakes is a thing only mortals do.
|
|
2
|
I don't understand the value of a single mortal life -- mortals can always make more mortals.
|
|
3

My temper makes me forget that I'm no longer a powerful being.
|
|
4
|
I hardly feel sorry after doing something 'wrong' to anybody.
