You have the service of three cultists loyal to your cult. These cultists can be attendants or messengers, and one might be a majordomo. Your cultists are commoners who can perform mundane tasks for you or prepare rituals, but they do not fight for you, they will follow you into obviously dangerous areas (such as dungeons), and will not leave even if they are frequently endangered or abused, as they see you as their Deity.
Suggested Characteristics
Your character's upbringing as a unclearly recognized deity has instilled in them a distinct demeanor that reflects their perceived authority and reverence. They may carry themselves with confidence and poise, accustomed to the deference shown to them by their followers. Alternatively, they might display a sense of uncertainty or discomfort with their newfound role, struggling to reconcile their own identity with the expectations placed upon them.

---|---|
1 | I exude confidence and authority, accustomed to being treated with reverence by my followers. My commanding presence demands attention and respect from those around me. |
2 | Despite my outward façade of authority, I harbor deep-seated doubts about my own worthiness and authenticity. I struggle to reconcile my true identity with the deity status imposed upon me, leading to feelings of uncertainty and insecurity. |
3 | I lead with charm and charisma, genuinely caring for my cult's well-being. While I may use their beliefs to my advantage, I see them as individuals deserving of protection and guidance, not just pawns in my schemes. |
4 | While I may outwardly assume the role of a deity, inwardly, I grapple with the weight of impostor syndrome. I struggle with the paradox of leading others while harboring doubts about my own legitimacy. |
5 | I embrace the fervent devotion of my followers, fully believing in the cult's teachings and ideology. Despite occasional doubts about my own abilities, I can't help but wonder if there might be some truth to the belief in my divine nature. |
6 | I exploit the adoration of my followers to further my own agenda. I am pragmatic and opportunistic, using my questionable deity status to gain power and influence in the world. However, there are moments when I wonder if perhaps there is more to my status. |
7 | I am occasionally plagued by inner turmoil and conflict, torn between the allure of divine authority and the unsettling realization that it may all be a sham. |
8 | Outwardly, I maintain a façade of unwavering piety and devotion. I go through the motions of religious observance to maintain appearances, all the while questioning whether I am truly blessed by divine favor or merely deceiving myself and others. |
