You are a divine being—a god, demigod, or shard of divinity—cloaked in mortal form. Perhaps you descended to the Material Plane to pursue a sacred mission, test your followers, or experience the trials of mortality. Your divine essence shapes your presence, granting you an aura that inspires awe or unease, but your mortal guise requires you to navigate the world as one of its inhabitants. Your portfolio (e.g., war, knowledge, nature) subtly influences your actions, and traces of your celestial origins linger in your words and deeds.
You are able to bend reality to your will with sufficient exertion. Your worshipers fuel your ability to bend fate and world around you.

- Feat:
Divine Aura
You can choose to radiate your divine nature, subtly affecting those around you. Mortals feel an inexplicable reverence, fear, or curiosity in your presence. You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion or Intimidation) checks when invoking your divine heritage or asserting your authority in matters related to your portfolio. However, at the DM’s discretion, this aura may draw unwanted attention from other divine agents, fiends, or those sensitive to supernatural presences.
Reality Shaper
Your worshipers fuel your ability to bend fate and world around you. You share a pool of "Reality Points" with all other beings with this Background. You have the ability to pull and shape the weave to your imagination. At the DM's discretion this will use one or multiple reality points. These points recharge 1d4 every dawn.
