Positions
Gods in Training:
Once humans, these are people who have passed on from the world of the living and had proven in some way during their lives, that they have what it takes to be a god. They obtain a fraction of their god’s power, and begin learning and training under them. The last year before they surpass their god, they are sent to earth to prove themselves in the field. They must make a contract with a human, otherwise they cannot be seen, heard or influence the living world. Once a contract is made, they can be seen by their contracted human as well as other contracted humans and those who have been given special sight. They are able to speak to them as well, and influence the world of the living. They are influenced by their human’s heart, will and standing in light and darkness. Their contract can be broken by the human breaking it willingly, their human dying, or by the human telling an uncontracted human about them. When their contract is broken, they are sent back to the afterlife and lose their power, as well as their standing in becoming a god. They can sense supernatural things, whether it be from their godly world or the Kaiju. They can also sense when their human needs them, what their thinking and feeling at times. They become bound to the human, having to listen to their wishes while on the world of the living.
Contracted Humans:
These humans are chosen by a god in training, forming a contract with them. Once the contract is made, they become able to see the gods in training, the Kaiju and other supernatural things. They can hear them and physically touch them if need be. They gain the ability to sense their god in training as well, able to sense what their feeling and thinking or when their needed. They form a sort of telepathic link with them, able to summon them at will. They also gain the ability to command them, similar to a genie, able to tell them to do something and they have to do it. These humans are their anchors to the world of the living. If the human dies, the contract is broken. The contract can be broken if they tell an uncontracted human as well, or if they willingly break it. It is forbidden for a human and god in training to have any romantic relationship as well, which will result in immediate termination of the contract as well.
Kaiju:
Beings of darkness, also referred to as demons. They come from the underworld, and seek to gain entrance into the world of the gods, in order to destroy them and plunge the world into everlasting darkness. They are similar to gods in training, where they can only be seen and heard by contracted humans or those with special sight. However, unlike gods in training, they do not require a contract to influence the world of the living. Their very presence has a natural corrupting nature, which will influence living creatures around them. They seek out and kill gods in training, seeking to absorb their souls and power. In order to draw out these gods in training, they are known to target the humans they are contracted with. They can come in human like forms, or beast like forms, with a variety of powers just like the gods in training. However, they are weaker against light abilities and holy things, unable to control any powers in light.
