More god tiersEvery aspect


DEATH


Death works like the tarot card definition, which means change. A Death player would be seemingly hostile and/or frightening to behold at most times, though as a person they may be laid-back and slow, never associating with people and never acting unless provoked. A Death player would realize that not all change is good and be calm with things being as they are but at the same time, they realize change is necessary, and when the going gets tough, they will try for a quick breath of fresh air before immediately returning to fix whatever is broken. A Seer of Death can foresee events of upcoming changes and some of the more massive twists of events that could wreck the party, and Princes of Death can destroy things that would cause great change.

STAR


Sort of synonymous with a Hero of Wish, a Seer of Star will know the directions to anywhere they want to go, a Thief of Star will take locations for their own and Witches can literally allow certain things they wish to come true to occur, though with the rule (If it's a wish of great importance, it will take longer to happen, so it may be too late. The universe also has to allow this as nothing can happen paradoxically out of destiny).

SENSE


A Thief of Sense can enhance their own eyesight/hearing etc by taking it from others. Heroes of Sense come in 5 different ways. Their abilities wrap around only one of the 5 senses. Which one that is depends on your character.
