In the beginning there was only nothingness and the void. Eventually a burst of power beyond even cosmic or divine power and unlike anything the Universe shall ever see again exploded. From that explosion came Darkness then Light. Where Darkness and Light met created Chaos. This chaos created Primordial cosmic beings from which the Titans would come from. About the same time from Light sprang Celestial entities which would come to be known as Angels. Some of these angels were corrupted by Chaos because of the whispers of Darkness and became what would later be called Demons. Primordials represented order. Light represented peace, Chaos represented chaos, and Darkness simply wanted balance with the light. When stars offered light and energy, Darkness made sure some would fall to black voids. When life sprang, Darkness ensured Death followed. And so began the ever unwinding universe.
It is believed that all stories of creation are true to some extent and that different races of humanity, though the same genetically, as the same "blue print" would be used, originate from different creations of divine beings. Different continents being created, moved, and destroyed as well as different worlds all together and other dimensions parallel to the one we know can account for many of these stories. But all is hidden from mortal sight and comprehension.
Angels
ArchAngels are primordial beings of light that sprang from the original Light of the universes creation. They are mostly mysterious beings even to other angels and rule heaven and direct its movements. Their power has never been truly seen but are said to rival that of their Primordial cosmic cousins making them more powerful than even the Titans. ArchAngels then went on to create beings in their image which would make up the heavenly host. After the rebellion and corruption in Eden created by the corrupted ArchAngels Lucifer and Samael the ArchAngels quit creating seeing even themselves susceptible to corruption and began working to repair the damage and find a means to end the Chaos. The heavenly host is made up of many different angel. The angels that fell were called Grigori and were of the most powerful created, they were meant to be the guardians of man. But the most well know are simply Seraphim, Higher Angels, and regular Angels with specific types being more honorifics or titles than a separate species. Lucifer would follow the lead of Samael who twisted the first humans into demons, in creating demons himself though of his own Grigori brothers as well as human souls after that.
Titans
The First Generation Titans were born to Gaea and Ouranos near the beginning of creation. Ouranos had earlier imprisoned his elder children, the Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires, in Tartarus because of his respective contempt and fear of them. Gaea was outraged by the treatment of her sons and conspired with Kronos, the boldest of the Titans, to attack his father and punish him for his cruelty. Using a scythe, Kronos ambushed Ouranos and slashed him into thousands of pieces. Fresh from his victory, Kronos seized supremacy for his brothers and sisters with himself as their leader. He took his sister Rhea as his queen and ruled for countless eons. Mankind was first created in his reign and it was later called their "Golden Age". Like his father before him, Kronos grew into a corrupt tyrant along with many of the Titans.
Eventually, Kronos learned that he was destined to be overthrown by his own offspring just as he had usurped his father. To evade his fate, Kronos would devour his five elder children before a desperate Rhea saved her sixth child, Zeus by substituting a stone for his father to consume. Raised in secrecy, Zeus would grow to adulthood and free his siblings to wage war against Kronos and his subjects. After eleven years of battle, the younger immortals were victorious and Kronos was cast down to Tartarus with those who fought beneath him. As the gods are immortal when Zeus saved them they were fully grown. Zeus used the scythe to slice Kronos into thousands of pieces just as he had done to his father. The Titans have rose from Tartarus 3 times before and all three times with the help of Demi-gods and heroes they have been pushed back.
Gigantes
The Gigantes were not born until after the gods won the first Olympian War and took the throne from Kronos. While it was originally Gaea's idea for the gods to defeat her own children, the Titans, she grew unhappy with the way the gods ruled and hence gave birth to a new set of children, the Gigantes.Each Gigantes was born and bred specifically to oppose one of the Olympian gods, to usurp that god's domain. The King of the Giants was Porphyrion, the anti-Zeus, and he made an official declaration of war on the Olympians by kidnapping their queen, Hera. It was prophesied that only a god and demigod working together could defeat this threat to Olympus, so Zeus called upon his own son Hercules to help win this war, called the Gigantomachy.One by one, the Gigantes fell and all were killed except Aristaios, who was turned into a dung beetle by Gaea so the giant might be safe from the wrath of Olympus. The only way to get rid of a Giant is for a god and demigod to work together against the Giant.
Greek Gods
The six elder Greek gods and goddesses were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus, because they were the sons and daughters of the two rulers of the Titans: Kronos and Rhea. Fearing his children would overthrow him in the same way he had done to his own father, Kronos devoured his first two sons and his three daughters after they where born. Hestia first, then Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. He would have devoured Zeus as well, but Rhea, unable to bear the pain of losing another child and seeing her husband now for the monster he was, entered into an alliance with Gaea, smuggled her son away to safety, and gave her husband a rock instead to devour. After years in hiding, Zeus was finally old enough and strong enough to overthrow his father. He returned to Kronos' palace to free his siblings who, being immortals, remained alive and undigested within their father. Using a mixture of mustard and nectar, Zeus freed his family by smuggling the concoction to Kronos and forcing him to regurgitate his children.
Having freed his siblings, as well as the Hekatonkheires and the Cyclopes whom Kronos had re-imprisoned in Tartarus, Zeus led a rebellion against the Titans. In gratitude, the Cyclopes forged the Big Three's symbols of power: the Master Bolt, the Trident, and the Helm of Darkness, while the sheer strength of the Hekatonkheires proved to be a great advantage against the Titan army.The final blow was delivered when Zeus, using his father's own scythe, cut Kronos into a thousand pieces and dropped them in Tartarus where he would never rise again. This marked the end of the Titan age and started the Olympian age.The Olympians have been challenged many times for their control of the world, but they have always managed to stabilize their rule, often with the help of their children, the demigods. This is exemplified when the Giants rebelled against the gods, and Hercules, the son of Zeus, helped them vanquish the Giants.
Zeus married his sister Hera, and subsequent children ― Ares, Hephaestus, Hebe, Eileithyia, and Enyo ― followed. From affairs the other gods and goddesses were created. However, it was never stated when Aphrodite was born from Ouranos' remains in the sea. She may not have formed until Zeus and his siblings were fully grown, harmonizing some myths which say she is a daughter of Zeus. If a Greek god comes before their Roman demi-god children, they will change to their Roman counterpart. If both a Roman and Greek Demi-god child is present before them, they will shift back and fourth.
Roman Gods
Though belonging to the same race of the Greek gods, the Roman gods as numerous differences of their original counterparts due to the more formal and serious vision that the Romans had from them. Due to being seen as more mysterious and dedicated to their roles than the Greek gods, they do not visit their demigod offspring nor mortals very often, nor have many children with mortals, unlike that of their Greek forms. The Roman version of the Greek gods are also more skilled in the ways of combat, and seem to care more about honor than personal code, matching with the Roman culture. Some Roman gods do not even have a Greek aspect, being born within the Roman religion. However, even the original gods can have distinct behaviors on their Roman form.
Though they are essentially the same as the Greek god pantheon there are minor yet distinct changes and their form is dependant on who is interacting with them (I.E. Greek Demi-god = Greek God, Roman Demi-god= Roman God) as well as their location. There are exclusive Roman Gods as well like Bellona, Janus, Lupa, Pomona, and Terminus. There are gods that are not changed at all nature wise for their aspect is universal like Aphrodite/Venus. If a Roman god comes before their greek demi-god children, they will change to their Greek counterpart. If both a Roman and Greek Demi-god child is present before them, they will shift back and fourth.
Egyptian Gods
The Egyptian gods are primeval forces that were once worshiped by the Ancient Egyptians. The gods are also created entities, like humans, but are more powerful. They serve as a bridge between the natural world and the human world. Known as the age of the gods, the story of the Egyptian gods is a long and complicated one. According to most versions, Ra was the first god to emerge from the eternal chaos, raising with him the first land mass from the ancient ocean and shining the light of the Sun across creation. This act gave way to the birth of other gods and living things, and Ra ruled as king of the gods. Trouble arose, however, when it was prophesied that Geb and Nut would have a child who would be the next king. Though the couple loved each other dearly and greatly desired children of their own, Ra out of fear decreed that Nut could never bear a child during any day of the year. Defying Ra, Nut devised a loophole, resulting in the creation of the Demon Days, and gave birth to Osiris, Horus, Set, Isis, and Nephthys. For their disobedience, Nut and Geb were forced apart by Shu . At some point, these siblings were reborn into new hosts. In their new lives, Osiris and Isis marry one another and Set and Nephthys also marry. Horus became the unborn son of Isis and Osiris. At some point, Nephthys gives birth to a son by Set, Anubis. Claiming she does not want him to know his father, she asks Osiris to raise him.
At about this time, the chaotic being Apophis begins to attack Ra, who is god of the sun and therefore the source of the life and creation he so hates. The gods rushed to defend him and Sekhmet became the Eye of Ra. Ra soon realized that Sekhmet was too aggressive and violent so he appointed Bast,the goddess of felines, as his new Eye. Set became his loyal lieutenant. Their combined efforts repelled Apophis' attacks, and Ra was able to continue his rule unharmed. Isis, however, desiring to see her husband become the king of gods, tricked Ra into telling her his Secret Name. Using this new found power, she forced him to retreat to the heavens and Osiris took his place, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecy. This enraged Set, and out of jealousy he tricked Osiris on his birthday, trapping him in a golden sarcophagus. He also attempted to murder Isis and an unborn Horus, but was foiled by the intervention of his wife, Nephthys. Horus, once grown, managed to avenge his father by defeating Set and taking back the throne of the gods. Osiris, though unable to return to the living world, was restored to authority as the Lord of the Dead.
As Egyptian dynasties past, the gods continued to host humans, particularly humans with the Blood of the Pharaohs, since they are very suitable to contain the essence of a god. On rare occasions, a god is able to become one with their host, essentially becoming one being that has neither the god or the human in control, but rather a combination of the two working in perfect harmony. This is said to be extremely rare and only happened with mortals that have the blood of the pharaohs.
Norse Gods
The Norse Gods are a pantheon of deities central to all accounts of Norse mythology. The principal pantheon of the Norse gods is the Aesir, whom are connected to power and conflict, while a second pantheon comprises the Vanir, whom are associated with cultivation and fertility. In Norse mythology, the two clans waged war against each other, ultimately resulting in the eventual unification of the two pantheons. Odin, also referred to as the All-Father, is the third chief of the Aesir tribe of Norse gods and one of the most prominent figures in Scandinavian mythology. He is the god of wisdom, poetry, war, death, divination and magic. He is the patron of rulers, wanderers, and outcasts. Odin was born to an Aesir god Bor and a female jotunn, Bestla. Along with his brothers, Vil and Ve, he slew the Father of the Giants, Ymir, and from his body, created one of the Nine Worlds, the World of Humans - Midgard. Then, the brothers formed first humans from two tree trunks, and placed them in Midgard, surrounded by a fence to protect them from the inhabitants of Utgard. The Norse Gods watch over the nine realms maintaining order for their children and followers.
Daeva Gods
There are many gods and beliefs involving this pantheon but the best way to describe it is to simply to give examples of the primary deity within it also most famous:
Brahma, the Creator
Brahma is the first member of the Hindu Trinity and is “the Creator” because he periodically creates everything in their universe.
Vishnu, the Preserver
Vishnu is the second member of the Hindu Trinity. He maintains the order and harmony of their universe, which is periodically created by Brahma and periodically destroyed by Shiva to prepare for the next creation. Vishnu is worshipped in many forms and in several avatars (incarnations). Vishnu is an important, somewhat mysterious god. Less visible than nature gods that preside over elements (such as fire and rain), Vishnu is the pervader — the divine essence that pervades the universe. He is usually worshipped in the form of an avatar.
Shiva, the Destroyer
Shiva is the third member of the Hindu Trinity, tasked with destroying their universe in order to prepare for its renewal at the end of each cycle of time. Shiva’s destructive power is regenerative.
Ganesh, the Remover of Obstacles
Ganapati, also known as Ganesha, is Shiva’s first son. Lord Ganapati, who has an elephant head, is the Remover of Obstacles.
Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning
Saraswati is the consort of Brahma the Creator and is worshipped as the goddess of learning, wisdom, speech, and music.
Lakshmi
Lakshmi is the goddess of good fortune, wealth, and well-being. As the consort of Vishnu, she plays a role in every incarnation. (She is Sita, wife of Rama; Rukmini, wife of Krishna; and Dharani, wife of Parashu Rama, another avatar of Vishnu.)
Durga Devi
Durga Devi is a powerful, even frightening goddess who fights fiercely in order to restore dharma (moral order). Yet, while Durga is terrifying to her adversaries, she is full of compassion and love for her devotees.
Avatars of Vishnu
The literal meaning of the word avatar is “descent,” and it’s usually understood to mean divine descent. Avatars are savior forms of a god that descend to earth to intervene whenever help is needed to restore dharma (moral order) and peace. Two of Vishnu’s ten avatars are Rama and Krishna.
Indra, the King of Heaven and lord of the gods
Indra wields a thunderbolt and is a protector and provider of rain.
Surya, the sun
Surya (or Soorya) is a golden warrior arriving on a chariot pulled by seven white horses.
Agni, the fire god
Agni holds a special place in ritual to this day as the sacrificer; the sacrifice (the ritual fire and the offerings made into it); and the witness to all rites.
Hanuman, the monkey king and devoted servant
Hanuman is featured in the great Hindu epic the Ramayana. He earned his path to deification by performing feats of strength, devotion, and courage while helping Rama (an avatar of Vishnu) in countless exciting incidents.
These are the primary focused divine beings. Any mythological based god or pantheon not mentioned here can be assumed to have existed and thus a demi-god child from them is possible. Feel free to create a character originated from other divine beings not mentioned here.
