You get to make four Chaos gods to replace the originals, but they can't be 1 to 1 rip-offs. Example:
>god of death and ice
>god of pain and suffering
>god of fear and insanity
>god of greed and fire
Which would you do instead?
Inb4 depends on setting/I wouldn't change them/should only be one god/other shitposts
>god of death and ice
Good, makes sense.
>god of pain and suffering
Eeh I'm not to sure about that one
>god of fear and insanity
Also makes sense
>god of greed and fire
Doesn't make sense, greed means harvesting things and keeping them for yourself. God of Hunger and fire would make more sense
as for myself:
>God of entropy and decay
not the "disease" kind of decay, more like the decay that comes with the passing of time. It is also the god of "change" and chaos in it's purest.
>god of anger and war
It's a Khorne ripoff because it makes sense, fuck you
>god of fear, insanity, forbidden knowledge and secrets
nothing needed to be add here. Would also have the knowledge
>god of pride, lust, gluttony
Mostly related to the god of "I do whatever the fuck I want". Complete selfishness, disregarding the laws, traditions and social contract. Both the hedonist sex addict and the prideful political backstabber can be worshippers of this god
I should've just made this saying "the Chaos gods are shit, these are better", and actually had some responses, but I forgot actual creative-leaning threads are a no-go here now.
>Tzeentch in Nurgle cosplay
>Khorne
>Tzeentch
>Slaanesh
Wow.
yes indeed
>Lloron, god of despair,love and deep sea
>Yrael, god of ambition,worship and rulership
>Tammat, god of desire, gluttony, and greed
>Eibon, god of fear, treachery, betrayal, and corruption
Those are actually pretty good. I didn't even think of a sea-theme.
You posted this at 4pm on a Thursday. What did you expect?
How about making them all gods of madness?
>god of delusion
False visions often lead men astray.
>god of obsession
Even good men can do evil when too fixated on a prize.
>god of paranoia
When every hand is set against you it is no sin to defend yourself.
>god of depression
Why even bother?
>timezones are the same everywhere
God of lies and obfuscation.
None of the chaos gods represent this, have a god that is all about promoting ignorance and misinformation.
>god of spite and revenge
>god of envy and greed
>god of fear and isolation
>god of honour and pride
all the reasons for intelligent beings to go to war
the first one styles itself as a victim, skinny and weak, that strikes back against stronger bullies
the second god is a farmer, war being just one other industry to exploit
the third is like a guard or wall, all about protection
the fourth is a trophy hunter

>the God of things known, which want to be known

> what is canon Tzeentch
Fuck user.
EST is the baseline of the internet.
>god of delusion
>god of obsession
Slaanesh.
>god of paranoia
Tzeench, basically.
>god of depression
Nurgle, explicitly.
> what is canon Tzeentch
The god of change, magic and knowledge?
Tzeench followers may be manipulative, but their goal is the opposite of ignorance and lies, they want the truth.
is the green one a weeb god?
>katana
>bamboo hat
>trap familiar
Pretty sure he's the God of schemes and lies as well.
Still figuring out a fourth of this pantheon.
Lord Weird
>Possible Names: Lauganon, Golmahr, Glebion
>Domains: Confusion, Nonsense, Dementia, Delusion, Traumata, Hermeticism, Isolation
Tiamat
>Possible Names: Karakha, Marag, Kirrtou, Ragme
>Domains: Hunger, Thirst, Starvation, Withdrawal, Scarcity, Deprivation, Powerlessness, Exhaustion
Nightmare
>Possible Names: Maraukho, Lebionas, Khromman, Khorkhon
>Domains: Panic, Fear, Abandonment, Paranoia, Shame, Exposure
But the Chaos Gods are much better than the dumbass gods you made up senpai. You sound narcissistic as fuck. The Chaos Gods presented are much more encompassing.
>he believes this
Except the Chaos gods I gave encompass everything that the originals do and more, so go fuck yourself, senpai.
>he's right
Ha, don't be a fag all your life, son.
Weird and Nightmare are way too close in domains.
You could go for something more aggressive, like a deity of slavery, domination, and control?
Everyone knows the English language internet is crap until the Americans wake up/get off work. EST denotes the start (and bulk) of that process
God of the Unknown (and Luck)
God of Primalism (and Freedom)
God of Fear (and Power)
God of Defeat (and Triumph)
All would have two forms, eldritch monsters and cute girls
>All would have two forms, eldritch monsters and cute girls
I'm sold.
Classic mindset of the ignorant Americunt.
These are pretty sweet.
>God of Fortune, who always gives you what you want, punishing you in the process and increasing his influence
>God of Misfortune, who puts you through trials that make you stronger, and more aligned to him
Misfortune and Fortune always appear together, and look like identical twins, so you never know which one you're dealing with.
>God of Hubris, the ultimate darwinian, who bids his followers to kill, manipulate, and usurp others, even each other, to become stronger, and only the strongest are ever given a reward, though all believe it is going to be them
>God ot Humility, who gives everyone a place at his right hand in exchange for washing away and consuming their identity
>Seirios the Chaos God of Oppression, Conquest, and Order.
Seirios is depicted as a massive golden cube, suspended above the horizon, each plane of the cube has a face carved upon it, stern and kingly. The cube boils from heat with in, and strands of molten gold hang downwards before morphing into burning chains. When dealing with mortals, Seirios is honest of what following him entails. For the price of complete and miserable obedience until death, Seirios will offer purpose, power, and safety from the eclectic, meaningless nature of the universe.
Not very "Chaotic", but then, neither are the current gods. Can maybe try to think up more if inspiration strikes and you anons like it.
Hi guys
The only god we would ever need
>God of pledges & sacrifice
She can grant you whatever you need accomplish, revenge, a duty, a bet... All you have to do is grant her something in return.
>God of passion and madness
Careful not to dedicate your life to something, or you may just replace yourself with it.
>God of Authority and Power
Grow strong in body or influence, he does not care which. All that matters to him is that you are the pinnacle.
>God of Prosperity and Self
She will grant you fortune neverending, and suffering to those around you. Who needs anyone else, after all?
I like this. It’s similar to the original but streamlined conceptually
Urshiel the god of Pestilence/Growth
Sa'Hamiel the god of Pain/War
Lokiel the god of Plots
Ch'Adiel the god of Pleasure
I would post pics & updated symbols but my tablet broke.
Kinda hard to get out of that mindset when everyone won't shut up about us.
They really don't, also "god of insanity" sounds like something a 14 year old would make up.
Mogos,The Shaper
>the expression of the sheer mutability and change Chaos can impose realspace and the warp - he is the Shaper of matter, and the ultimate anarchic infliction of disorder on the order of that matter. His daemons are brute things who pummel and macerate realspace and its frail things into raw formlessness with great hammers, and Mogos himself is a vast idiot blacksmith god, sitting in the belly of a furnace that melts all meaningful things into formless molten slag, frantically hammering insane and blasphemous things without knowing or reasoning or understanding on an anvil made from the platonic ideal of stability, the only thing that can withstand such torment.
His number is 0, and he bears no colours, but his daemonspawn and their armament appear as though crudely hewn from raw stone.
Yrrow, The Whispered One
>this cold and wretched thing is in every shadow ever cast, in every night that has ever fallen, and stalks the blackness behind every sphere of the void. Yrrow is the reflection in the warp of the near universal fear in sentient beings of the dark. And when each fledgling race came into the maturity of that sentience and madness and depravity began to take their inevitable root, whether that fed Yrrow or was his work, who can say? Yrrow's daemons echo the nightmare things that people the bowels of the galaxy's oceans, with yawning, needle-toothed mouths, and exhibiting ghastly willowisp luminescence in their cold and dropping appendages. The Whispered One itself has never been seen, and truly, in a metaphysical sense, cannot ever be seen.
Its number is 2. Its colour is black.
Gonna write the other two in another post because I'm phoneposting scum and this is hard.
Sar Serakk, The Primordial Serpent
>in human mythology, a recurring symbol is the creation of the ordered cosmos after the slaying of the primordial dragon, or serpent of the chaotic, disordered, precosmic state, with the stuff of the new cosmos sometimes being the dismembered body of that beast. This story is a lie and a sham. It is a comforting pap the weak species of humanity feeds itself so that it may foster a denial that they were once at the mercy of fangs and claws and the omnipresent drive of all organic life to consume. Once, even the ancestors of the so-called God emperor of man, millions of years removed, scuttled at the feet of tyrant lizard kings. Later, pitiful ape-men fell prey to cat and hyena and crocodile, and on countless other worlds countless other sentient beings played out the same fatal charade of nature. Most sentient beings of realspace would claim in hubris that they are no longer haunted by the shadows of monsters and will never again live in dread of their thundering footsteps, but the lie is writ large on every parsec of the Sar Serakk's infinite coils, winding through the warp. True, though, the old serpent's influence on the mortal races is waning, and his eyes are clouded with cataracts the size of galaxies. He has no hosts, and his daemons are beasts that prey on mortals, but no mere animals they, but the manifestation of the defillement of every virtue of civilization and humanity and dignity that the children of Terra have ever achievement, and the reduction of that species, and any other that pretends at imposing these falsehoods on the universe, to so much animal meat. Just as their master's influence wanes, the low extinction of the great beast to end all beasts, the forms of his daemons resemble the behemoth creatures of ancient times.
His number is 4, his colour is red.
One more, time god to contrast matter god.
the Gods of War, Pestilence, Famine and Death
pic related is brother war
Zursz, The Lord Of Always Never
>Zursz is a future of desolation and a history of nothing. He is a broken mirror reflecting a multitude of times of the same point- and out of that paradox there is no time. He remembers every doom to come, and only when they come to pass do the great teeth of broken glass contort into a terrible smile, knowing only then that he planed its seeds in the past. Zursz counts stasis as his province. His daemons are towering stilt-men of jagged mirror-glass, and some are bewinged, bedight in veils, and bearing scythes and sandglasses and sundials, like angels of death and passing years.
His number is 12. His colour is white.
Pls rspond ;_;
I like these two.
>the mighty Chad'iel is fucking chicks on a cosmic scale
It's not fair
The Blind Creator -
worshipped as a fertility god in some places, but really is a god of rampant evolution, and pure creation. Is utterly unaware of it's followers, or indeed anything at all, spawning ever more insane "children" endlessly, which are mangled and useless and howl for their own deaths 90% of the time, or are perfect creatures (of whatever kind) the other 10%. Her worshippers hope to be saved from her by worshipping her, but it is a fool's hope. Her lesser daemons are the rejected, her unfortunate spawn which are unfit, which take out their aggression for being made wrong on the mortal world, and her greater daemons are the perfects, creatures of sublime beaty with the cunning of an apex predator, which see the mortal realm as beneath them, and worthy of destruction, for not being as perfect as they are.
Four gods for the four forces.
Shagragruthizasir - Very background role, it's specific portfolio is unknown to most. The oldest chaos god.
Argranaxitastrug - conglomerate being composed of every chaos mage's dead soul.
Interaxidastricrugyl - conglomerate being composed of every chaos psyker's soul.
Gyngagchataxil - conglomerate being composed of every chaos space marine's soul.
There are seven different known chaos cults, each of which attributes different things to the different beings. The things they all have in common here follow.
>The 3 conglomerate beings play a flute, a drum, and a serpent-horn.
>The 3 conglomerate beings are much younger than the other chaos god.
>Something will happen if the 3 conglomerate beings stop playing their instruments, and it will be bad for the universe.
>The eye of chaos is prominent.
>Souls are always both entering and exiting the conglomerate beings, yet never the other deity.
>Shagragruthizasir is said to be in a state similar to that of the emperor, from which both it, and the emperor will one day awaken for a final utterly decisive and climactic battle.
>the 3 younger deities change from male to female regularly
>In-fighting between the deities is commonplace and is meant as purity testing and weeding out the weak
>The 4 deities are simply the 4 deities we know of, there are in fact nearly infinite numbers of chaos deities
Truth is stagnation and the lie is change. Sorcery is a lie. He's literally the primordial lie. Khorne worshippers call him the Liar God. He schemes. He manipulates. It's the entire basis of JUST AS PLANNED.
A greater daemon of Tzeentch literally is just a lie incarnate. That's what makes Magnus so tragic, he was dedicated to truth, yet he's become a servant of the greatest Liar in the universe. It's why Tzeentch has so much fun trolling Ahriman, who rejects lies and seeks knowledge.
>Which would you do instead?
Just use original.
>Which would you do instead?
Go with the classics. Yes I'm a lazy bastard, I know.
So, uh, Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch and Slaanesh?
I like you 2x2 rubric. This has potential.
his nurgle is actually tzeench, nurgle isn't about decay as much as he is about the things not changing
that's why even his lowest servants are still tough as fuck and basically immortal
Tzeench would be the god of decay more than him because decay is, after all, a form of change
While nurgle's followers are decaying in some way, they also stay that way (rotting horribly) until they croak, so no real change going on
lemme try this
>god of uncertainty, courage and desperation
Any time you question what you were meant to be or to do, everytime you hesitate, it grows in power
That time you didn't talk to the girl you had a crush on?you were feeding it. They mean that you either act or you don't even think about doing it.
And when there are a thousand men serving under you, it takes a lot of courage to not hesitate while you gamble their lives away with the enemy
>god of survival, war, cowardice, and treason
No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. And when it's all up in the air, bullets all around you, missiles flying over your head? when that happens, it's every man for himself and stabbing your best friend in the back is the only way to make sure he doesn't do it to you first
>god of despair, kindness, and sacrifice
A desperate man is a man without any hope, But to some, it's in their greatest time of need that they find it in themselves to help others. But above all, a desperate man is a man that has nothing. And even a man who has nothing can still offer his life.
yes that last line was stolen, but it fits and sounds cool as fuck as well
>god of decadence, carnal pleasure, love, and life (in the childbirth sense, not in the metaphysical sense)
The pleasures of flesh are a temptation, but a necessary one. Be it the purest pleasure or true affection, it's only natural to crave it...
Just be careful not to give in to darker and darker thoughts...
I tried to give them good parts too
>god of betrayal
Feeds off of love, actively removing it from the universe.
>god of murder
Demands that all deaths have an author.
>god of rape
Self-explanatory, all children born from rape are his.
>god of theft
Also the god of business transactions, mafias, and lawyers.
Based off chaos being anything opposed to order
>god of deception and conspiracy
>god of conflict and envy
>god of hunger and addiction
>god of complacency and sloth
T. Knowledge gap analysis
Tthese area the only good ones. The rest are bad. And not Michael Jackson bad, just plain bad.
>God of Doubt
Technically the weakest, as his nature makes worship paradoxical. He feeds on faith towards other forces being lost.
>God of Savagery
Basically an amalgamation of Khorne and Slaneesh. Forgo higher thought. Fuck, kill, eat, defecate, Repeat.
>God of Greed
I know other anons have already said it, but you need to cover the "upper class" of evil. The kind that perfectly willing to wait, and even help out the forces of good if it means furthering their entirely self-centered plots.
Effectively Not!Tzeench, sorry.
>God of of being the fourth god.
He's there.
What about the God of Loss?
Ti'Buck the god of unborn
There is but one god of chaos, plebeian scum.
The Lie, god of excessive dishonesty
The Cheat, god of excessive pragmatism
The Gloat, god of excessive pride
The One, god of excessive self-interest
>chaos gods of fire and ice
nigga pls
God of Annoyance
God of Getting Annoyed too Easily (Mortal enemy to the god of annoyance)
God of Smugness
God of Bad Taste
>Genesis: The Creator. Fetid mother-father, creator-god. Ever-fertile, and ever pregnant, constantly spawning new Demons, large and small, to fill the cosmos.
>Preservation: The Obsessive Protector. Loves all living things equally. ALL LIVING THINGS, and they will ALL get allong, and not harm one another, if it is the last thing he does. Sick of his beloveds killing his other beloveds, he's determined that the problem is their seperate-ness, and has resolved to put them all back together, mind body and soul, so they can get along and all coexist in harmony once again.
>Omega: God of Endings. All things must end, and oblivion is necessary to make way for new things to be created by Genesis.
Omega and _______ are at constant odds with one another, and Genesis refuses to take sides.
But entropy is order...
>Obsessively brings himself up in every conversation
>"Hurr everyone won't shut up about us!"
weird to let people work instead of me
Your gods are shit.
God of good will and bad luck (fire)
God of Plenty (always satisfied) (earth)
God of rush and uncritical thinking (wind)
God of multitasking (none are finished, water)
God of hunger, deep want and need overcoming all else, greed and selfishness for everything from food to money and power.
God of self hate, eternal thoughts of your past failures and the pain it causes, opposed to hunger because of the doubt and weakness it breeds.
God of truth, visions of the future breed a melancholy and sad acceptance that everyone is doomed to die alone.
God of lies, illusions and disillusions leading to joy and pleasure, wasting away or succumbing to disease while dreaming of the wonders yet to come.
ty. other religion.
Hows about a god of
>Envy
>Greed
>Ignorance
And a above all curiosity
Really works off of the anxiety of investigation and how a person wants something because someone else has it, or wants to try and taste something because they've never tasted it.
Like OCD cranked upto 10, but with hoarder/clepto necessities. Think, a toddler or the teething age of a baby where they want everything not theirs until they have it or someone else has it, and they want to try and look at everything, smell everything, touch and taste everything.
>Colours
Tan and Orange?
Imagine a wrambling berserker crossing a battlefield for the sole purpose of their inquisitive nature SCEAMING internally
>WHATS IN THAT TANK!? GOTTA OPEN THAT TANK!!
>WHAT DOES THE ELDAR FARSEER TASTE LIKE, ,WHAT DOES THEY LOOK LIKE!? GONNA RIP OFF THEIR ARMOUR, I MUST SEE! I MUST TASTE!!
>WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DEFENCE LINE?! I MUST SEE!! THEY CAN'T HIDE IT FROM ME FOREVER.
The overall theme though?
To try and try again to fill the hole in man's heard he may never fill. I can't think much on visual themes and god visualization mind you, i'm thinking a lot of faces, but also trinket and bauble heavy?
You call them chaos Gods?
0/10 would not pledge blood and souls to.
Chaos Hindu Trinity. Not bad.
Thanks user. The goal was gods people would actually turn to, trying to balance the good they can get against the bad. I'll have to remember them for future settings.
i like it, people forget that with all the chaos gods they do have lures
i have this 4 death gods called "the four perceptions of death" i dont have a name for them yet(cuz i suck at naming)
Death of the Body
Death of the Will
Death of the Mind
Death of the Soul
>God of consumption
Consume everything, take take take and never give. Hoard knowledge, power, equipment, whatever you can get your hands on. This is a God of greed, gluttony and selfishness.
Manifests as a black hole.
>God of dissemination
The last guys opposite. A God of sharing, give everything you have until there is nothing left of you. Spread forbidden knowledge, give arms to those who would use them, give everyone what they want, whether or not they need it.
Manifests as a perpetual super nova.
>The God of stasis
Maintain the status quo. Let nothing advance, let nothing change. Progress in anathema, to hell with the future, live in the present. Everything is perfect the way it is. A God of sloth, pride and ignorance.
Manifests as a red dwarf star.
>The God of anarchy
Tear it down. Rip it apart. Destroy what comes next. Chaos in its purest form. Help the rebels, then help those who rebel against them. A God of change, wrath and madness.
Manifests as a pulsar.
>god of idleness
>god of consumption
>god of loneliness
>god of anger
tfw I am god
So a few more years until you think up your own, then?
Paranoia an obsession aren't really all that different.
I like these so I'll expand on these a little.
>god of death and ice
A deity of darkness and cold, shrouded in shadows and silence. He watches the passing of all mortals, and abhors life in all its forms. His colours are pale blue and black.
>god of pain and suffering
A deity of torture and conflict, the mistress of scarification and anguish. She delights in all the hurt that mortals inflict on each other, their spite giving her strength. Her colours are red and white.
>god of fear and insanity
A trickster deity, spreading madness and terror wherever he can. His servants whisper to mortals in their nightmares, warping their minds. His colours are purple and silver.
>god of greed and fire
A deity of selfishness and consumption, a master of all heartlessness and avarice. He fans the flames of human egotism and causes societies to fall into immorality. His colours are green and gold.
I like the manifestations, but feel they'd be better as natural stellar formations with unnatural qualities. The ever exploding super nova is a good start, but the rest are a bit dull to be the manifestations of gods.
Id do a 4 horseman type deal if i had to do gods that represent something in the mortal realm
But when i make up gods theyre more lovecraftian leviathans that dwell in abyssal, but tangible places and represent a more primordial state of nature, highlighting the exploitive nature of man and the universe. No good deed goes unpunished, and one's willingness to exploit correlates directly to their success. "Good and evil" gods seem too petty for immortal, omnipotent beings
For naming gods and shit i always start with translations to Latin, arabic, hebrew, or something else if its more setting appropriate.
You could also derive names from archaic myths/religions, words, or societal practices.
>god of anger and war
>"Khorne ripoff"
Ares much? Rofl. Khorne is an Ares/Mars ripoff.
How about a god of destruction
but destruction like done by the forces of the nature
>Nurgle
I'm not seeing it, explain.
Alright
>God of Consumption
Manifests as a black hole surrounded by a cloud of colorful vapor. This gas, made from knowledge and matter, seemingly screams as it is pulled into the void. No matter how much the black hole consumes there is always more to take. Some who see this God in their dreams/visions sometimes report a faint violet light emanating from the core of the black hole, those foolish enough to look harder lose all sense of identity.
>God of Dissemination
This God manifests as a never ending super nova. It continuously expels burning gas that smothers or destroys anything caught in its path. It's roar is nearly deafening, but a sad wailing can be faintly heard by those who listen carefully. They often begin to wail themselves.
>God of Stasis
Manifests as a neutron star, white and hot but seemingly motionless. Though it is surrounded by meteors and clouds, nothing around it moves. A vision of this God is accompanied by deafening silence. The material around the star forms a pattern when viewed from certain angles, but those few who attempt to understand this pattern quickly go mad.
>God of Anarchy
Unlike its naturally occurring counterparts, this pulsar spins wildly. It's axis constantly shifts as its colors rapidly flicker. The star emits a cacophony of sounds. Though the jet of energy from the star points randomly, it never points towards the viewer. Some dreamers and oracles have attempted to move into its path, but they never succeed. Some become obsessed with this impossible task.
Hmm, these gods need better names/titles.
greed and fire could go hand in hand because fire wants to greedily spread and consume everything in its flames.
Now all we need is a version of the emperor based on Lord Rama and we've got everything we need for a Vedic40k
Were you guys not there for when Veeky Forums made a hindu-based 40k faction that was a place where all the goodness of the chaos gods went?
Three-Piece, God of Shapes
Fever, God of Heat
Fullbreed, God of Distances
Crown, God of Delusions
wut...sauce for Mahadev!
I actually WAS. Actively participated in quite a bit of that one... was fun, and thinking of that was part of what gave me the idea for an alternate-universe-40k based on the Vedas.. but instead of being 40k-but-good-because-shang-ri-la it'd be Vedas-but-grimdark-because-40k.
