Almost-but-not-quite-yet ascendant god

You are a divine being on the cusp of godhood. Just as you were about to ascend and shed your mortal form you realized how much you would miss mortality, and through a supernatural feat of willpower you managed to halt your ascension before it could complete. However, this means that you are now constantly stuck in a state of divine ascension, and it takes almost all your mental strength to stay in mortal form. It is worth it, though; frankly speaking, the divine realms are pretty boring.

POSSESSIONS:

- A glowing *Halo* around your head, you can dim it but never turn it off.

- A *Reliquary* dedicated to yourself, made by one of your followers.

- 1d6 *Pocket gods*.

ADVANCED SKILLS:

5 Language - Divine

3 Second Sight

3 Spell - Read Stars

3 Spell - True Seeing

2 Blessings (Knowledge about divine blessings, and ability to succesfully bless or consecrate)

2 Spell - Peace

2 Spell - Wall of Power

1 Spell - Shatter

1 Curses (Knowledge about divine cursesr, and ability to succesfully curse or desecrate)

SPECIAL

You need to stay ever vigilant - and awake - and devote a significant portion of your willpower to stave off your eventual ascension. You never need to sleep, though even for near-godly beings never sleeping is apparently not good for your general well-being. If you ever fall asleep, fall unconscious, or are reduced to 0 Stamina, roll Luck. If you fail, your concentration breaks and you instantly ascend to godhood - shedding your mortal form and traveling into the divine realms (yeah, roll up a new character).
