Thisis my deity:

i have a few deities in training, and a whole lot of similar things.
Holly- {Deity in training} of Winter
July- {Deity in training} of Summer
Star- {Deity in training} of Daytime.
they are born of deities, and then trained until they are ready to take over for their parents, or become a new deity entirely. Then the previous deity becomes mortal, although ages slowly, and lives out their life in a retirement group.

On the other hand, The Elementals aren't deities. But they are powerful, and have been worshiped in the past. These entities only have kids when they are ready to die. As soon as an Elemental is born, the previous Elemental of that element dies. Elementals can have kids with any humanoid species, or other elementals. There is a 50% chance that their kid won't be the next Elemental of that element. when i refer to their ages, it's not the amount of years they lived, but the age their body is. The current ones are
Yukio- Water, 16
Cimbeline- Fire, 17
Bion- Life, 18
Persephone- Death, 18
Asani- Chaos, 7
Serenity- Peace, 14
Caligo- Darkness, 16
Ciana- Light, 14
Amaterasu- Air, 8
Laurel- Earth, 10

The deities in my world are called Curators, immortal beings who maintain the natural order of the world. Each Curator is designated to a certain concept, like creation, souls, light, time, fate, gold etc. They're not worshipped like any other god because their existence isn't known to humans. When almost of the Curators were killed in a certain event in history, it caused a major disorder in the world and reality itself became distorted. The only Curators that remain are the Curator of Souls, Lady Death, and the Curator of Light, who disappeared off the edge of the worldand was assumed to have died.

So this is my character. The Guardian Star. They’re intersex and genderqueer (not important, but a fun fact) and they created the universe, humans and Helpers (which are basically angels.) they’re ancient (to give an idea, they started the Big Bang), but they’re only about 25 in human years. So basically Zora aging on steroids lmao. They let everyone they created know that they exist every hundred years or so, but they weren’t worshiped super hard (which is fine by them, they don’t like to interfere unless something like a natural disaster or genocide is going to happen) until the fifties, which is when things went south. Megachurches started popping up and claiming that the Guardian Star was some malevolent, jealous entity that you had to be protected from, ESPECIALLY if you’re trans (apparently they want to be the only trans/nby person/goddex, supposedly) They are quite fem actually, if my main characters hadn’t grown up worshiping Guardian (their nickname) they would have thought they were a she. They have a daughter (actually their sister’s daughter from their home universe, sister couldn’t take care of her so they took the kid in. Not sure how old the daughter actually is, but is about 7 in human years. Anyway, things go so south that in modern times (when my story is set) Lune (one protagonist, transfem) is actually getting conversion “therapy” from school. Star (other protagonist, cis girl) sometimes gets looped in, but always refuses to do anything but tell Lune how pretty she is and compliment her, much to the principal’s annoyance. (Yes they get together in the end lol)
