Divine Serpent man only?

Yes I know, I'm horrendously subtle in bringing up such things. Don't let one sneak by you.

so does anyone in this discussion have any specific designs to offer? not just good god designs but things that are thematic. I would love to offer one but Im drawing a blank on a Man deity who would start as 3 nature. Maybe "Green Man" (please dont laugh, there really is such a thing)

Well I think that the Divine Serpent is fine for Man.

Some things that are Irish in base that might be used for Man (since it's primarily Celtic).

Fomorians
Diedre of Sorrows

Perhaps not Pretenders as such, since I don't have enough mytholgical information on them. Just some things that might have some historical reference where they could be used as either pretenders or heroes.

... Hohoho Green Giant.

Hmm.. one new pretender did occur to me, an Eagle Spirit from native american mythology. It could be relatively weak physically but be flying and ethereal. Air and astral seem the most liekly choices for magic, though nature could also work. I was also thinking it might be thematic as well as fun to give it vastness-like ten province flying.

I smell an informal competition around the corner. Design a Nation specific pretender!

I was saving this one for a possible mod for Mictlan but couldn't find any images to use for it. I'll just toss it in here.

Coatlicue (nabbed from Aztec mythology)

Coatlicue, whose name means "Serpent Skirt," is a mighty earth demigoddess with powers over both life and death. Coatlicue's appearance is so horrible only the bravest of warriors dares face her wrath. She wears skirt made out of living snakes and around her neck lies a string of hearts torn from her victims. Long sharp claws adorn her hands and feet. Coatlicue is a goddess thirsty for human sacrifices.

Stats are yet to be balanced but she is a Titan pretender, size 5. Cause fear +8, Claw, Claw, Snake Skirt (Same stats as Medusa Snake Hair). Earth 3, Nature 1 and Death 1. Dominion 2. Cost 125.

I always thought Ermor should be able to use the dracolich....I know it turns into a bog mummy which is a Jotun thing, but maybe Ermors Version could turn into a lich? ;p

[Taqwus]

If I were being exceptionally silly I might suggest a pretender based on Ratatosk, for Vanheim or Jotunheim. Not terribly imposing...
