*Raises hand* I'm in. If this character works, at least. I've nothing to go off of on what you want in characters, so. XD Tried my best. Let me know if it works or if I've got the totally wrong idea. Like I said, nothing to go off of before me.

Ever a god for dramatic appearances, Danives tends to show as... Well, whatever the hell that thing is, when materializing to mortal eyes. Or divine eyes, frankly. Otherwise, he -is- a shadow. Because, well. God of shadows.

Allegiance:
God

Personality:
Outside of his overly dramatic appearance, Danives is pretty casual as far as the whole 'powerful ancient spirit' thing goes. He likes games and puzzles of the mind, taunting and goading other spirits and mortals into playing his games, be they violent and bloody or simple riddles. As far as 'conversation' goes, he tends to be... Sarcastic and dry in humor.

Skills and Abilities:
As the God of Shadows and Patron of Assassins, it's only natural that Danives would hold capabilities suited to each roll. Shadows themselves bend to his whim, creating- if briefly- grand beasts of pure shadow. When materialized in the perception of mortals, he can cloak himself in those same shadows, becoming invisible to the eye. Should his name be invoked, he can go to and assist a worshipper with these capabilities. And of course, he can turn to shadow himself. Should combat against mortals or other spirits arise, he relies on long-standing skill with blades and the general nuisance of an ability to suddenly turn into shadow to survive and dish out the pain.

Backstory:
He bears the same general story as most God-Spirits might. He was neutral in the whole war against daddy gold, and once the dust settled, he took to taking worshippers under his wing. Though considering his shadowy nature and tendencies, his worshippers were... Not the most sunshine and daisies types. And so he became the patron to assassins everywhere. Not the largest group of followers, perhaps, but he's never been one to complain about numbers, and is quite -fond- of his mortal followers, often intervening in their affairs, both to assist them and get his own kicks and giggles.

Religion:
To his Worshippers, Danives requires no offerings, no daily prayer. He asks not that his followers abide to any strict code of conduct. They may live their lives as they choose, so long as they recognize his presence in their lives. But, should his name be invoked for help, for his ability, he required blood- Not of the servant, but of their quarry. Deaths made with Danives' power, are claimed by Danives himself. Like the Grim, he steals away the souls of the departed... Though rather than usher them to new life, Danives keeps them for his own uses, his own power.

Despite not requesting prayer or offerings, the number of Danives' followers remains in the low hundreds, causing the occult to take root in his worship. Prayers, minor sacrifices, things of that nature- All offered to him from his small group of mortals rather regularly.

Nation:
Due to the small number of his followers, no true nation lives under Danives. However, his followers are scattered throughout the world, and easily recognizable among the other mortal races. For while they physically do not change, their shadows are ever present- In the noon day sun, of the darkest of rooms, their shadows always loom. Should a man or woman turn their heart to Danives, they will find that their shadow takes on a life of its own, often reaching out to touch those around it, taking on a menacing, bestial appearance. And, with this shadow, comes the knowledge of assassins. All men under his gaze are capable assassins in their own right.
