Well I know that the Mongols are the only exceptions, ever...

...but can I maybe start as a mortal (a [i]really[/i] ambitious and eventually jump to demigod or even god status without the help of a god, by starting as a mortal and then eventually trying to contact Fate or Invictus? Or perhaps by somehow tricking Escre (the guy that tries to prevent mortals from becoming gods) and stealing power from him.

Just creative ideas of mine. Yeah, if that gets rejected then I lean towards being created by Vestec or Saron.

Hmm, strange you should ask. I was thinking as I wrote out the FAQ about how demigods eventually becomes gods. I thought, perhaps, we could potentially apply that to Heroes.
So, as you may or may not know, a god can create a Hero, who is basically a blessed human with extraordinary powers and so on. Perhaps, with time and as their power increases, a Hero can become a demigod and eventually a god. I don't know how it would happen, perhaps through Invictus and Fate or some other way. If you are willing to do that, you can test it.
Mind you, however, a hero is at the mercy of the gods. Obviously, godmodding and doing things without your permission still apply, but any god can influence you at a whim and you would have very little ability (initially at least) to resist. You may even die - though we never did have a Hero die in the original RP (mainly because we didn't get too far).

I'm open to you playing  a Hero. In fact...hmm. [s]PM me.[/s] Pming you.
