Oooooo! One DM had that as the theme. "Gods on Earth" or something like that. Though was more like demigods. Very Greek in theme. The offspring of gods and men and their adventures Argonauts or Odysseus/Ulysses style.

Aye. My rogue in our last campaign. A few adventures in I was joking with the DM and said he should be the bastard son of the setting's trickster god - and she canon-stamped it. After he unwittingly sold his soul to the goddess of darkness and death for her help in finding a bird for a quest*, that morphed into a bet between the trickster and the goddess that my rogue would eventually become her earthly paragon. Fast forward to the end of the campaign which had the party helping the other gods defeat one of their own driven insane by corruption, in the course of which the trickster wins his bet, then gifts the rogue with a skin of mead which magics him the rest of the way into divinity as the new god of dumb luck.

*It was literally just a throw away sidequest to go out into the wilderness and kill a cassowary-like bird for organs and eggs for... something. I don't even remember anymore. We were low-level, so it might have been a bit tricky, but there was really no need for the party to bring in outside help, let alone for anyone to make a dark pact with an evil goddess. And he did it anyway, all the while completely oblivious to what he was actually agreeing to.

Low-wisdom characters are the best characters.
