This is one of those "I can't believe I have to say this" kind of deals, so buckle up, folks.

Guys? I know I'm really amazing, very cool, and all around unbelievable. I'm so many things, it's hard to list them all. But one thing I'm not?

A deity. Yes, I am in fact, 100%, absolutely and truly not a goddess. And no, I'm not a demi-goddess either. Not a single trace of divinity in me. I won't name names, but this has happened about three or four times now. Just thought I'd mention it in case there's anyone else out there with this assumption.

... Y'know what? It's a new month, and that means we're getting newbies. Maybe now's a good time for everyone to sweep any other misunderstandings under the rug. So, if there's anything you wanna clear up about yourself, your world, your species, whatever, go for it.

Then we have both ghosts and shades. But hopefully they don't exist as ghosts for long, and transition to shades once their body has been interred in some way, based on the funeral rites of their city-state. Sparta buries the dead, Athens burns the dead and then buries the ashes, and so forth. If nobody does that for them, they can't move on to their afterlife in the Underworld, much like these ghosts you mentioned. We can't take them, and even the Olympians can't do anything about it, other than go to bury the bodies themselves, but they rarely have time for mortals in that way.

... that sounds terrible. All of it does. I feel sorry for whoever has to keep going like that. It can't really be called living.
