Deities

Deities (神々, Kamigami) are a race of ancient beings that are shown throughout the many worlds, and beyond. They are divine species of supernatural, legendary, and immensely powerful beings that holds ultimate power over their domain.

While there does not appear to be a clear hierarchy among these beings, there are still notable differences in power and significance between them. A male deity is called a "God", while a female deity is called a "Goddess".

"This world's been around for a long time, long enough that people have created dozens of gods. But if you believe Ozpin, ten of them are actually real."
 * —Qrow Branwen, About Deities.

Anatomy and Design
Many deities resemble normal human beings in their physical appearances, with the most prominent examples of this being Palutena and Viridi, while others only retain a humanoid shape, such as Hades and Pyrrhon. The only exception to this rule is Pandora, whose form appears to be a ball of fire—however, this is because she lost her physical form, which resembles a human like Palutena and Viridi do. However, even these humanoid forms are not their true forms, as deities only take on appearances that humans can comprehend.

Powers and Abilities
They possess many supernatural powers far exceeding those of mortal beings. These include the ability to control the elements, immortality, telepathy, flight bestowal, teleportation, creature transformation, and image projection.
