Gods

The Gods were the original rulers of both the overworld and underworld kingdoms in the Ousama Ranking universe, and a major catalyst for how these nations have both developed and faired since.

History
The gods appear to have existed since the beginning of time, originally taking charge over a population of mortal beings either peaceably (such as Satun), or through force (such as the gods the Houma Kingdom waged war against).

At some point, the gods began to realize that they were destined to die off. Some chose to end their warring ways, in order to seek a more amiable existence with mortals. There were deities, however, who sought to find a way to continue their existence as they were. This often led to brutal tyrannies, followed by massive upheavals from the populations they ruled over (as seen with Desher, Desper and Ouken leading their civil war in the Underworld).

Currently, no known living gods have been seen in Ousama Ranking. There are also may past-tense references within the series, suggesting that they may be extinct as a species.

Godhood
Being possibly the first species to exist in Ousama Ranking, the gods were powerful primordial species. Their physical abilities far exceeded those of an average human, with many likely being even more powerful than giants. They also appear to live for an incredibly long time, though surprisingly they do not appear to be immortal, as seen with Satun.

Magic
Every god possessed immense magical power, which often was used to wage subjugation wars over entire nations. While it is only hinted at, there is reason to believe that each god specialized in a specific type of magic, such as Satun and Desher's lightning abilities. There are only a few mortals who naturally possessed similar magical capabilities, such as the mages from the Houma Kingdom.
