Gods DO mate with each other, you know.

Apollo, Artemis, Thor, and Saravashti, to name just a VERY FEW, were Godlings once. As Annias Cearcy, Silver Wind, and Thraxus currently are.

As close as can be determined, Godlings are just "young" Gods who don't appear to have -or need -Worshippers just yet.

To say the very least, it's a subject that Kev has never really covered all that much in the Rifts Game Setting.......

You know what???

My mistake for including him in this List. I've always had a disagreement with Carella calling his Godling Status an OCC, and also inferring that "godlinghood" can be somehow stolen.

Either you're born a Godling or you somehow get the powers...which isn't quite the same thing IMO......

this sounds the best explanation

maybe they are a species in their own right. which could mean you can give them an occ.

I think those of us that have been around them for any appreciable length of time know better.

My understanding was that a Demi-God, has one divine and one mortal parent. A Godling is actually a young, immature but full-blown Deity with 2 divine parents.

you are correct for the most part but not always, sometimes a godling or demigod starts as a 100% mortal (both parents were mortal) and for whatever reason the mortal was raised to Demigod/Godling by a pantheon.

I've always seen Godlings as baby gods, like Cornholio says, that are pretty new to the scene and are yet to find their place in the pantheon (what they will eventually become gods for). In my games the way they live their early few millennia, like what kind of powers, spells and psionics they use the most will eventually end up dictating what kind of God they will be, and the larger their rep becomes the closer they become to acquiring worshipers and attaining full Godhood. eg a Godling that uses a lot of weather related magic will eventually become a weather God, and the people that are affected by the magic (and know it was the Godling) will start by thanking them and possibly eventually requesting favours and finally praying for it and so on.

Hmm well in that case even Zues was a Godling at one time as he is the child of Chronos and Gia.
