Jerkass Gods	comment	These gods aren't lazy, but you really wish they were. Perhaps they view all of life as a cosmic game, with humans as mere pawns and tools. Perhaps they're hungry for worship, either out of necessity or just out of a huge ego, and are willing to resort to manipulation and worse to get it. Maybe they're just keen on Disproportionate Retribution (a very common trait in religions throughout history). Maybe it's the age-old adage "power corrupts", or maybe they're just overgrown immortal children with supernatural powers or The Sociopaths, but whatever the case, the gods are just jerks. They view human life as a source of entertainment or an inconvenience. This trope is Older Than Dirt. The Ur-Example might be Inanna, Sumerian goddess of getting laid and ultraviolence. As might be expected from someone of that description, she took exception to being spurned by the hero Gilgamesh and summoned a heavenly bull to go on a rampage through his city, and if her father denied her that bull, she would have caused a Zombie Apocalypse. It did not help that as he turned her down, he listed all her exes and how she arranged their terrible deaths. Compare and contrast Abusive Precursors, and for cases where Jerkass doesn't really cover it, God of Evil, and God Is Evil; or, for a milder version, consider God Is Flawed. Often worshiped by the Corrupt Church and/or the Religion of Evil. Related to God and Satan Are Both Jerks as well as World of Jerkass. Anyone playing Religious Russian Roulette with a Jerkass God probably won't like how it ends. In video games, where you are the god, see Cruel Player-Character God. For the inversion, see God Is Good. In real-life mythoi, this trope is often a product of Values Dissonance and Depending on the Writer, as whatever the gods do in their stories is often considered okay in the time period where the stories were written, but not in the present. Also, having different people write and tell different stories and myths about gods means that the deities in question are very prone to Alternate Character Interpretation by whoever is writing the story, because even back then, people liked to project themselves and their opinions onto characters, even if the characters are gods. Because of that, mythological characterization and continuity regarding the gods and other mythical figures tends to fluctuate wildly from story to story. Some of these authors and storytellers also made some gods grab the Jerkass Ball from time to time, which eventually spread out among public opinion and turned some deities from being viewed as nice to being seen as evil due to people remembering deities more for the bad things they did rather than for their heroic actions (the Everybody Hates Hades trope is a good example of that). What was considered okay and acceptable back then isn’t always what is considered okay and acceptable today, because society and its values change over time. Gods and the stories surrounding gods often reflect the cultures and societies that worshipped them. Since civilizations of ancient times or societies of other nations have different values and codes of ethics than the ones we have, then a god who is considered a Jerkass God by one civilization and time period may be viewed as a heroic god instead by another civilization and time period.

Jerkass Gods / int_10510c81	comment	In the Iron Druid Chronicles the Norse gods are portrayed like this, especially Thor who is a supernatural Jerk Jock to everyone outside his pantheon. Odin is a bit of a mix. While he is suggested to have manipulated several other pantheons to make sure the Norse remained on top by being remembered, he never actually goes out of his way to be a jerk to Atticus, even allowing Atticus to live after aiding in the collective fucking over that the Thor Revenge Squad dealt to the Norse. When the Morrigan took Atticus to meet with him and Frig he was a little bit of a jerk, but otherwise totally cordial. To be fair, Odin is speaking to the man who invaded his home, robbed him, killed his advisers, killed one of the residents of his realm, humiliated him, left, and then came back with a kill-squad, resulting in the deaths of a rather large number of members of his family, and the implied rape of Freya. Being a "little bit of a jerk" and nothing more must take GODLY levels of restraint. And once he and Atticus actually start working together, he's actually a pretty good guy. If you pay him, or your interests align with his, he may even help you. Note: he likes to be paid in girl scout cookies. So he's really just your average adult. The Roman gods colluded with Theophilus and the vampire nation to eradicate Druids, and when Bacchus finds out that Atticus is still alive he hightails it over to America to finish the job. The Greeks' involvement in the series has them largely doing their own thing, only opposing Atticus out of solidarity with the Romans. In contrast Jesus and the various versions of the Coyote are quite decent and care about humans (well, Coyote explicitly only cares about his humans, but it's the thought that counts). The gods that Atticus himself follows, the Tuatha de Dannan, have their ups and downs. They range from actively evil (Aenghus Og) to merely petty (Brighid) to actually pretty nice (Mannan mac Lir among others). In Goibhniu's first appearance, this trope is lampshaded though Goibhniu himself is actually a subversion. The Morrigan is a bit of a mixed bag. She’s got a lot of the markings of a Jerkass God (temperamental, tendency to cause pain for various reasons, turned on by being feared) but is actually pretty nice and personable when she wants to be and is Atticus’ oldest and most consistent ally. It is later revealed that the gods are pretty much stuck with the personalities that their worshippers attribute to them. The Morrigan becomes aware of this and actually wants to change for the better but cruelty and pain are so strongly associated with her worship that she is unable to see the world through any other metric. It is quite tragic and causes the Morrigan to go out and get herself killed in battle. The few times she manages to get around the “chains of belief,” she's actually pretty sweet. This makes one wonder why Thor is such a sadist since all the stories about him were him being a hero and protector of the common people severely lacking his jerkish qualities.

Jerkass Gods / int_11c6567a	comment	In 'The Woman Who Died a Lot once God is forced out of hiding He starts smiting towns. It is not entirely random, there is a plan to redirect the smiting by placing some axe-murderers and child-rapists and so on in a conveniently empty space near the town. Which would apparently work. The protagonists disapprove, they consider the plan unethical. God has some Values Dissonance.

Jerkass Gods / int_12381dc	comment	Divinity: Original Sin II reveals that the supposedly benevolent Seven Gods are soul-devouring thieves; they stole their power from The Veil and banished the God-King and other Eternals to the void. They then created the seven races in their own likeness, using them as source vats to be cosumed after death, and once they were unable to keep the God-King out they created the Divine to do it for them. Lucian the Divine is also a jerkass, having purposely genocided the elves to weaken Tir-Cendelius and allow the void through, thus enabling a pogrom of sourcerers to take place. The pogrom was simply a cover to steal all the source they'd accumulated to repair The Veil and keep the God-King out for eternity.

Jerkass Gods / int_158101e7	comment	In Entirely Out of Spite, people aren't that surprised when Ajax starts praying Rex Lapis for help instead of the Tsaritsa, in spite of being one of her higher-ranked followers since she's more feared than loved by her subjects. Indeed, Zhongli outright suspects she doesn't care about Ajax suffering from Abyssal Taint and threatening to turn in an Axe-Crazy Blood Knight when she could easily restore his sanity. For all he's presented as a much more benevolent and palatable option, Rex Lapis is nonetheless giddy about stealing one of the Tsaritsa's mortal followers to be turned in his devoted priest, claiming she's to blame because she "dangled" the mortal in front of a dragon greedy for treasure and pretty things.

Jerkass Gods / int_15c6ea11	comment	Wonder Woman (1942): Even in the Golden Age, where the Greek/Roman pantheon come across more as aliens who are semi empowered by the abstract concepts they're "gods" of, and Artemis and Aphrodite are the only two that aren't outright villains none of them seem particularly friendly. Artemis keeps a bunch of trigger-happy guards, who see nothing odd in her ordering the capture of one of her few worshipers to turn over to Mars and Aphrodite has a short temper and a habit of trapping people in And I Must Scream situations for the rest of their existences.

Jerkass Gods / int_15c73c49	comment	Wonder Woman (2011): In the New 52, Hera is as much of a bitch as ever, actively attempting to kill Zola because she slept with Zeus, as well as having killed numerous other women that did the same, not to mention pulling an And I Must Scream on several of the children that resulted from Zeus' dalliances. She turned Hyppolita into a clay statue when she found out that Zeus was Wonder Woman's father and turned all of the Amazons into snakes for trying to protect her. Hera mellows considerably as a mortal, especially when she's treated well, but slides immediately back into her old ways when she regains her powers. It's implied to be part of being a goddess, or at least of being Hera. The other New 52 Greek gods vary in their jerkassery, with most of them trending toward sympathetic over time. The DC New 52 original addition to the pantheon The Firstborn, Zeus's forgotten son, is a hideous exception.

Jerkass Gods / int_19ac53fe	comment	In Vei, the Norse gods are revealed to be this, much to the shock of one of the co-protagonists, a faithful and devoted Viking. It is an obvious Perspective Flip, since the main protagonist lives in Jotunheim where the gods' traditional ennemies, the jötnar/giants, are revered as benevolent lords. Odin is a hard-hearted, grudge-holding tyrant obsessed with power and control, Thor is an arrogant brute, Freyr a drunkard, Bragi a pompous propaganda-writer, and Idunn considers torturing people a "funny game"... Subverted however with some of the gods who turn out to be helpful and decent people - such as Freyja, who despite her sinister of Blood Magic is reasonable and kind, or Loki who furthers the Perspective Flip by being revealed as a benevolent trickster instead of the vicious character legends painted him as. Too bad that their plan to end the tyranny of the gods and free humanity culminates in The End of the World as We Know It.

Jerkass Gods / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: The Dread Wolf Fen'Harel, maybe. He's nominally an elven Trickster God, but many of the stories paint him as cruel and manipulative, rather than comically mischievous. And if the legends are to be believed, he not only locked both the Creators and the Forgotten Ones away but was enough of a Jerkass that the latter, who themselves were true Evil Gods, counted him among their numbers. Things get a little bit grayer in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Not only do you meet him, but he actually ends up joining your party to help. Granted you don't learn who he really is until The Stinger, but as Solas, he seems to lack many of the more sinister traits the elves ascribe to him. Codex entries found at the Temple of Mythal even go so far as to suggest that he was actually a God of Rebellion who got a Historical Villain Upgrade, meaning he might lean closer to Neglectful Precursor or God Is Flawed than previously believed. However, you then find out that he's plotting The End of the World as We Know It in order to create a better world for elves, leaving it up to the Inquisition (or what remains of it) to save the world. For the third time. Some of the information revealed in Inquisition heavily implies that the rest of the Elven Pantheon were not as benevolent as Dalish stories claim either. Mythal was pretty much the Only Sane Man, which is why the rest of them killed her: she worried too much about the well-being of their people and got in the way of their desire for more power. And even Mythal has a rather significant Nice Job Breaking It, Hero moment to her name. The true nature of the Old Gods of the Tevinter Imperium is ambiguous, but each of them apparently tricked their high priests into invading the Golden City on his behalf, with negative consequences for everyone (including themselves). The main reason Solas approves of the idea of The Maker without believing in it is that The Maker doesn't do anything. True gods don't need to flaunt their power. The Maker can also fall into this, depending on the speaker, to the point where the interpretations of the Maker that make Him seem actually decent (such as Leliana's) tend to be semi-heretical. Chantry dogma holds that the darkspawn exist because the magisters of Tevinter invaded Heaven and got smacked down and turned into monsters; most of it seems to be true except the Maker's involvement, which is still ambiguous. In other words, countless humans and dwarves have been killed in horrible ways or turned into monsters because of the admittedly abhorrent actions of a small group of Tevene magisters, none of whom even could have been dwarven because dwarves can't do magic. Then there's the Chantry explanation for demons existing, which is that the Maker screwed up when making spirits by not giving them the capacity for creation, dumped them like a sack of hot bricks, and dedicated all His attention to mortals instead, leading many of the spirits to fester in resentment and turn evil. Most of His relationship with mortals seems to consist of turning His face from them, looking back for thirty seconds and then returning to a stance of "no, screw you guys", meaning he is, at best, very passive-aggressive and deeply indifferent towards collateral damage.

They like to play games with less-advanced worlds, abusing the populace either for their own game or simply amusement. The final villain is the goddess Medea Pideth Machina, who engineered the Waves as a way of both amusing herself with the suffering of the people and harvesting energy, and (in the web novel) whose fragment in Malty S. Melromarc resulted in her being such a sociopathic villain.

Even gods with seemingly benevolent domains are going to be scary and inhuman about them, e.g., a God of Blacksmiths is going to be so gung-ho about industry and hard work that he'd happily enslave the whole world and put them to work in his forges. The book suggests throwing in the occasional Mind Screw in the form of hints that this might be the slanted perspective of the deicidal player characters, though, just to keep the players from getting too comfortable with their power and victories.

Jerkass Gods / int_2073eb8a	comment	Flynn's one appearance in TRON: Uprising is similar to the Reboot example. He's not malevolent, but he is a bit of an oblivious idiot who blows off the mounting Program-Iso tensions, Clu's power-hungry streak, and The Grid's problems with gridbugs and other stability issues. When System Guard Dyson appeals to Flynn for help in healing a nasty facial injury, Flynn is too distracted to help, leading Dyson to be one of the first (and most powerful) Programs to side with Clu in implementing the coup that left Flynn exiled and Tron grievously injured.

Jerkass Gods / int_246aca28	comment	Jackie Chan Adventures: Olympian Journey portrays the Greek gods as this. Barring Hestia, they abused and ignored mortals, yet humanity was still dependent on them until Prometheus gave them the power to adapt and improve on their own. The gods weren't happy when mankind's prayers and offerings petered out and set them back with Pandora's amphora. When that failed, they tried to kill all the humans, but the humans killed them first, save for Hestia (who was spared) and Eris (who survived but was sealed in the amphora with the essences of the others). In the present day, Eris gets free and is determined to use the essences of the other gods to restore divine dominance over humanity and enact her revenge.

Jerkass Gods / int_24740992	comment	Averted with Blue Suede Heartstrings. One In-Universe backstory theory depicted him as this, ala Galactus. According to that backstory, he was once an apathetic and selfish god who constantly ate populated worlds, so he was transformed/reincarnated into an amnesiac mortal and forced to live on Equus as punishment. He gradually Took a Level in Kindness after coming into frequent contact with a single Pony mother and her young son, causing him to appreciate his fellow mortals, and ultimately chose to stay on Equus even after his memories were restored. The reality is that Blue is very humble and compassionate, and only appears in his true form as an Alicorn god when it's absolutely necessary.

Jerkass Gods / int_28a0fe9f	comment	The Saga of Tanya the Evil has "Being X", as Tanya calls him; a rather off-put god who is tired of people not being faithful and praising him as often as he'd prefer. Thus, he decides to take the biggest, most staunch atheist he could find and put them through the wringer with the intent of making a believer out of them, reincarnating a Jerkass atheist Salaryman as a young girl forced to fight in an alternate version of World War I with a weapon that will kill her outright if she doesn't pray to him, though she usually does so in a bored monotone voice to reflect the fact that she is eternally against him in the long run. As such, she still retains her original mindset of seeking to rid the world of Being X's horrid influence, since while Tanya does act devilish, it's a freakin' pat on the back compared to the ruthless influence that Being X exerts on those too weak-willed to resist becoming completely influenced by him.

Jerkass Gods / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Sun Gwyndolin from Dark Souls is the only god in the setting who managed to avoid suffering a horrible fate, and is in the best position to help fix the Crapsack World. Instead, he selfishly manipulates everyone else in a bid to increase his own power. Subverted in that Gwyndolin is the leader of the Darkmoon Blades, assassins who specifically target sinners in Lordran. Doubly subverted in that a sinner can be a player who kills friendly NPC's, a player who invades and kills other players, or anyone who has discovered the illusion of Anor Londo. To be fair, though, Gwyndolin only seeks to punish you for even having the audacity to attack the illusion of his long-gone sister, Gwynevere. The rest of his godly family has either abandoned him, died, or gone insane. And it turns out Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight is the biggest jackass of them all. In the distant past, he and the other Lord Soul bearers fought against the dragons. Among these, the Dark Soul was unique in that it was a conduit to the Abyss, which existed in direct opposition to Gwyn's First Flame. Uncaring that their bearers, the Pygmy Lords, were completely loyal to him, he had them all rounded up and sealed in the Ringed City, using his own youngest child as a Cosmic Keystone to keep it sealed in time. Then he fed the Pygmy Lords' descendants, humanity, a sanitized version of history which placed him as King of the Gods and included nothing about the Dark Soul. When the First Flame started fading, the Dark Soul within the humans started reacting and created the Undead Curse in an effort to ensure the natural order Gwyn defied was upheld, and without the Abyss knowledge of the Lords, this led to era after era of suffering and misery.

Unfortunately, most people Go Mad from the Revelation due to an inability to comprehend them, and the ones who don't go mad use the eldritch gods' good-will for their own self-serving agendas.

My Goddess: Kami-sama frequently doles out unnecessarily harsh punishments and will wipe out an entire planet to preserve the integrity of the Yggdrasil with little hesitation. Chapter 285. Apparently Kami-sama and the heavenly elite don't like half-breeds between gods and mortals, so when Belldandy made her contract with Keiichi, his libido was sealed, which is why he never made a move on Bell in three years (24 years to the readers). To some, Belldandy herself fell into this trope since she never told him all this time and liked being pampered without any sexual pressure. Some on /a/ may never forgive her. This may be due to Kami-sama's former relationship with Hild which soured after she gave birth to Urd and being separated by the Judgment Gate.

Jerkass Gods / int_2dc12aeb	comment	In NetHack, your current God (as defined by your class and starting alignment) expects you to delve into the Dungeons of Doom where Everything Is Trying to Kill You, overcome quests and puzzles, descend into Hell, steal an amulet that causes bad stuff to you from the servant of Moloch, then bring it out of Hell, out of the dungeons, through the elemental Planes, and across the Astral Plane (where literally everything, including three of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is trying to stop you) to give it to your God. With such a tall order, your God would probably help you as much as possible to ensure success, right? Wrong. Sure, they can help you if you pray to them... as long as you don't do it too often. Pray without respecting a certain time limit since your last prayer, and your God will get angry. Get your God too angry, and they'll start punishing you, all the way up to trying to kill you. Sacrifices can mollify the God and reduce the time limit, though. (Evidently placating God's childish ego is more important than obtaining an artifact of cosmic powers.)

Jerkass Gods / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: YHVH, the Hebrew name of the Christian God, is portrayed as a condescending, patronizing paternal figure at best and as an amoral, despotic dictator who cares little to nothing about mankind at worst. Seeing living beings as merely source of faith, YHVH's sole objective is to force the entire universe to worship Him and Him only, threatening divine punishment upon any who defy his will. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse takes this to the logical extreme with the revelation that He split Satan into Merkabah and Lucifer to lead the forces of Law and Chaos into a Forever War with no winner in order to keep himself into power until the end of time. He's so reviled by gods and humans alike, to the point that Pagan gods had gathered in an attempt to rebel against him and humans are capable of denying his existence just by words alone. This is reflected in the final battle where His true form is actually a massive serpentine demon to display how far he has actually fallen from his prime times.

Jerkass Gods / int_2f3aa7ef	comment	My Little Pony: Discord from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. He's an all-powerful Reality Warper who can do pretty much anything he pleases. And just what does he use this power to do? Turn Equestria into a chaos-stricken version of its former self and drive everypony insane for his own amusement. His initial appearance paints him more as a God of Evil than just a jerkass, but his characterization in "Keep Calm and Flutter On" falls squarely in line with this trope (unless you consider "spirit of chaos and disharmony" not close enough to explicitly stated godhood, but there's no denying the "jerkass" part). Lord Tirek, the demonic centaur, from the same show as well, could qualify as well if not more so. He's pretty much Equestria's equivalent of Satan, especially when he drained everypony in Equestria of their magic. He rules over Equestria with an iron hoof, destroys Twilight's beloved tree home, and tries to murder the mane six For the Evulz. He's eviler than Discord as shown by him betraying Discord in a heartbeat and nearly succeeding in destroying Equestria. Sorcerous Overlord King Sombra seems to be this for the Crystal Empire. A millennium ago, he came seemingly out of nowhere and magically converted the entire place into a Mordor; oppressed the Crystal Ponies as his blatant, personal Slave Race; and then, once Princesses Celestia and Luna came and overthrew him for the Crystal Ponies' sake, cursed the Empire to vanish as both spite for his imprisonment and Pragmatic Villainy to preserve "his" domain until his inevitable return. And in the Season 5 finale, one of the Bad Futures shows what would've happened if said return had gone off without a hitch: He would've inflicted From Bad to Worse on the Crystal Ponies by magically brainwashing them into becoming his soldiers in a war against the rest of Equestria. As a confirmed Expy of Sauron, he can't even be mentioned without an aura of complete unpleasantness.

Perseus honestly responds that he wishes "to protect (his) mother (Danae) from the unwanted advances of a lascivious and domineering patriarch (Polydectes)".

While he is supposed to be a neutral party, he takes sadistic joy in his "fines". The fact that he acts smug and playful about it further this image. In the finale, he shows himself to be somewhat benevolent. Roy (who was forced to perform human transmutation) only lost his sight, instead of an actual organ or limb like everyone else and this made restoring what he lost much simpler as seen in the epilogue. While undeniably a Jerkass, The Truth is not necessarily evil, but a Trickster Mentor, as seen when he was absolutely elated to hear that Edward had learned the lesson that he was trying to teach everyone else: alchemy isn't everything.

When she incites rebellion, they destroy humanity and abandon her on an empty world. Light reincarnates Ozma, telling him to redeem humanity or the entire planet will be destroyed, locking Ozma and Salem into a tragic Forever War for the fate of humanity.

Jerkass Gods / int_38fa34eb	comment	The DCU version of Zeus, on the other hand, is more or less identical to his mythological counterpart, which is to say an abusive rapist and total sociopath who, among other things, tried to rape Wonder Woman. He can occasionally act in a moderately acceptable manner, but he always slides right back into his old ways in due time. Wonder Woman (1942): Even in the Golden Age, where the Greek/Roman pantheon come across more as aliens who are semi empowered by the abstract concepts they're "gods" of, and Artemis and Aphrodite are the only two that aren't outright villains none of them seem particularly friendly. Artemis keeps a bunch of trigger-happy guards, who see nothing odd in her ordering the capture of one of her few worshipers to turn over to Mars and Aphrodite has a short temper and a habit of trapping people in And I Must Scream situations for the rest of their existences. Wonder Woman (2011): In the New 52, Hera is as much of a bitch as ever, actively attempting to kill Zola because she slept with Zeus, as well as having killed numerous other women that did the same, not to mention pulling an And I Must Scream on several of the children that resulted from Zeus' dalliances. She turned Hyppolita into a clay statue when she found out that Zeus was Wonder Woman's father and turned all of the Amazons into snakes for trying to protect her. Hera mellows considerably as a mortal, especially when she's treated well, but slides immediately back into her old ways when she regains her powers. It's implied to be part of being a goddess, or at least of being Hera. The other New 52 Greek gods vary in their jerkassery, with most of them trending toward sympathetic over time. The DC New 52 original addition to the pantheon The Firstborn, Zeus's forgotten son, is a hideous exception. In The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016) it at first seems that only Ares and Hades are terrible and that their play against Zeus' faction is setting up Zeus as the Big Good. In due time Zeus proves himself to be much worse than Ares and Hades, as he's decided to destroy and reshape all life on earth that is not on the island the old magic and the Olympians retreated to in antiquity and replace it with a dictatorship that forces the remaining humans to worship and make human sacrifices to the Olympians to increase his waning power. DC's Hercules Unbound is a villain, who occasionally tries the modern hero thing but can't quite escape his violent rapist background.

Part of this is caused by the filter we see things through. When God finally shows up he's more out of touch than anything else. He is omnipotent and omniscient, so "out of touch" doesn't really describe his situation accurately - it's just that he created the entire universe simply as a backdrop for a philosophical experiment that only has three main characters in it, and a few important statists. Everything else is just background and largely irrelevant to Him as individual beings. Subverted with Elaine Belloc, who becomes God and puts other people's lives and welfare above her own happiness and desires.

While it's noted in-universe that destroying planets is his job and is necessary to maintain universal balance, he chooses what planets he will destroy at his leisure and is prone to doing so for ridiculous reasons, such as losing at a video game, being denied food, or simply because a random bystander offended him. In Dragon Ball Super, the Old Kai outright describes Beerus' actions as pointless and petty. If you do please him (usually with food) he will agree to do you a favor or two (just don't expect him to fight for you) and he's been shown to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold sometimes (like when he used his wish to the Super Dragon Balls to restore Earth in Universe 6 so his brother Champa could also enjoy the food he has grown to love) The Future Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Super has a perfect example with Zamasu, an apprentice Supreme Kai from Universe 10. He's firmly convinced that all mortals are stupid, brutal beings who never learn from their mistakes, to the extent that he suggests just wiping them all out, and outright tells his master Gowasu that the Kais' decision to merely watch rather than directly interfere is a sin. In the Bad Future that Future Trunks hails from, Zamasu has completely gone off the deep end and is actively working with Goku Black, a like-minded Omnicidal Maniac and another version of himself that stole Goku's body before killing his loved ones, to wipe out the mortal races. And then, there's Zeno, the most powerful god who reigns over the others. He looks and acts like a cute child, but his backstory involves him wiping six universes in a fit of anger. The Universe Survival Arc is centering on him throwing a multiversal tournament to determine which universe would keep on existing. The ones which would have lost? They'll be erased. He's willing to do so even though he befriended a mortal from one of the contesting universes. And the only reason he gives for this planned genocide is that he thinks there are too many universes with low mortal rankings. Oh, and it turns out that Zeno was actually going to erase all of the universes once the tournament was over if the winner didn't make a selfless wish to restore the erased universes. Android 17's wish convinces him that the mortals are worth living.

Jerkass Gods / int_3b08dfc9	comment	The gods in Pillars of Eternity tend towards this. Even the generally benevolent Eothas (while he still lived), Hylea and Berath are absolutely brutal if crossed, leaving significant collateral damage in their wake. The rest tend towards sometimes-inscrutable Blue-and-Orange Morality, with special credit going to Skaen, the god of hate, who rewards his followers for petty cruelty and engages more or less routinely in Human Sacrifice, and Woedica, goddess of vengeance, the Greater-Scope Villain who has been devouring unborn souls for power. The kicker? All of the gods were man-made through animancy. The Engwithans apparently believed that a world run by these was preferable to a world with no gods at all.

Partially this is due to the way humanity threatens their very existence with their insatiable curiosity, but there's little excuse to how they steal Randolph Carter's magnificent city from him in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath just because they want it for themselves, and justify it as "divine wisdom". This story, it's worth noting, is tonally uncharacteristic of Lovecraft, being more of an epic fantasy adventure than the type of Cosmic Horror Story he's best known for.

Jerkass Gods / int_43576f5	comment	In Supernatural, pretty much every deity seen is callous at best, plain evil at worst. As a series about two brothers fighting creatures from all myth's and folklore, pagan gods occasionally crop up (so far they've had Odin, Zeus, Osiris, Mercury, Chronos, Baron Samedi, and Kali to name a few) and they're always portrayed (normally quite accurately according to the myths, except for Kali whose portrayal is something of a Flanderization of some of her scarier myths, and Ganesha, which is straight-up Adaptational Villainy) as arrogant, greedy and uncaring, regarding humans as little more than food and entertainment, savagely slaughtering them or encouraging others to slaughter them for them. Although Chronos at least had a sympathetic motive, since he just wanted to get back to his loved one but constantly found himself unwittingly teleporting through time and could only get back to her timeline by sacrificing someone. It wasn't until the Eighth Season that they introduced the first truly benevolent pagan god, Prometheus. The Trickster demi-god from "Tall Tales" and "Mystery Spot" also known as Loki and Gabriel is more of a jerkass demi-god. His victims, especially the Winchesters and definitely Sam, probably wish he was a lazy god rather than an archangel. Yet, when it comes down to it, he's willing to stand up to his older, stronger brother, the guy who taught him everything he knows, to try and help. This leads to his death. It's implied that the real God (the actual creator, who does exist in the supernatural universe) has shades of this, as it's commonly pointed out, especially by Dean Winchester, that despite being all-powerful and all-knowing, he idly sits by letting so many horrors occur every day to innocent people and it turns out he actually abandoned his children (the angels) shortly after Lucifer's rebellion, leading the majority of them who were still (the equivalent of) children in the ruins of heaven. This probably also explains why his three eldest (Lucifer doesn't count as he was already evil before this) have so many problems, Gabriel ran off and pretends to be a Pagan, Raphael is a completely uncaring jerk who doesn't even care for his own kind, and Michael is a fanatic who is obsessed with pleasing his absent father.It turns out that the real reason that he doesn't intervene is that he regards the suffering of humans as entertainment and that he's been manipulating the Winchesters their entire lives because their adventures are his favorite show.

Jerkass Gods / int_468bebb0	comment	Most Discworld gods, who have a habit of going to atheists' houses and throwing rocks into the windows, and consider lightning bolts to be the answer to any theological debate. They also play games with the lives of men, but first they have to get the board out, and look all over the place for the dice. Special mention goes to Nuggan, a small, unimportant bureaucratic god most notable for being Patron God of Borogravia. Even the other Gods wince in horror upon hearing that his worshippers are forbidden from eating mushrooms, garlic, and chocolate, and generally think of him as a fussy, odious little oik. By Monstrous Regiment, Nuggan is effectively dead, but new Abominations keep being created out of his "echoes". Even his most sincere worshippers have to ignore some of them since they include crop rotation, babies ("I take it people still make them here?"), and the colour blue ("The sky is blue!" "Devout Nugganites try not to look at it these days.") In Small Gods, Om, who's had his conscience raised, points out to some of the other gods that a lot of people are going to get killed in the battle that's shaping up. It's revealed in The Last Hero that the home of the Gods (Cori Celesti) cannot be destroyed without destroying the Discworld, so they have nothing to fear while they remain relevant.

Jerkass Gods / int_46aac2a3	comment	The demigods of Elden Ring are on a spectrum. Godwyn and Miquella were the closest to white morality, being beloved by all who knew them and never doing anything questionable we know of. The grayer ones (Marika Morgott, Radahn, Malenia, Ranni, Godfrey, possibly Radagon if he still has free will when trying to prevent the Tarnished from mending the Ring) are Well-Intentioned Extremist types with many noble attributes who nonetheless still cause tons of collateral damage in pursuit of their goals. Finally the morally black ones are purely power-hungry butchers with no higher goal than personal gain, and are completely unapologetic about it (Godrick, Rykard, Mohg). From a normal human being’s perspective, none of the Outer Gods seem to have good plans for humanity, despite their Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Frenzied Flame wants to destroy every living thing, The Scarlet Rot wants to spread and corrupt everything, the Formless Mother wants her followers to commit murder to empower themselves and her, Destined Death is causing a Zombie Apocalypse with corrupting Deathroot, and what little we know of the Fire Giant's Fell God doesn't sound good. Even the Greater Will, the one most widely viewed as conventionally "good", abandoned the Lands Between the moment the Shattering started, leaving humanity to the predations of rampaging demigods fighting for power. As for the Dark Moon... it's an Enigmatic Empowering Entity that may unintentionally spread Alien Kudzu, but may be overall benevolent; it never fully controls people directly, but instead guides them to their own path of self-dscovery. The Dark Moon seems to want people to be free from the constraints of other powers, and able to walk their own paths.. at least according to Ranni.

Big Bad Hades tricks humans into going at war with each other so he can use their souls to make his army of monsters. Viridi, goddess of nature, believes humans have abused nature far too long and wants to wipe them all (though she thinks The Sociopath Hades is even worse). Even the Big Good God of Good Palutena isn't immune, admitting that she does abuse her powers at times and frequently messing with Pit. Dark Pit eventually calls them all out on their selfish nature when they comment about how bad the humans are. The game is very loosely based on Greek Mythology listed above, with countless liberties being made like Hades being a Devil analogue.

This changes after Asura is betrayed by his fellow guardian generals, who act like this to a degree even by Jerkass God standards. They turn humanity into a Martyrdom Culture by having them pray to them before they get killed and have their souls taken any to be converted into mantra, specifically used to power the Brahmastra. Only Yasha and Deus have regrets for what they do. Chakravartin, who is this from start, goes beyond even them by proxy of being the reason why the Guardian generals turned into Jerkass Gods in the first place, and is even more arrogant then them.

To put it in perspective: Venat, one-third of the game's Big Bad Triad is the fallen angel figure among them, who they try to convince you to kill at one point, and he acts completely in line (ie, getting others to help him as he himself cannot act in the human realm directly)... and he still is the primary Anti-Villain of the game, because you can tell he had very good reasons for wanting to rebel. Beyond his motivations, he's made more sympathetic by default by Gerun (the Occuria's leader/spokesperson) being an utter bastard.

Jerkass Gods / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV brings us the Primals, the gods of the various "Beast Tribes". They're physically summonable to the world, and in fact, this happens quite often. They're also very caring and devoted to their worshippers. The problem is that they tend to be extremely deadly towards anyone who isn't a worshipper and can also "brand" non-worshippers into becoming one. This branding is irreversible, and feeds more power to the Primal, allowing it to continue to exist; Primals require faith and an offering of magic to be summoned, and a constant influx of faith and magic to sustain that summoning. There's also the issue that what's being summoned isn't the god per se, but what the summoner believes their god to be. This can range from "if you don't bother me and my people, we won't bother you" to "because my summoner has a grudge against the nearest city, it must be destroyed and all who live in it killed" to "I will kill everything that isn't a believer because I deserve to be the only god in existence". The Player Character gets the singular "joy" of having to clean up the mess.

Jerkass Gods / int_4df48f8c	comment	The mythology-themed videos of Overly Sarcastic Productions tend to portray the gods as this. Unsurprisingly, the Greek gods get ragged on for their failings the hardest. The Olympians are regularly characterised as a dysfunctional bunch of serial rapists with a side hobby of giving mortals horrifying punishments for getting uppity. Again unsurprisingly, Zeus gets the worst of it. A huge chunk of the myths start out with him lusting after some unfortunate, usually mortal, lady and deciding to have his way with her. Not to mention, he punished Prometheus for looking out for humanity. In the video for Typhon, one gets the impression that the narrator herself is actively rooting for the world-wrecking Kaiju because she's really enjoying seeing Zeus get his ass kicked. Aphrodite is second only to Zeus in terms of how much trouble she causes to everyone. As the resident Shipper on Deck, her habit of trying to put couples together without regard for consequences is a running theme in stories featuring her, most notably causing The Trojan War and causing her and her son Aeneas to be majorly distracted from their quest to found Rome. She's also infamously petty and jealous, what with the whole plot with Psyche taking place because Psyche was thought to be prettier than her, as well as her scheme to ruin Hippolytus's life. (Note that this version makes Hippolytus out to be far more sympathetic than his canon characterisation, making Aphrodite's actions against him a lot less justified.) Although Hera might not be as awful as her husband, her revenge plots are usually targeted towards the unlucky women and their demigod children instead of Zeus himself, making her come off as this in many stories focused on them. Apollo is practically as bad as Zeus, although few videos have actually focused on his misdeeds directly, possibly because having sired fewer legendary heroes than his dear old dad, most of the tales about his affairs gone bad are rather repetitive and once you've heard one story of a poor mortal girl committing an elaborate suicide in order to run away from Apollo, you've heard all of them. Although the "canon" version of Dionysus is generally characterised as one of the nicer gods alongside Hades and Hermes, the video that focuses on him also points out that Dionysus as he was actually worshipped in Ancient Greece started out as a terrifying Mad God known for dismembering those who defied him, and his role and actions in Bacchae are more like those of Nyarlathotep than anything you'd expect from an Olympian. The Chinese gods tend to be depicted as more incompetent than anything. The series on Journey to the West portrays Celestial Bureaucracy as riddled with corruption and nepotism. The Jade Emperor himself is a petty tyrant who seems to order death penalties for the slightest offense. On the other hand, Sun Wukong starts out the story by screwing with anyone and anything and throwing the entire cosmic order into a huge mess on his quest for immortality. Downplayed with the Aesir, who are described as regularly breaking their promises and blaming Loki for their own flaws.

Jerkass Gods / int_55145659	comment	So I'm a Spider, So What?: Evil God "D" is completely self-centered and watches Kumoko's desperate attempts to survive for her own amusement. If Kumoko tries to ignore or thinks badly of her, "D" responds with threats of annihilation or "punishment" consisting of debilitating agony. Worst of all, she created Kumoko by attaching a piece of her soul and some shoddily modified memories to a house spider. "D" expected Kumoko, who was essentially her child, would die quickly and confuse the other gods so "D" could continue slacking off. Her status is cemented when it's revealed "D" created the System not to save the world but to amuse herself by watching the mortals kill one another in an interesting way, and that it's heavily implied she could have come up with a much less bloody way if she actually cared. And then she got bored and left the whole thing to spiral into disaster. This is apparently a common trend among gods. Their status makes them supremely arrogant and they view dominating the mortal races as only proper. It's hinted that the god-slaying Angels were brought into existence by the Lifestream of the many planets suffering due to their actions. "D" just so happens to stand out because she's one of the strongest gods out there and thus above even direct retribution from her fellow deities in most cases.

In the Christmas event, Hermes and his flying black sheep attack Santa's sleigh and steal all the presents. It's up to Perseus to collect the presents and save Christmas.

Jerkass Gods / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: The Gods created the world it seems for their own amusement as much as anything. Their squabbles the first time created the Snarl and ended up killing 1/4 of them and unmaking reality before they locked it up in the current world. When they remade it they made Clerics and a lot of cool monsters for them to help fight but needed Cannon Fodder for them to kill for experience. All goblin races were created to be nothing more than easy experience points and defined as "Usually Chaotic Evil" for the purposes of alignment and spells, no matter their actions. (Well, according to Redcloak anyway.) As a result, killing a Goblin child unable to comprehend good and evil is not an evil act (again, according to Redcloak). The motivation of the aforementioned Redcloak stems from him trying to give his people an equal footing. Redcloak's beliefs are technically true, though the full story is more nuanced. They were created by a Chaotic Evil god who abandoned them due to impatience, hence their alignment and lack of a patron deity, and their place in the food chain wasn't intended to single them out anymore than anybody else. They simply happened to get the short end of the stuck due to careless planning and bad luck. The Dark One (the previously-mortal god of the goblins) averts this in his dealings with his followers, but he's still willing to threaten the stability of the entire universe in order to force the other gods to make Goblins a PC race. Right-Eye however believes this is true, and renounced the Dark One because he thought (citing the many goblins who died for the cause) the Dark One cared more about revenge than about goblins. The Northern Gods attending the Godsmoot seem to bear out Redcloak's depiction, with many of the ostensibly Good gods supporting ending the world and killing everyone on it because it would be safer for them, personally. One of them, Nord the Ocean God, just wants to unmake the world because he wants to try out a new coastline. Of course, this makes rather more sense considering revelations from a couple hundred strips later: The gods have made billions of worlds, each inevitably destroyed by the Snarl. From their perspective, destroying the world before the Snarl can annihilate it is a genuine mercy. Every time they've waited too long, their followers have been consumed, their souls completely unmade. And it explains much of the rest of their attitude, too, as even entire worlds can become a mere statistic eventually. Thor is a long and studied aversion. He needs Durkon to do something for him, but is careful not to mention it until Durkon expresses a desire to do it on his own so that he doesn't feel pressured. He tells Durkon everything he needs to know about the nature of the world and the conflict, all so that he has the proper context to stop it.

It's even noted that Aethervon chose Ciarra specifically to trigger Oreg's Restraining Bolt in order to put him in his place. As gods are gods, Ward's only means of showing his anger is to not pray to that specific god anymore.

Jerkass Gods / int_5908ee91	comment	In Skyrim, the Dragons technically qualify, due to possessing Aedric souls unbound by time, rendering them immortal and able to resurrect even after death (unless their soul is consumed by a Dragonborn). Furthermore, their ability to use the Thu'um allows them to bend reality to their very will. During the Merethic Era they caused untold destruction across all of Tamriel before they were driven to extinction and their leader, Alduin is prophesied to be the one to ultimately destroy the world. Multiple characters make the point that Alduin's destruction of the world and consumption of everyone's souls is an inevitability, it's unfortunate but it's a natural part of the world's lifecycle, but he has no excuse to be enslaving people instead of killing them, and he's thousands/hundreds of thousands of years too early and killing time by tormenting humanity to begin with.

All of the greater demons (of which Xanth is one) in general; they are involved in a complex game with more similarities to Nomic than the classic Chess, and people are only rarely used as pawns in certain rounds - most of the time, they're not considered at all.

Jerkass Gods / int_5a0daa35	comment	In Iron Kingdoms, Menoth, creator god of the human race, is such a massive jerk that two humans became gods just to overthrow him. It's not hard to see why as he supports All Crimes Are Equal (most punishments having something to do with fire) and the fact that if you're too awesome he will kill you. Why? So you can fight for him in his heavenly army because he's attacking the other gods' cities. Why? Because he's a jerk. The few followers he has left view him more as a Stern Father, like the time when he refused to help the humans out when the Orgoth invaded because of the above overthrowing. The Circle Orboros worships entities of nature who are 1) godlike and 2) kind of dickish. The Circle wants to reduce humanity's numbers and technology level because they're afraid that if they don't, all of humanity will be wiped out.

Jerkass Gods / int_5c66fff9	comment	Mentioned above, Myrkul from Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, the former god of the dead. People don't worship you or any other god? Sew their souls onto a wall that utterly destroys them when they die, including one of the player's former companions, and for extra evulz make the process slow. One of your old priests tries to take his beloved off that wall? Stick him on it, then remove him right before he's Deader than Dead so you can turn him into an Eldritch Abomination and inflict him on the world. The Player Character wants to know how to end the curse and thus put the man out of his misery? Lie to them and nearly let their soul be destroyed. Delivering a Karmic Death to the guy is, needless to say, very satisfying. The kicker? In the fluff Myrkul's much nicer successor did away with the bloody wall but was forced to reinstate it by the rest of the Pantheon. Apparently rewarding people for the virtue they displayed in their lives regardless of what god they worshipped was starving them of followers implying that many people wouldn't worship them unless they had no choice.

Jerkass Gods / int_605dd875	comment	The Stargate-verse is built on this trope, specifically Stargate SG-1. The Goa'uld take on the identities of all sorts of gods (or perhaps were the origin of the myths; it's never specified) and often rule with an iron fist. They view humans as disposable slaves and potential host bodies. In the episode "Pretense", Zipacna compares humans to cattle. In seasons nine and ten, the Ori come into the picture. They're Ascended beings who want to convert every single mortal into worshiping them. If you refuse, they denounce you as evil and burn you alive for heresy. Unlike the Goa'uld, who rely on technology to make them seem godlike, the Ori actually have supernatural powers to reinforce the belief of their followers, producing incredibly devoted soldiers who are willing to kill every single person who doesn't accept Origin. Similarly, the Ancients themselves might qualify. Sure, they're the "good guy" counterparts of the Ori, but despite their power and Ascended status, they have rules against interfering with the affairs of mortals, up to and including letting a half-Ascended Goa'uld run around slaughtering billions and gaining a foothold into destroying the entire galaxy just to punish one of their own for helping him Ascend on accident. Averted with the Asgard who impersonate the Norse pantheon. They are one of the main allies of the Tau'ri and have contingencies in place on planets protected by them to reveal their true selves when the civilizations become advanced enough.

Jerkass Gods / int_6b85085e	comment	The Elder Gods from Mortal Kombat, particularly in Mortal Kombat 9, where, when begged by Raiden for help against the invasion of Earthrealm by Outworld, their response is "so sad, too bad, but we don't care about the genocide of an entire realm". Shao Kahn even mocks them by calling them "impotent worms". They weren't much different in the previous games/timeline, where they were not being indifferent to all, but their own survival attempts tended to make things worse. They cursed Shang Tsung to consume souls to survive, making him stronger, which bit them on their collective asses when Shinnok attacked them note When Shang Tsung absorbed Kung Lao's soul after Lao's defeat at the hands of Goro, he gained knowledge of the whereabouts of Shinnok's amulet and gave it to Quan Chi in exchange for resurrecting Sindel. Thus, Quan Chi used the amulet to free Shinnok, who then declares and unleashes his vengeance on his fellow Elder Gods who imprisoned him into the Netherrealm. Then it's revealed in Mortal Kombat 11 that Kronika was the one responsible for cursing Shang Tsung in the first place!. They promised to return Scorpion's clan to life in exchange for service, but resurrected them as the undead. They tend to screw characters (both good and evil) over in several endings throughout the games. And comments in the games and outside of them has stated the Elder Gods appointed Shao Kahn as the protector of Outworld, a position he used to gain control of the realm. The Elder Gods thus are responsible for the rising of most of the major villains throughout the games. It's even worse in Mortal Kombat X, when it falls to the Cage Family and their allies to stop Shinnok, a fallen Elder God, from corrupting the Jinsei, Earthrealm's life-force while the Elder Gods have their hands on their asses. Just like Kahn in the previous game, Shinnok mocks his fellow Elder Gods for their inaction and apparent cowardice. And after Shinnok is vanquished, Raiden, feeling that the Elder Gods are more burden than help, decides to take matters into his own hands by defending Earthrealm from ALL threats. It seems that many of the characters in the series view the Elder Gods as incompetent slackers. Then Kronika decides to step in to prove to everyone that this Titan is no booger-eating mouthbreather. Realizing that a temporal armageddon is a shitstorm waiting to happen, the Elder Gods tasked Raiden to steal her hourglass. The stakes are so high that one of their own, Cetrion decides to join the fight. Unfortunately, Cetrion is no better as she sides with her mother Kronika and finish what her brother Shinnok started: slaughter all the Elder Gods. Defied by Fire God Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 1. By being more proactive and being more helpful to most of the realms, he wanted to prevent both this and laziness from occuring and the aforementioned problems like it did in the previous timelines.

Jerkass Gods / int_6e1d5f36	comment	In the Farscape episode Prayer, Aeryn mentions an ancient myth about how the ancient Sebaceans used to worship a goddess named Djancaz-Bru until she suddenly destroyed the seven main planets they lived on. When her dying worshipers asked why she had done this after they did their best to honor her, she replied, "Because I can." Apparently, this is why the modern-day Peacekeepers refuse to believe in any religion.

Jerkass Gods / int_74f7210c	comment	While the gods of The Legend of Zelda are, for the most part, good, they've also done some extremely questionable things in the past. It's discussed particularly in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. After Ganondorf's first defeat at the hands of the Hero of Time, he eventually managed to return to the world and attacked again. Since Link wasn't around to assist, the denizens of Hyrule desperately prayed to the gods in a bid to save them—and the gods responded by choosing a few people to escape the land's highest mountains, then sending a massive rainstorm to drown all the rest. Ganondorf outright points out that "Your gods destroyed you!", and it's hard to argue with that logic—civilization is all but dead, as there are only a few settlements left on the Great Sea, and they seem to have very little contact with each other. It's somewhat justified with the reveal that these gods require prayers to function, but even so, you'd think all-powerful deities would be able to devise a solution beyond "Drown 95% of the world's population."

Jerkass Gods / int_76e7de99	comment	In the Forgotten Realms: The Time of Troubles led to all of the gods being banished to the material plane in avatar form, screwing up the Realms pretty much wherever they went. Many of them used this as an opportunity to expand their power base, using human armies as pawns to take down other gods. The kicker is that the whole thing started because they upset the overgod, Ao, by stealing the Tablets of Fate. To his credit, after the whole fiasco is over Ao does require that deities actually be worshipped to get their power in the future. And hey, we got a new edition out of it. At least according to some sources, Ao was getting tired of the gods goofing off to play power games against each other instead of doing their actual jobs, anyway. The theft of the Tablets was simply the straw that broke the camel's back (and made for conveniently collectible Plot Coupons at the same time). And the Kicker? The Tablets of Fate were just symbolic. Ao ground them to dust in front of the other Gods just to show that all that suffering was for nothing. Back when Myrkul was the god of death, he created the Wall of the Faithless, a place where every Flat-Earth Atheist and Nay-Theist has their soul slowly turned into nothing. When Kelemvor ascended to the position, he decided to abolish that, and judge souls based on their deeds in life. This led to good people stopping their worship, while evil people became obsessed with cheating death. The other gods were so pissed that they forced Kelemvor to bring back Myrkul's system. Hope you're cool with religion, cause if you don't, your soul is doomed. Corellon, the Leader of the Elvish Pantheon, is arguably one of the worst gods on the side of Good in the D&D multiverse. Despite his chaotic good alignment Corellon is an infamously petty and emotional god whose spontaneous outbursts have caused serious damage to the elves. He cheated Gruumsh and the orcs out of a homeland causing orcs and Gruumsh to become the chaotic evil murderers they are known as today. When Lolth attempted to overthrow him he cursed every single elf who did not take his side in the battle of the gods and condemned the entire drow race to suffer under Lolth's hand, he refuses to create more elvish souls which is causing the elvish race to slowly go extinct. All in all, his behavior is not evil but as a King and A God he is not suited to ruling. Even if you worship a god, your fate is arguably not any better. Souls that die are sent to the Fugue Plane, where they become petitioners. If you worshipped a god in life, they would (hopefully, there is no guarantee) come to pick you up as a servant. Once a god has claimed you, you lose all your skills and attributes, become mindless, and have your body remodeled into whatever your god finds amusing.

In this universe, if the kings of a country worship a god over others, that god is the most powerful over all other gods in that region. The exception is The Black God, who rules over the afterlife. He cares deeply about mortal souls, and when Beka is forced to carry on despite wanting desperately to give the bodies a proper burial, he buries them for her and calls her his most faithful priestess. Of course, it might be because he already owns an entire realm and has no reason to be greedy.

Jerkass Gods / int_84986bf9	comment	The gods in RuneScape, for the most part, see their followers as little more than tools they can use to gain an advantage over the other gods. Even Saradomin, who is worshipped by most of the characters in-game, doesn't really seem to care much about his worshippers and was actively participating in the God Wars without a second thought. The closest thing there is to a 'good' god is Guthix, the god of nature and balance, who created Gielinor and was powerful enough to stop the God Wars. The cruelty of the gods in the retconned history of the universe is the roundabout reason for the populating of Gleinor, the world the game takes place in. Guthix was born a mortal but killed a God who had killed his daughter through gross negligence. After he accidentally became a god, Guthix populated Gleinor with the hopes that it would be free of the fighting between the gods. His death allows many gods to come to the realm and wage war again. Most of the gods tend to be well-intentioned extremists, though several are more caring about the mortals who worship them. Seren committed suicide to prevent her elves from dying out, while Armadyl had a Heroic BSoD when he thought his followers were wiped out.

Jerkass Gods / int_89465e75	comment	In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Greek gods can often fulfill this trope, though some still manage to be sympathetic, via Freudian Excuse. (Hades, for example, has spent three millennia as the target of all the gods' Jerk-Assness and ostracism for ... drawing the unluckiest straw). It's also somewhat noticeable that more than a few of them are less jerkish than they used to be, with Poseidon and Artemis in particular coming off as much less jerkish than they classically are (though not without the implication they can in fact be jerks if need be), with even Ares and Hera having moments showing themselves to be less jerkish than in classical mythology (though with Hera, that's really not saying much. Hestia, a Nice Girl in the myths, remains as such, but she's definitely an exception to the general rule. The demigods, who are the protagonists of the series, also sometimes resent their parents for being Jerk Asses and ignoring them; the gods are eventually called out on it and forced to acknowledge all their children. (Whether this had any effect on how many affairs the gods have remains to be seen). Hermes also implies that the gods are constrained by the Fates from being able to spend too much time with their kid. Zeus takes the cake, though. Zeus (and Poseidon, to be fair) pressure Hades into a pact that they will no longer have demigod children due to the destruction their kids caused in World War II... and also 'cause there's a prophecy saying one of them will choose to either save or destroy the world upon turning sixteen. Once the pact is made, Zeus attempts to kill Hades' two remaining children who are under sixteen— Hades protects them, but Zeus does succeed in killing their mother and presumably any other bystanders. Fast forward about sixty years: Zeus is the first to break the pact and, because he's the god of justice and king of the gods, gets none of the comeuppance. His daughter, Thalia, is punished instead: she is under constant monster attack and makes her final stand mere feet away from safety, holding the monsters off so her friends can escape. Zeus turns her into a pine tree as she dies. (Although she is accidentally resurrected later.) Hades, ironically, turns out to be the only one of the three to honor the pact— all of his children seen in the series were born in the 1930s and either placed in a time warp or brought back from the dead. In the sequel series when someone asks why the gods even need the demigods, all the gods look like they just ate something terribly sour and bitter and rancid, and Aphrodite answers "Don't you think we've been asking that ourselves for millennia?" It is telling that the companion book Percy Jackson's Greek Gods has a whole paragraph reminding the readers that the gods do not, in fact, give a damn about us. Sure we might be useful at times to get around the rules and stipulations they are supposed to live by (no going to each other's territory without being invited for example), but their attitudes range from "that kid who enjoys burning ants with a magnifying glass", through "the kid watching ants march by peacefully" (with us being the ants), up to "the class in general towards the class gerbil: kinda cute at the start, but gets old real quick, in more ways than one" (with us being the gerbil.) Sometimes, gods will genuinely try to help mortals and demigods...and then forget about them entirely, having done their Good Deed for the century. Apollo recounts how, during the French Revolution, he wanted to check in on his son Louis XI, then remembered that Louis had already been dead for decades. The Egyptian gods in Rick Riordan's next series The Kane Chronicles are petty backstabbers who squabble and fight with the main characters even though they are the only ones in a position to stop all of reality from descending into Chaos, which would destroy them too. But it is mostly due to lacking a strong king. Once the divine power struggle is over the gods quickly come together to fight Apophis from the nicest of them to the worst of them. Unfortunately, the magicians themselves are still heavily divided and Apophis has vast armies of demons to aid him. The Gods of the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series are, similarly to the Egyptians above, less jerkish than the Olympians. However they can come off as 'Hush kids, the grownups are talking' at times, though it is somewhat entangled with You Can't Fight Fate and they, unlike Zeus, will thank and reward you much easier and quicker (since, unlike the Greek gods, they know they're going to die).

Nyarlathotep wants nothing more than to kick over the table and ruin everything, but Philemon holds him back. But then, for all Philemon empowers the heroes, all he really cares about is saving humanity in the aggregate and lets his agents go through hell without so much as a note of sympathy.

The only thing that stops this from going right into God Is Evil territory is that the Users are Obliviously Evil: they don't realize the denizens of the net are living sentient beings and play games for fun without realizing the danger and damage they cause.

Jerkass Gods / int_98288223	comment	The Magicians (2016) has Reynard the Fox, a trickster god who rapes, butchers, and eats anyone who tries to summon Our Lady Underground, Persephone. He also purposefully spread word on how to perform the summoning so he could find more faithful. It's eventually revealed he's targeting these people as a form of Revenge by Proxy on his mother, Persephone, for abandoning him. Ember helps Quentin and Julia prepare to fight the Beast but then tears off the psychic equivalent of a bandaid, causing Julia to remember her traumatic rape by Reynard. After that he takes a dump in the Wellspring, weakening the Beast while causing significant problems for the multiverse. He then starts randomly transforming and destroying parts and people of Fillory to amuse himself, leading up to flat out destroying it. In addition to The Monster being a soul-devouring Psychopathic Manchild, the reason he's so pissed off is that four Librarians broke their code and performed an infant sacrifice (on The Monster's sister) to become gods, and then cursed their For Science! leader to prevent him from revealing what they did or how to fix it, effectively creating one of the multiverse's greatest threats for their own gain and then doing everything in their power to imprison The Monster with a bunch of other (unfortunate) monsters and one very unfortunate knight. This convinces the Magicians to stop shedding tears for 'those four assholes who deserved their deaths'.

He's firmly convinced that all mortals are stupid, brutal beings who never learn from their mistakes, to the extent that he suggests just wiping them all out, and outright tells his master Gowasu that the Kais' decision to merely watch rather than directly interfere is a sin. In the Bad Future that Future Trunks hails from, Zamasu has completely gone off the deep end and is actively working with Goku Black, a like-minded Omnicidal Maniac and another version of himself that stole Goku's body before killing his loved ones, to wipe out the mortal races.

Jerkass Gods / int_98e97d56	comment	Aquaticus, dragon god of water in Rune Factory 3, though you only find this out in after the final boss battle: He is the one who stripped Micah of his memory and plunked him into the middle of Sharance Village, as part of a Gambit Roulette to reunite the village with the non-human Sol Terrano settlement - setting a bunch of dangerous monsters loose in the process. When he reveals this to Micah, he gives him an opportunity to regain his full memory, but at the cost of having to leave his new life behind - including the fiancee he'd just fought Aquaticus to rescue - and returning to his old one. And this is after Aquaticus had revealed that you had fulfilled every one of the requirements for his plans. So Micah's rewards are a happy life in Sharance, but with most of his past lost, probably forever, or regain that past at the cost of his present, also probably forever. Dragon Gods are Jerks.

While it's noted in-universe that destroying planets is his job and is necessary to maintain universal balance, he chooses what planets he will destroy at his leisure and is prone to doing so for ridiculous reasons, such as losing at a video game, being denied food, or simply because a random bystander offended him. In Dragon Ball Super, the Old Kai outright describes Beerus' actions as pointless and petty. If you do please him (usually with food) he will agree to do you a favor or two (just don't expect him to fight for you) and he's been shown to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold sometimes (like when he used his wish to the Super Dragon Balls to restore Earth in Universe 6 so his brother Champa could also enjoy the food he has grown to love)

Jerkass Gods / int_9bcf051b	comment	The Final Fantasy Legend The Creator is revealed to be responsible of all the events of the game, although his motivations vary between versions.note In the Japanese version, he was simply bored of overseeing a peaceful realm, so he created the tower, Ashura and the demons to spice up the setting a bit. Then he got bored of them as well and created the legend of the heroes climbing up the tower and meeting God, all for his own amusement. In the localized version, he thought that mankind lacked the valor and determination to vanquish evil. He created the tower to test humanity's mettle and then gleefully watched the unfolding spectacle. In either version, the heroes rightfully calling him on treating everything like a game. The Creator simply brushes the accusations aside, claiming that as the maker of all, he's free to do as he wishes before engaging the protagonists as the Final Boss.

Odin is a Dirty Old Man who hates to lose (especially at chess) and does really stupid things out of pride (and his brothers are even worse); Thor is impulsive and somewhat oafish and tends to overcompensate in his masculinity; Loki is a lazy, egotistical trickster; Tyr is prideful and slightly anal-retentive; and Heimdall is a blustering Small Name, Big Ego. Ultimately, though, they're mostly shown as just "human-but-more": Flawed and very prideful, but ultimately trying to be decent.

Jerkass Gods / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Throughout the series, the Daedric Princes qualify (when they aren't crossing into full-on God of Evil territory). The Daedric Princes are the most powerful of the Daedric beings, immortal entities who existed prior to the creation of Mundus, the mortal plane, and who did not sacrifice any of their power to help create Mundus (as the Aedra did). While your average denizen of Tamriel (along with less knowledgeable fans of the series) may see them as being Demons, scholars in-universe and out are quick to point out that they are really beings Above Good and Evil who operate on a Blue-and-Orange Morality in line with their spheres of influence. Whether they are seen as "good" or "evil" by mortals really boils down to how benevolent or malevolent their actions toward mortals are. Some seem to genuinely care about their mortal followers (but may not always be "nice" toward them) while others see them as little more than disposable playthings. Azura, Daedric Prince of Dusk and Dawn, is generally seen as one of the most benevolent of the Daedric Princes. She is known to watch over her loyal and obedient followers and acts largely as a Big Good in the main quest of Morrowind. However, she is known to have a petty streak and is a big fan of gaining Disproportionate Retribution. In the past, when the advisors of her champion, Nerevar, went against her wishes by using the profane Tools of Kagrenac on the Heart of Lorkhan to become the Physical Gods of the Tribunal, she cursed the entire race of the Chimer ("shining elves") by turning them into the red-eyed, ashen-skin Dunmer ("dark elves"). She also prophesied the reincarnation of Nerevar who would cast down the "false gods". In the plot of Morrowind, it's revealed that the Nerevarine may not actually be Nerevar's reincarnation, but simply a convenient Unwitting Pawn for Azura to get her revenge on the Tribunal. Due in no small part to the actions of the Nerevarine (as guided by Azura), a series of disasters strike Morrowind, rendering much of it uninhabitable with the rest taken over by the Dunmer's long time Slave Race, the Argonians. "Good" Is Not Nice with Azura, indeed. Further, there is evidence that Azura is more of a True Neutral, concerned with maintaining some sort of metaphysical balance. Her actions just happen to benefit mortals more often than not by stopping divine threats. Meridia, the Daedric Prince associated with the "energy of living things," is another who is generally considered "good," but has some very jerkass qualities as well. She has a hatred of all things undead and seeks to rid them from the world, which is usually a good thing for living mortals. Additionally, she's a main opposer of Molag Bal, probably the closest to an actual God of Evil among the Daedric Princes, and his motives are never benevolent toward mortals. Despite this, she can be a bit of a Knight Templar in her actions, is a fan of Disproportionate Retribution for those who wrong her, backed the Obviously Evil Umaril the Unfeathered in the Backstory and in the Knights Of The Nine expansion, and is a seething Narcissist about it all. Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness, is every bit as unpredictable as his title may imply. He may be the Daedric Prince most active in aiding his followers, and in every appearance is shown to care about them deeply. However, he is completely insane. Seemingly at random, he can fluctuate between being this, a Great Gazoo, an Incredibly Inconvenient Deity, and an Omnicidal Maniac. He's been known to hurl celestial bodies at those who've offended him, or simply make cheese rain from the sky on a whim. In The Oblivion expansion The Shimmering Isles, Sheogorath has been known to sentence people to death for growing beards, played jump rope with the entrails of someone who had his undying loyalty, and immediately threatens a subordinate he suspects of betraying them with ripping out their eyes. Thankfully by the time of Skyrim Sheogorath has mellowed out significantly due to being the probably-heroic Champion of Cyrodiil who ascended to godhood and became the new Sheogorath, in fact he even helps repair the mentality of a former emperor he cursed with madness, allowing his spirit to finally rest in peace. Morrowind: Vivec, one of the aforementioned Tribunal deities of the Dunmer, is one. While he has used his powers to help and protect the people of Morrowind in the past and is the main opposition for Dagoth Ur which makes him into a Big Good and Supporting Leader, he has his jerkass tendencies as well. In the distant past, Sheogorath hurled a "rogue moon" at Vivec's new Egopolis. Vivec used his power to stop it in mid-air above the city, saying that it is held in place by the people's love for him. He also spends much of the game's main quest trying to have the Nerevarine killed, but this one is possibly justified. (He is a believer in You Can't Fight Fate, and he knew that all attempts to stop the true Nerevarine would be destined to fail, confirming his identity.) In the Bloodmoon expansion, Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt, is a Downplayed example. He does kidnap the greatest warriors on Solstheim for his "hunt", but he also gives plenty of warnings, prophecies, signs, and such that it is time for the hunt. When a finalist emerges from his hunting grounds to challenge him directly, he also gives that person a sporting chance by fighting him at significantly reduced (but still incredibly strong for a mortal) strength. He also offers a legendary artifact as a reward for defeating him. In Skyrim, the Dragons technically qualify, due to possessing Aedric souls unbound by time, rendering them immortal and able to resurrect even after death (unless their soul is consumed by a Dragonborn). Furthermore, their ability to use the Thu'um allows them to bend reality to their very will. During the Merethic Era they caused untold destruction across all of Tamriel before they were driven to extinction and their leader, Alduin is prophesied to be the one to ultimately destroy the world. Multiple characters make the point that Alduin's destruction of the world and consumption of everyone's souls is an inevitability, it's unfortunate but it's a natural part of the world's lifecycle, but he has no excuse to be enslaving people instead of killing them, and he's thousands/hundreds of thousands of years too early and killing time by tormenting humanity to begin with.

One of the many problems with this is that the gods themselves aren't much better; an incubus describes them all as cruel, ruthless, "self-centered assholes". As the story progresses, however, it's shown that while several of the gods most definitely assholes (Zeus, Poseidon, and Loki), several of them are overall decent people who just so happen to be fighting for humanity's extinction (Shiva), and several are outright fighting to save humanity (Heracles and Buddha).

No reason is given for their mischief (which is also reflected in their shared Prankster Ability); they just do it for fun. Fortunately their foil, Landorus, is far more benevolent. While Alola's guardians protect the islands from danger, they're not exactly friendly. Tapu Koko is capricious and fickle in saving people and loves conflict, Tapu Lele casually uses its scales to cause people to fight and kill each other for its own amusement, Tapu Bulu destroyed a supermarket when one was built near its sacred lands (despite being the nicest of the Tapus), and Tapu Fini is indifferent to those in need, and having a cynical opinion on humans, only helps those who survive its powerful, destructive fog. Fittingly, they're all part Fairy-type. From the third generation, we have Kyogre and Groudon, who, despite supposedly being the rulers of the oceans and the continents, have little interest in anything other than fighting each other and are indifferent to the fact that they'll kill everything else on Earth in the process. Subverted by Rayquaza, the ruler of the sky and third member of the trio who turns out to be benevolent and will go out of its way to protect humans and even make alliances with them.

Jerkass Gods / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy The Occuria of Final Fantasy XII fit the bill perfectly. Most of the plot of the game turns out to be an attempt to overthrow them and return control over Ivalice to humanity. To put it in perspective: Venat, one-third of the game's Big Bad Triad is the fallen angel figure among them, who they try to convince you to kill at one point, and he acts completely in line (ie, getting others to help him as he himself cannot act in the human realm directly)... and he still is the primary Anti-Villain of the game, because you can tell he had very good reasons for wanting to rebel. Beyond his motivations, he's made more sympathetic by default by Gerun (the Occuria's leader/spokesperson) being an utter bastard. The fal'Cie of Final Fantasy XIII also fall under this trope, being basically giant elementals who subjugate humans into fighting their civil war for them. And that's just scratching the surface. It turns out that Every Fal'Cie from Cocoon wants their creator The Maker to return, and believe that this demands no less than the sacrifice of Cocoon's entire human population. They don't even mind that The Maker's return would likely lead to their destruction as well. Since the Cocoon Fal'Cie are bound to their duties to Cocoon and cannot directly destroy it, they turn humans into L'Cie in the hopes that they can do it for them. The Cocoon Fal'Cie see humans as nothing more than cattle to be sacrificed to their god. Oh and to elaborate on the subjugation business, they do it by branding people with a Power Tattoo that gives awesome magic powers - at the expense of having to complete a mission within a time limit, or become a crystalline zombie called a Cie'th. And if you complete the task, you get to live forever as a crystal statue. Unless the fal'Cie decide they need you again, in which case you get to go through the cycle again, with the same attendant risk of Cie'thdom. Also they don't actually spell out what you are supposed to do, they just give you a vision and you have to figure it out on your own. Yeah, It Sucks to Be the Chosen One. Final Fantasy XIV brings us the Primals, the gods of the various "Beast Tribes". They're physically summonable to the world, and in fact, this happens quite often. They're also very caring and devoted to their worshippers. The problem is that they tend to be extremely deadly towards anyone who isn't a worshipper and can also "brand" non-worshippers into becoming one. This branding is irreversible, and feeds more power to the Primal, allowing it to continue to exist; Primals require faith and an offering of magic to be summoned, and a constant influx of faith and magic to sustain that summoning. There's also the issue that what's being summoned isn't the god per se, but what the summoner believes their god to be. This can range from "if you don't bother me and my people, we won't bother you" to "because my summoner has a grudge against the nearest city, it must be destroyed and all who live in it killed" to "I will kill everything that isn't a believer because I deserve to be the only god in existence". The Player Character gets the singular "joy" of having to clean up the mess. In Mobius Final Fantasy, Vox is a sneering, petty omnipotent voice of great power, who by his own admission isn't quite a God but "may as well be". Wol thoroughly dislikes him but goes along with his orders out of lack of a choice. Apparently, Vox met his match in Cloud, who managed to be such a jerk that Vox stopped talking to him.

Jerkass Gods / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: on Theros, Heliod, Erebos, Phenax, and Mogis are gargantuan tools, as is post-ascension Xenagos. As beings heavily inspired by the Ancient Greek pantheon, this was probably unavoidable. Heliod goes so far as to backstab his own closest ally, Elspeth, because he doesn't like her being a planeswalker, and is in many ways the ultimate villain of Theros block. Erebos is a slightly lighter example compared to the jackassery of Heliod, but he's described as being envious of the world of the living, and he takes solace in the death of mortals because it makes him aware that mortals feel the same sense of banishment and isolation from the gods that he does. Plus, When Elspeth bargains her life for that of her dead lover Daxos, he agrees to her terms, and after her death releases Daxos from the Underworld... as a Returned. One short story that takes place after Elspeth's death shows that Ajani Goldmane while shacking up with others of his kind, begins to foment a movement among the mortals against the gods. Amonkhet, inspired by Ancient Egypt, generally avoids this, as the gods were designed on purpose to be benevolent. However, Bontu is the Token Evil Teammate who betrayed everyone to a most horrible death to save her own skin. No one shed a tear when she got what was coming to her. The three gods Nicol Bolas turned into his core minions go past "Jerkass" and into outright evil, although given the degree to which he remade them, they may not be capable of moral choice anymore. The demigod pantheon of Shadowmoornote Typed "spirit avatar" instead of god because the set came before Theros is for the most part malicious, with The Seer's Parables illustrating the Crapsack World status of the setting as their fault.

Jerkass Gods / int_a9517b88	comment	Zeus in God of War, particularly the second game. In fact, every other Olympian is a Jerkass of some sorts save for Athena until the end of the third game, Hephaestus and perhaps Hades (who by the third game has plenty of reasons to hate Kratos). Kratos himself when he's the god of war, who goes to do all the things Ares had been before he killed him. Then Ghost of Sparta reveals the reason of said acquired jerkassery: The gods imprisoned his brother in the Realm of Death till adulthood, out of fear he was the Marked One destined to kill the Gods (Actually Kratos). Then Thanatos kills his brother, all under the order of the Gods, particularly Zeus. In fact, if Gods just never messed with Kratos, he probably wouldn't even be so destructive, but when you combine Spartan attitude with being a Cosmic Plaything and a Demigod, shit tends to hit the fan. Explained in the third game by the gods being infected with evils from Pandora's Box. Zeus was infected with fear increasing his paranoia. That being said, the evils from Pandora's Box just made their character flaws more clear; they were major assholes even before that. By God of War (PS4), Kratos has nothing but contempt and mistrust for all gods. He believes they are all monsters who do nothing but cause misery for mortals. He is most ashamed of himself and what he did with his power when he was a god. This strains his relationship with his son Atreus because he has tried to keep Atreus' heritage hidden from him. It doesn't help that the Aesir don't seem to be any better than the Olympians and may actually be worse - while the Greek gods' behavior was partially explained by the evils of Pandora's Box corrupting them, the Norse gods have no such excuse for their brutal cruelty. Just about every story Mimir shares can be summed up as "Odin and/or Thor is a jerk." God of War Ragnarök recontextualizes most of the above since we actually get to meet more Aesir when they're not being antagonistic, and it turns out the situation is more like "Odin is a jerk and is a really bad influence on the others, Thor in particular." Atreus even befriends Thor's daughter Thrud, who is a kind girl and aspiring Valkyrie who's only on Odin's side because she's been raised on pro-Odin propaganda. The only gods who are jerks without redeeming qualities or Character Development are Odin and Heimdall.

Although in this case it's justified; before the cataclysm that kicked off the plot, your culture had lost most of its reverence for the gods and turned them into toys and architectural decorations, so they're a little hacked off at you right now. On the other hand, if you should decide to reject them, they won't begrudge you that, because they think you're just pussing out.

He even considers Enrico Pucci, his closest disciple, a disposable tool. DIO already brought misery to the original timeline via murdering dogs and cats, forcefully causing parents to commit filicide for his entertainment, and giving his minions PTSD, but Heaven Ascension DIO makes it his goal as God to erase every shred of goodness in the universe so he can rule over the bad.

While he has used his powers to help and protect the people of Morrowind in the past and is the main opposition for Dagoth Ur which makes him into a Big Good and Supporting Leader, he has his jerkass tendencies as well. In the distant past, Sheogorath hurled a "rogue moon" at Vivec's new Egopolis. Vivec used his power to stop it in mid-air above the city, saying that it is held in place by the people's love for him. He also spends much of the game's main quest trying to have the Nerevarine killed, but this one is possibly justified. (He is a believer in You Can't Fight Fate, and he knew that all attempts to stop the true Nerevarine would be destined to fail, confirming his identity.) In the Bloodmoon expansion, Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt, is a Downplayed example. He does kidnap the greatest warriors on Solstheim for his "hunt", but he also gives plenty of warnings, prophecies, signs, and such that it is time for the hunt. When a finalist emerges from his hunting grounds to challenge him directly, he also gives that person a sporting chance by fighting him at significantly reduced (but still incredibly strong for a mortal) strength. He also offers a legendary artifact as a reward for defeating him.

Calypso didn't wait and Davy Jones was stuck being the captain of the Flying Dutchman. She claimed that Davy shouldn't have expected anything else from her because she's the embodiment of the capricious and treacherous sea. The fifth movie reveals that Will had to continue being the captain even after his love did wait for him on his day: one can assume Calypso pulled the entire stipulation out of her godly ass just to get a captain for the Dutchman.

This turns out to be a case of limited social development; the sapient force regulating magic can only peer into the human world when someone uses sufficiently powerful magic. Most mages only use sufficiently powerful magic when they're suffering from extreme personal drama, like worshiping their egos or while on the verge of madness, which greatly limits Magic's perception and comprehension of human nature.

Jerkass Gods / int_bd8b694d	comment	Codex Equus: Naturally, some evil/corrupt deities exist, though it's Deconstructed in that this will almost always result in said deities lose their worshipers to their more benevolent counterparts or, worst-case scenario, being killed by the very people they mistreated. The Abyssinian Pantheon was once led by those who would treat their subjects spitefully and cruelly, to the point of abandoning them to the Storm King for giving them poor worship services. They were overthrown by the benevolent members of the Pantheon for this. The Old Orosian deities were based on the Greek Pantheon, so naturally, like their real-life mythological counterparts, the old Orosian gods acted like irresponsible, arrogant, and spoiled children who waged wars and severely punished their worshipers for minor/perceived infractions. As with the previous leaders of the Abyssinian Pantheon, this inevitably bit them in the ass and resulted in their demise, whether by their own mortal worshipers they often abused and forced themselves upon in their own lust, or other divines they similarly mistreated. As noted in Canteros' entry, those of the Pantheon who were genuinely benevolent and/or remorseful survived the event and later founded the Pramanthan Pantheon. It's implied that for all their benevolence, wisdom, and power, and despite being the "greatest" children of the ancient god Equus, the father of all Equines, the Alicorns still fell to stagnation and corruption, becoming arrogant, high-hoofed, and distant from their mortal subjects. This is what gave rise to Morning Star, who tried subjecting the planet Equus and its surrounding universe to his own twisted ideas of perfection. The result was ten Ages of civil war that wiped out most of the Alicorns and utterly destroyed the Alicorn Civilization, causing the survivors to retreat in complete seclusion to replenish their numbers. Despite Golden Scepter's good intentions and efforts as a ruler, PTSD, loneliness, and other untreated issues would gradually bring out his worst flaws and influence him to become little more than a divine tyrant during the Imperium Era. The departure of his old lover, Midday Messenger, didn't make him snap out of it - it only made his downward spiral worse.

Averted with Blue Suede Heartstrings. One In-Universe backstory theory depicted him as this, ala Galactus. According to that backstory, he was once an apathetic and selfish god who constantly ate populated worlds, so he was transformed/reincarnated into an amnesiac mortal and forced to live on Equus as punishment. He gradually Took a Level in Kindness after coming into frequent contact with a single Pony mother and her young son, causing him to appreciate his fellow mortals, and ultimately chose to stay on Equus even after his memories were restored. The reality is that Blue is very humble and compassionate, and only appears in his true form as an Alicorn god when it's absolutely necessary. While presenting themselves as 'good', the Elternteil Deer Pantheon's experiences with non-Deer individuals/races under Irminsul and Arvan's co-reign (especially Grogar I) slowly transformed them into a group of haughty, puristic, reactionary, and xenophobic Deer deities. They're extremely traditional and devoted to nature to the point of fanaticism, and they're extremely intolerant of anything they consider 'evil' or short of their standards. As a result, Deer who leave the forests are seen as abandoning their birthright as 'children of the forest', while hybrids and 'evil' beings are treated with extreme hostility, regardless of what they actually did. They also support 'good' magic to the point of being willing to use it in 'evil' ways. These attitudes caused many of Irminsul and Arvan's children to be abused for not fitting their standards, such as Temnobog and Naur, and eventually it splintered into sub-groups after said children grew sick of their parents' behavior and left. The pantheon itself also developed an extremely poor reputation among both divines and mortals, who are disgusted and outraged with them for various reasons.

Jerkass Gods / int_bee47cbe	comment	Unsounded: The Ssaelit faith is grounded in the belief that the four gods of the original pantheon were apathetic jerkasses who created the world for their personal amusement, made plenty of horrifying mistakes they refused to carefully resolve (as they literally buried most of them under the second generation of creations), and demand yearly child sacrifice with cannibalism. Supposedly, Ssael responded by finding a way to murder the gods and take their thrones for himself. Meanwhile, the Gefendur believe Ssael was a cult nut and their gods are flawed but good. The Inak worship certain powerful Senets as their patron gods, but show disdain for their former goddess Ilganyag for abandoning the Inak in favor of humanity, simply because they were physically similar to her. The truth is far worse.

Jerkass Gods / int_bff01809	comment	The deities in Warhammer & Warhammer 40,000. All of them. Canon does sometimes seem contradictory on this point, though. Khorne wants to see people fight battles, the bloodier and more gruesome the better. In the Warhammer universes, simply being a god of war makes him a possible good guy, while the fact that your viscera would be just as pleasing to him as your enemies makes him one of the bad guys. Slaanesh might want to help you to experience every positive sensation that you can, even turning negative sensations into new kinds of pleasure... but he/she/it definitely wants to force you to experience everything, as a kind of torture-orgy. Papa Nurgle either wants you to help you to accept the pain and suffering of existence in the Warhammer universes, even nullifying some of the effects for you... so that you will be grateful enough to help him "spread the love" by infecting healthy people with incurable diseases and unhealing wounds to help them see how bad the universe is so that they will turn to Grandfather Nurgle and he can help them, too. Oh, and he's holding the lone subversion of this trope - Isha - captive, and experimenting with plagues on her. Tzeentch definitely is a Jerkass God, because he is the god of scheming to such an extent that anything good or bad in the Warhammer universe is his doing. His grand master-plan was responsible for every single happy moment of your life...and every single moment of negativity of any kind. Bloody-handed Khaine is the Eldar god of war and conflict and murder. He was a reckless and brutal jerk of a god who was cursed to have blood forever drip from his hands after he murdered a mortal Eldar hero. In any other setting, he would be a candidate for Big Bad. Here, he's one of the closest things the Eldar have to a Big Good, as the actual Big Good of the Eldar Pantheon is dead. Cegorach the Laughing God is pretty much the Troll god of deception, stealth, creativity, art and trickery. He was the Court Jester of the Eldar Pantheon, spending all of his time mocking everything. On the other hand, he's also one of the closest things the Eldar have to a Big Good since he and his servants the Harlequins guard the secrets of the Black Library from the forces of Chaos, and most of the targets of his trolling really deserve it. He's a bit like Tzeentch, albeit with a slightly better sense of humor. The God Emperor of Mankind may or may not have been a true deity (he denied it but the present-day Imperium worship him as one anyway) but he was an example of Good is Not Nice at best. During his campaign to unite the galaxy under human rule he caused the deaths of billions, xeno and human alike. He also had a lot of trouble relating to others as actual people and had a tendency to keep secrets even when it was a bad idea. His inability to be a proper parent to many of the Primarchs such as Angron, Lorgar, and Magnus, played a huge part in ending the Imperium's golden age. Also, because the beliefs of large groups of sentient beings tends to become the truth in the Warp, he may be a true god yet. Gork and Mork are just a pair of thugs. One likes to hit people when they aren't looking, and the other hits people really hard whether they're looking or not. Fortunately, their worshipers are Orks, a race of thugs whose lives center around hitting people and wandering the cosmos to look for new people to hit. By their standards, their gods are perfectly reasonable. Nobody else in the galaxy would agree with them. The C'Tan are evil star gods who gave the Necrons the means to conquer the galaxy while simultaneously enslaving them. The Night Bringer instilled the fear of death into the sentient races, the Outsider is a Mad God that anybody in their right mind would steer clear of, the Deceiver is another malevolent trickster who helped with the destruction of most of his own brethren, and the Void Dragon is a Draconic Abomination who would rupture the Imperium if he were ever released from his prison on Mars. Subverted with Isha, the Eldar Mother Goddess, who survived the Fall as Nurgle's prisoner/disease Guinea pig. However, whenever he isn't looking, she whispers the cures to Nurgle's plagues to mortals. Now imagine the Hell that must be her life: she's in literal Hell, held captive by her antithesis, who routinely infects her with every malicious sickness that he can think of, then he waits until she cures herself, then uses his observations upon whatever methods she used to cure herself to make his next disease "harder to cure". And all she can do is watch. Whenever Nurgle glances away, she does everything in her power to tell mortals how to cure all of the horrible diseases and plagues that he's developed and released with "her help", however unwilling. Then remember the state of the galaxy as a whole, and guess how often she isn't brushed off as a demon trying to subvert them.

Jerkass Gods / int_c11a5a3e	comment	Helen and Troy's Epic Road Quest: All the gods seem to be fickle and selfish at the best of times. The Lost God curse Helen and Troy where if they don't go on his quest, they die, and the quest itself is basically "find some things and take them to a place" while refusing to actually give any specifics as to the what, where and why. Even worse, their quest is the kind that guarantees that one or both questers die in the end anyway because "the gods love melodrama." Orc religion dictates that unless you can kill one of their gods in a duel after your death, you'll spend the rest of eternity as a corpse on the Mound of Unworthy Bones. The closest anyone has ever come to succeeding is Rork Orabrork, who managed to crack the toenail of Grog (who's described as being a giant orc with five heads) before his skull was used to decorate the top of the Mound.

Jerkass Gods / int_c137e301	comment	Animus from Power Rangers Wild Force is ultimately good, but is more offended by human pollution than by the evil demon things. This is because the pollution is what gave rise to the evil demon things so he thinks the planet is a lost cause and took his kids note that season's zords and the source of the rangers' powers to find another planet to live on. He later explains that this was a Secret Test of Character. Daizyujin is this to an extent in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, notably in regard to Burai. But he's not nearly as bad as Daijinryuu in Gosei Sentai Dairanger, who among other things compels several people to jump to their deaths from tall buildings. Daizyujin is pretty much based on the gods of a lot of religions, being better than the ultimate evils that are around but wouldn't know the meaning of the word "fair." In Burai's case, Burai was only needed to awaken Dragon Caesar, and, though they could probably save his life, which is Living on Borrowed Time, they don't because "it is not needed for him to survive." This is far from the only instance of Guardian Beast Jerkassitude in the series - the fact that the Rangers were working for such Bad Bosses is responsible for most of the dark aspects of an otherwise Lighter and Softer series.

Jerkass Gods / int_c2cc7c42	comment	American Gods (2017): Anansi tells the slaves on the ship that even hundreds of years from then, the only possible future for a black man in America is to suffer and die, and the only thing to do to make their life worth anything is to just kill all the slavers and themselves as sacrifices to Anansi. He even shoots down the suggestion that they kill the slavers and steal the ship. Vulcan owns a gun manufacturing plant in which No OSHA Compliance is in full effect. It's cheaper to settle with the families of the average of two people a year that die after falling into the vats than it is to bring the place up to code (which is by the way an intentional case of Truth in Television - when Gailman got wind of this story, he considered this the closest thing to Human Sacrifice the modern age has). What's more, he explicitly gains power from mass shootings. Any time that someone is killed with his guns, it counts as a human sacrifice to him. Also, he's mean to Shadow.

Jerkass Gods / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm portrays gods in a mixed fashion. Some are shown fairly positively, but many — especially pantheon heads (and the Olympians, who even Jerkass Gods think are Jerks) — are jerks at best, monsters at worst. Bor is not held in particularly high regard by anyone, not even his own family. Thor suggests that he might have murdered his father to become King of Asgard, which Frigga qualifies by adding that while he may not have been able to (Buri was the God of Time and as such, monstrously powerful), it wouldn't have been out of character for him to try, and Brun, the leader of the Disir, with the support of the narration, implies that he was a rapist and a He-Man Woman Hater. While he was an effective military leader and helped keep Asgard safe while expanding its borders, he's considered to be an anomaly (at best) and a throwback to an older, more savage time in Asgard's history. Hera is a straight-up bitch, with her hatred of her husband's demigod children having, over the millennia, morphed into an irrational hatred of all demigods. It is noted that where she goes, demigods tend to die in mysterious circumstances. She makes a veiled threat against Harry's life in a Shame If Something Happened sort of way, while also taking a jab at the fact that he hasn't (as yet) manifested obvious powers from his father. This earns her an outright death threat from Thor, who very bluntly tells her that he can see through what she's saying and that if she makes one wrong move, he'll incinerate her, and a "The Reason You Suck" Speech from the Phoenix a.k.a. Lily Potter as the White Phoenix of the Crown. Zeus isn't exactly a pleasant individual either, as shown in Ghosts of the Past.

For starters, he threatened to imprison the royal crown polisher for 20 years for simply touching his crown, the job he was hired to do, and if his daughter Mindy's statements are correct, he can barely go a single day without trying to execute someone.

Jerkass Gods / int_cfd860dd	comment	In the Nasuverse, pretty much all the gods were assholes, in accordance with their mythological portrayals. Rider's backstory illustrates this quite clearly; she is actually Medusa, and she and her sisters were born out of the wishes of mankind for deities who weren't complete dicks. The Greek gods became jealous of them and conspired to turn their worshipers against them, which led to Medusa becoming a monster. The gods aren't around anymore though, which is probably for the best. Played with in Fate/Grand Order, which gets to showcase some of these divinities in action and shows that, while they can certainly be dicks, many of them run on a Divine mentality that doesn't quite mesh with human ideals like what happens to Artoria Pendragon after she became the Goddess Rhongomyniad in the Sixth Singularity, and they can be just as, well, human as anyone else given time like what happens to Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Quetzalcoatl in the Seventh Singularity. Fate/strange fake shows Ishtar's personality as it would be without Rin's influence to temper it as in Fate/Grand Order. Her main goal is to kill Gilgamesh and Enkidu and doesn't care if Gugalanna will destroy Snowfield in the process.

Jerkass Gods / int_dc524a2	comment	Oglaf: Sithrak the Blind Gibberer would seem to be this, or at least if it's to believe his missionaries. They claim that the reason life is cruel is that Sithrak is angry and insane. The Alt Text reveals that Sithrak does have his standards, though... he doesn't torture you before you're born because that would be creepy. And when a missionary of Sithrak finally meets the god, Sithrak is confused by how terrified the cultist is, before explaining that his promises of eternal torment were just poetry wrote while he was an angry teenager. Even though he resurrects his follower to try to correct their view of him, the Sithrak cultists assume this was just the god toying with their emotions in an act of sadism. In a rare SFW comic, an unnamed god reacts explosively to blasphemies which he's not properly informed his followers as to the nature of.

While he claims that he simply wants Kubo to live him in the Heavens for an eternity without hate or heartache or death, he really wants to take his other eye (having stolen one of them when he was just a baby) to take away his humanity and make him "cold, and hard, and perfect." He seems to see family less like people to treasure and more like objects in his collection, neither mourning nor really caring that all three of his daughters are now dead. The Sisters are Kubo's two aunts, Sariatu's sisters and daughters of the Moon King. Both share their father's contempt of mankind and seek to take Kubo's eye on their father's orders. They both see Sariatu falling in love with Hanzo as How the Mighty Have Fallen and have become embittered by it.

He wants to kill the other Shards in order to make himself the supreme deity. He claims to be the Shard of passion and emotion, the only Shard that thinks and feels like mortals do, yet he’s also one of the only Shards who sees no problem with using and tormenting those same mortals. The Lord-Ruler is a brutal God-Emperor who flits between imposing brutal laws for the ostensible greater good and being utterly apathetic towards his duties. He also deliberately lets a rebellion start and flare out of control, purely to scare his followers and make them more dependent on him. There's also Ruin, who wants to destroy everything, ostensibly as a gift, but engages in obvious sadism along the way. Most of the Returned are lazy jerks, more concerned with wasting the day away than helping their subjects. Lightsong bitterly remarks that the way the Returned’s powers work (they can only perform one miracle, which instantly kills them) means that most of the good ones have already sacrificed themselves, while the bad ones cling to their godhood for as long as possible. The court is now mostly made up of selfish, scheming Returned who never perform miracles.

Jerkass Gods / int_e2fa7287	comment	Touhou: Kanako Yasaka not only waged a war in ages past to usurp another god and was introduced attempting to have all of Gensokyo worship her, her machinations were the initiator for two subsequent games. Her aim was to gather faith at the expense of possibly destroying Gensokyo, since she was trying to take it from the Hakurei Shrine, who maintain the boundary that protects the last sanctuary of magic from the real world where magic is dead (admittedly, Kanako being a goddess from said outside world, she might not have realized the importance of the Hakurei Border)... Later on, her jerkass traits are played with. While pretty manipulative, she has every reason to be seen as a positive influence and is actively introducing outside world technology into Gensokyo. Okina Matara, one of the great sages who founded Gensokyo, made her introduction by starting an incident that threw the seasons out of whack for the alleged purpose of finding new assistants. Her actual reason was not much better as she actually just wanted to cause an incident for the sake of shaking things up, generating faith in the process, and reminding her fellow sages that she was still around. In subsequent appearances, she's almost ruined Sumireko's life, and on one occasion also invited Hecatia Lapislazuli, the goddess of hell, to freely rampage throughout Gensokyo. Word of God has it that she is an old-fashioned god of the kind who is cruel to those who slight her, and Reimu herself more commonly refers to Okina as a youkai than a goddess (to Okina's frustration). Complicating matters are the facts that Okina herself admits to intentionally trying to self-style herself as a villain while everything she does is ultimately for the sake of the realm. The Lunarians are a race of Celestial Gods (as opposed to Okina and Kanako who are both Native Gods) whose society runs on a purity and impurity-based morality... And that would be fine and dandy, if it weren't for the fact that they also exemplify Pure Is Not Good, are huge elitist jerks and regularily consider "purifying" the impure planet Earth just so the Earthlings' impurity will never be able to reach them. Also, the Lunarians created the Things That Go "Bump" in the Night specifically to cull the number of Earthlings.

Jerkass Gods / int_eb6802b4	comment	The fal'Cie of Final Fantasy XIII also fall under this trope, being basically giant elementals who subjugate humans into fighting their civil war for them. And that's just scratching the surface. It turns out that Every Fal'Cie from Cocoon wants their creator The Maker to return, and believe that this demands no less than the sacrifice of Cocoon's entire human population. They don't even mind that The Maker's return would likely lead to their destruction as well. Since the Cocoon Fal'Cie are bound to their duties to Cocoon and cannot directly destroy it, they turn humans into L'Cie in the hopes that they can do it for them. The Cocoon Fal'Cie see humans as nothing more than cattle to be sacrificed to their god. Oh and to elaborate on the subjugation business, they do it by branding people with a Power Tattoo that gives awesome magic powers - at the expense of having to complete a mission within a time limit, or become a crystalline zombie called a Cie'th. And if you complete the task, you get to live forever as a crystal statue. Unless the fal'Cie decide they need you again, in which case you get to go through the cycle again, with the same attendant risk of Cie'thdom. Also they don't actually spell out what you are supposed to do, they just give you a vision and you have to figure it out on your own. Yeah, It Sucks to Be the Chosen One.

Most of the gods are decent enough to mortals, as they all used to be mortal themselves, but as disaster after epic disaster piles up, the pantheon's individual ways of coping become increasingly unhealthy and problematic, not to mention dangerous to the rest of the world and each other. Woden is just genuinely an asshole though. Ananke is perhaps a better example; as the gods' immortal caretaker and mysterious benefactor, she is the closest most of the pantheon have to parents, and sets herself up to the media as the only one capable of stopping a godly rampage. And given she's a manipulative liar who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice the thirteen-year-old Minerva, it can be safe to say that regardless of her still-opaque motives, she falls squarely into this territory.
