Gods, Spirits, and Reincarnation · 3:19am Aug 17th, 2014
Okay I need to get this all out now or else I'll forget.
GODS:Include Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Cadence and later Prosper are the Highest forms of ascension. Gods cannot be killed but they can be weakened and imprisoned. All of them are capable of creating or claiming spirits and are incredibly powerful.
SPIRITS: The rest of the mane six and Discord are spirits, they all serve under their patron gods. Wisdom ascended into a spirit but is yet to be claimed by any god. Spirits can be killed but reincarnate after a while. When they do they become free game and can be claimed by any god(even the ones not listed) unless they were a spirit of a specific aspect like Discord, in that case they're sort of automatically assigned or choose. Spirits can change patron gods at any time unless, like the mane six, they are directly tied to the patron.
REINCARNATION: All ponies, gryphons and other sentient creatures are reborn, all but their memories are lost as they travel through the life cycle. there is a separate God of death but I don't want to give him a cliche name.* He doesn't associate with the other gods and has no spirits to speak of.
*EDIT; i've named him Thanatos. it seemed like a good idea at the time.
