Sphere: Weather
Appearance: Procella appears to be a tall, graceful young woman. She has vermilion eyes, yellow skin, and white, cloudlike hair. Procella is graceful and wears a simple uniform made of bird feathers and frog skins. She wears assorted pieces of jewelry and carries a crosbow. Procella is always surrounded by clouds.
Description: Procella is a moody goddess of extreme passions. She tends to be wrathful and merciless to those who anger her, but loving and devoted to those she likes. She is also a little bit arrogant, but willing to admit another as her better if beaten in a fair contest of some sort (assuming the contest is relevant to whatever she's admitting being worse at, of course). Procella empathizes with mortals and manifests among them fairly often when she can do so safely, appearing as a female of the normal race (always with green eyes).
That reminds me someone....
Oh, dear. Who?
It might be the OTHER goddess who is admittedly fond of mortals,  temperamental, rash, and always appears as a female.

I know how to make your god stick out.  Have her absolutely despise mortals but need them for worship because she is a younger god.  Thus it creates a paradoxical relationship of need and hatred that only goes to further fuel her contempt for the people of the world.  She would also dislike other gods most likely because of the "surprising" similarity they have with mortal personalities.

I am visualizing Kar'lan as emotionless due to being a judge of souls, and needing to be imparital due to that.  I can't think of a mortal with that personality.

Yeah I can think of quite a few people on a personal level that at least outwardly appear pretty emotionless.  Anyway even if you assume she doesn't see any similarities in your god, there are still plenty of other gods with mortal personality tendencies.  I mean we're all humans role playing these characters, so how could they not have at least some human personality to them?

Well, I was hoping to play the one bastion of kindness, morality, and so forth in a sea of violence and cruelty...

Well then, back to the modification board.

Alternatively, have her see mortals as more interesting than the gods, and more accepting of her gifts (weather).

Yeah you could differentiate yourself from Vanida by actually treating mortals kindly because you care for them and not just making babies with them and then running off to enjoy your freedom.  So in other words a more responsible version of Vanida maybe?  Less lust and more motherly affection?

Then again being a nice god didn't work out for you so great last time did it...  Maybe you're better off just being a selfish jerk this time around.

There's already plenty of selfish jerks, thank you very much. Actually caring about mortals...I thought I had that, but I might as well make it a more notable and central part of Procella's character.

You did have that.  It just wasn't as emphasized as it could have been considering you want to try and stand apart from a somewhat similar god(dess).

Although Vanida is more about personal freedom.
As in her freedom.

Furthermore the Pantheon can burn 5 Acts to prevent the complete Death of the God. What happens then to him you ask? That depends on how he was killed and how you intend to safe him.
Preventing death isn't bringing someone back to life. The former includes CPR, the latter includes Jesus.

A Key word there was killed, suggesting that he was already dead

The way I read it is, "how he would have been killed," which makes more sense to me than shoehorning "prevent" to mean "undo."
