Growing Up Gods

Question: How do you guys treat people who were deified by mortals, such as Caesar and Augustus?

Now seems like a good time to plug that Search feature over on the right-hand side of the blog (it's below the polls, keep scrolling!); we blog a lot and on a wide variety of topics, so it's easy to miss something we might have talked about a long time ago. In the case of deifying mortals, there's a post discussing it already up over here for your perusal.

The quick redaction is that if you want them to actually become deities, then they were probably Scions who received Visitations and eventually hit apotheosis; if you don't want to use them as deities, they were probably humans who were making stories up or the product of mortal misinterpretation. Since Scions themselves are literally deified mortals, progressing from fragile normal mortality to becoming full-blown gods, they cover most of these cases admirably.
