"Draw (or describe) a depiction of a god or deity in your world"

This one is one of my favourites.. I hope you inlcude him in your world, because he likes to travel.

The God PHUK. (ouch)

This God, is praised and worshiped across the world for many, many reasons. People pray to him for a myriad of reasons:

* because they found something awesome, 
* or saw something amazing,
* or hurt themselves,
* or want to emphasize something in his name,
* or all of the above, at the same time!

This God, is a mighty god and with all this worship, he gives out presents. Many Eons ago, he discovered the best present is a red brick.

In the very early days, when a prayer was made, he would throw the brick from high, at his workshipper and when it struck them in the head, they would pray to him again.. WOW he thought.

So he gifted them again, yet often the second brick did not warrant a third prayer, Such kind followers, not to burn through his powers.

Some people took his bricks and made temples to worship him. When they prayed in this temples, the whole temple would collapse upon the priest and bring the priest to his heaven. An efficient way to directly bring leaders to his kingdom in the afterlife.

Since the world was so wonderful, he watched further as others would use these bricks in the building of his houses.. then later, when a worshipper would pray to him, the brick would do its job and re-gift itself to that person. Amazing thought the god.. I don't even have to create bricks, and I still receive the worship.

Everyone knows of the god, They know of the gifted bricks and the love that he brings the world. People have started to show the god a time of rest, but not praying so much.

Soon, several other gods began to follow in his ways, and a small pantheon of gods were formed. They are known as Carlins Seven.

Due to even the written prayer being enforced, I can only refer to the gifts given by the seven.

The First God, upon prayer, will ensure you slip in or on, that which you prayed for.
The Second God, upon prayer will ensure you now need to do so,
The Third God, is the god of this article,
The Forth Goddess, Will summon forth a Warrior of Social Justice to swat you,
The Fifth God, Will cause a farm animal to be angered at you,
The Sixth Goddes Will cause your female parent to curse you, as she recieves the Third gods present,
And the Seventh Goddess will ensure that the next time her namesake are visible, your vision is blocked by another.

...

This god was enforced when I was a teenager, roleplaying at the kitchen table with my friends (no basements in Australia) my mother would exclaim her ire at hearing bad words, so we introduced the first god as punishment, and the later gods when we saw George Carlins show.

This still didn't stop one of our Dwarves from his life long mission to build a tavern from said bricks.
