The original intent of the game was that the Celestials were just people from this other world, who actually (oft accidentally) inspired the mythologies that humans went on to create. Not that they<em>actually</em>did those things. However, I poorly explained this, and by the time I caught I had poorly explained it there were like three character sheets posted and they were clearly "I am this god" rather than "I am a person who somehow inspired people to create the mythos of this god", and I ultimately just sorta rolled with it because I didn't want to make everyone shift everything.<br/><br/>So as for breakdowns, my answer is sort of no. Basically there's the Elysium, the three individuals who rule over Elysia. And then that's really it. The rest of the Celestials sort of live their lives how they want, unless for whatever reason they receive some kind of directive, and that does happen (such as the case with my character, for instance). There are definitely Celestials with like powers ("Thor" & "Zeus"), and that certainly gives them common ground but there's no... Uhhh... Vying? For "I'm god of thunder", because the Celestials don't really see themselves as gods? They're just people with powers.<br/><br/>If that all makes sense?<br/><br/>I guess the most direct answer is no, there's no real reason for any particular pantheon or what have you to stick together (because those classifications are human, not Celestial).
