['Xander Lavell': Warrior Smith] (Finding A Spouse & Protecting Your Fellow Gods Will Be Easy...)

You awake cold, wet, and disoriented in the midst of a large cavern.

You have vague memories of being some kind of Demon Hunter in your previous life but cannot recall that existence with any degree of clarity...

You know many useful things about your new life through:
1: You have been reborn as a God, a member of a smallish pantheon.
2: You are your pantheon's Artisan/Smith deity: yours is the arts of forge and craftsmanship.
3: You are also a warrior god, not unlike Thor in your present role: you both craft the weapons of your pantheon and take them up in your fellow gods' defense.

You sit up and look at yourself in the reflection of a puddle of still water...

You have short dark hair, dark eyes, tanned skin, are nude, and have a nose that has been broken a time or three too many. You are very muscular, and through your body bears many scars it is quite handsome: if you do say so yourself.

You look around you and see the other members of the pantheon...
