It is the sacred scrolls of Nizuul that speak of the story which we recite. The Gods were all mighty and powerful, sitting immortal in heaven. Humanity waged it's wars and spilled blood for their Gods, fighting over which was more superior. With time however, the humans realized that the Gods were only holding them back. The Gods were a force to be tamed just like any aspect of nature. If the Gods touched the Earth, they became mortal in certain aspects. They could not be killed, however, they could be affected by magic. One at a time the various Gods were lured to the Earth and sealed into a human form. The Gods were allowed to live in peace on the Earth in their sealed forms which would contain their power to that of a normal mortal. You were once an all powerful God, now reduced to mere mortal scum.. Welcome to the Earth, enjoy your stay.

Useful information
The RP mostly takes place in the city of Ravnica, which is home to several guilds and powerful people. Ravnica is shaped like a hexagon, each portion being dedicated to different things. The top slice is the political section which houses politics and the law making government process. The top right is farming and food production. Bottom right is cemeteries and various services related to death (And the occasional necromancer offering their powers.) The bottom right is industrial buildings, dedicated to production of various important products to the city. The bottom houses the service industry such as entertainment, bars, inns, and so on. The bottom left is residential space where people live.
The RP takes place in a fantasy steam punk type era. There is steam power and basic items, however no fire arms or electrical lighting.
Magic is fairly common in Ravnica, but not so much world wide. The majority of people do not know how to use magic. As a God, the odds are you know some degree of magic relating to your power. You can easily fit in, however you should avoid revealing yourself as a God. People aren't too fond of the Gods anymore.
All players will have a seal. You can choose where it is though. It'll appear like a circle of symbols around something related to your element (Such as if you're the God of storms it'd be a storm cloud.)
I am a very free form GM. I have a vague plot but not a single one of my characters has "plot armor", and my plan will change. You can do whatever. Be creative! If you want to try to find a way to break your seal, go ahead, just be logical and give it time. Wage war on humans. Start a faction. Just enjoy yourself!

Backstory (All Gods started as humans. Tell me how you became a God, why you were God of (insert thing here), your rank amongst the Gods, et cetera.): Born and raised in the city of Thum, Keranos was a curious child from the start. He spent much of his time conducting experiments and learning, and even excelled at school. His education soon led him to magic and he was sent to the Mages Academy in Ravnica. Keranos showed exceptional skill with lightning and fire, even scaring some of his teachers. Around the age of thirteen he found a new interest: becoming a God. It was well known how to become one, challenge the Gods and prove your worth. Keranos spent much time studying and preparing for the battle, covering himself in various runes to combat whatever God he may have fought. In the end he fought Erebos, one of the high Gods, and won his respect. Because of his intelligence and mastery over lightning and fire he was dubbed the God of Science and Storms. Upon being summoned to the Earth he was sealed quickly by mages. His seal is in the form of a beaker on his left shoulder.
