Godling

A godling (also known as a host) is a mortal whom is hosting a god.

Description
Gods require some sort of link to the mortal realm or else they may be banished back to the Duat. Godlings can be possessed in various degrees; some are completely controlled by the god and take on their favored appearance, while others are only influenced and maintain the host's appearance. Godlings may also be almost anything, such as an animal or even an object, but gods prefer humans because they are creative and can break out of patterns.

The House of Life considers all godlings to be threats and actively hunts them down. While they prefer to banish the god without harming the host, they are not above killing a godling should the need arise.

Not all gods require a host to manifest. Anubis, for example, may manifest in any graveyard, place of death, or place of mourning. However, he can take a host if he so choses, but before Walt Stone, had never done so before. Similarly, Set may manifest any where when his Pyramid is constructed. Nut does not require a host because she is the sky and may manifest at anytime. Geb also does not require a host because he is the earth.

Those who hosted gods became very powerful. Then Sadie was the Eye of Isis the very force of Ma'at coursed through her and the divine words were at her command. Every time a host channels the power of the god they become more powerful and are more likely to burn up from the power. The god will also accelerate the development of a magicians magicial ability. Carter was able to summon a combat avatar and Sadie was able to use a divine word with no practise.

A person who becomes a godling and merges with the god so that they are a perfect union of the two become known as the Eye of that god. They are a being who posseses traits of both god and human, but with neither overpowering the other. This is a very rare thing to happen and only happens with humans who are of the Blood of the Pharaohs. Examples of this are Carter Kane with Horus, Sadie Kane with Isis and Walt Stone with Anubis and the pharaohs who were god-kings while alive, usually hosting Horus. If such a being exists, the other gods don't interfere in it even if they leave the Earth as shown when Anubis was allowed to remain on Earth with Walt Stone when the other gods exiled themselves.
