Some cool names there ^^ I'm always loved the name Artemis, and the Greek Goddess of the same name XD
I use Lucrezia in one of my books, and Maya too.
But overall wicked choices ^^
Also I wanna ask, do you have most of your characters as Female?

It sure does seem that way. Most of the male ones are balancing filler but yes most of the "special" ones are gals, partly it makes them cooler imo and partly because fiction is already crammed with badass men. Exceptions: Lucius the "charming" rogue, Borvo the golden healer, Krorgnashr/Baldemar the orc monk, Cerberus subject #12 ZEUS, Victor the "CEO" of S&A, Ivan Voyna, Dushara the ancient king of the gold moon

Haha xd I ask because there was a time my stories were just filled with Women xD I preferred it, and had the same thought "there's too many books with most guys anyway!". But I found a way to balance the genders out, but most of the high level peeps are women ;P

Hehe, high-level. The Most Mighty One, Uzza, Ancient Queen Of The Silver Sun, Her Royal Highness, Emperess and Supreme Commander of the Domain of Arcadia, Goddess of War, the Shining Leviathan, Star Flare, She Who Wields Heaven's Thunder....blah blah blah, etc

I meant more, Captains of ships, and high level positions in places. after all, by super big bad ultimate character Protogonus, is a guy. It was originally going to be that Ruliya one day surpassed him but, I have better plans for her ;P
Also, that is quite a lot of titles for one deity xD
All I have is Ruliya, Angel of darkness, Goddess of destruction, Death Incarnate! Maybe one or two more I forget at this precise moment. She's also the Supreme High Commander of the Empires Fleet and Military. So, not as many titles ;P

Uzza technically isn't actually a deity, she's just the verse's equivalent of an atlantean who merged with an "angel" and became a Nephilim. She's 100% incapable of magic due to that (being a nephilim) but she's considered to be a deity on pure physical might because she's just that freakishly strong.
Common people of that world elevate to god status anyone they think must be a deity, even though CAS is known widely enough.

Hahah. That's pretty cool. Ruliya killed the Angel of Death and absorbed her power (event though the Angel of Death can't be killed. Yea, that's how badass she is ;P) She's also immune to magic. There is an aura of dispell kinda thing around her, so that any and all magics dissipate before ever reaching her. Her powers are basically energy manipulation, to even the smallest of degrees. She creates weapons and basically anything from thin air by manipulating the atoms and forming them into whatever she needs. Her clothing is also made this way, which is why her clothing "tearing" is her losing cohesion on the atoms when her power gets lower.
Also, sorry to clog up your Miscellany xD

Mages with skill/mastery honed high enough can achieve TK and then matter manipulation. Not energy because that's already what magic is. I have a "death" too, though I went with the "personification of a fundamental aspect of the verse" route. It/s/he (prolly she most of the time) responds to all mythological grim reaper names and to simply the word "death" in any language, looks as "she" is expected to look by whoever sees her. Her dominion extends to meta interpretation of death and thus to universal+ oblivion, since even existence itself can "die" and she possesses representations of the "lives" of everything in her dominion. Those are similar to her physical appearance in that they look different depending on expectations. In both cases this due to minds interpreting lesser and flawed visions to avoid being broken or destroyed. Of course she could force the true forms into minds were she ever so inclined.

I say energy rather than matter, because fundamentally everything is made up of energy. Protons and electrons orbit a nucleus, energy is being used. While she responds to Death (and any other name for death). She can be seen in whatever form the viewers mind thinks, she kinda mentally overrides it and she's seen as how she is (like in some of my pics). If she's not fond of you she will also show you every way you could have died up until that point, and every other way they may eventually die. "Think of all the times I could already of had you, and how many more times I might spare you."
The thing about her manipulation is it can be on a singular scale, planetary, galactic, universal, plus. But this goes back to because she's basically a genetic twin of Protogonus, who controls, everything xD

I know matter is energy too but it's harder for mages to control solid matter than just fluid nigh-massless energy. Though extreme further mastery beyond matter manipulation results in actual, universal (as in all types, not in scale) energy manipulation and the mage essentially becomes a reality warper. Srtr is like that ^^ +

Ah, I see what you're saying ^^
Reality warping's fun ;P But in my sci-fi verse, that kinda stuff will be limited to the very top tier. Probably only Protgonus and Ruliya.

The only true reality warper in my SF is Theresa Wolfenstein, aka The Harvester. S&A's leader (and theresa before becoming "changed") has pretty crazy tech powers that might be mistaken for RW and Madeleine Moreau has energy absorbing and deflecting enhancements that are kinda like it if you squint.
But The Harvester is the only actual real deal. She makes Dr.Manhattan look like an half-assed stage magician.
