Top 10 deities in video games

Rule 1: They have to be from a video game I've played
Rule 2: One character per game (not per franchise, per GAME)
Rule 3: My judging will be based off of their appearance, personality and powers/abilities
Note: Deity in this case is being used in the broadest sense of the term (which means this list can include demigods and those with titles that denote godliness such as Overlord and the like)

10) The God of Destruction
[Insert Picture Here, because I can't fucking find one]
Game: Lost Kingdoms
As far as his looks goes, he's got an awesome cosmic look to him. Not to much of a personality except for his need for destruction. His powers include creating explosions out of nowhere, immortality, magic ground circles that deal massive damage, possession and summoning creatures without the assistance of a runestone and cards.

9) Ashera
Game: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Not as awesome looking as the God of Destruction but her overall appearance does give way to believing her to being a deity. Her personality is considerably pessimistic, having given up hope in mortals and simply turning most of the world into statues. Her powers include blessing objects, light-based attacks, turning mortals into stone, omniscience, immortality, and protective aura.

8) Gade

Game: Gravity Rush
His appearance is that of an old man, which I think works quite well, no one would ever suspect a homeless old man to be the creator of the world. He is very caring person who has continuously helped Kat help solve the problems of the world. His powers include being able to creating worlds (but being unable to control the contents within them), immortality and has portal bellybutton that lead to various rift planes.

7) Althena
Game: Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
Althena is beautiful in overall appearance which is expected of a goddess of harmony. Her personality is one of peace and care. Her powers include creating the world, magic, a mystical singing voice that holds various effects, immortality, and reincarnation.

6) Raiden

Game: Mortal Kombat
His appearance is overall is reminiscent of a wise, Japanese elder. He is a confident god, though he is not without his share of worries. His powers include teleportation, lightning based attacks, masterful martial artists, immortality, gradual reincarnation, and flight.

5) Chaos

Game: Dissidia: Final Fantasy
His appearance resembles more of what one would expect Satan to look like. He is a very calm and arrogant being. His powers include superhumanly strength, flight, skilled hand-to-hand combatant, skilled swordsmanship, various fire and earth-based attacks, immortality, summoning warriors to serve him and his power over destruction.

4) Tyrant Overlord Baal
Game: Disgaea
He looks like an ogre. I can't say too much about his personality because he almost never talks. His powers include interdimensional transportation, being able to change size and shape,self-duplication and creating swords out of nowhere.

3) Ganon
Game: The Legend of Zelda
Physical Appearance: A towering boar-like monster
Skills and powers: proficient swordsmanship, superhumanly strength, endurance stamina, Magical mastery

2) Thanatos
Hehehe, ya thought Kratos would make it on this list, didn't ya? He's on here because he's from the very first GoW game I actually played. Two, he's the Greek god of death, as far as even the GoW series goes, there's only so many characters that can top that. His physical appearance, he looks like an emo. Anyway, his powers include flight, energy blast, proficient swordsmanship, create a miniature blackhole, godly strength, endurance, stamina and become a gigantic winged beast to further enhance his powers. He's cruel, sadistic, and vengeful at the loss of his daughter.

1) Asura

AHHHH, GRRRRRRRRRR, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH.
I can't even describe how ridiculous this character is as far as his power goes. He clearly cares about mankind, but he'd be willing to give up the world for his daughter. His powers include godly strength, speed, endurance, stamina, flight, energy blast, masterful hand-to-hand combatant, six-armed form, thousand -arm form.
