Candidate God

A candidate god can be either an Idol, Demigod, Divine Theory or even a Major Entity (like an Archdevil). Sometimes even Immortals, but not all of them. All of them have a chance of becoming a True God, which isn't an easy thing to do. Getting a Portfolio is just a first step (Demigods have an advantage here), then enough followers and finishing with a special ritual, tailored to each being (this will be revealed to them once they achieve their goals). If they achieve all of that, they will ascend and become a Lesser Deity.
