As a help to you, I'll include that the typical God has a few things:
- Several favored forms he takes when speaking to mortals, or manifesting. Alreos, the guy I mentioned, often appears as an elf with golden armor, with scrolls over it, and the smell of incense spreading from him.
- An army of his own angels. Some of them are the typical, winged angels you see in Christianity, while some will be unique creations of his own. A Water God might have 'hired' Water Elementals or Spirits that represent the Concept of Rain to work for him, for an example.
- A realm of his own. Generally, Gods have the power to shape their realms to how they see fit, so it can be infinitely large, it can be a flying isle, or it can be some unimaginable moon-like meteor where you don't need air to breathe. They can set the laws of physics, the magic, and they energize the leylines of their realms with fresh mana to keep everything nice and juicy and make their angels happy. There may also be physical or spiritual creatures that are unique to the God's realm. They get to do what they want. It's their place.
- At least a small (perhaps even nameless, or structureless,) cult following on Terra (Earth.) Even a minor deity of Air will have a few hundred families pray to him occasionally once a year, but he might find more luck with sailors or winged humanoids as his worshippers.

I will let @Birdsie decide on what was his stance on the War btw Lucifer and the Gods, perhaps neutral? Oh, and you can do some correction both grammatical and to adapt it to the world. @Oshha Sorry it took sometimes to get the good images.

I doubt it. 95% of the Gods pretty much kill demons on sight. They don't even give them time to explain themselves, because no matter what kind of demon it is, it's still a demon, the angel of Lucifer. It's a thing "not meant to exist."
Really, any angel who doesn't kill a demon the instant it sees it is considered a traitor and a member of the fallen. And that's not even delving into the fact that half-angelic, half-demonic creatures exist.
Regardless, I like the idea. It's almost like Odin, and the realm is basically Valhalla except only heroes instead of ordinary warriors. I imagine that Baragar rests in the Throne of Heroes and should Artoria die, even temporarily, or travel to that realm, you will have a meeting with grandpa. Speaking of which, I hope If it comes to that, I portray him well, because I didn't play him and I only know his personality based on what I've seen.

Dying in a fight seems too easy(honorable cause or not it or every little brave guy defending his woman will get a pass) to join the place where Legendary Heroes rest... Oh and sorry for any errors , French is my primary langage so... yeah @Oshha So what do ya think ?
Avalyn Ceinwyn the Heroine, Goddess of Heroism, Hope, Defiance and Courage Titles: The Heroine, the Lady, the Lady of the Lake, the Heroine of Justice, the Guardian of Mortals, the Sentinel of Humanity, the Protector of Helpless, the Watchman of Innocent, the Slayer of Evil and the Guide of Heroes.
Appearance: Avalyn mainly comes in two main forms, one which is a lady form which is for non-heroics and everyday business while her heroine form is for when there is conflict at hand or evil to be routed out.
While her exact form varies depending on where she is appearing and whom to, Avalyn shares several characteristics that she almost always has. Avalyn is beautiful and distinctive, an inspiring and attention gaining figure who cannot not be missed or ignored. She almost universally appears as a human female with a preference for a classic look of long blonde hair and blue eyes. However, the latter features are not stuck in stone and it is not uncommon for her to appear with red hair, green eyes or brown eyes and hair.
Her lady form is generally older than her heroine form, taking the shape of a matron on the younger side of things. With more fiery colours such as red, gold, yellow and brown, Avalyn is less combat-focused and more suited to battles of words and subtlety. She generally wears gowns and wields magic primarily. She is also wiser and calm and gives indirect aid such as advice and wisdom and directions.
Her heroine form is a young maid in the peak of their youth and what primarily comes to mind when mortals think of Avalyn. Her colours are also different swapping out red and brown for blue, white and silver. Avalyn is more combat focused and direct in her heroine form. Clad in plate armour with a shield and sword, she offers more direct aid such as weapons, armour and other things that are useful for the task of battling evil in open combat.
Personality: Avalyn is generally a calm and collected goddess, but can easily get excited, especially when it comes to doing good and fighting evil. She is merciful and believes in second chances. An idealistic person, Avalyn strongly believe in the potential good in all creatures and does her best to inspire others to do the best that they can and make the world a better place.
While some see as naïve, Avalyn is still a veteran warrior with excellent strategic and tactical ability with a master of almost every weapon and combat magic along with many other magic disciplines.
She is also the most active and interfering of deities, taking every chance to personally intervene or aid those in aid. This is because Avalyn firmly believes in walking the walk and not just talking the talk. Because of this, just as she inspires others to be heroes and do their best to make the world a better place, Avalyn attempts to do so herself. This often earns her the ire of other deities as they feel she interferes too much and is too attached to mortals. Angels: Avalyn's angels take the form of fallen heroes who sworn themselves into her service even after their deaths. These Heroes and Heroines are her Servants, each granted powers beyond what they had in life based on what they achieved before their deaths.
This results in the Servants of Avalyn being immensely strong warriors who Avalyn actively uses as agents when she is unable to directly come to the aid of those in need.
She also lets others summon them, but due to their immense power, it requires a powerful mage to maintain the mana needed to keep up their existence on the mortal plane and even then, it leaves them weaken. In times of great need or those she particular favours, Avalyn will directly empower a still mortal hero or heroine so that they gain powers on par with those of her Servants.
Realm: The Ever Distant Utopia. A paradise where there is eternal happiness and no want or need, her followers have their souls go here after death with her Heroes and Heroines safeguarding this land, maintaining an unending watch on its borders. Those who live in the Ever Distant Utopia have a personalised home which swifts and alters to match what they currently need or wish for.
The land itself consists of fertile fields with lush forests and spectacular rivers. At the centre of the Ever Distant Utopia is the Infinite Lake where Avalyn herself resides in the them middle of it, in her personal castle with white walls that shall never fall as long as its defenders are willing to fight the good fight.
Worshippers: Heroes and adventurers are the primary worshipers of Avalyn, but she accepts all followers as long as they uphold her ideals of heroism. Because of this, doctors, teachers and guards often find themselves as followers of Avalyn due to how they desire to make the world a better place and improve or save the lives of others.
It is not uncommon for followers of other gods to worship Avalyn on the side, especially those in dangerous professions or folks who risk their lives when carrying out their duties. Furthermore, those who are crippled, disabled or just down on their luck will often turn to Avalyn in their prayers as she will do her best to improve their lives.

I like it ! Thought both the Civilian and Heroine appearance are impressive and stand out , if you want a Civilian appearance a normal farm girl or a normal noble girl...
Just to make sure the Civilian form is to blend in with the mortals right ?
Images could be spoilered for size and the Angels could be described a bit more as could the god's personality.
@Birdsie
For my one, I could decide between someone based off a fantasy heroine or the Lady of the Lake from the Arthurian Legends so I combined the two with the heroine form being based off of the former while the lady form is based off of the Lady of the Lake.
The Heroes and Heroines basically operate as Servants with Avalyn taking the place of Gaia/Alaya. Her realm is a mixture of the Throne of Heroes/the fairy land Avalon as per her two inspirations with some originality added in for originality.
Her lady form is a wiser, magically-powerful mentor figure while her heroine form is a frontline companion. Blue Oni vs Red Oni respectively.
I also tried to portray as a "I do stuff" sort of Goddess so as her per Aspect of Heroism, she actually tries to be a hero and make the world the better place, which earns her the adoration of mortals, but ire of her fellow deities for being too active. She is also more an individual who personally helps or sends someone else in her place. Her followers are not organised with each one personally worshipping her and her Servants aren't organised and are more a collection of individuals than any sort of organisation. Basically Warrior vs Soldier so while she intervenes and helps out a lot, it is on a personal scale rather than anything organised.
The Throne of Heroes is a little tad on the nose, but I'm not the sort of person who can complain about that sort of thing.
I'm also certain that only one Aspect is allowed while you got half a dozen.

@Birdsie Didn't comment on it so i can consider it safe , since they are pretty close aspect just to fill oh and added some things like the Personality and Worshippers a little bit inspired from you but still different.

@Oshha, @Terran Imperium
In order to resolve which of the Gods the Baragar family swears fealty to, we should hold a vote. I'll make one in the next update. The one who wins gets the same reward as they would get from an omake.
Off-topic, Terran Imperium, if you want help with your grammar, there's a Chrome addon I use to make sure I write everything correctly (I'm not a native English speaker either.) It's called Grammarly. Check it out, if you want.
It is a girl's name with its origins in Brythonic and a modern way Welsh girl name. Welsh Names-by meaning
May I also make the suggestion of your god being the God of Knights, Honour and more organised stuff while Avalyn is the Goddess of Heroism, Adventurers and the more individual stuff? At the moment, there is a lot of overlap. Some of it such as realms can be excused as being two separate realms of which those residing in one can visit the other.
I feel there is potential for them to be God and Goddess who fulfil similar, but different roles like two sides of the same coin, but at the moment, I feel that there is too much overlap and some bits contradict each other.

I can do that but where does that place the "Throne of Heroes"? Oh, and can we make them siblings? You did choose Ceinwyn as a surname after all
EDIT: Got to go, guys , sorry need to sleep, I got a lot of work after all.
Maybe have it so rather than your god having all of the heroes, he only has those who followed him in life like Avalyn? Because at the moment, they contradict each other as Avalyn can't have her Heroes and Heroines as her Angels/Servants if your god has all of the heroes in his realm.
I think it would work well if both had their own version of the Throne of Heroes which contains their dead followers while for Angels, your god has legions of numerous knights or something while Avalyn has her Servants, which fits the theme of Quantity vs Quality or Soldiers vs Warriors quite nicely.
Sure. I still think we should make them a different as at the moment as they overlap a bit too much right now, especially with your god claiming Avalyn's followers as his own.
@Birdsie How would it work if Terran Imperium's god tries to lay claim over Avalyn's followers by claiming all heroes?
I like the name.

Then there'd be a lot of heat between them. In addition, celestial bureaucrats responsible for assigning souls to specific realms wood be hella confused.
