A god and a hero's tale

You are a god in the godly plane. And as a god you can select a hero to control (very limited control) A god can give gifts and punishments, guide him on his quests and band with other gods to force the hero to make friends. You will make allies and enemies in the godly realm based on the hero's actions. And you will have to negotiate and resolve any issues and cooperations. Overall you can have your hero do the dirty work and watch the legacy of your hero unfold.
