Gods of Modern Times: Gods of the Internet

Gods of the Internet: Too many to count, but here are a few of the major ones.

Megaladromo - King God of the Internet, one of the more powerful gods in existence today. He aims to be a benevolent god, but like many other gods he has inadvertently caused some harm as well. However, by and large is well loved and worshiped by most people in the world.

Visatex - The Goddess of Facebook. Fond of drama, gossip, and rumor, many might think that she is a terrible and mean spirited goddess, but her intentions are to keep friends and families close, even when they are far away. Unfortunately this has also caused  almost as many problems for her followers, as not.

Infotellicus - Hermaphrodite God of Google. Continues to grow in power and wisdom, but is feared by other gods. Also nearly omnicient, at least on the internet. Seems to have a deep abiding love for cats. Typical prayer: "Oh God, please tell me the answer's here somewhere."

Xenotrol - God of Reddit. He has many personalities, and many sub-gods but is a very democratic god, listening to the prayers of his followers. Also the god of popularity, and is in fact worshiped by many famous people, who give testimony at his behest, inviting other followers to "Ask them anything."

Malus and Porticus - Sibling gods of Mac and PC.  Malus was once seen as a goddess of art, music, apathy, and bohemianism, but has since become somewhat stubborn and controlling of her followers. Porticus on the other hand has always been the more powerful of the two, though many would say that he is also more dim-witted than his sister. Their rivalry has always been amicable though their followers tend to be at odds quite often.

Telegenica - Goddess of YouTube. Very voyeuristic goddess, watching her followers, and inviting them to watch eachother. Loves performance and enjoys when people make idiots of themselves. Recently married Infotellicus, although no one's really sure why.

Suffucus - The evil god of slow internet speeds. Delights in slowing things down in times of great need, but in times where speed is not needed, he takes no interest.
