I know that adjusting to a new name is a serious undertaking for most people, but the common use of an individual's god name does not seem to be wide spread. Admittedly, my sample size is still relatively small, but most of the other gods I have met thus far have introduced themselves with their mortal names first, and then given their god name second. Is this because many have not yet adjusted to the new name, or are we not supposed to use our god names?

I'm making the adjustment myself, and I think it would be easier if I was a little more informed about what my relationship with my god name is meant to be. I, personally, am perfectly comfortable with dropping my old title in favor of Hermes, but if it's something meant for followers only, I can adjust my expectations accordingly.

It can be hard to ignore. Both internally and externally.

Humans always want more too. Maybe you're not so different as you want to believe.

It's a lesson I had to learn the hard way. If you rely on others to determine your worth, you will always come up wanting. I spent most of my life being not good enough. Now, I'm the only one who can say what's good enough.

Maybe. We were fashioned off of the greed of others, and we can never be whole no matter how much of the world we devour.

I am a Greeed. We were created to always want. Though I suppose that has changed a little now that I'm suppose to be a god now.

That is... not a feeling I am unfamiliar with. Perhaps not as strongly as you might, but I know what it means to be dissatisfied. To hunger for more without seeing an end in sight.

Do you feel like it's changed? Have you found some measure of satisfaction?

I have only met two other humans who knew a taste of the hunger a Greeed has.

It had at one time. I am unsure at this moment.
