These things happens. Though I must admit my own address is from a historical fantasy called Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. My father named me after one of the minor characters in the book.
1. No. I'm not. My father and uncle (and possibly my brother, I don't know much about him) have had several children over the years and I have a younger cousin. Since we've all been half human we have to take a sort of 'test' on our eighteenth birthday that will either kill us or unlock our godly abilities. If we don't take it we die a mortal. I don't know how many siblings took the test or refused to take it but none have survived until myself. I am supposed to be the god of the undead, however we just learned recently that contrary to popular belief he's still alive.
As for what would happen to myself if I was the last? I don't honestly know. I believe I would probably fade away like so many other pantheons that have been lost since the rise of Judaism and then Christianity. Apparently having a god that isn't prone to smiting you is very popular. Or having a god that just says "be a good person" is all you need to do, no sacrifices are necessary and since they don't have a physical presence they won't take first pick of your labors, steal your children and do other things.
I imagine if they didn't show up the world would be much different.
[Yup. It was the rise of Judaism that pretty much devastated his family and everyone else. And the world IS much different if Judaism never caught on. Theo will encounter an alternate reality sometime later where this is true.]
2. The strongest magic users used to be priests and then over time it branched out as science and technology marched on.
If Anna ever shows up I'll direct you to her. She's a doctor.
3. I didn't really notice much of a difference because they got the dampeners on me quickly and I never realized what I could do before I couldn't do it any more.
4. What's your Germany like? There's a great chunk of it missing in our world.
5. Right now? Well there's been a lot going on, at least in the United States about vampire rights and how they feel like they should still be able to vote and things like that even if they are dead. Personally, I don't think it'll go anywhere. Of course then again, I'm not even a US citizen because I'm half god.
Also there's been a resurgence of the older gods regaining some of their abilities and powers. We're not exactly sure why this is, however Adrian theorizes that it might be because people are trying to find other religions to believe in and having a physical god is a lot easier to believe in than a thought in the sky. This is sort of worrisome because my father is perhaps not one of the best people to be allowed to return to full power.
It's something the team I belong to is looking into.
