Okay, so I typed this up as a response to a comment earlier,...and then I figured that I rather not forget where it was made and have it be lost to the that dreaded enemy known as time. So, here is a brief record of the gods within the Redux project. I think these are all the godly gods, at least so far. This doesn't include godly forms (Super Saiyan God), false gods (Llod) or people that are just revered as gods to others (Freeza, but I also don't know what the Dragon Ball franchise will throw at me next. We may encounter more gods if future content delves into the other 11 universes brought to us with Battle of Gods.

Just to note, only Enma and Birus have a proper name so far. I haven't decided on a theme for any of the others. Also, Enma may later get a proper title other than "Great King" if I can find something that I like and fits with the quasi-naming scheme going on here.

Questions or comments after reading? You know where they go.

--------------------------------

The Various Planets: Various Kami
Planets with intelligent life often have a Kami to watch over them. The Kami may have assistants, like the ones of Earth have Mister Popo and Karin.

The Jigoku Realm: Roshin
The god who looks over the Hakke-ro, the furnace that heats Hell and provides the smoke that draws spirits into the afterlife. Uses various mortals who have died as assistants, like Goku's grandfather, Son Gohan.

The Enma Realm: Enma Daiō
The afterlife's check-in station, where all souls go to be judged, is ruled by Enma Daiō. He has assistants in the form of the various oni, and occasionally has dealings with others who deal with the dead, like Uranai Baba.

The Serpent Roads: Jadōshin 
The god who created the roads that lead from the Enma Realm to the planets in the Kaiō Realm. She haunts the roads for unsuspecting travelers, who she lures into her palace as food for her and her various assistants.

The Kaiō Realm: Dai Kaiō, North Kaiō, East Kaiō, South Kaiō, West Kaiō
The Dai Kaiō lives on a small planet that floats above Heaven, allowing him to watch over Heaven, the Kaiō, and the entire mortal universe if need be. Each of the four individual Kaiō have their own personal planet, positioned at the afterlife’s 4 cardinal points to allow them to watch over their respective quadrant of the mortal universe. They can have assistants, like North Kaiō has Bubbles and Gregory, though they don't have to be animals.

The Kaiōshin Realm: Dai KaiōshinNorth Kaiōshin, East Kaiōshin, South Kaiōshin, West Kaiōshin
In a realm that exists outside of the main Universe 7 globe, the four Kaiōshin of the cardinal directions oversee the their respective quadrant of the mortal universe as well as the afterlife, while the Dai Kaiōshin oversees the entire universe, afterlife and the other Kaiōshin. They only interfere in affairs, of both the living world and afterlife,  in the case of important events that will decide the fate of the universe. Also, in the absence of the Sōzōshin, they help to create new life and planets within the universe by providing the catalyst for them to grow. They have attendants like the East Kaiōshin had Kibito.

The Demon Realm: Makaiō and Makaiōshin
Like the Living Realm and afterlife, Makai is divided into several different spatial areas that are united under the rule of the Demon King. These spatial areas are all overseen by one of the governors of evil; a Makaiō and Makaiōshin. They are the impetus for chaos everywhere, though their existence is mostly unknown. They have assistants in the form of various demons, devils, etc.

The Hakaishin Realm: Hakaishin Birus
In a realm that exists outside of the main Universe 7 globe, the Hakaishin slumbers. When he awakens, he begins to destroy various planets and other celestial objects to prevent the over population of the universe and maintain the delicate balance. His current attendant is Whis.

The Living Realm: Sōzōshin
The god who created order out of chaos after the birth of the universe. He alone managed to create the individual realms that help to maintain the balance between life and death, creation and destruction, etc. He currently slumbers on the Shinjin home world of Kaishin after expending so much energy over such a long period of time.

The Ryūshin Realm: Ryūshin
In a realm that exists outside of the main Universe 7 globe, the two Ryūshin watch over and tend to the Ryūjin that reside there between Dragon Ball summonings as well as dispelling the negative energy that builds up when wishes are made. Their assistants will be little dragon like creatures from DBO.

The Jikanshin Realm: Jikanshin
In a realm that exists outside of the main Universe 7 globe, and is unaffected by the flow of time, resides the Jikanshin. The god watches over time itself, recording all of history, even those from the various timelines that have formed over the years, within the Temporal Storage. He has an attendant in the form of a turtle.

What's the Ryujin? And is that Jikanshin the Kaiojiken from DBO O.o?! Or is he something else? What does he do? Is he all-powerful? What's up with 'im? What about the Makaios/hins? And is the Sozoshin ever gonna come back? BTW do you think the Hakaishins have a God of their own? Attendant? BTW what happened to the Uchushin(naming scheme)? So much stuff to ask...

Wait, no!? 2 Ryushins? Where's BS/Ultimate Shenron? And what's up with the SDs? And Goku for that matter once he gets there?! I warned you, sorry, hehe...Sorry...
