Small Gods
Players start off as a kami, or a "small god" from the Terry Pratchett novel by the same name. We will be using the rules from New Gods of Mankind, but a custom setting.Followers generate Belief. Belief powers miracles, which is the only way you can affect the world. You are vaguely aware that if you can collect enough Belief, you can enter The Celestial Realm, where it is much safer for kami like you.
You can be a ghost/ancestor of a lost society; a spirit of an animal or a small geographic region (but not an entire species of animal, at least not to start with); the kami of a roadside shrine; a soul that has escaped from the reincarnation cycle; or a similar idea.
Depending on your choice of origin, you may have once had more memories, but now you are too small to remember things, and have spent so long fighting for survival among the other spirits, that you have forgotten almost everything, except for the sweet, sweet taste of Belief.
