When some form of spiritual being, or deity, becomes [[Reincarnation|encased in a mortal shell]], usually causing them to have [[De
Of course, any example of this trope would be justified in saying "[[A God Am I]]", without the usual implications of megalomania. That said, many go the other route and say "[[A God I Am Not]]" due to their new proximity to mortality and humanity.
Line 61:
* This was done in ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]''. And {{spoiler|Kite/Animus}} ended up taking away the team's powers because of the current state of the environment.
* Steven Baxter in ''[[The Second Coming (TV)|The Second Coming]]'' is a very ordinary, not particularly bright bloke who suddenly finds out he's the son of God. He only discovers what he's supposed to do little by little. {{spoiler|Killing him, in his human form, means that God dies. His dual nature makes it all [[Tear Jerker|incredibly sad]]: though the death of God is supposed to be a good thing and he eventually accepts this, Steven is also very much human and doesn't want to die at all.}}
* In the new ''[[
* Leo in ''[[Charmed (TV)|Charmed]]'', after [[Ascending to A Higher Plane of Existence]] ''twice''. The second time was the reason for his depowering and [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|mind wipe]], as he had betrayed the set of gods he became part of for another more powerful set of gods.

** In the ''Dungeons and Dragons'' Avatar Series (books and adventures), the deities of the [[Forgotten Realms]] are forced to descend to Faerun in their considerably weaker avatar forms as punishment for the misdeeds of two of them.
** In the ''Dungeons and Dragons'' Dragonlance setting, the god Paladine appears in the mortal world as the wizard Fizban.
Line 127:
* The [[Lunar]] series has Althena routinely taking the form of a human girl (usually a singer), who is the incarnation of the deity. They don't usually know this fact, nor do the other characters. Lampshaded in ''[[Lunar Silver Star Harmony]]'', when Alex tries to make a sculpture of Luna, and the person looking at it notices the similarity to the Goddess Althena.
* If you play your choices right in [[Dragon Age]]: Origins, {{spoiler|You can conceive one of these with Morrigan, a child with the soul of an old god.}} This will presumably have great consequences in the sequels.
* In ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka De|Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3]]'', both halves of the Dragon-God get depowered and assume human forms as a result. Kokuryuu/the Dark Dragon had his weakened human body destroyed and his powers snatched by an enemy, although it didn't cause power loss to his [[Miko]]. Hakuryuu/the White Dragon is initially found in the form of a pre-teen kid (also qualifying for the [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] trope as the Dragons have been around for at least 300-400 years by that point); he partially retains the ability to cross time-space, and later regains some of his power and assumes [[Bishonen|a more]] [[Long
** ''Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 5'' features human forms of [[The Four Gods]]. [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|Needless to say]], they're extremely pretty (especially Suzaku and Genbu).
* In ''[[Jade Empire]]'', {{spoiler|[[Mad Scientist|Kang the Mad]]}} is really {{spoiler|Lord Lao, the god of machinery}} with [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]].
