Empathetic

Empathetic is a personality type that scholars use to describe the particular behaviour of a God. As the Gods are not linear beings, they are very difficult beings to understand. Their actions and/or in-actions are associated with one of three personality types that scholars have created to help understand better the way a particular God behaves.

An Empathetic God is a god who cares about how an event transpires and wishes to see the event coincide with their feelings. For example, Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun, would feel dismay at rain and/or drought, and would wish for it to end in any way possible.

This personality type is not to be confused with the Interventionist personality type. Scholars differentiate the two, as an Empathetic God would not seek to actively change an event in order to suit their desires, but would merely feel sorrow if an event did not play out the way they wish. Shinjuu for example, would feel great sadness when a large amount of death occurs. Tsukuyomi would feel a great pride when night comes around and the people light fires and tell stories.

This is the most common personality type, being associated with three Gods, Shinjuu, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi.

It is considered the polar opposite of the Apathetic personality type.
