What are some interesting obsessions for gods to have?

Spoiler: ((Context.)) (click to show/hide)

Currently working on a setting called Zahir. Basic idea is that the modern day world is the age of Mythology. So basically the heroes of legend are just last week's news rather than figures of ancient tales. The universe wasn't created with blade and spindle. It was forged with bullet and 3D printer. The other bit, is that all magic leads back to the gods, and by extension, obsession. See, the gods don't have the best sense of their own identity, so they each have an obsession of sorts that gives them form (completely unrelated to their domains). Their paladins call upon their power in manners related to their obsession, while demigods are empowered by obsessions of their own in the form of their geis.

So as examples, Cataclysm is a habitual smoker, so Catastrophe Paladins channel their magic through ignition sources as he never gets a bloody lighter. Eternity is an indiscriminate yandere, so Death Paladins take photos, or steal sentimental objects from their targets to invoke her power. Transience likes lucha libre, so Life Paladins are basically cyborg luchadores. Cycle is a perfectionist, so Solar Paladins make offerings of spreadsheets on the micro-optimization of the missionary position via exploitation of tidal forces to cast their spells.

There's also Entanglement and Ontology whose obsessions which I might replace. Right now Entanglement is enamored with action films, so his Love Paladins do stunts like diving with dual pistols or loading shotguns one-handed. Meanwhile Ontology has an affinity for shivs, so Dream Paladins must craft shivs in order to channel her power.

Guess who's listening to unfitting music right now?
Yep. It's me.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ominous organ music.  Far more appropriate.

[Twi]

But unfitting music is the best. Just ask Persona and its rap battle themes.

[TheBiggerFish]

But... But... But... Organ music!

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Y'all need some JesusGwyn in your life.

On one hand, if Trespasser wins, everyone dies.
On other hand, if Vertex wins, everyone dies anyway.
