Gods in the realms, changed on your games.

Another thread is talking about suitors for Eilistraee. Some of the suggestions seemed a little out there to me, but then I got to thinking about how the gods change for different stories, different editions, different authors, and finally different gaming groups. For example, and not wanting to tread on anyone else's thoughts or ideas, I see her as a Batman like character, who at her core is so mission focused, that she doesn't have time for a relationship.
But that's not correct outside of my game/gaming group. In these stories we spin together on our pcs,table tops or what have you, we develop these images and ideas for how these characters behave. But that changes with the group, the author and the format.
At my table, Jergal spent his days prior to the arrival of Bane Bhaal and Myrkil, hating his job out of boredom and coming up with demands for the newly dead to do something, anything, entertaining in exchange for returning then to life or not sending the wicked to their earned terrible ends. When the dead three showed up Jergal saw an opportunity. They do all the work, they take all the blame, and he sets up a hot tub, hot wing dispenser and a wide screen TV in the infinite broom closet on the third floor.
On that note, tell us about your gods and views on the same, even if they aren't cannon.
