In the original description, there were six deities responsible for creation of the universe. They also had servants, one of which was called Death (which I labeled independently as a demigod, since that was what demigods were).

What do you want the six deities to represent? Are they immortal (as is the case with most real religions) or mortal (Norse mythology being the most well known example)? Do they play a major role in the universe or are they passive spectators? Do they have genders?

How about their relationships with each other: are there rivals or enemies among them? Do they interact with specific mortal individuals in a unique way?
