Yeah it's the case they can make a better case to her to allow you a longer life, just ignore komari because yasha are weird.
Ignore hum ? allright, i do not write the rules. I was going to mention something about Hades and Zeus, just because reminded me of that.
Coc 1 was really all about Power gaming ? I dont renember being like that, I find it cool you win some abilities from race, but never gamebreaking i treat it as a bonus, while you could enjoy making the character looks like you want, at least would give a sense of uniqueness that each race have. At Least in Coc 2 you still got racial things like Noticing the Kitsune on the forest if you are a Lupine or Hunter, and Perks like Nuki Nuts. I Love every situation that becomes unique to you because of who you are.
So at the end of the day is more less something like this:
You sell you soul for bons and powers, also becoming deep conected to that god you choose, and his personal race, you have three options/Choices.
Kitsune: Little puff of Fire, Fluffy Tails and the incrible pleasure of being petted, So much so it makes you a petslut.
Maybe Little Political power and Longer Lifespan.
Gothmander: Eating magic, from spells or beings of magic themselfs... Poor Wisps... and mages...
While having a cool fire tail, like charmander.
Valkyrie: Angel Wings, Amazon femininity and... a Pegasus maybe ? Lastest Valkyrie i renember are from God of War and Thor Movie.
