God
,no edit summary
In the beginning there was [[the Darkness]], and then God. God began to create worlds and beings but for every world he would create, the Darkness would destroy it. Knowing that destroying the Darkness would cause a fatal disruption in [[the Cosmic Balance]], God would eventually go on to create the [[archangels]], and along with them would battled her until they finally managed to lock her away. Trusting the lock and key -- a special [[Mark of Cain|Mark]] -- to his most trusted son, [[Lucifer]].
With his sister locked away, God, as [[Metatron]] put it, "got down to unfettered creation." He would go on to create the first beasts, the [[Leviathans]]. However, God became concerned at their destructiveness, and locked them away in [[Purgatory]]. Soon after He created the [[angels]] and their classes, crating [[the Host of Heaven]]. [[Hellhounds]] were created at some point to be "Creator's best friend," as [[Crowley]] put it, however their viciousness proved to be too much for God, which led to him having them all destroyed, except for one, [[Ramsey]], who was rescued by Lucifer. Soon, God would create the [[soul]], and would go on to gift it to humanity, dubbing them his most beautiful and loved creations. He then ordered all of His angels to bow before humanity and love them more than Him, but Lucifer refused to bow down, as the other angels did. The Mark eventually began asserting its own will, becoming the first [[curse]], causing Lucifer to become corrupted and enhancing his jealously of man, causing his fall from grace. On God's command Lucifer was cast out of [[Heaven]] by Michael.
Only the archangels have ever seen God, until God revealed himself to [[Metatron]] to take down the Word. The angel [[Joshua]] was the only known angel to have had conversations with Him prior to God revealing himself as [[Chuck Shurley]] to Metatron and the Winchesters. At some point out of sheer disappointment in his creations, God left Heaven, after witnessing what nature could create on it's own, he began taking a hands-off approach. Michael assumed command of the angels, and then ran Heaven and Earth for millennia. Both [[Uriel]] and [[Raphael]] lost faith in their maker, stating that God must be dead,<ref name="four16">[[4.16 On the Head of a Pin]]</ref><ref name="five03">[[5.03 Free to Be You and Me]]</ref> although most angels believed that He still existed.
==Characteristics==
As one of the two earliest known beings in creation, along with his sister [[the Darkness]], God is an nigh-omniscient and nigh-omnipotent being capable of feats such as [[healing]], [[resurrection]], [[teleportation]]... damn near anything. His only known weaknesses are his sister the Darkness, who is the only being in existence with the capability to mortally wound God. If God were to die, then their there would be a shift in [[the Cosmic Balance]] which would lead to the end of all existence. It is also known that with strong enough [[Warding Sigils|warding]], it is possible to hide oneself from even God, as evidenced by His and Amara's use of wards to stay hidden from each other; as well as Chuck being unable to sense a nearly human [[Gabriel]] who was using a potent cloaking spellmade by the [[shaman]] [[Sergei]], while he was hiding in Monte Carlo and being held prisoner by [[Asmodeus]].
===Powers and abilities===
* [[Prayer]] – God, like the angels, is capable of hearing all the prayers in the world. Though he rarely, if ever answers them.
* [[Resurrection]] – God can bring anyone or anything back to life. Having "rebuilt" Castiel "more times than [He] can remember." However, [[archangel]]s, being "the stuff of primordial creation" take more time and effort.
* [[Souls]] – While God created the soul, Chuck says he is unable to restore [[Jack]]'s soul as souls are "complicated", even for Him. However, the veracity of His claim could neither be confirmed nor denied.
* [[Smiting]] – With the snap of his fingers, God can smite anything, including a [[Nephilim]].
* [[Warding Sigils|Warding]] – While acting as the [[prophet]] [[Chuck Shurley]], God was able to conceal himself from the angels, preventing [[Dean's Amulet]] from glowing white hot in his presence. This warding ability extended to God being able to conceal his location from even his sister, Amara.
After being transported to [[God's Bar|BG's Canteen]], Metatron quickly realizes that is a construct created by God. When he finds [[Chuck Shurley]] sitting at a booth. Believing he is being punished by God, by having to spend eternity in a "crappy bar with a hack writer," and proceeds to go in on Chuck's writing. Chuck eventually reveals to Metatron that he is in fact God. As Metatron begins groveling on his knees, Chuck tells him to stop as the kneeling and being called "God" make him uncomfortable, telling Metatron to call Him Chuck. After Chuck pours a glass of whiskey for Metatron, Metatron asks Chuck what he has been up to. Chuck reveals that he started a blog about cats, signed up for Snapchat, started a new series of books titled ''Revolution'' (though he doesn't think they will go anywhere) as well as having traveled and dated a few people. He also explains how he was able to deactivate [[Dean's amulet]] so they wouldn't suspect him of being God during the [[Apocalypse]] and reactivates it before putting it away. Chuck reveals that he wanted to finish his autobiography and needs Metatron's help to do it, which he accepts. After reading it, Metatron points out that it's missing a few things such as details and balance. He tells him to write for an audience of one and reveal who he really is.
Chuck explains that nature was the closest thing that was as good as or better than himself or his sister, since it knows that it's sometimes better to start from scratch. Metatron discovers that Chuck was going to let [[Amara]] destroy the universe, and tells him off about how he was never a coward when he tried to play God. Chuck reveals that he is done watching humanity's failures and wants to let Amara win. After As Chuck begins to finish the last few pages of his autobiography, Metatron tells him that he is wrong about humanity because he knows that they are better than he is and understands what they are capable of in both positive and negative ways. Chuck, touched and clearly guilty himself for losing faith in humanity, decides to help [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] deal with [[the Darkness]]after finishing his book. He reverses the effects of the [[Rabid|rabid infection]] in Hope Springs, Idaho. He even sends Dean's amulet into Sam's jacket pocket to allow them to find him.
===[[11.21 All in the Family]]===
Chuck teleported Sam and Dean back into the [[Men of Letters Bunker]] along with himself to prove to them that he actually is God and even confirms it with the help of [[Kevin Tran]]. After sending Kevin's soul to [[Heaven]], Sam talks about how he was praying to him, but was unaware if he was actually listening. Dean tells him about how humanity had been suffering for thousands of years while God did nothing. Chuck tells him that he has been helping them for ages and decided that in order to allow humanity to thrive, that he needed to take a step back and let them find their way. He also believes that despite everything, things have gotten betterfrom his point of view.
God tells them that the only reason he came to help them was because the Darkness was a force beyond human comprehension, and he tells them about how awful it was to always do what Amara wanted. When Sam tells him that they might need [[Lucifer]]'s help, God tells them that he doesn't trust him since he could have formed an alliance with Amara. He is later seen watching a curling tournament on Dean's computer while eating Chinese food when Sam and Dean come back from Lewis, Oklahoma with the latest [[prophet]], Professor [[Donatello Redfield]]. After meeting up with Metatron, he tells them that Chuck is going to give himself up to Amara and even shows them his autobiography which is in the form of a suicide note. Chuck is seen watching kids playing in a sandbox when Dean comes over to confront him about surrendering to Amara. Chuck tells him that he will become imprisoned and let Amara do what she wants with him in exchange for allowing the universe to continue to thrive. Chuck also tells Dean that if she tries to destroy everything, then his chosen, like Sam and Dean, will step up and reveals that he saved Sam and Dean in [[5.01 Sympathy for the Devil]] because they are the firewall between light and darkness.
After Sam, Donatello, and Metatron rescue Lucifer, God was able to teleport them back to the Bunker in the [[Impala]]. Lucifer sees God for the first time in millennia and remarks that he changed, God says the same thing and instantly heals the wounds he had to endure from Amara's torture.
