God
,In 8.21, Metatron said the archangels took over Heaven after Chuck's departure, namely Michael and Raphael. In 11.21, Chuck said he chose to step away from humanity to let them find themselves and to watch from the sidelines.
The Darkness initially wanted her brother to do whatever she wanted, but God began to create worlds to satisfy Himself and to show His sister there can be more to existence than just the two of them, but for every world He would create, the Darkness would destroy it because she hated how He wanted something different from his only sibling out of ego. Knowing that destroying the Darkness would cause a fatal disruption in [[the Cosmic Balance]], God would eventually go on to create the [[archangels]], and battle her until they finally managed to trick the Darkness and just barely lock her away. He then entrusted the lock and key — a special [[Mark of Cain|Mark]] — to His most favored son, [[Lucifer]].
With His sister locked away, God, as [[Metatron]] put it, "got down to unfettered creation", making the Prime universe the starting point of his own epic story. Soon after, He created all sorts of creatures on Earth, both natural and monstrous. He would go on to create the first beasts, the [[Leviathans]]. However, God became concerned over their endless hunger, and locked them away in [[Purgatory]]. During this time, as [[Crowley]] put it, [[hellhounds]] were made to be "the 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. Unknown to Him, Lucifer would rescue a pregnant hound named [[Ramsey]], allowing the species to thrive. Soon after, He forged the [[angels]] and their classes, creating [[the Host of Heaven]]. [[Anna Milton]] would reveal to Dean Winchester that only the four angels archangels have ever seen God, while the rest of the angels only took His existence based on faith, while those who lacked it were killed.
God would then go on to create the [[soul]], and would go on to gift it to humanity, dubbing them His most beautiful and loved creations, in the form of [[Adam and Eve|Adam]] and [[Eve]], who were sent to live in the [[Garden of Eden]], making them part of his first story. As humans multiplied, God 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]], slowly corrupting Lucifer and enhancing his jealousy of mankind, eventually causing his fall from grace. When [[Gadreel]], the angel assigned to guard Eden, allowed Lucifer into the Garden and corrupt humanity out of jealousy, they were cast out, and the sentry angel was locked in Heaven's darkest dungeon for millennia. The Garden itself was compressed into a pocket dimension and hidden away in the form of an artifact which became known as [[the Occultum]]. On God's command, Lucifer was cast out of [[Heaven]] by [[Michael]] and imprisoned in [[the Cage]], but not before Lucifer created the first [[demons]] and passed the Mark to [[Cain]], who killed his brother Abel to satisfy a deal made with the fallen archangel. By this point, it was too late to contain Lucifer's corruption of humanity, giving rise to countless acts of evil committed by humans throughout history. He eventually realized that everything only stayed the same as long as he kept hovering over His creatures, so he decided to step away to let them find themselves on their own, essentially sidelining Himself just to watch.
According to the goddess [[Fortuna]], when humans first gained sentience, they worshiped nature around them rather than recognize God's "beneficence". As an act of spite against His creations, He created the [[Deities|pagan gods]] as scapegoats to take the blame whenever things went wrong for the humans, but when humanity began making epic stories about them, His ego could only take so much before making His presence known. God would take to hiding behind whatever religion was the most popular at the time, leaving these gods to wander the Earth and stoop to taking whatever scraps they could find until they became forgotten or killed by humans. Over time, most of these gods have forgotten their true origins, many of them believing themselves to be superior compared to other gods in opposing belief systems.<ref name="five19">[[5.19 Hammer of the Gods]]</ref><ref name="fifteen11">[[15.11 The Gamblers]]</ref> Amara also stated that God encouraged religions as monuments to His ego, promising any and all worshippers "the fearful safety" if they adored Him, out of fear of being cast aside along with any other non-believers. Michael even had all the angels and former prophets burnish His image on the Earth as the all-knowing, all-seeing, all "caring" God, essentially making the archangel responsible for creating the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam).
Free to create, God would also go on to make alternate universes, but to ensure His original universe would thrive in His absence, God was forced to write Himself into the fabric of that reality, indirectly making it possible for Him to die one day like everything else. Capable of creating an infinite number of new universes, God eventually created the multiverse, but when He became dissatisfied with a world, He developed the habit of moving onto another universe to start again, essentially catching the writer's bug; the desire to write and create more than anything else.<ref name="fourteen10">[[14.10 Nihilism]]</ref><ref name="fifteen12">[[15.12 Galaxy Brain]]</ref>
As it became possible for Him to die one day, God became worried about humanity if even He couldn't protect them, so He revealed Himself to [[Metatron]] and chose him to be the Scribe of God to and dictate His Word, essentially leaving instructions on how to defend humanity from angels, demons, and Leviathans leviathans if ever they tried taking over the planet. Metatron managed to transcribe three [[tablets]], each one hidden on Earth. Metatron finished their work before God departed from Heaven out of sheer disappointment of His creations, leaving both Heaven and Earthin the care of Michael and [[Raphael]] for millennia, since [[Gabriel]] skipped out of Heaven out of spite of his family's squabbles. When Michael assumed command of the angels, he and Raphael started scheming, planning to take control of the universe in hopes that to spite God's departure whilst hoping their father would return, causing Metatron to flee to protect God's secrets and prevent them from succeeding sooner, escaping before [[Naomi]] could [[Mind Hacking|infiltrate his mind]] under the archangels' orders.
After running Heaven and Earth for millennia, Michael began enacting the plan to use the Winchesters to start the Apocalypse under the guise of bringing paradise to Earth to manipulate the angels and humans on their side, even working with [[Lilith]] to free Lucifer from the Cage with the hopes that their plan would draw God's attention and bring Him back. However by 2009, both [[Uriel]] and Raphael among many other angels lost faith in their maker, stating that God must be dead considering what happened throughout the 20th Century,<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 like [[Castiel]] and countless others. During His sabbatical, the angel [[Joshua]], the Gardener of Heaven's Garden, was the only known angel to have had conversations with Him out of loneliness. God offers His aid to the Winchesters as the prophet "[[Chuck Shurley]]" to prevent the [[Apocalypse]] from coming to pass, as well as to have a front row seat to the Apocalypse. As Chuck, He writes the [[Winchester Gospels]] under the guise of the ''Supernatural'' Books to record their story as well as leading the Winchesters to trap Michael and Lucifer in the Cage alongside Sam and [[Adam Milligan|Adam]].
When the Darkness was freed by [[Rowena]] and Sam with the ''[[Book of the Damned]]'', she threatened to destroy all of creation to get her brother's attention and confront Him for everything He did to her. Realizing He could not defeat her on His own, He initially planned to let her destroy the Winchesters' world, until Metatron convinced Him to help the Winchesters stop His sister. While He initially planned to sacrifice Himself to be locked away like she was in exchange for preserving all of creation, Sam and Dean managed to unite the angels, demons, witches, and Lucifer, the only available archangel, to battle her under His lead. However, Amara managed to mortally wound Chuck, causing a disruption in the Cosmic Balance<ref name="eleven22">[[11.22 We Happy Few]]</ref> until Dean managed to convince the two siblings to reconcile, leading Amara to heal Chuck so the two can depart from the Earth and rebuild their strained relationship.<ref name="eleven23">[[11.23 Alpha and Omega]]</ref> Chuck and Amara's reconciliation was short-lived, however, as the two soon agreed to take some time apart in the Winchesters' universe due to Amara having grown tired of her brother's failure to change for the better.
God reappears after Castiel prays to Him using [[Joshua's Amulet]] to help the Winchesters rein in [[Jack Kline]] after His grandson burned off his soul to use [[Enochian]] magic and destroy the [[Apocalypse World]] version of [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] to save his family along with the rest of the multiverse, leaving him unable to control his destructive powers. He wanted His grandson dead because He was scared of what Jack would grow to become, powerful enough to take control of the story away from Him. When He fails to get Dean to kill Jack, Chuck reveals His true colors to Castiel and the Winchesters by smiting His grandson with a snap of His fingers. But in In an act of defiance for what he has doneHis troubles, He God gets shot in the left shoulder by Sam with [[the Equalizer]], diminishing His strength while connecting Him to Sam and temporarily trapping Him in the Prime universe as a result. In retaliation, God unleashes all of the souls of [[Hell]] upon the world, proclaiming "Welcome to The End."<ref name="fourteen20" /><ref name="fifteen02">[[15.02 Raising Hell]]</ref>
Despite [[Rowena]], Castiel, and the Winchesters managing to seal Hell again at the cost of the former's life, God was undeterred and began plotting their demise, intending to make one brother kill the other.<ref name="fifteen04">[[15.04 Atomic Monsters]]</ref> God resurrected Lilith as an emissary, having her destroy the Equalizer for Himand retrieving Michael, who was released from the Cage within Adam's vessel, until the archangel killed her again. Since He was unable to monitor the Winchesters in His weakened state, God manipulated Sam to resurrect [[Eileen Leahy]] so He could keep an eye on the Winchesters through her eyes.<ref name="fifteen06">[[15.06 Golden Time]]</ref><ref name="fifteen09" /> When they seek the help of Michael, who was disturbed by their revelations and the alternate version of himself, God lured Sam into a trap where He revealed the dystopian future where Sam and Dean succeeded in trapping Him. Believing God, Sam loses hope in the plan and foils the attempt to trap Him, enabling God to heal their wounds and leave the Earth to prepare for the end.<ref name="fifteen09" />
After Chuck's defeat, Jack restores all life on Earth raptured by Chuck and decides to take a "hands off" approach, encompassing himself around everything in existence rather than making the same mistakes his grandfather did, and making changes to Heaven with Castiel's help before the New God finally departs from the Earth.
As the most powerful being in all of creation, second to 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 sister, the Darkness, is the only being in existence that equals Him in raw power and capable of mortally wounding Him. If God were to die, then there would be a disruption in [[the Cosmic Balance]] which would lead to the end of all existence. It's also known that with strong enough [[Warding Sigils|warding]], it's 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 spell made by the [[shaman]] [[Sergei]], while he was hiding in Monte Carlo and being held prisoner by [[Asmodeus]]. If God is significantly weakened, the same binding spell God and the archangels cast upon the Darkness to lock her away could also be used to imprison Chuck. According to [[Ketch]], even everything the [[British Men of Letters]] had on God was purely theoretical, with nothing definite regarding a weapon or spell that can potentially injure or kill Him.
In various versions of the Prime universe, He would take a specific interest in [[Sam]] and [[Dean Winchester]], claiming that out of every variant of Sam and Dean that exists in every dimension of the [[Alternate Universe|multiverse]], the Winchesters in the Prime universe were His "favorite show." Even after revealing Himself, God still preferred to be called "Chuck" as being called "God" and treated with praise makes Him "deeply uncomfortable." Chuck tells the Winchesters that He only interferes directly when things get apocalyptic on Earth, to the point where the main threat rivals His power. Despite this, God maintained his divine interference in secret to maintain control over His story and watching His creations from the sidelines to keep Himself entertained by their actions.
Metatron had described his memoirs as "angry with a side of bitter," and while writing His memoirs, Chuck would show His more wrathful side to Metatron. Both Amara and Lucifer describe Him as narcissistic, only caring about things going His way, regardless of anyone else's opinions. Despite this, Lucifer calls God "a master strategist", considering He's capable of messing with time and planting visions to gain the desired outcome for his story by manipulating his characters to make things go the way He wants them to, regardless of mercy or personal cost, in order to quench his ego. He grows visibly agitated whenever things don't go his way, often stooping to rage quit before He moves on to another universe and starting from scratch.
