God is the deity of the Abrahamic religions, that is Judaism, Islam and Christianity, responsible for creation of the universe. An unknown period of time in the past, he abandoned [[Heaven]], intervening in the affairs of humanity occasionally. His full potential remains unknown, but he is extremely powerful, and is thought to be omnipotent and omniscient. With his sibling [[Amara]] being the only being older and stronger than he is, alongside [[Death]], who at one time was seen as his equal.
==History==
In the beginning there was only God and his sister, [[the Darkness]], and then God. Out of loneliness, God began to create, naively believing he could show worlds and beings to satisfy himself and his sister a new way. 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 battle her until they finally managed to lock her away. Trusting the lock and key, the -- 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 to humanitydown, while as the others other angels did. The Mark eventually began asserting its own will, becoming the first [[curse]], causing corrupting Lucifer to become corrupted, and enhancing his jealously of man snf , causing his fall from grace. Lucifer then sought out his older brother, [[Michael]], for support, but Michael refused to listen. On God's command Lucifer was cast out of [[Heaven]] by Michaeland imprisoned in [[The Cage]], but not before Lucifer created the first [[demons]], even passing the mark to [[Cain]].
Only the archangels have ever seen God, until God revealed himself to [[Metatron]] in [[season 11]]to take down the Word. The angel [[Joshua]] is was the only known angel to have had conversations with Him prior to God revealing himself as [[Chuck Shurley]] to Metatron and the Winchesters. Even after revealing himself, he still prefers to be called "Chuck" as being called "God" and treated with praise makes him "deeply uncomfortable." 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 by now,<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 existsexisted. Chuck says that he only interferes directly when things get apocalyptic on Earth. He offers his aid to the Winchesters as the prophet "Chuck Shurley" to prevent the [[Apocalypse]] from coming to pass. He hides in [[God's Bar|BG's Canteen]] when Amara is released, but Metatron convinced him to help the Winchesters stop his sister from destroying the universe. However, Amara manages to mortally wound Chuck, causing a disruption in the Cosmic Balance.<ref name="eleven22">[[11.22 We Happy Few]]</ref> Dean manages to convince Amara to put her rage aside and tell her brother what she really wants. After reconciling, Chuck and Amara leave to have a family meeting, but not before Chuck defuses the [[soul bomb]] from Dean's chest and Amara revives [[Mary Winchester]] as a gesture of thanks to Dean for giving her what she needed most.<ref name="eleven23">[[11.23 Alpha and Omega]]</ref> While there are alternate versions of [[Death]], archangels, angels, demons and most humans in alternate universes such as [[Apocalypse World]], [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] of Apocalypse World believed there was only one God and put forth a theory that when God realizes a world is flawed, he moves onto another universe and starts again.<ref name="fourteen10">[[14.10 Nihilism]]</ref> His theory is proven to be true when Sam discovered that he has been manipulating everything in the Winchesters' lives as part of a sick story. Chuck even told Sam that of all the alternative versions of the Winchesters throughout the multiverse, Sam and Dean are his favorites because they are so interesting. He tried to trick them into killing [[Jack]] because he is scared of his grandson and it was how "the story" is supposed to end.When the Winchesters refuse to kill Jack and no longer want any part of his story, Chuck ultimately decides to kill Jack himself and release all the souls from Hell to kill them and end the world. <ref name="fourteen20">[[14.20 Moriah]]</ref>
==Characteristics==
As one of the two earliest known beings in creation, along with his sister [[the Darkness]] / Amara, 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 capable 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 spell made by the [[shaman]] [[Sergei]], who while he was hiding in Monte Carlo and being held prisoner by [[Asmodeus]].
===Powers and abilities===
* Apporting - With a simple snap of his fingers, God is capable of teleporting anyone or thing anything to a destination of his choosing, as evidenced when he saved Sam and Dean from Lucifer's release, teleporting them on a plane.* Cleansing - God was able to cleanse Sam of his [[demon blood]] addiction, as well as the town of Hope Springs, Idaho of a [[rabid]] infection.* Creation - When the Darkness was locked away, God was able to create the universe as well as the various realms such as [[Heaven]], [[Hell]], [[Purgatory]], and many other [[alternate universes]]. * [[Healing]] - God possesses the ability to heal any type of injury.* Negation - God was able to render Lucifer powerless in the presence of Sam and Dean as a safeguard to prevent him from hurting themthe Winchesters.* Power transference - Certain objects that God has come into contact with can become imbued with his power. These items are known as the a [[Hands Hand of God]], and are highly destructive, and so powerful that if a human were to come into contact with one they would be destroyed using annihilated by it's power.* [[Prayer]] - God, like the angels, is capable of hearing all the prayers in the world. Though he rarely, if ever, answers them. * Protective Aura – God cast an aura of protection on Sam and Dean to prevent them from being harmed while they recruit their allies and adversaries to battle Amara. This aura can be detected by [[witches]].* [[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]] like [[Jack]].* [[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.* [[Telekinesis]]– When angered God showed the ability to throw Metatron clear across a room with no physical gestures.* [[Teleportation]] - God is capable of teleporting himself anywhere in existence.
===Weaknesses===
While God is one of the most powerful beings in existence, he is not invulnerable as the original Death stated to Dean Winchester that one day God will die, and he will reap him too.
* [[The Darkness]] - Being God's equal, [[Amara]] is the only known being capable of mortally wounding God. However, with his death comes an imbalance in [[the Cosmic Balance]], tipping the scales to the Darkness, and vice versa, can have catastrophic ramifications and render the universe into nothingness.* [[The Equalizer]] – It is unknown if the gun is truly capable of killing God, as he showed no adverse effects other than annoyance after getting shot by Sam. However, the gun being used on Chuck did create a bullet hole in his shoulder.* [[Warding Sigils|Warding]] - With powerful enough wardingand [[spells]], a being can hide their presence from God.
==Episodes==
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 rverythinheverything, 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.
God and everyone else wait in a bar called "The Lazy Shag" for Dean to finish off the Darkness. Dean tells her about how God doesn't want her dead and that despite everything, she needs her brother, just like he needs Sam. Dean tells her to put aside her hatred for Him and ask herself what she really wants. She summoned God when Sam went to get him water and tells him about how she hated Him for wanting something else that wasn't her. She finally realizes that what God made is beautiful and tells him that she wants them to be a family again. Chuck says that He wants the same thing and the hold hands, and their combined power restored the sun. Amara heals Chuck of all his wounds and they decided to have a family meeting. God takes the bomb out of Dean and tells him that Earth will be fine as long as it has him and Sam. Amara thanks Dean for giving her what she needed most and telling her that she wants to do the same for him. Both God and Amara ascend to the heavens, and disappear in columns of intertwined light and darkness.
 
===[[14.10 Nihilism]]===
While imprisoned in the [[Men of Letters Bunker]], [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] from [[Apocalypse World]] speaks with [[Castiel]], and reveals that in his universe with his Lucifer, they had hoped that after their fight God would return and give them answers for why He left. But upon Lucifer's defeat, nothing happened. When Michael took over [[Dean Winchester]] and learned of [[Chuck Shurley]], he came to the theory that as God saw himself as a writer, his world and Castiel's world are just drafts and when He sees that they are flawed, He moves on to another one. Michael tells Castiel he plans on destroying as many worlds in different universes as he can until he finally catches up with Him.
 
===[[14.17 Game Night]]===
Castiel seeks the help of [[Sister Jo]] in trying to contact God, due her working as [[Joshua]]'s right hand in Heaven before being demoted. Jo tells Castiel that Joshua never talked to God, it was God that talked to Joshua, but reveals that after [[the Fall]] there was a rumor Joshua put out a call to God, and He answered.
 
The two travel to Orlando's Emporium, where [[Methuselah]] allows them to look for the object Joshua used to make contact. After searching all night, and nearly giving up, Castiel spots [[Joshua's Amulet|an amulet]] similar to [[Dean's Amulet|Dean]]'s, which Methuselah tells him Joshua forges after the Fall. Grasping it in his hand, Castiel [[Prayer|prays]] to God for help, but receive no response. Something Methuselah tells them happened to Joshua too.
 
===[[14.20 Moriah]]===
After being denied entrance to [[Hell]] to study [[the Cage]] by a [[demon]], [[Castiel]] is surprised by [[Chuck]]'s sudden appearance, who tells Cas he is responding to his [[prayer]]. Chuck soon takes Castiel to [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] at Mirror Universe, where the office has descended into chaos due to no one being able to lie anymore. In a conference room, Chuck tries to explain where he's been through song, but has His guitar smashed by Dean, and when Dean angrily demands to know where Chuck has been, he snaps at Dean before quickly calming down and teleporting everyone to [[the Bunker]].
 
He explains that he has been traveling all over the universe with Amara, who is currently in Reno, Nevada. Chuck undoes what Jack did, making it as if the chaos never happened. When asked if He can stop Jack, Chuck says He can't, but they can and creates [[The Equalizer|a handgun]] that is capable of killing Jack, but with the catch that whomever fires it will also die.
 
Later, while playing with [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael's]] [[archangel blade]], Sam asks if he merely creates other worlds and abandons them. Chuck denies it, saying that Sam and Dean are his favorites because they're so interesting. Chuck tells Sam that they need to focus on Jack, which makes him realize that Chuck is afraid of his grandson. He reveals that he knows where Jack is and that Dean already left.
 
At the cemetery, Sam tries to convince Chuck to stop Dean, but he realizes that Chuck is enjoying it. Ultimately, Dean can't bring himself to fire the gun at Jack and tosses it aside. Chuck, who wants Jack dead, eggs Dean to pick up the gun to no avail. Sam realizes that what Michael said was true, Chuck has been manipulating the Winchesters' lives as part of a sick story. Chuck denies it again and tells Dean to pick up the gun and use it to kill Jack in exchange for bringing Mary back, but Dean refuses saying that Mary would not want to be brought back at the cost of Jack's life or Dean's. No longer wanting any part of his story, Dean tells Chuck to go to Hell. Chuck decides to kill Jack himself via smiting, but Sam takes the gun and shoots Chuck in the shoulder, injuring himself, but causing no real harm to Chuck. Angry, he decides to acquiesce to the Winchesters' demands and end the world by releasing the souls from Hell, unleashing countless spirits upon the world and a horde of [[zombies]] to kill the Winchesters.
