Scorpodael-- Feel free to run your idea past me. Given that some of the next parts of the story will potentially be more singular, with the team split up and pursuing their own ends or things for a time, anything that gives me material to work with is good.
Divine Rivalries
Obviously, given that there are multiple Divinities around, with much overlapping in terms of each gods' respective purviews, there are always going to be heads butting. Some of them have a sort of mutual respect for one another (such as with the gods of the various Underworlds or afterlife), others tend to get more combative (most storm gods and war gods).
There also tends to be rivalries within the Divinities. This often passes down to their scions. Scions of Osiris, for instance, tend to not get on well with scions of Set. Scions of Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca often have opposing mindsets. Scions of Athena and Ares take different approaches to warfare. And so on.
Yes, they may be "cousins," of a sort, and "all in this together," but remember: Cain and Abel were brothers too.
