    With the whole avatar and Shamed Dudes reverence thing, is something like this possible?

    The Creator: the Force itself, Anakin?
    The Slayer: Jacen
    The Trickster: Jaina
    The Modeler: ...Wurth?
    The Lovers: Anakin and Tahiri
    The Pardoner: Ganner

    Although the modeler and the pardoner are goddesses, not male like ganner and wurth...

    The Creator: the Force itself

    Try Luke in that role. He's the one who rebuilt the Jedi Order. That is definitely a Creator type of role. Also, as the son of the Son of the Suns, he's probably got the closest connection to the Force of any of the NJO Jedi. He and Jacen have been the ones that the Force has been speaking to directly in the NJO, and it seems to me that it comes a lot more naturally to Luke than it does to Jacen.

    I some how doubt that if Luke had had the same level Jacen has at that age that it would have been as easy then for him to "hear" the Force as well as he does now. But then Luke has seemed more open and less questioning to how he was trained than Jacen, so that may have something to do with why it's easier for him to "hear" the Force.

    Yun-Yuuzhan
    The Creator
    Yun-Yuuzhan created the cosmos, the Yuuzhan Vong, and the lesser gods. Rites and sacrafices to Yun-Yuuzhan are practiced on the holiest of days, and yes, all sacrafices to Yun-Yuuzhan require death.


    Yun-Yammka
    The Slayer
    The god of carnage, and patron of the warlords and prefects, he is worshiped for the destruction of the Yuuzhan Vong's home planet, and galaxy. He is said to resemble what you might get if you mixed an octopus and a jellyfish.


    Yun-Harla
    The Cloaked Goddess
    The trickster goddess is portrayed in art work as a cloaked woman. It is said that her bones are made of yorik coral and all of her body parts are borrowed. Yun-Harla is the patron of secrets, lies, and deception; not to mention the changing ceremonies where warriors recieve new grafts.


    Yun-Ne'Shel
    The Modeler

    Yun-Ne'Shel created a paradise with tools that Yun-Yuuzhan had left, but the Twin Gods brought on pain and suffering. Yun-Ne'Shel is said to be weak and idealistic, and would have purposely denied Yuuzhan Vong of the drive they needed to reach godhood. Yun-Ne'Shel governs all aspects of art and architecture, and she is the goddess of childbirth. She is mainly worshiped by shapers.


    Yun-Shuno
    The Pardoner
    Yun-Shuno offers hope for the hopless, she is the deity of the Shamed Ones. The thousand-eyed goddess is the only being that the shamed ones can pray to for forgivness. She only has the power to intercede with the other gods if the Shamed One in question is truly worthy.


    Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah
    The Lovers
    The Lovers are always depicted and worshiped together. They are in charge of love, intimacy and close personal relationships. They are also the enemiew of Yun-Yammka and Yun-Harla (the twins), but are allied with Yun-Ne'Shel. They are never depicted direcly, and are said to visit and help only who they wish.


    I just wanted to explore some of the parallels between the relationships between some of the jedi and the legends of the Yuuzhan Vong gods...

    Since Jacen and Jaina have leaned towards Yun-Yammka and Yun-Harla...I'm almost going out on a limb here to say that Anakin and Tahiri are the twin lovers? I remember reading somewhere else that the twin lovers were separated for their crimes and forced to live on separate planes...
