Proto-god
The term proto-god is used to refer to creatures pursuing or who have achieved the power of a divine entity, but have not yet ascended to full divinity. A proto-god might be a godling or otherwise extremely powerful creature attempting to achieve godhood. Many modern deities were once proto-gods, such as the mortal Nethys at the time when Azghaad killed Ulunat.1
