[QUOTE="Chess435, post: 8587496, member: 6675133"] It all depends on what the gods believe to be true then. The gods constantly plot and plan against one another to some degree, and how much of a target your character is depends primarily on how active he is in the world. If he's going out and adventuring, and making waves in the world, he's going to have potential foes probing for his strengths/weaknesses, and the more attention he has, the sooner the truth about his true nature will be figured out. To them, a sidereal represents an existential threat simply by existing, the mere fact that he could destroy/depose gods, or even ascend further to a Demiurge and reshape the very cosmos to his whim striking fear into those that would call themselves "omnipotent". In my opinion, if he keeps doing this it's simply a matter of time before his sidereal status is figured out, and depending on the disposition of who does, could result in anything from some terrified new worshippers to outright warfare if the secret gets out to the rest of the pantheon. You certainly may be able to come to a diplomatic arrangement with the other deities, especially considering that they likely don't want to take a direct fight with someone of his power level. But he should most certainly expect the gods and their servants to plot and plan to depose you or simply try and steal his power for their own. In conclusion, I don't think sidereals are automatically imprisoned, but their level of power combined with the scheming nautre of your typical pantheon typically result in arrangements that are unstable at best. You might have peace for a few centuries or millennia, but eventually the shoe will drop and you'll either have to deal with the aggressors, try and ascend beyond their grasp before they become aware, or deal with potentially being slain/imprisoned by the gods or an uppity party of epic mortals with some fancy godslaying artifact that they "found".
