Kind of disrespectful to Hawaiian culture. There are some cool ideas from Hawaiian religion that might go into a game (animal "guardian spirits", shapeshifting, elemental dieties), but I would abstract them and not use actual names. Sorry if I'm being a killjoy, but it's tiresome because I have to see Hawaiian culture commoditized and sold to tourists enough already.

I'm sorry if I made you chill deficient, it was just a names joke. H-god is actually a lot more like Voudoun (actual "Voodoo") in that it focused around protection from ancestors and Shinto (which has some similar ideals) but...this wasn't serious.
