Mhm. Well, it's more that, in the recent year, new gods and new shinki have been so strangely different than it was in the past, so I'm not sure how else to refer to all of you.

For example, hmm... You wouldn't be 'assigned' to a god. In the past, a god would find a stray soul or a shinki with no name, and name them into being their shinki.
