From what little fluff I know, chaos gods are fueled by their specific emotion and belief in them (Except for the chaos god of atheism) So if I pray to Khorne every morning and night, kill things, and scream unholy fury, he get's stronger. That is fine, what I'm more thinking of, is how new ones are created, and where they get their identity. Did the entity that would be Slaanesh decide it liked the name, or did something give it the name? If I started preaching about Clip-Clop the Chaos god of Bronies, and enough people believed, would that god come into existence?

If I get smart-a** a remark like "When a mommy warp denizen, and a daddy warp denizen love each other veeeerrry much..." I will chuckle slightly and move on.

Slaanesh was named by humanity. The Eldar call it, "She Who Thirsts." Secondly, I believe that Chaos Gods are just powerful Daemons that were fueled to God hood because the specific type of emotion they embodied became a major thing and people started worshiping it. Also, Daemons are created from emotion. So I suppose....

1. The complex emotions associated with "Bronies" form a new set of Daemons.
2. One Daemon, referred to as Clip-Clop, sets up a large mortal cult.
3. The Cult of Clip-Clop spreads. Bronies revolt against the Imperium.
4. Clip-Clop is elevated to GodHood. The Bronies set up new Daemon Worlds in the Eye of Terror with names such as "Rainbow Valley" and "Pony Land."

That blew my mind. I wish I could give you money.

5. Khorne subsequently curb stomps Clip-clop, utterly destroying it's essence.

It's said that Lesser daemons are just fragments of the god itself, so this would mean Furies are potential gods, since they're not bound to any one god.

Gods are formed when enough of the same emotion pools together to become self sustaining.

Furies are Daemons of Chaos Undivided and don't belong to any Dark God and they are much weaker than four Gods, so they can't become deities.
