What about Coatlicue for Doom? Or Life I guess. I think she's better for Doom though. *edit to add: I currently have Eunomia down for Vi's denizen

I'm thinking Dionysus would make a good Rain denizen; since he's the Greek god of madness, chaos, and pleasure. There's also Mania, Greek goddess of madness.
I think there's gotta be some better denizens for Rain. I just can't think of any.

(JOKER) Israfel, or Trumpeter from Islamic lore. There are many mad divinities out there.

Note the line about 'Wine and Ceremonies' in GG's Rage chapter.
And the slight resemblance of Rage's symbol to a theatrical mask.
Dionysius is absolutely, positively, a Rage Denizen.

Rage's associated color also happens to be purple, whereas Dyonisus is the god of grapes and wine. I though that it was perfect, since it involved Gamzee's theme of drug abuse along with his themes of being angry/causing fear/dancing/pacifying his underlings.
For Rain, I guess you could use Eris? Greek goddess of chaos. Or you could use the latin version of the name, Discordia, which has a certain appeal.

To be frank, Eris is not the goddess of chaos as she is the goddess of discord and interpersonal strife. As such, she kind of has "hope" written all over.
I believe the Greek personification of chaos is called, well, Chaos.

And he (it?) is more fitting as a Space Denizen IMHO. Cause he is a progenitor entity, just like Echidna.
Feminine Rage Denizen could be Lyssa (personification of Rage and rabies, known for her temperate approach to her domain). Feminine Rain Denizen is actually fairly obvious. Iris, personification of rainbow. How did we missed that 8?

Or Sleipnir, who rides over the rainbow bridge Bifrost?

Nah, the Greeks notion of Chaos is a formless void and the word chaos means emptiness. It's not a god that actively brings disorder. Though it's true that Eris could be related to Hope since it means hatred. If we want to look at lesser divinities for Rain, there's also Lyssa, a really minor goddess of furry and madness.

hmmmmm
Although it's not really a goddess, there could be Pandora, too? Possibly for Rain or Doom.

Sidhartha for Hope, maybe? And Amaterasu is Light.
I assume we don't really care which mythologies we use for the names.
Assuming christian myth is fair game: Semyaza for rage, Kokabiel for Stars or space, Batariel for Rain, Zaqiel for Void, Shamsiel for light, Yomiel for Flow, and Sariel for law.

I've been going by any old mythology, myself.

I think Izanagi would be a good Space Denizen, considering he kind of made the whole world and that's what Space players are doing. As for other denizens, how about Hyperion (Titan lord of light) for Light, Okeanos (Titan of the sea) for Might, Phaeton for Hope, and Achilles for Blood?

Hyperion would work with Mind better actually, but this is my opinion.
Okeanos works for Might, and so does Shalassa.

How about Sekhmet as a Law/Rage denizen?
