Greater Esoteric Aegis (see notes, +40 to Dispel DCs, immune to MDJ, lasts 1 day)

Greater Esoteric Aegis (based on GoH Chp2)
Abjuration
Spellcraft DC: 123
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 11 minutes
Range: Personal
Effect: 10-ft. radius emanation
Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
To Develop: 747,000 gp, 15 days, 29,880 XP (recalculate). Seeds:
ward (DC 14), transform (DC 21). Factors: gain +40
bonus on DC to avoid being dispelled (ad hoc +80),
make spell effect tenacious (as per the feat) (ad hoc +10),
end dispel checks that fail to dispel this spell automatically
(ad hoc +4), ward against mage’s disjunction (+16).
Mitigating factors: change range from touch to personal
(-2), increase casting time by 10 min (-20)
The caster calls upon the very fabric of magic to fashion
a ward to protect his own working of the Word from
those that would tear it down. A shimmering, dusky
globe surrounds the caster, intercepting any attempts to
end his spells by means of dispel magic, or similar spells
and epic spells, and providing a +40 bonus on the DC
against which the dispel attempt must succeed. Any dispel
attempt which succeeds can then proceed as normal,
but esoteric aegis works as if under the effects of the
Tenacious Magic feat, and thus cannot be dispelled, only
suppressed for 1d4 rounds. Dispel attempts that fail are
not entitled to checks against lesser spells within the area
of effect (this differs from the usual procedure of area
dispel magic attempts). Furthermore, mage’s disjunction
is warded against in its entirety.

increase casting time by 9 minutes (-18), change

Greater epic mage armor works as per epic mage
armor, except that it grants a +40 armor bonus to Armor
Class, and lasts for 3 days.

All attempts to use any form of scrying and/or divination on you or an item in your possession fail automatically. This includes the Salient Divine Abilities of deities which produce scrying or divination effects, but not their Portfolio Sense. You detect all scrying and divination attempts that target you or an item in your possession. This includes attempts to scry on you in the present, past, and future. You also get a brief glimpse of the being that attempted the scrying/divination.
Other spells I'd like to use, but haven't gotten approval for yet: Mindrape and Resonating Resistance from the Book of Vile Darkness.

Ethos
The fate all warriors is to die. The best that they can hope for is to die gloriously in battle. Then their memories can immortalize them, preserving them long past after their mortal coil has long since decayed into dust.
All things decay. Death and ruin are the inevitable end for all. Time withers away even great mountains. The waste can preserve greatness, though. It burns away impurities, and hides the purified essence in its shifting sands.
Ozymandius exemplifies this: a great warrior whose deeds have been immortalized in tales and legends, and whose body has been purified and preserved by the waste. He calls on other warriors to follow his example, and legions of such undead scions live with him in his pyramid beneath the Sands of Time (a region of Hades).

The Reaper (not approved yet)
This large headsman's axe is an artifact of great power. Crafted from the thigh bone of a greater deity, it has a +10 enhancement bonus. It overcomes all regeneration and damage reduction as if it were constantly bathed in Trollbane and had the Shadowstriking property, except it works on the first hit. It protects the wielder with a constant Spell Turning effect, and can also grant immunity to one specific spell of up to 9th level, in a fashion similiar to Greater Spell Immunity. Finally, it traps the souls of any it slays (as if it were made of Thinuan). The wielder can communicate with trapped souls telepathically, and free them if he wishes. The wielder can also cast spells or use other powers on trapped souls as long as the abilities target the mind or soul.

Custom SDAs
Master of Destiny (approved)
Prerequisites: Time and Fate Domains; Clearsight, Battlesense, and Extra Sense Enhancement SDAs, Wisdom 40
The deity can see perfectly into his own future for up to one round per divine rank. He can perfectly forsee the results of his own actions, and the actions of others as they affect him. This means he is able to react to the actions of others up to 18 rounds before they are taken, adjusting his own actions accordingly.
In game terms, this allows him to "redo" his actions for a number of rounds up to his DR. Any creatures able to percieve his new actions can react accordingly, but they have no memory of the "previous" rounds, as they never actually occurred.
Use of this power requires no action on the deity's part. It is automatic, and not even his death can prevent it, as he forsees it and reacts to it before it happens. Nothing can block the deity's ability to see his own fate, including the SDAs of other deities and cosmic entities, and the powers of artifacts. His ability to observe other creature's part in his future may be obscured by appropriate protections against divination effects, however.
This power also automatically extends to the deity's avatars and proxies, as they contain fractions of his own power and essence, but their fates may be obscured by appropriately powerful magic. The deity can also use this ability to forsee the fate of any of his followers, but this requires a swift action to use, and he can only forsee the fate of up to 1 follower per divine rank per use of this ability. Finally, the deity can use this ability on a creature that is not a follower of his, but this requires a standard action and the target can attempt a Will save to resist it. If they succeed, they know they were targetted by some kind of supernatural effect.
Stabilize Timestream SDA (not approved yet)
Prerequisite: Time domain
All time manipulation effects within 100 feet per divine rank of the deity automatically fail. This includes Time Stop, Temporal Acceleration, Time Hop, most of the abilities of phanes, etc. The deity can supress or resume this ability as a free action on his turn.
One more...
Other deific abilities:

Can spontaneously cast any spell he grants.
Can use domain spells as SLAs at will. Caster level is HD+DR. Save is 20+Cha mod +spell level +DR.

DR 45/Silver and epic (plus alignment and unique weapon forging requirements)
Divine Aura (Ex): See text. Will use Fright mostly (Shaken, Will DC 28+cha_mod)

Avatars: Can make up to 20, DR 0, half class levels. See book for more info.

Dry Lich abilities (all saves DC 15+Wis_mod):
Dessicating Touch (5d6, Fort for half)
Aura of Despair (60' radius, Will or shaken for 1d4 rounds)

Immunities
Immune to Maze, never flatfooted, never lost (Minotaur).
Undead type
Deities have the following immunities. Individual deities may have more immunities. Unless otherwise indicated, these immunities do not apply if the attacker is a deity of equal or higher rank.
Transmutation
A deity is immune to polymorphing, petrification, or any other attack that alters its form. Any shape-altering powers the deity might have work normally on itself.
Energy Drain, Ability Drain, Ability Damage
A deity is not subject to energy drain, ability drain, or ability damage. (Attacks by equal or higher rank deities of this type should work.)
Energy Immunity
Immune to electricity (dragon), sonic (deific), acid (deific), fire (SDA), and cold energies (cold subtype, from a spell), even if the attacker is a deity of higher divine rank.
Deities of rank 1 or higher are immune to disease and poison, stunning, sleep, paralysis, and death effects, and disintegration.
Deities of rank 6 or higher are immune to effects that imprison or banish them. Such effects include banishment, binding, dimensional anchor, dismissal, imprisonment, repulsion, soul bind, temporal stasis, trap the soul, and turning and rebuking.
Other abilities
Barbarian: Pounce, Rage (for FB).
Frenzied Berzerker: Cannot die from hit point damage while Frenzying. Due to being a Dry Lich, he is also immune to subdual, so he can't be knocked unconscious from hit point damage, either. He only has 5 Rages and 5 Frenzies per day, though. And they only last 6 rounds, due to his lack of a Constitution score.
Blackguard: Cha to saves, fiendish companion based on character level, Rebuke Undead (used for Divine Might).
Half-dragon: Makes him immune to electricity, and gives him non-magical flight.
Cosmic Descryer:
Naturalization (Ex)
Starting at 2nd level, the cosmic descryer develops a natural affinity for one plane that he or she has visited, becoming resistant to any spells and spell-like effects that would normally affect any creature not native to that plane.
Cosmic Connection (Su)
Dimension Door at will, can boost several things by an uncapped amount by taking damage.
Legendary Dreadnaught: Unstoppable and Unmovable powers twice per day, both of which are (Ex).
I'm not sure more Frenzied Berzerker wouldn't be better, due to the power attack improvements of that class.
He also has epic clerical spellcasting for insane buffage (some included above), and he has an Antimagic Field around him (which he ignores, thanks to his DR), making him immune to all magical attacks that don't come from deific beings (or epic spells?).
Water, Positive Energy, Divine, Vile damage and physical damage could be problems, while he isn't Frenzying. He has an SDA that totally stops all ranged weapon attacks, though, and he is by far most dangerous in melee. So if he forces his enemies to melee him, he will likely win. (Karmic Strike + Annihilating Strike + Improved Combat Reflexes means you don't want to melee him.)
