The Laws of Inversion state that for each entity, there is an equal and opposite being; actually, yeah, I made that up.
These are the Mirrorverse Deities.

Vecna (CG): The bubbly, always cheerful, happy-go-lucky Vecna is the deity of knowledge used for the benefit of all irrespective of consequences. To those hurt by hidden or destructive secrets, he shelters and cares for; to those undone by intrigue, he creates illusions and realities that serve no other purpose but to lift the spirits of those wronged.
He teaches that happiness is sacred, that violence and force, no matter how necessary is an option that must only be used as a last resort.
His puissance is equality, and will never willingly harm another, even when so forced.
He is the Free Spirit, the Friend Between.

... holding a toy Head of Vecna. :smalltongue:

This is why Pathfinder has its own pantheon: they didn't want to make chibi versions of the core deities.

Boccob (N/CN): The deity of strength without focus; the drooling, babbling Boccob ranks among the most obtuse and mentally deficient of all deities. There is no clarity to his purpose, no foresight to his actions; he lives for the moment and woe betide those who gets in his way. His singular focus is near mindless; his actions as a repeating track, always looping upon itself.
He despises arcana in all forms, a near psychotic hatred that manifests itself in a null arcane field that renders all forms of magic impotent.
He is the meddler, the intruder, his petty intrigues the blind, stumbling steps of an asinine fool; all unfortunates "helped by his hand" suffer fates far worse than death.

BOCCOB SMASH!!!

Olidammara (LN): This immaculately neat and tidy deity embodies the ideal of "a place for everything and everything in its place". He does nothing without extensive planning and has been known to demand other deities attend his long and boring presentations on what his plans are for the near future, which usually involve the preparing of his next plan, and how they fit into the grand scheme of things. He despises noises of all kinds, tolerating only the monotone drone of a speech that has been written and rehearsed until it has lost any semblance of meaning. Those who hear him speak pass out from the intense boredom that they experience and a mere utterance from him can deaden even the most lively of parties.
He teaches that order is paramount and that sponteniety will only lead to ruin.
He is the planner, the schemer and the premeditator and he is revered by beurocrats all over the great wheel.

Wee Jazz (CN): Wee Jazz most often appears in the shape of a five year old blonde girl holding a musical instrument, often a saxophone. She is the goddess of life, music and parties, and teaches that the dead should be brought to life under any circumstances, so that they can party more. She despises responsible behaviour, instead teaching that one should enjoy the present and forget the future, and strive to make the best out of each moment one has.

What about the fact that Vecna worships the Serpent? Does Vecna instead worship divine magic incarnate? And what about the fact that his mother was killed for witchcraft, making him swear revenge on all reality?

Corellon Larethian (LE): The oppressive Corellon organises brutal genocides against all who are not elves. Only he may command the elves to their crushing victory against Creation; only his dicta is accepted as the One, True Reality. There can be no free thought, no free actions, no free will in his infinite reign as doing so will only open the door to chaos; that which is offensive and redundant, and must be purged with violent and extreme prejudice. Such is the ineffable fate of chaos.
To Corellon, suffering is the natural state of existence, and to this end, he seeks to return Creation to this Truth by any means; manipulating both physical and spiritual matter to cause agony unending.

Because I love these two deities and I think inverting Exalted gods is hilarious.

Chaav (LE) - The Vile, humourless god Chaav resembles an old, decrepit man, appearing to be more like a lich than a human. He hates merriment and simple trickery, although he loves subtle word-play, as long as it is at the expense of others. He detests his sister, Lastai, and drives his followers to root out her cult and destroy her.

Lastai (LE) - The passionless Lastai is the younger sister of Chaav. She represents detachment, pain and chastity, and demands her followers remain virginal for life on pain of death. Her followers must let go of all worldly passions, cutting ties with family and friends to further their own passionless goals. Her followers, who are almost all men, bring nothing but pain and suffering in their wake.
