The Merging of the Worlds

[Dragonbeard]

Alright, here's my piece of evil

Name: Yahma
Mythology: Japanese mythology
Age: 88
Skillset: Physical strength and speed. Yahma are rumored to have the power to control lightning, while not every written text agrees on the exact manifestation of this ability.

Yahma's are depicted as Lion-like creatures, being both four-legged and two-legged depending on the source. Their bodies are usually covered in, or entirely consist of lightning.

They are believed to be sent down from the heavens through lightning strikes.

Excellent. One more, and we can start.

Okay, people, we're starting tonight. Let me throw up an introductory post, and we'll be on our way.

I made the IC, get to it guys!

The Merging of the Worlds IC

Great post, but I have two minor issues, and a nitpick.

First, let's keep non-DM hands off the deities for now. What you've got going is fine, but I like the gods and demons to remain in character... Hence Bilwis going around trying to kill, while Biffrons, Zagam, and Quetzalcoatl are passive. Apollo seems the type to find a hot college chick and seduce her. But what you've got is also ok for the early stage os th RP.

Also; the other kid couldn't have called the cops. The power is out. 3G's also out, though I don't think I mentioned that. That one's on me.

Finally: skip a line when a new character speaks. Otherwise, excellent post.

I am aware of the need to skip lines. Sometimes however, the transition from one speaking person to another is made apparent by the interdicting narration, rendering additional spacing superfluous. I will endeavor to include additional spacing in the future since you have requested it.

As for the gods, the Greek pantheon as a whole was never particularly nice. That said, there is plenty of room for our golden flyboy to not actually be Apollo. We just have one person's opinion on the matter. For all we know it could be something entirely different yet similar. Or perhaps a herald of Apollo as opposed to Apollo himself. It was not my intention to corner a god's role this early. It would help somewhat if you could provide a list of figures you want us to avoid using whenever we need to reach into the mythological crucible grab-bag.

[StormHaiku]

That's actually a pretty good point. I never mentioned which ones to stay away from. Sorry about that. For now, let's keep the major Greek gods out of it, same with the Norse Pantheon, as well as higher-up Abrahammic angels and demonic demigods. I have a plan for the big Indian demons (i.e. Shiva, Vishnu, Kama, Ganesh), and the Aztec/Mayan pantheon.

All of the lower order demons of any mythology are cool to use, though. Just keep off the big name guys.

I suggest, if you're not familiar (no insinuation that any of you are not) with demonology, I highly advise you guys to take a look at these.

The List of Demons in the Ars Goetia, the List of Mythical Creatures and demons, The Lesser Key of Solomon, and the Pseudomonarchi Daemonum.

Why does it seem like I'm the only one posting?

[Xartarin]

What, like, posting right this second?

I'm cleaning is why. I just got home for the summer and I've got a lot stuff to unpack.

[StormHaiku]

I just like to post at a fairly regular pace; people seem to lose interest if they don't post for a day or so. But I understand that you have things going on, so take your time.
