World Creation - High Fantasy

[ghostEmperor]

Ephon (this is the name that we have decided upon for the world)

NOW ONLY ACCEPTING IF YOU CAN CONVINCE ME

IC thread

This is what I want to accomplish with this RP, which we'll use to make others.


- Everyone makes a god character, op is welcome and encouraged because in the lore these characters will be the gods.
- After the OOC and everything I make the IC and the creation starts.
~I want the world to have the basic races, Elves, Dwarfs, Humans and Orcs . . . but as the gods of creation you can make your own races, just run it by the GM.
~I want us to make all of the countries and cultures and animals and such
~I want the races to war with each other
~I want the world to be shaped
- Once the world is created I'll open another OOC and start the rp that would be based on this WC rp. The people that play in this one can influence their god character. Playing as the god in the second rp would be more so influencing but you post all of their view points or tell people what you want them to do with your god. But you would have a new character, a mortal, to play the story line with.

Essentially we are creating a world that in the future would serve as an RP. Everyone will make a god character, with that character we will work together to create the world. After the world is created in the IC, we would need to make races, then have them war and create culture.

Accepted Characters

Name: Iduria

Gender: Female

Appearance: A young woman in her twenties, clad in rather revealing robes with a hood, which she has always covering her face. Frequently, she has a staff with her. She can take on various animal forms, though her symbol and her favorite form is a black wolf.Sphere: Iduria is the Goddess of Magic, Adversity and Conflict. All magical beings or things are her domain.


Personality: Iduria is a very mysterious goddess, not telling anyone much about what she thinks or why she does what she does. Nobody knows why she grants her gift of magic and so magic can turn up unexpectedly in the strangest places. She appreciates those who can see the value in things, who are intelligent and cunning, but cannot abide those who are foolish at all. This in turn makes magic a powerful but very complicated and dangerous weapon to wield. Knowledge about magical arts is few and hard to come by. Frequently, spells and magical experiments can and do go wrong, sometimes with deadly outcome. Only those deserving of her gift will survive, and Iduria wouldn’t have it any other way. Survival of the fittest, of the best. She is hard, but delicate; powerful, but fragile; giving, but sometimes wicked. That is Iduria’s way.

Goals: Like she herself, Iduria’s goals are shrouded in mystery. Some are known, though, mainly because of her actions. She wants those with her gift to strive to be the best or perish in the attempt. She wants victory through adversity and conflict.

Other: Aside from those she bestowed the gift of magic upon, she also created the first true Sprites of the world. Also, all wolves are seen as her messengers.

Played by Atri

Name: Ravien

Gender: Male:

Appearance:

He wears robes of white, and has feathery wings(not like the pic), his hair is whatever color he wants along with his eyes. He carries a spear which is his symbol. The above picture is what he looks like when he goes to battle.

Below is the form he takes most of the time. However the eyes are gold, pure gold.


Sphere: Ravien is the Chief of the gods, he is the ruler of space and time. Ravien has no dominion over the mortal plain yet as it has not been made. But he fancies himself the Lord of creation, even though nothing has yet been created, because he is the chief of the gods and they are his to order.

Personality: Ravien is calm and considerate, he takes into account all that is said, then judges from what is known. He enjoys the prospect of creation. He takes care of his creations and his brethren, he dislikes the idea of war but he does see where it is necessary. Ravien is more than happy to answer the needs of his creations and allies and friends. However, if the needs be ridiculous he will promptly ignore them. Having never risen his voice, nor spoke ill of any, he thinks himself good.

Goals: Ravien wants to create a world in which he can make beings to roam and develop. His vision, not a real vision, is that all the gods contribute to the world and make a part in their own way. He wants to see them live together in harmony. This of course wont happen.

Other: Ravien is going to create the Elves and maybe another race if I can think of a name and such. He is also going to create the forest and things of that nature.

Played by ghostEmperor

Name: Nahpkor

Appearance:

Though, more often than not, he appears as a raven on the mortal plane:


Sphere: Nahpkor is the god of Life, death and destiny. His is often depicted as a waterwheel; representing the ever turning of life into death and back again. And that this cycle is endless and inescapable.

Personality: He is patient, yet when roused his wrath is terrible. He frequently interacts with the mortal plane, nudging mortals along their destiny, and occasionally guiding them. He dislikes doing that, as he sees himself as impartial, though he is not deaf to those who pray for his aid, and, if he answers them, it may not be in a very direct way.

Goals: He is concerned with order, wanting all the pieces to fit correctly. As-well-as not wanting the mortal world to stagnate, which is why he strives for the mortal world to be in a constant flux to encourage ingenuity.

Other: He is the lord of the land of the dead. And in his spare time is working on designs for an avian race.

Played by Mysterious Rook

Name: Adena

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Real World-





Sphere: Fate, she is the goddess of the past, the present and the futures

Personality: She is usually quite friendly to those who visit, but tends to live in isolation. The only person she visits is her sister Allura. She takes joy in creation, her favourite pastime being the sewing of tapestries or painting.

Goals: Adena wishes for nothing more than peace and prosperity. She also strives for curiosity and creativity, those patrons of art and science are hers.

Other: I say futures because she sees them as possibilities triggered by certain events. There is no one certain future, but she can steer people toward one she likes best. She and her sister will create the pixie race.

Played by Blondini

Name: Allura

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Real World-




Sphere: Weather, she is the goddess of the skies both sun and storm.

Personality: Positive and outgoing, although she invests herself fully into anything she does. Meaning that if she gets angry, or sad, there is no room for any other emotion until something new comes along.

Goals: Primarily Allura wants balance. Just as plants need both sun and rain to survive, so she knows that a world needs both good and evil. But, neither can be allowed to outweigh the other.

Other: She co-creates the pixie race with her sister Adena, but secretly also creates the storm Dragons- merciless where the pixies are kind, domineering where the pixies are naïve.

Played by Blondini

Name: Feron

Sphere: The God of War and creator of the human race.

Goals: Feron wishes to create a variety of individuals known as humans, where their purpose will be to fulfill their lives before it is time for them to be no more. Such can be completed in various ways, depending on the individual’s perspective of life itself.

Personality: The God of War is not necessarily considered an evil entity, though simply one that understands the fact that everything that is created must be the strongest to survive or it will fall to stronger versions of their own beings. Being open minded that each person or thing will not always seek out battles or other similar aspects of their lives, such does add a variety to their existence.

Other: A majority of the human race will worship Feron as that of a merciful God, a powerful God, or even a God to be feared while others (a gift presented to the race by Feron) will have the freedom to worship whichever God it is that they so desire. All must understand that no vengeance will be taken upon those that stray, but blessings or other achievements would be granted to the humans that do worship Feron alone.

Played by ZLDark

Name: Torik

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Appears on the mortal plane as:


Sphere: Torik is the god of Delerium, Delusion, and Madness.

Personality: Torik likes to laugh. Which is why he causes all this chaos and madness: for fun. This might tell you that he's crazy. Which in turn could very well be true. Torik is often depicted in sculptures as a jester, because of this.

Goals: He is simply there to toy with the subjects of the world. He enjoys chaos and madness, and his sole purpose is to cause that. But Torik doesn't enjoy flat out destruction. For even he, the God of Madness, believes there is no purpose in madness.

Other: Torik likes to keep a Flame Forager as a pet
Also will be creating the Orcish race. Because of their roots, the Orcs will be know for their violent personality.

Played by Ride TheNarwhal

Name: Mim

Gender: Woman

Appearance:

Mim has four shapes, two ethereal bodies and two mortal shells.

The first two are her shapes of Justice, law and honour. Shapes of power and steel.
Ethereal:

Her two second shapes are her shapes of warmth, passion for life,
Mortal:


Her two second shapes are her shapes of warmth, passion for life, mercy and gentleness. Shapes of quick anger and quick kindess.
Ethereal:

Mortal:

Sphere: Mim has two warring opposites in her nature. One is a determination of Justice, coldly analyzing right and wrong without prejudice or mercy, valuing honour above all. The other is a passion for life, loving and hating and acting upon those emotions. These two spirits war between eachother, one sometimes winning, then the other. These shifts affect her Dwarvish disciples and how their culture grows.

Personality:

In Justice she is fearless, determined, often cold and ruthless. However she rewards honour and loyalty with love, taking those loyalest to her and favouring them with her power.

In Passion she is loving and kind and compassionate, or vicious and angry and harsh, depending upon whom is meeting with her. She loves children and will try to help all she deems worthy, while horribly destroying those she sees as evil.

Goals:

Justice wants a world of honour and law, with people acting for the greater good rather than their own personal gain. She wants structure and civility in all.

Passion wants a world of love and light and interest where people are individuals and they act to satisfy their own wants and passions.

Other: She will create the Dwarves, creatures of the perfect mix between her two personalities. Lovers of crafting and the creating of things with passionate hearts and determined minds, loyal to the death to their friends and fight to the death with their enemies. Their allegiance to their family and to their race held above all other things. Mim is worshipped by them differently for each of her manifestations. Justice is given adoration and deep respect, the worship of her taken very seriously. Passion, although treated wit respect, is also treated like some kind of Grandmother to them all, loved by all and given affection as well as Adoration.

As Justice she goes alone, but as Passion she rides a giant old boar named Charr over the mountain paths. Charr's soul is reincarnated into a new body from his progeny each time Passion gains control. The Dwarves keep the Boar in their grand temples and when one is born of white fur with red streaks about its eyes they know of Passions return. When Charr returns to the same Temple to die they know of Justice's return. Each shift is accompanied by its own glorious celeration in the Dwarvish Mountain halls, to which Mim often attends.

Played by Erranruin

Name: Aria-A'Tazsch (The Eightfold Lord, The Spider King, Unweaver

Gender: Male

Appearance: The Spider King rarely takes a human form, but when he does, he appears as a desiccated, somewhat rotten corpse, with huge, glistening black eyes. He wears a long, fungi-covered cloak covered with rips and tears. He has a long scraggly beard that flows to his feet, and he carries a staff of rotten wood. Woodlice, flies, spiders and other such creatures crawl across his robe. He stinks of rot. Otherwise, he takes the form of a gigantic, fat spider, with hundreds more legs and eyes than he should be able to fit on his body.*

Sphere: Aria-A'Tazsch is the lord of decay, entropy, destruction and some aspects of nature.*

Personality: Considering both his sphere of influence and his ultimate destiny, the calm, eccentric nature of the Eightfold Lord seems somewhat incongruous. He takes little interest in intelligent beings, preferring to watch the lives of plants or animals, and is not above trying to interact with them, no matter how negative the consequences. He has something of a limited imagination and is also somewhat vain. He often says somewhat inane statements that are entirely unrelated to the topic at hand or gives himself strange and dramatic monikers, and his vaguely cheery attitude accentuates the oddity of this. It should be noted that there are certain subjects that cause his ire to flare up fiercely. An angered Aria-A'Taszch is a severely unpleasant and dangerous creature.

Goals: For all the associations of his sphere, the Eightfold Lord is far from unpleasant, and in fact seeks to try his hand at creating things. Perhaps better than any other he sees the importance of change and growth, and the necessity of making space for new by removing the old.

Other: (Do sapient giant spiders count as a traditional fantasy race? If not, can I give him sapient giant spiders as his designated race?)

Played by SIngemeister

Name: Alaric

Gender: Male

Appearance:

He appears as a man wearing a dark cloak, no one, save the gods, has ever seen his face.

He can also appear as a dragon made of shadow. Though there is no telling what he will appear as.

Sphere: He is the god of darkness, simply darkness. All of the evil in the universe answers to him, for he is it's creator and he controls it.

Personality: Alric is a narcicist, he cares mot what others think, they will always be wrong unless they think as he does. He is always angry(At least after he was found to be evil and banned from the heavens), and as a result will kill most things that cross his path. He created darkness out of whim, and it is his.

Goals: His one and only goal is to exact his revenge upon the other gods, and reclaim his seat in the heavens. If he can rid himself of the others, all the better.

Other: Alaric saw that Ravien had made Archons, and Iduria Magic. Alaric took these things and made his own creation. Alaric took an Archon of Ravien, Oreth, and the magic of Iduria and twisted them together. Two things that should never have touched, bound in one being.

The magic twisted the mind of Oreth, and corrupted him. This made the birth of a new magic, necromancy. (we all know what necromancy is.) There is only one necromancer, and it will remain as such for Oreth hasn't the intent to share his knowledge. Alaric also saw the creation of Ravien, elves, and corrputed it. He created Dark Elves. They are the same as regular elves, but they are corrupt, they kill as Alaric does and war when they can. They live in the forest as the others. But since they're population is less, they live in the smaller forests dotted around the world.

I'll try to get a CS up in the morning.

If you want/have time to, you could skim through my current RP and tell me if you think I'm up to doing an advanced RP.

[ghostEmperor]

alright, I'll do that.

- - - Updated - - -

I read a few. One that stuck out was your first post on an IC, it was about your character apparently being sucked into a computer . . . really good. You'll do fine, just remember to expand a bit.

[ghostEmperor]

alright :/

- - - Updated - - -

Working on a cs for my evil god worshiped mostly by humans.

Yeah, that's fine. Just note that the person who creates humans will probably be worshiped by them, unless that's you. And guys, remember to think of new races that your deity will create.
