:O Could we turn humans into angels?


Turn humans into angels. Turn another god's angels back into humans. Turn humans into angels then whisper 'lol nope get rekt son' before blowing them up while blasting shitty dubstep. Turn humans into cats with tentacles that live off lava vents. Start a church based on turning humans into angels which you then import to a divine realm of angelic choir upon a cloud of cleansing light, where repentant humans come to be washed free of guilt. Watch as another god with a different taste in aesthetic grows jealous enough to sabotage your new religion.

You're a god. Have fun.

And maybe create constructs or is that a bit to crazy?


The rules on 'crazy' are looser than those on potential destructive power. If it's within your character's personality and time span to create a thing, then do it. It would help to know what you mean by 'construct', though. Constructs as in mechs? Go for it. Constructs as in humans turned into androids? Sure! Constructs as in artificial intelligence? That could be a bit more complicated, since at a certain level of intelligence it would probably count as creating a soul, which is not allowed. Simple, narrow robot intelligence (dumb AI) should be fine, though.

I want in, this sounds like a lot of fun :D
Also just wondering, could things such as flooding the city or large scale disasters be done by us gods or not?

:D My character changed over night so I'm shooting for a 19 year old that was shy and scared of small things to begin with but after death becomes more worried. Which leds him to creating a cult and maybe constructs to keep him safe. :'D but then the cult is gonna realize 'Hey...what type of god is scared of dying?' and try to over throw him which ends badly...... >~< I have so much planned!!!!! D:!!!!!!!

Hah! It's a longer term plan than I've got. My character is most likely going to start by going to a comic convention and giving all her favourite artists blessings. And maybe empowering the best cosplayers with their subjects' abilities...

Her divine realm is probably going to end up looking like the biggest Vegas showroom. If you're passionate about your entertainment, you're allowed in.

Part of that would fall under the realistically arbitrary but also necessary rule of excessive destruction. Certainly you could make a river rise a few metres and burst its banks to cause some random destruction, and do so repeatedly, but on a city wide scale, that would take a while to have really catastrophic effects. Honestly I don't think the power limit (medium skyscraper an hour) I've set on the gods will ever be sufficient to change things like climate or tectonic plates far enough or suddenly enough to produce a noticeable effect. Those things are just so monstrously huge.

The thing that bothers me so much about a nuclear explosion as opposed to other forms of destruction is that it's set off by an object- A comparatively small one at that- and objects are fair game to create. Earthquakes, cyclones, mass floodings are all triggered by events, sometimes a long string of events going back quite a while. Could you engineer the kind of climatic events needed to pull stuff like this? Probably not, because the main limitation on your power is the time it takes to exercise, and events require much more precise timing, possibly in more than one place at once.

Within the boundaries of your divine realm, however, go nuts. Access from your divine realm to the mortal plane is limited by the size and number of portals you can maintain, though.

As one counter to the nuke, might a god have some sort of future-vision when it concerns massive amounts of death? I imagine most of the gods are pretty invested in keeping their city and worshippers alive, so if they had some warning would be willing to intervene.

That way, if a god wants to destroy the city, they have to get cunning and set events in motion which are hard to stop with a simple snap of the fingers teleporting said nuke into the elemental plane of nuclear fission.

Also, just wondering, would the characters remember the crash in which they were? Because that can be pretty traumatic and maybe be the cause of some changes in said characters, so it could be potentially interesting.
The alternative could also fun to explore to, especially if the character is the revengeful/inquisitive type.

So basically, whatever goes as long as it's not overpowered or ridiculously unfair, and as long as it's within the rules?


p much

It's harder to be unfair than it is to be unfun, though. The gods all have the same powers and resources. Using them in a way that destroys significantly more physical complexity than it creates is what's discouraged.

Also I should have specified last post: For a god to die, all three of those conditions have to be met at the same time.

Also, do you have an estimate on when the OOC will be up?


Not tomorrow. I'm shooting for the day after.

Some will. Some won't. Some may have died quicker than others. Some may not realise they're actually dead for longer than others. Up to you!

That would fit very well, actually. I could add some kind of entropy-sense to the set that includes gravitation towards other gods, so that the characters feel some kind of growing dread the closer something morbidly destructive comes to completion. Neither of the two are very well explained anyway, but I prefer them both a lot more to unspoken rules. Thanks!

Remember, kids, if you want to initiate mass destruction of a city state, always do so in a way that promotes healthy counterplay, and don't forget to have fun.

@Antarctic Termite wait, if two Gods end up getting intimate, could there be more damned Gods? Something tells me this whole world will become crowded with so many Gods...

I'm a little concerned that things could get a little too chaotic. And by that I mean, I like the idea, but I'm thrown by the possibility of too many people trying to be the villain and a lot of people doing too many different things all at once (so much so that it becomes confusing). I don't want this to get too random and illogical. Too much chaos is a little bit of a turnoff if there's not some control or a degree of normalcy or an overarching conflict to keep the characters in check.

It would probably do well to have a general over-arching idea that keeps the Gods from going batshit. Maybe something like a force that threatens to take away the players powers, or something that is almost unstoppable by said players that threatens to destroy their domain of control - Earth.

Well, our GM did mention he might introduce some kind of world eater at some point. I'm fine with it being a sandbox to start with though.
