That would be most fun. Certainly, I think, there's defiantly a good chance the two will misunderstand one another and find themselves rather at odds with the moral/philosophical opinions of the other.

@Transience: Alright, I updated my character sheet.

Do you have an ETA on when we'll be ready to start?

Updated but willing to change it if conflicts arise.

@Transience When would you say the Starless being began attacking the Gods? Sikes is from whenever this entire mess began, though I could always leave it as a vague 'millennia ago'.

@ravenDivinity Hopefully tomorrow.

@Jack Travidi In your case I will allow a special exception. You can place Sikes anywhere between 1000 and 200 years ago.

The Last God died 1000 years ago; how would another God have died after them?

@Jack Travidi:

It is a thousand years since the formation of Ansus as a unified land, and a thousand years since the death of the last Legendary Hero of antiquity.

After that, it said that the last god died.

With the extinction of the Gods, the Last Living God saw fit to bring these legendary individuals back from the grave in a last ditch effort to defend the world itself.

I could very well be wrong, but I think that suggests there is one god still alive.

@Jack Travidi:

<Snipped quote by Transience>
After that, it said that the last god died.

I took it to mean the last God died in that similar timeframe, though that doesn't change the fact that my character would have existed faaaaaaaaar before this. Maybe my character is being confused for another?

@Vigfast: At the very end, it is stated that said god is then eaten and killed.

@Jack Travidi: Don't look at me, I didn't mistake any character for another, and I don't have anything to do with that conversation.

@Jack Travidi: Don't look at me, I didn't mistake any character for another, and I don't have anything to do with that conversation.

I was speaking generally or thinking 'aloud', if you will. Wasn't specifically saying you did.

@Vigfast: At the very end, it is stated that said god is then eaten and killed.

Reading fail is go on my part.

@Vigfast: It's alright, I'm just clarifying the timeline of events.

But how can you clarify the timeline to me if I drink more beer?

Check, Check mate.

I've edited my appearance and abilities section so they read a little better. I had some godawful sentence ordering in there >.<

A point I want to bring up, is that throughout my mythology I've never actually named which god is said to be my father. It seems that the most logical choice would be the god of winter, or something along that vein. Do you need me to elaborate on him at all?

Also at some point (Probably not tonight?) I will edit his mythology a little, taking out the parts about him supposedly being killed and coming back (oops) and including the fact that when he went to conquer the world he didn't get far outside of the eastern lands as he found them to warm and so didn't think them useful or some such reason (Another connection he could have to being the god of winters son?).

Edit: I could also do with naming the mountain, and the pass in the story.

So to clarify for all involved in the minor confusion:

The last hero of legend was thought to have died at least 1000 years prior to the present day. All of our characters (with the exception of Sikes) therefore all existed at least 1000 years prior to the current events.

The Starless has been systematically hunting Gods for at least 500 years, extinguishing one every few decades.

The Great Fire, in the last few months, has begun to dwindle. The Last God is killed pretty much as the RP begins.

The Last God brought the heroes back as a dying act.

@Transience You mention in the second paragraph of the OP:

The last Great Fire within the Bastion of Light has waned and dwindled...

Is there one fire or many? I was working under the idea that there were many, which may be where some of the confusion came in.

EDIT: It's also like that in flavor at the beginning, but you only mention the one, so I'm wondering if I misunderstood something here.

Double Edit: Sikes is no exception to the 1000+ years ago rule and I'm wondering why you think he is. :\

Yet another edit: Put in what should be the correct time frame for Sikes.

@Jack Travidi All of the legendary heroes (Bar yours) are said to have died 1000 years or more ago. The Starless has only come to fruition roughly 500 years ago, 500 years after the last (again bar yours) hero had died. As such the basis is the heroes should be at least 1000 years old by now, apart from yours whom, from your mythology, was 16 when the gods fires had started to extinguish. Placing you firmly 500 years after the last hero was meant to have died (one last time, apart from yours) being at the beginning of the Starless era makes you the youngest and most recent hero.

That's how I interpret the situation.

@Blackbeard Ugh, I wish the Last Hero and the Last God had separate names or monikers or what have you. I keep thinking they're the same thing and a lot of the word choice has me confused about when certain good vs chaotic periods happened. Stupid brain. I have no idea why I was stumbling over this like an idiot, but I think I'm actually on the same page now.

inb4 I realize I'm not. That's tomorrow me's problem though.

Also thank you @Transience for attempting to explain it. Not sure why it didn't hit me the first time and sorry if I caused any confusion for you as well. I'm having a stupid day.

@Blackbeard did a pretty good job at explaining it, @Jack Travidi. Though I do see where your confusion lies.

'The Last Hero' isn't any specific character, it literally means the last legendary individual of a certain heroic period of time; let me revise my original message:

Ansus is so far divided into 2 major eras: the legendary era and the modern era. The legendary era lasted from 60,000 years ago (when Ansus was founded) and ended 1,000 years prior to the present when Ansus became unified. All our heroes come from this era. Ansus was wracked with constant battle during this time.

The modern era is the time between Ansus' unification (1,000 years ago) to the present.

The Starless has been systematically hunting Gods for at least 500 years, extinguishing one every few decades.

The Great Fire (the big, main fire -amongst many smaller ones- that represents the head of the pantheon) in the last few months has begun to dwindle. The last living God (The head of the pantheon) is killed pretty much as the RP begins.

The last God brought the heroes back as a dying act.
