Oh, the link. I thought you were talking about the cs. Still, the image works fine for me. What a shame tho, I liked that image.

Also, her detection level is 4 because..... it's, um, hard to hide in the light?

I can change it if you want.


xDD it seems you haven't understood the newly added Concealment/Detection mechanic - go read the second OOC post and do what it says ;P

I have looked and double-looked for any mentions of concealment and detection. The ONLY mentions I have found them is only a very small area in the Levels hider. THAT'S IT.

I made a small edit to my bio regarding concealment. It's guesswork, but it's something.

A god's essence leaves a mark, or a trail, wherever they go. This trail, unless concealed, can be detected by other gods. Might can be used to strengthen a god's concealment, and detecting these trails requires the expenditure of Might by a god on their detection capabilities. Detection and concealment naturally rise by 1 per level.


Yup, that's all there is to it. Quite simple. Gods now have detection/concealment levels which naturally rise by 1 whenever they level up. A god can use Might to increase their concealment/detection level.
As all gods begin at level 1, both concealment and detection must necessarily begin at level 1 also.
I might want to also add that a god's domain and portfolio does increase or decrease inherent concealment/detection capabilities. A god of Light would be far worse at detection/concealment than a god of Trickery

I also saw somewhere that we would be starting at level two? I put down two for each due to that, since I'm confused there.

That is what I was going for. Her Concealment is only Level 1 because, well, we don't exactly except Light to be able to hide well, nor would it have a reason to.

However, Detection would be higher because anything in the Light would be visible, and therefore more detectable (is that a word? I think so, since autocorrect doesn't do anything about it), at least more so than if one would be hiding in the shadows.

The one small excerpt you placed in the Levels hider wasn't very clear on exactly how Detection and Concealment worked, so perhaps I made it a bit too high. I can easily lower the level to, like, say, 2 or 3.

@Scarifar

The image appears to be broken, try using another link from another source.

@kho

I actually have no qualms about this character using souls in that way, having a quick glance over: Alsildir makes sure the souls leave when they're supposed to, but this character is fulfilling another part of that cycle: bringing souls back.

Asildir's main beef when souls are brought back is when it's necromancy or direct resurrection, this is reincarnation and doesn't appear to have a deliberate focus. Happens naturally, so to speak.

These two would probably be in regular contact to make sure that the cycle is working efficiently.


Good luck being in 'regular contact' with Slough. Not only will she do her absolute best to avoid such a thing, but she has no mental capacity to 'make sure the cycle is working efficiently', and even if she did she has only the crudest awareness of her own power--not even enough to turn it off.

@Vec So if you're god of the sun/day, can I be god of the stars/night?


Ull's D/P is Cosmic/Solar, you could be Cosmic/Lunar. This ensures you would have control of all things concerning the moon or smthing. Just my suggestion; its up to you in the end.

@Kho Didn't you write in the OP that all gods will start at Lvl 2 because the Big Bang will infuse them with power or something?

@Valor At the very beginning, before a Universe has been created, all gods are at level 1. After the creation (which will take place in Turn 1), all gods will have used up all their Might and gone up to Level 2 due to the creation process.
Turn 1 and the Creation will be very much introductory, more an exercise in choreography between all of us, once that's done we can go crazy.

Basically, to get to the nub of the matter, she can't be above Level 1 in either because you haven't spent any Might to make her better at those things.
Any inherent Detection abilities she has due to her Domain (Portfolio) are accounted for in her inherent powers, just like a god of Earth's power over Earth is accounted for in the fact that they are an Earth god - if that makes sense.

I fail to see how your analogy was relevant to what we were discussing, but I digress. I will make the necessary adjustments.

And it's done.

@Vec Cosmic (Stellar) Perhaps? Believe me, I intend to grab Lunar as well. All in all, if he's going for everything that represents the day, I'm going for everything that represents the night. THE STARS ARE MINE!

Hmm, I thought the Concealment/Detection mechanism was rather simple and straightforward and didn't want to bore anyone reading the OP more than I already was. If everyone is having difficulty understanding how it works, I can go back and expand on it.

I think the problem was that it was too short and small for people to understand, especially considering how much information you put for everything else.

It's better if we refrain from touching the Stellar portfolio for now at least IMO. The Sun is a star and it would be somewhat unconvenient for me if someone could just negate Ull's powers with just a wave of his/her hand.

EDIT: and of course, all stars are Suns
