If possible, I'd love to work in Anubis to whatever fallout you come up with, since he's of the egyptian pantheon too.

Sure thing. (:

Hathor and Anubis are siblings after all.

There's a difference between "Anubis"(the mantle) and Anubis(the person holding the mantle). In this case, you'd be "Anubis", as is your right as the holder of the Anubis mantle. You'd also have the (unnamed) mantle of Anubis, who's just a really powerful spirit who gave away his old mantle. To put it in a clearer way:

Alice is Anubis. She has the mantle of Anubis. Alice gives her mantle to Bob.

Alice(no mantle), Bob(Anubis)

Now Alice's mantle regrows. She has a mantle called the Mantle of Alice. NOT the Mantle of Anubis, since she's not Anubis any more.

Alice(MoA), Bob(Anubis)

Then Alice dies and Bob recovers her mantle.

Bob(Anubis, MoA)

So Bob doesn't really have two mantles of Anubis, he has a mantle of Anubis and a Mantle of Alice.

EDIT: It's also of some note that the Mantle of Anubis and the Mantle of Alice are pretty similar, since Alice, the unique person, imprinted her unique identity on both of them. So, like JS said, it's pretty pointless for Bob to collect her mantles unless he has a personal obsession with Alice.

That's actually really helpful. Thank you.

This is going to make me relearn so much mythology I've forgotten.

No Norse god players? Loki interactions are always fun.

Loki, fun? I'm skeptical, but Norse gods are much fun. I'm debating on if I want to jump on the ship or not as well.

Does the sex of the mantle holder have to match the sex of the god?

Egyptian Mythos is my favorite, even if the gods never stay the same god depending on what time period you look at, and then some gods are the same gods and some just disappear. Or one cult wipes out another, or the Pharaoh wants to change a god to be more important...*grumbles*

Does the sex of the mantle holder have to match the sex of the god?

Nope. And you don't get gender-bent to match the previous holder, unless you're much weaker than the previous holder and the previous holder's mantle is known to have a corrupting influence or something, to shape the new owner into something closer to the original owner.

Huwwy up that sign up ;4;

Sorry, writing up the game thread is taking more time than I thought it would. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it tomorrow. No matter what happens, it should be up by the end of this week, though.

Ugh... I'm really sorry, guys, but I won't be able to get the signup thread out today either. But I'm almost finished! Only need to do the descriptions of the last few factions. Unless some seriously unforeseen things happen, it really should be up tomorrow.

Aaaaaaaaaaand the signup thread is finally up.

To those whom it may concern: @shagranoz@Bloodtypesuper@Dead Cruiser@ravenDivinity@FrozenEcstasy@Wishful Stray@DarkwolfX37@Arcanaut

I have reserved all the mythological figures you guys said you wanted to play as. Yes, @Dead Cruiser, that's why it says Tiamat is taken; she's been reserved for you.

Having read the opening post now and seeing the ranks, would Zadkiel have been a regular archangel or a different rank?
And just to be sure, is it possible, for a human to have an alignment other than neutral? I might make a human with a light alignment if I can.
I'm also surprised that Amaterasu is the leader of the japanese pantheon and not Izanagi.

Take all discussions to the game thread, please. I'll answer your question there.
