Gosh, I am so tempted to join this. Like, really. But seeing as my plate is quite full at the moment, I might not be able to do. I will keep a close eye on this though. Who knows, I might find some free time yet.

@RedDusk When you do , we will be here :)

@Mae In my character's background, am I allowed to refer to another God? Just to explain if someone did someone to said god. Example: Aphrodite or Athena.

@sakurasan yep but they can't be this world's pantheon gods, they must be other characters or NPC gods you've made

@Mae Oh no I know xD I just want to use one of the God's as someone that so and so vexed. Don't worry, not trying to bring in Aphrodite or something~ mine is called Xana. : D

This seems very interesting, but I've never done an RP like this and I might be out of my depth...

@Shadow Daedalus I haven't done this either. Ever. But Miss @mae can help us if we have problems :) ( hopefully for her , we won't have xD )
+ it can't be that hard , can it ? :)

@Shadow Daedalus
The quote in your signature, did you make it up?

@Ashevelendar Here's hoping :D

@Framing A Moose I think I heard it somewhere, but I can't remember where. It's a saying I remember from a long time ago, which personified Life and Death. I think they were siblings?

@Shadow Daedalus Yes they were siblings. I can't remember where I heard it tho' :( @Framing A Moose

@Shadow Daedalus
I see. I don't want to be rude or anything, but I think that it's trying a little to hard to be darkly poetic. If it were me, I'd change it to "Because you're a beautiful truth, and I am a painful one". That way, it doesn't depict life as a lie, and, unless you're one of those really edgy people (and I'm being general here. I don't think you, personally, are edgy.), there's no reason to believe that life is a lie.

@Framing A Moose

Eh by changing it's tone it loses it's meaning and just makes it seem like a motivational poster, it also comes off as naive. Some people think life has no purpose and they're kinda right.

@Ashevelendar You've heard it too? Gosh, now I really want to know where I remember the saying from.

@Shadow Daedalus as others have stated, I'm happy to help out every step of the way :D

@Inertia
I disagree. I believe that it comes across much more poetic than the original. The original definitely seems like it's trying too hard to be edgy. If life is a lie, than so is death, and everything. Life is really all there is.

@Mae I'll admit, ever since I read that opening post, I was drawn to the idea of being a Dark God, mainly centred around the concepts of War and Violent Death as opposed to a Starkissed God/Goddess of Peaceful Death. The idea that a person so dark can still find love is something that gives me hope. Is that a problem?

@sakurasan Yep. I did. Can't seem to know where. Either a book or a game.

@Framing A Moose

Death is literally the only Constance in life though. Be they rich, poor, medium class, we're all gonna die lel

Edit: this is more of a downer than it was in my head.

@Framing A Moose I'd argue the concepts of lies and truth fit both life and death very poorly. Death is the great unknown that every person will certainly experience. We can only speculate about its implications and meaning, but that is all there is. The only truth about death is its certainty, and all else is speculation. Is death painfull? Of course it is for the living left behind, but does that make death painful or the loss of the living? Death isn't painfull, or at least not confirmed, but loss is.

Life, what is true or false about life? Life is a physical object having biological processes at its very base. Anything else, how we live life and perceive life, is simply what we make of it. This perception may be true or false, but ultimately every perception is speculative. Does life have a meaning? Is life beautiful? It is only so to those who perceive it to be like that. As such, the truth of falsehood of life doesn't really exist. What only exists are truths of falsehoods about our perceptions of life.

I personally perceive the quote as the beautiful lie being the joy of living, while deluding oneself that the horribles in life do not exist. Death is a tragic, inevitable thing that causes grief in the living left behind. Thus, I perceive the painful truth as the loss experienced by the living that impairs their joy.

A little too philosophical? XD

@Shadow Daedalus Not a problem at all! In fact part of the drama! I am fascinated what will happen to the characters who are really dark when they find out one of the gods is their starkissed. I am making a really horribly evil god right now, so feel free to join the party ;)

Sorry on the wait on the OOC everyone! I'm always such a fidgetter when it comes to working out how to lay things out and leave room :P
