Oraculum Perambulans in tenebris

Ey Leute!
This seems as good a time as any other for introductions, and thus I appear. Having glimpsed this thread now and then, and eventually grown interested enough to crawl my way through most of the IC (I will admit, heavily relying on the summaries, at least for the moment), I found it to be something I in which would greatly enjoy participating, and now come to ask if there may still be some place for my humble self in here.

That said, I have just now become most inopportunely busy. While I am still very much active (and thus not just pointlessly cluttering the thread with this), my first contributions here, if they are to come anytime soon, may be somewhat slow. I realise this note makes this a rather ungainly first post, but hopefully it is not so bad as to call for too terrible a punishment (or is it?).

@Oraculum Hello there! I've seen you stalking round these parts before. Good of you to join us! Don't worry, we bite.

Just to go through the normal procedures for aspiring Divinusians:

I recommend that you read the opening post if you haven't already, and the Summary in the second OOC post. The summary goes up to page 13, so when you finish it you can continue by reading each post's summary from page 14 onward.
We also have a wiki that has some cool stuff that you can check out (link under FAQs).
With that out of the way, you can discuss your character ideas here - you can create a demigod (that's what most people tend to go for), but you are also welcome to create a hero or even a normal mortal - if that's your thing. (Though if you go for a mortal, be aware that a mortal's lifetime is very short and could be over quickly if there's a time skip.) If you want a demigod, it would be a good idea - during this OOC ideas phase - to see which god/s you would like to be his/her/its parents.
Once done, you may begin working on a Character Sheet and submit it here. You will generally get some feedback on the initial sheet here from both GMs and other players. Once all that is done, the GMs will retire to consider your character sheet and either accept or reject it.

@ActRaiserTheReturned As I say, I think the idea - as is the case with your ideas in general - is very interesting. But its gods are very different from Divinus gods.
For instance, you say

<Snipped quote>

while traditional Divinus gods have no need for worshippers and are neither strengthened nor weakened by having or not having them. That is unique to demigods. I mean, it could be the case that in that particular universe Fate and whoever was/were with it decided to somehow alter how gods function so they would be dependent on worshippers - but I'm not even sure if that's within their power to do.

I'm not opposed to creating a Divinus RP where the gods have disappeared and there are only demigods/heroes who are worshipped as though they were gods, or an RP falling into any other genre that is set in a Divinus universe but not centred on gods. However, it would have to be consistent with the basics of the Divinus multi-verse. Like gods not being dependent on worshippers. And gods, generally, being far more powerful than any mortal or demigod can hope to be. The interest check says:

<Snipped quote>

That is in complete confliction with traditional Divinus gods. No mortal, no matter how powerful or how much of an NPC they are, can match a god purely with sorcery.

Now, this debate has nothing to do with anything of significance - just whether that Divinus will be considered 'canon' insofar as this iteration and the previous two are concerned. If your intention is to create something that should be considered canon, then I suggest you make some changes so that it is more consistent with the basics of Divinus. If you just want to create something fun and standalone and unrelated to 'Canonical Divinus', or another strain of Divinus (a 'Revisionist Divinus' if you will xP) then I have no problem with that at all.

We will be more than happy to embrace it as a heresy and will persecute it mercilessly for many weeks, months, years, decades, and centuries to come! (I joke I joke xDD)


This is Divinus "Gaiden" Because it takes place on Earth. The rules of Gods work differently on Earth, because it's Earth, but it's in the same universe.

I was considering exploring the origins of some of the most powerful gods in Divinus Gaiden too.

@ActRaiserTheReturned Oh really? Like which gods? As this is Divinus Gaiden I assume we're talking about Earth's gods - like Ra and Akatosh.

No, I'm asking if I can say the Origin of Invictus and Fate, but I do have an idea for who started Divinus, a guy called ---------. (Forget I said anything. But you still don't need to know his name do you?)

Welcome to the club. Kho covered the introduction well enough. Just ask and most people here will be able to give you an answer if one of the three GMs (Kho, Cyclone and Myself) aren't able to (most of the times faster than us)

Virtually the only act a mortal is capable of that would truly anger him are meddling in necromancy and un-death which he sees as affronts to the natural order. Such magics can be used to avoid Death and therefore him far longer than any non-divine being should.


He already hates Vestec. Perfect!

@Obsidian

There's a ton of things you can do, as others have noted, but what we're most blatantly lacking is some God of elements.

Doesn't she find everyone and everything varying degrees of annoying? Besides, Vestec is going to go meddle with some of her things soon enough and make her dislike him intensely.
