My meme machine made the spontaneous decision to ram seven feet worth of Swiss halberd up its, uh, disk drive. I'm currently putting it through suicide counselling and have sent its five children to live with their great aunt far away from any central European polearms, but it looks like recovery's going to be, in the doctor's words, a massive bitch.
So don't expect too much from me for a few days yo.
Don't practice historical european polearm techniques in the same room as your computer.
FUCK OFF MUM I'M TWELVE NOW I DO WHAT I WANT
Anyway all my stuff was already safe since Windows 10, despite the many flaws I had to shell out $150 for, somehow does know how to reinstall itself without laying waste to my meme vaults. I do gotta do that, though.
Other than that, things seem to be clearing up faster than expected. Damn tech giants and their constant data harvesting, I love it.
Did you feed it enough memes? Meme machines die without them.
And, with various nuisances out of the way, I should now hopefully be able to do more than haunt the thread.
In other news, after some sparse edits Osveril (who remained back here, for ease of access) should be ready to withstand the praise or censure of @Kho, @Rtron or @Cyclone, as I understand it goes.
No doubt some of noticed me stalking this Roleplay (,as I've noticed some counter-stalking operations,) and I would like to announce an announcement announcing my desire to join this Roleplay. I have trudged my way on through the IC section, relying mostly on summaries I do not have that much free time I assure you, and as this idea is something I have thought before would be fun, and now see this as an exemplar case of such a roleplay. In addition considering my greatly increasing availability of time in the coming months for relatively obvious reasons, I believe now would be an opportune moment to do so.
I am aware of the wiki, and have read through the OP and subsequent post a few times but I will not claim thorough knowledge until I fully prepare with a completed CS. Presuming, if I may, to follow the subsequent protocol and post my idea for a demigod.
My idea would be a demigod of the domain of motion and the portfolio of animation, taking a non-hominid form, and with the parentage of Teknall and Zephyrion if @Cyclone and @BBeast are amenable to it.

I recognize you. Do I know you? That hat looks familiar.

The hat is a Naval Commodore's cap. You must have just seen me around. Although you do seem familiar () it must be someone else because the person I know always has a different name and yours just seems to be consistent in all measures. :P
I mean its not like we could be in another Roleplay together named an archaic name for a certain set of isles or anything.

Hello there. Welcome.
We can consider the specifics of the parentage as you flesh out the character. Zephyrion's in a bit of an interesting situation at present, although that might be just the catalyst needed to form a demigod. If we can work out a decent plan, then that would be an agreeable arrangement.
One question @Kho likes to ask is this: How might your character get involved in a story arc?
I've spoken with Commodore about his joining and can vouch for how he has already figured out a basic story arc. I'll let him go into detail on that if he likes.
@Commodore Now we're reaching that point where the character sheet is necessary to progress much further. But until then, since BBeast is receptive to your idea for a creation story then by all means feel free to fill him in with what information we talked over on Discord.

Hmm, maybe? My memory is a bit fuzzy when in relation too past RP'S. Maybe a title would jog my old memory.

I will answer to forestall the need to answer for Kho answer such a question.
According to some notes I have worked out before, assuming as a likely case of being created in or at least somewhat near the Celestial citadel, the demigod would attempt to learn more about what surrounds her, the world and the things it speaking likely to the parents is they can remain but also any others who will to speak with the newborn demigod. This then hopefully can create at least some initial interpersonal relations as well as gain some idea of the world, which may lead onto the next idea point.
Following this the demigod's curiosity, and possibly boredom, is piqued causing said Demigod to go out and learn of the world their-self, following the idea of the notes the demigod would then interact with a variety of creations in the local area presuming the above celestial citadel origin point, resulting in meetings and further connections with Vetruvians, Djinni, or other groups and people in the area, hopefully getting involved with one of the on-going story lines.
Following this assuming a worse case were the demigod fails to catch a story line they will at least hopefully learned enough to reasonably go in a multitude of directions and engage in another story line there.
Sorry for the little blocks here but just quickly translating from some rather sparse notes.

The CS should be ready for appraisal either in a hour or two, or sooner, or not until next waking period.

Hmm, was it Hibernia? No I think that was a different island it was named after...

No, that doesn't ring a bell either. Gosh this is quite embarrassing. Bah, let's come off it, I'll get to know you now! Welcome to Divinus! Land of "I Don't Have A Witty Title Ready!"

@Commodore Welcome. You will find that Eskandars are particularly good hatters. They will be fascinated by this new hat you have introduced to the Diviniverse. It speaks volumes about the culture, background, religious beliefs, ideology, political stance, geographical location, favourite foods, preferred weather, marital status, and many other things, of the wearer.
No your not. You don't want to know me, because to know me, you must look into my eyes, and in my eyes you will find yourself, and you fear yourself the most.
@Kho Thank you. I have a tentative draft of my demigod to present, mostly because I have reached the point in my revisions that I simply stare at the screen for half an hour before deciding not to change that one line there.
Name: Jydshi
Aliases: The Animator, Mover of False Men
Gender: Female
Domain (Portfolio): Motion (Animation)
Domain (Portfolio) Description: The Domain of Motion, at the center of the matter, is movement, it is the process of changing position. That is what is important to those in this Domain, the process itself and its resultants. All throughout creation things move and are moved, consistently or not, small or large, they move. Motion is something indomitably needed and used, governing every practical interaction between anything and everything. Motion is the action accomplished in almost every interaction, it defines action.
The Portfolio of Animation involves the giving of this necessary motion to objects and formations, to imbue them not only with a change in position, a movement, a motion, but to give those objects and formations the ability of motion, giving them the opportunity to move.
Alignment: Neutral Indifferent, Jydshi does not see the need for betterment or exploitation of mortals, not to say that she would enlist them in either cause if it allowed her to continue to live her life as she desires. As well Jydshi does not see necessary order in movement, nor chaos, it is both. It is an ordered chaos, an action that follows general rules, and breaks them when necessary to move, to keep motion happening.
Personality: Jydshi can come across as apathetic or impassioned depending upon where and when one stumbles upon her. While on the matter of people she has little opinion, and will sometimes join sides by whoever is loudest in arguments and other frivolities, but when it comes to motion or making movement, there are none more joyous than Jydshi in support. Jydshi often acts from sudden impulses making her seem at times quite playful, and others brutal. She focuses on motion more than concepts of order and chaos or good and evil, although since her creation as a physical creature of the world she does have a grasp of these ideas even if they are not primary motivators in her behavior towards others.
Appearance: Jydshi in her preferred and only current form takes the appearance of a massive millipede, a terrifying sight for some. Her coloration slowly changes over time, her emotions and environment might play a role in this but the change is rather slow and sometimes seemingly random. Her mouth sports a usual pincer arrangement although a little more complex and toughened than a scaled-up millipede would be, her back plates are rather tough and hard following this trend.
Jydshi has antennae like those of millipedes although her head is more forward facing than a millipede’s in general. As well her eyes are in appearance not that different from that of a millipede, even going as far to have special bristles on some front legs for eye cleaning purposes. In terms of legs and the body, Jydshi has hundreds of legs, several per each of her segmented body pieces. As well she has a few fine manipulator arms, tucked away in the frontal undercarriage. Not counting the legs, she is around a third meter high, half a meter wide and five meters long, keeping around the same proportions as the smaller insect creatures she looks like.
Her appearance can be disturbing for some which her rather polite manner, and often boredom with things not involving motion as a general statement can sometimes help that, or not help at all.
Musical Theme:
Description: Jydshi, impassioned about motion and focused upon it, she desires to expand both motion and generally gravitates towards ideas more associated with such. While not always paying attention to others when perhaps she should, Jydshi does not mean to be rude and when she remembers she attempts to be polite, not that that always works out. Jydshi can at times be one of the most joyous, happy and excited beings to be around, and at others one of the most aggravating.
) it must be someone else because the person I know always has a different name and yours just seems to be consistent in all measures. :P
