@Frettzo That's amazing in the purest root of the word.
(If anyone makes Tolkien elves in this universe, or something too similar, I shall reach a state of permanent russlage of my jimmies)

Welcome. We're still accepting characters in the usual way, although only as demigods.

Consider: A degenerative disease of the sensory organs that causes the ears to enlarge and change shape, the eyes to expand, and the skin to lose its pigmentation. Other effects include a changing bone structure and muscle wastage, resulting in a tall, slender appearance, and weakening ability to show facial expression.
Sufferers are vulnerable to overstimulation and tend to congregate away from the noise of unaffected settlements, gravitating to dimly lit places such as forests and caves, speaking softly and treading lightly. These communities often develop a culture of their own, permeated by resigned isolation that is all too often mistaken for serenity and aloofness.
Affected communities have reduced fertility, and so are always in decline relative to their unaffected neighbours. However, the fetishisation of their 'youthful, beautiful' features and the fact that they continue to grow taller throughout their lives has resulted in a widespread myth that 'elves' do not age.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm glad that we have thus far (for the most part) not descended to straight out copying things from other fantasy worlds - particularly mainstream ones like Tolkien's. I hope we can keep it that way.
@IrishAngelQueen Well hello there and welcome back. Feel free to submit a CS if you're interested in joining again. Mind you, the current RP is VERY different from the last, so I suggest you familiarise yourself with the characters, opening post, Big Summary, and our wiki-in-progress.
Due to the unworkability of the current rule regarding players not being able to play more than one divine character (I for one am currently playing a god and two demigods, and at one point was playing two gods), and due also to expressions made OOCly and via PMs to me to the effect that some players will be making demigod characters in future, I am hereby revoking the rules regarding players with god characters not being able to create and play demigod characters.
If the system is abused, or if you do it badly/unconvincingly (demigods aren't Avatars), then I will intervene. And I will tear you to bits. And your demigod character. >:)
