Posting to signal interest

I'm interested but instead of creating a sheet on a premise that is possibly not appropriate to begin with, I'm going to list down my rough idea here:

Parents will be god of dreams and goddess of memories. Himself is the godling of sleep, comas and calm. He has a good relationship with them due to their powers syncing up nicely. His father is a hopeless dreamer and him, a no nonsense, near nihilist who wants to help.

Later on he gets in a fight with his dad-who supports the godlings dream idea- because he wants to end what he sees as meaningless fantasies. He also wants all the godlings to ditch the dream trap and lead a full on revolution. He goes on a rampage, putting both godlings/gods in comas while getting the few who followed him punished/ killed. He himself, is destroyed by his own father.

He lives on by his own dads guilt, bringing him back in his own dreams and sort of is dead alive by his own sleep based powers and his fathers. If being dead is too much, I did think of him having his eyes blinded, arms and legs sliced off and basically locked in a coffin as punishment by the other gods.

I'll create a sheet on your feedback.

I'm very rusty in character creation so this might be off/ edgy or out of place, so I'm just want to check to see if you think another character should be used instead.

[Themerlinhawk]

@ScreenAcneThis could be interesting but I think it may require a bit of tweaking. You'll have to wait on Wind Wild but i'll certainly make sure she takes a look at your stuff.

[Wind Wild]

Important

Something I need to point out to everyone (and sorry if it comes too late) is the way our characters came to life. One option is regular conception (god+another partner of any kind), another is for our characters to be the creations of just one god (think literal creation of a being) and a third is the character being picked by the god from one of the "others" (say, a chosen angel). You can go any way around it but keep in mind that if you choose to be the son/daughter of two gods it might create a bit of a problems along the lines of whose servant are you really, is it both and do you have to defeat both to become free.

Also I'm deleting the age section of the CS as I agree with Harrison's opinion that it doesn't actually matter.

P.S. The "D","C" and "H" in the table stand for Dream, Celestial and Human worlds. The dots are a simplified way of giving you an idea of what we are capable of in comparison to the gods.

P.P.S. I'm sorry that the graph with the worlds looks like a chubby woman with an afro. xP Please try to take it seriously. xD

@ScreenAcne Hey there,
don't worry about the CS to start with, if you're not entirely confident with the premise it's always best to ask first.

I don't mind your character being dead, that would be an interesting way to go about it and might eventually lead to a plotline where our characters try to bring him back to life by pulling him out of the dream.

The thing that is most problematic about your premise is the gods being supportive. This will go entirely against the premise of the RP so unfortunately you'll have to find a different way to execute your plan. Read the OOC carefully and try to come up with something else, for example one of the "other" supernatural creatures supporting your character or maybe even a human. Gods are the bad guys here and if there are any exceptions it will most certainly not be the parents of the PCs.

Another minor point is that the gods can't know about said resistance or they'll simply eradicate us (what we're plotting is a way of overthrowing them, usurping their power, becoming them and essentially erasing them).

If I can help with any pointers, let me know.

@Wind Wild

Hm, good points. I meant only his dad knows, being the god of dreams, he is supportive. Well, was. Maybe he gets perma-sleeped in his fight with my character. That way the rebellion is never revealed while also my guy can still do the whole dream life via god guilt shtick.

I'm going to lay out my intention here with the premise to begin with. Basically. In my head I thought that my character back story could back up the gods perspective. You know, the only godling that actually has a healthy relationship with his dad basically going ax crazy and perma-comatosing both godlings and gods would sway any of nicer deities into thinking the current system is needed and works.

I want to support the plot with my own characters back story if I can while also adding some intrigue. It's also a good way for the godlings to have drama because some people might of agreed with him but didn't go or are under punishment, so there's already some level of connection/ drama concerning the whole rebellion?

All the details can be ironed over. They seem easy to navigate but I want to communicate what I'm trying to do clearly so maybe we can organize something to maximize the idea along with any plots you got in your head for the future. If you want to abort it and for me to create something less involve, just say. I'm cool with taking a more laid back approach.

I think we should PM this so I don't spam up your board and possibly reveal anything..

[Wind Wild]

I haven't forgotten you, just need to concentrate before I can address your suggestion. Overall I like the plan but need to think about the execution.

[Wind Wild]

So here's what I'd suggest.
I like your idea but as mentioned before, I would like to keep the gods evil because the idea I have for the plot will be centred around the godlings and not the gods themselves. They are the antagonists for a reason.

However, that said, it's logical enough that there are plenty of godlings who are okay with the current state of affairs and I don't mind your character being one of them. It will be an interesting dynamic, and as you said, will provide some drama as well.

So if you're okay with it, just change the premise a bit to avoid the gods being supportive in any way. The best way in my opinion is to say he exists in another creature's dreams and not a god's. If you want to brainstorm about other alternatives, send me a PM.

[Themerlinhawk]

Okay we are all set with the character, I think it will take MR and Grin another day or two

@Monochromatic Rainbowlol. Nice

[Themerlinhawk]

@Roosan@Ambrosia@R0bE0@rush99999@MonkeyBusiness@A Friend@Phase Transit

Hey Y'all OOC is up. I'm just checking to make sure no one who was interested missed it. We still need players for this one.

[ScreenAcne]

@Themerlinhawk

Nice. I'm digging the theme of your character, it brings me back to my days in one of my older RP circles where I played the right hand hench man of someone. It was also short but to the point, which is something I always had a problem with myself.

It will be interesting to explore this guy relationship in RP, if my sheet is fine.

@Wind Wild

On topic of my sheet. Sorry I went silent. I think there is some miscommunication. So. I'm going to just make the sheet and send it to you, and if you say no I'll make a more "to the role" one later. I did actually make it two days ago but scrapped it because I'm edgy.

I'll try and send you it tonight.

[BayRat]

This has caught my interest. I'll work on the character sheet but first I'd like to pitch the idea for my godling first.

Kilgarrah, god of dragons, one of the many sons born from the god of monsters, typhon. He was born when the god severed one of his many own serpentine heads, and allowed it to slither on its own. Over the centuries, the serpent began to evolve under the watch of typhon, becoming more lizard-like, sprouting wings, and bathing in molten rock and fire. The first dragon, who was named by his own father, kilgarrah, was born from this serpent. Kilgarrah would foster his power under the training of the very god that created him, boasting to the other gods of his perfect child. Kilgarrah was granted position to enter the human world, and was ordered to procreate his race onto the world. Stealing the eggs of many snakes and lizards, kilgarrah breathed his power into these eggs, and thus the first natural dragons were born.

[Wind Wild]

@ScreenAcneOh please don't scrap your ideas, I'd much rather do some compromises than stand in the way of your creativity. As long as you're willing to make some for me as well, I don't think any of us need to be edgy - this is for fun after all and I can already tell our characters will have a shitload of "fun" interactions.

@dragonmancerThanks for the interest!
That sounds very cool, just keep in mind that the human world is the modern world we live in so.. there are no dragons. I think when people see "demigod" they think "power" but this isn't the premise of the RP. You're only powerful and free and independent in your dreams. If you can work with that (and keep in mind the idea is that we'll try to make our dreams become a reality and achieve real power) then you're very welcome on board.

[BayRat]

@Wind Wild

Alright, in that case I have to rethink the character a bit, ill come back to this eventually.

@dragonmancer

So my thought on the character is a Dragon Demi God would be dope. I think Wind's issue is that the Gods and all the fun mythical creatures are kept on the more secret side hence why myths are prolific but no one goes "Hey dave did you see that Minotaur flipping cars on the I-5 this morning?" So it would certainly be neat to see a Dragon Demi god and if his dad is Typhon that is cool too just bare in mind that Typhon is probably bitch smacking the character for fun every night. Also running around in the Mortal world in dragon form is probably not going to happen since the Gods keep their kids on a rather short leash. If you want some ideas take a look at Mikah in the character section. He only pulls out his Krakeny goodness in his dreams, occasionally in the celestial realm and sparingly in the mortal realm

[Wind Wild]

Just to add to that, supernatural creatures would exist about as often as they can be assumed to exist in the real world: just enough "witnesses" to make a few people believe they're real and with no real evidence.

Also my character is up at last. Let me know if you have any comments and if you want me to elaborate on the abilities.
There are a few sections that are WIP but I wanted to give you all who are struggling some food for thought.

[Wind Wild]

Okay everyone, ready or not I'm going to strive to start the IC within the next couple of days before I completely lose my inspiration for it. If anyone wants to join in and hasn't submitted a CS by then - don't fret, you can still join until things get really serious.

If I've lost all your guys' interests, please let me know and I'll just write it for myself.
