[OOC] Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

[chukklehed]

Haven't you ever heard the term "Don't feed the troll"? Just ignore it and let Vita contact a mod.

[ghastlyInc]

I heard my character mentioned.

whas goin on?

@Zetsuko

Mostly jokes about implied gay shipping between him and Gillian.

[harinezumikouken]

Hm. This is all good to know.

[Zetsuko]

Ahn, okay

[VitaVitaAR]

Ignore the spam post in the IC.

Anyway, if anyone has lore questions or something feel free to ask.

[Zetsuko]

@VitaVitaAR I have a question.

Is it a big deal when a demon appears or can they slip into the world unnoticed?

[VitaVitaAR]

Actually, they're all already present in the world, as demons are spirits that descended to the world too early.

Though they do have their own realm, it's created by them and is not a separate plane of existence.

[Zetsuko]

oh okay, I get it

that second part though, you mean they each have their own pocket realm or is there one big realm all the demons go into and there's like a tavern there with some really weird things going on in the back room?

[VitaVitaAR]

Some of them are separate, there's probably a "main" one though.

[IceHeart]

Basically, attitudes towards homosexual and bisexual people are very, very accepting due to details such as Reon and Mayon being lovers.

In fact, certain higher positions in the clergy are expected to be lovers regardless of gender.

@VitaVitaAR

...Sorry but the Goddesses are lovers? I just assumed they were sisters or something. You know I must say I probably would not have joined this roleplay had that little tidbit been mentioned beforehand. Sorry if I'm a bit of a downer but that really makes me uncomfortable, I don't want to drop but...ya know its one thing when people decide to be one way or the other but in a religious context its quite, well opposite of my personal/religious beliefs. I know its just a story but I would seriously be more comfortable if that little bit could be changed.

[chukklehed]

It's not fair to force your discomfort on everyone else. Nobody is asking you to worship these goddesses, and not everybody has to conform to your religious comfort zone.

@IceHeart

... you're going to drop a roleplay over taking a background detail with utmost seriousness? That's... impressive.

@chukklehed

The problem comes with the fact that I made a character that is a devout believer in the Goddess Mayon, and now I've learned something that I did not know before, but obviously my character, as she was made, would know. If I was never enlightened to this fact I would probably be quite fine with continuing the roleplay but now that I know...sad to say it will be really hard to put my heart into my character which is really too bad as I seriously enjoyed both my character and the roleplay.

Sad to say but yes, in all honesty I will drop. I don't want to but like I said, if I known before hand I would not have joined this role play in the first place. My sincere apologies to everyone and especially to you Vita as I really was excited to develop the roleplay more with everyone but I cannot do so any longer. Sorry but, this will most likely be farewell...man this really bites, sorry everyone, this was something I certainly did not see coming and hope you can forgive me.

Well best of luck to everyone who stays, I hope it becomes a wonderful story, sadly the Silvern Family will no longer be a big part of it. Best wishes to all.

@IceHeart

You could just edit the character.

[ghastlyInc]

Yeah, iirc there are also other religions present in Thaln arent there?
Not like you have to drop the theme completely here.

[Rin]

Welp, angry right now I guess, so here's a silly gif in lieu of me actually responding.

[IceHeart]

Also even if I changed my character, I just don't feel like it and it would drastically change the character. As for the religion part, I know that everything is a fictional religion but its a main religion in this world and I'm not comfortable with having gods, figures mortals are suppose to look up too, being that way in fiction or in real life. Humans can choose whatever they want, we were made that way but gods takes it too far for me.

Anyway, I really am deeply sorry, especially since I was really invested in this roleplay but when it comes to Religion I have some really strong beliefs so ya...meh this is gonna leave a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry, but I hope you all understand.

[Themerlinhawk]

Can i ask something before Iceheart dips?

[Zetsuko]

Can i ask something before Iceheart dips?

@Themerlinhawk

you already did just now.

[Themerlinhawk]

@IceHeartOkay that was rhetorical. So basically my understanding is that the church doesnt have a specific doctrine and that it actually varies across the whole of the world. I would assume it would be simple enough for it to vary within Thaln? that seems like a really specific detail which could very easily vary

hell the religious doctrine in the world right now varies enough as is
