Godfall - The Emergence(Always open, don't be shy!)

[Lord Zee]

The Lock

You Fell.
So long ago.
For a crime you may or may not have committed..
How sad.
The Human's Earth was yours once, or was it?
I can't really remember.
You were a God once, but steadily weren't.
Living among them has probably changed you. For better or for worse. If it hasn't, he'll be disappointed.
But I won't care.
I shouldn't be doing this, but it'll be oh so fun!
Come now ye Gods, welcome your old friends!
What was lost is now given back anew!
Your powers return!
And so do you!

General Overview

Hello and welcome to Godfall! A new world is about to begin and all sorts of fun is to be had. If you haven't read the full lore(which I encourage), I will summarize whats going on. You were a God once, with an aspect instilled into you upon your creation. You lived in the Heavens for Eons, or maybe even the Earth and everything was in balance until the Sun and Moon created Humanity, then went to sleep. Some Gods abused these new found creatures, maybe even ate them and this chaos resulted in an unbalance of the mundane world(Earth), and as a result, Death wasn't happy, so like an angry parent he grounded the gods on Earth and locked Heaven up. Eventually all of their powers left them and they were forced to live a cursed life. You could never die by humans means, and if you somehow did get into a serious accident, you always woke up perfectly fine. Now in the present time, a spirit decided to play a prank on death and turned the key halfway, allowing the gods powers to come back. Now, through word of ear, everyone knows about the spirit and you are in a race to find him, or Death. Maybe to get some answers or revenge? Only you know.

Information

Laws of the Worlds

1. There are three main dimensions: The Heavens, The Earth and The Underworld.

2. All gods have three powers of their own, plus a weapon of some kind that can be stolen and used by other Gods/Demi-Gods.

3. The rulers of the Heavens were the Sun and Moon. They had several children with one another and those children would go on to be greater deities in their own right.

Background Lore

Long before humans crept into the light of the sun, or slept in the shadow of the moon, above the Earth sat the Heavens. It was a myriad of regions, realms, and kingdoms that expanded as far as the divine eye willed. Each God and Goddess had an aspect that they held dominion over, given at the moment of their creation and tasked with interpreting until the end of all things. The Sun and Moon ruled the Heaven's from their thrones far above, and from this union came children, the greater aspects of the Heavens. For untold time, the denizens of this place lived in relative balance with one another, upholding the primordial laws and keeping any conflict with one another, isolated. Then one day, everything changed.

You see, during the time before humans, the Earth was a place full of potential. Nature Deities had worked wonders in many ways, changing the landscape to fit the needs of the fauna but it was, as many Gods put, mundane. The Sun and Moon's greatest creation yet, was overshadowed by the Heaven's boundless energy. Centuries of habitation by the Gods had leaked their divine essences into the very foundations, and there was no need to go to Earth. That was until humanity arrived. The Sun and Moon were enamored with Earth, and not wanting to waste such a home, the created humanity. They realized the one great mistake of the gods, they were bound to their aspects and lived forever to uphold them. So they gave humans a bit of the dark, and a bit of the light with no restraints but one. They lived a natural existence, a mortal one like the world they now lived in. This effort, almost killed them, so they withdrew into a hibernation, one in which they still remain. With the Sun and Moon gone, and humanity living, growing, and dying, it attracted the attention of the Gods.

Many did not care about them, many were infatuated with them, and many hated them. For the next several centuries, humanity would live in a world of chaos, something that the Sun and Moon could not have anticipated. Most Gods treated humanity as toys. Most were enslaved for a variety of reasons, or just outright eaten. They multiplied so quickly that there always seemed to be an endless supply. But this chaos was destroying the balance of the mundane world, and worse, it upset Death. Unbeknownst to the Gods, Death had fallen in Love with Humanity for reasons they could not comprehend. So he wrought a lock made of the bones of innocents, and placed it on the Gates of the Heavens. In an instant, the Gods were cast out. There was confusion, infighting and suffering and for years most looked for Death himself but he could never be found. As time when on for the Gods, their powers began to dwindle slowly. From school books, the past can tell us what some of them did throughout history. Forming pantheons, religions, great epics and powerful names come to mind, before their power became nothing and they were given a cursed life. They could not die by humans means, and lived eternally, one of the only lasting effects of Godhood. But not all hope was lost for them.

The year is now 2018, and the Gods are myths, but they still walk among humanity doing who knows what. However, something was about to happen that would change the course of the world forever. A mischievous spirit named Hallow thought to pull a prank on Death himself, so he nicked the key to the Heavens, leaving a rather funny note in its place. Hallow traveled to the Heaven's gate full of laughter, and turned the lock halfway. Death became instantly aware of the theft at that moment, for energy from Heaven began to flow outwards once again, flooding to the ones it had not seen in ages, the Gods. Now Hallow could not contain his excitement and began telling spirits of all varieties of his prank on death. Word quickly spread, and the race was on to find the key, or Death or anything for that matter. The world would change, and all because a spirit wanted to play a prank.

Sweet!

[Lord Zee]

Hey @Eyeris! How's it been?

[jynmi88]

Interesting.

[mercenarius]

interested!

[Lord Zee]

@jynmi88@mercenarius Awesome!

[Eyeris]

Hey @Eyeris! How's it been?

@Lord Zee

Been busy, wrapping up one crazy year and jumping into another. How are you?

[Eyeris]

What is a pantheon without a messenger?!?!

Name: Iratze

Also known as: The Swift Messenger, the Rainbow Traveler, The Neutral Nimbus

Age: Very Very old, typically takes on a human form that appears between 18-22.

God Aspect: Communication

Personality: Iratze is first of all, carefree. She is easygoing. Among others she is a gentle breeze that can gracefully make it's way through any nook or cranny, other people find her pleasant and refreshing, but she tends to 'breeze-by' escaping attention or becoming more of a backdrop to stronger more grounded personalities. She likes to observe, watch, experience. She will wait to intervene and create the perfect moment, or will intervene when asked to... She is complaint and complimentary to the needs and wishes of others. That is the classic role of the messenger; carrying on the voices of others and asserting her own very seldom. She of course enjoys travel, bright colors, variety. She is indulgent in sensory experiences easily getting carried away, drunk on the energy of a space or a crowd. She has taken a liking to humans, and in her time trapped on earth has sought the spectrum of mortal experiences, in seeking the full spectrum she can be seen as careless, yet, she feels comfortable treading in the grey area, or crossing back and forth between 'light' and 'dark' places in the world, perhaps because this is indeed what she was created to do.

Parents: She was not born, but rather was created. Legend has it that she was constructed by the Sun and the Moon during a period of marital strife. Created by both yet loyal to neither. She was given the ability to pass between the worlds and carry messages between them until they were able to resolve their differences. They found her quite useful and continued to utilize her as a messenger between themselves, their children, and all the other gods.

Sexuality: Bisexual, Pansexual, everyone-sexual. Iratze travels everywhere ^_~.

Form on Earth:
This picture gives you a 'feel' for her. She always changes her hair color and style, but it is always big and bright and colorful, she has dark skin, and sort of a boho-hippy-hipster-hip-hop style of dress.

True Form:

Powers:

-Flight: To aid her in delivering her messages quickly and efficiently!

-Tongues: To aid her in delivering messages for anyone she has the gift of tongues, she can understand and speak many languages. The language of the sun and the moon, and any language created by their creations (mortals).

-Sense of Direction: She has an excellent internal map. She has an internal compass, and a knack for finding almost anyone she might need to carry a message to.

-LOST POWER: Once she had the power to travel between the three worlds. In addition to carrying herself across the borders, she could carry things across (letters, gifts, objects), and people across with her. This is not something everyone could do which is what made her so useful in her role as a messenger god. After the fall she lost these powers and was bound to earth with the rest.

Weapon: A pen! For the pen is mightier than the sword!--
To keep their messages discrete, the Sun and the Moon gifted her with a magic pen. When writing with the pen, the message can only be read by the intended recipient (One must hold the pen and speak their name aloud before they begin to write).

History: Constructed by the Sun and the Moon to carry messages between the deities, the first chapter of her life was all this. She traveled between the three worlds mostly at the request of any god or goddess, but some times for fun. Some liked her, others did not, but it did not matter much. She was a very minor deity who remained neutral in all things.

History: She had a small identity crisis. Not being able to travel between the worlds and being shut out by the god of the underworld was certainly a shock for her. However, she was very comfortable on earth having been there many times before. She has been spending her earth bound years keeping a low profile, mingling with mortals, playing tricks on them, befriending them, and reinventing her look to fit whatever culture she is currently traveling through at the time.

Motive: Surprised to find her powers restored she would seek the other gods, Death,
and perhaps a means to cross the worlds again... Mostly in quest for information and answers, that she can then deliver to the other lost deities.

@Eyeris I'm good. 2017 was a whirlwind and 2018 will probably shape up to be even more hectic haha. Taking it slow for now.

Tis Good to see Iratze again!

[Lord Zee]

Here we are.

Tentative interest. Have to get some ideas together before I can say anything.

[Lord Zee]
