So you play a god, well only a god part time. In a modern world Gods are hard to come by so you're not really a god per say 100% you're an avatar of a pantheon that isn't culture specific. You can influence the town you live in for example a God of Fertility's town will have a lot of children per family, a patron saint of mimes will have a lot of clowns and mimes plus maybe a small circus in town, a Goddess of Love (love and lust a VERY different in this world) will have a low divorce rate, ect. You can hang out with "followers" though they're more like friends who like you and it depends on you if you actually care if they know you're a god (Hint: They shouldn't). This isn't a game where gods go pew pew at each other or the the world and it's far more social than that (and more subtle if you really want to go that route) it's more or less god avatars chillin' and dealing being partly mortal. If you want to scale towards being top god it'll take far more finesse than exploding every last god.

This is an interest check and if you're really into it PM me a character, I like initiative.

Note: Due to the fact this is a large group RP please post where you are and who you're interacting with.



Also make a relationship sheet when able to with other players.

Hey! Interested, but I've got a couple questions-

1. Are the gods in this universe born from god-parents or just plain ol' parents? And if they are "created", how does that work?
2. So the gods in this universe are partly mortal; does that mean that their lifespans just as long as an average human being's?
3. I know you said the gods are "avatars" of certain Pantheons, but can they be based off of a specific god/goddess from a specific culture? Or are they supposed to represent the pantheon as a whole?

Thanks!!!

1. Their bloodline is at least half divine in my head (though given that your family is mostly mortal the divine parent is more distant to you than your full parent). However they don't need to be from a certain culture's pantheon per say (ie a death god doesn't need to be descended from Hades or Baron Samedi)< You can also go the arbitrary route where you yourself don't know what happened.

2. Yes, gods can die like humans due to the fact that 1. Faith concerning them is small and 2. there's no recorded history of your god (a God in this universe can survive without worshippers as long as they're records of their existence, think about how humanity remembers long dead patheons through pop culture like video games referencing Hellenistic gods or comics referencing Norse pantheons, belief is far stronger than just wiping out believers besides, if your God is out there in some type of form of media some people might have KNOWLEDGE about your god or even convert)

3.They CAN be descended from a certain culture but it's not required as listed above you can be descended from a certain God or Goddess but it's not required. This is based off Part Time Gods not Scion which is where you have to play a descendant of a certain culture God. Mine is a mix.

Very welcome for your interest and I apologize for the delay, body needed sleep.

@Dark Light Sounds totally fun, yet full of tragic impacts in your turf. Increase in crime, unplanned pregnancies and drunk driving... yes you're going to have a lot of fake blood and ruined lives on your hands.

Again when you're picking pantheons. Think about what would impact society.

Now I need a god of opposites to balance out all the poor plebs.

Do we have to enjoy the things we govern?

@Dark LightTotally depends on YOUR character. My character who's a love, childbirth and art goddess LOVES being a matchmaker, likes motherhood but is haunted by losing all six of her children and HATES modern art (but loves old school art and such).
