The New Gods: Kings of the Multiverse

[rezay]

I'm into it so far. We can work out details on Discord if you use it, just track me down on the guild server.

@Dead Cruiser

Gotchya. If I run up into any major hiccups I'll look you up

[rezay]

Also worth pointing out is the sausage fest so far, aside from the one female. Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that, but getting more variety there would be more interesting.

[Dead Cruiser]

@rezay Sounds like it's time for Dragon Queen.

Anyway I was watching this and realized it's is more or less how I envision a New God in battle, just at a baseline.

[rezay]

@Dead Cruiser

That's actually an interesting idea, I might play around with that. Of course I'm going for a more Smaug-ish Mammon-ish figure which are traditionally thought of as male, but that could be fun to flip on its head. Biggest barrier to that is my experience playing female characters, which I haven't ever done except for NPCs in RPs I've run elsewhere. We'll see how that turns out

@Dead Cruiser

I see— I imagine this is how they settle something like disputes over ownership of conquered universes? Or maybe some sort of turf war in Heaven, I'm not sure. Again, very new to K6BD-esque things

[Dead Cruiser]

@rezay I'm imagining a genderbent Leto II honestly. God-Empress of the desert world.

@rezay

Oh they fight for lots of reasons. Remember, the precise nature of Royalty is a continuous cutting motion.

[rezay]

@Dead Cruiser I see

Sounds very cool! Can't wait until we get started

I don't know what the last part means, but I'm sure I will eventually. Speed-reading through the comic now

[Chris488]

If my character gets approved, it would be fun to work with others and find interesting goals that connect the cast together. I'm uncertain what overarching plot is, whether it revolves around our characters or not. I suppose only time will tell.

My username is the same as my Discord tag, and I'm not bothered at all by pings. Anyone wanting to chat and share ideas, please feel free to message me. I'm one of those fools that likes to partake in idle banter and talk about ideas and stories.

@rezay

I mean ANYM was going to be a they, but one I can't really go too eldritch for that to work and two it became tense hell to write out his sheet, so I dropped it.

[rezay]

@ZAVAZggg That's fine, there seem to be a couple other people who have yet to post their characters. I'm sure @Chris488 wasn't the only one who thought a female character would be interesting. Hell, there just being one woman might be just as interesting when all is said and done

*Not that it's a necessary consideration in the first place, it's the essence of the characters that really matter

[ethanjory]

Not really interested in being a god - let me know when you need lesser characters.

@ethanjory

GM did say there are other types of characters you can play if you PM him about it. Angels, demons and such. I'd suggest trying that

*Also, I should mention (I don't believe) they're what's usually thought of as a god. In the context of the RP/IP, they're more like demiurges which inherited aspects of the true god that created heaven, who committed suicide. They all have their own abilities and strengths and flaws, rather than some all-powerful entities. Probably badly put, but it might be more interesting than you think

[Dead Cruiser]

How are we coming with finishing character sheets?

[Dark Cloud]

@Dead Cruiser Working on tying up loose ends right now.

[rezay]

@Dead Cruiser Nearly finished, most likely sometime tonight

Orren Vos

Name

Sobriquets

Appearance

"Perfection takes time, and I have an eternity."

Aspect

Progress

The ever evolving concept of how things are achieved. It's the ever shifting possibility of the future and the discovery of new ideas or furthering the efficiency of technologies and sciences. He who holds dominion over such fields has the potential to shape the future.

World

Sol IV

Sol IV was the last planet to survive before the sun of Sol I died and in their desperation the people sought ways to prevent their worlds from dying through any means possible. Slowly their experimentation became less than ethical yet to the people ethics would not save them only scientific progress could possibly lead to their salvation. Yet not even their genius could prevent the end of their inevitable demise.

Race

Artificial Life Form

Within the machine hides the mind and soul of a living being, whom once callee himself human yet no longer does that term properly apply so he is simply just a soul and a mind within a machine body. After the man successfully transferred his very being into the shell he currently inhabits, the achievement unlocked the Key of Progression and shunted him from Sol IV.

Legacy

He Who Entered The Machine...

Orren Vos was a scientist who studied robotics and artificial intelligence, however his status amongst the scientific community was low and none of his research was highly regarded. It drove him mad and resolved his determination to perform a risky procedure on himself, resulting in his subsequent transformation into a machine.

With the success of his transition Orren Vos unknowingly gained the attention of an Old God by whose own aspect was Progress, yet the gaze was not of negative intent but conceit at the achievement of a mere mortal who ascended to a higher form of being, which was something that denoted a higher knowledge for such technological advancement by a human being. Orren Vos was overcome by an unseen force and his very being was somehow different and more powerful than before with the true name of a God stored in his mind...

Might

Power Of The Machine...

Orren Vos was a brilliant yet insane scientist when he was once the man he had been before his ascension beyond his mortal shell. He knows almost everything about technology and artificial intelligences, as well as the skills to make things no sane individual would even perceivably consider to create. He was an inventor and loves to make things with metal and wires, and eternally seeks to perfect himself and his inventions. And his newfound power over such things granted him the tools to achieve such desires, possibly exceeding the expectations entirely. Orren Vos soon discovered he could create metallurgical materials and shape them into the form he desired, and could even grant life to the machines he made. All artifice would answer his command without question for he was the master of the future. He was the apotheosis of Progress, and the future would bend to his will.

Path

The Future...

Orren Vos is on an ever eternal conquest to create the perfect empire from which he will rule over his creations, creating a society of steel and steam where all technology will flourish into fruition.

@Dead Cruiser Alright boss I'm finally done, so what do you think?

[Carbonatter]

How are we coming with finishing character sheets?

@Dead Cruiser

Close chief just fixing up what's left over

any idea when you'll make the OOC btw?

[Dark Cloud]

@Carbonatter@rezay@ZAVAZggg

Sup guys, maybe we should think how or if our characters know each other and if they do what are their relationships like. You guys agree? It also gives us something to discuss.
