[OOC] World of Dieties: Desnia

[TheLastRunaway]

You have been brought here because you are next in line for the immortal thrown. Your normal lives no longer exist, this is where you will be until you are ready. But there are no instructions... No guidance, you must do this on your own, or learn off the people around you. Some of you will know you are dieties, some of you will have no clue until you get here. This is your chance to become something greater than any adventure in your human-life. Make your own path, whether it be to save the worlds, or to destroy them.

Welcome young Dieties, to your new home.

The world is yours to enjoy, adventure. Connect with things you’ve never experienced before. Swim through the vast lagoons, get lost in the dense jungle. Learn how to be yourself, learn your own power, make your own destiny. But always stay cautious, this world isn’t only filled with beauty, but also terrors. Walk the wrong path, and you may be faced with death.

Images

When you've fallen through the brush and have made your long journey trying to figure out where in the world-- or what world you're now on. In the distance the largest tree that sits with a temple like structure sitting on a cliff like branch that over looks large masses of waters and parts of the forest. You spend a days journey trying to reach the trunk of the tree. When it becomes visible, a golden figure of a young women stands with her royal like hair blowing in the wind. She holds out her hand where a small envelope with your name appears. It’s a letter from your God/Goddess who has sent you here.

“You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.
You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand
Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God/Goddess
Your own.”

You haven't realized yet that you are no longer by the trunk of the tree, you are standing on a platform that looks over from the highest point, when you look around a large temple like structure stares you in the face. This is your new home, a place to begin, and a place you can always return to. Temple of Thea, the greek goddess of heavenly light.

RULES! READ!

Understand I am not a extremely strict GM, these are more like guidelines but also should be enforced as much as possible. You won't be penalized unless you are continuously doing things over a long period time with several warnings, but these are just to help you get a hang of how the RP works, and then you'll be able to tell how lenient it all really is. Main thing, just enjoy yourself.

1. Please try your best to be literate and grammatically correct, but you won’t be penalized for mess ups. We all do it.
2. Obvious rule: No god-modding, or metagaming, etc.
3. There is a minimum of two paragraphs, please be somewhat descriptive and make sure you give enough for others to interact off of.
4. Don’t spend too much time with one person, or alone. This is a group RP for a reason, we don’t want you breaking off in to single one on ones. (It’s fine if it is only two people talking for a while, but make sure to mingle when other people are online.)
5. DO NOT PLAN IN THE OOC meaning do not discuss future interactions or figure out who you will talk to next. One of the challenges about this Rp is that anything can happen and you have no control over it, if someone walks in to your conversation uninvited then so be it.
6. Be honorable, you must prove yourself to become higher ranked, or more powerful. You must go through SIGNIFIGANT events in order to become stronger, not small incidents.
7. When it comes to main plots, please pay close attention to who is building their plot and try not to run over them with your own. There will be only one main plot going at a time, to ensure that all characters are involved. You are free to create small sub plots to the side, or create tension for your own RP, but only ONE main plot at a time.

P.S I am part of this RP also! And I too want to enjoy the twists and surprises in the RP so please do not send me requests of plots you want to do. Simply go for it, but makes sure to read #7 again when it comes to plots.

Character Sheet:

Please! Have fun with your character, you don't have too many boundaries. If you want to have a human from a completely different universe then that's fine, your character is pretty limmitless, as long as you don't god-mod be as creative as you possibly want to be!

[TheLastRunaway]

Name: Evangeline
Nickname: Aveline
Age: 19
Birthday: June 12th
Origin: Can't remember
Deity: Deity of Complexity

Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: past her waist
Eye Color: Graphite
Skin Color: Pale
Height: 5'6
Body Build: Thin but has curves
Markings: sapphire crystal in between the eye brows

Demi-description: She is the deity of complexity. She collects all vivid thoughts and complex emotions that humans feel and try to translate on their own. She thinks of everything before answering a question and sometimes she is scrambled between multiple conclusions to one's simple comment or question. She usually looks lost, and results to staying quiet as she tried hard not to burst in to saying all her thoughts out loud because they create anxiety for others. To think so 'complex' as her. She sees both sides, and tried to decipher which would be the best road to take, but she makes mistakes as well. She isn't the goddess of perfection.

Background: She's listened to all of these thoughts since was immortal. She could hear thoughts from hundreds of years ago and everyday they fill her head. She gets to listen to people break down complicated theories or amazing Epiphanies each one has while growing up. It's all one amazing cluster of chaotic chemistry between love and hate. She sometimes finds it a curse when she begins to over analyze each person's words, remembering the exact same quotes from the thoughts in her head that its somewhat overwhelming she feels that no one is their self. Only creations of one another. She scared she'll never be thrilled again.

Personality: She keeps a simple personality, keeping most of her thoughts to herself and tries to give the easiest explanation. She doesn't like explaining who she is and what she does because even to her it all sounds like a complicated mess of a life, but she enjoys it. She is somewhat quiet but loves adventure, it is where she smiles most. Even though it is rare for her to be taught something new, she loves learning.

Powers: Telepathy, but she tries hard not to sue it when she is getting to know someone. She doesn't want to be able to read their emotions, or know what they are thinking. But she does use it in some situations when she only wants one person to know what she is thinking or wanting to say. Other powers unknown.

[ruronihs]

Name: Ayako
Nickname: none
Age: 346
Birthday: March 20
Origin: Legend says that foxes who live to a ripe old age attain sentience, wisdom, and power. The longer a fox lives, the more wisdom and power he obtains. Ayako was one such fox, a brilliant student among the wise old kitsune who taught him, and a leader among his peers. Having obtained his sixth tail, Ayako was whisked away to Desnia, where he will continue to walk along the path towards omniscience...

Deity: Deity of compassion.

Hair Color: White
Hair Style: Long, straight, flowing hair, down past his shoulders (different than the pick, but that was the closest I could find).
Eye Color: Bright blue (again, different than pic).
Skin Color: Mildly fair.
Height: 5'10''
Body Build: Lean, but strong
Markings: A crimson circular symbol on his forehead with lines that streak back behind his ears. Each of his six white tails has a crimson tip.

Demi-description: He is a deity of compassion, which is not to be confused with meekness or gullibility. He actively seeks to help others, resolve conflicts, and build friendships, and he has a calm and tranquil voice that is quite good at achieving this end. On principle, he will never deny someone who asks him for help, so long as the request is within his power and is not laced with ill-will or laziness. Likewise, on principle, he will never force his help on someone who outright refuses to accept his aid. With compassion, comes an undying loyalty to his friends and those cruel enough to make an enemy of him will find that this fox has quite a ferocious bite.

Background: Upon acquiring sentience, Ayako was quick to walk down the path of wisdom. Unlike many of his brethren, Ayako actively sought out wise masters to teach him the ways of the universe, and impressed them not just with his talent, but with his humility. He gained a reputation as an altruist, helping man and spirit alike. Some became jealous of his reputation and whereas Ayako acquired power through wisdom, there were those who sought to steal it through force. Ayako found a way to protect himself, though, and performed the unprecedented, absorbing the essence of his Hoshi no Tama, the orb that is the source of a kitsune's power. Upon doing so he acquired his sixth tail and vanished from the world, arriving in Desnia.

Personality: Ayako has a very agreeable personality, and sees the best side of people. He is always eager to share his wisdom and enjoys talking on virtually any subject. He is an inquisitive individual, particularly regarding people's personal beliefs, but he is not judgmental, even when he disagrees with people. He will often brush off personal insults, but will not stand for acts of cruelty or deception.

Powers: Through his acquisition of wisdom, Ayako has obtained an innate understanding of martial arts far beyond the physical capabilities of any mortal. He can alter his appearance and take the form of a massive white fox, though he primarily uses this form to intimidate enemies and avoid bloodshed. Finally, Ayako has mastery over foxfire, a wisp-like flame that can take a cool blue color and form any number of illusions, or a bright orange that can create a flame as hot as any forest fire.

Weapons: Ayako has a katana named Junkojuro that has been blessed by the ancient masters. Those who fall to this blade shall never go to hell so long as there is goodness in their hearts.

[InfernoBlaze]

Name: Blaze
Nickname: Dragon Son

Age: 22

Birthday: August 1st

Origin: Dragons are feared by many as the fiercest and strongest mythical creatures in existence. Their power can destroy even the sturdiest fortresses and their flames are rumored to burn anything, even souls. However, contrary to general belief, dragons are extremely wise creatures, with knowledge that goes as far as their ancient existence. Many of them are even capable of using magic. Blaze knows all these facts very well, being brought by dragons since infantry. Now he wanders around Desnia, along with his partner Paco, to fullfil the tasks his brethren has requested of him.

Deity: Deity of dragons.

Hair Color: White

Hair Style: As in the photo

Eye Color: Red

Skin Color: Normal

Height: 1,79

Body Build: Nicely toned muscles, but not bulky.

Markings: A dragon symbol scar engraved on the left side of his chest.

Demi-description: Blaze is a Dragon Deity, the protector of all dragons. He has acquired a dragon's strength and knowledge, along with their respect of nature and life. While he knows about the human civilization and their history, his lack of experience with them make him oblivious to simple facts such as food, their way of giving birth and even their behavior patterns. In spite of that, he can quickly adapt to every new thing he experiences through his calm-minded understanding. While having tremendous force, he avoids conflicts, knowing that using his powers rashly can cause destruction to both nature and any other living being. However he is always happy to lend a hand, knowing that sometime he might even need help himself.

Background: His mother dying at birth, a newborn baby was left in the darkest depths of a forest, because his fellow villagers were terrified by his flaming red eyes, labeling it as cursed. Cold, alone and without food or water, the baby started to cry. But, as time passed, the cry changed, turning in a wild roar that echoed through the end of the horizon. The spectacle that followed shocked the villagers. Hundreds of dragons flew above the village, and formed a circle above the location the baby was. As their flight turned into a dance, one dragon descended and, despite its tremendous force, picked the baby gently. Upon their contact, the baby's body received a dragon shaped scar. The dragons returned to their homeland and surrounded the now quiet infant and decided to bring it up as one of their own brethren. They named him Blaze, because of his red eyes and the dragons' own flames that burn through anything. Blaze grew up believing he was born with dragons learning from them speech, writing, cultures and knowledge and slowly acquired their strength, wisdom and even their flames. At some point he also found Paco, with whom he goes everywhere. At some point, his fellow kin sent him on a journey with 3 tasks: Learn about his true origins, awaken his latent powers and kill the Dark Dragon, Urumel. Now, with Paco, he wanders through Desnia to fullfil the tasks given to him and find out more about the world.

Personality: Blaze is usually quite cheerful and somewhat curious, being his first time out of the dragons' homeland. He is quite energetic and he always says what he is thinking, believing that being sincere is the best value anyone can have. Despite his appearance though, he is level headed and rarely displays rashness, patiently thinking of what should be done in any situation. However, he can be sarcastic at times and always looks for a chance to say a good one-liner to lighten the mood. He never displays fear, because he does not think that something can be scarier than a dragon, however he is not unaware of it, trying to help anyone to get rid of their own fears.

Powers: Blaze possesses the strength,speed,endurance and senses of a dragon. His raw power is enough to lift a house with little effort, while he can reach speeds that a normal human's eye is difficult to follow. He is also able to create dragon flames from his hands and use dragonbreath as well. If overcome with emotion, Blaze's dragon abilities give him dragon scales, claws, and fangs and boost his abilities, however, in this form he is uncontrollable and cannot distinguish friend or foe.

Weapons: None. He is a bare hand fighter.

(P.S: He is my first character in RP so if he is overpowered please tell me so I can fix it. Also if there is a problem with having a companion (Paco), I will correct that as well.)

Not the best image but whatever
Name: Lithos
Nickname: -
Age: somewhere around 500 in god terms, he kind of stopped counting a while ago. He looks around 30.
Birthday: 29th december
Origin: Greece
Deity: Strength, Courage and competition

Hair Color: Brown
Hair Style: Short and wild. He also has a trimmed beard.
Eye Color: Brown
Skin Color: Cuacasian. In the middle of pale and tan.
Height: 6 foot 2
Body Build: Muscular
Markings: A few scars here and there.

Demi-description: Lithos is the god of courage and competition. His spirit and legend rides strong within any competition or tournament, be it the olympics or just a casual game of children's football. He is also the god of courage and his tale has inspired many knights of valour and others alike to stand brave in battle or life. He never backs down from any fight and is practically always trying to have fun in any activity, be it war or sport. He is very sure of himself and can be a bit devious at times, thinking of short-term solutions to long term problems quite a lot. He hardly ever worries about anything and has never been caught planning ahead.

Background: Lithos was born a human in Greece. His father was a farmer and his mother was a housewife. His childhood was normal to a point. He usually displayed feats of strength as best as he could to his friends and siblings. This was only increased when the actual gods of Litho's religion revealed themselves to the world. They set challenges for the mortals of Greece to meet and defeat for the prize of becoming a god much alike the gods themselves. Of course, Lithos couldn't resist. It turns out his trait of 'short-term solutions' came in handy during the challenges. One of the challenges was cleaning the stables of immortal cattle. Lithos done this by diverting a river towards the barn and washing it out that way. The other challenges were met with brute force as expected and soon enough, Lithos had been made an honourary god at last. Well, a small one anyway. The other gods were a lot more powerful than him, but they did grant him the power of strength which was practically enough for him anyway.

Personality: Lithos is fun loving and reckless. There is nothing he'd rather do than drink and fight. He'd fight practically anything with or without a pulse although he does prefer when his enemy fights back. He likes to partner up with friends to go adventuring and dislikes being alone for too long. He is irrational at times, but can be serious when the time calls for it. He dislikes most academic activities and isn't the best at maths.

Powers: Strength enough to hold the universe up for more than a few minutes. He is more resiliant to damage than most but not by far.

Weapons: None

Will finish later

[Rafale]

Saw the interest check on Roleplayer Guild News, definitely caught my interest. Expect a character in an hour or so.

[TheLastRunaway]

Mr.Pink, you could just wait to post it. >.<

And alright Rafale! (:

[TheLastRunaway]

You guys, I just realized I spelled Deities wrong. -___________-

Dang, that's a shame.

[TheLastRunaway]

Maybe no one will notice....

[Mr_pink]

But then I forget what I was writing.

We are roleplaying,not forming a dictionary,so I think we can get away with that :-P

[TheLastRunaway]

xD So I am going to wait for a few more character sheets and then we can begin in the IC.

[Ebil Bunny]

Name: Innocentius
Nickname: Depends on how the RP goes ;)
Age: 94. Not as old as actual innocence is, he just replaced the previous Deity of Innocence when they... well... wasn't so innocent anymore.
Birthday: June 18th
Origin: Can't remember
Deity: Deity of Innocence

Hair Color: Silver blonde
Hair Style: Eye length and kind of messy
Eye Color: Bright blue
Skin Color: Cream
Height: 5''
Body Build: Small and lean, but not weak.
Markings: He has a gold star on his left cheek.

Demi-description: Everybody sees evil in this world, right? Things happening in other countries that make one feel teary inside. Actually, that is incorrect. The new born child knows nothing. He can only see the happiness that his parents show him. Since that's what he sees, that's what he shows. This is what is known as "innocence". Innocence is happy, innocence is peaceful, innocence is pure.

Background: Joshua can't remember much of his past. It might have been terrible, it might have been wonderful. As soon as he became a Deity, his memory was almost completely wiped.
He might most definitely remember it later on, and it's going to be be wonderful/horrifying

Personality: Carefree, happy, a curious. Those are his three easiest to spot characteristics. Of course, he isn't always happy, and sometimes he gets pretty serious, but he is usually very child-like.

Powers: Unkown

Weapons: None

[TheLastRunaway]

Glad to have you, bunny. (:

[Rafale]

Tell me if there are any problems and I'll fix them in due time.

Character

Name: Endless

Nickname: Alicia (preferred name)

Age: 20

Birthday: October 15th

Origin: For all of its existence, humans have longed to fly, to conquer the skies above them and freely wander its blue expanses, like the birds who had long mastered the art of travelling through the air. Many dedicated their lives, and sometimes sacrificed them, in this pursuit, though humanity found little success in their quest to grasp at the skies until October 15th, 1783, when the two French Montgolfier brothers managed to make physics teacher fly in a tethered hot-air balloon, and even before that, humans had managed to fly for at least a few yards using primitive gliders.
Throughout the next few centuries, humankind quickly began to master the skies; going from small balloons to fearsome metal beasts in nary three centuries. It was no coincidence that a girl was born twenty years ago, on the day that decades ago, man first took to the sky, a girl who belonged to no parents but had a name that evoked the sky itself; 'Endless', though she prefers to call herself Alicia, as Endless isn't a very pretty sounding name.

Deity: Deity of Flight

Hair Color: Black

Hair Style: Shoulder length.

Eye Color: Blue

Skin Color: Palish white

Height: 1m63

Body Build: Slim, rather lacking in womanly features (though definitely not of boyish figure), not very muscular but not at all fat.

Markings: Bizarre, straight scars between her shoulder blades, almost parallel to one another.

Demi-description: Alicia is a deity of flight, both of birds and other animals and of humankind. While physically not particularly special, she has no fear of heights, drops and a fall from a high altitude has little to no effect on her. However, she lacks the ability to fly herself, for some bizarre, ironic reason. She can run very fast, however, causing her to remark that perhaps it's a power that originally evoked how a plane takes off, by going from a standstill and picking up swift speed.
Alicia is also very agile, in the air and on the ground, with the human art of parkour an easy feat for her.

Background: Endless spent most of her childhood in a foster family's care, having been born to parents who could never be found through biological tracing. From an extremely early age, she took an almost instinctive interest in flight and after long periods of begging, her eventual adoptive father signed her up for her first flight lessons. By the end of the first lesson, it was clear she was a natural and it was barely a month later that she was doing her first flight. Naturally, after finishing school, she signed up for her country's air force, where her skills were once again evident. All was smooth sailing until her first combat deployment when a faulty engine sent her plane stalling and plummeting to the ground, almost just above the airfield where she took off. To all observers, it seemed definite from the angle of the plane when she crashed that her life was lost.

Amazingly to the contrary, she survived with barely a scratch on her body. Her comrades suggested she go on medical leave, but at her own insistence she was back in the air in a few weeks. After this event, she remained cheerful and she continued flying for a good year until her plane was forced to shake hands with a surface-to-air missile. When she crashed, her body was found to be fine, but she didn't wake up this time.

Or did she?

When she awoke from a deep slumber, Alicia found herself in a new, fantasy-esque land and with no explanation to prove what this place really was, she was left only to wander...

Personality: Alicia is very pensive, but at the same time quite talkative and in general is very optimistic and cheerful. However, she is somewhat guarded with new people, due to her relatively rough childhood. Along with this general friction towards strangers, she can be slightly hesitant and a bit clumsy at times. She has a strong animus to succeed in most situations and is very determined when it comes to reaching what is most important to her; the brilliant azure skies.
Occasionally, she attempts to use complicate expressions and complex expressions in order to make herself look somewhat smarter, but this usually backfires on her.

Powers:
-High agility, both in the air and on the ground.
-Fearlessness of heights, drops and falls.
-Invulnerability to falling, even from extremely high altitudes and at high speeds.
-Very, very fast runner (move over Usain Bolt!)

Weapons: None, at the moment, she relies on her powerful kicks and punches...

[Lilacs]

I'll post a character when I get out of school :)

Is there a limit on how many powers or deity of what you can be?
Did that even make sense?
