The Odyssey

[ANYM]

@SporkoBug & @Dark Cloud

I'll not waste time on frills or aesthetics. The premise is simple. Gods go on a road trip in an RV that functions like a TARDIS, but instead of dematerializing and rematerializing, it drives places. Like, say, through space and time. Rules are also simple, and being adults who are capable of reading, I assume that I don't need to acquaint you with the ones employed on this site. Post length is also up to one's own discretion. So long as you have something of substance it can be as short or long as you like. Beyond that I'm looking to run this with a fairly small group of people, and I'd appreciate it if you let your fellow writers know when you are unable to make a post rather than vanishing outright. Finally, character sheets aren't necessarily required, but I've provided a template regardless just in case you want to make use of one.

Note: Not every god needs a domain. Some have many, yet are weak, and some have none but are powerful. Also, as for the nature and demeanor section of the sheet, it's basically your character's personality by another name. I've only labeled it that way in case anyone wants to use Vampire the Masquerade archetypes (such as myself). Lastly, no, I do not want to see faceclaims of real people. Art is fine however.

Anyway, that should be it unless I've forgotten something.

If you have space, I'm down

[Dark Cloud]

It's grumbo God of knowledge time

[ANYM]

>So far I have space, although assuming both Dark Cloud and Sporko do join (as they've expressed interest), I'll close this and work on the thread itself soon after. Four gods in an RV should be more than enough.

Wip

[Dark Cloud]

Can we have more than one domain?

[ANYM]

Can we have more than one domain?

@Dark Cloud

>Yes.

[Dark Cloud]

Hmmkay, I think I will use shadows but have it encompass three sub catagories: darkness, secrets and illusions

[Dark Cloud]

I would find it hilarious if someone played a God of light who was my characters sibling. Who just won't leave him the fuck alone. Like he is constantly bothered by the light. 😂

[Dark Cloud]

@SouffleGirl123 hoowah

>Alright, got my character done. Totally not copying the Dark Tower. Not at all.

Agthalan - King of the Dark Below

▬▬ Nature & Demeanor ▬▬

<sub>Nature
Mastermind: You are the brilliant, if underestimated, architect of destruction. Yes, you could achieve your goals through the most direct route, but such actions are for simpletons and animals. Instead, you enact complicated and lengthy plots to undo your enemies and accomplish your ends. There's nothing quite like a master plan coming together, and the shock on the faces of the fools around you when they realize your genius. You overcompensate for your own feelings of worthlessness, those inflicted upon you by others who could never understand your greatness. You'll show them all now, and they'll be forced to recognize your brilliance. You are moody, erratic, and given to overly elaborate methods of getting what you want. The simplest route is simply not your way.

Demeanor
Knave: With a sparkle in your eye, you cajole, encourage, tempt, trick, and manipulate others into exploring their darkest desires. You are the pusher, the perverter, taking the sweet and turning it into the sordid. You see yourself as a teacher of sorts – you teach people what base and feral creatures they really are. There's nothing you love more than to corrupt the innocent and do it with such panache that they never realize they've been compromised.</sub>

▬▬ Biography ▬▬

<sub>It is said in legend and in myth, that the King was never human, never one of us. Yet here he sits upon his fetid throne in the wretched approximation of one, perfectly lucid of our every wayward desire or passing whim. Here he sits amidst the ruins of a broken tower, leading us forever more into the darkness of strife everlasting...

At least that would have been the case, had he not decided to steal some poor fool's interdimensional recreational vehicle and go on an extended vacation.</sub>

▬▬ Domain/Abilities ▬▬

_{Discordia: Chaos, strife, destruction... discord. All of these are domains of the King, the foundation of his throne and the bedrock of his empire. Even that which you see before you is not his truest form, nor purest expression, if there ever was one to begin with. No, Agthalan is change incarnate. The ceaseless chaos of the void, that which surges hungrily to subsume the static shores of ordered creation. This allots him power many would consider unnatural, and rightfully so. For he can assume new forms at will, curse people with inhuman maladies and afflictions, warp the natural world on an unimaginable scale, create avatars to influence others from afar, and so much more. Even the order imposed by his great enemy, and the prison its existence maintained, could not stop him in the end.}

@Dark Cloud

Omgee I would love to play a god of light who doesn't leave you alone

[Dark Cloud]

@SouffleGirl123 or do whatever you'd like. I just assumed you would prolly make a character that's outgoing and social. Haha

[Chris488]

@Zyx
I have no intention of overwhelming you, but if you're willing to accept another player, then I would like to join as well.

[Dark Cloud]

But yes a grumpy God of darkness whose constantly annoyed by a deity of light is a funny concept.

[DX3214]

interesting concept space for one more? trying to diversify my games... heh never done modern days games...

@Chris488

>I can squeeze in one more, but I'm not going higher than five participants in total. The RV functions like a TARDIS, it is not bigger on the inside like one, so any more deities and we'll be quite cramped.

[Dark Cloud]

@Zyx aahhh whose to say we can't shove a few in the trunk. By the way does it look like a straight up traditional RV or what? Like what are we going to be traveling in what does it look like?

@DX3214

>That tag is there more for inclusion. I could have included any of the era or time tags in the check since we can just drive into the past if we like.

>We are playing gods after all. Physics? Logic? Lesser things for lesser beings.

>Also, sidenote, but I still need to figure out the actual plot. Like the base idea is eye-catching enough, but I've yet to even decide whether or not we should go to pre-existing universes or settings, so like fandom basically, or if we should stick with completely original locations. Or hell, if people want to dust off old RP worlds we could also go there. Regardless, I hope the uncertainty on that part doesn't dampen anyone's mood. I try to have at least an outline for things, but you can't plan for everything in a roleplay.
