[OOC] Seats of Power

[Lucian]

Reservations are closed for now.

Creation

In the beginning, there was only the Overgod, and the Void. The Void was populated with the Overgod's thoughts and feelings. They were wistful, appearing and then disappearing. Time was simultaneous. All was well, until one of these thoughts, who would later take the name Melkaia, discovered itself. In so doing, it shattered time, causing a rearranging of all things. The universe exploded into existence, and Melkaia was separated from the Overgod and The Void, only able to traverse this new universe. The Overgod, who was outside of this new universe, was powerless to effect or change anything within, and could only watch, uncomprehending, as Melkaia blundered about in his youthful self-awareness. Melkaia first named itself.

Then, with a name, it wandered the universe, in search of life. Eventually, it came across a planet that seemed to be thriving. It gushed forth new life, which had the potential to change and evolve. Melkaia watched with great interest as the intelligence and complexity of the life forms on the planet increased to grow. Melkaia could not, however, communicate with them. He tried once, and the great boom of his voice nearly destroyed the planet. So, it decided to create a new race, who would be guides and leaders for these lesser races on the planet. Melkaia molded these new Gods to be as varied and evolving as the races below, and slung them to the planet. However, in it's inexperience, Melkaia accidentally put forth too much of itself into it's new creations. As these new Gods seeded the earth like so many falling stars, Melkaia breathed it's last, and died.

The new Gods, unaware of their origin, but acutely aware of their superiority, took charge over their various aspects and peoples. Some took to the forests, others to the seas and deserts, and others to the mountains. Some subjugated lesser races, while others guided them to prosperity, or defended them from harm. Gradually, the Gods began to found nations, and their peoples began to build cities. The world as it is now, began to come into it's own. Now, six hundred years since the Gods fell to the world, it remains to be seen whether Melkaia's work was a gift to the lesser races, or a curse.

The World

If somebody knows a good map generator, I would be in your debt. For now, I'll have to describe it as having eight continents of varying sizes, four oceans, and varying temperatures, ecosystems, and climates. I'll go into details a bit later.

God Template

Name:

Title(s):

Seat of Power: Your God's HQ, so to speak. Can be anything from a shrine to a castle. Images welcome, but not required.

Divine Aspects: Such as War, Nature, Wealth, etc. These are a result of your God's actions through time, and do not necessarily reflect ability. Choose three.

Appearance: May have up to three forms. Keep in mind that Gods are entirely physical, so there will be no ethereal forms or anything like that. Pictures are fine, but try to steer clear of too much anime. Will make some exceptions. Choose three forms.

Artifacts: Items that your God possesses which have divine worth/abilities, whether they had it upon their arrival, or have created them since, is up to you. Choose three. Can obtain more throughout the RP.

Unique abilities: Powers that set you apart from other Gods. Every God has them. Choose two for now. More can manifest during the RP.

Personal History: What has your God been doing since they were created? Keep in mind that they were made with inborn knowledge of things, but not of their own origins

Personality:

Other: Anything you'd like to note, which I left out.

General info

-Gods, as mentioned above, have no knowledge of their creation, but they have an inborn knowledge of many things, usually relating to their divine aspects.

-Though they can change their physical appearances, Gods will always have a physical body. The topic of the soul is as much speculation for the gods as it is for mortals. Nobody knows what becomes of a God upon death.

-Most Gods will know of at least a few others by now. Many will actually list others as allies or enemies. Remember, it's been six hundred years. I'd love to see some fleshed-out pre-history develop between your nations and Deities before we start.

-All Gods have a universal superiority over mortal races. They are all vastly physically superior to any mortal creature, though strength varies between Gods. They will not die of age, and indeed only age visually if they choose. They are tougher by leaps and bounds than most mortal creatures, and can withstand extreme amounts of punishment, though this too varies between Gods.

Rules:

-Obviously, forum rules do apply

-Though divine aspects can overlap, try not to have too many overlapping aspects with somebody else's God. I'll probably only allow one overlap for now. This will also hinge on your ability to get along with the other person. If you can't be civil, then it will come down to my decision.

-If you have any questions, ask me. This is a newly-developed idea, really, so if anything is unclear, I'd like to discuss it and clear it up.

-The OOC won't be too strict. I like banter. That said, be reasonable. I don't want to have ten pages to catch up on when I wake up in the morning.

- I doubt it needs to be said, but no auto-hitting, godmodding(hah) or powerplaying.

-This will be high-end casual to advanced roleplaying. Grammar, Punctuation, Capitalization, and spelling are a must. Also, I prefer quality over quantity. That said, you should have enough to go on to fill out a decent-sized post. After all, you have both a God, and a nation to roleplay At the very least, three paragraphs, though I'd prefer more.

[The Nexerus]

Krustaliem

Name: Krustaliem.

Title(s): The Frozen One. The Lonely God.

Seat of Power: Inside of the ice fields of northern Glacinus.

Divine Aspects: Ice and Winter; Introversion and Isolation.

Primary Form

A colossus constructed of ice, half trapped in the glacier of northern Glacinus.

Secondary Form
A figure entirely covered in worn animal skins and bits of cloth, clung tightly to his body. When removed, the figure is distinctly androgynous looking, but appears old, and extremely pale. The figure's hands, feet, nose and ears are suffering from severe frost-bite, and turned black.

Secondary Form
An imposing humanoid figure made of solid white stone and standing at ten feet tall. In direct sunlight he is blindingly bright, in the most literal sense.

Artefacts: The Shard of Glacinus; A permanently frozen shard of ice that freezes everything around it in reverse proportion to the heat in its surrounding environment. In the ice fields of Glacinus, for instance, it would essentially be indistinguishable from any other shard of ice. If it were dropped into a volcano, however, it would freeze its surroundings so instantly and so substantially that the magma would solidify and turn to rock before the shard could even fall through the air to reach it. Similar to how it cannot be melted, it cannot be shattered, no matter how hard of a force is enacted upon it.

Unique abilities

Manipulation of Ice; The ice fields of northern Glacinus are under Krustaliem's direct control. If someone he doesn't like happens to be walking on them, he can decide on a whim to open up a large crack directly underneath where they're standing, and send their corpse to the depths of oblivion. Krustaliem can also utilize ice to create structures and tools, including fortifications and weapons of war. This power makes Krustaliem nigh-invincible inside of the ice fields, but largely useless, from the perspective of a god, outside of them.

Call of Neutrality; Krustaliem can influence the minds of mortals to sever their emotional connections with others entirely, eliminating whether they perceive others as friend or foe. The Call is less effective the closer in proximity (both literal and figurative) that a person is to others. If a trained group of warriors who have been taught through discipline to recognize a certain party as a foe were to enter into Glacinus, for instance, Krustaliem's Call could eliminate their perception of who the foe is that they're there to fight, as well as their kinship towards each other. Eliminating the bond between a mother and her child, though, would be more difficult, because of their closer emotional connection.

Personal History: Krustaliem has spent almost the entirety of his creation isolated and largely dormant. He has undisputed control over a massive swath of territory, but the territory is mostly uninhabited, and as such he has acquired fewer worshippers proportional to other gods. Despite his small following though, his isolation has also meant that what followers he has are extremely devout. Another positive side-effect of Krustaliem's introversion is his lack of enemies; he has no real disputes with any of the other gods, except perhaps those that are ideological. Similarly, he has no allies among the Gods either.

Personality: Characteristic of his role as the God of Isolation, Krustaliem is distinctly asocial and introverted. Most of his worshippers never see his physical form directly, and attempting to visit his place of refuge in northern Glacinus is a life-threatening proposal. Krustaliem is quiet, cold and absent; he will generally only intervene when the safety of Glacinus is directly threatened. In such cases, though, his cold personality makes him capable of horrific acts of brutality and mercilessness.

Glacinus

Name: Glacinus.

Location: The nation of Glacinus is a massive one, existing in the far northern stretches of the continent. The southern edges of Glacinus could be described as tundra or taiga, with either bitterly cold, empty plains or the snow-swept corpses of withered mountains welcoming travellers to the land of the far north. Once the tundra's passed, the continent ends in technical terms. A large portion of Glacinus' area is ocean, but ocean that is permanently frozen over, thus allowing for an artificial extension of the land into the sea. The temperature here is somewhat warmer than the permanently frozen seas would suggest—Krustaliem's machinations allowing for some small level of human settlement in his realm—but it is still a cold and harsh place. In the warmer seasons, when the southern portion of the ice mass melts, a number of islands are visible, disconnected from the mainland in precisely the time when they would be most vulnerable to an outside army. It is on these islands that most of Glacinus' residents live, in small settlements, keeping to themselves far away from the other realms of mortals.

Civilization is rare, even in the more populous areas. The capital and largest settlement, Boreas, would be considered more of a large town than a city when compared to many of the more populous nations of the realm. The other settlements are all much smaller, villages and hamlets more so than towns, meekly working to preserve their existence in their unforgiving homeland, with most families having careers have change with the seasons, ranging from hunters in the spring to craftsmen of some sort in the bitter winter months. As a result of the extremely low population density of the country, the vast majority of the land of Glacinus is completely untouched by civilization. Nowhere in the whole of creation, though, is more isolated and more disparate from the civilized realms than the ice fields.

Occupying around half of Glacinus' total area is the Glacinus Ice Fields. This area is completely frozen down to bedrock year around, and almost completely flat, offering men to see for longer in any direction than anywhere else in the known world. The sky in the ice fields is radiant and foreboding, constantly imbued with northern lights, hues of blue, red and green running across the dark night sky all year around. Krustaliem's machinations have ensured that daylight never enters upon the ice fields, making the only natural illumination in this deathly cold antonym of hell the coloured lights that stretch their way across the sky.

Government: Boreas is the seat of Glacinus' government, and the administrative centre of the nation as a whole. The Glacii, a semi-religious order that are joint priests and governors, maintain order in the country, and act as its effective military, ensuring no foreign army can ever march upon Glacene territory. The Glacii do not exact taxes or tribute of any kind upon the citizens of Glacinus, however, and instead fund themselves through acting as middle-men for all trade that occurs between the Glacene and the outside world. Craftsmen and metal-workers, but especially miners sell their goods to the Glacii, whom in return arrange for them to be sold to interests outside of Glacinus. It is an age-old arrangement, and one that is largely an absolute necessity. Due to the massive distances between locations in Glacinus, and the remoteness of most settlements, trade is often an extremely costly endeavour. The Glacii also operate a few of their own mines in different areas of the country, and act as something of a police force for the larger settlements, like Boreas. However, that role is a minimal one, as the brutality of Glacinus doesn't leave much room for luxury, thus discouraging thieves and bandits from operating in the country.

Dominant race: The Glacene are Humans, but a heavily modified breed, having been moulded by their environment and their god to better suit the climate of the harsh north-lands of the continent. To make the most of the extreme flatness of Glacinus, the Glacene have highly attuned senses of sight, and are capable of impressive feats of agility to catch and subdue the prey that their lives depend on. The Glacene are also, obviously, extremely tolerant to the effects of cold temperatures. Their bodies don't start to break down or lose ability as quickly as those of other humans in the cold, and their extremities aren't nearly as susceptible to frost-bite. On the other end of the scale, though, their alterations make them extremely unsuitable for life in hot climates.

Other races: There is no other race in Glacinus but the Glacene, and the only domesticated animals in the country are the korra—a very large, furry breed of dog that developed alongside the Glacene, and is used to help them hunt and defend their communities. The korra are especially popular with Glacii units, assisting in aspects of their duties in defending Glacinus from outsiders.

Wild Flora/fauna: The taiga of southern Glacinus is filled with the predictable amount and breadth of wildlife. Bundles of trees and various hardy grasses and natural grains are common, as are animals like moose, hares and various birds. Further north, wildlife becomes somewhat more scarce. North of the seasonally island-filled area of Glacinus, where Borea and most other Glacene settlements are located, animals both prey and predator alike are extremely uncommon. The most you'll usually ever see is the odd fox or rabbit of some kind, and of course, in the warmer months, the waters that open up between villages mark the arrival of the fishing season. Once the ice fields in the north are reached, though, there is almost no life of any kind in sight, whether human or otherwise.

Specialization: The Glacene are exceptional hunters and expert craftsmen, adept at getting the most and best use out of any given material they can manage to get their hands on.

National History: Glacinus was brought together as a unified state by the Glacii, who were at first the local militia of the city of Borea. The Glacii gave Borea all of the services that they currently offer the whole of Glacinus, and their support to the city proved extremely beneficial to the Boreans, allowing them to spend more and more time on developing their settlement rather than merely trying to subsist. Eventually, Borea's population came to outnumber all of its surrounding villages, as families flocked to the city for use of its trade routes to the south and relatively ease of living, compared to the rest of the country. This prompted the local leaders of the villages to establish their own offices of the Glacii, and eventually every single settlement in the north found themselves associated with the Glacii in one way or another.

Alliances/Enemies: None. Following the teachings of Krustaliem, Glacinus is perpetually neutral. With that said, their neutrality does not by any means compel them to non-violence. When threatened, or when having a particular special interest outside of Glacinus, the Glacene can be as ruthless as the situation commands in their pursuit of their goals. Typically, though, the Glacene are accustomed to filling the role of the quiet, rural north-folk to their southern neighbours, who they generally interact with only for trade purposes.

Notable People

Evalaine Ashtur, Commander of the South Patrol.
Unin Lairr, Prudent of the Priests of Glacinus.

Going to have to say no outright unless major changes are made. Personal history is far too short, as is the National History. Your God's Divine aspects don't jive very well together. As stated before, they should be a reflection of your god's achievements or history, not necessarily ability. I'm also going to be a lot more strict with things like "God of the Sun" or "God of Death" because those have huge potential to be broken. Also, your Nation has far too many common high-fantasy races that others would probably want as their main race, such as orcs or Dragon-kin, as well as two different types of elf. Try creating your own races instead, perhaps.

Overall, fewer races, or more original races, Develop your God and Nation a LOT more, and lower the general power levels of your God and the creatures in your nation. Being able to lift 3000 pounds and punch through a wall of diamond is way overboard for a mortal.

EDIT: Also, I edited in a short list of universal Godly powers that we will all have. It's the last hyphen in the general info hider.

[Grey Star]

I find this site has a rather good map making function.

[Lucian]

Grey Star said

Already there thanks to Work's post. Haven't bothered making one yet though, kinda' busy IRL. If one of you wants to take the liberty of making one with the specifications I listed, I would be super grateful. If not, I can later.

The Nexerus said
WIP

Nice so far, though I feel the Shard may be a bit too powerful. How would one counter it?

[The Nexerus]

Lucian said How would one counter it?

The idea is that they don't. I'd intended on having it be Krustaliem's sole artefact, rather than one of three, and thus having it be particularly powerful. Three in one, so to speak.

[VitaVitaAR]

Name: Reon

Title(s): Goddess of Lilies, Goddess of the Sun

Seat of Power: WIP

Divine Aspects: The Sun, Fire.

Appearance: Reon has only one form, which will be posted here shortly

Artifacts: The Spear and Shield of the Sun. Both fairly ordinary in appearance, the Spear can be imbued with the intensity and heat of the sun itself(an exaggeration, but it becomes bright and on fire), allowing it to burn through foes before her if required. The Shield, however, retains a rather unique function: It is clear, acting as a magnifying glass and allowing heat and light to be channeled through it.

Unique abilities: Reon is completely and utterly immune to heat and fire, it cannot damage her in any way. This of course makes perfect sense given her domain as a goddess. Even the most intense fire would feel like a pleasant, warm day to Reon. She can also manipulate and create fire on a large scale, spawning balls of flame in the palm of her hand or pulling it from already-burning sources, directing it with her will. She can even use it as armor by igniting her body.

Personal History: WIP

Personality: Reon is, in a word, temperamental. It would be very easy to describe her personality as fiery. She is quick to anger and prone to jealousy and irritation with others, disparaging them for the foolishness she perceives and loudly declaring how she feels they are quite simply rather stupid. She is prone to insulting others without any hesitation whatsoever, even if they are those she is allied with. Even if it's those that she cares for, she will still freely insult them. This is really her way of attempting to steer them from behaviors she feels could result in them being harmed. Reon cares deeply for her followers and wishes to lead them to victory, even if she shows it in a rather indirect manner given her temperamental nature. Reon's favored symbol is the lily, the flower proving to be her favored plant above all others.

Other: WIP.

Work in progress but um yeah. ^^;

Perhaps put some sort of exact range limitation on it. It just doesn't sit right with me that you could toss the thing into a warmer climate rival's home city and watch everyone freeze to death, y'know?

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Grammar, Punctuation, Capitalization, and spelling are a must.

In the beginning, there was only the Overgod, and the Void. The Void was populated with the Overgod's thoughts and feelings. They were wistful, appearing and then disappearing. Time was simultaneous. All was well, until on of these thoughts, who would later take the name Melkaia, discovered itself.

GM has to ban himself for making a single spelling error, confirmed.

The Lonely God has no rivals, but I understand your point. The entire idea of the Shard is that it's the inverse of Krustaliem's powers, being most effective furthest from where he has direct control. That its range limitation. It's less effective the closest it is to where Krustaliem is the most effective, to the point of being completely useless in Glacinus itself. I figured that it was fair as an amalgamation of all three of his potential artefacts.

It's less effective the closest it is to where Krustaliem is the most effective, to the point of being completely useless in Glacinus itself.

I get that, and it's a cool idea (hahah) but that means that, with the shard, there is virtually no limit to Krustaliem's range of effectiveness. He himself is powerful close to home, while the shard is powerful in warmer climates. He will always be able to freeze the shit out of whoever he wants.

It just seems silly to put some arbitrary, "And if it gets more than X kilometres away then it doesn't work" limit on the Shard.

I guess I can let it slide, since you're standing so firm against any limitations, but only as long as it doesn't get out of hand. You've basically stated that your God's pretty neutral, and I know you from spam to be a pretty down-to-earth person, so fine. Just don't go icing over the planet.

Nation

Name: Arashe

Location: A temperate zone that is known for its sweeping valleys and clear rivers.

Government: A democracy where the various clans and guilds send their representatives as their spokesperson.

Dominant race: They are a clan of elves that have taken to improving themselves physically after being exiled, with body types that are trended more towards lean than slender. Their ears are a bit smaller than the norm and their hair are on the darker side of the spectrum. Eventually, they became known as an elf subspecies and nowadays they call themselves Larue N'hen (Spirited Exiles) with no small amount of pride.

Other races: They domesticated wolves and bred them to become even more efficient pack hunters than they were in nature. If anything, the wolves are a bit larger and more ferocious than their wild counterparts. Buffaloes are their cattle and they have a thriving fish farm due to the rivers criss-crossing their region. Tamed brown hawks are used to deliver messages.

Wild Flora/fauna: Wild wolves roam the region, as well as owlbears (body of bear with owl heads). Wyverns also fly the skies, territorial reptiles with some draconic and avian qualities armed with stinger tails and beaks, as well as winged forelegs. Other than that, lynxes, moose, waterfowl such as ducks and geese, and various other rodents live in the area.

Specialization: The nation of Arashe specializes in Agriculture and Metallurgy, even coming up with a living metal that acts much like a plant and grows from absorbing nutrients to create more of itself. They also believe that the best way to keep the peace is to be ready for any invader, and thus has a mindset that those who train their bodies as well as their minds are to be respected. As a result of this, Arashe is very martial and values martial ability such as the fighting forms and swordsmanship. As a result, the Larue N'hen has a high amount of schools that focus on fighting, leading to many, many martial arts styles.

National History: The Larue N'hen were a particularly outspoken minority of young elves in the past that constantly clashed with the more conservatives and prideful elders, resulting in the troublemakers being willingly exiled for complaining about how stifling certain traditions and laws were. Moving far away from their elders and through many lands, they finally settled in an unclaimed region rife with wildlife and set about creating exploring their new surroundings to adapt to. Soon, frontier towns sprang forth and the younger generation began to live in the rough lands and constantly challenged themselves, becoming hardy and resilient as well as flexible and adaptable. From that point on, they began to focus on arming themselves with both knowledge and power to repulse anyone that wants to take away their hard-earned freedom. War magic was researched, new fighting tactics were made, and body strengthening became cultural. Yet, they always kept in mind to never step past certain boundaries, remembering the hubris and arrogance of their original nation. Honor was for those that did the right thing and fought only in contests or for self defense, and never for ambition or invasions.

Alliances: To be updated.

Enemies: To be updated.

Notable People: The Clan/Guild Leaders are important due to the fact that they control sizable groups of influence as well as participating in elections and senates to determine the Prime Minister and other government officials.

Other: Their living metal are composed mainly of an iron base, since that metal is rather easy to find in the area. Other variants such as silver, gold, and even mithril exist. By blending together a living metal and another metal, you can make fruit alloys of a stronger metal without the need of manually forging them together, though they still need a bit of touching up if you are planning on utilizing them outside of their raw state.

Working on my CS, then I'll do my Nation~!

Question, am I allowed to play a Pantheon? The individuals of the Pantheon would obviously not be as powerful as a single one of another character's god, but all together they would be equal.

EDIT: Also, would I possibly be able to play as a nation without a god/whose god had been killed?
