[IC] Becoming a God

[KatherinWinter]

Through out the world a cry has gone out. The God and Goddess that have watched over all creatures are gone. Prophets all over the word began telling the story of how ordinary humans can take the place of the missing God and Goddess. A quest and a trail has been set. All those who are interest are welcome to join. The quest will begin with a festival in the middle of the plains of Oklahoma.

I'm finally here...

A teenaged girl looked over the many tents of the great festival and sank to her knees, feeling a rush of emotion. Fear ad anticipation mixed with immense relief that she had come this far.

Now what do I do?

Getting to the festival had not been easy for Astrid Alisse. After living in the same place her entire life, it was nearly impossible to believe that she had spent her entire life savings to fly halfway across the world in order to chase after something so unbelievable as a quest for the powers of the gods. If she hadn't been so adamant about saving for herself, it truly would have been impossible.

And my goddess is one that I can't even be sure ever existed... But I suppose that's what faith means.

Astrid had to put more faith in her deity of choice than most. Ailina, Lady of Starlight, was someone who had visited her dreams for a long time. She had been a comfort to Astrid in her times of need, providing her with the hope that tomorrow would be better... until she vanished with the rest. What worried Astrid was that she had searched far and wide for records of Ailina and her worshipers, but found next to nothing.

I can't help but feel envy for those people that seek the power of the better-known gods. Even if they have to compete with more aspirants, they at least know they're striving toward a power that definitely exists.

Astrid Alisse, the penniless orphan, the champion of hope, rose to her feet and set forth into the sea of tents.

Caspian had made it, his journey was boring and a waste of time. He had to travel across the county for some stupid festival, that he had seen in his dreams. The only reason he came was because he had been thought at a very young age that dreams were signs from God.

He was supposed to be working at the factory right know but he was too distracted by the dream to work, so he took time off to come here. He was really looking for away to break away from the proverty line that he knew so well. He hoped that this "god of Forges would provide a payment plan for all this champion stuff, there was no way he was going to take off from work with no pay for who knows how long.
Caspian the Champion of the Forger, carefully walked into the confines of the festivals city of tents.

(This is the first time I have done an IC so if it is cheesy I'm sorry) :)

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy rolled her eyes at the sight of the festival. She would avoid the whole thing if she could be the Goddess of Shadows had been whispering to her for years. Until a couple of years ago when the whispers suddenly stopped. Now she know why the Goddess had stopped talking to her. When she heard there was a quest to replace the missing Gods and Goddesses Roxy knew that she would have to replace the Goddess that had watched over her for so long. Unfortunately in order to join the quest she had to deal with people. She hated dealing with people. With a sigh she made her way to look where to sign up.

[LokiLeo789]

A young boy peddled his bike down the street toward the festival grounds.

" I'm finally here, I'm finally going to find out who killed her ".

Nero was basically doing the police's job, only 2 years after his mother's murder the police decided to close the case because of the lack of leads. Well he couldn't blame them, most of the leads either ended with him in a dark alley way or in a pedophile's motel room.

Nero had a feeling this place would give the leads he needed to find his mother's killer. Nero confidently walked toward the festival giddy with excitement with his bike in tow.

Adrian walked through the rows of tents with a frown on his face. His katana was worn in the traditional Japanese manner on his left side with the blade facing the sky in its scabbard. His arms were not in the sleeves of his jacket instead it was merely draped over his shoulders as he walked calmly. hopefully this will help me find my way to ascension where I may wreak havoc upon those who deserve it. I wonder what this quest is and why they picked here though. There is no significance to this place and most of the people here I could easily kill. It is quite curious.....

His train of thought was stopped when he saw an attractive girl in front of him. she appeared to be looking for the entry tent something he also needed to find.He approached her calmly, but with his left hand resting on the hilt of his katana. "Hello there miss are you here for the quest as well?" he asked nonchalantly.

[KatherinWinter]

"Nope." Roxy answered sarcastically. "I'm here for the cupcakes." She continues filling ou the forms. Roxy would stand out even in such a large differce group of people like this one. She was dressed in skin tight leather that showed of her trim body. Around her waist was a belt that held many knives. She had on her favorite black leather biker boots on. "I don't k ow why I have to fill out an application for cupcakes. What is this world coming to."

[drallinix]

A smile parted his lips revealing white teeth with slightly elongated canines as he laughed at her wit. "Cupcakes well then I guess I should sign up as well!" he retorted while filling out the form. Putting the form and the pen down and straightening up he looked at her again. Tight leather and knives she was definitely his type. Holding his hand out he said "The name is Adrian want to stick together for the time being?" he smiled the entire time he spoke.

Roxy studied Adrian. She had never been much of a people person. The fact that he carried a weapon made her more inclined to talk to him. She didnt know what this quest would take but having an Allie might come in handy. She was willing to give him a chance. "I have two rules. First you stay out of my personal space unless I say otherwise or the situation demands you to be close. Second you do NOT touch my knives. You can call my Roxy."

"Well then Miss Roxy you don't have to worry about the second rule." he said while patting the hilt of his katana with his left hand. "As you can see knives aren't my flavor I prefer something a bit more elegant." he smirked as he continued "However I don't know about the second part I mean you cant tease me like this everyday wearing tight leather and expecting me not to notice". He hoped she would pick up on the joking tone in his voice.

Braen slowly approached the festival that was apparently taking place for 'new gods'. Braen was never much of a religious person, if God's existed why would they make his life so shitty? He knew they were gone for a few years, but there were still around for most of his life. He had only came because the event was relatively close, and he had nothing to do for a next few months so this would at least kill the time if nothing else. Looking around he noticed a lot of people carrying weapons on them, 'wow, these people are serious' he thought to himself. He'd have to be especially sure not to end up in any fights while here... cause if he did he probably wouldn't walk away with just a few bruises and broken bones.

Braen slowly approached a tent to sign up at, next to him were two people talking. He overheard something about some alliance, and the guy seemed to be hitting on the woman in skin tight clothing. And the girl rejecting him rather bluntly. But not only were people bringing weapons, but they were making an alliance... This was most curious. He simply decided to keep over listening while filling in his papers for now, getting an idea of what the other's were like might help him understand the crowd he's dealing with.

Roxy rolled her eyes. "I don't care if you notice or not. As long as you don't touch." She told him. She studied his katana. She had seen weapons like that but she had never used them. "I prefer knives. My knives can fly through the air in ways that your heavy kantana can't." She looked around wondering what god or goddess everyone was trying for. "This should be an interesting quest. Which Gid are you interested in becoming?"

[Gwazi Magnum]

They seemed to be comparing weapons, definitely the violent sort. Maybe people that Braen would want to avoid... but at the same time violent people might make good allies... and would definitely make effective Gods when dealing with those who don't behave. Hold on, now he was thinking like one of those people who had complete faith in this contest, he was just here to check it out though. None the less though, if he could try to make some friends this may work to his advantage, and if he fails... worst happens is that Braen dies. It's not like he really had much to live for at the moment though anyways.

He decided to start it off easy, simply by making a remark to the weapons of the two saying "Those look like good weapons. You two use them often?".

[LokiLeo789]

"Were in Hephulcan is the damn quest sign up" Caspian thought angrily. " When I ascend I'm going to have to implement a god of maps, that would make this so much easier" he sighed. Caspian wandered through the sea of tents looking of the quest sign up tent . Finally after hours of searching he found it, or so he thought he did. Already there were two tough looking people talking to each other, blocking the entrance to the quest sign up, one was a girl with skin tight leather clothing and an assortment of knives( that he thought was poorly made in his opinion) She really stands out Caspian thought to himself but he was one to talk he wore large leather gloves that reached up to his elbow, he had goggles on top of his head, and a blue shirt that said " I need money" on the front, as for weapons all he had was his hammer. The other person was a tall man who seemed to exude confidence, he had a kartana strapped to his side. Caspian walked toward them completely ignoring there conversation and interrupting them " Sorry to intrude but could you please pass me a sign up sheet, I'd like to know how much a "champion on a quest to become ascended" makes everyday.

[drallinix]

Replying to Roxy he said "true but in a head up fight when you don't throw them my katana has the reach and cutting power yours lack as a team they could be an effective combo. I can fight head up and keep them off you while you aim for vital points. As for the god I wish to become that of vindication and justice my katana shall bring light to a world of darkness" as he finished a newcomer cut into the conversation.

Looking at the boy Adrian saw no apparent weapons and a not particularly imposing build. His smile and outward demeanor instantly changed to one of darkness. Power and rage could be felt in an almost tangible aura. "If I were a man of peace would I carry a sword? Do you think I walk around with it because it looks cool? Yes, I have used it on many men the majority of whom did not survive." Adrian finished. Suddenly his darkened atmosphere was gone and his cool and happy demeanor was back. "but im guessing youd prefer to clash with your mind than steel." He said to the newcomer.

Just then another newcomer wearing the garb of a smith interrupted asking if they could hand him a sign up sheet. His smile shining brightly and his green eyes seemed to glow with anticipation. "Do I look like an attendee? Am I your slave? No to both? then get your own sheet because I don't particularly feel like getting one for you." Adrian said this his left hand still resting on the hilt of his sword.

Without looking up Roxy handed him a clipboard, pen, and an application. She studied the two new arrivals. She dismissed them both as uninteresting. She would interact with them only on a need to bases. Unless they proved interesting later. She knew you couldn't always judge a person by their appearance. "I use my knives when I have to. I don't go looking for trouble but if it canes looking for me I will deal with it."

[LokiLeo789]

"Haha your a funny man aren't you, but let's not go there kay, we can all get along here right" Caspian offered, the only reason Caspian decided to go the route of the the peace maker.

[drallinix]

As she handed the smith the pen and clipboard Adrian put his middle and pointer finger of his right hand to his forehead. "Oh cmon now Roxy whyd you have to go and spoil the fun like that?" he asked in a snarky tone. "sure buddy we can all get along" he said before leaning in close to the smith "I saw her first go get your own". Straightening back up Adrian yelled "ALLRIGHT NOW WHERE CAN A GUY GET A DECENT MEAL AROUND HERE!?" making sure everyone in the immediate vicinity heard him.

Thank you he replied as he received the clipboard, he decided it was best to walk away and sign in a different area away from them.

Roxy laughed she ignored his question about why she had given the smith the application he requested. She wasn't anyone's servant. But that didn't mean that she was going to be rude. Not useless she felt like it. "Your katana might have reach. But I prefer too attack from a distance. Why get up close when I don't have to?" She asked. "My knives will serve me well on this quest. Besides I can hide my knives when I have to. You can't hide your katana. Which means there will be times you will be without it."
