I want to see the recruitment propaganda for these factions.

Ill add it to my list. When i get home from the bar, ill tag that in. Its pool night, and i can only post breifly between brackets (30 games)

[Skallagrim]

Well with accepting of characters advancing the fights should become more exciting and with a dedicated place for noncombat interactions the role-play should advance.

[ASTA]

Done, I guess. Submitting god within the next few minutes.

Name: Sovereign

Age: Hard to tell since Sovereign rarely (if ever) shifts back to his human form. He's 104 years old.

Sex: Male

Appearance:



>(Active) Supernatural Biology: As a being infected with lycanthropy, Sovereign is impervious to all manner of malady and toxins, can regenerate from sever wounds at an astonishing rate and is unmarred by the degenerative effects of time itself. Likewise, Sovereign lays a stern claim to an extraordinary measure of physical prowess bolstered by the influence of extramundane forces, affording him deep, peak reserves of demigod-level strength, speed, agility, endurance, reaction timing, and toughness.

Sovereign can detect the electromagnetic pangs produced by a living creature's heart, can pick up the pheromones secreted by applicable beings and has an excellent sense of hearing, smell and sight.

>(Passive) Bestial Dynamism: Persistent psychological and physical trauma initiates a gradual (although ultimately dramatic) increase in physiological capabilities and a pronounced reduction in the perception of time, allowing Sovereign to willfully disregard his body's inbuilt limitations to execute daring feats of titanic strength, blinding speed, and daunting agility. Tunnel vision, impaired hearing, a marked impediment in situational awareness, and a very real risk of self-injury are the assorted adverse effects of Hysterical Dynamism, but the tactical benefits of such an ability can outweigh the risks in distinct combat situations.

>(Passive) Wretched Growl: A nonlethal area-of-effect attack that projects a powerful, spherical-shaped pulse of disruptive sound and an overpowering gust of wind around Sovereign. Aside from forcing nearby foes away from him, Wretched Growl is not particularly damaging, but the cascading sonic waves that it emits have a decent chance of damaging eardrums and causing the target to be afflicted with momentary blindness through the fierce resonating of their eyeballs.

>(Active) Hide of the Wolf-King: Functioning as a pseudo-suit of quality armor, Sovereign's dense pelt affords him additional protection from harm by projecting a latent field of negatively-aligned magics around his whole that directly sap energy (kinetic, thermal, ect) from incoming assaults.

>(Passive) Call of the Wild Hunt: A howl to the dearly departed recalls Sovereign's beloved kin back from the afterlife so that they may fight alongside him for a brief moment. Seasoned fighters are these three hounds of substantial size and ghostly anatomy, though they do not quite measure up to the deadliness of a champion.

Weaponry

Teeth/Jaws: Strong and durable enough to pierce through personal body armor. Being mauled by Sovereign will likely end in sever bloodless, limbs being severed or bones being shattered. Or a combination of all three. Able to harm incorporeal beings as well.

Claws: Retractable knives of paranormal sharpness. Identical in strength and effectiveness to a bundle of small knives created from quality metals and enchanted with a honed, self-sharpening edge. Able to harm incorporeal beings as well.

God, History and Alignment Stuff

Name: Kri of the Shriveled Forest

Sex: Female

Appearance: A woman of dark complexion garbed in a set of unimaginative robes.

Domains: Kri is a powerful nature spirit that is revered by the werewolves of her own dimension. Apathetic to the existence of other higher beings, Kri has no real reason for enrolling Sovereign into the divine games, but she nonetheless obliged her strongest warrior's wishes to partake in them out of respect for his longing to better himself as a war fighter, hunter and predator.

Because the two concepts are extremely subjective, both deity and champion are neither good nor evil in the 'traditional sense' (if this descriptive phrase is even applicable of course), and seem to follow their own set paths. Kri is unusual for a god in that she doesn't fully consider herself as an all-powerful deity and more of a simple anomalous byproduct generated by the material universe during its violent materialization into existence. Not exactly meek or haughty, but Kri is definitely a hardened woman that keeps to herself and doesn't place an inflated value on her own vast power.

So now that the fight's over, who's going to be up next?

[ViKtoricus]

Hello everyone. I kinda noticed that the Arena is a little slow compared to the other sections of RPG. Recruiting players for my own RP can be tough, so I'd like to take this opportunity to advertise here. lol.

In exchange, I myself will join and a MAY be able to bring two others with me here.

[Skallagrim]

Hey Vik, its slow in the arena, small core group of fighters. But your role-play is not much different than any of the other two active "fight for a god in special place" type role-plays currently going on. Perhaps instead of trying to take people over work with the GM's of the others to expand the scope of the current role-plays by adding some ideas of your own. Otherwise things tend to get diluted and die of inactivity.

***

As for who should fight next, I say Schra you and Grn once he is accepted duke it out. The others can start their interactions in the "social" thread to give them something to do.

[ViKtoricus]

Alright. I decided to join this RP but...

Would it be too much if I roleplay as Jehovah and have Jesus as my champion? If that sounds crazy, I would completely forget that such a thought even crossed my mind...

I can roleplay Jesus well, as although I'm a borderline atheist, I know Christian lore and Christ's teachings like the back of my hand...

[Grnmachine]

@ViK, i guess nobody can deny you, but i think it would be best if you used a fictional charecter. Owait... i mean not use one that already 'exists'

Trying my best not to offend anyone.

[Daglobster]

@ Schrade: Until we get the character deposit filled out, I'm not quite sure who's going to fight next.

@ViK: You need to make your own original champion for this RP. You can have Jesus or whoever as your patron, but your champion's gotta be original.

[Daglobster]

Grn, if you could PM me your completed character so I can take a look at it, I'll be more than happy to green-light the fight between you and Schrade.

Grn to claim that Jesus is a fictional character is not accurate. There was a man named Jesus listed by Roman historian Tacitus referred to Christus and his subsequent execution by Pontius Pilate in his Annals. This reference to Christus has extremely negative comments by Tacitus' on Christianity as a religious movement. Scholars generally consider Tacitus's reference to the execution of Jesus by Pontius Pilate to be both authentic, and of historical value as an independent Roman source. Apparently from Tacitus’ commentary the crucifixion of Jesus was due to his challenging of Roman authority.

Whether or not this Jesus is the Son of God, the Prince of Peace and the Savior of the World is debatable. But to claim that Jesus is a fictional character is incorrect.

I copy-pasted this in one of my many word files, right next to my detailed info about Napoleonic cavalrymen...

That's how addicted to history I am.

[ASTA]

Am I accepted?

[Daglobster]

Yeah, your character's accepted.

You know what? You and Schrade are the next to fight. I'm still hashing things out with Grn. Shcrade, can you PM me your character sheet?

[Schradinger]

I posted it in the character deposit so everyone can find it easily. Will that be sufficient?

[Skallagrim]

Hmmm to make a weak enough character to be accepted.

[Daglobster]

I'm writing the intro post to the fight now. Again, Schrade and ASTA are our combatants for this fight.

Cool.

[Skallagrim]

This should prove entertaining.

[Schradinger]

Since Sovereign was the first to be introduced, I'll let Asta make the first post.
