Would it be possible for a champion to be unaligned with a deity but still possess supernatural powers obtained through third-party methods?

CS posted.

Though I'm not sure about what to put in the history section, since Hephaestus already has a "canon" history in greek mythology. A lot of that would probably be used here, and the stuff that isn't could easily be brushed off as rumor, but I don't think it would be kosher to just copy and paste, and I'm not particularly keen on the idea of writing out a several thousand year history just so I can get in a scrap or three.

Thoughts? Should I just put in Krix's history?

Added a hammer because he's a smith and it seemed wrong that he didn't have one.

How did you not have one before?!?! He is a smith. Hell im not even a smith and my character weilds one! (Im going to go up to you in iC and ask you to improve it if you dont mind.) also, we should have a silent rivalry between us. After all, smithing is changing something natural into a tool right? But it would be done by combining natural forces, so it woul have to be a subtle, friendly, rivalry.

Wouldnt those 3rd party methods be the deity that the character is alligned with? Correct me if im wrong, but there is a god or demon for just about anything, ranging from the elements, other gods, to flying spagetti (im not even joking, its a modern religion to worship the flying spagetti monster, and to walk around with strainers upon your head.). I dont know if you COULD think of something that cant be assosiated with some god. Accept maybe atheism, but that baffles me how one would use the lack of religion for a theme in combat.
When i was younger, i made a story, where I invented 2 races, that fought and destroyed each other. During the later moments of their existance, they created champions who represented their races, and were later idolized as gods by the few survivors who escaped te war. Im going to post thestory tomarow, and the 2 gods, so that if anybody wants a wild card of sorts, they can give a whack at it. Does anybody think they might wanna make a 2nd char, based off an imaginary god invented 10 years ago by an8 year old who wa LARPing with a friend in the park? Haha!

If by unaligned, you mean True Neutral alignment, then yes. If by unaligned you mean not associated with a powerful being, than no. The whole premise of this RP is that the Champions serve deities and other powerful beings. One cannot become a Champion unless given the title by a god who has deemed them worthy in their service.
Schradinger, I love your character idea, but I'm concerned with the many immunities/resistances, and counters he possesses. As a Champion, it's obvious that you will be faster, stronger, better than mere mortals, but to have hide that is as tough as steel as well as immunity to fire, and hard counters to most forms of magic seems a bit much. Even Herriman with his bulk, intelligence, and sinister magic has flaws. I would ask you to revise your powers, abilities and weaponry with this in mind.

Side note: bones with a hardness similar to graphite would actually be detrimental. Graphite is rather soft, which is why it makes for easy writing in pencils. This isn't a CS killer as much as the above concern, but as a chemist/physicist, I was slightly irked, lol.

I reduced his toughness and strength, and clarified/reduced the magical resistance of the chains (since I realized the original wording conveyed an entirely different meaning to what I actually meant). Regarding the magical counters provided by his weapons, all of them are conditional upon him actually holding the weapon, and he only has so many hands. He also has no hard defense against area of effect or unfocused magic, though if you have ideas about how to alter the enchantments to make them more acceptable I'm all ears. Or eyes, as the case may be. Mostly I just want him to have weapons worthy of the champion of a forge god, and just being unbreakable and always sharp doesn't seem to cut it, you know? (it's pretty standard fare throughout fantasy, after all)

Unbreakable weapons I'm fine with. It was primarily the antimagic thing that was red-flag. It looks fine that you fixed it, but even still I would change immunity to fire into resistant. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in most situations, but there ARE other Champions and gods who use fire, and in the case of more powerful Champions, and especially in the case of gods, I would not allow you to simply ignore all damage from a source that deals fire damage.

I like it. A very simple CS with a wide range of possibilities. It balances itself in its deacription. ^_^ maybe i just like all CS's too much, because im yet to see one that i didnt apreciate for one reason or another.

Heres that story i brought up yesterday, typed just now from my iphone for your convenience!

The entities, now identified as gods of their kind:




Phew that was a TON of typing. Took about an hour on my iphone. Yep, 8000 characters (roughly), and an hour of my life to type that up. If nobody makes a champion for either of these guys, i shall, because i think its a grand story, and leaves space for non-humans to enter the battle. Plus they are entities of very different ranges. Anywho, my Iphone is now at half battery, so im going to charge it before work.
