[OOC] Land of Roa

[KaiserAuto]

<Snipped quote by KaiserAuto>

Then it must be impossible, because the challenge existing to begin with empowers whoever created the challenge to be the judge. IT'S AN EMPOWERMENT PARADOX. I'm going to faint.

@Palamon

Mhm.

[SaintJackal]

I've decided to move the process along a bit; Captain if you post your application at any point now you can pick from any remaining areas, so hurry up dude. Everyone else, feel free to post a nationless god, a godless nation, or just a normal god & nation combination. If you also want to put yourself forward to help control any of these once we enter the IC then let me know.
Edited: Upon observation Greg has been deemed unfit if for Roa. Even GMs make mistakes.

[Cyclone]

I can imagine Ialu cursing Greg with insanity and nightmares, causing much hot coffee to be spilled and entire kingdoms to crumble due to landslides.

[KaiserAuto]

Oh.
I thought that one was a joke.

I've decided to move the process along a bit; Captain if you post your application at any point now you can pick from any remaining areas, so hurry up dude. Everyone else, feel free to post a nationless god, a godless nation, or just a normal god & nation combination. If you also want to put yourself forward to help control any of these once we enter the IC then let me know. I'll get the ball rolling to begin with:

Nationless Neutral God:
Name(s): Greg
Dominion(s): Misfortune, failure, clumsiness
Appearance: Greg would appear to be a normal man of average build, who possesses curly medium length hair and a fold-able pair of strapped prescription glasses that hang around his neck. He can usually be seen in casual clothing such as shorts and plain tee-shirts, but on occasion has been seen to wear white dress shirts, black slim fitting trousers and black loafers.
Personality: Greg is a good natured young man who is usually enthusiastic and pleasant to be around. His online dating profile claims he's 'perky' and 'fun-loving' but these are both dubious claims. In the era of the All-God he had been unpopular with his godly piers and instead found solice in the All-God himself; with the two becoming rather good friends. Since his friends disappearance he has taken to hiding reclusively in his cottage, but is more then happy to host those who drop by his abode, and deals with most people's bafflement and confusion well. He is a huge coward though and will either freeze or flee at any sign of danger. He will reward those who are nice to him with tidbits of information or gossip, and perhaps even shares his secrets. When left to his own devices he likes to garden and take strolls, and can often be heard complaining about his terrible 'broadband connection'.
Powers: Greg is cursed with the worst luck imaginable. He'll never win a coin toss and his toast always lands sticky side down. He is also unimaginably clumsy, failing all but the most basic actions but still keeping a brave face. Not only does he suffer from bad luck, but any person who meets or even enters his vicinity suffers from it significantly more, and any misdeed of Greg's is visited upon someone in the world tenfold. If he spills hot coffee on himself, a landslide will destroy a rural village, if he misses a phone call, someone will accidentally strangle themselves with chicken wire, etc etc. His last power is to omnisciently be aware of all and every misfortunate event happening around the world, whether it be a assassination attempt or someone getting a paper cut.
Magic Items: Greg's Cottage:
Greg's home seems to have a life of its own, and inexplainably traverses between the lands of Roa at random intervals, appearing overnight in a snowy moor or a arid desert. It also possesses a variety of weird and wonderful devices before unseen in the world. Greg seems to be familiar with them and uses them proficiently, but to most of the inhabitants of Roa a machine that toasts bread or a 'washing machine' seems quiet unnecessary and alien. The aura of misfortune that surrounds Greg also makes it very difficult to attack his home; weapons will slip from hands, fire will spread away from it, people will tread on a series of banana skins, it's just hard to damage it.
Mortality: Greg himself is very killable, and bleeds and dies much like any man. However after dying, the next day he can found, very much alive and tending to his garden and whistling a tune. To truly kill him one must destroy his cottage.

What's a joke?

[Rhymer]

I just thought it was old greg

@Rhymer

Some say he's a fish finger; the size of a garage.

[KaiserAuto]

Greg.

Greg is a joke.

I sure hope it is.

[SaintJackal]

In the old run of this that I was in on old guild one guy had a god that constantly broke the fourth wall and could make golems out of anything. Anything. One was a collection of live poodles. I'm surprised most people went for the fantasy cookie cutter, although it is good to have a general theme.

[Klomster]

A poodle golem....

At least it isn't a kitten golem, people would never be able to resist the cuddles!
I should make a kitten golem.

[KaiserAuto]

@Klomster

My nation has tiger spirits; get r3kt.

[Klomster]

Oohhh shiii.... imagine tiger spirit golems!

While the tiger spirit golem is more obvioulsy dangerous, i still think the kitten golem is the more sinister.

Orbus, the Scale Holder

---

Name(s):

Orbus, The Scale Holder, Master of Order, the Necessary Force of Things to Be, The White Angel, The Divine Enforcer.

Dominion(s):

The Pillar, The Earth, Gravity, Life.

Orbus, The Holder of Scales' true form

Atop his crown lies the world, he is the pillar that supports earth and therefore he sees what tensions the roof- but also what threatens the pillar; from both beyond and within.

Orbus, the Holder of Scales' mortal form

The avatar of unfathomable power, it stands as the central essence of support for Earth as is now- by channeling his power through this mortal coil, one of the greatest children of the All-God is able to uphold the planet and keep it from damnation.

Personality:

Orbus may be deemed a cold deity, where one may expect kind and compassion from a deity holding up the very fabric in the place of his father, the All-God, Orbus is instead an apathetic ruler whom puts the world before his own well being, or others for that matter. All which clouds his mind is the well being of the land which fills his fathers domain and therefore he has become the self titled Watcher and Praetorian of this holy ground. With the angelic court at his finger tips, one may say that this deity plays a very essential part in the holding together of the world. Orbus is a loyal child to his father and therefore he is clouded deeply with the well being of the Earth and cares little for the works of Gods that doesn't directly harm the Earth and the fathers plans. Orbus' name stands for sensing the world, that stands very true.

Even due to this, Orbus stands as a silent watcher- uninterested in the business of lesser beings. He is gripped quite firmly in his own celestial hierarchy system.

Powers:

Orbus is an identity of cosmically powerful powers that are hard for even mortal men to fathom, let alone witness before them. Nevertheless this might is wasted on the supporting of the world which is, his fathers creation. Orbus has solely enslaved himself to the survival of this planet and due to the already existing cosmic vacuum due to his fathers vacancy, he has to shield and keep the earth together from this cosmic vacuum which desperately desires the destruction of that which is. So whilst his powers are on the cosmic scale, he uses his almost unrivaled power to attempt to defy the vacancy which his father left behind- this vacancy is a mass of supremely destructive force, desiring the annulment of that which is.

Magic Items:

Whilst it's not an item, the Pillar of Being is something which Orbus created in the center of his fathers world- it acts as a transmitter for Orbus' actual power and it's purpose is solely to keep the world together- all from time and space holds its center in this very place. One would only be able to stutter when attempting to describe the majesty of this angelic design and Orbus crafted it in accordingly to his description of his fathers grace and cosmic plan. All of Orbus' angels herald from this holy cathedral- but it stands as mighty as a citadel of righteous belief.

Mortality:

Whilst Orbus is literally unkillable, his avatar is not.
However, it is quite powerful due to the fact that it's a literal transmitter of his actual cosmic power. But he won't use that might upon the mortal world because his love of the world which is- therefore he creates pocket dimensions of which he and any of his minions do battle. The Pillar of Being (White Cathedral) is linked with the Avatar of Orbus, and vise-versa. If one is destroyed the other will as well leading to terrifying destruction.

Watchers of the White Cathedral

---

Terrain:

The terrain of which envelopes the Watchers has long since been 'purified', as in turned to marbel and assimilated into the large mechanism which is the Pillar of Being. Where there once were lush trees there are now massive spires reaching tall into the heavens emitting all kinds of radiance, acting as almost a second sun- the holy energy is gathered like an orb above the massive pillar akin to how the world hangs at the crown of Orbus. There it will be channeled into cosmos acting as a powerful shield against the destructive force of the vacancy. There remains still certain trees, but they are of white bark and holy property. The territory which is the center has long since been alike this- designed by Orbus himself, the massive creation which all is the Pillar of Being is an artistic imagining what Orbus imagined the will of the All-God would be. Hanging high above the clouds and half way up the spires and the mighty pillar there flies four guardians- each heralding one of the cardinal directions.

They are the Seraphim; massive angelic constructs serving the will of protecting the central spire. They are mighty and awestriking.

Wildlife:

There exists no native life to this holy land of the White Cathedral (A common reference to the Pillar of Being) due to the fact that there exists one massive building designed much akin a mythological tempel raised by God himself. There would be no beauty in architecture like this- and no holier place for the 'true' than this citadel of the pillar. There are, however, many humans living below the marbel roofs and mighty spires- they are of every corner of the world and they are true. Whilst they server as nothing but slaves for the cogs of the Pillar of Being, they live their lives in honest belief and loyalty to the ways of honoring the All-God in hopes of brining him back to the world. Deep down even Orbus has given up hope, but such is not something even himself dares admit or tell himself.

Species:

Every species of sentience may find itself within the great halls of the cathedral city of the Pillar of Being, more often refered to as the White Cathedral.

Culture(s):

The people who live below the absolute authority of Orbus live their lives in relative comfort- they hold elections to a guiding council which supposedly helps guide Orbus' judgement but they are simply a thing to keep public unrest to a necessary zero. But something which many people reach towards the White Cathedral is it's vast schools and scholars. Anything from magic to military tactics and history can be studied within White Cathedral and there even exists four different schools whom own access to the Speaker's Spire, a spire which leads up to one of the Cardinal Seraphim. There one may ask the sworn protector any one question they hold and it shall be answered by the angelic knowledge of these constructs.

There exists a hierarchy of angelic constructs which Orbus made, the Seraphim are at the top and then there are four others, all sentient. Certain good schools hold one of these angels as one of their scholars or advisors- the four greatest schools hold a staff exclusively made out of high level angels.

The two most famous angels are Amazael the Great as well as Raldyrael the Magos-Primus. These two are both Ybrim, the second greatest angel rank according to Orbus' Dictatorium Angelos Biblica.

Large amounts of discrimination between mortal and angel is made in certain parts of the nation-sized cathedral.

Capital:

The White Cathedral.

Important Individuals:

Raldyrael the Magos-Primus.
Amazael the Great.
The First. (Seraphim)
The Second. (Seraphim)
The Third. (Seraphim)
The Fourth. (Seraphim)

[Klomster]

So i can't help but notice (with my great detection skills) that not much is going on here. Any reason?

[KaiserAuto]

Your detection skill has increased by 5, your detection skill is now at lvl 1.

[Cyclone]

Ouch. Need the firemen to come help with that burn?

[SaintJackal]

Sorry had a lot of stuff going on. Also wanted to give captain a chance to post but I think that ship has sailed, will proceed with writing/map filling and hopefully everything will be ready by Tuesday.

[Rhymer]

Hello! I kinda forgot I was doing this but I'm still here.

[KaiserAuto]

I'm an arsonist.

[Klomster]

Your detection skill has increased by 5, your detection skill is now at lvl 1.

@KaiserAuto

That's a good estimate of my detection skills at times :P

Just wanted to check if it was still on.
