[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

[Vec]

@Cyclone Go for it ;)

@Vec Hmm, don't understand the question xD

@Kho

I was just curious if we will have Cimex, Uri and the like; Any race other than plain ole Humans. I personally think we should stick to just Humans. Although it might sound boring at first, I think that if we have only one race to play with, it will enable us to be more versatile as to how that race would develop. We could always make another planet and have a different race inhabit it.

[Scarifar]

I think the plan is to have our own places, then create stuff there, including individual races.

@Vec

Hmm, I don't think that's something I can decide - it's more a matter of what happens IC and what players decide on after discussion. I can see the benefits, and it would definitely be interesting to, say, develop different sub-species of human (Homo Garinthus >.>) without Cimex and Uri, or Dyun, interfering.
But as I say, it's all about player preferences and not something I can force as GM

@Kho

Of course. I was just throwing an idea out there, something that seemed kind of logical to me.

[Kho]

And yes, there seems to be a push for developing more than one planet in this coming iteration, so it may be better to develop different species on different planets before the great collision. But again, it's all IC and player preference xD anything beyond Game Mechanics is out of my scope of GM powers

Edit: ninja'd

What are thoughts on that matter, everyone?

[Kangutso]

@Kangutso I already like him. Seems like he would be something of a Lawful Good, or some other kind of 'good', character.

@Kho

Glad you like. I'm not sure I can develop his personality any more, other than influences in an IC. Now to see about fitting all that into his personality section, unless I can get away with copy-pasting it in there.

He'll probably be a Lawful Good, and the one he'll most likely butt heads with, at least in terms of gods, Vestec. Though, at first, they might get along loosely.

EDIT: I'm indifferent about the species issue, though it might be nice to have at least 2 on a planet.

I think it's best to let this develop organically.

I suppose I'll take this opportunity to share a bit about the two planets I was planning to have Zephyrion make. For one of them, I actually don't intend for it to directly interact with the rest of the RP much. It would be something of a living hell though, so it's not like anybody is missing paradise.

The other one will be much nicer, at least at first. It will be his second attempt, and much closer to perfection. Naturally, I'll share this one.

I have the vague plan that something will happen to nicer planet (probably the easiest thing would be Vestec just deciding to corrupt/destroy it so as to troll his buddy in the wind god) and then Zephyrion will more or less give up on it. Then he'll go back to his first planet, help bring about a sentient race that can thrive in its terrible environment, and then guard it zealously from the other gods so that they don't ruin it.

For the nice damaged world that Zephyrion is willing to share, my idea was that it would be so screwed up that entropic forces are literally in the constant process of destroying it. The various "continents" would just be giant landmasses flying through an empty void of nothingness, literally floating islands. In the center would be a holy site that Zephyrion makes (or somebody else, or Zephyrion with the help of somebody else; it doesn't matter that much) that emanates some sort of orbs, or energy, or something like that. There isn't enough of the magical stuff for everyone. So all the nations/races/people on the different continents would be engaged in perpetual warfare as they try to claim that energy for themselves so that their entire continent isn't destroyed.

Basically it would be a great arena for the gods' minions to kill each other, for centuries on end, with their very existence hinging on victory being a pretty good motivator.

Anybody find that idea interesting?

[Frettzo]

@Cyclone, that sounds pretty cool. Might end up being one of Astarte's favorite places.

[Kangutso]

It'll be a mixed bag of emotions for my god.

I have also found it difficult to come up with a name for him, so I have to call on that offer, I feel.

[Kho]

@Cyclone It sounds a bit complex, not entirely sure how it would function so as to allow life (if it the magic orb?), but I think it will make more sense when it is created
I will have to think out how Vowzra would interact with it - he might even find its very existence dangerous and seek to destroy it completely - yes, I can see it now, a people whose singular purpose is to destroy the holy site binding this unnatural planet together :O

@Kangutso

I'd say looking at war god names from the various civilisations in human history may give you some inspiration

[Kangutso]

Here's a few I came up with. (Made up)

Tidanra
Bashukra
Zorladin
Serus
Dynioc
Arkus
Kyr

[Cyclone]

@Kangutso

Here goes some that popped into my mind. Maybe one will ring well or they'll collectively give you inspiration or something.

I'll attempt to capture your description in a name by listing a few that I think bring to mind something powerful, but not necessarily evil.

Armok (props if you know where this is from)
Yaka
Marmaros
Harban
Dromar

My love for mythology lends me to suggest Tiw, or some derivation of that name (Tyr, Tiwaz, Tue) as well. He was one-handed the Germanic god of war and honor, and Tuesday is named after him.

I'm not sure what sort of theme that you were going for, but I thought of a few oriental-sounding names as well that might work.

Fu
Jin
Kai

A few others came to mind, but they might be too...fantastical? Grandiose?

Dal'Rend
Remonis
Yokuda

Any of those sound good?

[Kangutso]

I thought Tyr was an actual Norse god?

[Cyclone]

@Kho

MAAAAAAAAAAAGIC

I forgot to mention that the continents wander around but periodically align with one central, harsh, and unforgiving landmass that hosts the holy site, and at that point all the nations simultaneously invade in search of the orbs of power or whatever.

Your cult should participate in the bloodbath by collecting said orbs. Only they then try to use said orbs to destroy the very holy site that makes the orbs.

[Cyclone]

I thought Tyr was an actual Norse god?

@Kangutso

The Norse Gods were the Germanic as well. Saxons, Danes, Swedes, even Britons worshiped more or less the same gods just with different pronunciations. The Slavic and Baltic gods weren't that different either; they have common themes like Thor. For whatever reason they all had to have some variant of Thor.

[Vec]

Hmm, since we're talking char creation; was there a particular god of stellar bodies in the previous itteration of the rp? Cause i have been thinking of changing some things about Ull. Does a Cosmic domain with a Stellar or Solar portfolio sound too vague and generic? Since the Sun is classified as a star, stellar would be more fitting? Opinions anyone?

[Rtron]

@Cyclone

Vestec supports this. Hell, he might even use it as the sight for his annual competition for whatever the most powerful object in the universe is. (Last time it was the Morello or whatever it was that Arguis created and Vestec got his hands on. That book that he was getting ready to create an arena gauntlet of death for.)

@Vec

Vestec is simply too chaotic to stick with only humans. They're amazingly and wonderfully malleable, but he'd be bored if they were the only race running around.

As for the domain and portfolio, there was no god that I knew of last RP, and the only problems I can see are the powers you'd have. What could a God of Stellar stars do?

@Kangutso

Vestc will fuck with him. AND HE WILL ENJOY IT. *blah, blah, taunting, blah, blah, mass murders a bunch of innocents.*

[Rtron]

WHOSE ALL FOR EVERYONE KEEPING THEIR LEVELS THEY HAD WHEN THE RP WENT ON HIATUS? =D =D =D =D

[Scarifar]

@Rtron

You know as well as I do that that won't happen. That wouldn't be fair for everyone. :P
