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

[Rtron]

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

It's up to @Kho, but there is a high chance you'll need to start as a half-god/Demigod.

A pride, ambition, and envy Demigod will probably come from someone like Seran (Ethan's God, because his God is the God of Strength, which could translate to arrogance), Undasis (my God, because Kraken is extraordinarily arrogant, selfish, and believes he is above all other Gods), or maybe Vowzra (Kho's God, which isn't linked to those traits but acts really arrogant).

Kho said at the start of the RP that anyone joining after the start would have to be a Demigod. But, we still just got going so perhaps it's not to late for another full-fledged god to jump in.

@Hael

Someone like Vestec could combine their essences together, because who else would be crazy enough to do that?

See? You don't have to have godly sex to have godly kids. :p

[Kho]

Still waiting on @Venku and @Pie Flavor
Pie said that her computer overheats or something when she tries to write up a post, but Venku has been around and said he was working on a post. We'll just wait a bit longer on them. If they don't post soon, we'll just have to move on to the next turn.

@Rtron

Come to think of it, Undasis could also potentially do that- thus creating a perfect mix of Woman of the Waters and Kraken. It would never happen, though, because Kraken and Woman think of eachother like dis-functional siblings.

Well, it looks like you have a crap-ton of options, @Cyclone. Vestec (evil), Undasis (selfish), Vowzra (prideful)...

[Cyclone]

Well I know that the Mongols are supposed to be the only exceptions, ever...



...but can I maybe start as a mortal (a really ambitious one) and eventually jump to demigod or even god status without the help of a god, by starting as a mortal and then eventually trying to contact Fate or Invictus? Or perhaps by somehow tricking Escre (the god that tries to prevent mortals from becoming gods) and stealing power from him.

Just creative ideas of mine. Yeah, if that gets rejected then I lean towards being created by Vestec or Saron.

@Cyclone

Hmm, strange you should ask. I was thinking as I wrote out the FAQ about how demigods eventually becomes gods. I thought, perhaps, we could potentially apply that to Heroes.
So, as you may or may not know, a god can create a Hero, who is basically a blessed human with extraordinary powers and so on. Perhaps, with time and as their power increases, a Hero can become a demigod and eventually a god. I don't know how it would happen, perhaps through Invictus and Fate or some other way. If you are willing to do that, you can test it.
Mind you, however, a hero is at the mercy of the gods. Obviously, godmodding and doing things without your permission still apply, but any god can influence you at a whim and you would have very little ability (initially at least) to resist. You may even die - though we never did have a Hero die in the original RP (mainly because we didn't get too far).

I'm open to you playing a Hero. In fact...hmm. PM me. Pming you.

[Hael]

A hero becoming a God?

Very, very interesting. Should this happen, I can't wait to read it. I can't imagine Undasis will take kindly to a mere mortal attempting to ascend to Godhood, however, so expect a healthy bit of opposition on my part :)

Perhaps it's possible to steal divine essence from a god.

Like, perhaps God's have a sort of blood. If a very strong Hero were to harm a god and drink the blood, they would take in some of the God's powers and become divine themselves (or at least close to it). This way they have to be tough enough to harm a god (or be able to convince a god to harm themselves and give up some blood).

To make it so that not just anyone can achieve Godhood, we could say that the god-blood kills most mortals and, as such, only the strongest of heroes could consume god-blood and become a Demigod.

Perhaps not the best idea, but this is just from the top of my head.

[Cyclone]

I was thinking that since the hole down to the center of the Earth that Escre created has specifically been stated to be accessible for mortals, that might play in...

This reminds me of when I used to play RuneScape. In the lore, if a mortal manages to slay a god or sometimes simply steal a godly artifact (both incredibly difficult, needless to say) they become a god themselves.

@Cyclone

The Staff of Armadyl! Almighty Zamorak, God of Chaos, impaling the Empty Lord! You just brought back so many memories at that mention.

Vestec may even help you if you play nice enough with what he wants.

@Cyclone

I always felt sort of bad for Guthix. Screw Silske. He's basically the internet troll of Gods

Anyway, any type of ascension to Godhood that involves stealing something from the God's (god-blood, or perhaps something from the Astral plane) will invariably be super-interesting.

@Rtron

As a chaos god I'd imagine that Vestec would appreciate a god of pride and envy. Those two faults, combined with ambition and a disregard for others, would probably amount to a lot of chaos.

"You want to be a god? Promise you'll cause lots of Chaos and suffering? Really? Okay I'll help you. You can have some of my blood and I'll keep Escre occupied!" *Vestec giggles*

@Hael

I was a Guthix fan long before it was cool. Even back when they only had Sara, Zammy, and Guthix, and all were one-dimensional characters, I still have the Guthix altar in my damn house. But at the same time, Sliske has to be my favorite character, with Bandos a close second.

[Kho]

I guess this has just taken a very interesting turn very quickly xD

This is what happens when you have a God of Chaos. He likes making the other gods upset. :p

@Cyclone

I follow Lord Zamorak now, but back when it was just Sara, Zammy, and Guthix (the Fifth Age, as it's called in-game) I was always more for Guthix. Saradomin and Zamorak were too extreme for my liking, and Guthix seemed to actually care about the world.

FunFact: In the other RP me and you are in together, "Kal" is based largely off of Zamorak (ambitious, fiery and angry)

I played Runescape back in the olden days, before all the new stuff came in. It was the first MMO I ever played, actually. Heck, it was the first online game I ever played...

DANGIT, NOW I HAVE NOSTALIGIA!

*disappears for the next three days to play Runescape, is never heard from again*

Hmmm...if Vestec assists Cyclone in godhood, Undasis will not be pleased

[Cyclone]

@Hael

How would Undasis even know until it's too late? :P But back to the important topic:

They tried to make Zamorak not just the one-dimension evil guy that he once was. They failed miserably. Literally every single one of his followers (vampyres, werewolves, Kinshra, Mahjarrat, Butcher Demons, etc.) are unfathomably evil and all the lands that he controls turn into crap. Oh, and he also kind of blew up half of the entire map.

The people that want a pure evil god should have harkened to Bandos. He was both cool and unapologetically evil.

@Cyclone

I like Zamorak because he supports ambition, pushing for your dreams, and believing that conflict leads to greatness.

But, yeah, I agree that it's disappointing how evil they made him. He could have been a really interesting character, but instead the whole wilderness is basically demon-possessed and sucky because Zamorak got mad one day.

But, because of his unbridiled awesomeness, I still support him: I just wish they had done a better job at making him complex

[Cyclone]

@Hael

Armadyl is the one-dimensional idiot that I hate most of all. It's not even like they had to work with previous lore like with Zamorak. We knew almost nothing about Armadyl, and they just decide to make him an oversized do-good bird that is god of justice. Whoopee.
