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

[Hael]

@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.

@Cyclone

*looks at Ethan's character*
Alright, I'm joking, I'm joking.

Sarodomin is more 3-dimensional. He tried to be good, but he's just dripping with arrogance in controlling-attitude. I'm a little annoyed at how "catholic" his followers are obviously meant to be, but overall it's well-rounded.

Armadyl ain't that bad. He's stereotypical, but you can kinda see (if you squint) where his Goodness comes in contact with his obsession with Law, thus making him kinda Communist in his obsession with orderliness. He's all for Law and Reason, but would you really want to live under his rule?

I hate Sliske's personality, but you gotta pay the Devil his due in that his character is more complex than the others.

Oh, and two words: Brassica Prime.

EDIT: Kho, your thread has officially just turned into a Runescape discussion form.

Also, I don't think Undasis will know what has happened until, as you said, it's too late. But he won't be happy about it when he catches on.

[Kho]

I think Runescape needs Vowzra and a fire whip. A big, khollectors edition type fire whip.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS VESTEC. NOW THE BALANCE WILL BE DISRUPTED."

*Vestec giggles.*

"IT'S NOT FUNNY."

"It is when you remember I'm the god of Chaos!"

@Rtron

At that point, Kraken will be so seething with anger ("NO MERE MORTAL CAN ASCEND TO OUR LEVEL! THIS IS THE MOST HEINOUS ABOMINATION, AND IT MUST PERISH BEFORE IT CAN GROW LIKE A FUNGUS!) that he'll probably challenge Cyclone to combat, which Cyclone (being a newly-risen god) obviously couldn't handle.

I won't destroy him, of course, but I plan on maybe making it a plotline. Vestec could intercede on behalf of Cyclone and force Kraken to retreat or something.

[Venku]

If I don't post by tomorrow night just go onto the next round I am busy cause tomorrow is the last day to submit schoolwork.

[Cyclone]

Ialu (I think that's what I'll call him; any thoughts on that name?) would probably accept a challenge of personal combat out of pure arrogance. That is, unless he gets humbled along the way of his ascent.

He wouldn't play fair, though. He would come with some sort of treachery planned or trick up his sleeve, and using that he would try to beat the Kraken at its own game. That's probably Ialu's great weakness: he can't turn down a challenge. It will be rough for him.

@Cyclone

Kho once said that you have to be like 7 levels above someone to kill their God.

So Kraken probably couldn't kill Ialu if you pop in any time soon, but he will challenge Ialu and will beat the CRAP out of him with little effort (not bragging, it's just that Kraken will be many levels higher than you and you would have been newly risen)

If your okay with that when you do manage to ascend, then I'll probably do something like that. Kraken couldn't resist attacking you, I can't imagine any version of these events where he doesn't come down on you.

EDIT: Ialu sounds kinda feminine, so if it's a male character you may want to fix that. Unless it's one of the more gender-less gods, in which case go right ahead; the name is very pretty.

[Cyclone]

It's a masculine Egyptian name. I don't particularly think that it sounds feminine if you pronounce it sharply (ee-all-oo) but that's just me. It literally translates to "field of dreams", so if I go with the dream concept rather than pride I'll definitely choose it.

Are levels the only thing that determine the outcome of a fight? What would happen if you just spent 5 might to hurl a fireball or something at another god? That's enough power to create 5 planets, so I imagine it'd do something horrific

And speaking of might, I find it strange that one point can either create an entire planet or a mere continent. Some other things seem disproportional, too.

@Cyclone

What you can do with 1 might is proportional to your level and domain.

@Cyclone

Hmm? 1 Might for a planet? You might have misread. Creating a moon takes 1 Might, but a planet would be considerably more. Don't think I've ever told anyone how much Might it would take to create a planet.

And no, Levels are important when it comes to fights, but they are by no means the single or most important factor. This is all discussed in the OP ;P

@Cyclone

1 Might is just an estimate of how much power we used, I think, rather than the exact same amount. I would have like it more specific, though, but I think it's only to make things simple.

As for levels, you really need to go read the first OOC post in greater detail :D, it will answer all these questions.
Here, a quote from the first post:

If battles should become direct, and one god takes up the sword against another, then procedure will be much as above. However, in both cases the level of the gods involved must be taken into account, and so too must the amount of Might in play.
For instance, if we have a battle between the armies of a Level 5 and the armies of a Level 10, but the L5 army has ten heroes and is blessed and has various technologies, bringing the total Might spent on bringing about such an army to 15-18 Might, but the army of the L10 is made up of hundreds of Ug the Caveman's with absolutely no idea which is the sharp end of the stick and which isn't, then clearly, the Level 10 god, despite being a higher level, will be really hard-pressed. So such things must be taken into account.
With direct god battles, level plays a very major part, obviously, but so too does quality roleplaying. If the lower level god puts up a heroic fight and uses all the wit and power available, while the higher level merely plays on the fact that they are a higher level, the 'Forces that Be' may well step in.
For me, quality roleplaying and gripping writing trumps statistics any day. Keep that in mind.

Kho

Basically, Might is important but so is strategy and writing-skills

EDIT: Even if you could create a planet with one might (you can't, but you can create a medium-sized moon like I did) it would be barren to start with. A full planet with life, orbit, and so on would take lots more.

[Cyclone]

You guys calling me crazy?

1 Might: Creating huge landmasses or oceans; or stars and planets

Dat OP

It looks like something got changed along the way in the OP, because that little tidbit is still there.

Yeah I thought that levels weren't everything, it's just Hael made it sound like they were. In any case I'll have Ialu fight the Kraken or literally anybody else that challenges him directly. Even if he gets curb-stomped every time, he'll still keep showing up out of arrogance thinking that the next time will be his lucky one.

@Cyclone

One might doesn't create planets or stars, though. I don't believe Kho ever said how much might either of those take.

Ya, if you fight cleverly and well enough you can still beat my higher-level Kraken, it's just that it won't be easy. All the advantage will be on my side, and Kraken will probably try to lure Ialu into the ocean.

EDIT: Ah, I see now. I believe that was unintentional on behalf of Kho

[Kho]

Hmm, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Will edit.

[Kho]

1 Might: Creating huge landmasses or oceans; or stars and planets if a god is of the correct domain or above Level 5

@Kho

XD That makes more sense

[Hael]

Hey, since Might is now on the subject, what about Cyclone's questions of using Might in combat? Like combining tons of Might into a fireball or something. How much impact will that have on combat?

[Cyclone]

Speaking of domains and portfolios, where would pride, envy, and ambition even fall? I saw in the OOC that fear is specifically given as an example which made me figure that other emotions would work. But I'm now realizing that these can't be easily categorized and I have no idea what powers they would even entail.

I might just go with another concept.

Emotions could be a domain

@Cyclone

Emotion, maybe?

If you descend from a mortal, perhaps you can become the God of Mortals or Lesser Beings? Doesn't sound very impressive, sure, but it would be pretty powerful when screwing with other's creations or in fighting where mortals are used. It could be incredibly useful if you play your cards right and plan well, I think.
