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

*Everyone round on Lugu and demands that Outsiders be in some way used for their own purposes*

xDD poor Lugu and Escre, we all have plans and use you as stepping stones.

That just means Vestec will have to try really, really, hard.

Dragging one or two to his personal plane, constant corruption application, eventually they have to give in!

@Rtron

Yeah they would, but he'd need to learn about them and then capture them. Being outsiders, they are watchful, and don't deal passively to attention.

Kraken will be hunting outsiders violently when he gets to making avatars, @Lugubrious, so Escre may not be pleased to find a Cthulu-esque avatar of Kraken with like 300 Outsider eyes :D

@Hael

He'd have to get close enough to one to put it into his field of omniscience, which means crawling out of the ocean and finding some human settlements, then not leveling the whole thing in a quest to find a single being that's good at hiding and running. Of course, it's possible.

@Kho

It's not for nothing that Escre made a beeline for the core of the planet and starting spreading its power throughout the planet. If things start looking sour, Escre might just blow the joint. In the meantime, Escre's going to be working its hardest to consolidate its power, starting with my next post.

Seems like the only God who minds her own stuff is Astarte, the others are messing with everyone else xD

@Frettzo

Maybe that's why she's always bored :( she needs to come and mess with Vowzra's creations more - in a more helpful manner than turning ants into vicious little tentacled monstrosities xD

And Lugu, looking forward to reading your next post now :O

But Toby the Ant is much cuter now!

@Hael

Vestec will probably grab one or two...thousand.

@Rtron

Not possibru! The amount of outsiders is always less than 1% of the amount of humans, rounded up! To have just 1,000 outsiders in existence means at best that there will be 100,000 humans--needles in a haystack, indeed! And needles that know what you're up to and don't want to be found and look almost exactly like hay when disguised, to boot!

As badass as your evil gods are, Escre did not design a race of prey creatures.

@Lugubrious

Aren't all Gods omniscient to some degree? Thus, Vestec should be able to find them fairly easily. Unless Escre gives them protection from Godsight that is. And besides, it doesn't matter how fast you run, or what you do when you're a mere mortal being not even a hero. A God is always better, period. Faster, stronger, more perceptive, the list goes on.

@Lugubrious

Shhh.

Don't break our illusions.

[Kho]

I think that Lugu has given them the ability to hide their presence, something gods are capable of doing and so could probably be imbued in mortal beings too (though outsiders have an infinite lifespan). Of course, they're not undetectable, gods just won't be able to sense them as easily, unless they are attuned to that sort of thing.

Ah, now it makes sense. :p

@Rtron

A deity has the capability of, at any time, knowing all things within their vicinity, including thoughts, feelings, holy sites and other gods

That's from the OP. Only Arguis has real omniscience, the rest have it based on proximity.

Outsiders don't have innate magical protections against being found with omniscience. It's just knowing they're there to get close enough for it to be of use is the hard part. Once found, outsiders' ability to 'see' can help them see through any godly ruses and also help them to escape. Once caught, outsiders have resistance against being changed.

[Cyclone]

I'm admittedly really confused about Arguis. His first post made it seem like his powers were much more limited, where he could just think of something and instantly get the answer but not simply be aware of literally everything that there is to know and process all of this information at once. It was also mentioned that he could know some things, yet still not understand them, which further reinforced that interpretation.

Yet I've heard people refer to him as literally omniscient, as in he knows about literally everything that's going on. That seems OP to the point of absurdity, as he'd be impossible to beat in any way. There could be no hiding or disguising anything, and knowing everything would also imply that he knows the thoughts of others and could therefore dodge or counter any attack as he'd see it coming.

@Lugubrious

From the sound of it, the best way would be to just subtly invade human settlements with a population of over 100 (thus meaning that there's a good chance one is an outsider) and wait till you since an outsider.

Once you do since him, just take him. I don't really need a "godly ruse", if an outsider is discovered I can just take it with my divine powers. The only problem is finding one. Once they're found, all you have to do is scoop 'em up.

@Cyclone

What Cyclone said. I'm also confused about Arguis's omniscience, as he seems to just be exactly as all-knowing as he needs to be. Unless there's some real restrictions placed and defined, I think Arguis is OP.

[Kho]

Hmm? Lok hasn't done anything to suggest he is completely omniscient. He is only 'nigh' omniscient. He knows a lot and can know a lot, but not everything. Like Vowzra for instance, who knows a limited amount of futures, but not all of them (Escre took him by surprise twice).
If others have misinterpreted Arguis' omniscience then that is a separate issue.

But on that point, do you have any specific things Arguis has done or said which would imply he is OP or straying beyond his power?

[Cyclone]

No. As I said, his actual posts implied otherwise. It's just that he's been repeatedly referrred to as omniscient by people in this OOC, and nobody seemed to bat an eye at it.
