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

"Ah tu Brutis."

By far my favorite quote of history. The last words of the great Julius Caesar.

@LokiLeo789

You may have been joking, but I'm a nit-picking nerd and had to say that it's actually "Et tu, brute?"

EDIT: Also, there's not any real evidence those were his last words. That's what Shakespeare said they were, but if you research his life you'll find that William Shakespeare was more concerned with entertainment than accuracy. They might have been his last words, but the only thing we have to go on is that it was commonly believed in Shakespeare's day that he said it, and that throughout history most people have assumed he did.

It was also believed in Shakespeare's day that witches had extra tits they used to suckle demons

*Quickly edits*

I don't know what you talking about, I spelled that right. It could have been “Kai su, teknon?” (“You too, child?”). It wasn't like is was there...

I'm not entirely sure who is more of a reliable figure when it comes to Caesar's last words: a Dr in Wumbology or one who is not a Dr in Wumbology...or a 15th Century guy with a name like Shakespeare.

I mean, seriously...you couldn't find a better name? -.-

Pretty sure the guy who studied under the genius that is Patrick Star would know more that some 15th century play writer... come back when you get a degree from Dr.Star....good luck with that.

@LokiLeo789

That's Mr. Dr. Professor Patrick, to you!

[Frettzo]

It doesn't matter either way, words are just words. And Shakespeare is a pretty original name, you gotta admit.

@Hael

He is a... star fish of many names.

@Frettzo

Words carry meaning. In this case "Et Tu, Brute?" carries a strong feeling of betrayal. But if he didn't say it, than it implies he may not have felt as strong a sense of betrayal as we all assume he did, or that at least he didn't vocalize it.

Also, I'm a literature geek. Leave me to my corrections and arguments.

@Frettzo

Don't deny it's an original name. Being original is easy. Being cool AND original is a bit harder. I definitely think that if he went for something more like...Kho, it would be a visible improvement. Ahem.

(Disclaimer: I actually love Shakespeare for many reasons, regardless of the fact that the name 'Shakespeare' could be improved upon xP I think Shake Spear was the name of an undead zombie you could kill on a game I played many years ago...)

Edit: And I think 'Et tu, Brute?' is indeed a mighty quote. Just...woah

@Hael

Although I got that wrong, I'm a history guy, really onto mythology and Roman History. (those are not related)

@Kho

Oh, yes, those words are undeniably moving "And you, Brutus?". You can practically feel Ceasar's betrayal and surprise at seeing his own closest friend among his murderers.

I would love nothing more than to be able to believe for sure that he actually said that while Brutus plunged a dagger into him...but it could just be something made up over time, unfortunately D:

[Kho]

Indeed. I'm not sure how historically accurate it is, but for anyone with a love for history, Rome, Caesar or just a good series, Conn Iggulden's 'Emperor' series is a great read

@Kho

Probably gonna look into that. As for posting, I have, well I'm done. Next is editing, and as I look through my post, I basically used your post as a template for my own. What I'm concerned about is the words that Invictus uttered, is that for your character, or is it different for each of us. I just put: "You are become Reality, everything that has existed, exists, and will exist."

Just wanna get an understanding of what to put in my post.

@LokiLeo789

I like the idea that he said something different for each of us, but they followed the template of "You are become ____, "

I imagine Vestec would be "You are become death, destoyer of worlds"

[Kho]

@LokiLeo789 Hmm, that's an idea! Didn't think of it that way at all, I just had an urge to use an adaptation of 'I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' but I guess it does appear to apply more to Vowzra since he is the god of Creation. If you feel that having Invictus say something else to you is more fitting, go for it ;)
Maybe each god hears Invictus say what they want him to say, or he says to each what is most fitting.

In conclusion, go with your gut.

Edit: Sheex Hael, stop with your ninja stuff. I forbid it.

The best thing is that I don't have to use the Invisible Setting to get away with it
