[Cuccoruler]

Sorry I didn't do any of the mentions this time around.

Anyways I plan on doing a time skip of around a year soon, so let me know when you are prepared.

@Cuccoruler

For what purpose? Skipping time prevents us from establishing our characters and pursuing developments. It doesn't matter as much to me since Aforgomon isn't human, but the rest of you might be losing out on a lot.

It might seem unrealistic that big events for earth might happen in quick succession, but it might be better for us as writers, so things don't get incredibly disjointed.

Anyway, that's an idiot's two cents. Just a thought.

[Zelosse]

@Lugubrious I honestly do not mind the timeskips in this general concept of us being all gods. All of us, to the letter, are not involved with time unless we willingly place ourselves within it.
So the time skip is for earth years and to see what they have been doing

[rechonq]

I don't mind time skips as long as I can mention back to it. Landon is only 27 and will be 28 with this. He has only known that he is a god since he was 22. The draw of gods power is very alluring to him and basically all he cares about is getting stronger. So even his limited powers are growing very rapidly. He's still no where near Aforgomon in power without an order, but should he get an order he would probably be slightly more powerful than him. Which is why he did sense Aforgomon, but couldn't discerne what the feeling was. He is also smart so as long as he can prepare for situations in the time laps, then that's fine with me.

[Cuccoruler]

Why don't I put this to vote, I'll get up a survey real quick.

[Cuccoruler]

And here it is!

TimeSkip Survey

I will report on the results tomorrow.

[Zelosse]

@Cuccoruler Cucco go post in the ic in reply to meeeee I'm gettin antsyyyy

[ArkmageddonCat]

I suppose I've finished another god parent sheet, isn't as long as the other because a certain someone took extra long to write up. Next I'll get a child done, and then my next after that may be the last I'll care to do...for now...cause it's actually already done...but it contains spoilers for why my chars are doing what they're doing...before I'll be ready to do it...

Another Original God CS

Name: Aruuk
Gender: Male
Sphere of control: The Sun and light
Personality: Aruuk may spend much of his time alone, but he is still very sociable. Though he may be hesitant to speak, when he gets started he's hard to stop...though he still understands when to shut up.
Sacred animal: Sky Colossus (Giant flying jellyfish that survive by turning sunlight directly into the energy they need to survive, similar to a plant)
Powers: Can bend light to his will, and can wield the power of the sun in battle
Planet of origin: Vekta
Weapon(s): A bladed staff
History: Born from the Divine Essence with the other first generation Gods, Aruuk quickly took a shine to his position as God of the Sun. Though he soon realized that his position made him rather lonely, as his important duties often kept him from spending too much free time...and on top of that, it wasn't often that any of the other gods visited him. For hundreds upon thousands of years, Aruuk managed his duties in almost complete solitude...only mingling with the other gods a few times a year, while Owik(God of Space, Time, and Dimensions) and Kalu visited him a few additional times to "make certain that he was in good health, and in a good state of mind". These few interactions managed to sate Aruuk's appetite for socialization enough that he was not driven mad by the solitary nature of his work, and it was not until Eragn's betrayal that things began to get more lively for the Sun God. Aruuk participated in the war to fight Eragn, fighting fire with fire...but, in the end, Aruuk just became another suspect for betrayal.

Owik and Kalu increased the frequency of their visits, careful not to raise Aruuk's suspicion towards their true intentions...but the Sun God already knew, and didn't mind. All that really mattered to him was that he could socialize so much more than before, and wouldn't be as lonely. Eventually, when the second generation of gods came into existence, after Isaera was created and bound to Eragn, the Goddess of Fire and Rebirth would often spend her free time conversing with Aruuk...and not too long afterwards, the Goddess Kiwo, an alternate of Owik that traveled to this dimension from another, began to pay him regular visits as well, disguising herself as a simple Demigod.

Eventually Kiwo betrayed his trust, and set a trap to capture the Sun God and send him back to her dimension; where his light would be drained by the dark gods such as "Anti-Srah" and even his own alternate self. The Vekta of his home dimension was plunged into absolute darkness, while many of his fellow gods began to panic. Owik and Kalu, however, were some of the few who knew what was happening; and so they developed a plan. Owik then confronted Kiwo, challenging her to a duel...all the while trying to convince her to help, doubling as a distraction to keep her from realizing their plans. Meanwhile, as Owik kept Kiwo occupied, Kalu located Aruuk and started formulating a plan to free him from his bindings. A grueling, month-long battle broke out once Kalu was discovered by the "anti-gods, and before long the King of the Gods was struggling to defend Aruuk...much less himself. Drained of so much energy, Aruuk could only watch as the tides of battle slowly began to turn...as Kalu began to lose...and all the hope that Aruuk had been holding tightly onto for that entire month began to fade rapidly. That is, until Kiwo appeared beside him and set the Sun God free. Owik then appeared to aid Kalu in battle, bringing Srah(Goddess of Portals and the Void) with him as reinforcements. Kiwo restored Aruuk's power to him, and so the Sun God joined the fight; and with their combined might, they held the hostile gods at bay and granted Owik, Kiwo, and Srah enough time to safely transport everyone back home safely. Ever since that incident, Aruuk has come to appreciate having some time to himself.
Other: None

This one actually kinda got the half-ass treatment, and that's unfortunate.

@ArkmageddonCat

Everything looks fine to me, I say Accepted. However in the future when you have a history that large, please split it into separate paragraphs.

@Cuccoruler

...It was written on my phone, I couldn't make out how long it actually was. I'll do that now.

@Lugubrious -Thousands of miles! Take a stand, hold the land, make sure that everyone's ready to win!
Find the speed, all you need, team up for battle we fly...fly...
We fly.
Gravity hurts.

[Zelosse]

@Cuccoruler from what I gather you want Thalios as a representative of the underworld but without the obvious power that comes with the aspect of being ruler? Nay, could Hades himself be so effective without absolute dominion?
Others rule the continents and are set in their tasks. But all answer to the ruler of the Underworld and heed his command. All save the furies.
If flemming disagrees to that then he will invite true chaos into the hierarchy by removing a clear source of command and rulership.
Make the right choice lest the gods of death and chaos try to make a claim. Elect a ruler by name before the pantheon before anarchy sets.

@Zelosse

Only I make the chaos around here....

Anyways he would basically rule them as council head, if he has the influence to control them anyways, don't you know how politics work?
Just means he has to work a little to be a ruler, Flemmings isn't going to give him full control, just means that Thalios has to do a bit of blackmail if he wants full control.

[BlackPanther]

Well....the ruler of one underworld :P

[Zelosse]

Well....the ruler of one underworld :P

@BlackPanther

@Cuccoruler that's what I'm talking about, yo. No clear idea who's in charge of what sphere of influence. There needs to a crystal clear leader or the young pups start biting your ankles.
Only true power keeps them at bay
Or else what stops some other uppity merged from saying he is the true god of absolute justice?

[BlackPanther]

Alec is of the Egyptian one
Apologies if I wasn't clear enough on that...he cares not of the rest of it

[Zelosse]

@BlackPanther then you can rule the Egyptian continent of dead souls in the unified underworld. But you would still adhere to the word of the ruler of the underworld(s) or the merged pantheon.
With that said, the ruler would never bother the other continents without actually needing something of importance. We all got a job to do lol

Edit: I should state that the underworld isbabwell oiled machine. But it needs a clear ruler for when something goes WRONG. We will kill the child of Hades because he is ruler and thus takes blame.
So we need another ruler to take the blame in the future.

I just got back from watching Star Wars... I've been crying for the past half hour.
