[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

[Double Capybara]

<Snipped quote by Double Capybara>

You have until Monday for a reason xP
Why has seeing the other CS's made you feel like that btw? Is it because they all either lean one way or another?

@Kho

For example how does a Goddess of Beauty and the arts deals with "Cold Logic" or "Efficiency"
I'm pretty sure she can see beauty in the natural circle of things, but both imply avoiding superfluous stuff, and my goddess is often about the "futile" stuff.

That is why I'm saying I need to flesh her out a bit more.

Daegon

Reworked the CS a bit. How's it looking.

Name: Daegon

Alias: Prince of Lies, King of Thieves.

Gender: Male

Domain (Portfolio): Deceit (Psychological Manipulation)

Domain (Portfolio) Description: Daegon is the God of Deceit, more specifically, Psychological Manipulation. Psychological Manipulation being lies, shaming, guilt-tripping, hypnotism, anything and everything needed to bend someone’s will to suit his own goals. As a god of Deceit, thievery, trickery, mischief and the like are also well-known words in his vocabulary, but none so-much as Manipulation. That being said his unique powers stem from his natural penchant for shaping one’s mind. “If the mind is clay, then I am the potter.”, however, some clay is more malleable than others. Daegon realises that there are stronger beings than himself and adopts a more subtle strategy to further his own goals. Rather than attempt to convince someone to do something, Daegon might subliminally implant an idea in one’s mind, using suggestion, lies and sabotage to set up grand schemes that may take millennia to come to fruition.

Alignment: Chaotic

Personality: Daegon loves a good story. He cares not for trifling matters such as good or evil, only for the story. To him, all of the Gods and Goddess and their creations are just character’s in a story of which he is, if not the author, the editor. He sees events unfold and manipulates them to be more enthusing. He realises that without good or evil, order or chaos, truth or lies, there could be no conflict. A conflictless world is a boring world, and that’s something that Daegon just won’t tolerate.

Appearance: Daegon finds holding one form to be too honest. He chooses to constantly adopt new forms. He occasionally takes the standard form of another God, just to screw with people. His “true form”, which he only wears around his most trusted friends is that of shadows taking a vaguely humanoid shape.

True Form

When taking the form of a human, he typically chooses to take the form of a “magician”.

Usual Human Form

Musical Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvGSNHb5jy0

Description: Daegon’s presence is felt in the same way one might sense someone watching you as one sleeps. This stems from Daegon’s nature as a watcher, and when need be (as there often is.) a manipulator of events.

Concealment Level: 1
Detection Level: 1

@Kho

I suppose your Khool enough, but you khould be better than me.

@Lauder

This guys knows me. He actually knows me. Hey, you know me, keep doing whatever it is you're doing, because I like it xP

@Double Capybara

I'd say go with your gut, develop her in the direction you feel is best. But just note, one of the reasons I really like her is because I felt she'd be relevant to the lives of creations - what do they care for Chaos gods and gods of Change and whatnot? What really affects their lives directly is what they can see and feel, and a goddess who constantly encourages beauty and creativity gives some kind of purpose and fulfillment to their lives - she actually engages with them positively (and yes, negatively too, I can't deny those twisted tragedies she allows) and that makes all the difference.
She's your character though, flesh her out in which ever direction you please

@Dawnscroll That's a terrific CS, very well written; and that's one terrifying psycho you got right there! To think that the only thing worse than a god of Chaos would be a god of Order xDDDD my plans for balance have been foiled!

But I think he and Vowzra are going to be knocking their heads together quite a bit

@Kho

that is literally the first thing I thought about when i read his CS XD But im pretty sure Vowzra could overpower him.

[Lauder]

@Kho

[Kho]

@Nevix Couldn't help but think of the Devil when I read his Domain (Portfolio) o-o really has taken a turn for the more sinister, with a certain taste for discord it would seem

[Nevix]

@KhoYeah, I'm sort of basing him off of Jessica Jones's Kilgrave, one of the very few characters that gives me chills. That show is worth watching for David Tennant's performance as Kilgrave alone.

@Vec

Oooh, somebody actually siding with poor ol' Vowzie for once? Things have gotten that bad already? xDD
Yeah, Vowzra's web of 'Nothing happens except by the inescapable will of Fate' has a way of emerging victorious against all the odds xP but come, tell me how you think Vowzra could deal with this little upstart

[Mardox]

@Dawnscroll
Logos and Vakarlon will inevitably butt heads....

@Nevix

Hmm, I haven't seen it, but I know David Tennant to be a brilliant actor, definitely able to pull off something chilling and dark

[Kho]

@Lauder Hmm, I sense a certain level of undermining Glorious Me at play...my fingers are beginning to tingle and a certain fiery whip aches to be used...must...quell...rebellious...minions

[Nevix]

@Kho Kilgrave is fucked up man, he's got the power to basically make people want to follow his orders and things get pretty rapey at points. Thing that creeped me out the most is the time he forces a woman to play cello for three days straight.

[Mardox]

Don't you like the cello?

[Kho]

@Nevix The mortals in this game are a sad lot indeed if they have something like that as an overlord :| it definitely puts a twist on the level of control each player will actually have on their Hero's actions (obviously, you can't godmod, but there is only so much a (low-level) Hero can do when Daegon comes along and tells them, 'why not...kill everyone?'

"Uh, I won't kill everyone because...um...VESTEC OH MERCIFUL ONE PLEASE COME DOWN AND SAVE ME!"

@Kho

Creation is a very broad domain. The only way I see Vowzra being able to overpower Logos, what with him having a buttload of insane potential when it comes to battle prowess, is for him to incorporate the Space portfolio. That, along with his other portfolio, Time, could be combined to give Vowzra the ultimate control over all of the spacetime continuum and thus, with that, he could practically imprison any god into a different dimension or delete him from existence all together by locking them into an isolated plane and reversing time inside that plane, to the point where everything inside would simply revert back to where they were before the Big Bang.

Vowzra is one scary sob.

[Nevix]

@KhoBut Daegon sees mortals as characters in stories. To him, forcing a mortal to murder people isn't fun. Now somehow putting the idea that another nation is going to attack in the mind of a king, indirectly starting a war. That's far more interesting. He's not so much an overlord as a very convincing advisor.

Hero's God: Stop. Touching. My. Things.

*Hero's God blesses them with resistance to even mind rape*

Or, in Vestec's case: Go ahead. Have fun. Just keep causing chaos my friend!

@Nevix

I think that, overall, he's going to have a hellovalotta influence on what happens with gods and mortals alike. I'm looking forward to having Vowzra interacting with all these strange and never-before-encountered gods and domains
