They don't exist yet.

I still have to respond to all the stuff that's happened.

@Antarctic Termite

Oops, sorry. Forgot that. I'll edit that out.

<Snipped quote by BBeast>

Alright. Although I kinda want a first-gen Demi. Perhaps Teknall could predict that micro'ing civilizations would be a pretty difficult task, and make the demi earlier?

Also putting out a final call thing, if anyone wants to be the other parent of my Demi of Smithing, now would be a good time to say so.

@Skyrte

Teknall will make your demi when he deems it appropriate. If we get a mother then he can be born relatively early. But otherwise there will be a bit of waiting.
But what would a demigod of smithing do in the absence of civilisation, anyway?

Do you have a character sheet we could look at by any chance? It might help people make decisions.



As for life, I'm thinking of having Teknall create earth elementals, with the initial purpose of being a defence against the Ashlings. To generalise their purpose, their level of aggression would be proportional to violence of the target. So creatures like Ashlings, eldritch abominations out to consume the world and blood-thirsty predators would make them really mad, but docile creatures like most beasts and the White Giants would be left alone.

For sentient life, we all know what Teknall wants. Dwarves. Or at least a race functionally similar.

@BBeast

What, are the White Giants not good enough to battle against the Ashlings?

@BBeast

I was under the impression that Zeffy was going to make elementals, but you could always do something similar. Like, golems or something.

@Scarifar

I might contribute to the general "Screw you, Ashlings!" Effort once the collab post finally gets done. I said I'd protect life and Vestec goes creating a race meant specifically for destroying life.

[Mardox]

I'm thinking a counter-plague would be good. Just a thing in the blood where if an Ashling is trying to infect the creature, the Asking is instead cured and gains the counter-plague.

@Scarifar

The White Giants seem to be a close match for the Ashlings. They work, but they'll need some help if they want to succeed in the long run.

@Muttonhawk

Zephyrion is making air elementals. Teknall will be making earth elementals. Basically, they'll be magical constructs/creatures of stone and earth. They were originally going to be something like golems or galeb duhr, but I figured that Slough would eventually make living stone creatures when she passes through Teknall's territory, so why go for simple stone creatures? Give them earth magic, to let them glide through solid earth and stuff. I eventually realised that what I was basically making was an earth elemental.

They will still be very different to the air elementals in pretty much all regards. And I'll probably also pick a cooler name, with earth elemental being an alternative/common name.

[OldManWong]

Alright, I'm finally back and beginning my long game of catch-up. Took first in the 200 Medley Relay and the 200 Free Relay as well as 5th in 50 free individual and 3rd in 100 free individual, overall, we won conferences and some of us are going onto states! However, today, I will be spending my few hours of consciousness reading up on IC and OOC

That post is half done right now. Expect it up in an hour or so, with the first hero and the first truly intelligent "race", if they can be considered that.

@BBeast

Air elementals are going to be what he at first intends to create, but as you'll see when my post comes out, he does so in an unusual way...

Basically he uses a great deal of magic to animate the forces of nature. What this means is that though there will at first be only pure spirits of air and wind, upon dying they will be reincarnated not just as more Windy Bastards but also as living earth, living fire, storm elementals...

There will be a menagerie, or at least that was my plan. Teknall can attempt to protect/claim dominion over the earth ones, or just make something similar.

See, I was going to have a whole surprise subplot where the lesser elements rise up and rebel against Zephyrion and the tyranny of the sky, but now you've got me to spoil all of that!

@Cyclone

Yay, I assume they'll be a united community at first. Unless you spread them throughout the world.

@BBeast
I'm looking forward to your Earth Elementals.

name Recommendation

Urtelem

As for the idea of golems, if Rtron does go through with bringing the Zerkrain(can't remember, so throwing it upo anyway) and you have your dwarves in by then, you could teach them how to make golems of different types to help them combat the threat. This is, of course, if they both inhabit Teknall Range and fight over it.

@Cyclone

Okay. We'll keep the title of true elemental to your creations. I'll just refer to them by whatever proper name I decide on.

@BBeast

Alright, I can wait. I wanted to claim a mountain and work on a dorf fortress esque place, and a nomadic tribe of people would stumble on it, that's how that civilization would start. They would have ended up like dwarves. Pretty much.
I don't have a character sheet made yet, but I'll work on it tonight, expect it in something like... Six hours? Maybe four.

[Kangutso]

@Scarifar

So Niciel has not noticed the Ashlings roaming the world yet? You'd think with her wisps that she would, expecially since said wisp would likely have been attacked by one.

<,..,<

[Scarifar]

Should I make a cs for the species I have planned?

I think it's pretty obvious what I plan to make.

[Rtron]

Me and @Rtron have decided that we'll be creating a race as well, made from the joint powers of Chaos and Mind. They'll be probably the most human-like of all the races (at least in behavior), while also cunningly selfish. You can expect them to attempt manipulating the other races and even the Gods to their benefit.

Whether they'll succeed or not remains to be seen

@Hael

AND THEY WILL SERVE THE MIGHTY UNDATEC.

AS WILL ALL WHEN HE ARRIVES.

[Cyclone]

@Skyrte

I look forward to seeing your sheet. Now that we have an actual idea of what your character would be like, I'm sure most of us will be much more receptive to having your demigod be a child of one of our characters.

Who have you asked so far?

While it perhaps isn't the best fit, Zephyrion could be one parent of a demigod of smithing. It also helps that he's possibly on the best terms with Teknall after they built the Celestial Citadel together.

[Kangutso]

Heck, Kyre could even be a potential parent, Since metalworking/smithing has a strong involvement in war after the stone age.

On that Note, I hope we don't rapidly shift into medieval fantasy style warfare as quickly as the last iteration did.

@Kangutso

Considering Vestec has only created two, I don't know exactly how many really roam the planet right now.
