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

[Cyclone]

These Urtelem bear a very close resemblance to Gorons

The Hain sort of remind me of Kokiri

Now Jvan just needs to mutate the crap out of an octopus and give us some Zoras, then I'll have one of my characters be like Ganondorf and Lifprasil can be Link. Hooray for !NOT! Zelda!

[Fabulous Knight]

@CycloneReathos could make the Redeads -- or an order that hunts them.

Julkofyr could have a hand in twisting the Twili.

Daegon the Gerudo.

Zephyrion would have a hand in transforming the Zora into the Ruto.

Vestec would provide the more...interesting enemies, I'm sure. Wallmasters sound like his thing.

Niciel would guide Zelda and Midna. Astarte would probably be goddess of the faeries.

I'm about 99% certain that Ganondorf would be a hero of Mammon. Zant too, possibly. The whole Twili origin story reeks of the Adversary.

[Cyclone]

@Fabulous Knight

I made Zephyrion for something to do for the first 10 pages of this RP, but like last time I intend for my main character to be a rogue hero. Trust me, he'll be a good enough Ganondorf ;p

[Dawnscroll]

The humans are going to nuke Galbar from orbit they're gonna take one look at the Fractal Sea and go "Nope".

I'm unsure if it has been decided that we're not developing humans on Galbar - if we haven't, then the hain will be an interesting species to play around with and evolve into various sub-species over a period of some 200,000 years. Though note that they are not very war-like and we are going to have to be mindful of that fact when playing their development.
For some reason, after reading the Urtelem sheet, I had the sudden notion that they seem like the kind of species that the hain would choose to develop around/stay near. That can protect them and also ensure that intelligent Ashlings don't develop xP

@Kho

Yeah, like I said on their sheet, they can change in culture as they develop. I'll make it clear now that the hain are definitely not pacifists, here's why:

The current technology level means that they won't be doing serious harm to one another until metal impact weapons and other means of cracking their shells are invented. Until then, their tendency to compromise is more by necessity. They do fight each other, but only when physically driving out a rival tribe is a more preferable option to others. This is more difficult than human on human stone age combat as hain have a much harder time killing or incapacitating others of their kind due to, as mentioned, their exoskeletons. In fact, when a hain is killed by another hain (normally an accident), it's such a rare occurrence that other hain tend to freak out and ostracise the culprit.

That said, hain are more collectively minded than humans tend to be. They prefer to work in a team for the good of the group rather than strike out on their own to win personal glory. This collective mindset is also present in their breeding habits and should bleed into ways in which they could develop. That's really the greater trait to keep in mind, apart from the knack for new ideas.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the hain would be definitely be suited to try to tame urtelem. They would know which were the tastiest rocks to feed them!

<Snipped quote by Muttonhawk>

Pretty soon I'm going to try to give them the small gift of body art, mostly by shell etching. Also a cult the earliest major artistic movements.

@Antarctic Termite

That sounds appropriate. I was actually wondering if a god or a sentient race would end up decorating white giants with cute paintings and other decorations as well.

[Frettzo]

Astarte will eventually seek Logos out to see what he's done, and when she sees the humans, she'll take a few of them and bring them to Galbar just to see their interactions with the crazy as hell species there. After a bit of conflict, she'll probably help them learn how to defend themselves properly.

@Legion02

Was picture-huntign and stumbled across something that you might really like for Reathos. It doesn't match your description quite perfectly, but this is one of the best paintings I've ever seen.

@Legion02, I was drawing, coincidentally, an Apex Predator character for an RP I'm GMing, and it kind of reminded me of your own Apex Predator species that you had planned. So I'm just throwing this out there in case you wanted a picture for them.

Being busy with school has almost distracted me from being hype for Lifprasil

[Fabulous Knight]

@MuttonhawkThere are non-metal weapons very capable of crushing hard surfaces. Adzes, macuahuitl, Fijian maces, stone maces -- they're all pre-metal, and all very good at getting through material. Would it be fair to say Hain had developed these kinds of weapons, at least for ritualised combat?

@Frettzo

Praeth volunteers himself as tribute because it seems like it'd be fun.

[Hael]

I might have to leave this RP again. It's just going way too fast for me.

[Fabulous Knight]

@HaelWe've started slowing down a lot. You'll probably be fine.

@Hael

Well you know, that's what summaries are for in the IC. Why don't you tough it out a little bit? If anything, I can drop you PMs when you ask giving a quick summarino of the events that have unfolded in the RP.

Plus if you leave I'm going to cry.

[Fabulous Knight]

@poog the pigHell, I practically live on those summaries.

That said, @Hael, if you don't want to RP -- don't. "No game is better than bad game".

But don't worry about your slow posting on our account. I don't think any of us mind intermittent posting. Belru and I've posted like twice.

@Cyclone

I'm using that as the True Form of my second Avatar. I can promise you that. Seriously that thing looks REALLY DAMN AWESOME!

It's okay, I didn't want to sleep anyway tonight. I'll accept those nightmares. But for real, it looks really damn cool.

@Hael

Your joining a second RP at the height of the HYPE in here makes me inclined to say you can handle this slowed pace that we're at ;p

Just give it a chance because you might regret withdrawing.

@Cyclone

Except I didn't join a second RP at all. :/ I showed interest in one, but never actually joined, because this RP overwhelmed me and I spent all my time here.

@Double Capybara

You misunderstand what I'm saying. It's not the posting speed that's a problem, it's my personal schedule and ability.

I'm going to stay in this RP for now, I'm just giving a warning that I might suddenly vanish for a very long time

[Fabulous Knight]

Uh, as a warning before I dump my ridiculously long post oh God I could have written my essays please save me, the Adversary is not meant to be evil. He operates on another level -- "good" and "evil" don't apply to him, because he's meant to test them.

I say this because he does a lot of evil things.
