Care to enlighten us ignorant sobs? Oh wait, 1984 xDDDD

@Kho

It took you that long to figure it out, you uncultured swine bag?

[Cyclone]

Brave New World is one of my favorite dystopian works. You know, Huxley was good friends with Orwell and I recall reading some of the letters that they sent back and forth, debating on how the world would inevitably be ruined

I still prefer Animal Farm though. Something about it was just brilliant.

Get out, it's been ages since I read it, and my brain was still on the hype-hype train. (Note: rhyme :D)

Advert Notice By Order of BB: If you haven't read 1984, read it. Now.

XD You can't get rid of me! I am the Mind! I'm the force that allows you to think enough to read at all!

I was only kidding around before, though

[Double Capybara]

I'm a bit late for the hype, but still. HYPE

[Kangutso]

@Kangutso Nice, we were missing a god of War - I'm guessing, since you mention Honour, that s/he is going to be of a good alignment?

@Kho

Kyre is going to be of Neutral Good alignment, since war both chaotic and orderly, and neither. And even he believes their shouldn't be too much bloodshed.

It's the cover of an album by the same artist who did the song I'm using as my character theme. She goes all excessive when it comes to myth and stuff, its crazy but pretty. (Even my picture is taken from one of her albums tbh)

I tought it would be fitting since the song is about the creation of a world and stuff.

Kyre

Name:
Kyre

Alias:
The Great Combatant, Weapon Master, God of Combat, Warrior King, (more to come)

Gender:
Male

Domains/Portfolios:
War (Combat)

Domains/Portfolio Description:
War covers many things, from fighting, to strategy, to even some level of politics. Yes, politics and diplomacy play a part, if a small one. Kyre has knowledge and understanding of all aspects of war, and is capable of influencing them in different ways. It is also very possible of him to give knowledge or empowerment to beings that would give them greater understanding or power, such as strength, how best to use some terrain, and other such things.

Now combat is a bit more, okay much more specific, than war. As a portfolio, Kyre is able to take on other gods in such a fashion more easily than they can to him. He has understanding of any form of combat that a mortal con develop, as well as develops his own, and make new ones himself. He is always looking to improve himself further in this respect. His gifts can include increased power, speed, and the like, special weapons and armor.

Alignment:
Neutral Good

Personality:
He will enjoy war, but he won't relish it. He will watch it, he may participate, he could even end it himself. He will love combat, but not to the point of loving bloodshed. He will be calm, observant, and humble. He will be a confident and brave god, unafraid to stare down another should the need arise. He will respect others, even mortals, unless they earned his ire. Those who beg him to end a battle, even a war, may have earned a response. Should the chaos of war last too long, should it threaten the world, he will step in.

His domain is war, not bloodshed. It is his understanding of it that allows him to know when it is need, such as to keep the population from growing too large, or making war for a people's survival. And when it is not needed, when war is declared simply for one's amusement, when innocents are killed for the sake of killing. He will not always end a war, but he will never ignore one, even a battle, not even a skirmish.

A portfolio of combat, an art of its own. Those who pursue the art of combat may be watched, and those who do so in his name are observed. There are many forms of combat, all unique, all evolving. Strength is not everything, neither is speed, those being just pieces of a machine. The mind, that is the control, in the end it is what separates good warrior from great ones, and great warriors from legends. Those who have pursued the art of combat, whom have proved themselves in their path, may receive his blessing. But remember, combat does not always end in death.

Appearance:
Kyre takes on many forms in the presence of mortals, but all of said forms are a soldier or warrior of their technology, yet he will always have a sword or other melee weapon. His preferred form, though, is that of a suit of armor that is filled with energy, as though a visible aura has taken control of it. Another form taken is that of a statue, of any material, separated at every joint but connected by the same, color changing aura. Alternatively, he can take more subtle forms of beasts, though he only does then when he wishes to observe mortals more closely without revealing who he is.

Musical Theme:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnlHNXCPuPQ

Description:
Kyre can bee seen as patient and observant, in contrast to what his domain is. It is surprisingly difficult to make a fool of him. He gives off an aura of both wisdom and strength, yet a hint of withheld emotion. To other gods, he can view them as siblings, or as friends, his only enemies being those who earned such a view, or those he might clash with.

Astarte, Goddess of Magic

Name:
Astarte

Alias:
Goddess of the Soul

Gender:
Female.

Domains/Portfolios:
Magic (Soul Manipulation)

Domains/Portfolio Description:
The Domain of Magic, a Domain which holds many secrets and mysteries. A Domain which can both create and destroy, heal or injure. Astarte uses arcane energy to influence the world and her subjects, but her specialization lies in using such energy to manipulate the souls of mortals as she sees fit. She's able to take a mortal's soul and use it for various applications, and she's also able to unlock the mortal's potential, allowing them to harness the power of their own souls for their own benefit.

Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral. Astarte doesn't believe in the existence of good and evil and just goes after fun. She's aligned to nothing, something that makes her a dangerous person to start a relationship with.

Personality:
Astarte doesn't think much about herself, if at all. In her own words, she's just 'there', experiencing things and enjoying what life as a Goddess can offer her. She enjoys experiencing the mortals' entertainment forms and music and art frist-hand, and so her avatars can often be found in places like circuses, art exhibitions and sport events. To Astarte, nothing's more important than keeping occupied and having fun with what she's doing, sometimes going to extremes to achieve the latter. People who don't know her well will often say she's as inconsistent in her moods and actions as Magic is.

She often wonders how it would feel to be a mortal and go through the life she's provided for her creations. She gets somewhat lonely whenever she thinks of the topic.

Appearance:


Musical Theme:
Color the Sky

Description:
Astarte, the Goddess of Magic, is a strange Goddess. Basic manners work on her, often opening her up to being approached by even her worst enemy. She's also a romantic, a twisted romantic, that will grow obsessed with things she loves and will end up destroying or hurting them after trying to make them better due to her fun-seeking nature.

@Frettzo

Astarte appears to motivated in a similar fashion to Daegon. Perhaps an...alliance of sorts shall appear.

[Frettzo]

@Nevix, Perhaps! Though remember, she's pretty flimsy when it comes to alliances. One day she'll teach your creations how to shoot fire out of their palms and the next she'll make them fart lava xD

... Unless you bribe her with pretty stuff.

Ask @Hael for the details on that xD

[Kho]

Astarte was never a good girl. She was a bad girl from the start - and this proves it!

[Kangutso]

...No comments on mine?

Okay...

I'll just go in the corner now... *sits in corner*

@Kangutso

He seems like he'll be a centre-piece in the faction of 'Good' (can't use 'Order' now due to a certain god of Order...) and that's something I'm glad for

[Kangutso]

Oh great, center-piece, that means he'll have every good god on his back. Yay for being depended upon!

That is good to know when you are going to be playing the goddess of pretty stuff.

Such is the burden of the mighty, such is the responsibility which with great power comes...

@Kangutso

I'm interested in seeing how he might get along with Zephyrion, who is probably going to end up being one of the most quarrelsome and violent ones out there. I put chaotic neutral down for his alignment, but his hubris and short temper mean that he's willing to fight another god (or bring down some sort of apocalypse, in the case of mortals) over the smallest perceived insult.

In particular I wonder whether Kyre will take objection to that world that I want Zephyrion to make. Remember me talking about it?

...my idea was that it would be so screwed up that entropic forces are literally in the constant process of destroying it. The various "continents" would just be giant landmasses flying through an empty void of nothingness, literally floating islands. In the center would be a holy site that Zephyrion makes (or somebody else, or Zephyrion with the help of somebody else; it doesn't matter that much) that emanates some sort of orbs, or energy, or something like that. There isn't enough of the magical stuff for everyone. So all the nations/races/people on the different continents would be engaged in perpetual warfare as they try to claim that energy for themselves so that their entire continent isn't destroyed.

Basically it would be a great arena for the gods' minions to kill each other, for centuries on end, with their very existence hinging on victory being a pretty good motivator.

That idea for a world that I was talking about a day or two ago on that other thread

@Double Capybara

NO! The "pretty stuff" I had to give her was the soul of my greatest creation, trapped forever within a piece of mediocre fucking jewelry!

She may act cute but she's borderline satanic. Run now, run from Astarte while you still can.
