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

[Kho]

@Antarctic Termite I don't day this often: but that most recent post? That was sexy. Twisting Notte's mind for Elysium, finding Arcon in a way Logos could approve, even name dropping the Realta there. Thumbs up from me.

Expect Logos to have a chat with a certain.goddeas about air dropping a giant fucking ant though.

@Kho TWO?! I thought there was just the ant? How the hell do you communicate with this thing anyway?

So, has Elysium suddenly become the trophy wife? Allure, Lipfrasil, Notte. At this point, Logos is going to give you 12 trials for her hand. You all know she's not a demigod, right? Just a Realta of flesh.

@Dawnscroll

Well, Toby just went all-out paratrooper and crossed most of the known universe to come and hang with Logos and Ely, and the other character (well, its a stone age human family) that I've hinted to you about will come about soon. Just as soon as I've finished this essay.
Just to check, Arconian humans have fire and community - anything else at all? However small you may think it. How developed is their language? Do they paint? Do they hunt with spears or is it still the 'bash things with rock' stage? Are they all butt-naked?

Edit: and you communicate with it by using its language xPP basically, ants communicate in three main ways: using pheromones, clicking their mandibles, and rubbing a part of their gaster (or sometimes their hindlegs) against a part of their petiole, making a sound similar to running a stick against a comb. These sounds can differ greatly and mean a variety of things - scientists are still exploring exactly how sophisticated 'ant language' is. It was previously thought that the sounds they made were purely warnings/alarm bells, but recent discoveries suggest that there are different sounds that have differing meanings. It's really quite amazing.

dafuq is this gaster petiole thing?

[Dawnscroll]

Fire and community. Cave paintings have been mentioned, and they have a rather decent language though words are often used in combination to create other words.

Rain - Water From Sky
River - Winding Water
Ocean - Big Water

Get creative. Based on the climate, they used animals skins and pelt foe rudimentary clothing. Groups of humans range from as few at ten to as many as eighty. It's still early population numbers. Diet is still hunter gatherer, and they hunt with spears but my.next post has Ely introducing bows to them. The greatest threats atm to the humans are bears and mountain lions.

Ely is very active with all of them though, visiting each group from time to time. She participates in the hunts, the gathering, the cooking, the tanning, even the nurturing of children. She is seen as a good spirit by the humans and to speak ill of her to others or to act against is believed to being bad fortune on the tribe. She'll stay for a few weeks before moving onto the next group.

Two tribes could be in pitched battle, and the moment Ely set foot into view they would freeze, winner and loser, lest any harm came to her. She will never say anything against the fighting or make move to stop it, or support one side over another.

Logos is essentially unknown to them.

@Antarctic Termite I'm assuming that the First Sculptor is not a hero. If it is, let me know.

[Dawnscroll]

@Kho Also, I should be thrilled I didn't make the dinosaurs first... Toby's ding could be an extinction level event.

...how the hell is he even going to survive impact, let alone the Realta?

@Dawnscroll

I was thinking about that very problem, and I was convinced that Toby was going to be pulverised. But genius has struck and I know just the thing. To survive the impact, that is. I've no idea how she's going to go about escaping the wrath of the thousands of Realta :\

Also, despite the fact that we don't know whether they have souls, I'm to going to assume that Arconian humans have developed emotions. Even if they hadn't before, I think Lifprasil's birth should do the trick.

[Dawnscroll]

@Kho Literal massive discussion about what Love is before Lipfrasil was born. Logos gave them emotions amongst his creations. Even the Realta have them to an extent.

Vowzra might need to cut a deal with Logos to save his hero...

[Double Capybara]

@Dawnscroll Implying Vowzra won't just summon za warudo

@Dawnscroll

Lifprasil is only capable of existing with the presence of sentient life to give him substance and meaning. Without emotion in the universe Lifprasil will more likely than not return to nothing - having no purpose.

Isn't Notte like an extension of a god or something? I could be wrong, but they're just a puppet.

@poog the pig

Ilunabar, being the a goddess of stories, has slightly different avatars. They're more like independent 'characters' she has created, with distinctly different personalities from her

@Kho

What is the point of an avatar? The way I see it, the only conceivable use for them is to be somewhere the deity is not, but sense Gods can teleport across the world or universe in an instant, even that ability is almost entirely useless except for in the most rare of situations.

@Hael

You know what the point of an avatar is. Even though we tweaked the rules so the presence of a god doesn't cause an apocalypse, they still have plenty of uses - particularly for reclusive gods like Vowzra

@Hael

I think you miss the point of the immortal game. Why does Logos wield a sword when be can just blink and obliterate foes. Why does Vestec need an army when his mere.presence can drive Any foe insane.

Because it would be cheating otherwise. It would be boring. And if immortality is a game then it had better be an entertaining one to play.

I... I really don't, though :'(

@Dawnscroll

That explanation makes sense. I still see many more creative and interesting ways of doing anything an Avatar could do, though. But I suppose it's up to personal opinion- for me, Avatars seem incredibly boring and shamelessly uncreative, except for maybe those of Illunabar, since they have a personality.

Seconded.

@Hael
Avatars will be useful once mortals are common and you need to interact with them. Furthermore, they are pretty shape-flexible and you can set them to do tasks for all eternity. Furthermore, heroes can stray from their gods, Avatars are eternally bound.

@Double Capybara

I can think of a million more creative and interesting ways to do any of those things. Avatars just seem so... dull, you know?

With the exception of yours, of course- they have the added bonus of their own personalities, which makes them far better than other Avatars.

But like I said, it's a personal opinion.

[Rtron]

@Rtron ...we're going to have to find a nice multidimensional tesseract to seal you away, huh?

Genuinely curious: other than harass stone age hain, what exactly can you even do with that army? It seems like an invading force, but there's no target and no real foe to fight.

@Dawnscroll

Vestec's purpose is simple. Cause as much violence and havoc as possible, see which Gods respond, and then see what opportunities he's created with this assault.

Please tell me you'll be creating an Order of Chaos.

The irony would be hilarious! Only Vestec would do it

Let's be honest, he probably will do it
