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

[Cyclone]

So, still having trouble even starting my post on titanpad. I am at the point where i feel the need to ask:

Can someone give a me word/sentence to start with?(preferably the latter)

Kyre is currently on the moon, and all he can see from there on Galbar is the land being changed, both in form and color(spreading plant-life, new bodies of water).

@Kangutso

I'll give your request a go with an overly complicated sentence of mine. I like rocks and planets sometimes remind me of moss agates like this:



Ah, Galbar; what a barren, dull stone it had began, though through the works of his kindred Kyre watched it transform into something more akin to a magnificent jewel: the trees and life of Slough gave it the green luster of a moss agate, the mountains branched out like dendrite, and the oceans dotted the gem blue like specks of those sightly impurities that only furthered the stone's unique beauty.

Even if you don't use that sentence, consider comparing Galbar to a rock. Consider comparing anything to a rock, actually. Elaborate metaphors involving rocks make me happy.

[Kangutso]

@Kho, I am aware that Heroes are by default immortal. But I am also aware that Reathos is opposed to that idea IC'ly (this is correct, right, @Legion02?). To appease Reathos, I had plotted an alternative to immortality for the Hero which Gerrik will become (to be enacted once Reathos brings the immortality issue to Teknall's attention). Gerrik will train up an apprentice. Once they are ready, Gerrik will pass the mantle of Heroism to the apprentice (call him A). Gerrik will eventually die a natural death, while A carries on as the Hero. A will then pick up an apprentice, B, and once they are both ready B will be given the status (and powers) of Hero. A will live out the rest of their natural life and die, while B carries on the legacy, picking up an apprentice. The cycle repeats.

What do you think? Of course, only one individual can be the Hero at any one time. One advantage of this setup, aside from keeping Reathos happy, is that it prevents the Hero from stagnating, mentally and skill-wise, which is important since this Hero will be primarily an innovator. If we have just one individual who is 4000 years old, they'll get bogged down in the past, and be less willing to bring about change and innovation. The apprentice system ensures that fresh minds and ideas constantly flow.

This is rather unconventional, of course. So I shall await your judgment as GM.
@Legion02 What do you think of it, too?

@BBeast

<Snipped quote by BBeast>

It's original, rather brilliant, and I like it.

@Kho

I may or may not use the same idea.

@Kangutso If Vestec is training an army, it might be a good idea for the God of War to show his face. P.S. ninja'd. Have you tried walking the face of Galbar? Or visiting Zephyrion's palace in the sky? Maybe your War senses are tingling.

@BBeast

That will be covered, but only after I spend a bunch of might to make a holy site by ripping a spectacularlyswordshapedchunk out of the moon and drive it into a barren surface on Galbar. Also thinking about having him look for a god to speak with, might end up being Astarte since she's looking for entertainment and/or someone to play with(I think).

[Frettzo]

Also thinking about having him look for a god to speak with, might end up being Astarte since she's looking for entertainment and/or someone to play with(I think).

@Kangutso

Yeah, she's always looking for entertainment. Also, she'll probably swoon for Kyre once he teaches combat to the mortals.

[Kho]

@Kangutso

You dirty badger XDD haven't even looked at the universe and you're already targeting the ladies

Edit: ninja'd, a match made in heaven? Or hell, depending on whose asking

[Rtron]

Lifprasil is going to have a hard time doing any good in this world. Or finding any god that won't force him to hold his tongue.

@poog the pig

Vestec won't!

@Rtron, If Grot can pick up a Brush Beast in his hand and bite its head off, and we estimate Brush Beasts to be around 50-100m tall, then Grot comes out to be somewhere between 1 and 2 kilometers all.
We're going to need to rethink David and Goliath for this.

@BBeast

First, I support that neat idea of 'passing the powers on'

Second

ARE YOUR READY FOR THE BATTLE OF THE MILLENIA? GROT THE GIANT CHAOS CHAMPION OF FIRE AND MURDER VERSUUUUUUUUUUUUUS ANY AND ALL NON-GOD COMERS.

@Rtron

I made a meme for the Chosen/Forsaken Rovaick

@Hael

There we go! Now it's hilarious and makes sense!

Cause the normal Rovaick are like 'Haha, Vestec? That crazy bastard? He made us but he doesn't represent us PLEASE PUT AWAY YOUR SWORDS.'

So, still having trouble even starting my post on titanpad. I am at the point where i feel the need to ask:

@Kangutso

That evil snake bastard Vestec was at it again, Kyre could see. Creating an army in his foul plains.

....has anyone even read anything about Clarent? Anyone? Anyone at all?

@Dawnscroll

That first thing you had when you first introduced Logos to us in the OOC.

@poog the pig

Keriss shall be the Chaotic Anti-Chaos warrior who destroys Chaos through Chaos.

If the makes sense.

@Lauder

Vestec will be so proud.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW, WHO THE REAL FATHER IS. @Mardox

<Snipped quote by Kangutso>

Yeah, she's always looking for entertainment. Also, she'll probably swoon for Kyre once he teaches combat to the mortals.

@Frettzo

...Shouldn't she be swooning for Reathos or Vestec then? The former invented combat and the latter spread it to his little army.

Edit: ninja'd, a match made in heaven? Or hell, depending on whose asking

@Kho

NONE OF THE ABOVE, FOR VESTEC AND ASTARTE ARE MEANT TO BE.

[Kangutso]

Glorious. I admit to copying and pasting that as the start of my post.

@Kangutso

It was a dark and stormy night.

[Frettzo]

@Rtron, I didn't know Reathos and Vestec invented combat.

The first God who invites Astarte to watch a session of combat and actually participates in combat themselves will win the privilege of being Astarte's first crush xD

*Looks at Violence portfolio*

My, my, my.....

[Kangutso]

@Rtron, I didn't know Reathos and Vestec invented combat.

@Frettzo

Neither did I realize that...

That is effectively a slap to the face of Kyre, me thinks.

[Frettzo]

<Snipped quote by Frettzo>

@Kangutso

Just like the bunch of Gods pretending they can make effective magic without Astarte's help xD

[Rtron]

<Snipped quote by Frettzo>

@Kangutso

Vestec will claim he did if Kyre confronts him.

But he just showed it to the rest of his army after Reathos invented it.

[Mardox]

<Snipped quote by 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.

@Rtron

Challenge accepted! Chance against Chaos, Corruption against Trickery.

@poog the pig

Keriss shall be the Chaotic Anti-Chaos warrior who destroys Chaos through Chaos.

If the makes sense.

@Lauder

My child, the Trickster's House stands not for Order or Chaos but for balance.

Vestec will be so proud.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW, WHO THE REAL FATHER IS. @Mardox

@Rtron

Well, one could argue the real father is Serandor but Vakarlon shouldn't be pushed too far either.

Demoralization tactics from another RP I was in when put into play.

The two Vaalgradi armies begin their arduous march towards the Nastrondi territories, however morale quickly starts dropping in both armies as raids to their supply lines make food and other supplies diminish in numbers quickly.

Their morale is not spared during nighttime either as mad cackles and hysterical laughs are heard during the keeping the soldiers awake. Most dismiss these sounds as just wolves howling or madmen wandering around and try to sleep, however quick raids in their camps keep them awake... and even more importantly, tired.

During the day as they march on, they find Vaalgradi camps filled with the dead soldiers that died during the raids in positions suggesting that they would have fun... and what's worse a large and disturbing smile was carved into the faces of the dead victims.

After so many labors to go through, the Nastrondi armies finally meet them in combat, the Vaalgradi armies are husks of what they were when they first entered Nastrond.

In the Southern army the engagement is short-lived, as order during most of the Vaalgradi armies collapses after the first minutes of the engagement, leaving only Lord Highmall's bodyguard and the 2.000 Great Knights(Vaalgrad special units) to fight the army.

Most of them quickly fall, despite a valiant resistance and Lord Highmall is wounded and captured by the Nastrondi armies. The retreating shambles of the army are quickly hunted down and killed it captured.

As for the Western Army, the situation goes a bit differently, a lot of the regular troops collapse and retreat, again leaving the prince's bodyguard and the Great Knights to fight the Nastrondi army.

However, this time, a massive mound of stone, easily 5 meters tall joined the battle on the side of the Vaalgradi soldiers, covering the retreat of the other soldiers and allowing the prince to retreat along with the shambles of the army to a safe territory. After the retreat was covered, the stone golem just collapsed and turned to a stone pile yet again.

Even so, two armies have been defeated, one having been annihilated and the other completely broken apart. To add to the wounds, Lord Highmall was captured.

Western Front Result: Nastrond Victory

Casualties:

Vaalgard: 15.000 spearmen(10.000 routed), 15.000 swordsmen(8.000 routed), 10.000 cavalry(4.000 routed), 10.000 archers(8.000 routed), 2.000 Great Knights.

Nastrond: 1.000 spearmen, 800 swordsmen, 500 cavalry, 200 archers, 5 Devil Guardians.

Southern Front Result: Nastrond Decisive Victory

War of Dominion

I'm Nastrond BTW

[Vec]

I am 60% done with my plane creation post. I am drowning trying to balance SAT preparation, IRL and Internet life q.q

@Mardox

There was a challenge??

NONETHELESS

[Mardox]

Not so much a challenge as "Hey everybody! Look at me disrupting the precious balance of Galbar for my amusement and try to stop me if you feel like it!"
This is going to be a fun feud.

@Mardox

Ah.

Now I understand!

[Mardox]

Vakarlon's back story and personality would clarify his motives as to why he accepts such a challenge.
