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

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

Luckily I got the fuck out of the sin train before it choo choo'd its way to party town (party town being horrific levels of godly smiting upon the poor souls of Xerxes)

[Kho]

<Snipped quote by Kho>

Vestec will be very angry. Sin is gone, Amestria is not.

Yet at least.

@Rtron

Ah...
ah.
But...all the bad guys already got murdered? *is trying to avoid Sodom and Gomorrah-level smiting*

Edit: I mean, they got taken down by some hippie singing some tunes and his pals, it can't get much worse, right?

@Kho

You think Vestec cares if anyone is innocent in that city?

Ha.

Haha.

Hahaha.

@Rtron

It's not just the city btw. There's also the big pyramid and all the other settlements all around that general area of the map. There's probably Rovaick and goblins and stuff digging underneath as well, so don't forge-

Uh, don't kill them all.
I'm not pointing out any of this stuff so that you don't miss any of them or anything.

[Double Capybara]

Ilunabar was messing up with Xerxes before it was cool.

Though if I knew things would come to this I would have gone harder and continued with my idea of having Makeda crusading around.

@Double Capybara

Vestec will come calling

[LokiLeo789]

Amartía has made it abundantly clear that he hates all gods. (Except Jvan) Sin has long since known that Xerxes would be the site of godly hate, but this only proves his point, and all you gods are only lowering yourselves to his level. Gods meddling knows no bounds, and now he has an opportunity to preach that to the rest of the world.

Well, I know what I'm going to to if Amestris is destroyed. He hitting godhood to.

@LokiLeo789

...It's Vestec.

You're not gonna preach anything the world already doesn't know.

'VESTEC SANK TO MY LEVEL. HE IS A MEDDLING BASTARD.'

"..Dude. Have you paid any attention to recent history at all?"

[Double Capybara]

Wait, wasn't the Bard post a collab?

@Rtron

Actually, that only workd against Vestec in the future. Could you imagine if soon, the gods lives relied on the amount of worshippers they had? And no doubt you gods are meddling, hypocritical bastards who feel that they need to jump in when thier feelings are hurt. Am I wrong?

@LokiLeo789

Vowzra's feelings weren't hurt. Vowzra doesn't have feelings ._. i swear

[Kho]

@Double Capybara

Hmm? Yeah, it was. Why? Did someone say it wasn't?

[Double Capybara]

@Kho Ah, nothing then. It just felt odd.

@LokiLeo789

Well...
>Vestec has his hordes
>Niciel has her angels
>Jvan her kids
>Teknall the chippers and crafters
>Ilunabar the culturati
The list goes on, but even then, I believe most gods would be in a comfy position.

And no doubt you gods are meddling, hypocritical bastards who feel that they need to jump in when thier feelings are hurt. Am I wrong?

@LokiLeo789

Well, if someone has a big stick you don't go around calling them silly until you know how to Davi their Goliath. Instead you hide under your bed with 12 might spent on conceal.

And technically, on Ilunabar's case, she perceived Amartia as the one meddling on her Pierian quest. Especially what she perceived as the transmogrification of the perfectly fine "pride" into evil sins.

Doesn't make her less hypocritical I guess.

[Kho]

@Kho Ah, nothing then. It just felt odd.

@Double Capybara

In what way do you mean?

[Double Capybara]

@Kho It was nothing, some stuff said made me think of it as a whip of fire moment for a second. But I was wrong.

@Double Capybara

Naah, no fire whips for poor Sin xP
It was more to get him out of there after the Astarte events ('cause all the Vestecs of the world will be after him) and also to bring Amestria back a notch and let everyone else catch up technologically before he returns and starts building up again
Also to introduce the Vowzra's Victors more solidly and further expand on Bard's role on Chronos and relationship with the Victors. It's also feels kinda nice to have Sin locked up in the Cube :)

[Kho]

And then that magic. Giving Lif and pals some time before Sin trains up his 5th Element using armies :|

@LokiLeo789

...I'm not seeing your point.

Vestec IS a meddling bastard. Everyone knows this. He jumps in whenever he wants too.

As for the worshippers...well, Vestec gives people who feel powerless power. And corrupts. Worshippers won't be a problem.

[BBeast]

Well, a lot happened. And here I am returning to uni such that I'll have ever-decreasing time to spend on this.

Some day I'll catch up, and have Teknall and co. do things that are relevant to plot points which didn't arise 3 months ago.

@LokiLeo789, and all else concerned, Re Magic and 5th Element. Last I checked, the aether (5th element) was not a fundamental part of the Universe. Have you checked the Codex, the document upon which the entire Universe is based? Might be a good read.

The Codex of Creation, courtesy of BBeast

The Codex of Creation

Recorded here are all the additions to the Codex of Creation, and their authors, such that knowledge of the Codex may carry on for all eternity.

From the memory and trial of Logos, as transcribed by Teknall, Order, and the Laws of Physics upon which all else is built upon.

By the hand of Teknall, the elements Adamantine, Mithral and Orichalcum.

By the hand of Toun, suitability for life.

From the scrawls of Vestec, impossible and ridiculous distortions of some objects.
By the amendment of Teknall, at the command of Logos, bounds upon the chaotic variations.

By the editing of Vulamera, unity of the Codex, so it would work as one.

By the hand of the Adversary, the occult, magic inherent to objects, materials and rituals.

By the hand of Vakarlon, luck and chance.

By the touch of Julkofyr, emptiness, and uncertainty at the quantum level.

By the mark of Zephyrion, reactivity of gases.

By the breath of Zephyrion, Change, such that the Universe will always be dynamic and even the Codex is not inert.

By the hand of Niciel, a bit of purity.

By the mark of Astarte, her own magical essence, a wild kind of magic which will suffuse the Universe.

From the touch of Slough, universal palatability for life.

By the hand of Belruarc, arcane, lawful magic.

By the mark of Jvan, the Other, life existing outside the Laws of Physics.
By the amendment of Teknall, at the command of Logos, imprisonment in the Gap, keeping the Other outside the Universe unless freed.

From the efforts of Toun, vain attempts at perfection.

By the touch of Ull'Yang, stellar evolution, and unity.

From the defiance of Julkofyr, the Orbs of Darkness.

By the power of Kyre, resilience for the Codex.

By the power of Vulamera, mind, intelligence and sentience.

By the will of Vowzra, something inscrutable, unknowable until the Time has come.

By the irrevocable word of Fate and unmatched power of Amul'Sharar, many things, incomprehensible to all.

And all these things were written into the Codex, and by the will of Fate the Codex was written into the Universe and the Universe was born in a Shattering Disunity.

Recorded here are creations made separate from the Codex, yet still form a fundamental part of the World. They are written here such that they may not be forgotten.

From the essence of Reathos, the Primordial Pool, the plane in which all souls go when they die, and is part of the cycle of Life and Death.

From the creativity of Illunbar, the Dreamweaver, a magical harp with the power of dreams.

It is through all these things that the World was made. Thus it was Fated. Thus it has been.

Among other things, Teknall would laugh at you if you told him the Universe was comprised of the four/five elements devised by the Greeks. (Speaking of which, who on Galbar has actually spent the time to sit down and invent the idea of the 5th element? I don't think philosophers are around yet)

Anyway, I'm sure you've figured stuff out. I'm just sceptical as to your proposed magic's compatibility with the Universe.

@Muttonhawk, small detail- Vulamera has been spending all her time on her moon, not anywhere on Galbar. That moon (I think it was Cogitare) would have been where Vulamera's death took place, not some grassy field on Galbar.

@BBeast

The scene that Kho described was...well, he didn't describe it. I just took a bit of artistic license. I don't think it really changes anything substantial.
