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

[Muttonhawk]

I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting. Are you asking whether you can post about events that happen in-game before when your collab with Termite is set? I wouldn't object if Termite's fine with it as the only obvious affected party. I'm no GM, though.

Unrelated:
So, I just spent a short time screwing around in GIMP to make signatures for the gods on the Oath of Stilldeath. Feel free to make your own if you wish. The mockingbird for Astarte was just some borrowed symbolism. The others are fairly self-explanatory.

@LokiLeo789 Well, take care to not meta game, Amartia has no idea of what is being brewed on the capital, any army he builds would be on the topic of offense and helping out Logos, no?
In that topic, "Xerxes is fast" along with "Sin Auto-Win" are jokes about how fast and powerful Amartia is but are by no means compliments, so stay within what is reasonable.

Also, uh, since Ilunabar was spying on the whole ordeal trough having access to the palace, she just got the info that Amartia is allied with Logos. I have been waiting until Amartia returns to Xerxes as it would be a bit overkill to do it while he is walking around, but once he returns, I will have Ilunabar moving into action, and it will take place before the knights arrive, so it will probably happen while Amartia is preparing, which is trough luck.

This will probably have to be a collab between us as I would prefer to let Amartia know what is going on and maybe a chance of diplomacy instead of just letting the first wave of cultural backlash hit him. Basically, if Amartia was Japan this would be a choice between Americans arriving with Commodore Perry and Americans arriving with Little Boy.

@Double Capybara

The look on his face will be as rich as cream and troughle.

Edit to prevent a double post: I'm finally caught up IC again. Hey @Rtron, how did Vestec find out that Amartia's bent his knee to Logos? Has he been keeping an eye on his kids without telling us?

[Kho]

And BBeast

Vestec recent turned the rest of Reathos' remains into a mountainous Holy Site in the south pole. In doing this, he destroyed what was left of the Pronobii and also flooded most of the terrain south of the main oceans.

@BBeast

There are Pronobii amongst the Victors. I guess they're the only remaining ones.

@Double Capybara

Aye aye. Not much I have to say to that. While Amartía is expecting an attack, probably won't be expecting your nasty Predator armor. After the collab we can collab the "meeting". Probaly slot it in duing prep.

Your nasty Predator armor.

@LokiLeo789

To be honest, Ilunabar didn't help out with the Alefprian Power Rangers and won't like them too much at first. So if things go wary, point fingers at Niciel and Astarte and Jvan (if you know how to point fingers in a non-euclidean way).

And yeah, a slot in the preparation phase would be ideal. Btw: Does Amartia consider Vestec his papa?

Not really. He's kinda like his sperm doner. Lemme finsh the first part up and ill throw you a Pad.

For an accurate representation of how the strongest Astartian Magic works, look at Mob Psycho 100. I'm surprised they're so alike. Before anyone says I copied them, consider how new the show is and how long Astartian Magic's been around for xD Of course, the basic mechanics of Astartian Magic are completely different, but the end result of those mechanics are pretty much what you'll see in the hiders.

Huge spoilers down below, for anyone planning to watch the show.

common Astartian Magic

Look at the woman for an example of the most common application for AM

Unheard of but possible AM

This is when the user's willpower is so strong that they can manipulate and bend reality. It's no wonder why this kind of Astartian Magic is unheard of. Even the strongest users as of now barely reach this level of power, those being the Cosmic Knights, and even then whether they use this kind of magic depends on their personality, willpower and circumstances.

[lif]

Keep in mind guys, that all the thing I write function to advance plot, and the writing opportunities in Divinus. So, in the broader scheme of things, Cosmic Knights aren't weapons, but characters that can be written. I should mention that they have their own will, which transcends Sin Auto-Win, and Lifprasil's emotional control; otherwise they wouldn't be so powerful. So they aren't firmly tied to a military life, they may be exceedingly powerful, but as Astarte willed it, they also enjoy gardening. So if anyone wants to, they can play a Cosmic Knight freely.

In a sense, they're meant to be the first mortals that are even above the sway of the gods.

[Dawnscroll]

To be honest, Ilunabar didn't help out with the Alefprian Power Rangers

@Double Capybara

Funny, this is exactly as I saw them as. This should be interesting. I intend for Logos to return home with only a few dozen of the Realta anyway. Although fun fact; damaged Realta, or their components, can be melted down and re-purposed. The alloy, whose properties have yet to be determined or even considered by me, is probably unlike anything on Galbar. The Realta borrow ALOT of falling star imagery, and one popular theme in fantasy is "weapons forged out of the metal of a fallen star".

In other words, nya-nya I just made this game's Valyrian Steel. XD

"Now I, Lifprasil, Emperor of Alefpria, have declared war on Logos," said Lifprasil, hovering down to the center of the three monsters he had just created.

"Very Good," the deity acknowledged with a nod from the stillness of his crystal forest. "Then I, the God of Kings, accept your challenge and your rebellion." He rose, his white ethereal wings spreading to their full expanse. "Bring to me all that you are and will be. I alone will judge your guilt and your victory."

Dawnscroll would like to just make note here; Xerxes is on its own. Logos entered into a pact and covenant with them. But that is a two way street, and Logos has yet to see any return on his investment. His mentality with this is going to be, "I have given Amartia the tools he needs. It is up to him to use them." An attack on Xerxes IS going to grab his attention, without a doubt. But you're sorta asking Logos to do the opposite of what he's about. Logos can go toe to toe with deities, he can give audiences to demis... but if none of you have figured out even the fundamentals of his Natural Order (and if you have, don't spoil it to the others), than I can't help you. Xerxes MIGHT get the help of a passing few Realta, especially since the Cosmic Knights have some Jvanic influence in them, but thats it.

Also, need to finish collab with Jvan, do the collab with Teknall... which by the way, any objection to Toun also entering the collab for Teknall?

Side note, Logos has Order (Physics), will be claiming Order (Subjugation) soon... but beyond that, I can't think of any good domains for him. Order (Law)? The hell could he even do with something like that?

[Kho]

<Snipped quote by Double Capybara>

@Dawnscroll

Yo kiddin'? What can one do with power over one of the two types of Being? Oh, I dunno...@-@

[Double Capybara]

@Dawnscroll There is also the Ilunabar stuff.

On the subject of domains... EH. If you are completely lacking anything new to pick you could always do what I suggested with Amartia and pick Domains that are already kinda covered by a port but not really (Like, idk, Physics > Gravity/Balance/Entropy...). I myself will probably start to do the same, like Jewelry and Gemstones or Glass, Mirrors and Crystals or Song, Singing, Rythm and Music. Or Flora and Flowers if I ever manage to reach the point where I can take a second or third domain (nature).

Other order stuff... Hmm. Order Law, in my vision of it, would just mean Logos is extra good with law making and stuff, sounds silly when throwing it at others, but when interacting with mortals it gets its booms. Kinda what Ilunabar got with Aesthetic: An excuse to explain why mortals under her influence are so goddamn fashionable.

So, in that sense, think more about what belongs to Logos than about what is useful. (Don't claim everything, please ;-;)

[LokiLeo789]

Anyone have a name idea for a fantastic crystal metal alloy? Can't think of one on the spot.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

You guys and your glass portfolios and stuff. Meanwhile, here I am "My next portfolio will be divinity". Gonna know the most about how divine beings work, yo.

[Double Capybara]

@LokiLeo789 Crystal Met...

Alternatively: fantasynamegenerators.com/metal_names...

[Vec]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow How would that Knowledge (Divinity) work exactly? I mean, there are a lot of things that have yet to be canonised, so I dunno...

[lif]

@Dawnscroll

Oh boy, now Xerxes is on its own.

Anyway, let's see how long the city will last against reality-bending superhumans.

[Dawnscroll]

@poog the pig Logos literally gave Amartia a powerup, and a stone that allows one to amplify the laws of Physics as the user sees fit. If he can't come up with an original way to save his city, I hate to say it, then Logos has no use for inferior tools.

@Kho I'm being dead serious. Because I was planning on Logos giving civilization, monarchy, order and hierarchy to Arcon. More divinely inspired stuff though. But once I had the portfolio, I'm trying to think or actual uses for it...

@LokiLeo789

I have to ask, how will Amartia make the proper preparations without even knowing if he's going to be attacked? More or less prepare for what's coming.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Vec Y'know, I'm not really sure. I've got a lot of ideas that could benefit from that portfolio, though.
