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

[Double Capybara]

@Vec

Thanks a lot matey! I have been searching on deviantart, and it has been a bit hard. As you sad, no headdress narrows it down quite a lot.

My Hider

The red one pretty damn close to my idea with the exception of a few details. The white one was just very pretty and will surely be used for reference too.

A lot of others also worked for inspiration and I saved quite a few. Sadly I can't elaborate a lot right now otherwise I might start thinking about a character who will just show up when I have 32 might to spare.

[Vec]

@Double Capybara I dunno. Might donations have not been explored yet I think so there's that ...

Jvan doesn't count because her fanfics have been free of charge (as far as we know).

@Muttonhawk

She has a shady Bitcoin address to which you can send money untraceably. In return, she'll write you a saucy story featuring any gods you like in any situation you please.

If you ever wonder what Fate does with the cash in their Might Pot, well. Now you know.

My 64 might Diva is going to be a baker, it's decided.

@Double Capybara

Petition to alter the avatar rules so that it caps at 16 instead of doubling indefinitely forever

Otherwise poor Capy is going to starve when winter comes, still desperately hoarding Might for another waifu

[Kho]

@Antarctic Termite Cappy has certainly been creative when it comes to avatars (pardon the pun xP) but the point of the doubling rule is that it prevents there being too many avatars for any one god. Avatars are immensely powerful beings, even ones not designed for war or combat. Having a hoard of them is meant to be discouraged. But if Cappy wants to crack a deal with Fate, I'm sure something can happen

[Double Capybara]

I'm fine, no worries, furthermore, a baker who has thrice the amount of might spent to create the universe invested into her creation is a whimsical concept on its own.

tfw you spill the milk across the floor

[Muttonhawk]

Speaking more seriously about the Waifu domain. If Ilunabar were to grab it, would she get a discount on making her avatars?

I mean, you could call it the 'Muse' domain or something more serious like that, but no one would ever refer to it my anything other than the Waifu domain.

@Muttonhawk

It is already under the Story portfolio. (Not the discount bit, I sincerely don't think there is a way for a port to give a discount in a mechanic, otherwise someone could get Heroism port and go to town with it)

And originally the storymaking bit was the reason why the Divas were able to hold different personalities, nowadays its not an uncommon aspect for avatars, but I like to think it holds some ★·.·´¯`·.·★special★·.·´¯`·.·★ meaning.

Beyond that, creating Divas is basically what I do (So please don't murder them or I will have to ragequit the RP :[ ), if I start to get discounts in that I will be left with a lot of might and very little to do. In turn, I think so far Ilunabar has one of the most organized divine business around, with the 4 divas acting almost like a sub-pantheon and enabling her to keep an eye on all things cultural, so there is a clear payoff.

[Muttonhawk]

Fair enough. I just had the thought that the Divas are being built for a specific purpose by the looks, though I guess with the discounts you're getting from the mighty actions of the divas themselves, it balances out to a similar intended result.

Also, as soon as I get around to writing more from them, the contrivance for Majus and Minus' respective personalities will eventually be revealed. I've probably said this before, but there is a story reason for it beyond 'because it's fun'.

@Double Capybara

Astarte's avatar is actually a shard of her personality. Of course, neither of them know that :p

[BBeast]

Well, I finished my last assignment today. And you know what that means?


_{>Tacitly ignores the fact that I still have exams coming up.}

I'll catch up on the IC eventually.

@BBeast But seriously, would you be bothered if Gerrik got yoinked at one point.

@Dawnscroll

I'm wanting to get to Gerrik's successor relatively soon, because I have cool things I want to do which need a fresh perspective, since Gerrik's from the stone age and we need to move beyond that. We can discuss further details in PM, such as whether Gerrik getting yoinked would fit in with what is going on now (or in the future if you plan do it in some future time), and how Logos would deal with Teknall, who would know immediately when Logos comes near Gerrik. But unless we can establish a good reason for this arc to take place, I currently see it as an inconvenient divergence.



Re: avatars: Teknall's avatar is a robot, and not even a robot with feelings. Goliath has the personality of an MQ-1 Predator Drone.

P.S. Re: Sovereignty, in my eyes, the most practical application of Sovereignty, or whatever you end up naming your kingship portfolio, would be to influence the politics of mortal nations. These matters are incredibly complex, but with that Portfolio it would be a relatively simple matter to know what needs to take place for the desired outcome to occur, and then ensure that those things do take place. A sour relationship with the second-in-line. A grand parade. A war or famine at the right time. An assassination attempt (successful or otherwise). A rebellion. A reformation. And whatever else it takes for the existing king to be usurped by a heir of your choice, or the reigning monarch to keep hold of that position against the odds. Its effects would be slow to take place (years or decades), but operate reliably at a level of complexity (namely, that of politics) which other deities would struggle to manage.

[Antarctic Termite]

Heartworm has more in common with Majus and Minus than with most avatars. Once a placeholder consciousness to keep that part of Jvan busy when she wasn't using it, now out of control and surpassing its intended abilities.

Chiral Phi is a piece of Jvan's personality that slowly gained awareness until it was given the chance to escape. Jvan will try and get some use out of that accidental creation later.

Or, more likely, that accident will find a way to get some use out of her.

@Antarctic Termite

DOWN WITH HEARTWORM! MURDER!

let the poor amoral scientist go

it's killed fewer innocents for better reasons than Keriss D:<

[Double Capybara]

I hope I didn't make anyone angry with that comment about avatars, by no means I meant it as a complaint of any sort.
