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

[Kho]

@Dawnscroll I am highly offended! The implictions of your horrendous image are horrific. I cannot believe the audacity of it!

[Muttonhawk]

Good news, I got a research scholarship this summer!

Bad news, this post is coming along really slowly...

@Muttonhawk

What a coincidence, so did I.

[Kho]

Wow. Successful human beings. A rare breed indeed T-T am jealous, I want a research scholarship. I just want to research in general. For Divinus posts.

But good on you two! Let us know how it goes! What'll you be researching?

(Hazarding a guess here, but BBeast will probably be researching the linguistic miracles of elvish).

[Cyclone]

I haven't been as inactive as it appears; I've got a really big collab brewing with Kho. It's already about 85,000 characters and it's looking like it might end up being around 130,000, if I had to hazard a guess.

@Kho Want to try to reach the RPGuild's post character limit?

@Cyclone

I do not endorse lengthening posts for the sake of lengthe- pfffft, whomIkidding xDD
Lets do that and petition Mahz to make the character limit higher so we can post it xDD

Edit: Sorry Frettzo. I promise there will be summaries xPPP

[Slime]

Dear gods... I fear for the future right now...

That aside though I'll start working on Helvana's intro now. Can I add her to the characters tab?

@Kho

Successful? Hah! It's just a six week project. Nothing world-changing.

The project is still being tweaked and will begin in a couple of weeks. It's computer science research into natural language processing and/or possibly human behaviour. It should be interesting.

[Muttonhawk]

Boy, do I feel rusty.

This is going to be the start of a bit of a series. Toun's keeping close watch on this particular situation, so if you want to put your grubby hands over it, expect a visit from him.

Anyway, I said that this post was going slowly, I think I just started it when I was really tired. I had to rewrite it a bunch.

Expect returns to Conata, Toun, M&M, and the like before this arc gets updated.

My project this summer is on preparing perovskites, a type of semiconductor mineral, for analysis under electron microscopy.

In my avatar, you will see a screenshot from a project I did last summer, which was using computational fluid dynamics simulations to model the merging of two neutron stars.

@BBeast

Your avatar is that? That's so cool! I had thought it was that project that was on the news a while ago about something similar but with black holes or something. Although, it could have been your project, I can't remember clearly. Either way, nice job.

When you get them, show us the snaps of your next project if you can. I love electron microscope pictures.

@Muttonhawk

After Kho Brain Censoring: Successful? Of course! It's going to be world-changing!
We're still finalising its ultimate form and the beginning is nigh. It's research into the nature of language and possibly even the philosophy of human behaviour. Should be fascinating.

@BBeast

I'm willing to wager that you did your all to make that sound as incomprehensible as possible xPP
Or, even better, you tried very hard to bring it down to our level and speak in the language of the uninitiated-into-the-wonders-of-the-scientific-world-of-Hogwarts muggle-plebs.

@Kho

I think the only part you really censored is the first. The rest appears to simply be a mechanism that rephrases input into an extraordinary tone. This actually explains some things.

@Kho

I'll help you out.

He's setting up these special Russian rocks, right? These rocks act as a jungle-gym for tiny magical pixies. What you can do is shoot pixies through a tube onto these special rocks such that the pattern they make when they splatter at the other side of the rock paints a pretty picture of what the jungle-gym looks like reeeealy up close. This is likely to help with more magical pixie-taming techniques, because these are very special Russian rocks.

That's how I've interpreted it, though I am sure there are one or two technicalities.

Hey. Just wanted to put a thing up saying that I'm interested in joining... if this is still going anyway.

Pray tell, good sir, what sharp wit causes thee to question the goingonability of 'this'?

I only came upon this thread recently. For all I knew, it was just someone posting for the first time in a month. Glad to see that isn't the case through.

@Bright_Ops

Well, good sir! If joining Her Imperial Majesty's Royal Baloch Brigade is your heart's desire, and if you truly wish to march out with us against those infernal Mahometan Patans, then 'tis our pleasure and honour to make your wish a reality. First, howe'er, we have prepared for ye a baptism of fyre.
Go forth, and read the Opening Post; thereafter, go forth and read the second post; thereafter, search for BBeast's summary of the first few IC pages, which should be two or three pages back in the OOC; thereafter, go through the Characters Thread; thereafter read the summaries for all posts in the IC. We can then begin your initiation into our cult.

As that may take a while, feel free to present to us your ideas regarding the character you'd like to create, and we'll proceed to grill you. Though I know LokiLeo will also fry, bake, barbecue, boil, and smoke you. He may even leave a bit raw for his sushi special.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW THIS RP WAS A FRONT FOR A CANNIBAL ORGANIZATION!

[Bright_Ops]

Farxus the Demi-God

Name: Farxus

Alias: None.

Gender: Male

Domain (Portfolio): Death (Undeath)

Domain (Portfolio) Description:

All things that have a beginning must in turn come to an end as well. From a tiny seed grows a sapling that grows into a mighty oak that reaches into the sky, dropping more seeds around it and giving birth to a forest... but in the fullness of time it will start to decay and break down, freeing up new positions for young trees to grow while providing them with the rich soil they need. Be it a nation, a way of thinking or even just a mortal animal, all things will stagnate, decay and make way for something new to come fill the void.

However while Death might be a certainty, what happens afterwards can get... complicated. There are those who perish that for reasons that change from person to person who simply cannot let go of the mortal world and pass on. Many are bound to the world because they simply could not find peace within themselves, others with issues that they refuse to leave unresolved or duties that even death won't stop them from filling. Some are trapped in the living world by the actions of others, unable to pass on due to curse or spell. Almost all are considered damned souls by the living.

...Someone has to be in their corner.

Alignment: Neutral Good (Well... tries to be anyway).

Personality:

Faxrus is something of a neutral, fickle god a lot of the time. Most of the time he feels nothing but a void inside of him that eats away at any emotion good or bad that he might feel; This doesn't mean that he is emotionless through, far from it. In order for one or more of his emotions to properly register, it has to come on strong and fast before it starts to fade away.

Those who interact with him can find him to be... strange at times, but usually with good intentions. He is a fan of the living, but has difficulty talking to them due to the way in which he views the world somewhat... off compared to the standard mortal (and the fact that most living people are terrified of him to begin with doesn't help), so he is rather content to simply be on his own while doing his own things.

By default he tends to stand on the side of the 'Damned', be they undead or simply condemned by the world around them for one or another. While he has the knowledge and know how to bring those who have departed from the living back in undeath, Faxrus rarely does this and will only do it when that is the only means in which one of his willing charges can find peace. Those who forcefully rise and enslave the dead tend to find themselves to be the victims of Faxrus's wrath.

Appearance:



To date, Faxrus only has the one form. This isn't because he can't take other forms, but simply because he likes this one and fails to see why he needs to change it.

Musical Theme:


Description:
With the death of the God of Death Reathos, a power vacuum was left behind that demanded to be filled. The energy of the Domain of Death itself spread out and started to pool in different places, seeking to create and anchor itself to a new deity. In the end, this process created Faxrus.

Most mortals are instinctively afraid of him; his status and powers as a Demi God of death with some connection to the undead is more than enough for many to create horror stories or flee from him on sight. However, those mortals few who actually talk to him or follow his actions will surprisingly find that he is surprisingly benevolent and will happily help someone out who needs it. He also seems to have a soft spot for cats for some reason.

To the undead, he is largely the friend and spiritual guide of those who for one reason or another don't wish to let go of the world even through they have died. Those who are trapped in the living world due to distress or anger, he will help bring peace of mind to. Those with unfinished business he will help to accomplish it. Those who have effectively become monsters, he will help come to terms with their new situation. Those who are stuck there due to the actions of others, he will act on their behalf to get them into the afterlife and quickly and peacefully as possible (The ones who did it to them, not so much).
