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

[Double Capybara]

@Rtron Annoyance =/= Hate. She lives to complain about Teknall and Zephyrion, for example, but she likes both.

Unless you make the lizards turn into generic brute Number 1453 when you corrupt them or you try to murder her or the divas, or mess up with mortals' abilities to have dreams of any sort (Not just "here be nightmares", but outright stop it), in other words, stuff that is just waste of potential and boring, she will be forgiving.

Heck, I myself will throw some wrenches in her plan, especially that whole angel business.

[Muttonhawk]

@Jarl Coolgruuf I foresee Pelegath having a close association with Slough, perhaps even being the child of Slough. I also foresee interaction with Farxus.

Are you going to act upon these?

Also, you don't have to say exactly what, but do you have a general idea of a story for Pelegath to follow?

@Double Capybara

Doesn't she have like three races?

Mannequins, Lemur people, and lizards?

[Double Capybara]

@Rtron Excuse me? It is a lizard-like lemur people, you freaking kolarophobe.

And mannequins aren't really a race, more of an expensive hobby that makes me write posts of "DUDE THIS A LOT OF WORK, WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER" any time something half interesting is going on.

MY BAD. LIZARD-LIKE LEMUR PEOPLE, GOT IT.

So. You're saying, they need to be...uplifted into racehood.

YOU STILL OWE ME DRAGONS ON GALBAR.

DO NOT MAKE ME SEND VESTEC TO WHERE THEY ARE.

@Rtron

lmao, who said i was going to bring them there? You will have to beg to even get the chance to see one, not saying anything about having one, hmph.

@Vec

That's it. Vestec is going to your peaceful little planet. And he is getting himself dragons.

[LokiLeo789]

Yes! Yes! Focus your attention on Vestec while the sinful prince makes his move.

[Jarl Coolgruuf]

@Muttonhawk I had considered Pelegath being a child of Slough sweet Mary Magdalene on a Minnesota-bound motorbike is there a lot of lore to read and considering his Domain is death it would only make sense for him to interact with the demigod of death.

As for an actual story... no

@Rtron

For fate's sake my dude, they have been a sentient race since April last year as a reaction to Toun making the "fuck your portals to Arkon and Furls" ocean. There was a whole 5 posts arc involving one of those.

Please read muh posts before swearing to mess muh stuff.

(But really, if you want an idea for corrupted Quara Korala that isn't just an angry lizard, send me a PM)

@Cyclone

Oh boo hoo, Ilunabar sometimes gossips about the fact that you never know if Zephyron is farting near you, what a disaster.

She didn't make a gigantic lewd space fetus full of things that want to eat your house.

She didn't try to divide the house in two after disagreeing with your butlerboy.

She didn't leave to make a "cooler Celestial Citadel" just to show up after eons with not gifts, but a freaking flamethrower to burn your gardens.

She didn't fill her room with "a peaceful mist" and then proceeded to just chill there for a while with some winged people, like, whoa dude.

She didn't fill half of the citadel with water drowning 90% of your pets.

She didn't show up with her gang to send you on a forced vacation to "The land where time moves very freaking slowly".

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

Doesn't anyone care about grandpa Sauranath?

[Muttonhawk]

@Jarl Coolgruuf Fortunately for you, Slough and Farxus' lore isn't especially bulky. Slough is a character that has gone into obscurity due to her player leaving. We've kept her around rather than kill her off because she's fine as a passive character and is integral to the ongoing existence of natural life on Galbar. That, and killing her would be very difficult to justify on its own. As for Farxus, he has only had the opportunity for a few posts, so there's not especially too much to read there.

I mentioned the story consideration because of one thing that I tend to judge new Divinus characters on these days, and that's whether they'll be motivated to do anything once they've been born. We've had a couple of demigods that have just kinda faded into obscurity once they were born and I suspect that it was partly a sudden, overwhelming writer's block. Now, like I said, you don't have to have a solid idea of where your character is going, just as long as you have a general direction to head to see what happens. It's much more fun than becoming a passive character, believe me. Once you've got that general idea sorted, my confidence in your character will rise.

@Rtron If he finds a plausible way to actually find Cygnea, and then actually manage to get in, I'm ok with that.

Don't blame me though when I...

Not since Amartía took over. Sorry.

[Kho]

@Muttonhawk That's a good point. I should make it a requirement that a new player have at least one character arc in mind before they're permitted into the IC

[Jarl Coolgruuf]

@Muttonhawk Good stuff, I'll take that into consideration.

@Vec

[Oraculum]

I recommend that you read the opening post if you haven't already, and the Summary in the second OOC post. The summary goes up to page 13, so when you finish it you can continue by reading each post's summary from page 14 onward.
We also have a wiki that has some cool stuff that you can check out (link under FAQs).
With that out of the way, you can discuss your character ideas here - you can create a demigod (that's what most people tend to go for), but you are also welcome to create a hero or even a normal mortal - if that's your thing. (Though if you go for a mortal, be aware that a mortal's lifetime is very short and could be over quickly if there's a time skip.) If you want a demigod, it would be a good idea - during this OOC ideas phase - to see which god/s you would like to be his/her/its parents.
Once done, you may begin working on a Character Sheet and submit it here. You will generally get some feedback on the initial sheet here from both GMs and other players. Once all that is done, the GMs will retire to consider your character sheet and either accept or reject it.

@Kho

I have indeed acquainted myself with the introductory posts, and am now making my way through the story so far. Someday (someday...) I will probably get to the wiki, as well.

As for character creation, I was envisioning a demigod. My fundamental idea would be for it(?) to have power over a domain commonly seen as sterile or negative, in the sense of involving absence or privation of some sort - possibilities I am considering include such things as the void, darkness, some interpretations of purity - and attempting to overcome its inherent limitations in order to create something from it. Concerning its parents, I suppose I should first decide on the most basic details. Thus far, Toun strikes me as a fairly appropriate candidate theme-wise, but ultimately I believe it would be better to determine this later on so as for it to make the most sense. Or the least, depending on what would work better for the story.

@Rtron

Tauga has the ability to manipulate fiberlings and is headed to Alefpria. Give her time.

I'd prefer if the whole fiberling family stayed non-sapient outside of niche cases like Violet though. They're probably the simplest, most adaptable and best creature I've designed for the setting and I think they're more interesting if they're kept inhuman one way or another.
