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

[Antarctic Termite]

@Jarl Coolgruuf Looks good! Just make sure you run it past Bright, since your characters are fairly similar.

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.

@Antarctic Termite

Oh. He was talking about the uplifting the Marionettes not my other race. Damn, that flew over my head because I did not even see how that would work, because as I said, I do not really consider Marionette a race since they are barely alive.

It could be neat if Tauga learned a bit about it though. But the stuff is complex and very delicate, it is hard to mess with it without breaking it down. Not that most Marionette in Alefpria are anywhere near useful after the city building was over, and since Meimu hasn't been mentioned to be fixing stuff there anymore, they are probably on a bad shape.

@Double Capybara WAREHOUSES FULL OF DILAPIDATED HUMAN-SIZED DOLLS THAT STILL TWITCH FROM TIME TO TIME

trying to perform tasks that nobody remembers

shuffling with twisted joints that nobody knows how to fix

Now I really want to explore the idea. What Tauga will be creating is much simpler, though. Ragdolls and rope snakes or such.

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.

@Oraculum

Our god of Darkness(Shadows) died very early on, so it would be interesting if somebody actually took Darkness up and explored it. Darkness(Voids) could definitely work as a Domain(Portfolio).
You mention Purity. That is also rather interesting - though I struggle to see how it can be translated into something workable. But from your words that seems to be the challenge you're setting yourself. So a god of Purity would certainly be interesting and challenging. I would enjoy seeing where you take it.

Look at all this activity, damn.

@Kho I think Divinus is slowly getting the recognition it deserves!

@Kho

A demi-god of Purity? Sounds like heresy to Amartía.

[Kho]

@LokiLeo789 You say that now, but wait until it fill the world with pure sin

[Kho]

@Vec Recognition? I refuse! We must be unrecognisable! If we are discovered, we will surely all be banned. Child labour, bdsm, polygamy, graphic descriptions. You better make sure no one finds us.

[LokiLeo789]

@Kho

Well when you say it like that you make Amartía feel all fuzzy inside. Probably not a good idea to get him all riled up like that. Better to keep him in a cage...where he can't go all...weird.

[Scarifar]

You guys do realize that Niciel already has Purity as a portfolio, right?

I mean, it's not like I mention it in every single one of my Niciel posts.

*not triggered*

[Kho]

@Scarifar Shhh, there there now, go back to sleep.

But in all seriousness, Purity in Niciel's case refers to moral purity - i.e. goodness. The Purity we're talking about here, the Domain, is rather different. You could have Purity(Emptiness) for instance. Or Purity(EEEEEEVVVVIIILLLL)

_{(that second one might not work. Or it might. Damnit we need to rethink the Domain(Portfolio) system)}

@Scarifar

Your posts are always over 2,000 characters so they're too long and I don't read them

Ehh fair enough.

@Cyclone

You're never gonna let me off on that, huh?

[Muttonhawk]

I'm going to be interstate for a night and a day, flying out tomorrow. I've made it to the final round of interviews for a new job. Divinusians, lend me your good vibes!
