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

@Frettzo

Good luck, friend. Hopefully we can prevent the same thing to happen in Brazil.

[LokiLeo789]

I do the pray for all of you.

[Lauder]

I feel happy with myself. I made a rough gif!

Check out how horrible it is!

Does she have a little defeat in her eyes? She's blinking back them tears pretty hard. I jest it's great.

[Oraculum]

@Oraculum I will want you to have at least one story arc in mind for your characters after your CS is done - you might want to discuss it here once your CS is done (if you want anyone else to be involved in it) or you can just post the idea if it's largely self-RPing.

Perhaps @Slime or [@Bright-Ops] might be interested in doing something with you. Or even @Jarl Coolgruuf if/once his character is accepted. And of course, any of the other players (who I don't mention because they've all got pretty established plots from what I can tell, into which you can easily jump if you so wished).

@Kho

For a beginning, I intend to have my character wander about for some time after its creation (as well as, naturally, remaining involved with the process the latter may have been part of), partly on a quest of self-discovery of sorts, partly to assess the state of the world and devise plans for its eventual attempts at purification. Of course, I am entirely open to it chancing upon the characters of whomever is willing to collaborate on an encounter, such as perhaps, as mentioned, other roving demigods, or even heroes or assorted mortals.

@Oraculum

Welcome aboard, sir. I don't have many ideas for my next post yet, so if you feel like making a collab with me just hit me up. My characters can't take part on the creation of your character itself, but gods have a tendency of leaving their children wander off on their own after they're born so we could arrange something a meeting after he's created.

@Slime

I am most eager to establish some interactions. Such a meeting would work quite well with what I have in mind for my initial arc, and we could arrange for it to occur once the latter starts.

@Oraculum

Hmm, you could have @Scarifar's Niciel dabble with the Orbs of Darkness Julk left behind. Maybe your demi manifests itself after the orb unexpectedly succs in some of Niciel's essence, and by the mysterious magics of RPing, poof, out comes a demigod.

An idea off the top of my head after glancing at the Domain/Port you wanted.

EDIT: This could actually make Niciel somewhat relevant to a current storyline that @Antarctic Termite, @Kho, and @Muttonhawk have going on.

EDIT2: I don't actually think Kho was part of that storyline now... Who was it that went with Toun inside Jvan's cavities again? When Toun and Jvan were going all emo and shit.

@Vec

Something along those lines could happen at some point - if not as part of the immediate process (though it might as well be, depending on what this process is - something I shall see to clarifying via PM), it could be nonetheless connected with it, or, through the demigod's mediation (even if coming into being through different means, it would be drawn to investigate Niciel and the Orbs alike, given their connection to its own domain), to the storyline at large, though I unfortunately do not yet know enough about its more recent developments to conjecture how it might be affected.

[Double Capybara]

@Oraculum And, again, try to check with @BBeast since his character is the who has carried out massive experiments with the Orbs of Darkness. Perhaps something involving Teknall and Niciel.

[Double Capybara]

Oh, by the way. I was doing some secret stuff in a secret thread, and I finally noticed this neat function.

Valley of Peace

This could be useful if anyone feels like making some vocabulary clear.

it goes like

[abbr=A valley region north of the Ironheart Ranges, home to Niciel and the Angels]Valley of Peace[/abbr]

[Malchivo]

@Double Capybara THANK YOU! I've wondered how to do that for ages and my dumbass didn't think about quoting or viewing the raw data xD

[Kho]

@Double Capybara Capy...

[Scarifar]

I can't read abbreviations on my phone...

[BBeast]

@Oraculum

Hmm.

For reference: Teknall's interactions with the Orbs of Darkness.

The tricky part is that Teknall's plans with the Orbs are currently underdeveloped and top-secret. No one other than Toun and Jvan have any inkling as to what Teknall might be trying, and Teknall wants it to stay that way. Perhaps if I had another couple of months to develop that plotline, then maybe I could use it for making a demigod, but as-is it will be a stretch to get Teknall involved in that manner.

Additionally, getting an Orb to produce something would be difficult to explain.

An alternative plot-line: Julkofyr is imprisoned in Vestec's Realm of Madness (not dead as many believe). Perhaps Niciel might try to liberate Julkofyr (with her new motivation to go and do something good in the world), and something goes terribly wrong in the process, producing a demigod. Also of note, Julkofyr's prison is in fact a corrupted Orb of Darkness.

[Scarifar]

The question would be actually finding that particular Orb and discovering its purpose. I'd be all for it, otherwise. There are only so many ways I can Deus Ex Machina my way through storylines through the Wisps scattered around the world.

In this episode, Heartworm does its usual Heartworm thing, but to dwarves. Also, it turns out Heartworm has a rather serene outlook on its own mortality? Huh.

Gryphons, Warrior and Artificer dwarves were designed by Wrongend. Miners, peasants, the Shamed, plateau grazers, domestic hexetacea and sea serpents were designed by me. Psykers haven't really changed, I just slapped horns on them.

...I feel like every budding arksynth worker should have a little wristband with the phrase 'WWVD: What Would Vakarlon Do?'

[Lauder]

'WWVD: What Would Vakarlon Do?'

@Antarctic Termite

Give eternal good luck to his daughter?

So, there's this EU case I want to remember called Metock - decided 2008. It basically interpreted Article 3 of the Citizen's Directive 2004/38 as requiring citizens of the EU to have moved from their member state of origin to a host member state before relying on EU law regarding free movement. (Did you understand any of that? Yeah, me neither).
I was looking at this case, Metock, and I thought to myself - that sounds a lot like Mutton. Hey, I know a Mutton. A Mutton Hawk. MuttonHawk. Muttawk. Metock. It's perfect.

Thank you Muttawk, your username has saved the day.

[Muttonhawk]

Had Heartworm the choice, it would have arranged the Empire like insects in the snow, breeding, feeding, divided by bodily function, their sentience as specialised as their form. Antarctic termites, tunnelling as one vast entity of a million units.

Also, while these creations are all very awesome, I fear for your mental health as that pile of unfinished creation sheets and wiki articles grows ever taller.

@Kho

I'm curious to hear of any other cases that are kept in your memory by the usernames of people here.

Double Capybara is one which I cannot envision being boring. Neither's Cyclone. Probably a few others as well.

[BBeast]

With all this cool world-building going on, it's making me ever more keen to jump on the world-building wagon.

Fortunately, I got those feels last time Termite did world-building, and got more ideas than just alchemy, so I already have something in progress.

Galbar is going to have the best mathemagicians.

Also, I should probably get Kinesis to make some cool stuff. I'll add that to my list of things to do, on top of Teknall's secret space project and Gerrik's story arc. And that can all sit on the back-burner while I work on university reports and assignments.

[Kho]

@Muttonhawk You brought this on yourself. I shall henceforth remember cases based on stuff from the guild.

There is CS & Rendón Marín (2016). CS obviously stands for Character Sheet. As for Rendón Marín. I know for certain that they have two foreign letters in them - so I start from there and hope for the best.

Writes in exam

The case of Baumbast & R (2002) (i.e BBeaster) concerned a German father who left the UK to work elsewhere, leaving his wife and children in the UK. It was combined with the case of R who were the children of a divorced American woman. In both cases, the children (and through them, their non-Eu mothers) had a right to remain in the UK. The right of the mothers to remain, strangely, was considered 'independent' and would become a permanent personal right to remain once 5 years had passed. Much of this is now contained in the Directive, but the cases are good to know too.

The case of Punakova (2012) (aka Puny Malchivo) concerned a Czech full-time mother who was formerly self-employed, living in the UK. The question arose of whether she, having been self-employed rather than conventionally employed, could be considered a 'worker' and thus have a right to remain in the UK - along with her child. The court never got to decide, as it was ascertained that the father had in fact been employed in the UK, and so the child had a right to remain in the UK. The mother had a derived right through him. The status of self-employed EU workers, thanks to the unsatisfactory escapism of the judges in Puny Malchivo's case, remains uncertain.

I will keep you posted on the others.

Woah, when wasting your time on RPGuild because you don't want to revise turned into the most productive revision session in ages.

[Malchivo]

@Kho Hell yeah! I get to help the grand GM revise cases! I shouldn't be so excited at the prospect of being called Puny, but you gotta take the wins where you can get them.
