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

[SrslyAnArtist]

@IrishAngelQueen Before venturing to accept or reject your CS, we're going to need a brief summary of your plans for the first few posts/ an idea for a first story arc. This is just to ensure that you've got something in mind and can go right into it rather than feel confused and unsure about what to go about doing (an issue we've had with a number of players who attempted to join).

@Kho

Well the first post is gonna be his birth, obviously. And as for the next few posts, I was thinking that he could familiarize himself with the gods, to gain what knowledge he can. Also, to provide input for Teknall and Toun on what the habitats, plants ans creatures should be for the new world. Oh! Hold on! the words for Athanasios's birth have just popped into my head! brb. (i'm sleep deprived and have been up since 8:00 yesterday. Hey, look-it's 5:49. Phht. I'll take a nap later in the day. Also, I'll pm you with what I have of Athanansios's birth and see if you like it and/or want to add anything.

@Lauder You called this upon yourself.

You know, on the note of Slough and healiness, I just remembered something. Niciel gave Slough some globes of power to eat back when she was cocooned the second time. I imagine Slough was empowered by them when she woke up and trundled off again, but maybe there was some interaction there? It would be a good excuse for a push to compassion, and then a bit falling off and becoming a demigod.

@Muttonhawk

They're not for eating. The Life Wisps just follow Slough around, pretty much obeying Slough's will. There can certainly be some empowering and stuff, though, depending on how people wanna interpret it.

I spent 8 Might on them, so fire away.

@Scarifar@Muttonhawk
Both of you make good points. I'll scroll through the posts and see if I can work something feasible into his birth and the moments following it. (I fell asleep earlier. Ugh. Good thing I have coffee.)

@Kho
Where is the last post that Slough's player made? and have any posts regarding her been posted since then? I really need to find it to construct his birth. Gahh. scrolling through 24 pages of IC posts is hard.

[Kho]

@IrishAngelQueen At the risk of being wrong, I believe these are two last Slough posts:

SECOND LAST: roleplayerguild.com/posts/3782460
LAST: roleplayerguild.com/posts/3852253

@Kho
Thanks. I sent you a pm btw.

@IrishAngelQueen

new world.

@IrishAngelQueen

Pardon? What new world?

As for early plots, I would also recommend interacting with mortals. Make some kind of religion or teach them new techniques or something. I hear that the Mesathallassa shamans are quite in tune with nature, so might be right up your alley.

@BBeast

Nevermind about that part. i'll keep the shamans in mind

Just so all of you wickedly awesome people are aware the second post with Thacel is still underway. Capy hit exams and I hit discord so progress was slowed for a time but I'm hoping I can be more responsible now that they have more free time.

[BBeast]

@IrishAngelQueen very minor pedantic point which doesn't materially impact your post but may be worth remembering: Slough stopped being rotten since her earlier metamorphosis. She's now made from wood, like a tree.

Otherwise, pretty good.

@BBeast

Oh, I can fix that easily. But thanks for the reminder, friend.

All this shit going on, and I'm stuck here waiting for this War to end.

[Muttonhawk]

Ach, delays and distractions abound. The completion of this post eludes me!

Why is pacing so difficult!? Why can't characters realistically think and feel really fast!?! This character development shit is hard, why would anyone want to do it!?!!?!

@Muttonhawk Alas, these art but a few of the num'rous troubles of a writ'r.

[Slime]

A Brazilian Air Force plane crashed on a capybara and was forced to make an emergency landing yesterday! @Double Capybara Are you alright? Did your jet pack get damaged?

@Muttonhawk

Settings are characters, individuals don't exist, worldbuilding is your character development now

Problem solved

This isn't the first time the government tries to take me down, but you can't capy this bara.
