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

[Frettzo]

So while I respect all of you who don't have time to deal with walls of blue-smattered text, if you're at all interested in Jvan's story, I feel like you should read this one and not spoil it too loudly OOC. The summary is really good bonus content though.

Chiral Phi looks better the further back you stand.

we could've ended this collab right there, tbh

@Antarctic Termite

I loved the post, good work to both you and Rtron!

[Muttonhawk]

Oh Chiral Phi, you card, you ;)

@Rtron
Vestec and Athanasios need to meet asap. come onnnnnnn, I know Vestec is dying to figure the demigod out.
Maybe it's just me. But I like this Vestec better than the last version of him to be honest.
PM A COLLAB DAMN YOU
I'M DYING FOR REAL

[LokiLeo789]

Vestec should cheat. Amy would.

Soon, he's on the list!

VESTEC HONORS HIS AGREEMENTS, UNLIKE AMY.

In desperation, they prayed to Toun, to Ilunabar, to Vulamera, to Teknall, to Belruarc, to Astarte and to Mammon for salvation. Several particularly desperate souls even dared to beseech Vestec for divine aid, for they knew that nothing short of that could save them.

Some BBeastian Post

I find it very interesting that they call on Belruarc also. How do the Rovaick know of and worship Belruarc? Does it have to do with Sularn's Vow?

@Kho

Vestec informed them about all that had happened up to the point of their creation when they were created. This was before Belurac became human.

[Kho]

@Rtron Ahh, makes sense. Can you link me to their creation post?

[Kho]

I just realised that Amartia might have actually destroyed the Cube during his escape... the wording is vague, but we'll see.

Also, pg16 of the summary is now complete!

Maybe it wasn't then. But at somepoint Vestec brought them up to date and it was before Belurac became human.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

New post in which I rip off 40k and rtron mercilessly tells everyone about it in the summary.

In my defense, I wrote a majority of my part between 1 and 4 am

Hey, don't lose your head. Amy is here to experience, not get tied down. Live a lil.

@Kho

Edit: At this point, y'all should do yourself a favor and just call Amul. Cause I can't even control Amy anymore.

[Kho]

You mention Amul'Sharar, I noticed that this concept of 'swearing by Amul'Sharar' has come up a few times. Ull'Yang got angry at Luna for suggesting it, and Heartworm first had Vestec swear by him and then swore to Vakarlon by him. (Perhaps there will be others as I continue studying reading these posts). I wonder if Amul would actually enforce these if someone were to attempt to break them.

But I'm not sure whether I have any authority regarding what Amul and Fate do anymore >.>

Why not?

Uh, Frettzo, come 'ere.

Here, away from the sight of our new overlords, read this heresy that they have expunged from the history books, and all the theological discourses and treatises we read today in our great Galbarian seminaries

@KhoI mean, when you reach the deity level of power, there's no point in lying. Thus, an oath from such a being is that much more believable, since if they planned to break the oath, they needn't have made it in the first place. They could just bash your head in and be done with it.

[Kho]

'Oh! Oh! That's how you're gonna play it huh? Can't take me out one-on-one so you're cheatin'? Come at me then! I can still take you down! 'tis but a flesh wound!'

In some Kho post somewhere

*Backs away very slowly*
I might or might not have totally, in a trashy, corny, undignified sort of way, completely copied elements of the wording of that sentence from a well-known, perhaps very famous, scene in a perhaps very famous movie by a perhaps very famous group; and I, furthermore, may or may not have been inspired by - some may callously say 'copied' - elements of the spirit of the scene in the wider context of that which this perhaps not exactly copied wording is situated within.

@Vec

You say that, but what happens where two gods of more or less equal power swear by Amul? It's not like they could exactly force anything out of the other without potentially procuring serious damage, and so lying may be better.
And it's always better to enter deals with creatures, even if they're weaker than you, for the sake of keeping up a good public image - otherwise, the other gods might get annoyed and decide to give you what's for. The equivalent of CKII's tyranny or EUIV's aggressive expansion >.> so lying there may be good for the sake of getting what you want by more cunning means while preserving a good image

Naw, naw. Amy curses by Fate and Amul. Very different.

You'll hear from the Knights Who Say "Ni" for this!
