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

[Vec]

@Antarctic Termite...Yes.

[Frettzo]

Look at this young upstart RP that tries to slice a piece of our Divine pie for itself. Blasphemy!

@Vec

I hope that RP lives and in 10 years we have a big mashup with our gods vs their gods.

Obviously, it would be Vowzra and Logos that would open a rift in space-time and bring their universe into Galbar by accident. After having been fighting over who gets to eat the last pudding in the Universe after Heat Death.

[Oraculum]

...since Jvan had wrecked the home of Osveril.

What goes around comes around.

[Kho]

@Vec y-you do realise that games like these have been commonplace on the Guild since forever, right? Divinus is my fourth.

@Antarctic Termite

Yeah, I've been in two other godly RPs before on the Guild...

But Divinus II is the only one that has lasted for me.

@Muttonhawk

TREACHERY. Before Divinus, there was only Divinus. And when Divinus is done, there will be. ONLY. DIVINUUUS!

Just wondering, I'm still reading, but has anything happened up in the North since the Realta invasion? Anything to disturb Oradin-Thulemiz's scheming that is. Would Tira, being in the North atm, have reason to cross the Undead who are meant to be rampaging all over the north?

@Kho

As of my latest post, the mean old djinni lord of the northern wind (who rules that place and really hates mortals/other djinn/everything) raised an army of ice giants and cold dudes and marched them thousands of miles south.

@Cyclone

Why would he do that? And wat? Rules that place? HAHAHAHAHA -.- we gonna have some Victor on djinni action, with some Thulemiz in-between.

It'll be like that time Jacob wrestled with God. Remember those good ol' days?

@Kho

As it stands Astarte barely knows about them, having spent most of her time up north in a relatively untouched and isolated village. Once/if they reach outside the North and get close to the Deepwoods or the Tree, she'll jump straight into the mess.

We have spoken of Boreas in the past; he’s a character I’ long wanted to explore but lacked opportunity to do so. But yes, he’s a pretty old djinni that’s probably been the head honcho up north for centuries.

@Kho

She might come upon them by chance on her way home, and she has every reason to fight them, though I'd rather she bonds with her piece of Sertz before that. Plotwise it would definitely give her a fantastic opportunity to sign up with the Knight Protectors.

Didn't Jacob wrestle with an angel? Not God?

@LokiLeo789

From Wikipedia:
'Jacob wrestling with the angel is an episode from Genesis (32:22-32; also referenced in Hosea 12:4). The account includes the renaming of Jacob as Israel (etymologized as "contends-with-God"). The "angel" in question is referred to as "man" (אִישׁ) in Genesis, while Hosea references an "angel" (מַלְאָךְ), but the episode is also often referenced as Jacob's "wrestling with God". ...
The interpretation that "Jacob wrestled with God" (glossed in the name Isra-'el) is common in Protestant theology, endorsed by both Martin Luther and John Calvin (although Calvin believed the event was "only a vision"), as well as later writers such as Joseph Barker (1854) or Peter L. Berger (2014). Other commentaries treat the expression of Jacob's having seen "God face to face" as referencing the Angel of the Lord as the "Face of God".

The proximity of the terms "man" and "God" in the text in some Christian commentaries has also been taken as suggestive of a Christophany: J. Douglas MacMillan (1991) suggests that the angel with whom Jacob wrestles is a "pre-incarnation appearance of Christ in the form of a man."

According to one Christian commentary of the Bible incident described, "Jacob said, 'I saw God face to face'. Jacob's remark does not necessarily mean that the 'man' with whom he wrestled is God. Rather, as with other, similar statements, when one saw the 'angel of the Lord,' it was appropriate to claim to have seen the face of God."'

@Antarctic Termite

Huzzah! Someone finally comes for Sertz!
_{who're the Knight Protectors? I was kidding about not knowing who Tira is, but I actually dunno who these guys are.}

@Cyclone

Isn't he the guy who thought he ruled the North but couldn't even get to the top of the Solitary Mount? XPP

[Kho]

After reading this post [roleplayerguild.com/posts/3996075], the next time I'm hanging on for dear life I'll look heavenward and pray, 'oh bird, shit on me pls. If ever you should do it, do it now.' And so help me God, if that bird shits on me, I'll pull myself up and go home.

Edit: Frettzo, you deserve a medal xDD
Edit 2: Admittedly, the last line was very ominous.

[Kho]

"Stand. There are people who need killing..."

Tauga

I like how she thinks. I really do.

@Kho

They turn up in like another eight pages. Have fun!

@Lauder... Just read Keriss' baby-killing episode. Fug.

[Kho]

@Antarctic Termite But... but why did Pumps die?

[Muttonhawk]

@Kho You're hitting all the real tragic posts today, huh? Don't worry, there's sugary stuff later on.

I can't speak for Termite but I suspect Pumps died so that a Miami crime film-esque drug bender could be showcased in the RP. I recently saw Scarface for the first time and can't help but draw parallels.

[Antarctic Termite]

@Antarctic Termite But... but why did Pumps die?

@Kho

Do you ever get that irresistible urge to be a dick to your own characters for no particular reason, especially those you kept innocent for no other reason than being a dick to them?

...No? Just me?

oh.

okay then.

WHY CAN’T THAT POST DIE?!
