Ascension of Gods (High Casual)

[LadyRunic]

@Lucian Nope! That works WONDERFULLY!

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Lucian That is one God I don't know much about Woden/Tyr. So if you can have a good handle on him, go ahead.

<Snipped quote>

@LadyRunic

If I might make a small correction...

Woden/Wodan is actually just another name for Odin.
Tyr is in some references, the son of Odin and there is also suggestions that he was once the father of the gods.

Also, I think I'll snag Poseidon. I'll have a CS up for him sometime tomorrow.

@Rune_Alchemist

This is what I meant, yeah. Although, I may reconsider. Not sure I'm up for multiple characers just yet. I've been out of the RP scene for awhile now.

@Lucian Nope! That works WONDERFULLY!

@LadyRunic

Glad to hear it. I'm excited for this.

[LadyRunic]

@Lucian@Rune_Alchemist *Flurry of papers* Gaul is not my strongest point! I found them rather dull compared to Egypt and Celtic and Roman....
I sorry I have failed you my scholarly books of vast knowledge!

[Lucian]

It's no big deal. So, how long do we wait for the other positions to be filled?

[Karos]

In 116 AD Egypt was basically being controlled by Rome. That is a thing here, yeah? Because destroying the roman Empire is gonna be the goal for my little chaos serpent

@Rune_Alchemist

The province of Aegypto was completely under Roman control by this point and had been since Augustus. All remnants of the pharaohs were wiped out by the Augustan forces when they captured the province during the civil war against Anthony including the murder of the entire Egyptian royal family, many of whom had already died in an Egyptian civil-war before the one between Augustus and Anthony.

However, the idea of a rebellious young demi-god is intriguing. Don't think Decimus will like her very much though. :p

Quirks: Decimus has two expressions he lives his life by, Ad Senatus populusque Romanus (For the senate and the people of Rome); Dulce et Decorum est pro patria mori (It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country).

@Karos

Should be interesting if they run into one another. XD

[LadyRunic]

@Karos The Gods needed time to recover. And a Royal family can be re-established. So I carefully calculated each God's healing time. Nah, Even if Roman were there there are still some rebellions. Roman has only held it for roughly a little less than 150 years.

@Lucian I'm working on getting some more people in. REALLY want to get The Big Three Greek/Romans, and another Celt and Egpytian. Though I will throw up the OOC tonight most likely, or perhaps today.

[Zahrale]

So, the little black bird needs an Egyptian.

Ill be Set- throwing up a CS in a moment.

Sutekh, Lord of the Red lands.

Full Name: Set, Seth, or Sutekh
Nickname: (Doesn't care much for Nicknames, but the name Seth counts)
Age: OTTI(Older Than Time Itself) (True age is incalculable, as he was Born before the Dawn of Time.)
Gender: Male
Race: God.
Pantheon: Egyptian.
Weapon(s): Scepters Kopesh' spears and his favorite weapons, Storms and the stupidity of his foes.
Powers: Weather, Sands, Violence, Disorder, Darkness, and Godly Powers.

Appearance:
Dual Appearances, Either and Egyptian man with dark hair and kind features, in plain mantles and clothes, or the same man with sharper features and Red hair, and typically wearing a Red mantle. These appearances strike the differences in his mood and Hostility towards a person.

Likes: Battle, Violence, Friends, Sand- Lots of Sand.
Dislikes: Snakes, Scorpions, Apep, Imposters (Mainly Ares).
Strengths: Has an extremely extended power list- like most Egyptian gods, and is known to over power and overwhelm other Egyptian gods- both Friend and Foe alike.
Weaknesses: Despite having a lengthy list of powers and abilities this marks him as a "Trickster God" Akin to the likes of Loki, meaning he has Great power- But not as much as he COULD have, and not as Masterful as he could Be.
Quirks: Tends to be Chaotic in nature- hard to predict.
Fears: The loss of Existence around him- he fears the void or never ending nothingness.
Ambition: To protect his friends- and to Destroy the imposters who dare steal his titles, such as "God of War"
Personality: Complicated, mysterious, Generally very kind and gentle unless in a bad mood, in which he becomes very vile and violent.

Father: Ra
Mother:
Children: Anubis, Bes'eshe
Siblings: Osiris, Isis, Nyphthys
Pets: (none)
History: (Uhhhh. . . Good luck with that. Just saying but with Set, And other Egyptian gods- That's a looooong twisty road nobody wants the full story for, so ill be nice and summarize. . .)

Worshiped as the equal to Ra, and treated as his counter part- As Set is the Lord of the Red Lands, Deserts, Ra is lord over the Black Lands, the fertile Soils around the Nile and its many branches. He is considered the Defeater of Apep, the the god to disfigure Osiris, and generally overall a bipolar God. Set is also seen as a god of Evil and a necessary part of life- despite his vile and violent quirks, he is generally seen as protective, and almost Defensive when it comes to his fellow gods and goddess, despite the numerous passes he's made on a few- Both in a violent manner and in less decent manners. His primary targets for his passes are Isis and Horus, whom he attempts to assault both violently and indecently- Horus whom he succeeds with several times in indecent manners- obviously causing strain with his 'friends'. over all Set is considered a god who achieves what he desires- be it his nephew, or the death of another, and is a god to be Truly Feared, Even by other major gods, unlike other 'trickster gods'. (As a Side note, there is the fact that Set is considered the God of Foreigners- but we aren't going to get into that because that has some complicated meanings.)

Relationships:
Osiris: 'Friend'
Horus: Foe, (Considers Horus his little Toy whenever he can get away with it)
Nyphthys: His sister-wife. (She allows him to have concubines, so its a very open couple. . . Poor Horus.)
Ra: Set is protective of Ra, and generally strives to Help Ra. This doesn't mean they don't have moments they don't get along. . .
Anubis: Set's son is Anubis- and while Set can be a pain, Anubis well... Anubis is The Judge of the Living and Dying. He is unbiased on the matter of Set- and likely doesn't Care.

Think i got everything- including the reasons why 90% of the Egyptian gods Dislike him- he's Kinda a prick.

Gender: Male

Pantheon: Egyptian.
Weapon(s): Scepters Kopesh' spears and his favorite weapons, Storms and the stupidity of his foes.
Powers: his exact power list is far and beyond lengthy, But powers that never change is the Power over storms, deserts and mirages, other wise for what all powers he truly has is myriad and hard to confirm, as some even attribute to Set the power over shadows, and the darkness in men's hearts.

@Zahrale

Oh look.

Another god for my little chaos serpent demi-god to not like xP

I'll be throwing up a CS for Apep/Apophis and possibly Poseidon soonish. Got some stuff I've gotta do with my own RP at the moment. If no one minds me having three, that is.

@Rune_Alchemist

Well, who's to say Set can't be agreeable.

Other then Horus... Horus has Uncle problems of the darkest kind . . . .

haha xD

Well, Qel hates anyone who has attempted to kill/fight her father.

So yeah, it's not Set. It's gonna be her mostly.

He wouldn't kill a kid though, would he?~ :D

with Set to watch in amusement.

[Rune_Alchemist]

<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>

@Zahrale

Honestly, if they do get into a fight, She's probably gonna lose.

So she'll probably end up running, and then possibly beg for her life if she does get cornered/in a position where she's about to die,

Of course, if she does die...Apep might get a little tiny bit...pissed.

[Lucian]

@Zahrale

I don't mean to speak for the GM here, but this makes me nervous. All gods from all pantheons can and would have had vague powers, but the Characters so far have been made with precise powers and limitations. The potential for power-playing seems high.

[Karos]

Interesting? I can see it devolving into a fight xD

@Rune_Alchemist

He's a Roman soldier, I really wouldn't put it past him, they've done far worse.

[Rosette Christopher]

@Karos

This is pretty accurate as we aren't in the modern era. There is no geneva convention or rules of war. If you don't burn their city, salt the earth, and utterly destroy their culture first, they'll do the same to you in a heartbeat. Given, submission rather than destruction was common, but not always.

[LadyRunic]

@Zahrale Accepted, but we're hashing out the powers. Because, @Lucian is correct. Your going to need to be more defined. Too open means power-play. (Yes I know, but other people will try it if I don't hold the same rule for all.)

Alrighty, Going to transfer everything over to the RP section. The IC RP will most likely not start tonight. But will be starting within the next few days. I just want to get things ironed out. And be sure to re-read my first ever post on this thread. I added in Godly powers.

Also when posting your characters, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! So I don't wear my fingers to the bone scrolling, put them in hiders. And yes I'm going to enforce this with the sheer number of characters.

@Lucian

My only issue here is his powers seem to shift like Day and Night- So its hard to tell what his powers ACTUALLY are- the only one that never changes is Storms, though there's a defines set that most people accept i suppose,

It actually seems like his powers are along the lines of Weather, Sands, Violence, Disorder, Darkness, and then the rest of the standard powers. Which.. still seems like A lot.

[LadyRunic]

@Zahrale *pat pat* Ai.

@Rosette Christopher

Yes, yes, I know. T'was a joke.

Mostly.

All I can say if he does kill her - he's going to have to deal with a very pissed chaos snake dad.

And speaking of angry snake dad - @LadyRunic
Do tell if there are problems. I'll get to work on Poseidon soonish. Might be up later tonight if I can focus and no one else wants him.

Angry Snake Dad

Full Name:
Apep or Apophis.

Nickname:
'Daddy' by his daughter.
'Lord of Chaos' by most others.

Age:
Has existed for almost as long as the world has.

Gender:
Male

Race:
God

Pantheon:
Egyptian

Weapon(s):
His scepter when in human form.

Powers:
Apep is chaos incarnate. He has control over the primordial muck that the first beings of the world were created from. From simply existing he warps the standard knowledge of how the world. He can cause earthquakes simply from moving his massive body, and his roar can cause the entire underworld to tremble in fear. His gaze can cause others, even gods and demigods to feel fear and overwhelm them with paralyzing fright. Mortals would simply fall to their knees, unable to stand under his gaze.

His physical strength is downright terrifying as well, even to the gods.

Devours the souls of those he eats and kills, empowering him further.

Abilities List:
Terrifying gaze: Paralyzes mortals with fear. Even Gods and Demigods are not immune from it, though they are able to resist.
Earth Shaking Roar: The roar causes the entire earth to tremble beneath his terrifying might. The earthquake caused, may lead to even other disasters.
Physical Superiority: He is incredibly durable, and his hide is almost impossible to scratch with normal weapons. Only high level magic from other gods and weapons specifically made for slaying gods will work effectively on him.
Devourer of Souls:He consumes the souls of those lost in the afterlife, strengthening his powers further. However, he must devour a great number for any noticeable effect to be had. He is however, able to drain the souls right out of living humans should he desire.
Chaotic Regeneration:Any cut or open wound would heal at an incredibly fast rate - but the regeneration is not perfect. Amidst battle he cannot control what regenerates. If he loses an arm, it will regenerate quickly but instead of an arm, he might end up with a mass of snakes as an arm, or some other animal or creature.
Chaotic Disaster:To put simply, by just existing Apep causes natural disasters. Storms, Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc. His very existence causes the world to shudder and tremble. Most of the time, this ability is heavily suppressed.

Appearance:

True Form

The snake of chaos, is a massive being that inhabits Duat. Reaching almost a mile long, the snake has a hide made of something tougher than steel. He has a bladed tail, sharp enough to cut stone to shreds. Two large, venomous fangs extend from the roof of his mouth.

Human form:
Standing an am imposing six foot four, Apep is not a man most would wish to trifle with. He doesn't often take this form, since he has little interest in conversing with mortals or other gods, which is the only thing he would use this for. He is clean shaven, with short black hair. He has dark colored colored eyes that have a serpentine appearance, and wears golden earrings with a gold circlet around his neck. He wears little clothing - only a skirt with a gold belt serpent shaped belt and sandals. He wears a gold serpent ring on his left had as well. Quite muscular in appearance.

Likes:
Chaos, sleeping, his daughter, reading, seeing his enemies suffer, change, fruit.

Dislikes:
Ra, Set, any other gods who have tried to kill him, peace, stagnation.

Strengths:
He is almost unmatched in terms of physical ability.
Fairly loyal to a cause. Won't betray someone he has given his word too.

Weaknesses:
His daughter
ranged abilities
Magic
arrogant

Quirks:
*yawn*
"Go bother someone else, peasant."
Likes fruit.

Fears:
His daughter being killed.

Ambition:
To outlive all the other gods.

Personality:
Calm, collected, and above all calculatingly cold. He has very little love for mortals and even less for the other gods. Usually, he is quite disinterested in their affairs and only cares for strengthening himself by feasting upon the souls that get lost in Duat - or the occasional soul of a god should he ever succeed in overpowering one. Like say...Ra.

A bit on the lazy side, though. Often spends his days either sleeping or lazily munching on some fruit in his human form. He is rarely ever emotional about things, though his anger his fierce, destructive, and not to be trifled with.

Father:
N/A

Mother:
Neith

Siblings:
Ra

Pets:
Serpents of any kind.

History:
A long and somewhat simple history. Apep lives in Duat, where he and Ra supposedly do battle daily. Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but the two do fight quite often. Usually, in the defense of the mortal souls Apep wishes to devour. However, after many years of this, the serpent grew large and somewhat lazy, eventually ceasing his constant devouring of souls in favor of a more...relaxed lifestyle. Of course, he and Ra still fight sometimes but nowhere near as much as they used to.

For most of his life, the serpent was alone - only his constant duels with Ra and Set. Wanting something more and out of sheer boredom and curiosity, he decided he wanted to try this whole 'parenting' thing like some other gods did. So he found a human woman - a priestess of one of the so called 'Roman Gods' and well, kidnapped her and had a baby with her. Later, the woman gave birth to Qelhatat, though the woman died in childbirth.

He raised the child himself, donning his human appearance for the longest time he ever did for fifteen years. It was a trying, difficult experience for the god, and if some were observant they would notice an increase in disasters for the fifteen years he raised her.

For now though, he rests in Duat after he sent his daughter out into the world. He keeps in contact with her through the use of serpents.

Relationships:
Qelhatat Apophka - His daughter, the only one he's ever had. He loves her dearly, as surprising as that might be to some. If any harm should befall her by the hands of another god, or Demigod. Not even the ends of the world would be enough for you to escape his fury.

Ra - His brother. Loathes his existence, but doesn't outright hate him. Thinks of him as little more than an annoyance.

Set - Has tried to kill him on several occasions. Really doesn't like him, but his chaotic nature is amusing.

Ma'at - loathes her existence. Completely goes against everything he is.
