[OOC] Ascension of Gods (High Casual) (Still Accepting)

[Lucian]

How far into Germania had Rome campaigned at this point, historically? Need to know if I'm to make a good Thor, which I've decided to do.

@Lucian Here.

@Lucian

They own about half of bavaria and everything to the Rhine. Howerver nearly a century ago, Rome had invaded and occupied nearly 3/4s of Germany rather than just 1/4th of it as they do now. They got forced back to the Rhine after the Battle of Teutoburg forest which saw a lot of Roman legions dead, and essentially kept the Roman border with Germany static for centuries afterwards. (It was one of the largest and most horrible defeats in Roman history relative to Rome's geopolitical situation at the time, and really hurt the Empire badly. The reason the Empire didn't own Germany and maybe bits of Eastern Europe is because of this, possibly.)

You could relate that huge defeat with your pantheon. It'd make sense if Thor and the Norse/Germanic pantheon intervened to save Germany from Roman Rule, and basically crushed the Greek pantheon in a decisive battle, forcing them nearly completely out of Germany in the process. When it comes to battles, Thor would be at the forefront, so it could certainly relate to your character.

@Rosette Christopher

Sounds absolutely perfect. Thanks for the lesson, my history is rusty.

LadyRunic, just to clarify, if I make Thor, then I can essentially proxy Odin through him if the need arises. Example: Thor recieves Orders from Odin, and thus Odin's intentions are known without my having to actually play him. Would that suffice?

[LadyRunic]

@Lucian Eeyup! I had forgotten that. Go for it Lucian and let that God of Thunder Roar.

I'm listening to God of War, don't judge me.

[Weird Tales]

I'd like to join this rp

[Rune_Alchemist]

Slowly working on Poseidon.

Really slowly. Will be done soonish, I promise xD

[LadyRunic]

@Weird Tales Draw up a character and I shall see if you fit the requirements.

@Rune_Alchemist You have time. Can't start till I have everyone's CS in the character tab.

@Hamstrong Put your character in a hider please!

[Lucian]

I shall begin Thor when I get home from work.

[Severe Triage]

Was thinking about grabbing Dagda if no one else will.

[LadyRunic]

@Severe Triage If you think you can handle him. I want to keep ALL the characters updated. No lacking on one if you Rp them.

Also, we shall be starting IC most likely either tommorrow or the day after.

[Severe Triage]

@LadyRunic Alright, I'll get a sheet written up. It'll may be done tonight but definitely no later than tomorrow.

[Hamstrong]

Can't wait for this to start ^^

[Rune_Alchemist]

@LadyRunic
I think I finally finished Poseidon. He's in the CS tab with Qel and Apep~

I will admit, Roman/Greek gods are the ones I am the least familiar with, so if there is anything at all that I perhaps fudged up or can change/make better, do tell~

[LadyRunic]

@Rune_Alchemist He's accepted.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Oh goody~

Now.

I wait for us to begin~

[LadyRunic]

And we have begun!

[Rune_Alchemist]

YAY~

I shall try to have a post up either really, really, late tonight or sometime tomorrow morning.

[Rune_Alchemist]

And I did a thing!

I managed to finish Qel's post, and I was unsure whether you had something planned for those soldiers or not so I just had Qel...be Qel and do something fairly stupid xD

I'll let you decide what you wanna do with them. @LadyRunic
I'll get a thing up for Apep and Poseidon tomorrow~

[LadyRunic]

@Hamstrong Real Quick. The Romans are still pagan themselves. And why are the Egyptians destroying Sekhmet's temple and Romans rallying? That would be the Romans and Greeks that would destroy it.
