Duel of the gods

@Divinity
I never asked for you to change your character.
The parameters of the duel and of the realm should have in no way effected your person.
but I never asked Corban to register, and I never rejected him. - - - - And I won't. My character comes from humble beginnings and has not become noticeably exuberant, but I never required that from anyone else (@Framing a Moose).

Duel of the gods

Well 3 spots are absolutely open. Perhaps 4, however
@Framing a Moose, we can carry on without them (the allotted other 3 participants) if you agree to format a Character Profile to an appropriate standard.

I signed in only to PM LeeRoy that he is still welcome to participate, but that given the Context and Content of this Link he was completely out-of-place and off-the-ball, insulting as well as insubordinate.
"You can't be patient enough to make sure the group is co-ordinated leeroy/divinity?" one might ask... but w/e

I even filled out a profile sheet last night to give an example of how a character may have developed, so that you could run through it quickly on your own with little impairment. and I get here to find out they just don't want to acknowledge the first page / (the PROPOSAL*)...
I almost feel rattled... but the legitimate term is, 'compelled'.

I'll edit this out later if you're not incline to reply 'Framin'a'Moose' so that it doesn't have any bearing on your reputation here.
But I feel everyone needs to see this.

Duel of the gods

what r u suggesting: that You never read the first Post in this topic?
or that you want to wear an ass-hat into battle with a Mary-sue character because you can't comprehend the expense a Magus has to spend to get where he is?
I am waiting for coherent, competent combatants to accept the challenge.
I am not rushing into a mosh pit with you because you submitted a comment here.
I am not nearly out of my way.

Now do not respond Or I will report you.
there is only one way to verify the validity of your persona. accounting for it* Otherwise, we're without a standard for conduct in battle, and your power limits are irrational and unproportional, and without regulation.

Duel of the gods

Pure sparing.

@Divinity Although I have not taken it upon myself to formally write my own profile yet, to make it fare, You are not required to remake your characters at all. You simply can't have them march around wearing an Ass-hat and still participate in the duel. Use any of your characters, developed or not, and coherently express their competency and the reasons in the profile sheets I have prepared.
~ If you feel I have forced you to make your character conform. please express any conflicts of interest in your character, technique or world preference. You skipped a day of considering that topic. So we went with:
- NO being an elf [for good reasons] & no Draconians or Warcraft Orcs in the world.
- Meanwhile you can't hold 'excaliber'[epic items*] nor have a god's peculiar favor.~

Pure Sparing ~ with no ass-hats (mary sue - God modding); Which was specified in the First Comments I made.
what confused you? :S :P

Pending an agreement to the Code - it has been edited briefly in vblue

This Challenge is still open to 1 more person, and The other challengers, two if not three of the other challengers are pending acceptance.

if you missed it. you should re-read, as all my content was relatively importantly, I half-heartedly covered LeeRoy's suggestion to discuss necessary times between posts; "Combat will be turn based. Written in real time, and posted as edited submissions afterwards, by both parties."

Duel of the gods

Alright, as no one replied. We will move on to phase 3
phase 2 summary: NO Draconians or Warcraft style orcs (as they are too awesome to take from their creators as though they are Open-source). We will however have various forms of lizard humanoids, ogres and ghouls.
All other standard fantasy genre creatures are valid, as well as exceptional additions you feel inclined to add (with descriptions and hopefully, archtypes to account for the behaviour of the creatures.)

No elven players (you may request an explanation at a later time {it is not merely the immortality}.)

& Magical Items are accepted in the world and the duel.

>
I was sort of anticipating a Page to be started by LeeRoy, but it is not important now. I will begin by handing out the Profile Sheets after everyone agrees to the Code. They are intended to be in your Personal Messages. To keep the method of approach privileged, and the character development 'secluse' but I ... *sigh* I will send them in private.

The Profiles serve to ensure that if God-modding is detected the accused must be able to account for the competency of the character coherently in their character profile; to ensure that you bring a mortal, lifelike character forward.

The Code:
In this profile include the emotional or intelectual or phsyical relation the character has to the experience.
If your character is limited to physical relations he is not a competant caster, and your application was fraudulent.
so please include sentiment, as it helps us understand intuition, motivation, inspiration, comprehension.. - all of which are very important for the character's development.
NO involvement in Time travel + no favor from Time travel. No factual time travel - although it can be used as a reference to some form of inspiration.
<the code is also consistent of all my previous specifications, and continued reinforcement to encourage a coherent character development.>

Combat will be turn based. Written in real time, and posted as edited submissions afterwards, by both parties. Interruptions will be introduced as an audience and then a similar form will be submitted by the third combatant after a turn based Duel(in that submission). the previous fighters will then submit their perspectives on that event + relative information. and so forth.

AN audience can attend

Duel of the gods

PAGE 2 ~World Building:

Divinity is unstipulable :
One God;
hosts of angels; &
demons (power, possession, cryptic)/daemons(for crude categorization: deities {I feel wrong about that division...}
[acolytes are spell casters, same as clerics. but they pay for their spells inevitably]), multiple dimensions.
~~~
{I did not say, "undebatable". I can make my stand as to why it is unstipulable.}

rules of Posession [& The Existence Of], : of relics, Creation relics, divine gifts, enchantments + charms, alchemy (healing + environment magic {this would include teleporting and manipulation.}), spells with criteria, etc.. [if anything else]
Your Character my not possess Relics of ungodly proportions.
Your character may possess no Artifacts of worldly renown.
Your character may not have any item which demonstrates the bias of a god (God created the World and that which is within, no more relics then the firsts) towards your character. (gods are honor bound to serve reality holistically) (they are only biased towards principals, not individuals or groups) {this rule does not apply to demons, as those are games of trickery and debt}
The possession of an Enchanted Item must be rationalized appropriately.
Potions need sources.
Spells with criteria require sources for all the material used. To justify your lifestyle and preparedness.
Do we have relics in our world? ; group decision. (yes/no/maybe?)

species which Are Not present? ; group decision. (ie. Dwarves, Orcs, goblins etc.. these change and alter the archtype varieties of our characters lives)

Politics are standard: Rivalry, selfishness, human attitude, loyalty, guilds, debt , Fear (of magus, masters and the consequence of failed casting attempts) etc... - are all relative to acquiring/experience with magic. And so, in your profiles, you will be expected to account for settings.
- Magic should Not be more common than 7/10-1, 14/17-1 or even 20+ to 1. so this needs addressing -

... {editting} voice your opinions and this evening we will finalize this phase. add points that need covering please.[color=00746b][/color]

Duel of the gods

@Framing a Moose
I do not know how to classify that as a Warlock instead of a Magician.
Your a Trick wielder then, and not a Magic User.
A spellcaster none the less and thus a valid participant.
But, a Warlock, I would like to suggest, and this is still open to debate, Is one magus [an adept spellcaster] which will make a pact with the devil. [*edit: "correction," Would**]
"A Gambler of doubt, but not of luck."

Furthermore
[@Roleplayerguild.com]
I am vying for the attention of the elite Spellcasters here. I hope you all gravitate her over time. I may not duel you, nor do I credit myself the skill. But If I am to fight this battle, I want it to be seen, SO that there will not likely be another one. This is my showdown of wit.

@LeeRoy agreed. it is a capacitor for arcane intuition. I never even considered that.

Duel of the gods

@Framing a Moose
have you read and understood the set rules for the duel?
I would leave the battlegrounds open to you, if you agree to meet the requirements.

@Divinity
Agreed.
Mages are learned
Wizards naturally wise and discerning
Sorcerers intuitive.
Warlocks ambitious.

I could not have put it simpler myself.
If I tried now.. diluted in originality...A mage relies on knowledge related skill.
A wizard relies on exercised knowledge.
A sorcerer relies on will, and experience.
A Warlock, not categorized to any of the three as a Standard is generally {for an archtype} [ and this is up for dispute, ] Risqué ~ Which is not something another Class is specifically not.
Druids have a Tap, but are not limited to the tap, but it distinctly separates their ambition and ego from their magic, thus appearing to limit them. Similar to a Paladin or Cleric, but connected to Wilderness instead of the Impact on Beings of Dominion.

So thank you for demonstrating that there are, and you have knowledge of reliable sources.
Not Reliable because I agree*** But reliable because, These are ArchTypes* {stereotypical archtypes}.

Duel of the gods

@Divinity
We call upon You here now, to bring forth the knowledge you bear which we all need to hear.
The differences in the Proprietary powers of Sorcerers, Wizards and Mages:
please, if you would do me the honors. As I myself attempted to allude to this very crucial variation in tactic.

Duel of the gods

I am unsure if I wish to place the Profile sheets here at this time. Are we limiting this Battle to 3 characters?
or shall we wait.
I think it is fitting that we create the world prior to progressing.
and then I will set the stage for the duel and see what remarks you have to be made.

I will be the Boardmaster. SO I will explain how the combat will be measured, and you can rebuttal there after.
