I want to write, but don't ever seem to have the drive anymore. Every time I come back to this place and pop in to see how things are going, I want to come back. But I just can't seem to stick around.

At this point I think it’s safe to say I hate college, since I’m in my graduating semester with 6 classes, but I’m also pretty anxious about whatever will happen once I’m finally done.

That last month of the semester hit me real hard, but so begins the recovery process. I just want to chill out for a bit without having to think about another academic paper...

It's been 4 years so I may as well put something in here, right?
I tend to enjoy worlds verging on the bleaker side of things, not really sure why. I like 'em gritty and somewhat grounded, with a reasonable amount of realism (fun takes priority though, ofc). I guess I just like having a sense that defeat is right around the corner, though overwhelming odds are always best saved for those wonderful moments when everyone feels like a total badass regardless of victory or defeat.
I've really wanted to find an RP set in the worlds of Red Dead, Hunt: Showdown, For Honor, the Metro series, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. Any time I look I come up empty-handed, but I'd still like to find one.
Everything looks fine to me, I say Accepted. However in the future when you have a history that large, please split it into separate paragraphs.
...It was written on my phone, I couldn't make out how long it actually was. I'll do that now.

@Lugubrious -Thousands of miles! Take a stand, hold the land, make sure that everyone's ready to win! Find the speed, all you need, team up for battle we fly...fly... We fly. Gravity hurts.
I suppose I've finished another god parent sheet, isn't as long as the other because a certain someone took extra long to write up. Next I'll get a child done, and then my next after that may be the last I'll care to do...for now...cause it's actually already done...but it contains spoilers for why my chars are doing what they're doing...before I'll be ready to do it...
Name: Aruuk Gender: Male Sphere of control: The Sun and light Personality: Aruuk may spend much of his time alone, but he is still very sociable. Though he may be hesitant to speak, when he gets started he's hard to stop...though he still understands when to shut up. Sacred animal: Sky Colossus (Giant flying jellyfish that survive by turning sunlight directly into the energy they need to survive, similar to a plant) Powers: Can bend light to his will, and can wield the power of the sun in battle Planet of origin: Vekta Weapon(s): A bladed staff History: Born from the Divine Essence with the other first generation Gods, Aruuk quickly took a shine to his position as God of the Sun. Though he soon realized that his position made him rather lonely, as his important duties often kept him from spending too much free time...and on top of that, it wasn't often that any of the other gods visited him. For hundreds upon thousands of years, Aruuk managed his duties in almost complete solitude...only mingling with the other gods a few times a year, while Owik(God of Space, Time, and Dimensions) and Kalu visited him a few additional times to "make certain that he was in good health, and in a good state of mind". These few interactions managed to sate Aruuk's appetite for socialization enough that he was not driven mad by the solitary nature of his work, and it was not until Eragn's betrayal that things began to get more lively for the Sun God. Aruuk participated in the war to fight Eragn, fighting fire with fire...but, in the end, Aruuk just became another suspect for betrayal.
Owik and Kalu increased the frequency of their visits, careful not to raise Aruuk's suspicion towards their true intentions...but the Sun God already knew, and didn't mind. All that really mattered to him was that he could socialize so much more than before, and wouldn't be as lonely. Eventually, when the second generation of gods came into existence, after Isaera was created and bound to Eragn, the Goddess of Fire and Rebirth would often spend her free time conversing with Aruuk...and not too long afterwards, the Goddess Kiwo, an alternate of Owik that traveled to this dimension from another, began to pay him regular visits as well, disguising herself as a simple Demigod.
Eventually Kiwo betrayed his trust, and set a trap to capture the Sun God and send him back to her dimension; where his light would be drained by the dark gods such as "Anti-Srah" and even his own alternate self. The Vekta of his home dimension was plunged into absolute darkness, while many of his fellow gods began to panic. Owik and Kalu, however, were some of the few who knew what was happening; and so they developed a plan. Owik then confronted Kiwo, challenging her to a duel...all the while trying to convince her to help, doubling as a distraction to keep her from realizing their plans. Meanwhile, as Owik kept Kiwo occupied, Kalu located Aruuk and started formulating a plan to free him from his bindings. A grueling, month-long battle broke out once Kalu was discovered by the "anti-gods, and before long the King of the Gods was struggling to defend Aruuk...much less himself. Drained of so much energy, Aruuk could only watch as the tides of battle slowly began to turn...as Kalu began to lose...and all the hope that Aruuk had been holding tightly onto for that entire month began to fade rapidly. That is, until Kiwo appeared beside him and set the Sun God free. Owik then appeared to aid Kalu in battle, bringing Srah(Goddess of Portals and the Void) with him as reinforcements. Kiwo restored Aruuk's power to him, and so the Sun God joined the fight; and with their combined might, they held the hostile gods at bay and granted Owik, Kiwo, and Srah enough time to safely transport everyone back home safely. Ever since that incident, Aruuk has come to appreciate having some time to himself. Other: None
This one actually kinda got the half-ass treatment, and that's unfortunate.
Name: Eragn/Isaera Gender: Male/Female Sphere of control: Fire, Destruction and Rebirth Personality: Eragn is a furious, raging brute that thinks only of spreading his flames and burning away all life. He is tricky to deal with, and has been known to willingly do anything to fulfill his primal desires.
Though, if Eragn was one side of a single coin, then Isaera would be the other; such as while Eragn brings only destruction and devastation, Isaera brings the promise of life and regrowth. Isaera is calm, kind, and peaceful...however; she still can be overwhelmed by the impression of Eragn when angered, just as she can influence Eragn to commit acts of mercy with her own impression.
Sacred animal: Phoenix(Closest Earth equivalent) Powers: Control over fire, levitation and flight, rebirth(Like a Phoenix, swapping gender/personas each time), and ability to become the embodiment of flame(Body becomes one of pure fire and flame). Planet of origin: Vekta Weapon(s): Eragn typically uses a flaming, spiked war mace, a large, two-handed battle axe, or two flaming axes. Isaera typically uses dual Kamas.
History: Eragn was of the first generation of gods to populate the God Realm of Odalisi and rule over the Mortal Realm of Vekrashtan, originally created by the Divine Essence to serve as the benevolent and passionate God of Nature. However, he did not remain satisfied in this position for very long; as he quickly became intensely fascinated by fire, and it's ability to burn away the fragile life that grew on Vekta. He then pleaded with Kalu, King of the Gods and God of the Realms, to convince the Will of the Divine Essence to transfer the responsibility of fire to Eragn. Kalu reluctantly agreed, and later succeeded in fulfilling Eragn's request; and so the former God of Nature was reborn...as the God of Fire, and the embodiment of flame...
For a time, Eragn retained his benevolent persona...letting fire sprout only in conditions that were ripened for such an occurance, allowing old forests to be born anew. Then came the fateful day that the other Gods had feared of, but never truly expected; it happened during a normal visit to the realm of Vekrashtan, while Eragn was talking with Tholduum, God of Earth(and now Nature, at the time), about what should be burned away. At some point throughout the conversation, as Eragn had begun working on clearing forest, the God of Fire suddenly snapped, becoming highly enraged and turning to lash out at Tholduum. The mighty God of Earth was scorched and wounded, but still managed to escape back to Odalisi in a state of confusion over the betrayal. Tholduum told the other gods of what Eragn had done, and told them that flames threatened to engulf the entire planet...leaving nothing, no chance of regrowth whatsoever...and so the gods moved in to intervene. A war began between Eragn and the other gods, with him furiously holding his own against the odds...lasting for 100 years before Eragn was finally subdued and imprisoned in Daeglu, a hellish prison realm perfectly capable of containing a god, and peace was finally restored throughout Odalisi and Vekrashtan.
Several centuries after the imprisonment of Eragn, the gods realized that life on Vekta was both stagnating in dry temperatures and struggling to survive in the cold...as there was no more fire to be spoken of. Eventually, Kalu decided upon a plan to fix this problem, requiring a sort of curse to be placed upon Eragn. The gods then gathered together and held a ceremony; creating a single, new god soul from the Divine Essence...molding it's personality as they wished, but never giving it true form. Then, after the soul was made, the gods fused the new soul with the body of Eragn, and set him free. He proceeded to blaze across the surfaces of Vekta, his reign of destruction beginning once more...until Kalu challenged Eragn to a duel, a challenge which the God of Fire accepted. During the fight, Tholduum and Vassia, Goddess of Water, came and struck Eragn down from behind...killing him.
From the ashes of Eragn, Isaera was born...the first of many gods to arrive in the second generation. She nurtured the soil that had been scorched, fertilizing it and allowing it to support future life...knowing that it would all be burned again one day. And so the cycle began; Isaera would die when the world needed to purge, allowing Eragn to burn as he pleased for only a short time...then Eragn would die, allowing the world to grow again and flourish.
Other: 1. Eragn and Isaera share one, singular "body" betwixt the two of them, and essentially "take turns" controlling said body with death and rebirth being what cycles through their turns. 2. Eragn and Isaera are immortal, but they are not invincible. One of them can be "killed" in battle, but the other will always regenerate from the ashes. Too many deaths within a period of time begins to slow this process, until eventually the ashes will become dormant...at this point, only the Divine Flame held in Odalisi can revive them.
Name: Ariakami (Or "Ari") Gender: Female Godly parents: Tholduum(God of Earth) and Isaera(Goddess of Fire and Rebirth) Sphere of control: Earth, Fire, Nature(Vegetation dominant) Personality: Ariakami carries herself as a bold and strong-willed goddess, while others often view her as being stubborn and even quick to anger. Deep down inside, Ari is actually quite prone to fear; resulting from damage to her god-soul caused by a catastrophic event that occurred soon after her birth. Sacred animal: Earth Canary Powers: Ariakami can physically manipulate the earth around her with her movements. Such as creating a shockwave by stomping the ground, or throwing unusually large boulders.
She also has control over fire, and can create and cast flames from her bare hands - assuming she has the energy to manage.
Having control of both earth and fire allows Ari to combine them and create volcanic attacks, but she is not familiar with these abilities and they require a lot of her energy and focus to use correctly.
Ari is innately in tune with nature, and does not scare or startle animals while alone unless she means to do so. She can control nearby vegetation and incite rapid growth, but cannot control animals whatsoever. Weapon(s):
"Valor", one of the two Khopesh blades originally wielded by Kalu, King of the Gods. Forged by the Divine Flame, Valor can never be destroyed nor outmatched by any other weapon so long as it's wielder is an Odalisian God and remains untouched by fear. Should anyone who is not an Odalisian God attempt to wield Valor, the blade will disappear. Should the wielder experience fear, the sword begins to weaken; and if the experienced fear is strong enough, the blade will once again disappear. History: Ariakami was birthed by a mystical flower that was grown from the delicate bond between Tholduum and Isaera, in the well maintained and fertilized gardens of Odalisi. Born a little before the collapse of civilization on Vekta, Ari existed just long enough to feel the pain and fear that accompanied the death of trillions of living organisms all across Vekta's surface. Experiencing such a cataclysmic event at such a young age resulted in her soul being forever scarred, leaving her exceptionally prone to fear. Owik(God of Time, Space, and Dimensions) knew that Vekta would never recover from this cataclysm, but knew that while he and the other gods relied on the mortals for their strength; Ariakami and the other Demigods of Odalisi did not, and would therefore survive far past the final days of Vekta.
Without speaking a word to the other gods, Owik began to reach out into the vastness of space, looking to find future homes for the demigods to reside. Eventually he came across a handful of suitable planets, Earth among them, and began to make necessary preparations. Others: Ariakami is hesitant to wield Valor in combat, viewing it more as a ceremonial weapon and valuing it as a reminder of the home she left behind.
Name: Kalu Gender: Male Sphere of control: King of the Gods in Odalisi, God of the Realms under the Divine Essence, and the specific virtues of Honor, Nobility, and Respect Personality: Kalu is calm-spirited and understanding, and his duty and generosity to Vekrashtan remains very much underrated by the mortals on Vekta...but he doesn't mind. He knows that he is what keeps each of the realms separate from one another, and he knows that his duty as God of the Realms is what keeps the mortals of Vekrashtan alive and away from complete and total devastation. Even though Kalu was tasked with keeping the realms separated, several mortals have found "back-doors" to bypass his control; and so he must constantly keep a wary eye turned to Vekta.
But the benevolent Kalu would not dare to neglect his other duties as the King of the Gods, and routinely checks in with the other gods to make certain that they are well and able to maintain their duties...if they are not, then he acts accordingly. He also acts as the communicator between the other gods and the Will of the Divine Essence, negotiating things such as turning mortals into Demigods or the like.
And even with all his authorities and duties that he must maintain, he still expresses kindness and remains a gentle and respectful god. Any sign of stress is completely and utterly absent from his face, but...it can still be seen in his weary eyes. Sacred animal: Wolf Powers: Kalu has the innate ability to inspire others to follow him Planet of origin: Vekta Weapon(s): Two khopesh swords, a shield, and a spear/polearm History: Kalu was born into the first generation of gods, and was tasked with ruling over the original realm of Vekrashtan under the influence of the Divine Essence. In the beginning, Kalu's tasks were simple and easy, and all that needed to be done was keeping order between the existing gods. There were not yet any civilizations to speak of anywhere across the surface of Vekta, and it was only after the birth of the second generation of gods that civilizations began to appear. And as time went on more realms were created by the Divine Essence, designed for more specific and specialized purposes; such as Odalisi, a realm for the gods to call their own and do with as they pleased; Solustier, a conduit for souls from the mortal realm, Vekrashtan, to pass through and await judgement and redistribution; Uunodas, a hellish realm created to punish souls that were deemed unworthy with little hope for redemption; Pylasa, a heavenly paradise for souls that are either deemed worthy or have redeemed themselves to enjoy for eternity; Daeglu, an infernal purgatory designed to contain "misbehaving" gods or any such god-like beings; and finally, Hexerazyl, an empty void where only the most vile evils are dispatched and sealed away...and is also where void magic originates from.
Throughout the several millennia that followed after the birth of the first generation, Kalu would risk his own existence numerous times to intervene and settle disputes between gods, protect his siblings, and even to protect the mortal realm. Kalu has valiantly lead his brothers and sisters throughout the entirety of their existence, never hesitating to put himself in danger in order to protect his siblings. When Eragn went on a rampage, scorching Tholduum and the surface of Vekta; Kalu stepped into harm's way in order to challenge the God of Fire to a dual, and distract him long enough to allow the other gods to strike Eragn down. Also, when Aruuk, God of the Sun, was kidnapped by the Goddess Kiwo, an alternate of Owik(God of Space, Time, and Dimensions) that had traveled from an alternate dimension; Kalu fought alone and against all odds in a month long battle against the hostile gods of that new dimension to rescue Aruuk...nearly losing in the process, before Owik came to his aid with not only reinforcements from their home dimension, but a convinced and converted Kiwo. There are many more situations in which Kalu risked his own destruction for the safety of his fellow gods, but none of which would compare to what he would go through to in an attempt to save the planet of Vekta...
The civilizations that rose up across the planet's surface would often go to war against one another, often for pitifully petty reasons. This sort of behavior was to be expected out of the mortals by now, as it had been their way for millennia. But all the most recent, more catastrophic wars had been caused by a greater reason...a great, powerful, and mysterious source of evil...one so elusive and dangerous that all of the gods were tasked with searching for it, but to no avail. By this time and age, the mortals were replacing their gods with technology and science, leaving the gods in a weakened state...the magic that was once so bountiful in Vekrashtan was long since dried up and gone. And so, with the gods preoccupied, the mysterious evil force twisted and contorted the strings of it's puppets to it's villainous will...setting the stage for a massive cataclysmic event, unlike anything the planet had ever faced...and the gods hardly even noticed, at least...not until it was already too late to prevent. Vekta was subsequently engulfed in nuclear flames, killing trillions of mortal beings and creatures alike, while mutating hundreds of thousands more into mindless monsters...but most importantly, it nearly severed the connection between Vekrashtan and the gods entirely...leaving the gods weaker than ever before. Kalu used the last of his strength to travel to Vekrasthan, and disguise himself as a hopeful survivor in the new, bleak world that was once the beautiful Vekta. He discovered that in the three centuries after the nuclear detonations, the mortals had begun to rebuild their world...but their progress was slowed and halted by constant attacks from bandits, mutants, and a strange army of mutants known to the mortals as the "Umbranodas"(or simply "The Umbra"). Hearing the stories of the Umbra, Kalu began to suspect that the mysterious evil was involved...but only once he investigated the stories for himself did he realize; the mysterious evil caused the cataclysm in order to kill off the mortals that gave the gods their powers, it wanted to permanently separate the gods from this realm...so that it could rule over Vekrashtan itself, content in knowing that it was responsible for the death of the gods. Kalu's suspicions were confirmed upon investigating rumors concerning the homeland and origin of the Umbra, as when he made his final approach to the army's supposed home he saw what appeared to be a limitless mass of overgrown and unkempt jungle...and he knew then that only a source of magic could've allowed this much, and especially this dense, of vegetation to grow. Undeniable proof of the mysterious evil's involvement came when Kalu faced the Umbra in combat for the first time...they weren't just some mutants, they were undead...and magic was flowing through them as if it were their blood.
From that point on, Kalu lived in the former country known as Seeyre, while his god powers slowly began to dissipate and fail him. He spent his time working as a guard in the most fortified city left in the world...waiting, planning, hoping...until finally an opportunity revealed itself. He took a job from the leader of Seeyre, formally entitled and addressed as the "Pa'haroh", and was directed to assemble a team and locate six disks...though he wasn't told much else. So he set off, eventually finding himself a team of survivors, eventually finding the disks...only to find out that the mysterious evil became alerted to his godly presence, sending the full force of the Umbral army sweeping over the wasteland...they were running out of time. As the Umbral army ravaged and destroyed all that lay in it's path, Kalu and his team were faced with crossing a large stretch of ocean...one that was well known for being the home of various sea monsters, as well as the legendary "Abyssal". Kalu knew that he had made an impression upon his followers and trusted that they would continue the mission until the very end, this much he had been sure of for quite some time...though even as he kept reassuring himself of this fact, he found it hard to believe...he didn't know why he found it so hard to believe, and pushed the doubt from his mind. It was when he finally saw it, that he realized why he didn't believe himself...when the Abyssal rose out of the water from beneath their escort ship, the size of the vessel dwarfed by the beast's gaping maw...it was only when he heard the screams of pure, primal terror coming from the crew of that ship as it was crushed and they were eaten...what he had felt...why he couldn't believe himself...it was fear. Kalu could never remember having felt fear before, and as the new sensation overwhelmed him he struggled to maintain his brave and hopeful composure. But deep down he was terrified...everything that he, his brothers, and his sisters had worked for millennia on end to cultivate and achieve...it was all threatened now...soon, it might all end...the gods would all die out, and Kalu began to feel like there was no more hope.
Thanks to sheer luck, and the wind blowing in their favor, Kalu and his team outran and survived the encounter, suffering only the one ship as a loss...but they all knew that they would have to sail back over the very same waters to return home. They arrived at their destination; the island of Ravendu, known at the time as "The Standing City" due to the fact that the entire city remained almost entirely intact. Here, they would decrypt the information that was held on the 6 disks, and unlock the secret to defeating not only the Umbra, but the great darkness that had consumed the planet as well. During this process, however, they were attacked, and many of their supporting crewman were killed in the skirmish. Now they were left with only enough men to sail one ship back to the mainland, carrying the secret with it. Kalu knew they would never make it in only one boat, and even as he - the King of Gods, renowned for his valor and resolve - had lost hope...his followers hadn't, and it was only because of them that he continued on this far past the Abyssal. Kalu was at a loss as for what to do, his fear clouding his mind...leading to frustration, anger, confusion...he knew that this would have to be the end, whether for the gods or the mysterious evil; he didn't know, but he had to come to terms and accept that this would be the end. And it was just after this train of thoughts rampaged through his mind that he heard it...one of his companions volunteering to load the spare ship with as many explosives as it could carry, saying that she could sail the ship ahead of theirs and blow the beast apart. Kalu stood up and denied her request, announcing that he would take her place, as he had served his purpose in this world. His followers pleaded and opposed, but he would have none of it; they were young, but they were more than capable of fending for themselves. Kalu told them that he was getting to weak to continue on, and that he trusted them to complete the mission and save the world from darkness.
Saying their final goodbyes after loading one of the ships with enough explosives to crater a small village, Kalu and his followers parted ways. He found it difficult to sail the ship alone, but he figured that he was managing well enough. He felt a certain harmony being carried in on the the salty breeze, he heard it in the waves as they splashed against the hull of the boat...he felt as if he was finally complete, as if his entire life as a god was building up towards this one, final moment. Kalu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, smelling only a putrid air but envisioning it as having smelt as heavenly as it did back when Vekta was still healthy and green...and then; the sound of creaking wood and splashing water accompanied by a moist and motionless air, and finally a sudden wave of intense heat crashing over his body...after that, he felt nothing.
Kalu awoke in Odalisi to see the other gods gathered around him, wondering what was going on and why they were all just staring at him without speaking a single word. He realized he was laying down, and moved to get up before asking about the fate of Vekta...only he didn't move...he couldn't move! Kalu's eyes went wide with shock as he looked across the blank and emotionless faces of his brothers and sisters, until his eyes met those of Tholduum; the God of Earth then kneeling beside the immobilized Kalu. He opened is mouth and paused to think over his words, and spoke in a softened voice to the King of Gods, God of the Realms...his own king, his brother, and his friend...he told Kalu that he had spent up almost all of the power he'd had left, that he could no longer move about on his own, and that it was only a matter of time before he would expend the last of his energy and die. Kalu insisted on asking about the fate of Vekta, and Tholduum hesitated...then said that Kalu's band of followers had succeeded in eradicating the darkness, and as the God of Earth saw the happiness in Kalu's eyes...his emotionless face of stone turned into one of sadness. He struggled to tell Kalu that it was too late...Vekta was dying, the gods were dying...and nothing could be done.
Although, their children would survive; as they did not rely on mortals for their power like their parents.
Other: Kalu is now in a crippled state, and cannot move on his own accord I think I made his history way too long, but I got carried away. My bad, and my apologies.
Alright, will do. Next one will probably be done in a couple days at this rate ^.^' Though the next God will probably be shorter, so idk.

@ArkmageddonCat Cool, this world of yours is v interesting. :O
Why thank you, I take great pride in my ideas. If you find it THAT interesting, I could totally PM what I've got in my Pantheon notepad so far(lots of shit is unfinished or needs updating, though). :P
To prove I'm still here, I've finished an original god sheet...which is one I'm highly considering using as a parent...cause I'm not so sure about them.
Name: Eragn/Isaera Gender: Male/Female Sphere of control: Fire, Destruction and Rebirth Personality: Eragn is a furious, raging brute that thinks only of spreading his flames and burning away all life. He is tricky to deal with, and has been known to willingly do anything to fulfill his primal desires.
Though, if Eragn was one side of a single coin, then Isaera would be the other; such as while Eragn brings only destruction and devastation, Isaera brings the promise of life and regrowth. Isaera is calm, kind, and peaceful...however; she still can be overwhelmed by the impression of Eragn when angered, just as she can influence Eragn to commit acts of mercy with her own impression.
Sacred animal: Phoenix(Closest Earth equivalent) Powers: Control over fire, levitation and flight, rebirth(Like a Phoenix, swapping gender/personas each time), and ability to become the embodiment of flame(Body becomes one of pure fire and flame). Planet of origin: Vekta Weapon(s): Eragn typically uses a flaming, spiked war mace, a large, two-handed battle axe, or two flaming axes. Isaera typically uses dual Kamas.
History: Eragn was of the first generation of gods to populate the God Realm of Odalisi and rule over the Mortal Realm of Vekrashtan, originally created by the Divine Essence to serve as the benevolent and passionate God of Nature. However, he did not remain satisfied in this position for very long; as he quickly became intensely fascinated by fire, and it's ability to burn away the fragile life that grew on Vekta. He then pleaded with Kalu, King of the Gods and God of Respect and Nobility, to convince the Will of the Divine Essence to transfer the responsibility of fire to Eragn. Kalu reluctantly agreed, and later succeeded in fulfilling Eragn's request; and so the former God of Nature was reborn...as the God of Fire, and the embodiment of flame...
For a time, Eragn retained his benevolent persona...letting fire sprout only in conditions that were ripened for such an occurance, allowing old forests to be born anew. Then came the fateful day that the other Gods had feared of, but never truly expected; it happened during a normal visit to the realm of Vekrashtan, while Eragn was talking with Tholduum, God of Earth(and now Nature, at the time), about what should be burned away.

Tholduum told the other gods of what Eragn had done, and told them that flames threatened to engulf the entire planet...leaving nothing, no chance of regrowth whatsoever...and so the gods moved in to intervene. A war began between Eragn and the other gods, with him furiously holding his own against the odds...lasting for 100 years before Eragn was finally subdued and imprisoned in Daeglu, a hellish prison realm perfectly capable of containing a god, and peace was finally restored throughout Odalisi and Vekrashtan.
Several centuries after the imprisonment of Eragn, the gods realized that life on Vekta was both stagnating in dry temperatures and struggling to survive in the cold...as there was no more fire to be spoken of.

Then, after the soul was made, the gods fused the new soul with the body of Eragn, and set him free. He proceeded to blaze across the surfaces of Vekta, his reign of destruction beginning once more...until Kalu challenged Eragn to a duel, a challenge which the God of Fire accepted. During the fight, Tholduum and Vassia, Goddess of Water, came and struck Eragn down from behind...killing him.
From the ashes of Eragn, Isaera was born...the first of many gods to arrive in the second generation. She nurtured the soil that had been scorched, fertilizing it and allowing it to support future life...knowing that it would all be burned again one day. And so the cycle began; Isaera would die when the world needed to purge, allowing Eragn to burn as he pleased for only a short time...then Eragn would die, allowing the world to grow again and flourish.
Other: 1. Eragn and Isaera share one, singular "body" betwixt the two of them, and essentially "take turns" controlling said body with death and rebirth being what cycles through their turns. 2. Eragn and Isaera are immortal, but they are not invincible. One of them can be "killed" in battle, but the other will always regenerate from the ashes. Too many deaths within a period of time begins to slow this process, until eventually the ashes will become dormant...at this point, only the Divine Flame held in Odalisi can revive them.
It's been 4 years so I may as well put something in here, right?
I tend to enjoy worlds verging on the bleaker side of things, not really sure why. I like 'em gritty and somewhat grounded, with a reasonable amount of realism (fun takes priority though, ofc). I guess I just like having a sense that defeat is right around the corner, though overwhelming odds are always best saved for those wonderful moments when everyone feels like a total badass regardless of victory or defeat.
I've really wanted to find an RP set in the worlds of Red Dead, Hunt: Showdown, For Honor, the Metro series, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. Any time I look I come up empty-handed, but I'd still like to find one.
