Arterius - Goddex of Nature

<Snipped quote>

I hope that's okay; Pertius will mainly be the size of a small cat that can perch across Arterius' shoulders.

@SporkoBug

>That's fine. I'd say go ahead and move it to the characters tab of the main post.

The Odyssey

Hi! Sorry I was going to look into this yesterday but totally forgot about it. (Because I'm smart I promise)
If there's still room, I'd love to join and bring in a God/Gods (Assuming playing two characters is okay? Maybe like a God and a God-pet?)

@SporkoBug

>I can cap it at six players total (counting myself in that), but a pet would be fine assuming they can fit in a normal RV.

The Odyssey

I'll not waste time on frills or aesthetics. The premise is simple. Gods go on a road trip in an RV that functions like a TARDIS, but instead of dematerializing and rematerializing, it drives places. Like, say, through space and time. Rules are also simple, and being adults who are capable of reading, I assume that I don't need to acquaint you with the ones employed on this site. Post length is also up to one's own discretion. So long as you have something of substance it can be as short or long as you like. Beyond that I'm looking to run this with a fairly small group of people, and I'd appreciate it if you let your fellow writers know when you are unable to make a post rather than vanishing outright. Finally, character sheets aren't necessarily required, but I've provided a template regardless just in case you want to make use of one.

Note: Not every god needs a domain. Some have many, yet are weak, and some have none but are powerful. Also, as for the nature and demeanor section of the sheet, it's basically your character's personality by another name. I've only labeled it that way in case anyone wants to use Vampire the Masquerade archetypes (such as myself). Lastly, no, I do not want to see faceclaims of real people. Art is fine however.

Anyway, that should be it unless I've forgotten something.

TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

@Chris488

"No reason in particular," he lied as easily as one might breathe. "I was actually out on a stroll when I ended up here."

Samael contorted his features to display the perfect amount of confusion. Enough to be believable, yet nowhere near enough to push Anath suspicion-laden territory.

"Still not sure how that happened if I'm being honest, but I suppose that's just another one of life's many mysteries for you."

A pause, unintentional, but useful for allowing the deception to settle in nonetheless.

"What about you?" he asked, propping his fist beneath his chin as he leaned forward. Appearing and sounding more interested in her arrival than he really was. "Why'd you come here? It doesn't seem like the kind of place someone like you would frequent..."

He flashed her a disarming smile and gestured to her admittedly extravagant choice of dress.

"No offense of course!"

The Odyssey

@Zyx aahhh whose to say we can't shove a few in the trunk. By the way does it look like a straight up traditional RV or what? Like what are we going to be traveling in what does it look like?

@Dark Cloud

>Regular RV. Maybe with a bit of additions and what modern humans would consider invulnerability, but I wasn't joking when I said we're driving places.

>Mostly because the idea of several deities, some of whom look straight up inhuman, all piling into a regular looking vehicle from 21st century Earth incredibly amusing.

The Odyssey

interesting concept space for one more? trying to diversify my games... heh never done modern days games...

@DX3214

>That tag is there more for inclusion. I could have included any of the era or time tags in the check since we can just drive into the past if we like.

>We are playing gods after all. Physics? Logic? Lesser things for lesser beings.

>Also, sidenote, but I still need to figure out the actual plot. Like the base idea is eye-catching enough, but I've yet to even decide whether or not we should go to pre-existing universes or settings, so like fandom basically, or if we should stick with completely original locations. Or hell, if people want to dust off old RP worlds we could also go there. Regardless, I hope the uncertainty on that part doesn't dampen anyone's mood. I try to have at least an outline for things, but you can't plan for everything in a roleplay.

The Odyssey

@Zyx
I have no intention of overwhelming you, but if you're willing to accept another player, then I would like to join as well.

@Chris488

>I can squeeze in one more, but I'm not going higher than five participants in total. The RV functions like a TARDIS, it is not bigger on the inside like one, so any more deities and we'll be quite cramped.

The Odyssey

>Alright, got my character done. Totally not copying the Dark Tower. Not at all.

▬▬ Nature & Demeanor ▬▬

<sub>Nature
Mastermind: You are the brilliant, if underestimated, architect of destruction. Yes, you could achieve your goals through the most direct route, but such actions are for simpletons and animals. Instead, you enact complicated and lengthy plots to undo your enemies and accomplish your ends. There's nothing quite like a master plan coming together, and the shock on the faces of the fools around you when they realize your genius. You overcompensate for your own feelings of worthlessness, those inflicted upon you by others who could never understand your greatness. You'll show them all now, and they'll be forced to recognize your brilliance. You are moody, erratic, and given to overly elaborate methods of getting what you want. The simplest route is simply not your way.

Demeanor
Knave: With a sparkle in your eye, you cajole, encourage, tempt, trick, and manipulate others into exploring their darkest desires. You are the pusher, the perverter, taking the sweet and turning it into the sordid. You see yourself as a teacher of sorts – you teach people what base and feral creatures they really are. There's nothing you love more than to corrupt the innocent and do it with such panache that they never realize they've been compromised.</sub>

▬▬ Biography ▬▬

<sub>It is said in legend and in myth, that the King was never human, never one of us. Yet here he sits upon his fetid throne in the wretched approximation of one, perfectly lucid of our every wayward desire or passing whim. Here he sits amidst the ruins of a broken tower, leading us forever more into the darkness of strife everlasting...

At least that would have been the case, had he not decided to steal some poor fool's interdimensional recreational vehicle and go on an extended vacation.</sub>

▬▬ Domain/Abilities ▬▬

_{Discordia: Chaos, strife, destruction... discord. All of these are domains of the King, the foundation of his throne and the bedrock of his empire. Even that which you see before you is not his truest form, nor purest expression, if there ever was one to begin with. No, Agthalan is change incarnate. The ceaseless chaos of the void, that which surges hungrily to subsume the static shores of ordered creation. This allots him power many would consider unnatural, and rightfully so. For he can assume new forms at will, curse people with inhuman maladies and afflictions, warp the natural world on an unimaginable scale, create avatars to influence others from afar, and so much more. Even the order imposed by his great enemy, and the prison its existence maintained, could not stop him in the end.}
