Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Hael@Cyclone@poog the pig

So, Logos will be visiting Illy soon to more or less demand recompense for the intrusion into his domain and the theft of humans. Meimu, in particular, can balance the scales by agreeing to plant, protect, and encourage a single flower from Arcon onto Galabar; namely, a diamond flower. The flower will grow and spread on its on... and namely, it'll encourage the growth of trees made of diamond as well. In a few thousand years, there'll be an entire forest.

What's the catch? There's always a catch.

The process slowly changes the landscape into what you see, turning the ground under the flowers and trees into crystal and giving it sort of that giant's causeway hexagonal look. Not only that, but creatures who enter the woods wind up coming into contact with spores which change their entire physiology.

A crystal creature looks much like it did before its infection, but every muscle and organ of its body has been transformed into clear crystal. Through crystalline skin and bone, a faceted heart is visible, pumping translucent blood that refracts light and makes the creature glow from within. These creatures are seemingly mindless and will stay within the confines of the diamond forest, often staying as still as still as sentinels until some threat endangers the borders of the woods. They no longer need to eat or sleep, and seem deathless unless shattered.

Logos's sort of 'Fuck you' to the Changing Planes and the Desert.

@Dawnscroll

Lifprasil would happily sanction and protect this - balance must be achieved.

As a plus, more perches means more places for Belvast to not lay on Lifprasil's head in.

Yep. I actually REALLY love this idea

<Snipped quote by poog the pig>

Perfect!

@Cyclone @Dawnscroll

We're deciding your fates for you, if you hadn't noticed

(Seriously though, this would be a nice, temporary plot, if you two are willing to get it going. I would be happy to join in and escalate it)

@Hael

Lifprasil, if this conflict does escalate, will probably remain neutral. Plus, he's probably going to be busy fighting Dragon-Lady and keeping Belvast from stealing all of Galbar's fish to directly confront any gods.

I would be super down to this plot, though.

Gotta admit: it'd make a GREAT backstory for the eventually medieval civilizations. It sounds like something out of a Tolkien fantasy: eons ago, when man and Insidie were young, the Gods waged war across the skies...

@Hael

The fallout would make for a good return for Lifprasil to start his empire. The gods have their war, and then in the aftermath, Lifprasil 'descends' and unites humankind with his five-thousand High Lifprasilians. Provided he's not killing all his siblings.

Vulamera would probably get involved. Then she would attempt to drag those she considers her allies (read: Vakarlon, Lifprasil, and Kyre) into it. If they refused, however, she would be understanding of their wishes, and wage the war alone with Logos.

@Hael

Lifprasil would have no choice but to get involved.

He's (currently) aligned with Zeph, and (secretly) aligned with Vulamera.

I'm not a genderfluid or a Tumblr user, but gender fluids have been around literally for centuries. The term is new, but the idea of identifying with both or neither genders is very, very old, and thus not really relaTed to the recent hobby of blogging. Do your research!
Besides, ambiguous seems vague in comparison. Genderfluid, I think, is just a more accurate term for it.

EDIT: In other news, I'm apparently never going to finish my next post. It's just so much- I have to create 3 cultures and a location in one post. It's totally daunting xD

@Hael

It's too late! Jvan is the Cancer that Blogs to me, now.

I guess what made me think of thr blogging thing was the pronouns prattle.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

<Snipped quote by Hael>

I'm bored, so here's how I imagine the other gods might 'curse' poor mortals:

Astarte forces them to lick a rock that makes them explode.
Ilunabar gives them drugs and laughs as they all tragically kill one another.

Jvan makes them "beautiful" then dumps them on another planet.

Kyre single-handedly axe murders them all.

Logos says something about being kingg then compresses them all into a sugar cube.

Mammon finds some demented way to make them cannibalize one another, then twists the survivors into demons.

Niciel dumps them into the Valley of Peace and soon they're just a bunch if tree-loving hippies.

Reathos makes some ten legged, seven eyed, five mouthed, ninety-two armed predator to eat them.

Teknall throws a hammer at them and they explode a la Ashlings.

Toun cures them of imperfections such as feelings, flesh, blood, life...

Ull'yang no-scopes them from across the universe and gives them a sunburn.

Vakarlon does nothing. His insane dragon-kid just eats them all.

Vestec giggles and bad things happen.

Vowzra uses time powers to make them prematurely bald, then tells his ants to eat them all.

Zephyrion revokes their right to breathe.

Now someone needs to make a hero to collect 'em all! Managing to get all of those curses lobbed onto one character would be a feat worthy of a novel.

@Cyclone

Lifprasil just yells 'damn the gods!' and swings his sword a lot.

Edit: @Antarctic Termite wouldn't androgynous be a better term for a god? It doesn't sound very... Divine

When I hear genderfluid I just imagine Jvan as a Proffessional blogger.

With all these funny funny posts floating around, I feel like we should make a separate RP where everyone alternates gods every week, and we get to make little parody posts about them while we wait for lines in the serious RP.

I'd let Hael make a bunch of posts about Lifprasil in a heart beat

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Kho, I am aware that Heroes are by default immortal. But I am also aware that Reathos is opposed to that idea IC'ly (this is correct, right, @Legion02?). To appease Reathos, I had plotted an alternative to immortality for the Hero which Gerrik will become (to be enacted once Reathos brings the immortality issue to Teknall's attention). Gerrik will train up an apprentice. Once they are ready, Gerrik will pass the mantle of Heroism to the apprentice (call him A). Gerrik will eventually die a natural death, while A carries on as the Hero. A will then pick up an apprentice, B, and once they are both ready B will be given the status (and powers) of Hero. A will live out the rest of their natural life and die, while B carries on the legacy, picking up an apprentice. The cycle repeats.

What do you think? Of course, only one individual can be the Hero at any one time. One advantage of this setup, aside from keeping Reathos happy, is that it prevents the Hero from stagnating, mentally and skill-wise, which is important since this Hero will be primarily an innovator. If we have just one individual who is 4000 years old, they'll get bogged down in the past, and be less willing to bring about change and innovation. The apprentice system ensures that fresh minds and ideas constantly flow.

This is rather unconventional, of course. So I shall await your judgment as GM.
@Legion02 What do you think of it, too?


@Rtron, If Grot can pick up a Brush Beast in his hand and bite its head off, and we estimate Brush Beasts to be around 50-100m tall, then Grot comes out to be somewhere between 1 and 2 kilometers all.
We're going to need to rethink David and Goliath for this.


@Kangutso If Vestec is training an army, it might be a good idea for the God of War to show his face.

@BBeast

LIFPRASIL DOESN'T CARE

HE'S GOT A FLINGY SWORD

HE'LL FIGHT ANYONE

Lifprasil if he was a guitar god

So, still having trouble even starting my post on titanpad. I am at the point where i feel the need to ask:

Can someone give a me word/sentence to start with?(preferably the latter)

Kyre is currently on the moon, and all he can see from there on Galbar is the land being changed, both in form and color(spreading plant-life, new bodies of water).

@Kangutso

Kyre, upon his astral perch, would seek the wonders of the world as they shaped themselves by both divine, and mortal causes. The dust of the lunar body had become many and varied over this time; and after millennium of just silent observation, Kyre looked down to the clay which the gods sculpted mortality from and whispered: "Penis."

Edit: Lif intends to absolve his followers into his Empire. And to talk to Kyre himself. He wants to take teachings from every god, after all.

Let's start a list of ways to earn a smiting from Logos.

#1. Be Vestec.

#2

@Dawnscroll

A merit of being a ruler is having the maturity to listen to the opinions of others, and submitting to admit your mistakes. Of course, Logos is a god, so he's allowed to be the big Babby of Order. 'Sides, I'm sure you're trying to play the part as a one-sided-psychotic-God-of-Order-with-an-angsty-teenager-daughter anyway, so don't think I'm trying to be critical xP

Lifprasil is going to have a hard time doing any good in this world. Or finding any god that won't force him to hold his tongue.

Edit: Insert Jetstream Sam saying 'oh, that's good. That's REALLY good. I like that!
