You do it.... Please?

Rising: A New Age of Gods

I hurriedly rewrote the post because I could. Maybe people will begin to emerge once more now there's IC activity.

Rising: A New Age of Gods

Rucks Kennithson.- Somewhere in the Nevada desert - 3 miles from Vegas.

Rucks looked at his watch, 4 hours. Shit, he'd gone over and almost missed his flight to his Sisters house in England. He needed to get there in 9 hours or he'd miss his Nieces birthday, something he'd promised he would turn up for months ago.

He'd been practising his new-found skills and could easily travel a hundred metres at any given time, he didn't even need to focus for it anymore. Being a God really took the learning curve away - rather boring if you asked Rucks. Anyway the extra hour allowed him to list his abilities:

1. Instantaneous travel - he could travel anywhere within a 100 metre radius of his current location. The down side was that he couldn't increase this range even if he focused and it seemed to have a one second 'lock out' which left him wide open.

2. Manipulation of the winds - a natural ability to have considering his domain. There wasn't really much he couldn't do with this power so long as there were brief winds around him. Heck he could probably use someone's breath if he so desired.

3. Flight - This took Rucks an entire hour to develop alone. Mastering the ability hadn't even occurred to him yet. All the ability really required him to do was funnel air around him at a constant pace, never allowing it to leave his influence. As soon as some air escaped the flight was broken. As a result he needed to really concentrate on this one. It may take him weeks to be able to use it in combat.

4. Ethereal messaging - This ones rather boring. It happened when Rucks was writing in the sand to determine his priorities. Simply put if he wrote something anywhere he would be able to engrave it there. This was taken further when Rucks wrote down something simpler. A sigil followed by one word. He had been using his name so far. This ability allowed him to then transfer that message elsewhere. Useful.

Now, what to do before he left? There were several blips on his mind. Too many for them to all be gods... Perhaps this would be the right time to test his messaging system? After all it was one of his domains so it would probably be useful at some point. He scrawled the sign in the air, the sigil consisting of what seemed to be an asterisk within some form of musical note and one word: Tap

Rucks had gathered that his name would better be private from all the gods as of now. He'd read that ancient cultures considered them to have power - perhaps it was true? Anyway. Should the others receive the message it would float in front of them. The word was simply an instruction. Tap the entity and the message would open out; it's contents? Two simple words: Chaos ensues.

Maybe that would cause something interesting to happen later. For now Rucks had a plane to catch.

I have a post sitting around. But not on this device so it'll be Sunday when I post again. Unless I end up writing something else which I doubt since I can remember what my ther post entailed.

Rising: A New Age of Gods

I'm actually staying at my Nan's not a hotel. This turn of events mean I have internet and stuff. Hurrah!

Rising: A New Age of Gods

So. I'm kind of alternating between using my dads 3G as a personal hotspot and using Bluetooth connection to try and steal it from other people. Going well so far so I can post every once in a while even if it's while I'm driving.

Rucks Kennithson.- Somewhere in the Nevada desert - 3 miles from Vegas.

The Nevada desert is a surprisingly good place to figure out your powers. No one's around and it's a large empty space, ideal for those larger ideas. Three hours? That was plenty of time to spare.

The first concept of Rucks' domain was the most simple to master: Travel.

As it happens Rucks wasn't a runner. he was lacking in the stamina department when it came to his long distance but anything shorter than 100 meters was manageable. What if he could make travel instantaneous though? He'd share a shit ton on travel expenses that's for sure. Close his eyes, picture somewhere, will his movement and open his eyes. Nothing. Exactly the same place. Maybe the three miles to his hotel room was too much?

If at first you don't succeed then try again, maybe you won't fuck it up the second time. Perhaps this time he would only try a few feet? Close your eyes, picture the destination and will the movement. If he did this correctly Rucks would be next to a boulder or some sort. Open your eyes, perfect. Perhaps there would be a better way to travel larger distances? He would figure that out in a second.

The second and third concepts of his domain would be more difficult: The Skies and the Winds.

Perhaps he could master flight? No, after his earlier failure he felt that would be too advanced. Perhaps simple manipulation of the air around him was a better place to start, maybe pickup some pebbles? Concentrate on what's around you, divert the winds and apply it to the object, funnel them around the mass until the resulting pressure moves it to your will. Something simple was probably an overstatement, an hour went by until the stone decided to move. Even then the effort had exhausted him just trying to manipulate the winds. From his endeavours however he had learnt a concept about the power he was attempting to harness:

Much like energy the winds he controlled could not be created or destroyed from thin air; they can only be manipulated. Three clauses to this rule were:
A. The air could be manipulated to his will, this included expansions and reductions. However in spirit of the first rule the wider he spread the winds the less powerful they were, an inverse proportion of power.
B. While winds can't be created they can be merged and sundered. This means that rather than one incredibly large stream with little power instead three smaller streams which move independently of each other would be created.
C. Winds don't like to be kept still, as a result they have to keep constant momentum making immobilising enemies incredibly difficult, perhaps this was less of a clause and more of an ineptitude in Rucks' abilities.

The final concept of his domain was probably best left untouched at this moment: messaging.

He hadn't a clue how to manipulate something like that. Perhaps later he would have some form of epiphany.

I am leaving on a one week camping trip tomorrow. I believe some campsites will have suitable wifi for me to post from. If it's infrequent I'll just write up posts about Rucks learning his powers after I come up with ideas.

A week after that I'm somewhere else, thst should DEFINATLEY have internet since it's a hotel. Even Travelodge internet can be used 24/7 if you know a disposable email domain so it shouldn't be an issue. If I'm not on that's why. I'll have the weekend between these two weeks however and if I'm not stingy I may pay my carrier for some 3G.

She's the god of Order. That's practically code for "no fun allowed".

So technically if we killed her first we could just say "fuck it" and be dope homies. Or whatever it is the kids call themselves nowadays.
