Current My roleplay is all tabletop these days, and the part of the guild I used to hang out in doesn't exist anymore. To my friends from this site, I will think of you, and maybe I'll see you again someday.

To my friends from chat: I guess I'll see you around, since I'm still not using discord.

I don't actively RP on the site these days, but I might be convinced to come back if there's a cool fantasy or sci-fi group RP that can capture my interest. Catch me on Second Life, Wildstar, or Chat.

My life has gotten really chaotic. I'll be back to RPing when I can.

I need a good generic fantasy RP, but I can't find one.

<Snipped quote by Asuu>

Quite bluntly talks about choosing a sex leading to sexism...

Fools rush in.


The more important reasoning for picking an androgynous form is that it doesn't lock us into a single gender and allows us to make that choice later. I never said sexism wasn't mentioned, it's just simply not the reason for the form.

Hmmm a veil of changing color, sort of like a chameleonic veil thing? Yeah, I can do that.


Possibly it's some manner of extremely pearlescent cloth or something.

Excuse me, but why would choosing a sex be considered "sexism"? I think people will think we are undeciding, having no gender and the veil that changes color. I think we should have a clear definition of who we are and what we want. People like charismatic and decisive leaders.


Did you actually read through what's been discussed? Because it sounds like you're jumping to some pretty big conclusions. The androgynous form has nothing to do with sexism, it has to do with the fact that most of us have agreed that we need to learn more information about our situation before we can make a good, informed decision on what the best course of action would be.

Fools rush in.
Instead of a mask, we could use a semi-transparent veil. Between that and androgynous features, it would be very hard for people to see what we look like without the sense of duplicity or having something to hide that is fairly frequently associated with a mask. Also, masks are a thing that are frequently closely tied to the culture of the time (i.e. Italian theatre masks) and so creating a mask without being familiar with the current styles could result in sending unintentional messages. A face-concealing veil might also have some symbolism behind it, but veils are a far less common thing than masks, and as they tend to lack the same theatric flourishes it may better help the "indistinct appearance" thing. Also, a veil would work well with somewhat diaphanous clothing, all of which would end up with an extremely ethereal and otherworldly appearance. I dig the golden eyes and lean muscle, too. Deep gold, as you say, somewhere between the color of honey and amber.
Tall is good since it commands respect, but not so tall that it's some shocking, defining feature. I'd suggest white, shoulder-length hair, since that's a length that remains androgynous and a colour that could be good or evil depending on the context. I'm not sure what to suggest as far as our apparent weight—being average without being noticably pudgy maintains the neutral form we're talking, but thin could come across as somewhat ethereal when combined with the height and may make us seem more like a God to some.
Well again, I'm leaning for an androgynous form until we have more information.
What's the point in even presenting ourself as a god of a thing then?
By domains, I mean the things that we as a god choose to be associated with.
So... Our powers are unrelated to our domains then, or what?
I don't really agree with that, not at this point at least. That's the kind of thing that would be associated with a God of mutation or insanity or secrets, and everyone has multiple internal voices anyway.
...I'll grudgingly concede that point.

In that case I say we take an androgynous form for now, to leave our options open.
