The mountains will fall under siege...

@Rtron

Considering how much Pure energy is in those mountains, you better have a lot of Might saved up and/or some crazy powerful force before you even think about doing that. :)

Say, what ever happened to that one white giant that Toun left in the Valley of Peace?

@Muttonhawk

There's a what in the what now?

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

The Mother Goddess, Angel of Light, She Who Shines

"Now then, please explore the Valley of Peace," Niciel said to her Angels. "While you are within the safety of the Nice Mountains, you will not be attacked or otherwise harmed by other creatures." Niciel then warned the Angels, "However, do not leave the Nice Mountains without my permission. There are many terrible creatures outside that will not hesitate to destroy you."

And so, the Angels flew off to explore the land they were born in.

---

Some Angels were content to find a spot to rest, usually under the shade of a tree. These Angels chatted and conversed with each other, all of them getting to know each other.

---

Some Angels understood the importance of shelter and began to brainstorm on how to do so. They looked at the trees, both Holy and normal, as well as the land around them, and got to work using the available materials. First, the problem of how to get the wood from the trees. Even the Angels were smart enough to realize that they simply couldn't just punch the wood and have it fall in neat blocks. One Angel, however, discovered a solution. This yellow-haired Angel sensed her power within her, and imagined herself challenging that power into her hands. Soon, white light glowed from her right hand. The Angel imagined further, and the light materialized, creating a blade extending from her fingertips. One swipe against a tree, and the blade passed cleanly through the tree trunk, felling the tree. The others around her observed this and tried to imitate her, each Angel having varying degrees of success. Some took more than one swipe to cut a tree, some chose to cut branches instead, and some couldn't even get a blade to form, but none of them could replicate the action.

---

There were some Angels who were simply too curious about the outside world and wanted to see what it was like for themselves. One blue-haired Angel, the one who had spoken to Niciel first, had joined this group and advised them that it was not a wise idea to disobey the Mother Goddess' instructions, but the others reasoned that as long as they stayed within the vicinity of the Nice Mountains, they would be fine. Seeing the consensus, the one Angel sighed and silently followed them to make sure that they didn't fall into, or even cause, any trouble.

In no time at all, they reached the summit of one of the mountains. They gazed at the sights of the world, from the Deepwood Forest to the Fractal Sea, although they looked rather small from their spot in the mountain. Only growing more curious, the Angels went further and further down the Nice Mountains, growing closer to the edge. The one Angel warned them again of the consequences, but the others merely said that they weren't going to leave the Nice Mountains and continued. The group soon spotted a towering white figure in the distance. Too curious to ignore it, the Angels fly over to it, ignoring the one Angel's protests.

Unfortunately for the Angels, this White Giant was not so happy to see them. When the Giant spotted the nearing Angels, it roared and began to attack them. Caught by surprise, the Angels began to move back, away from the new threat and to the safety of the mountains. A few of the Angels was too slow, however, and the White Giants was soon upon them.

At first, the one Angel believed that it was over for them. There was nothing that could stop a creature like that from destroying the foolish Angels that had disobeyed mother Niciel. However, despite him knowing that, he felt... something. He felt that maybe, just maybe, that they still deserved a second chance. So what if they did something stupid? That was part of learning. He wanted to save them, and make sure that they didn't something so stupid again.

But how? He didn't have the strength to stop the beast. If he tried to shield them, he would die along with them. As he thought about it, however, he began to feel something within him. A power. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it. It was there and waiting to be used.

So he extended his hand, and imagined what he wanted to do. Blue light shined from his hand, and the White Giant crashed into a glowing blue barrier. However, the Giant was unperturbed and continued smashing itself against the barrier in an attempt to reach the Angels, who were now frozen in fear and wonder. The one Angel went over to the group and told them to go back to the Mountains, then forced the barrier forward as the White Giant was moving back to charge again, pushing it away. As the Giant got back up from the force, the Angels had recovered from their shock and retreated. With no more threats to answer to, the Giant resumed its peaceful demeanor and slowly wandered off.

---

Niciel watched everything the Angels did, from the chattering to the attempted shelters to the White Giant encounter. Once a certain period of time passed, however, Niciel addressed all of them, "My children, gather together, for I have something to tell all of you."

The Angels did as they were told, and once all the Angels were together, Niciel spoke, "All of you have done as you wished. Some chose to get to know the others, some chose to make shelters. Some of you... have made mistakes, but they are forgiven. Out of all of you, two have shown exceptional promise. You, and you." Niciel pointed out the two by creating small orbs of light above their heads. "You two, please rise."

The two Angels floated up into the air, one trembling with excitement and the other calmly waiting. Niciel addressed them both, "Speak your names, so I may know them."

The blue-haired male went first. He bowed and said, "My name is Loth, mother Niciel."

The blonde female followed suit, bowing and continuing, "My name is Falas, mother Niciel."

"Loth and Falas, you two are the Guardians of the Angels. Ensure their safety as best you can," Niciel said as the two orbs from earlier entered their bodies. The two glowed for a moment, but the glow soon faded.

Just as the deed was complete, Niciel's Orb of Escry began to spark and glow. Niciel peered into the Orb, and was rather surprised to see what was going on. Niciel stared off into the distance, in the direction of the Firewind Desert. "It seems there are matters I must attend to. All of you, please behave well." With a glow of light, Niciel's presence disappeared.

Summary

-The Angels do their thing, discovering their abilities as they explore.

-Niciel calls them back, and creates two Heroes from the Angels (-2 Might).

-Niciel's Orb of Escry alarms her of something, and Niciel teleports off to see the matter with her own eyes.

Might: 4
FP: 4

I feel like Ashlings already occupy a pretty White Walker-esquire space in the current compendium of species, although I'd be pretty proud of this roleplay if we managed to introduce yet another parasitoid sentient race without major thematic overlap. Parasites, man. Parasites.

Also totally up for building a Troy or two.

@Scarifar Oh fuck, whoops. I think I had some or other yarnball suffocate a hain while it was within the Nice border earlier. How strong is the effect on non-sentient critters? Does predation count as murder?

@Antarctic Termite

Now that I think about it, I don't think it even affects non-sentient creatures, at least not as badly as it does sentient creatures. After all, predation is natural as long as it doesn't needlessly inflict pain and suffering.

That may not actually be the case in real life nature, at least not all the time.

Hmmmm...

This makes me think. That means that anyone who is supposed to die and knows of the mountains will try to flee there. What exactly are the limitations in this area? Can someone be knocked unconscious or is violence in any form impossible here?

@Legion02

Violence is not forbidden. It is simply ill intentions and character that the Mountains highly discourage (and it results in severe headaches and nausea until such characteristics disappear). The only actions that are completely forbidden here are the murdering of sentient creatures, even accidental murder, and intended physical torturing of any form of life, which results in the offender falling into a coma until he or she is removed from the mountains (and any attempt to return will result in said coma). Even beings such as demons may enter the Nice Mountains as long as they follow these guidelines (although they may not necessarily feel comfortable).

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

Ehh the Nice Mountains was always intended to be a sanctuary for those who don't want wars. Of course, when life dies, Niciel will allow the souls to go to Reathos.

@Scarifar

Clarify its effect to me cause currently the way its effect is used makes no sense. ATTACKS gains DEF until the end of the damage step. Like what even. If its being the aggressor shouldn't it be gaining attack as well?

@1Charak2

When Unrelenting attacks a monster, that attack target's ATK and DEF become Unrelenting's current DEF, but at the cost of not being able to destroy the attack target by battle.

Example, Unrelenting attacks a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Blue-Eyes' ATK and DEF become 1600 for the duration of the battle, and the opponent would take 400 damage. However, Blue-Eyes is not destroyed.

This card cannot be destroyed by battle. When this card attacks an opponent's monster, that monster's ATK and DEF become this monster's DEF until the end of the Damage Step, but it cannot be destroyed by that battle. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.
ATK/DEF: 2000/1600

@Scarifar

So, anyone willing to offer second opinions on this?

He's going to give her so much shit if she starts acting hypocritically about his kid and the birth

@Rtron

Anyway, where is your collab located? Could you pm me a link?

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

If Niciel would just meddle with things during Lif's birth, bring her in!

@Rtron

Now that I actually think about it, tho, I'm not even sure how Niciel would react. Childbirth can be seen as a joyous event, but considering Vestec's involved with it...

It's a complicated situation.
