God RP Still Looking For Players

roleplayerguild.com/topics/170307-oh-…

I'm looking for more players for this RP: I'm going to keep this simple since most of the information is in the link.

In Brief:

We start after the first Highest Court is called; this is where all the new gods and lessers gods will try to appeal for their domain-that's right, you got to earn your domain. Think greek god pantheon- you buy your powers, set your stats, and try to shuffle you way into the position your character would like by either playing the courts, schemes, or out right violence if you can get away with it.

All while this is happening events are unfolding on the mortal world that the gods are expected to take care of, which, if how you do so or even you even DO bother with any mortal events then it can dramatically effect what will happen down the line. Politics, using mortals as pawns, hidden agendas, personal grudges and jealouslys all under the impending possibility of doom and danger? Potential for it all.

I would REALLY like it if we could get at least 8 gods-in total with the ones already in- so if you are interested or feel the system is too complex or whatever; let me know and I'll try to help you ease in.

OOC Expecations and Rules

All RP'ers will expected to interact with each other outside of RP. Mingle and so on.

Posting will be expected every 3 days, max unless some sort of real life circumstance gets in the way.

2 paragraphs standard a post. This is not an absolute, and I leave it to RP'ers judgement when less is more. But this will be the standard.

All RP'ers will be expected to formulate relations of some sort with other gods from the get go during the creation phase.

All players should have something going on with someone all times. I will create events but it will important for the group to keep everyone in.

There will be only 1 Essential open for every 4 pantheon or lower.

Oh My Gods!

@The Grey Dust@Lord Zee@rush99999

Sill here; just added some npc essential gods. I will be adding more soon.

I might put up a new interest thread to see if we can get any more player gods while we're at it.

Oh My Gods!

Essential NPCS

Name "Uhm...honestly, I'm not rather sure. Do I have a name?" known by mortals as River

Essential

DOMAIN Uncertanity

TASK/CURSE/BURDEN: River cannot be certain of anything. He is trapped in a giant labyrinth of mirrors, forever wandering until his aids help him leave.

Appearence



Forever Flickering: mild aspects of his appearence change each time he blinks in and out of reality in a drifting phase of soft lighting. Anatomically he tends to appear as an man but due to most of his body being made up of a strange, expanding and contracting mess of smoke he occasionally slowly forms female shapes. He grows from 4 foot 2 inch to 7 foot 5 inch generally-although radical change above these have raringly occured- The only aspect that is solid is his face which will revert to a big bundle of clouds mimicking a mustache, an empty, but lumpy sputtering of hair over an spherical head and two glinting holes for eyes that constantly change color on average.

Personality

"Live for the moment....maybe"

River lives in the moment: he is mindlessly trusting of his league of created wards whom follow him everywhere, acting as his advisers and memory. He is easily fooled and guilable, but, predictably unpredictable and extremely sensitive to the now. Lacking an ability to hold grudges nor remember favors, instead, he opts to strike with blind, overwhelming fury or generous, warm gratitude immediately. He feels a deep empathy for mortals and gods alike, this can lead him to biasly back up people in the wrong that he sympathises with or jump in to deliver swift, uncaring, immediate justice.

Is surprisingly cunning, when given the chance to make his own choices away from his lurking wards.

Powers List

Shuffle {4} Shuffles an random power and stat between all gods present within visual range of River; even if he can't actually see them. Shuffle itself mimics another gods power at random, all stats are swapped. His power stat applies to any inherited power.

Influence 6

Power 7

Mortal Affairs -2

RELATIONS

Zhystkrexas, the Corrupter Has an amicable relationship from his side with the Corruptor. Impulse and desire are one of the few things he can enjoy. His guilable nature means he trust him more than he should but generally respects his ability to govern the gods when he can't. Which is almost all the time.

To everyone surprise, while trusting he spots trickery fairly quickly.

----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------

Name Huladni: The Guardian

Essential

DOMAINEXISTENCE

TASK/CURSE/BURDEN: Huladni is the protector of existence and govern what is. He guards the stars at night from the Outsiders along with things that shouldn't exist that would undoubtedly wreak havoc if they entered reality.

Appearence



A mortal depiction of Huladni.

Muscular and simple. Huladni is is a strapping 6.6 tall mortal man with a sharp and ruggid cut to his figure, making his square and bold to his body shape. Muscular but well fed, making his belly small but potted a little under the rack of abs that he constantly displays. A tension forever hangs over his body, making him straight and narrow, but tight with a perptual stern look of an sergeant staring down an nervous private. He wears no armor nor clothing besides a simple loin clothe. A flowing flock of hair made of stars hangs over his face and his eyes glint with radiant sunshine.

Only fights with his bare hands or simple, primitive tools, such as rocks, boulders, animal bones, or fire.

Personality

Knowing: it's half the battle. The Guardian works with reality, striving to keep things in place rather than shift them about or rework them in some way. He lacks imagination in any form, being nearly dullheaded when it comes to conjuring up new concepts or ideas but makes up for it by being astute at working with what he presently has. He lacks ambition or need, unless the time calls for it. He accepts people and things for what they are, because of this he dosen't carry a lot of hope for people nor gods to change and will normally cement his judgement on someone firmly once it has been cast, but he may change if given a substantial amount of obvious proof to the contrary.

Powers List

Godly Strength Holds an divine strength that can shift mountains with effort.

Atheleticism Has an unnatural endurance and stamina. Can run forever and at a fast speed

Knowledge: Combat Tactics Has knowledge of combat tactics of the best of mortals to ever be. Naturally and instinctive knows how to utilize his skills in combat.

Kowledge: Brawling A rough and tumble version of the traditional marital art, while not as pretty, nor as effecient as Kung Fu brawling has its own charm. A mindless, simple charm, but one that still requires mastering none the less.

Stats

Mortal Affairs: 2

Influence: 6

Power: 3

RELATIONS

Zhystkrexas, the Corrupter A deep and unending frustation at Zhystkrexas's games. He hates deception, prefering things to be out in the open. He takes every chance he can to take over the reigns in Highest Court but has accepted most of the time he has to trust the Corrupter to regulate due to the inmobility of his own duties.

Lorin

Feels nothing for Lorin, he is a rock. Supposedly there is soemthing of a mind inside it...but he's never seen it.

River

Pities and despises River, he never knows where River stands but he is aware that is not his fault. Secrectly loathes his witless nature as it means he has little allies to help reign Zhystkrexas in.

----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------

Name Lorin: the stone.

Essential

DOMAIN Certanity

TASK/CURSE/BURDEN: Is a giant cubic rock containing a being at the centre: it cannot move, degrade, be freed, create new opinions, speak, act or think new thoughts. Was tasked with creating certanity and stability. The nano-second he was born he generated every thought he had and will ever have, all marked on the rock that is his body. Lives in a state of being alive without living. Cannot die but cannot do anything.

Appearence



Lorin is a 100 metre by 100 metre cube in all directions, it's stone is not made of any natural or even divine material that can be described. No form of markings can be placed onto the cube, including accidental or enviroment changes such as dust from the air or water from rain. Statically it remains in a totally neutral state, even gods will complain that touching the cube dosen't cause any sensation. Lorin is totally indestructable by all known forms of attacks, including attacks by other deities. While not visible at first, the cube actually has writing across it in all directions and overlaping in grid functions to reuse its own words for new sentences. These writings are all opinions and on ALL possible scenarios.

This writing is translated by a single living being who examines the cube that looks exactly like a man. He has never stopped reading, except when asked to give Lorin's opinion on something, including things to not yet occur.

Personality

Static: Lorin has a concrete, no-nonesense attitude at all times. Strict and demands uniformity, straight-forward thinking and the expectation that once you have an idea that you should immediately follow through with it. Dosen't understand the concept of second guessing, caution or revisiting a concept and has a swift, harsh, cruel, and unyeiliding judgement on anyone that tries to do so: Death. If the offender cannot die then imprisonment for eternity. He never forgives, never goes back on a choice and is totally, unquestionably impossible to manipulate.

Powers List

True Neutral{4} Cannot be touched, interacted with, effected by powers nor can it do so anyone else.

RELATIONS

Zhystkrexas, the Corrupter

Huladni: The Guardian

Dutiful serf. You always know where he stands.

River

Pitiable Tool. Useless outside of his function.

---------------------
Some essentials NPCs to start off. May include more. Panthon and lessers coming.

-------------------------

Hider

Name Cerpen

Appearence



Cerpen wears an suit of mortal design that once fit him tightly and complimented his atheletic figure, but now the front has been stretched into a malformed blob from rapid expansion and its limbs loosely hang over his now flabby tubes. Dirt, vomit, tear stains, scracthes, tears, loose threads and even urination mark his suit from years of being worn without care at a constant rate. His face is eternally pulled to the floor into a depressed donward cast, giving anyone the impression that it will just slide off eventually.

Personality

In the begining Cerpen was a cruious sort with an staggering need to empathize and understand the people around him. He delighted in figuring out other peoples issues and coming up with conclusions that bring two incompatible forces together. He never passed up the chance to wear other peoples shoes and had taken all roles or life styles at least once in his time. When he had a wager the Corrupter for the head seat in the pantheon court upon its opening he took it.

The wager was that he couldn't live on a mortal world for a year. When he returned Cerpen was a different man. Fat, drunk, derpessed, eternally dismissive and forlorne. When not crying or drunk, he is nhilistic and easily annoyed, he hates interruptions and is quick to give others trouble for them, even if the interruption is important.

----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

Name Gudaboa: The Seeker

Appearence



A dogs head placed firmly ontop of an middle aged mans body. Gudaboa has a pair of human eyes that sit awkwardly in his skull, appearing too big and even bulging out of his mismatched face a bit. The inside of his ears are also human while the outside are a long, flappy curtain of a dogs. His fur changes depending on the seasons: The sunnier it is the darker he gets until he black, the darker it is the brighter he gets until he is gold. He normally seen wearing a very high end, rustic noble suit although sometimes he will wear fancy greek clothes or even royal attire.

Personality

Reliable and honest. The seeker is only interested in whatever agenda he has set out in his head, while good intentioned he trusts his own judgements too much. It can take a lot to make him see that his long term plans are not always what best for everyone, or sometimes, totally contradicting the reality. He is not overtly idealistic but he is narrow minded. He is humanitarian at heart and likes the standard good stuff of: equality, justice, and education.

Powers List

Knowledge: Mathmatics Essentially a Calculator.

Knowledge: Chemistry Don't eat yellow snow. Is a master of chemistry comparatively to to a post 21st century genius.

Knowledge: Biology The Seekers understanding of the science of life is the stuff of sci fi novels.

RELATIONS

Zhystkrexas, the Corrupter
He think he is smarter than he is, and we are dumber than we are. There is a distinct gap of respect for our relationship to work. But I respect him as a collegue if nothing else

Huladni: The Guardian

If only ALL the Essentials were as civic minded as Huladni

River

A sad Existence. Sometimes I bring him books, I know he can't read them but I think he just enjoys the thought.

Lorin: The Stone

Mortal have this idea that we can save them, that, we hold some sort of cosmic card to push back the worst fears. But...Lorin...his existence....he is living that worst fear. We can do nothing...I don't like to think about it...

Oh My Gods!

@Duoya

Hey, man. If you can't find the energy to post or something, I can post next(tonight or in the morning) you can post after that.

Oh My Gods!

@rush99999

What are you, my patreon backers?

Nah, I'm just steaming your stew, brother.

I was thinking on that. I'm going to generate some perks soon. I don't want to do it in all one go and end up making it convulted in a rush or make them unthougtful. I'm going to make the NPC gods next.

Then post. Before you guys get any of your mortal agents/get to use miracles your perks will be assigned.

Oh My Gods!

Really digging these posts, my siblins of scribery.

@The Grey Dust I like you using the breeze from the flavor to introduce your god, my, motherfucking, kindred. That was more cinematic than a Lord of the Rings sequel.

@Lord Zee I'm digging these to and froms between you and the Essential, comrade. You're two conversations in and you're producing plot, nice smooth sailing.

POWER SCALE UPDATE

---------------------------------------

Power Scale

=>0: You are performing your power at mortal capacity: equal to a gifted person. If your magical ability has no magical equilivant that a mortal could reasonably perform then you gain a skill trait equal to it: EG: heal power to being naturally gifted at doctoring.

------------------------------------------

1: Throwing fire balls without thinking. Conjuring simple, goo like lifeforms no complexity(or thoughts), slow and timid wild growth. Mild but noticable humanoid thought suggestion/mood suggestion of either nature. If you wanted to do a skill equal to a higher point level, your character must take a WEEK for each point they lack to perform it.

This dosen't apply to passive traits: such as types of sight, turning invisible, knowledge, strength, clairvoyance, ectr. You must have at least 1 point to work create a higher level spell. 0 dosen't count.

-----------------------------------------

2: Your mastery of your magical ability is now affirmed: you can with a thought make animal shapes out of fire to the size of truck, grow small plants/vines just by touching a location, and easily scramble someone thoughts just by willing it.

-----------------------------------

3: By costing a post for opening you can commit level 3 abilities: At this point you can summon small, localized fire tornados, make vines consume a tower block just by focusing on it, or DESTROY a mortal mind: rendering them dribbling insane shells. Complex creation of a humanoid creatures or sentient elemental can be done in a day. In months you could -if you have the appropriate ability-
create small communinities of human-like intelligence beings.

================================================================

4: Killing single mortals with a thought is easy. Combusting a man by looking at him? making fungus slowly grow in his lungs by willing it? Giving someone a moderate mental illness? all with just the will? Yes. Making monsters relating to your power is easy, sometimes you do it accidentally.

If you already could make creatures: you may, without even meaning to, make sentient, humanoid complex creatures with certain personality traits already engrained. Desinging monsters up to 20 feet high now is an days job. True complexity escapes you still, but you could easily copy another creatures features and add it to your current project. It may take a couple of days: cases may vary.

Powerful, but subtetly escapes you. Your power reactively just goes for the worst damage it can inflict, or most beneficial if you don't take time to delicately focus it.

--------------------------------------------

5: In battle; by using a post as a charge and leaving yourself open, you could produce an effect multiple times in a small radius of 50 feet around you. Be it making every combusts, to summoning a feild of painful thorns, to making simple, hostile blobs appear.

At this level your power dosen't grow as much as your ability to fine tune it: Making NEW mental illnesses ? do-able. Slowly crafting a flaming castle or a volcanic being? Can do. Crafting a new spell painstaikingly? ok.

Creating life forms, plants or things that already require a creative ability from the start pretty much gives you full reign over this ability. You can now intergrate anything that already exists, or, simply make new, alien traits to your creations. Your time to produce beings is dramatically reduce: you can make giants (40 feet tall) beeings noww.

-------------------------------------------------

6: You gain a second miracle point: allowing you to do miracles twice in one decade.

Your power has effectively stretched out and you get a second lot perks based on the power this scale applies to. Your moral agents will start gaining strange strengths and buffs by simply working for you. You may ASCEND a mortal agent: transforming them into a LESSER god. But only relating to this power in some form.

Warning: Ascending a mortal can have unpredictable resuilts.

-------------------------------------------

7: Your sheer power has generated a private realm the size of a small moon. You are a god: true to the name. While things cannot leave your godly realm; you can make things here....even if you normally couldn't do so with your power. Generating armies within hours is easy. Radically changing the landscape done in an afternoon.

At this point you can send Mortals on a spiritual quest that will open a portal to your realm. This quest is dangerous, deadly, and most will not make it. Even under your control; your realm is no place for mortals and they will actively work against a realm that instictively rejects mortals: due to their flawed imperfection.

IF they survive and make it back: your agent will recieve buffs, perks, become an avatar. All avatars gain your MORTAL AFFAIRS stat as a bonus onto themselves and can now summon your creations...even you...with enough time, resources-and of course success- from your realm into the mortal plain.

Oh My Gods!

@Duoya

You post, I'll work on my post after you. It seems everyone is mingling rather well.

Oh My Gods!

@The Grey Dust

You guys are free. It's probably better you guys have the reigns that having secondary characters clutter it up.

NPC gods exist, but I'll add them after the meeting. Right now, your essential can be the guy in charge of the court until a pantheon head is elected.

Sorry, guys. I'm sort of more down than an escort asnwering a job call from Hades, hence my slowness to talk.

Oh My Gods!

@Lord Zee

Pretty, motherfucking, marble, my noble denoter of keyboarding boaters.

Please, Vent to me

@Otaku95

Shit, you try to bamboozle me, like a motherfucking, up close picture of an armpit but you didn't even use the [@mention] feature and the female fox forester still showed up.
