_______The Domain of Dreams_______

The Domain of Dreams concerns itself with the intuitive, creative aspect of the mind, allowing consciousness to observe and express itself free from the lens of logic, reality, and understanding. It is immaterial, it is a lens of pure experience beyond which dwells an infinite sea of unformed, undirected thought. Beckoning the mind from slumber or idle inactivity or boredom, Dreams exist in the between space where conscious cognition and unconscious observation meet. It is in this place which the Dreaming God dwells and it is from this place that intuition and imagination are born. As the very root of their existence, the Domain of Dreams serves as the staging ground for the divine machinations of this god beyond understanding. It is with the threefold god's dominion over Dreams that ideas are writ like subtle, elusive floaters into the minds of Galbar's lesser creations, for if it dreams, so too can its mind be seeded with the Dreamer's cosmic intent.

Through the power inherent in Dreams, Àicheil may traverse the collective unconscious of Galbar's many inhabitants, enabling them subtle, if significant, influence on the minds of all its denizens. Drawing from this power, the Dreaming god may sow, guide, and prune the ever-expanding stream of consciousness. Though this may not enable Àicheil to outright control the minds of other entities, it gives them both an intimate window into the minds of others and a means through which to interact and manipulate those who earn the enigmatic god's attention. Further, Àicheil may use their domain to bestow or inflict dreams, nightmares, or visions, allowing the Dreaming God to impart understanding without the context necessary to truly grasp the knowledge held therein. With great focus and meticulous care, Ѻs-fhìreach may even warp the mind or craft intricate tapestries of knowledge and experience. Yet, alone, Neo-Àicheil's domain is woefully incomplete, brought to completion only by the presence of their divine twin...Fìrinn.

The Portfolio of Abstraction

The crystallized rumination borne from the endless creative iteration of the great progenitor, Abstraction is the separation of concrete definition from a thing. As a cosmic influence, Abstraction is the process of rendering a thing in the abstract, divorcing a cohesive whole into its constituent parts to the point that it loses solidity and is rendered as--perhaps disparate--ideas. Serving a vital role in birthing the Threefold God, Abstraction enables the Dreamer to interact with the cohesion of a physical structure or thought in order to draw forth insight, create purpose, or divine meaning.

In the cognitive sense, Abstraction might be used to divide an idea into its components, allowing a being to see it more clearly and bridge the gap from ignorance to understanding. In the material sense, this portfolio might be used to alter the world, by reducing a physical phenomenon or structure until it is rendered as an immaterial idea. A house becomes a collection of rooms, the rooms become frameworks of wood enclosing space, the wood becomes living material, the space merely an idea leaving only a vague sense of vitality behind.

However, there is a great limitation in using this power, for it is solely reductive and cannot be used directly to create anything, only reduce it into its component parts or render it as an immaterial concept.

Persona

As a being of boundless understanding, but limited context, the Dreaming God is endlessly curious, intrigued by the minds of all entities, and baffled by the emotions and perspectives of those outside itself. Much like his twin, Àicheil is essentially amoral, as within its mind there exists little in the way of traditional reason to withhold malice. Yet, there are some things which Ѻs-fhìreach values, chiefly among them being open-mindedness and creativity, for it is these traits that give other beings a greater capacity to receive his divine truth. Beyond this, Neo-àicheil is a generous God, willing to give of himself in the pursuit of both external, and personal, enrichment. Still, though much about the Dreaming God is positive, their dwells something truly unknowable beneath the sheen of gracious generosity. For his mind is an endless ocean whose depths are obscured by roiling waves, which crest and churn upon its surface. Beneath its waters, hidden from prying eyes, there dwells a calculating consciousness of intractable intent, its eldritch curiosity unmoored from the far shores of compassion, sanity, and substance.

The Ròineagan

The Worldweave

A tapestry woven from the fabric of a remembrance, Ròineagan is the intimately preserved design of the progenitor's boundless mind. It is perhaps Aicheil's most cherished thing, evoking a deep sense of belonging and completeness that few other things could possibly match. Yet, the truth of it is hidden beneath a twisting cosmic veil of consciousness, its purity marred, yet enriched, by the numerous minds that touch the Dreaming God's realm through the subtle threads woven into all sentient beings. To the observer, the Worldweave is sometimes a shifting kaleidoscope of colors, feelings, and sensations whereas others may find their deepest desires, fantasies, and nightmares reflected in the depths of the Sea of Dreams. This realm, from which imagination and intuition were born, spreads itself far and wide, weaving around Galbar and past the numerous realms of the other Gods, waiting to be touched. Further still does its current pull it, splitting it further into thinner and thinner threads until the influence of the Dreaming God is gone, and only the dream remains so that it may reunite with the minds from which the veil draws inspiration.

Though the Worldweave is not natively harmful to any who might desire to tread its currents, the reflection of one's own inner demons can render it a frightening--or dangerous--place indeed. Further, should you be drawn into the Worldweave and forced to behold what is behind the veil, without protection, the mind is sure to shudder and crack for no mortal was ever meant to behold a design of such complexity.

_{The Dreaming God}

A form of pure expression, Dreams allow Aicheil to become a thing reflecting the ideas and personalities of those who behold him allowing him to blend in or stand out as is needed without a conscious grasp of how to do so. As such, this form is used almost solely when interacting with mortals or seeking to appease--or learn about--other gods by appealing to their expectations of him. Thus this form serves a dual purpose as disguise and information gatherer both, for though it frees the Dreaming God from the necessity of tailoring his form to suit others, it does not divorce him from the awareness of that form's shape.

_{Faireachan A-staigh}

Serving as the avatar of Aicheil's enigmatic will, the Watcher Within is vaguely humanoid and often takes the form of a prismatic aura and a hazy silhouette of an androgynous figure. Upon closer inspection, Faireachan A-staigh is composed of an uncountable number of minuscule threads, each of which is a chain of intertwined droplets of refractive dew. As a result of its body's composition, Faereachan is not structurally sound and though it is exceptionally difficult to destroy, it can easily be dispersed by even the violent swipe from a mortal arm. This ephemeral form lends it a mysterious air, but also serves a distinct purpose, allowing it to express its master's divine form and intent by changing shape or creating elaborate depictions with its aura. Further, despite its seeming frailty, Aicheil's avatar is perfectly capable of interacting with the world--or simply reconstituting itself if dispersed. Its figure, though difficult to discern, is generally seven(7) feet in height, though its aura expands well beyond the silhouette of its unreadable visage, tapering off into nothing as it reaches fifteen(15) feet.

As a corporeal manifestation of the Dream, Faireachan A-staigh is able to traverse the collective unconscious, allowing it to freely move from one point to another so long as life exists nearby. Further, due to how natively light the Watcher's form is, they find it incredibly easy to fly.

Calling a Deity of Dreams if no one's doing that yet.

Anyone Looking for a Modern Fantasy RP?

Wonderful! Worldbuilding is well on its way/in progress. I will keep everyone posted ^_^

Anyone Looking for a Modern Fantasy RP?

Welcome! We've got a good framework figured out. Working on fleshing things out little by little.

Anyone Looking for a Modern Fantasy RP?

Server link will be re-added in the near future.

Anyone Looking for a Modern Fantasy RP?

Noice, got one or two others interested already plus a friend who might join after we've got a baseline foundation to start the RP on :)

If you want I can make a server on discord and we can all have a chat, discuss some stuff ^_^

Anyone Looking for a Modern Fantasy RP?

I've been thinking about this for some time and--though I have some other ambitious projects in the works--I really have the urge to make something Modern Fantasy and run it with some cool kids. I'm looking for people who like scheming and making intertwined plots, background lore to help flesh a world out and who can think on their feet. The type who enjoys making side plots as much as they enjoy a good world and a good main plot. More looking for a sandboxy vibe, but I'd be quite willing to tailor a long-game main plot based on what sorts of characters we get. Likely things would take place in one city or a group of closely connected cities (magically connected or otherwise) and maybe the odd extraplanar interaction here and there to add some good SPICE.

If there's enough interest I'll start working on something and keep you guys posted. I would be open to collaboration on that front as well, to be honest.

Divinus: The God RP, Mk. III. Finished in Record Time™!

So, I've been looking at this thread (stalking/lurking) for quite awhile, even subbed to it for when I had more time and energy to dedicate to something like this and I think that time has come.

I haven't really gone about trying to brainstorm a character just yet. I would love some guidance and to have a chat with the players/GMs because what you guys have here is truly something special. Also, it seems like ya'll have a discord so if I could get an invite that'd be awesome!
