    Default [M] A Game of Demigods: Resurgent (OOC)

    RATED R FOR DRUGS, ALCOHOL, BLOOD AND GORE, SEXUAL THEMES, AND OTHER ADULT THEMES


    In the beginning, the various planets in the universe were connected by an elaborate series of portals and pathways, and the myriad of races that inhabited these planets commingled. They traded goods, shared stories, and traveled about the portals visiting new lands. As kingdoms were built, the races influenced on another, and their cultures began to develop together. Not all the races embraced change, and many had different opinions and ideas on how their culture should progress. As tensions rose and the peace broke down, several of the races began to fight over the laws of the universe. They began stealing from one other, cheat each other, and even kill each other. Some of the more rage inclined races began to declare war on each other, intent on forcing their ways and opinions on one another. Peach had shattered.

    In these times of war, the peoples looked to the heavens, hells, or the very planets for inspiration, blessings upon themselves, and curses upon those that had wronged them in so many ways. They prayed for guidance, and they got it. The very gods themselves descended from the heavens, rose from the underworld, or emerged from the very land and animals. They chose their favorites and guided their children. In a great clash of primordial energy and the power of the planes, the gods turned on those of other pantheons, and waged war with legions of their chosen behind them. It was a long and bloody feud, and it claimed countless lives. Entire pantheons and their chosen were wiped from existence, made extinct, or run into exile. But for all they had achieved, none of them could stop what was to come.

    The very gods themselves served as a poison for the universe, and their sheer amounts of divine and infernal energies threatened to unravel creation itself. As the very universe itself began to tear itself apart, it claimed the lives of many gods and their people, and it quickly became apparent that by leading their people, they also doomed them to nothingness. Before it was too late, the gods retreated from the realm one by one, and the many portals across the universe were closed or destroyed. The people had lost their connection, and their gods had left them. For the most part, anyways. They walked among them from time to time in disguise. At first there was relative chaos as the races scrambled to preserve what they had been taught, but the cultures adapted and grew. Soon many of the people had even forgotten that the gods had existed. Magic and religion were replaced by technology and industry. All knowledge of the gods become myth, stories told but not believed. It seemed the gods would forever be forgotten. Or so they thought.

    Thousands of years after the closing, when all the gods had almost been forgotten, the realm was once more reminded of them. Two Human demigods waged war upon each other. Bihjan, God of Heroics, and Zafar, God of Victories, descended from the very heavens and clashed upon the Human world. Entire cities were leveled, millions of people were slaughtered, and their bitter feud threatened to destroy the very world. Zafar wanted victory, at any cost. Bihjan had heard stories of the portals that connected the worlds, and to save his people he did the only thing he could. He opened a portal and lured his brother through it. Wishing to spare the lives of even the other races, he continued, until finally he escaped his brother. Despite all their rampages, one thing was discovered. The mortal parentage of the demigods kept their energies form tearing the universe apart. The gods scrambled for the opportunity, and many of their demigods were awakened and given divine boons to lead their people into a new future.

    There was fighting, and war, of course, as the peoples commingled once more and old hatreds were once again revealed. This didn’t stop the forward thinking and progressive from forging alliances and peace, however, and technology was shared. The reunion was celebrated, and many of the demigods were hailed as heroes of a new age. Despite this, the gods remembered all, and they were very fickle beings able to hold grudges until the end of time. Hundreds of years passed, and over those years many of the demigods were manipulated into harming, or even killing, one another and their people. Some relished in the opportunity, some reviled it, many resisted. It became a sort of game to the gods. A Game of Demigods.

    Note: Technology on most planets is just above Modern. Plasma and Laser weapons exist, and the races can travel through their own solar systems, but space travel beyond that is not yet perfected.

    Interesting. Why Aasimar? And on Earth? By standard fantasy race, I meant more like Elves or Dwarves. That isn't to say it isn't allowed, I'm just still thinking on that race.

    Well, my thinking was that Aasimar are pretty much the closest fantasy race you can get that are like demigods. Flowing white hair, a link to the gods, etc. And with the different races intermingling I would assume that a few meta-humans still live on Earth even after the portals closed, and closed again for the second time.

    If you want me to change the race, location, or both I am more than happy to.

    Well, the gates have remained open since the battle between Bihjan and Zafar. So any race can be born on any planet. Go ahead and change your race. You can keep location.

    Hahaha!
    I'm going to bring in Dez-kun. Is it okay if I basically have his spirit reincarnated inside another living human?
