The Throne of Gods: Fallen Stars

Check out our epic story! - IC Link (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=53343)


The King of Gods has been slain, causing chaos and strife throughout the heavens. All of the Gods have been forced out of the heavens, their home. They fell as falling stars upon the planet Earth. Their powers have been greatly diminished as they now wander the mortal realm. Not only have their powers been taken, but their immortality as well... The Gods themselves are now vulnerable to the weaknesses of the mundane human...

What is your goal in this new life?

Are you one of the benevolent gods trying to restore order? Are you investigating the death of the King of Gods and plan to bring the perpetrator to justice?

Or are you one of those malevolent gods? Do you intend to take the empty throne as your own and cut down those that stand in your way?

Or perhaps... You actually enjoy your new mortal life? Perhaps you decided that this realm is now your true home... And perhaps you actually fall in love with a mortal? Perhaps you no longer seek a way to return to the heavens, but simply wish to live a normal life from now on...

Whatever is your choice... the wheels of the multiverse have been set... and destiny awaits you

This RP will take place on modern Earth. Our gods will fall randomly all over America and Europe. Be careful to reveal yourselves, the government/military will be investigating the mysterious fallen stars. During the course of the RP, there will be chances to travel across other planes of existence and do battle with mythical creatures.

There is a hierarchy system among the gods. At the top, is the King of Gods, Suriyel. Right below him, are the Five Monarchs. The rest of the gods follow one of the Five Monarchs.

He is known as the right-hand of Suriyel, and one of the strongest of the Monarchs. He and his faction reside in the heavenly plane, Elysium. Their holy capital is the divine White City. They are the overseers of the planes, ensuring law and justice prevail. They have strict moral codes while valuing truth and compassion. Once in a while, they understand that freedom may need to be sacrificed for the greater good. The Faction of Order is naturally at war with the Faction of Chaos. Luthious himself has the powers of radiant light.

The most intelligent being of all creation. Harku and his faction reside in the futuristic plane, Mechanus. Their capital is the majestic Metropolis. The gods of Wisdom are known as creators, tinkers, and truth-seekers. The value personal freedom, life, and the adherence of the law. They are natural allies with the Faction of Order. Harku himself has control over futuristic technology (shoot laser beams, summon robots).

One of the most beautiful ladies of creation. Selrina and her faction reside in the nature plane, Avesta. Their capital is the paradise garden, Eden. Selrina's faction focus on maintaining balance between good and evil, life and death, order and chaos. They understand that without one, there can be no other. So they make sure that one will never overpower the other. Because of their very philosophy, they gain no favors from the Factions of Order and Chaos. Selrina herself is a shapeshifter and has complete control over Nature.

http://p1.pichost.me/640/16/1389358.jpg

One of the most corrupted beings of creation. Malphas and her faction reside in the fiery realm, Hades. Their capital is the infernal palace, Tartarus. The Faction of Pain seek their own ends. They view law and chaos unnecessary, and are primarily concerned with their own selfish ambitions. One common goal amongst these gods, is to seek power. They often are allies with the Order of Chaos. Malphas herself has the power to create mind-bending illusions.

Sometimes known as the left-hand of Suriyel. He, along with Luthious, are the strongest two Monarchs. Baldramort and his faction live in the demonic plane, Carcari. Their capitol is the hellish Black City. The Faction of Chaos is the bane of all that is good and organized. The gods are cruel violent killers that often do not see themselves in error. They promote chaos and destruction only to glorify themselves. They are naturally at war with the Faction of Order. Baldramort himself is the creator of darkness.

During the battle at his underground temple, beneath the Vatican City, Baldramort was challenged by a group of gods. He easily defeated them, and intended to sacrifice their life force to open the portal to his home realm, Carcari. However, in an unexpected twist, his long-lost son Damian made an appearance and ruined his ritual. Instead, his own lifeforce was sapped, leaving Baldramort defenseless against the group of fallen deities. After losing the battle, Baldramort decided to commit suicide, and would rather die by his own hands then allow a lesser being to take his life.

There will be plenty of action in this RP. The Co-GMs and I will set NPC's upon you to battle. Do whatever you want with them as long as there is no godmodding. We will take control of the NPCs as we see fit or requested.

There will be times of player against player battles. The Co-GMs and I will be the judges of your battle, and will decide the victor based on creativity and how the fight proceeded. In between posts, there will be a GM post deciding what hits are landed and what-not. These same rules will apply during mini-boss and boss battles.

One of Baldramort's higher ranking officers. She often leads the armies of Chaos into war. Even though she served the Prince of Chaos loyally, she always dreamed of besting him in battle and taking his place as Monarch. And then... she would go after the King of Gods herself. Now, her new goal is to go after whoever slayed Suriyel. Her powers of destruction grows with each life she takes. She fell to the city of London, and quickly terrorized the capital by slaughtering many of the innocents. A few nearby gods battled her to save the humans, but were struggling against the powerful goddess. Before Abbadon had the chance to kill one of the gods, Selrina the Balance Monarch appeared and easily killed Abbadon with just a snap of her fingers.

One of the elder gods of Balance. He lived an isolated life from the rest of his kin, enjoying the comfort on his lonesome. However, whenever his homeland of Averas is invaded by any foul gods or beasts, Kraynor is immediately in the front lines of battle to defend his beloved plane. He commands the powers of lightning storms to decimate his foes. After his fall, his powers have been severely weakened to simple electrical manipulation. He had the misfortune of being captured quickly by Colonel Hawkin's forces and then executed swiftly.

http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/1469882-bigthumbnail.jpg
This impish god has gone through many names throughout the history of mankind. One of the more prominent ones back in the old days was Loki. He is a member of the Balance Faction and resides in the realm of Averas. He is always up to no good, as he's always planning pranks using his explosions to cause mayhem. He has never been caught as he often uses his invisibility to get away from the crime scene. He works for Diz for unknown reasons.

He partnered up with Vin in an attempt to kill Selrina. However, Xele questioned Diz's true motives, and paid the price. He, along with Diz's other minions, were sacrificed to create the Abomination.


http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/autumgirl1023/Anime/Dark%20Anime/guy.jpg
Diz is one of the most ancient beings of the multiverse. He was one of the first entities to appear shortly after the creation of the Five Monarchs and the Throne of Gods. He has no true home, and has lived a very isolated life. He wandered on his lonesome all over the many celestial planes. An aura of dark power surrounds him, and many gods rarely try to raise a conflict with him. The benevolent gods distrust him, and the malevolent gods envy him. He is a being full of mysteries... as his goals were unknown to all even before the fall of the gods.

It seems he is gathering followers to create a celestial revolution. The time of the Monarchs is over, and he plans to bring about a new age within the heavens.

Of the faction of Order, Morgana is innately capable of telling when someone is lying. Her lance glimmers with holy light, which burns like white hot fire and instantly cauterizes wounds. It can also summon a blast of blinding light with a simple incantation. Morgana is brash, cocky, and rarely sees the gravity of a given situation.

Morgana has a history (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=53124&page=66&p=1874084&viewfull=1#post1874084)of being Jaslyn's rival.

Lucielle resides in the heart of Mechanus and is a part of the Wisdom Faction. She is one of the Ten Councilors, they often meet to discuss the status of all the realms. They often act as peaceful ambassadors and are sent to the other realms in order to find peaceful... or the best... solutions. Lucielle was chosen to become a Council member based upon her blunt but cheerful personality, but mainly because she could see into the deepest desires of a person. She was often useful for discovering a representative's hidden agenda. After the Fall, she can only sense a person's desires based upon how much one wants it. She is well versatile with the bow and magic.

She joined Zypher's group in their quest to open the portal to Mechanus. Unfortunately, she met her end in a battle against the demigods, and was slain by Colonel Hawkins. She more or less sacrificed her own safety to save everyone else from the onslaught.

These two goddesses originated from the Black City of Carcari. Fridi, the bandaged-wrapped goddess, lost her sight long ago; and her purple-haired sister, Neveah, became deaf. However, the two hold a strong psychic connection between each other, speaking telepathically and useing the other’s senses to their advantage. Fridi can see using Neveah’s sights, and Neveah could hear based upon her sister’s perception. If one ever lost the other, that goddess would be severely crippled.

Fridi and Neveah were loyal followers of Baldramort and carried out his plans of chaos throughout the celestial realms. Fridi can produce deadly supersonic screams while Neveah could shape-shift. Together, the two vicious assassins are a formidable force.

Ever since the Fall, the Gemini have switched their loyalty from Baldramort to Diz. They support his ideal of a rebellion against the Monarchs, and will do everything in their power to see this ambition come true. They were both extremely loyal to Diz, but even their loyalty wasn't enough. They were both sacrificed to create an Abomination, a powerful beast with the capabilities of challenging even a Monarch.

Iravelle was a goddess of innocence, and had the incredible powers of healing others with her purity. However, she was shortly captured after the Fall by Colonel Hawkins and his minions. Her mind was warped, and soon became a servant and a spy for the demigods. She infiltrated Zypher's party, and betrayed them in a critical battle. However, she was shortly killed by one of the people she saved in her lucid state, by the Void lord himself.

A renowned god of the White City, also one of Luthious's chosen bodyguards. He filled in this role after the traitor god, Markus: The God of Heroism, attempted to assassinate their beloved Noble. The former god of Heroes didn't live for that long, and was tried and executed for his crimes. As an elder god, Kabuto is known for his combat prowess, and being a master swordsman. Very few can challenge him in close-quarters combat.

During a battle against the demigods, though, he met an early end. He was surprisingly defeated by another powerful demigod only known as Lt. Yamamoto, who is apparently a deadly swords-woman.



http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/002/8/a/dark_elf_male_by_ylafa-d5m0qoy.jpg

The long lost son of Baldramort, the Prince of Chaos... and Jaslyn, the Goddess of Indulgence. The circumstances surrounding his birth revolved around deceit and a prophecy... a revelation... that this child will bring doom to all of the multiverse. Out of fear, Jaslyn left behind her beloved infant in the middle of a forest, and he was thought to be eaten by the wolves inhabiting the area. Apparently, that is not the case, and Damian is very much alive and finally ready to enact his vengeance. Is he responsible for the death of Suriyel and the Fall of the Gods?

Regardless, Damian's powers are mostly unknown, but the abilities of a deity of the Apocalypse would know no bounds.






http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m508/bballman852/AnimeGuySteampunkMilitary.jpg
A Colonel of the United States Airforce. He rose through the officer ranks quickly and became a young prodigy. He has mysterious ambitions that involve setting a nuclear explosion upon Russia and destroying the elder gods there. How does he know about the existence of the gods in the first place, does he have a connection to their fall?

It turns out, Colonel Hawkins is the bastard son of the King himself, Suriyel. He is the strongest demigod, and has the powers of omniscience to see into another's past. He also has the deadly ability of absorbing a slain god's powers by drinking their blood. He continues growing powerful with each kill, and will soon be unmatched with his might.

In the final battle at New York City, Hawkins faced against multiple deities, but the ones that gave him most trouble were Spero and Zypher. Both of them awakened their inner powers, and with their combined might, they managed to slay the almighty demigod and his scheme to take his father's throne.


http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/219/1/2/sci_fi_soldier_by_jonathanp45-d5a7v54.jpg
Both of these squadrons were formed under Colonel Hawk's commands. They have gone through many years of training specifically to battle against gods. Each squad is lead by one leader, who is identified by his crimson red armor. All squadron leaders are personally handpicked by Colonel Hawkins to complete their objectives. Their suits increases the soldier's physical prowess: making them stronger and faster compared to most human beings. All of these soldiers are equipped with weaponry to exploit their opponent's weaknesses. In this case, they wear fortified plastic armor in their defense against Danero, the God of Iron. Their helmets are scientifically magnetized to negate the illusion powers of Jaslyn, the God of Indulgence.

Lt. Raver and Lt. Cabal lead these two squadrons, and they are both Demigods that do the bidding of Colonel Hawkins. Raver is a master of ice manipulation while Cabal can teleport in short distances. Currently, both of their squadrons have been decimated, and Raver has been slain in combat. Cabal was forced to retreat back to Hawkin's base.

Lieutenant Kholer is a demigod with the ability to turn her skin into a substance harder than diamond and more durable than steel. She stands at about 5'9" and is extraordinarily proficient with a sword. This became noticed by somebody high-up in a different branch of the military, and she was immediately recruited for their cause. She knows very little of what that cause is, but she follows it nonetheless.

She is one of Hawkin's underlings, and lead Unit 5 against the elderly gods; Vantas and Cruor. However, her squadron was decimated in battle, and Kholer killed herself before she could manage to reveal any information.

Cabal was the leader of Unit 8 before it was demolished by the gods. He is the Demigod of Dimensions, and therefore has the power to teleport. He is committed to the goal of the Demigods in their attempt to claim the celestial realms as their own. Now that his reputation is tarnished with the failure of his last mission and the death of his companion, Raver, he has a lot to make up for. However, he is fully determined to redeem himself and have vengeance upon those that did him wrong.

Lieutenant Ember is a very prideful warrior, and considers practically everybody beneath her. Other than, of course, her commanding officers. She is the leader of Unit 7, and was the forth strongest demigod. Now, with Raver's recent death, she climbed the ranks and is only behind Lt. Cabal and Colonel Hawkins. Her origins are shrouded in mystery, but she has been known to be around since Arthurian Times.

She fought alongside with her leader, Colonel Hawkins, at the final battle of New York City. Her squadron tackled on Danero, while Lt. Ember was involved in an epic one-on-one battle with Jaslyn. By the end of the battle, it seemed Jaslyn was victorious by inflicting fatal blows to Ember, but the demigod used a grenade at the last second to kill herself and took down Jaslyn with her.

Lieutenant Tyrace is a faithful soldier of the United States Air Force, and more importantly, a proud demigod serving under the leadership of Colonel Hawkins. Lt. Tyrace is the leader of Unit 4, but don't underestimate him because of his rank. He is known for his superior physical strength, and many ancient legends revolve around his story. This includes one of the most famous heroic tales of them all, the almighty champion known as Hercules.

At the final battle of New York City, Tyrace fought alongside with his leader, Colonel Hawkins. Tyrace faced against Spero and Kai, overwhelming them with his massive physical strength. However, his fatal mistake was leaving his guard down, and Kai finished him off with a p

These monsters originated from the Gray Wastelands of Carcari. Long ago, a few packs of them escaped from the celestial planes and found themselves wandering in the ancient sewers of England for centuries. They have been preying upon slops, vermin, and the occasional wandering humans. Their appetites have never been sated, and they have only become more blood-thirsty.

The Dragons found their way upon the earthrealm during the medieval ages. It seemed that end of the world has come for the humans as the dragons laid waste to their beloved cities. However, the Gods of the celestial realms and their children, the Demi-Gods of Earth, joined forces and fought against the dragons. It was a long and bloody war, but they managed to drive back the majority of the dragons back into the celestial realms and imprisoned them. Then, they purged the remaining dragons at earth. However, one dragon was kept alive in secret by the Demi-Gods. They used their powers to put the abomination into a deep slumber at the country that is now known as Russia, where the creature slept for several centuries. It seemed the creature was kept alive for only one purpose: to destroy.


http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/095/f/f/ff80ee908186618a1e71fdc91d186cdc-d3dbven.jpg
An unholy being that should never exist. A monstrosity created by the taint of Ruin and the lives of the celestials, this creature will obey its master without question. A perfect killing machine, its powers of corruption will destroy all in its path. Its hunger for death and decay will never be sated, because this creature will live in eternal torment because of its very nature.

Natasha is a single mother raising her only daughter, Lucie. The two of them have an extremely close bond and have been through many trials together. The two of them were on their way to New York City when they encountered Danero. Natasha formed an instant connection with the God of Metal, and quickly won his heart. She has offered a ride to Danero and his friends so that all of them together can reach Times Square.

http://itshairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Short-Hairstyles-for-Little-Girls.jpg

Lucie is the only daughter of her beloved mother, Natasha. She is a big bundle of joy that is a true embodiment of innocence. The world around her may be falling apart, but her hopes in an ideal future remains steadfast. When she encountered Danero, she knew she has the father she needed all her life. Is is unfortunate that her new, potential father is hiding a secret that could severely endanger the little girl and her mother.





Name: Calathiel
Gender: Female
Age: 2,700

Appearance: http://www.gamingunion.net/newsimg/lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii-theme-song-wont-be-traditional.jpg

Calathiel appears to be the antithesis of what one would expect of a servant of Chaos. Her hair is light, nearly blonde in good lightening, her frame is thin and toned. Calathiel strongly favors wearing white, and is almost always immaculate in appearance, well put together. There is a young adult youth and elegance associated with her.

Goddess of Discord

Faction: Chaos

Powers: Calathiel wields the power of influence and persuasion, the ability to manipulate the mind itself. Calathiel forges a telepathic link between her and her target, she is able to influence, and change their thoughts, their emotions and memories, even implementing the foreign and through slow and steady, or occasionally rapid torture can drive people absolutely insane, to point of death itself. Through centuries of training and work, Calathiel can even, with time and patience undo the mind of Gods themselves, and that far greater than she. It often serves to simply gain her an in, to point at which she can use other means of accomplishing her goals. Of course it is generally more effective in those with a weaker will.

Weapon: Poisoned tipped daggers.

Personality: Unlike most of her faction, Calathiel is outwardly personable, she is charming. There is almost a seductive element to her outward action, though beneath the surface is an intelligent, cunning and manipulative creature who can be cruel beyond imagine. She believes in accomplishing her goals no matter what the cost, and as such can be described as ruthless. Calathiel puts little faith in others and would largely rather work on her own. To her credit she is intensely loyal to her faction and the Monarch which she serves in particular.

Background: Calathiel was born to a high ranking family in the Black City. A family fiercely loyal to Baldramort, who served in their divine right at his side, his support. The hellscape of the Black City provided a distinctive education, one that would truly hone and sharpen the skills of wit and power, of deception and lies. The definition of Holy takes a new form in the Black City, ranking them above all. From a young age Calathiel was trained in her hatred and resentment of those closest to Order, for who were they to decide what Order truly looked like? Calathiel was taught that there was, indeed order in the Chaos and those who demanded regulations and to be confined to a set structure were the embodiment of oppression.

Calathiel found comfort in the darkness, with most in her faction her parents took an early withdrawal from her life, fighting in the natural state of war between the Order and Chaos, with those in between serving as mere distractions. She was left to a life at the bottom of the court, being raised by the darkness itself and trained then for her future in manipulation and combat. The gods and goddesses above her taking her under their wing. It was one fateful day, when her first significant order was handed down, after several centuries of training and perhaps in that time Calathiel found herself growing slightly stir crazy, trapped on the Demonic planes. This of course, making a degree of sense, the deteriorate the mind, to firmly instate the mentality of fear and loyalty that governed them all, even in the most hopeless of worlds.

The assignment was simple enough in instruction, to seek out the God of the Day and make render his being ineffective, to assassinate him in the end. From what Calathiel understood, the assignment was more of a political statement with the onset of waste than anything else. A change was needed, a message needed to be sent, and finally her time had come. Perhaps it was the air in a different realm, another plane of existence, but it was intoxicating to Calathiel, and with careful determination and of course, manipulation of memories and orders, she ingratiated herself in the court of the God, and over a period of months began to assault his mind. Slowly she unraveled the walls he had built, and began to dig to painful memories, of the wars and battles, those he had lost, and she amplified them, invigorating the pain, freshening the wounds, and forcing him to blame himself. The process was time consumption and arduous, it was around then that many would remember regrettably that he began to kill his own subjects, and threatened to wage war against his own kind, the Gods who adhered to a standard greater than the Chaos that truly dominated.

It was when she in fact, had managed to convince him to take his own life, ending his own reign once and for all, leaving just enough time before the next one would rise up and take his place in the Pantheon of the Gods. Calathiel returned home, and when met with silence and nods of approval and acceptance, she found her place amongst the world of Baldramort, to be his loyal servant, the assassin. With the darkness to shield them, she found herself comfortable in the roll of pet, whose art was perfected over the centuries. Time was only sweetening the pot.

Name: Markus

Gender: Male

Age: 2,450 years old

Appearance:
http://images.alphacoders.com/261/261563.jpg
Markus is tall by human stands, his well-built body stands at the height of six feet. He has thick, dark brunette hair with stylized bangs. He has brilliant bright-blue eyes and a chiseled face that often sway the hearts of the innocent goddesses. Beneath his red leather outfit, he hides many hideous scars. Slash marks across his abdomen, burn marks on his chest, and whip marks across his back.

God of Heroism

Faction: Order

Powers: Markus is the embodiment of legendary heroes past, present, and future. Their avatars reside in him, and their powers fill him. He gains the strength from the likes of Hercules, King Arthur, and Gilgamesh. He is capable of manipulating the energy of their avatars for offensive and defensive abilities. These powers range from creating concussive energy blasts to toss back enemies, or forming forcefields to defend himself and his allies.

Weapons: Dual Pistols, Combat Dagger

Personality: Unlike most of his fellow brethren of the Order faction, Markus is a brash and cocky character. He holds high confidence with himself and believes he can handle practically any situation thrown his way. He supports this belief after going through hell and back, and believes that nothing else can stand in his way. However, even though he holds himself with high self-esteem, he is quite the sociable and entertaining person while treating everybody with respect. He is incredibly loyal to his Monarch’s cause, and looks up to Luthious as an actual father. He is a kind-hearted person, and idealistically believes that there is goodness within each and every single entity, no matter how corrupted they are.

Background: Markus was originally born in the realm of Mechanus, within the great and futuristic city of Metropolis. He was created during the dark times of human history, and great heroes were needed to turn the tides of darkness. Both of his parents were a part of the Ten Councilors, ambassadors that often meet to discuss the status and issues of the celestial realms. Oftentimes, they are sent to the other realms as delegates to find the most peaceful... or best solutions. Markus was expected to take his father’s place, the God of Integrity.

However, Markus felt a different calling for his immortal life. He didn’t want to work behind the scenes and attempt to figure out the solutions. He wanted to be in the front lines of battle and become the solution himself. In a manner, he rebelled about his parents and performed many rash actions to prove that he was irresponsible for such a prestigious duty as a Councilor. However, they kept on pushing him to follow that life.

One day, he was traveling to the realm of Elysium to conduct business for his parents. However, during his venture there, he fell upon a rally lead by a young god, Zypher. The wicked lands of Carcari took away more innocent lives, and Zypher and his companions decided to retaliate and attack the faction of Chaos. Markus, figuring that this was his chance to prove himself to his parents, joined the group of warriors and prepared to assault the Grey Wastelands of Carcari.

They invaded the dark realm, and put up a courageous battle. However, the result was not what Markus was expecting at all. His allies were being slaughtered one after the other, and only him and Zypher were the only ones left battling against the corrupted hordes of Chaos. In the end, Zypher was forced to retreat, and Markus was captured. Instead of killing him, the entities of Chaos decided to have a little bit of fun with the so-called hero and took him to the Black City. There, he was severely tortured for several months. They kept on bringing Markus to the brink of death, but spared him to continue future pain.

Markus, to this day, still has nightmares of his horrible experience. He thought that this would be his eternal damned fate, just because he was acting so foolish to defy his parents wishes. However, there was light after all at the end of the dark tunnel.

Many months have passed, and Markus was trapped within one of the dark cells of the Black City’s dungeon. One day, as he was huddled to one of the damp corners, there was a bright light in the cell. The Noble of Order himself appeared to personally rescue Markus. Apparently, after much negotiations with the Prince of Chaos, Luthious had the young Markus released from his imprisonment. Markus was unsure what what his price for freedom, but is eternally grateful to the Order Monarch’s help.

Markus’s return home was much celebrated in Metropolis, but he knew that this visit was brief. After his experience, Markus still refuses to be in the sidelines of war and decided to join Luthious’s cause. He transferred to the realm of Elysium, and became a soldier. After proving his worth over many victorious battles, Markus was soon promoted to become one of Luthious’s personal bodyguards.






Premise

All Five Monarchs go missing, and then the King of Gods is slain by a mysterious but powerful entity. During Suriyel's death, the gods fell all over the regions of the world, where chaos and destruction will surely follow them.


Group A

Four gods - Zypher, Jaslyn, Danero, and Spero - have landed around a small town at the East Coast of America. Danero and Spero were guided by a bright ball of light towards the town, while Zypher and Jaslyn met up and formed an alliance. Zypher and Jaslyn plan to search for a Monarch and figure out a way to bring the Kingslayer to justice. Spero and Danero met up with Zypher and Jaslyn, and a battle almost ensued between them. Luthious, the Noble of Order, interrupted their battle and has gathered them for a purpose.

They are now assigned to travel to NYC to find a portal to Mechanus. On their way, and while traveling through a forest, they were attacked by two elite military squadrons created by Colonel Hawkins. At first, the group struggled against the soldiers, especially since they were facing two of the most powerful Demigods: Raver and Cabal. However, with the arrival and the aid of Lucielle, Jonas, and Morgana; the group of fallen gods managed to turn the tables and defeat the two military squadrons.

As they resumed their travels, Morgan left the group to continue her own goals. When they stopped at a motel to rest for the night, Zypher and Lucielle rekindled their romance. The next morning, Lucielle revealed that a key of celestial darkness is needed to open the portal to Mechanus. She performs a ritual where most of the group's astral forms are transferred to the Nightmare Realm, the homeland of Jonas. There, the realm was falling apart because of a lack of its host deity. Many bizarre events occurred to the entities, but in the end, Lucielle and Jonas were able to recover the key of darkness. The group were immediately transferred back to the earthen realm.

Unbeknownst to them, Jaslyn was visited by her father, Baldramort. She had to pay a terrible, unknown price in order to keep her friends and allies alive. She was forced to drink the Prince's blood, before he disappeared off and taunting the woman about her tragic past. Apparently, she gave birth to a child that was destined to bring the Apocalypse to the celestial realms, and she left the baby to be eaten by vicious wolves.

However, Spero reveals disturbing visions she had the previous night. Luthious was apparently trapped in a cage of darkness. Nobody quite understands what this means, but the next vision's was much more clearer. Zypher will be slain and lying in a pool of his own blood. It seemed like this dream would have come true, because the group soon faced a group of powerful demigods lead by the enigmatic Colonel Hawkins. The Colonel revealed to Spero that both of them are bastard children of the King himself, Suriyel. Hawkins plans to take his father's place and take the throne himself, putting the demigods upon a higher hierarchy than the celestials themselves. An epic battle took place between the demigods and fallen deities, but the demigods clearly overpowered the group.

Lucielle sacrificed her life for the group, allowing herself to die while teleporting everyone else to safety. Zypher, disheartened by the death of the love of his life, is filled with anger. He took his anger out of Jonas, who soon left to group to reunite with his brother. Luthious quickly made his reappearance, surprising everyone. The Noble enlisted the aid of Caes and Kai to join the group of fallen gods and their quest to reach Mechanus. However, Luthious could no longer lend his support and returned to the White City which was in peril, leaving the rest of the group to deal with Colonel Hawkins and his powerful lieutenants.

At the final battles of New York City, every single fallen deity was pushed to their limits. The demigods decided to divide and conquer, and so Tyrace faced against Kai and Spero, while Ember battled against Jaslyn and Danero. Zypher and Caes attempted to fend off Hawkins on their own, but they were seriously outmatched. Tyrace at first proved overwhelming with his physical might, but let his guard down in a critical moment, which allowed Kai to perform a finishing strike on the demigod. Danero fought against Ember's soliders, while Jaslyn and the lieutenant were involved in an epic one-on-one battle. In the end, Jaslyn managed to defeat Ember, but the demigod pulled out a grenade at the last second, incinerating the both of them. Zypher and Caes continued battling against Hawkins, and managed to take away one of his lives. Soon, all of the surviving fallen deities joined the battle, and everyone attempted to overwhelm Hawkins with their numbers.

The demigod proved too much, easily defeating them all and leaving Zypher at death's door. Spero, horrified by the sight, summoned a creature from the Astral Realm, Zadkiel, to battle Hawkins. The Astral Being proved powerful enough to take down Hawkins, easily killing off two of his lives. However, Zadkiel's time limit was up and he disappeared back to his own realm. Hawkins appeared to have won a long hard-fought victory.

Yet, it wasn't over. Zypher, whom was dying, managed to find and open the portal to Mechanus, which gave him back his godly essence. Zypher revived, and fought against Hawkins using his godly might, easily taking down another one of Hawkin's lives. On his last life, Hawkins attempting to use his trump card and summon a meteor to destroy his opponents. In the end, he failed when Spero shot an arrow through his heart, ending the life of Suriyel's offspring. The long battle was over, and now the group of fallen deities head towards Mechanus, where they intend to find the Kingslayer and bring him to justice.


Group B

Abbadon, the Goddess of Destruction lands in London and begins to terrorize the capital city. Lanaei, Nirvana, and Masecha arrive to stop Abbadon, but struggled to defeat her. Before Abbadon had a chance to slay one of the Balance gods, Selrina stepped in and easily killed Abbadon. Now, the group is traveling through the sewers in order to avoid the humans and other rogue gods. Their main goal is return to their home plane: Averas. To do so, they must reach the portal residing in Stonehenge.

One other god, Alcander, landed in the town of Dover. He was shorty detained by the humans, but the mad God of Trickery, Xele, broke him free. Xele dragged the reluctant Alcander to meet his new boss, Diz: the God of Ruin. Alcander was branded with a dark mark by the God of Ruin. Diz then threw Alcander over a cliff, and Alcander then impossibly found himself inside of the sewers and joined Selrina's group. They were shortly attacked by a group of monsters. Selrina held them back while the others ran, only to confront more of the Cerberi. The battle was fierce, but the fallen gods were victorious and Selrina returned back to the group.

They emerged out of the sewers to come across a lake. They rest for the night, enjoying each others company. Yet, during their time together, Selrina revealed that her sister, Malphas, was the cause of Suriyel's death, and that they must stop her from bringing upon more destruction to the realms. The next day, they hitch a ride with a kind old man. Quickly, Vin and Xele devised and enacted a plan where the police will halt the group's progress. During the confrontation with the law enforcement, Alcander was corrupted by the Mark of Ruin and attacked the humans. He was shortly gunned down, and his death caused the Mark of Ruin to activate a spell where Lanaei, Masecha, and Nirvana and sent to the Nightmare Realm. There, they traveled throughout the realm with the other group of gods in order to find the celestial key. Once it was recovered, the group was sent back to earth, where they discovered themselves residing in the city of Bath.

Selrina mysteriously went missing, and Nirvana was shortly captured by the police. The separated deities found Selrina, but they were two of them. When the gods reunited and the two Selrinas met, it was revealed that one of the Selrinas turned out to be actually Malphas: the Duchess of Pain. This was a violent encounter, and Malphas used her illusions to trick Selrina into almost killing everyone. Malphas disappeared and left behind the broken Selrina, who could barely face her own failures anymore.

That night, at camp, Selrina revealed the only way a portal to Averas can be opened. Selrina has to sacrifice her own life-force to open it, and there was a significant chance that the ritual may kill her. Despite the entire group's objections, Selrina was determined to complete the ritual. The next day, the ritual has begun and Selrina is left vulnerable by its effects. The group remained to protect her, and Diz shortly appeared with his threats. He summoned an Abomination - a being of corruption sewn together by the bodies of several fallen deities - and ordered the beast to attack.

The group was overwhelmed by the Abomination's might, and were severely losing the battle. Selrina was at risk due to the ritual, and the Abomination attempted to take advantage of that and attacked her. However, Masecha sacrificed his own life by throwing himself in front of the Abomination. His death renewed the group's focus to protect Selrina, and together, took down the deadly beast. Selrina managed to complete the ritual just in time to deal the finishing blow to the Abomination, shortly before falling into a coma due to losing most of her lifeforce. The rest of the fallen deities carry her back home to Averas, where they intend to restore the balance of the multiverse.


Group C

Ipos, Jag, Scarecrow, and Vantas landed all around a Russian city. All of them began to cause chaos and destruction by slaughtering humans. Quickly, they all mee=t each other, and a battle exploded between them all. The city fell apart from their onslaught, and so a manipulated Russian General orders a nuclear strike on the elder gods to rid them from endangering the country even further.

The elder gods continued their battle as the nuclear missile approached, but before the missile made contact, a black vortex opened up in the sky and swallowed it whole. Baldramort appeared to the elder gods, and stated that he was the one who killed Suriyel. Jag called him a liar, and then found her heart ripped out by the Prince of Chaos. Ipos and Scarecrow ran away in fear for their lives, but the God of Bloodshed, Cruor, found himself in the company of Vantas and the Prince. Baldramort then ordered Cruor and Vantas to find the key to opening a portal to Carcari, which resides in Vatican City. The key is the heart of a powerful but innocent god/goddess.

Shortly after beginning their journey, Cruor and Vantas met with Karliah, who decided to join their group. While searching for such an innocent entity, the group was attacked by one of Hawkin's squadrons, lead by the Demigod, Lieutenant Kholer. The entire battle was a bloodbath. The soldiers were slaughtered, and Kholer lost the battle. She revealed that the Destroyer will take care of them, but she ends up killing herself. Karliah received a severe injury during the battle, which lead to Vantas and Cruor abandoning her. They shortly found another devious companion, Kavi, to join their hunt for the innocent entity.

They found themselves a town to rest in, but it was strangely abandoned. Sibriskaya, a mad god, slaughtered the inhabitants and befriended the group shortly before the Destroyer appeared and began to wreck havoc. It was a titanic battle between immortal beings, but the last dragon was severely damaged in the fight. However, Vantas was swallowed whole by the creature before it made its escape and took flight towards America. During the flight, Vantas destroyed the legendary creature from the inside out, before falling from the sky and landing in the state of New York. A goddess of innocence discovered the injured Vantas, who lost his beloved connection with the Void.

During his travels, Vantas found one of his old rivals, Zypher. He temporarily worked with the group in their battle against Colonel Hawkins, while Kavi and Cruor had their own battle against Lieutenant Cabal. Kavi and Cruor soon found an aircraft to travel to America and answer Vantas's call. During the battle against Colonel Hawkins, Vantas was forced to kill Iravelle because she turned out to be a mindless servant for the demigods. After slaying the goddess, the Void lord regained his powers and attacked Colonel Hawkins. The battle nearly ended in a draw, but Lucielle teleported Vantas away before further harm could be done.

Kavi and Cruor finally managed to reunited with Vantas, and had a quick encounter with the other group of gods in New York City. During this encounter, Jonas left his former group and rejoined his brother's side. They began a new quest: to destroy Baldramort. They traveled all the way to Vatican City, where they found themselves in an underground forgotten temple. Now, the group of gods begin their attack on Baldramort, planning to kill the Prince of Chaos himself.

They will soon realize that this plan will be the end for them all. Their combined might against the Monarch proved futile, as he easily defeated them all with his unholy powers. Baldramort intended to sacrifice their lives in order to open the portal to Carcari, but in a sick twist, his ritual backfired and sapped away his own lifeforce. Damian, the God of the Apocalypse, is the long-lost son of Baldramort, and he returned to ensure his father's death by ruining his ritual. Damian quickly departed, letting the fallen gods to battle one last time against Baldramort, and this life they were victorious.

Baldramort laid dying, but refused to let a lesser being to take away his own life. The proud Prince committed suicide by stabbing himself, and was the first Monarch to die after the Fall. The battle was over, but chaos and destruction still reigned in the multiverse. The group of fallen deities decided to travel to Carcari, to continue their journey and their dark ambitions.



The Rules - Must Read!

1. Even though we are playing as gods... please do not godmod/metamod/powerplay. These kinds of things are never fun.
2. Please respect all players. The words of the GM and Co-GMs are law. The Co-GMs are TheCatandTheBat and TheDoctor.
3. Romance and swearing is fine. Just don't take it to the extreme. Don't curse practically every other word. If things get steamy, please fade-to-black/take it to the PMs.
4. If you are going to be inactive, please VM/PM myself or one of the co-gms; or make a notification in the OOC thread. After a week of inactivity and no response, we will take control of your character and use him/her as we deem fit. This may include death of your character.
5. For now, sadly, only one character per person. You are welcome to create a companion for your character (such as a bewildered human or a mystical familiar)
6. Two paragraphs are the recommended minimum. However, I am not too strict about this rule considering I understand writer's block or simple dialogue exchange, a co-post would be really useful for the latter though. I would really appreciate though if you push yourself to make great posts. A little bit of spelling and grammar error is fine, but please don't make it unbearable.
7. Once you create your character, I will make the decision (after discussing with my fellow Co-GMs) which group your character will fall into. There are many sorts of factors involved with your placement, including: personality, powers, faction, history, etc. If you really have a specific group you want to be placed in, PM me about it so we can discuss.
8. I will add more rules as I deem fit. For I am the GM and my word is law.
9. Most important rule... have fun! Seriously, let your creativity and imagination run wild! Have a freakin' blast!

Name: Zypher
Gender: Male
Age: 2,400 years
Appearance: http://images6.alphacoders.com/416/416778.jpg

Zypher has the appearance of a young human adult in his twenties. He has pure-white blonde hair that’s a bit messy in style. His body is naturally lean and toned. He has a scar across his chest, a claw mark, from a battle with a previous god.



God of: Purification
Faction: Order

Powers: Zypher has the power to manipulate Holy Fire. The flames of Holy Fire are white. Its effective against evildoers such as demonic beings and sinful humans. The flames themselves cause cause scorching pain to a mundane human, but instead of burning them, it purifies the darkness within. The flames do cause harm against demonic beings, as the divine fire scorches through their very essence. When the flames are used against a neutral or benevolent super-being, it acts like regular fire.

Weapons: A chain sword-whip (http://thedarkblade.com/wp-content/uploads/ninja-blade-whip.jpg)

Personality: Zypher, like most of his faction, is a noble being. He is kindhearted and has a strong sense for justice. He is a loyal soldier of the Order. He is willing to lay his life on the line to save others. However, he doesn’t necessarily believe in sacrificing others for the greater good. He always believe that there is more than one way to solve a problem, and will be determined to find the best solution. Even though he is an idealistic person, he is not naive. He rarely shows his anger, for he knows it is a dark path to let oneself be consumed by it.

Background: Zypher’s place of birth was in the White City itself. He, like the rest of his fellow gods, were trained to become overseers of justice. After a hundred years of training, he was ready for war. Unfortunately, before his first battle, Zypher learned that his divine parents were slain by the Faction of Chaos. Anger consumed Zypher, for he wanted revenge. He, along with a dozen other gods of the White City, went against the orders of their commander and invaded the dark realm of Carcari.

Zypher and his fellow gods fought bravely against the onslaught at the Gray Wastes, but they were rapidly dying one after the other. In the end, Zypher was the only one left, and he was outnumbered. He retreated and went into hiding. He didn’t know how long he was running in Carcari, for it seemed like an eternity. One day, a group of benevolent gods appeared high up in the sky, and rescued Zypher. He returned home back to the White City, and was presented to Luthious himself. Zypher expected to be scolded and punished by the Noble of Order. He knew that his rash actions caused the deaths of his companions. He was completely shocked when Luthious embraced him in his arms. From then on, Luthious became a father figure to Zypher.

Zypher continued fighting in the war against Chaos, until he became around 400 years old. Luthious then assigned him a different task, to purify the souls of humans. There was an explosion of humans seeking salvation through worship, and Zypher used his powers to purify the sins of those who were sincere. His duty continued for the next 2,000 years. Lately, though, sin has become more rampant upon Earth. The sincerity and goodness of humans dramatically decreased, and their souls have been lost to the dark planes. Zypher still purifies those who actually do send out sincere prayers every once in a while.

One fateful day, though, Luthious went missing. The entire White City was in uproar as they searched for their faithful leader. News spread fast, and apparently all Five Monarchs were missing from their respectful realms. About a day later, a terrible silence entered the celestial realms. The gods didn’t know how or why, but all of they knew that their King, Suriyel, was dead.

Hundreds of falling stars then appeared over the night sky of the planet, Earth. The gods were banished from their homes after the death of their King. What happened to the Monarchs? And who slain the King of Gods? After the fall, Zypher will be determined to find out.

Name: Jaslyn

Gender: Female

Age: 3,370

Appearance:
http://img11.nnm.me/2/8/7/e/a/f4df28852c2d70e30ff69377710_prev.jpg
Jaslyn is very toned and stronger than she may appear, though she looks pretty tough already. Her hair is a light, blush red.

Goddess of: Indulgence

Faction: Balance

Powers: Jaslyn has a talent for reading what the heart most desires, and the power to give it. For hundreds of years, men and women sought for her attention, beseeching her with prayer, praise, sacrifice, all in the hopes that she would give them what they most desired. Her attention, however, is difficult to catch, and most who seek her do so in vain.

Those fortunate--or even unfortunate--enough to be granted an audience, however, plead for their desire to be granted to them. Jaslyn has heard cries for power, for love, for vengeance, for wisdom, and everything in between, both good and evil. But she is a harsh and wrathful mistress, and not all who find her return to tell of it.

Upon falling to the earth, her power has been crippled. While once able to grant a mortal whatever they sought--if she so pleased--now her power only lies in illusion. For those weak of mind, her illusions can become an eternal prison they are unable to escape until their body wastes away. Those with a stronger willpower can break through the illusion, but some desperate souls would choose not to.

Weapons: Jaslyn wields a deadly claw weapon (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130519102540/finalfantasy/images/d/d7/CatsClaws.png) on each hand.

Personality: Jaslyn has an abrasive personality. She is blunt, impatient, and incredibly quick to anger. She despises those who waste her time, which is why many who entered into her presence in the good ol’ days didn’t come out alive. However, with a fiery temper comes fiery passion, and it is not unheard of for men who have earned her favor to spend a night--or several--in her company. But while being charming and sultry is not difficult for her, it is a rarity, for there are few she finds deserving of it.

As a goddess of balance dwelling in Eden, Jaslyn prefers the company of animals to both mortals and immortals alike. Their hearts are pure and their desires easily granted, as their minds are not burdened with corruptive intelligence.

Background: Jaslyn was “born” nearly three and a half thousand years ago, the result of a brief but chaotic union between Baldramort himself and the Goddess of Greed. Despite this less than savory parentage, Jaslyn is not evil, though she could hardly be considered good either. She is simply apathetic, giving little care to the affairs of gods or mortals. Though many would perhaps consider it a shame that the power to grant wishes fell to one so detached and cold, the Faction of Balance looked at it as wise. If she had been as benevolent as those of Order and Wisdom, Jaslyn might have been so compassionate as to grant the desires of all well-meaning worshippers. Or, had she been malevolent like Pain and Chaos, the world would likely have burned.

Having concluded this, the gods and goddesses of Balance accepted her into their fold and granted her a place in Eden. If ever Jaslyn had truly loved anything, it had been the Paradise Garden. Now, having fallen to the treacherous, despicable, and uncivilized earth, Jaslyn is determined to do whatever is necessary to get back to her beloved home.

Age: He stopped counting after one million, but he was never certain of when he truly started existing (explained in background)

http://www.theanimegallery.com/data/thumbs/790px/0147/tAG_147331.jpg
Vantas is a lean man in his (apparent) late 20s/early 30s who stands at a subtle 5'10". He bears distinguishable moderately short crimson hair and golden eyes. His attire usually consist of what is in the picture: black pants, black long-sleeved shirt, and a long black coat.

God/Goddess of: the Void

Faction: Chaos

Powers: Vantas has the ability to manipulate darkness in its purest form. This darkness can be used for physical manipulation, like conjuring walls, tendrils of pure darkness, etc., from an instance in space. However, it can also be used to whisper contradictions into a soul's heart, causing conflict and potential corruption in their conscious decisions. These contradictions question the person's moral or psychological boundaries and decisions, which Vantas sees not as manipulation but as opening the victim's mind.

Weapons: A lance (http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs9/i/2006/150/8/a/Solemncry___New_by_bitterashes.jpg)

Personality: Vantas is a confident man who has complete and utter faith in his philosophies and abilities. This is evident in the grin that he frequently bears upon his face, keeping his calm even in the most dire situations. However, this confidence is not to be mistaken for arrogance. Vantas does not allow his confidence to cloud his judgement, believing in exactly what he knows and does and nothing more. Assumptions and ideals are nothing to him, for he instead views the universe from a realist standpoint.

Background: The Lord of the Void never really knew when, why, or how he began. All that he knows is where he was created: in the Void, a consistent state of nonexistence that is everywhere and nowhere all at once. It is the infinitely small spaces between every piece of the universe in every moment of time, but it is far from tangible. It is, and it isn't.

Vantas believed that his consciousness spawned from the Void, but he also believed that his consciousness was in there since the beginning of time. Nonetheless, he existed at some point in time and found himself in Carcari under the hand of Baldramort. He found himself somewhat different from the other gods united with the Prince of Chaos, for while they desired pain, suffering, and death, Vantas desired something entirely different.

Freedom. Pure, unfiltered freedom. The other gods were bound by their meager desires and bloodshed while Vantas asked for something essentially unobtainable. Even he was bound by his desire, and the only way to free himself of it was to achieve it. He desired the Void to become reality, for only in the Void, in a state of nonexistence and omniscience at the same time, could one truly obtain freedom.

They were also bound by another being: the King of Gods. But while the other gods in Carcari saw it as bondage by the entity, Vantas saw it as bondage from the throne itself. The concept of a ruler amongst the gods was a principle that had to be disposed of. The Five Monarchs, and even the Prince of Chaos himself, simply had to go in Vantas's eyes. It was essential in order for the Void to be achieved.

And so when the King of Gods fell, Vantas saw it as another step closer to the Void. With the King fallen and the other gods established as humans like himself, he could climb to the throne and destroy it. Once the idea of a ruler was gone, the Void could be renewed, and true freedom could be found.

Character Sheet

Name: Ipos Gusion

Gender: Male

Age: ???

Appearance:4367

Gushion is a male that appears to be between the ages of 25 and 30. WIth sunken cheeks and pale skin that rival his gray hair he is quite the sight to behold. Across his left eye he sports a scar from a battle with one of the gods and on the right side of his chest is tattooed a sand dial.
God/Goddess of: Time/Space

Faction: Pain

Powers: Before his fall Ipos, or as most called him Gushion controlled all of time and space. He could bend time to his will even stopping the whole universe from moving on. With his space manipulation he could create new stars by using gravity to compress matter. However after his fall all he can do now is control vectors. He is able to reverse anything that has a vector, and is able to effect the vectors of things around him as long as he comes into contact with it.

Weapons: None

Personality: Gushion was what humans would call a Sociopath. He was willing to do anything to get what he wanted even if that cost the lives of others. They were nothing more than pawn to him, and he was the king. He is also the type to plan carefully before going into a situation, and is willing to sit back decades waiting for the opportune moment. Most tended to avoid him if not out of fear but out of annoyance. If he took a interest in you he wouldn't ive up till he knew every single detail.*

Background: Gushion was timeless. Not even the oldest of gods could say when he showed up. One day he wasn't there and the next he was. He's always been the outcast of al the gods spending his time watching over humanity and effecting them. HE had been pleaded with to leave the humans be, but Gushion had found to many to take interest in. He even helped advance humanities science. He first started with giving them fire, and then moving on to teaching them math, and the concepts of time. THe most beneficial thing he taught them though was physics which they used to mass produce weapons of mass destruction which did nothing but fuel Gushion's interest. He was willing to even push them far enough to challenge the gods themselves.*

When news of the King's death reached Gushion all he did was shrug. HE felt no love or hate for the king, and saw no interest in a almighty being who did nothing but sit on his throne and boss around others. However he was soon cast out like the rest of his brethren towards the earth. He would now become apart of the world he had so generously pushed forward.*

Name: Lanaei

Gender: Female

Age: Unknown

Appearance: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/007/d/9/_com___goddess_of_the_nature__by_goku_no_baka-d5qr2l6.jpg
She appears early 20s in her human form. Her appearance changes with the seasons accordingly. She remains as she is in the photo for most of Spring and Summer, when Autumn arrives she cuts her hair and her eyes darken to a deep brown , with winter her eyes are black and her hair sticks up at uneven angles.


God/Goddess of: Goddess of the Seasons

Faction: Balance

Powers: When in her true home, she has the power to give or take life from any living creature or aspect of nature. In her role as Goddess of the Seasons, she brought life to earth each year for Spring, she would allow the plants to sprout and let the world turn green again. Summer she would warm the earth and let the flowers bloom and harvest to grow.

However, in her faction of balance, when Autumn came, she brought death to much of her creations. With Winter, she controlled the blanket of white that covered the earth. Although not in control of all weather, she did control the weather that was associated with their seasons such as Sun with Summer and Snow with Winter.

When she fell, her powers were greatly restricted, she can still bring and take life to all creatures, though each act greatly weakens her and she must physically touch the creature. This hinders her as her motherly nature forces her to try and save all of her creations during Spring.

Her control of the weather is also weakened and incredibly out of sync. She can try to create Sunshine and will plummet her surroundings into Snow. She uses these powers little for fear that any abrupt change would kill off her creations.

Weapons: http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/803491.jpg?zm=1600,1600,1,0,0Shield

Personality:
Lanaei appears innocent and naive. She is incredibly caring, joyful and carefree. She will constantly smile and can appear childlike in her movements. She will harm nothing and will try to save everything but only during Spring and Summer. On earth, she will roam free and often find herself in troublesome situations due to her naivety and her general stupidity in earthly situations. When she was in her true home, she was fiercely protected by others during the time of Spring and Summer as she was easily attacked and corrupted. However when the world changes to Autumn and Winter, she will turn cold and become the opposite of her previous self. She will snap at those around her and is easily provoked. During this time, death is her only company and she will slowly kill her creations to create a blank canvas for the next year.

Background: The Granddaughter of Selrina, she was treasured and feared in her true home. In her younger years she was careless with her powers, boiling certain places and plummeting others into snow for the joy of the darkness within her. After wisdom from her Grandmother was placed upon her, she truly realised the need for balance in the world. As the Goddess of Seasons she was a major part of this balance, both the bringer of life and death to Earth. Lanaei learned to love her role and takes much pride in her work, with her fall to earth, she is finding it hard to adapt. She cannot help the earth change its seasons and it pains her greatly. She is searching for a way back so that she may return to full power and correct the mistakes she has already made and those made by the other Gods and Goddesses.

12-18-2013, 08:57 PM
Lol no need for a meta physics major. Lol I had heard about vectors in high school, and in a anime I watched a character controlled vectors so I decided to do research. Everything has a vector. Every movement every piece of matter down to the smallest particle has a vector. The vectors move in diffrent ways causing diffrent things to be effected. For example using vectors on your brain could erase memories or even generate new ones. You can use it to effect gravity and even matter that isn't supposed to exist because it would still have a vector. Now the way the person in the anime used it was usually only physically to enhance his strength or deflect bullets. However he did throw a building at th speed of light.

Name: Spero

Gender: Female

Age: 2,290

Appearance: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/299/0/4/warrior_2_by_wlop.jpg
Spero appears to be a female around her middle-twenties. She has pale, near to white, blue eyes; some say her iris's resemble that of a crystal structure. Her hair is jet black, falling down to her breasts. She stands at a somewhat average height of 5'8". Her body is well toned from years of training and real combat.

Goddess of: The Unknown and Unseen

Faction: Pain

Power(s): Astral Projection: Spero has the ability to travel outside of her body, through means of astral projection she may travel anyway she wishes as long as it is in her mind, she need only think of the location. (She much be asleep to do this.) This includes the past, though she can do this, she's only managed to go into the past a couple times. Her astral form is ethereal, she cannot change the past, nor the future even if she were to know what is to come. This power also gives her the ability to see the future through many different means, therefore it is not always clear. (e.g. Flames, water, wind, dreams, etc.) She also can see the consequences of an individual's actions, how it will affect them. She need only make contact. Spero may also see or feel things others cannot, a sixth sense one might say.

She does not necessarily love her power, but she also doesn't hate it. Since falling upon Earth, her powers have indeed dwindled.

Weapon(s): http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131125060319/irlsao/images/8/83/Redemption.jpg
The blade known as Melgrei is a weapon Spero has owned for over 2,000 years. Melgrei is much lengthier than its owner, its length being about seven feet. She has the strength to wield the massive blade with ease, as the sword has become apart of her. (She also uses a bow as shown in her appearance.)

Spero knows how to fight, for her ability does not help her in battle. Over the years of training and actual battle, she has grown in great strength, endurance, stability, and etcetera. Myriad folk say she is a foe not to be toyed with, and a deadly match to even the most lethal of gods. She has many techniques, and usually does not use the same pattern in fighting; she'll change her movement to stifle her opponent.

Personality: Spero is nothing if not filled with deceit. She enjoys gaining her way through whatever means, and will manipulate any one person whom seems easy enough to fool. She is one who craves for power, that's something she's longed for; to be at the top. She is also one of patience, she will not rush things, as it could mean her loss in whatever she'd been working towards. She is cruel as well, and unsympathetic; she does not tolerate self-pity. She also loves the sense of danger and adventure; but she can at times have a temper and she tends to be apathetic. One may say deceiving is foul played, but Spero thinks otherwise. If it gets you where you want, then she sees no problem in it. Although Spero is one to relish the despair and pain of others, there is something else about her that may contradict her from just an utter malevolent being... Thus, she can be quite a mystery.

Background: Spero never knew her actual parents, she had no idea who they could've been, or if they even still live. She was taken in by a minor god who's power doesn't even begin to match her own (or maybe it is far greater). Her adoptive father was the God of Hardship, one couldn't say whether that was a good or a bad thing; depends on how one looks at it. However, her new father was not a man of cruelty, he was a good man one would say. He kept his past in the past and never spoke of it, so how he got to be in the world of Malphas, only he knew.

Aside from her unknown origin, Spero lived a life within Tartarus. She knew one thing about her origin, and it was that she wasn't born within Hades. She never experienced life outside of Hades, and her father kept it that way. She didn't particularly mind, but it was rather irritating to be stuck in one place for decades. She was a cruel goddess among her peers, and many were quite shaken by here presence; except for one god she grew fond of, his name was Yeru.. The two were closely alike and became fast friends and often parred with one another. Spero trained often with her bow and sword, for when war waged she'd be prepared.

She was as odd as she was cruel, being the Goddess of the Unknown and having such a malevolent personality was a bit strange. It was most likely due to her parentage, whatever it may have been. Her power was shameful in itself, or so she thought, and it proved of no use to her. Though at times it did frighten her, to see things within flames and leaves, and even in her dreams; some of the things she wished she could un-see. These things were all but terrifying.

Spero's father had always been overly protective of her, hence why he's kept her in Hades all her life. Although she could have defied him and left, she felt afraid for what she might find. Her father once said, when they had fought over Spero leaving, that she may not like what she finds if she's to seek out her origin. And that's what she wanted to do, that was the only reason she had for ever wanting to leave. However, her father's words had indeed troubled her. Therefore, she never left, but she did make up some poor excuse for a reason to stay.

Spero had never once allowed a tear to fall, she would not cry for anything; not even when Yeru had fallen in battle. There was a small battle within the Chaos faction and Yeru felt the need to help them, that was one thing that they differed on. She did not let herself shed a single tear. Instead, she became angry. She knew not which god had taken his life all those years ago, but she sought out revenge, and one day she would have that.

When word got out that the King had been slain, Spero was somewhat surprised, but she realized this was also an opportunity. She could take the throne for her own, and become a being of true power... As all of the gods have been cast out, this could prove to be an advantage even if it may not be seemly.

Name: Arianwen
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
Appearance:4371 Arianwen is petite with silver hair.
God/Goddess of: Air and Wind
Faction: Balance
Powers: Arianwen has control over the air and wind. She can create wind as she can dismiss it. She can take the air from a room or create a blizzard from a breeze. Arianwen's power is controlled both by her breath (for example, she could blow a kiss and cause a gust) or though hand motions. She tends to avoid using her powers if she can since she cannot always control the indirect effects of using her powers, such as the effect on water however she will use them if there is an opportunity to restore balance where there is an inequality. She does use her powers when she is using weapons particularly her bow and arrow as her control over the air gives her truer aim.
Weapons: She can use a sword but prefers a bow and arrow.
Personality: Arianwen is naturally cautious and observant. She does not rush headlong into anything without first considering the alternative actions and the consequences of the path she is on. She fears upsetting the balance of things with her actions. She is kind by nature and any act of violence that she deems must happen, leaves a deep sadness within her.
Background: Arianwen was unusual at birth. One of her parents came from the faction of Order, the other from Chaos. Members of both factions wanted her for their own, others from both factions wanted her dead. It was Selrina who claimed her on Harku's advice. Harku had suggested that a child born of both order and chaos could belong in no other place than alongside those who create balance and so Arianwen was raised in Alvestra by foster parents. Although every monarch knew where she came from, there were few other Gods and Goddesses who did which aided in her acceptance. Arianwen was full of questions growing up, about who her parents were and why they had not raised her themselves, but her questions went unanswered and as time passed, she simply stopped asking although it is still a curiosity that remains.
Arianwen assumes her parents must have been a part of the order faction too, not just because that's where she was raised but also because her powers are related to the elements as are Selrina's herself.

RedKayne
12-19-2013, 12:55 AM
Arenwen is accepted. But I think you made a small mistake, AmberRose. You mentioned that she belongs to the Faction of Order, yet she is staying with Selrina and the Faction of Balance?

Vælling
12-19-2013, 03:06 AM
Halfway through writing this character, I got the mother of all fucking headaches. Which I guess is pretty appropriate, on second thought. Anyway, here it is.

Name: Jag. That's about it. It's straightforward, to the point, doesn't fuck around-- actually, it's a little like Jag, now that she thinks about it. Ain't that a fuckin' kick.

Gender: Gender seems to Jag so very... so very human a conceit. And yet it seems even the deities find themselves helpless without some ability to fit each and every individual into their own little boxes in order to make sense of their world. For what it's worth, the form in which she has found herself upon seems to be a female one, so perhaps for ease of reference, Jag will indulge the simple-minded and use their pointlessly gendered pronouns for ease of reference.

Age: Fuck if she knows. Funny thing about being immortal: eventually, everything starts to sorta blur together, and the circumstances of one's creation become indistinguishable from the rest of the haze. Perhaps she was born the very second someone-- perhaps mortal, perhaps deity-- was seized with violent urges and acted upon them. That sounds appropriately... uh, 'mythical', so to speak.

Appearance:

(I ain't got no picture or whatever, so a description is gonna have to suffice here.)

Well, it's not exactly like a deity of violence and war can be some diminutive, insubstantial dotard for whom the merest of fleeting breezes would spell disaster-- Jag's not into the whole contrarian angle. It would appear some human authors are quite fond of that sort of irony-- depicting Death as some cheerful young airhead, or indeed, War as some kind of wafer-thin sap, or a child. The fuck with all that: Jag has no patience for it. She's a deity of war and damn well looks it-- it's etched into every inch of her seven feet and eight inches of immense musculature in a language any being, mortal or otherwise, can appreciate.

Jag's skin is a canvas of a dark tawny hue, one that plays host to a menagerie of scars that stem largely from her earliest years. Of that time, she recalls little-- only that an overbearing ravening for violence led her to belligerent conflict against other nascent deities: young and newly formed from the void as she was, many a cicatrice was inflicted upon her form in those initial clashes. However, her power has burgeoned in the unimaginable aeons since, and her form grew immune to lasting physical damage-- the scars that yet linger are merely vestiges of the piteous wretch she had once been, a testament as much to the pathetic weakness she once languished as it is to the might she has since accrued.

Or at least, the might she once enjoyed before some fucker went and killed the king. Yeah, you can bet that bastard is gonna hurt for this shit.

As facial features go-- again, no irony here. Nothing soft or delicate about her: the hard-edged, defined characteristics Jag's mien entertains are more or less much what one would expect of such a callous figure, and one could indeed suppose her countenance bears the impression of a block of stone, carved and shaped into its current form. High, pronounced cheekbones carve out an enclave inhabited by a small, slightly pointed nose that has clearly been broken more than once in the past, set over a pair of svelte lips: her eyes are slender, keen, the irises a cold, hard green in colour, and her greying black hair is fashioned into thick, ragged dreadlocks that linger listlessly around her waist.

God/Goddess of: War. Violence. Fucking shit up. So on and so forth.

Faction: Although ostensibly residing within the realm of Pain (where else is the deity of war gonna go?), Jag knows no loyalty except to her own ceaseless voracity for violence. Her sole agenda is whatever means she gets to hunt and fight and destroy and murder-- whatever fulfils that void.

Powers:

Jag's primary source of power has always been... solidity, for lack of a better word. At the peak of her might, when violence and destruction engulfed the realms of the gods and Jag glutted on it all greedily, the deity of war became nigh-indestructible-- at least, in the physical sense. The more and more she killed, the more and more difficult it became to kill her, until she achieved something almost akin to invulnerability to physical destruction.

And then the goddamn king of the gods had to go and get fucking killed, naturally.

Having consequently fallen to Earth, Jag is no longer the avatar of indestructible might she once was. Fortunately, she yet retains vestiges of that former efficacy-- she enjoys strength immense even amongst the deities, and indeed remains incredibly difficult to injure, much less kill. However, she has lost the solidity of presence that once lent her immunity to attacks upon her mind itself, to which she has now found herself woefully vulnerable. Goddamn mind-benders. They should all be rounded up and summarily beaten to death. Real strength, after all, has nothing to do with playing about with an adversary's thoughts-- to do so is not the essence of war, merely the essence of trickery and asinine deceit.

Weapons: Her own two hands prove sufficiently potent in most cases.

Personality:

Violence is not simply Jag's domain-- her element as a deity over which she presides, the arena in which she is of unquestionable calibre. If anything, it's all she is: the core of her being and the all-encompassing nature of her entirety. And consequently, for the span of her existence, Jag has known a ravenous, unbearable need for it-- through acts of violence, through the consummate satisfaction of destruction and combat, she fulfils a void that otherwise burgeons ceaselessly and tears at every shred of what she is. She doesn't know why, doesn't know from whence came that agonising ravening that demands gratification on pain of loss of power and degradation of presence-- and frankly, she doesn't give a shit. She needs to fight and loves to fight, and it's the only way of fulfiling that void. Even if it continues to expand, even if it may well be that someday no amount of violence will suffice in appeasing it... well, that time is far off, and it's not something Jag prefers to dwell upon.

Naturally, a deity of violence is going to be anything but an agreeable individual to encounter-- this is especially true considering Jag's general policy as far as interacting with other beings goes is 'kill it, maybe it'll put up a good fight'. Rare is the occasion that Jag feels it's necessary to restrain her own urge to violence-- indeed, rare is the occasion that any of the other deities wants anything much to do with the murderous deity of war: the infrequent non-violent interaction with Jag proves her every bit as disagreeable and unpleasant an individual as could be suspected. She has great disdain for idle talk: anything that cannot be communicated with a physical gesture may be spared a single-syllable, one word grunt. Anything that cannot be communicated in that much is probably not worth communicating.

On the whole, what you see is what you get: Jag is too concerned with preventing her lust for violence from devouring her to entertain such inanities as solidarity with others, or loneliness, or the vacillations of emotion. The only thing that's real to her is violence-- the act, and her need for it.

Also, chocolate chip cookies-- Jag can't remember just how it came about that she gave those little human confectionaries a try, but holy shit are they fucking delicious. Okay, okay, she's amending her initial statement-- the only things that are real are violence, and chocolate chip cookies.

Background:

Jag was from the very beginning a being defined by her inescapable hunger for the element over which she reigned as deity-- if there was ever a time that she didn't feel that void within her and the need to satiate its ceaseless craving for destruction, then it is lost amidst a haze of vehemence and the duress of her own nature. Her earliest memories are of attacking the other deities in a frenzied attempt to satisfy her urges-- recollections of shame and humiliation at the wretched impotency she suffered then, the weakness that deprived her of that which everything that composed her existence desperately needed.

But she grew more powerful. In sating the vehement ravening that impelled her to cause violence, Jag accrued greater and greater solidity to her presence-- to her potency, to her ability to impress upon the world around her that she deserved to exist and that in power and violence she had a reason to be. That sense of not only possessing essence and substance, but of deserving to have it and of being able to force others to recognise that she deserved it-- it became addictive, and she began to pursue the inimitable sensation of purpose almost obsessively.

That addiction, if it could be so branded, from the onset dominated Jag's actions and agenda. Her antagonistic, aggressive nature, fueled by her passion and need for violence, earned her the scorn and ire of the other deities: her habit of stirring bellicosity and provoking war, needless to say, won her no solidarity or affection. Her alliances with others were brief and almost always ended when her appetite for wanton slaughter overruled whatever sense of affinity she developed toward them, and invariably, they too became targets of her lust for war. No structure to her life existed: no loyalty to monarchs, no rapport with the mortals whose endless warring lent her further might, no allegiance to the five factions that divided the deities. Her sole source of edifice was the urge to violence-- it alone informed her actions, and it reigned sovereign over all other priorities and desires.

By the time of the King's demise, Jag had achieved the peak of her power-- thriving on the violence and misery endemic to Earth and its inhabitants, she began to feel at last that she had earned her own existence, that she had forsaken the pitiful wretch she had once been aeons immeasurable ago. And the ravening... for the first time, it seemed it was abating. Jag found herself uncertain as to how to feel about that-- about the waning, at last, of the thing that had driven her throughout her entire existence.

Turned out, she'd never know. For when she was cast from the realm of the deities to Earth, the ravening encompassed her once again, more vehement, hungrier and all the more bitter than ever. Confusion seized upon her, soon to be intermingled with fury, sorrow, and the return of the agony of unfulfilment that had once ruled her-- she needed to kill again.

Jag found herself in the realm of the mortals, stripped of her might just as it had reached its pinnacle, devoid of allies or structure, left with nothing but the void she had begun to believe she had at last escaped.

Heh, your character somewhat scares me 0_0

Regardless, she is a bad-ass and accepted into the pantheon! :)

Oh, and quick lil' update everyone. I recently added the appearances of the 5 Monarchs, so if you're interested, you can check it out

12-19-2013, 03:44 AM
And Lestari, I find it slightly ironic that your character hates illusionists, since your faction leader (even though you're not loyal to her) is the master of illusions XD

12-19-2013, 03:45 AM
I just have one request, Lestari...can you keep the cursing to a minimum? It's a bit excessive...

Vælling
12-19-2013, 03:51 AM
Can't really do that, CatandtheBat. Jag is just kind of profane, so all the cursing is in the interests of staying true to her character. If the GM feels it necessary, I guess I won't have much choice but to pay heed to it, but this RP is in the mature section, after all.

RedKayne
12-19-2013, 04:03 AM
I would advise listening to cat's request, Lestari, she is a co-gm after all. I really do enjoy your character's persona, and even though I want everybody to have fun, I rather not have anybody get uncomfortable if anything gets excessive, especially one of my co-gms.

12-19-2013, 04:34 AM
Thank you, Lestari. I truly appreciate it. You are an excellent writer, it's just that you were already cursing in your post before the actual CS, then your CS has quite a few...I understand your character having that kind of attitude and it being in the dialogue--though not every other word, as the rules state--but it isn't necessary to have it in the CS, even if you are trying to express your character's personality through the description.

@ Elizabeth: It's a cool picture! And I don't think it's that big... :P

Can't believe how quickly this RP filled!

12-19-2013, 05:04 AM
I like to actually inflect the character's behaviour and persona in the profile and in the text itself, rather than purely in the dialogue, but... yeap, like I said, I'll keep a lid on it.

Name: Masecha

Gender: Male

Age: Ancient

Appearance: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9fol0vEcC1rbp6d1o1_500.jpg
http://th04.deviantart.net/fs43/300W/f/2009/142/e/e/eea65ce88b32f6bbf306d7a81d120ef4.jpg

God/Goddess of: God of the Heart

Faction: Neutral (resides under Balance)

Powers: He possesses the power to tamper with the feelings of the heart. Everyone has heard the saying, 'follow your heart' but as most know, the heart can often be misguiding. He is the evaluator of the heart. He is able to sense the motives of one's heart, and once he knows what it is driving this person, he will put it to the test. He will afflict it with temptation or infatuation and see whether the heart gives in to these feelings or stays strong to the path it is pursuing. It cannot physically harm a person and it cannot make a person do anything. It simply creates a strong distraction that has the potential to lead someone astray or cause them to stagger. Either you overcome it yourself, or he can lift it off of you.
He can change from his child to his adult state or vice versa at will.

Weapons: http://www.edgesofreality.com/image_manager/attributes/image/image_4/41962939_9670106_full.jpg

Personality: His two embodiments represent the two forms of one's heart. His child form represents naivety and ignorance. In this state, he is playful and energetic. He displays himself as a child that has no boundaries: a sort of troublesome innocence.
In his adult state, he is composed and calm, keeping an air of seriousness about him. Here, he is much more controlled.
Overall, he has a very curious personality. Others fascinate him very much and he can't help but try to figure them out. He is not driven by power or any other thing of the sort. He follows his own rules and prefers to live on his own terms. He is cautious about actually making friends with others, but he is not against the idea. The way he will act towards another will usually depend on which of his states he is in when he meets you. He's not one to fight unless it is inevitable.

Background: Masecha is an ancient god, but a lesser known one as well, ignored mostly by the others. His origins trace back to Eden itself. In all the time he's been around, he has not risen to any major point of power. He used to be a servant of judgment, but those times are long gone. His role has been forgotten in most minds, if it is remembered at all. He holds no hate for any of the factions, nor any liking to a particular one. Staying back in the shadows was always what he did best.

Although he majorly resides in the Faction of Balance, he was never afraid to move the others. He was seen as a shadow, sometimes leaving without anyone having ever suspected that he was there. Toying with hearts as he went, he is very well known by some and completely nonexistent to others. Not being much of a threat to anyone, his presence is mostly ignored.

Learning of the king's demise, the sudden urge to climb to the top did not reach him. He has no use for any type of ruling position over factions that he had simply lived alongside. Falling to earth was a little different. Although he is a little surprised by the sudden happening and wished greatly to return home, he finds it quite interesting and feels oddly connected to the humans that reside there. Even more than that though, he sensed the changes within the hearts of the others who had fallen as well. At the realization of their new motives, he simply smiled and thought, "How quaint. This ought to be entertaining..."

I've got a question, actually. A lot of the deities have powers that involve fuc-- er, messing with other people's thoughts/emotions, or gaining knowledge of other people's thoughts/emotions. This seems like it'll make it difficult for these deities to avoid god-modding/meta-gaming, as those are both more or less implicit in their very powers. Are we assuming everybody's powers have dwindled such that they can no longer use their powers to a god-modding/meta-gaming extent, or perhaps they're not as effective against other deities, or do we just get the full of it?

ElizabethStark
12-19-2013, 08:40 AM
Ugh. That really bothers me that most of these characters have similar emotional abilities, including my own character... I'm probably just going to change her power.

Lestari does have a point now that I think on it...

I see no problem with their abilities. That is where being creative comes in handy. Throw a car at them shoot a bullet. They cant screw with you if their to busy having to run or dodge. It wil be easy to monitor god modding to. Between me, cat and Kayne I think everything will be fine.

12-19-2013, 04:34 PM
I think everyone's powers are actually quite varied. There are a just a couple that are related, but still unique.

Just don't make yourself immune to everything, let yourself be hit every now and then, and--when it comes to using your own powers--have limits.

For example, Jaslyn's illusions work best on the weak-minded. Dieties tend to be anything but, and many humans would see through them as well.

Lanaei can kill or give life with just a touch, but each act weakens her and she is limited by her own emotional and mental state, which is dependent on the season.

Et cetera.

TheDoctor
12-19-2013, 04:47 PM
I mean I think that we are assuming that using these crazy-ass mind powers on deities will usually be rather ineffective

☆Catwoman☆
12-19-2013, 05:02 PM
Yeah, it makes a good distraction but don't expect it to last long XD

Jaslyn's is most effective if the victim doesn't realize she has put an illusion over them. It can be extremely subtle or blatantly obvious...like, a swarm of scantily clad women walk up to you on the street and start fondling you or something. Like a bloody axe commercial. :P

So how long does it take someone of his age to recover from a broken collar bone? As Ryan Reynolds would say, at that age you're made of "rubber and magic". The doctors thinking he'll bounce back pretty quick?

From what I understand, fractures heal quicker for kids compared to adults. I know one prime example, I fractured my ankle a little while back, and a found out some little kid received the same fracture around the same time. However, he was able to recover twice as fast as me... which made me a little bitter lol.

And look at the bright side, at least there are several of us in Balance, which isn't evil! I mean, Jaslyn is usually more likely to kill someone than help them, but that doesn't make her evil, does it? XD

Plus, we have common goals, so she'll make an exception. :P

Name: Danero

Gender: male

Age: He doesn't bother to count. It's way to exhausting and a waste of energy.

Appearance: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8a/a8/7b/8aa87b421b2b1df992ca4dbcb92712ce.jpg He has red hair that is looking like an elegant mess, most of the time, since he doesn't really bother to fuss about it. Unlike the picture his eyes are bright yellow, and has a shine to them, making it look like they glow slightly in the dark. He mostly wears black, usually with along with a white T-shirt. He is most fascinated by the human world, and likes the way they dress, thus his style has been close to theirs for centuries. He looks like a guy in his mid twenties

God of: Iron/metal/the art of forgery

Faction: Pain

Powers: Danero has the power to control iron of all sorts, thus in the old times making people believe he was god of forgery, making smiths pray to him and forge his symbol into weapons for good luck. He hated to be confused with a god this primal, but non the less, he learned to cope. His powers allow him to control and bend iron of all sorts, meaning he can take iron from the blood of a human, from the inside of a rock, or even from the small hairy things you can find if you put a magnet close to the sand. However, after his fall, he is only able to control five things at the size of a knife, or two things at the size of a table. If he concentrates though, he could probably throw a car, but it would drain him of energy as well, so he would rather not.

Weapons: he is too cocky to wear a weapon, since he is confident in the human dependence of iron and any other forms of metal

Personality: He is a most lazy person, who would rather safe energy than waste it on pointless chasing around after some stupid throne. Even though he don't look it, he thinks a great deal about stuff and different happenstances, though this does not go for other beings. He is as cocky as he is lazy, and find most other beings to be highly incapable, so he would rather waste his time speaking to a rock than speaking to another being. If others speak to him though, he will answer, but mostly because it takes less energy to answer a person, than to fight off an offended thug.
He is easily annoyed though, but won't bother with being angry so he will most often not end up yelling or raging on another person, unless this other person is really persistent.

Background: Danero was never really good with the other gods of his faction. He was too arrogant and self-confident, and on top of that, he didn't bother to talk to any of the others unless they talked to him first. So he spent more and more of his time observing the human realm. He was curious to how they were such an ever changing species, and he found it entertaining how wars would so easily escalate from the essence of mere greed and other temptations.
But, curiosity killed the cat, as they say, and as he looked closer and closer to this new world, something mysterious happened. Every realm would shake, as a quake and threw him off his high horse and onto the planet he for so long had spied on. The king of gods had died, and now they were all fighting over who should be king. And lost and confused on this little planet was now an unknown amount of gods. Curious, how some things turn out.


I hope this works, I'm not used to that experienced rp'ers before, so I hope it's satisfying :)

12-20-2013, 09:40 PM

Name: Durga
Gender: Male
Age: Very Old
Appearance: Unlike many of the gods that call the White City their home, Durga, known across the realms as “The Fortress” is far from radiant or untarnished.

The Fortress is perhaps, physically speaking, the most ordinary looking of the gods of Order. He appears most often in the form of a middle-aged Caucasian male, standing little over six feet in height. His hair is dark and messy, just passing the nape of his neck. He is normally seen with a perpetual five-o’clock shadow, and his chocolate colored eyes are sunken and tired looking. Durga’s body is the epitome of sturdiness, with sharp angular features, long formidable limbs, and a bevy of war-scarred muscles.

Perhaps his most notable features are his slow gait and fatherly smile, as if experiencing pride for each and every moment that passes.

God of: Peace, Protection, and Martyrdom
Faction: Order
Powers: During the height of his godliness, Durga was said to be untouchable in battle, though he was often recorded as despising the act of combat itself. Those who fought under his command did so with an uncanny confidence, driven to the extreme by the sudden upwelling desire to protect all that was precious to them. Although they would sustain wounds that would put even a god into torpor, they found themselves unscathed and fresh after every skirmish.

Durga has the power to take people into his charge, and protect them from wounds and fatigue, choosing instead to shoulder their burdens himself. After his fall, Durga’s powers have not changed, though they have become altogether more threatening for the now mortal deity. His once unceasing body is subject to more damage than ever, and even with his incredible strength and stamina, far beyond the capacity of all but a few gods, Durga can only sustain so much before passing out or worse.

Although Durga can take as many people into his charge as he so desires, as he has always been able to do, his power now diminishes by half with each new recipient. For instance, if Durga is protecting one person, he will absorb all of the damage they take. If he is protecting two people, he will take only half of the damage each of them might sustain.

Another power Durga has discovered since becoming mortal is that he can now take on the illnesses (something that gods were never subject to) of others, curing them in the process so long as he rides out the effects himself. Even fatal diseases can be cured this way, though the damage Durga sustains is mostly untested.

The sturdiness of Durga’s body is directly proportional to the desires of the people he is protecting. He will be truly powerful only when he becomes another’s strength. The less the person he is protecting is relying on him, the less effective he will be as their shield.

Weapons: Durga abhors the use of weapons or violence, but will normally result to his fists when forced to defend others, as he can become so powerful that most weapons will break under his powerful blows.

Personality: Perhaps more than any other, Durga understands that peace is something that comes only from sacrifice. The world, even the world of the gods, if full of torment and strife, and there is no way to ever eradicate it. In many ways, he more resembles a God of Balance, but his unwavering optimism and powers of faith have aligned him with the Gods of Order. Instead, Durga has taken it upon himself to become a wall for those weaker than him, protecting them from the darkness of the world so that at least they can experience peace.

In this way, Durga’s personality is beautifully simple and entirely set in stone. He seems to harbour respect for all beings, and accepts the flaws inherent in the forces of Chaos and Pain as easily as in his own comrades. He wishes them no harm, but must protect those that they seek to harm. He is content with his role in the divine order, and looks upon the peaceful without envy. Durga is happy so long as others are happy, and will be strong so long as they rely on him to protect him.

Yet even the seemingly perfectly content Durga harbours a deep fear that he is only weakening those he protects. He fears that by shouldering the burdens of others, he is merely making them a bigger target for those that seek to harm them. When death finally comes for him, as if it comes for everyone, will he have done a greater injustice in the long run? It is a moral dilemma that haunts him more the older he grows, and the closer he comes to his end. His only solace is in the smiles of those he helps.

Background: Durga is quite old, even by godly standards, placed into the far end of the middle category with the gods directly related to concepts, as opposed to the oft more ancient gods that reside over nature and the cosmos, and the much younger gods that represent the burgeoning desires of mankind. Durga himself was originally just a God of Peace, born and bred from the natural quelling in the rise and fall of the universe’s conflicts. He acquired the domains of Protection and Martyrdom only after coming to a great understanding, when he realized that the extent of a naturally achieved peace would never be long-lasting enough, and that he would have to protect and prolong it wherever and whenever possible.

His desire to protect others and cultivate prosperity has made him revered among the Gods of Order, and he has served as the great defender of the White City for countless eons. His amiable personality and age make him well respected among the Gods of Wisdom, though he is too set in his ways and regarded as boring by most of them. The Gods of Balance tend to respect and appreciate his origins among them, but view his will to enforce an unnatural peace to be backwards and dangerous.

The Gods of Pain often take their regard of him to the extreme, as his impact on their desires varies depending on their Goals. For some, they might ask “What is the difference between causing pain to a weakling and causing the same pain to the God of Martyrdom?” Perhaps it is somewhat less instantly gratifying than watching a weakling squirm, but the inherent glee to be able to wear away at the very personification of peace is certainly enjoyable in its own way. Others regard him as their worst enemy, as if he were created simply to be their equal and opposite reaction, designed to squeeze every last ounce of fun out of their endlessly long lives.

The Gods of Chaos need only know that he is their enemy, and a dangerous one at that, even if he is too cowardly to take the fight to their doorstep.

@Cat, please please do not judge us all by TopGear! XD And they said he should be feeling better within a couple of weeks. At David's age, their bones apparently haven't completely solidified yet so they do heal a lot quicker. He's to stay on constant painkillers for the next couple of days, then just as and when required and he has to go back to the hospital just after New Year for a little check up.

Hmm...

A Durga vs Jag fight's gotta happen at some point in the RP. The Fortress versus the... uh... well, I didn't really take the time to think up a spiffy nickname for Jag, but dammit it'd be some fun shit either way!

@ Chihana: Its perfectly fine, I understand. I'm sure most of us are willing to help you out any way we can :D

Haha, don't worry, Amber, I take everything on Top Gear with a grain of salt :P Though it's not like they're biased or anything >.>

Panda, I agree with Kayne. Brilliant character indeed. Even Jaslyn will find it difficult to despise him.

RedKayne
12-21-2013, 03:16 AM
I feel like Zypher and Durga should have a past history together. Perhaps Durga was his commanding officer before the young god went off to battle in Carceri? Or Durga could be one of the benevolent gods that rescued Zypher from Carcari? What are your thoughts, panda?

Pandalash
12-21-2013, 03:43 AM
I agree that they should have a past together. Hmm.

I had thought of mentioning Durga as something of a trainer of young gods, but training other gods to go into battle kind of went against his character. I imagine if Luthious is the leader of the Order Gods, Durga is head of what is essentially the City Guard, and there's another God who's his equal but much more aggressive that's head of the army.

Durga showing up as a rescue makes sense though, since Luthious obviously saw something desperately worth protecting in Zypher, but sending in the head of the army or showing up himself would count as a serious military action and incite an immediate and most likely brutal retaliation. Durga on the other hand is the kind of guy that would keep casualties to a minimum. That, and the high-ranking Chaos Gods know immediately that trying to kill a no-name like Zypher (which I'm assuming he was at the time) wouldn't be worth crossing The Fortress.

What do you think? I'm not totally clear on the political situation of the realms.

Vælling
12-21-2013, 04:14 AM
If I may offer a suggestion of my own, that seems like something that could be applied to all the deities. I mean, they've all been around for quite a while-- I imagine some of them must have run into each other at some point or another at the least.

Anybody reckon it's worth discussing while we wait for other people to get profiles together and for the IC?

RedKayne
12-21-2013, 04:18 AM
Alright, I think what you came up with is pretty awesome. The Fortress rescues the young Zypher sounds like a plan for now.

I know I gave a minimal amount of information for this RP's lore, but I only did it to leave more room for creativity for the rest of you guys. And so far, I'm amazed what you and everybody else has come up with :)

- - - Updated - - -

And I agree Lestari, I'm sure there's been quite a few grudges and friendships that can be made with the amount of deities we have running about.

☆Catwoman☆
12-21-2013, 04:42 AM
Indeed. I figure that even though Jaslyn is a recluse who avoids company as much as possible, she is still familiar with the other gods in Balance. Masecha lived in Eden, and he likes to tamper with the feelings of the heart, so it wouldn't be surprising if he and Jaslyn had become acquainted over the centuries. His personality--particularly as a child--probably irritates her, but I think she could have a sort of quiet respect for his abilities. What are your thoughts, Dizzy?

Arianwen might be a recognizable face but she was raised in Avesta, not Eden, so they probably never had reason to speak.

Was Lanaei of Eden, or elsewhere in Avesta?

enaz
12-21-2013, 05:02 AM
I feel as though all of the older gods would at least know each other on a somewhat familiar level. They've been around so long they wouldn't really but have a choice but to know each other.

TheDoctor
12-21-2013, 05:52 AM
Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Vantas is gonna enjoy giving lectures of freedom to some of these gods, I can tell right now

Vælling
12-21-2013, 06:06 AM
I figure it's probably inconceivable Jag has ever had even remotely cordial relations with any deity (at least, not for long before she decided to try and kill them as well), so at a guess I'd reckon any opinions of her are gonna be in the negative for sure.

enaz
12-21-2013, 06:13 AM
Nah I don't think so. Iphos takes interest in different beings so maybe he took a interest in her and they became acquaintances. Since he was the god of time and space even if she had tried to kill him all attempts would've been unsuccessful so they just got along somewhat.

Vælling
12-21-2013, 06:20 AM
Nah, it would probably work out more like this:

/Iphos takes interest in Jag, Jag tries to kill Iphos, Iphos fucks with every attempt

Iphos: lel jag u mad br0 let's be buddies

Jag: Fuck you, I'm gonna go kill someone else. Goddamn time gods.

... which strikes me as about as close to a friendly conversation Jag's ever gonna get, now that I think of it. Who knew.

enaz
12-21-2013, 06:24 AM
That's pretty funny. Now that I think about it is like that to have happened in their past. It would definately give them a reason to fight on earth since Iphos no longer has his time powers.

I actually wouldn't mind if mostof the gods had grudges against Iphos for constantly involving them in his experiments or situations to enjoy himself so he could be entertained

Pandalash
12-21-2013, 06:24 AM
My character likes pretty much everybody, so there you go.

The most negative thing you'll get out of him is a light scolding and a headache.

TheDoctor
12-21-2013, 06:40 AM
Well, he doesn't like them Chaos folk, like moi

Scottie
12-21-2013, 12:01 PM
@theCat I think Eden would have been the place for Lanaei , I think Jaslyn and Lanaei would have known of each other...maybe not fond of each other but she would have respect Jaslyn at the very least

I think its a really good idea that the Gods and Goddesses would know of each other and maybe better if they were in the same faction. There could be underlying friendship or respect or on the other hand complete hatred of each other

☆Catwoman☆
12-21-2013, 03:30 PM
Alright then, so they would probably be on a first name basis, figuratively speaking...Jaslyn wouldn't like Lanaei during her overly nurturing Spring and Summer personality, but might have been amused by her in her coldhearted Autumn and Winter personality. Of course, Lanaei doesn't like anyone during that time. But a slow respect might have built up over time until Jaslyn learned to tolerate her even during her motherly months. Call them "acquaintances". :P

Scottie
12-21-2013, 06:09 PM
Yeah I can see that XD
There is a mutual respect there especially with Jaslyn's love of animals :)

It would mean that she would recognise you and if Lanaei is in her Spring or Summer transition, she would know to want Jaslyn on her side XD

Oh that will be interesting, depending on what season she is dropped into. :P

☆Catwoman☆
12-22-2013, 01:42 AM
Heh, yeah, and whatever season you are dropped into, you might be in for a while, so here's hoping it is Spring or Summer! :P

Alright, the IC will be up soon! I will try to get it up in the next couple hours! If not, I can guarantee it will be up tomorrow. :D

All of our characters will be separated into 3 main groups. I will GM group A and B, while enaz will GM Group C. The details of the members and the locations of their landings will be listed below.

Group A - America

Zypher - Lands in a meadow
Jaslyn - Lands in a beach
Spero - Lands in a forest
Danero - Lands in the center of a small town

Group B - England/Europe

Lenaei - crashes into an old, abandoned castle
Arianwen - lands on a grass clearing full of sheep and their shepherd
Masecha - lands next to a river
Durga - lands on meadow near the outskirts outskirts of London


Group C - Russia (enaz will give details for your landings)

Epos Gushion
Vantas
Jag

☆Catwoman☆
12-22-2013, 04:18 AM
Sounds good :)

...should I assume this beach is not crowded at the time of Jaslyn's landing? And is it a specific beach?

RedKayne
12-22-2013, 04:41 AM
The IC (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=53343)is now up! Go crazy people!

During my IC post, I mentioned that its around midnight, so practically everything in America is empty right now, including your non-specific beach, cat. And that it is currently summer (so Lanaei is a nice person right now :P). However, in Europe, its the middle of the day.

Its your decision overall whether or not people are at the location of your fall.

By the way, group members will have land around the same, general proximity of their fellow members. So expect to find each other pretty quickly :)

Did my post. Hopefully there ain't too much swearing-- there had to be some, because... well, you try crash-landing into a mountain and clawing your way out of the rubble and then we'll see what kind of words you have to say :v

Naw, seriously, she's just pissed and confused right now, which hopefully makes the swear words permissible if they are indeed too much. There'll probably be less in the posts to come.

I'm just more concerned with keeping the OOC relatively clean.

Okay guys, I made a post and whatnot.

Just let me know if something I posted doesn't gel with what you guys had in mind, and I'll change it.

Also, I know absolutely nothing about London or how it works, so expect some inaccuracies there.

Scottie

See how for Group B are we all landing in England or are we dotted all around Europe?

Like does Lanaeri land anywhere near the other fallen?

RedKayne
12-22-2013, 06:39 PM
Everybody has so far made great into posts! Good job :D

@ Chihana: you seemed to have made a slight error. I listed that Danero lands in the center of the town, but it looks like you mixed up the location with cat's character. However, we can easily work around this and you don't have to edit a thing, as long as Cat is okay having her character landing inside of the town instead. But, if she has already put in a lot of work into her intro post, then that's when you will probably have to fix the error. Its your decision right now it you want to fix it right now, or wait for cat's reply.

@ ScottishGal: Yes. I mentioned a little earlier that the groups will land around the same general area, so you will be near your fellow members. I didn't specify which exact castle, so you can get as creative as you want here. You can make it a popular tourist attraction that's a crowded right now, or an empty castle long forgotten.

Oh yeah, Pandalash, referencing on what you said earlier, don't worry about being inaccurate with Europe, I'm not that picky. And to be honest, I only have minor experience with the UK. My family and I traveled all over it for a few weeks, including places like London, Bath, and Stonehenge. And I also placed ScottishGirl and AmberRose in your group for a reason, because they have much more experience with the UK than I do, and hopefully they will help out with anything that is inaccurate (sorry for putting you two girls on the spot :P ).

@Dizzy: Well, specifically it would land near the Thames river, which is in the general proximity of London. Since the river also flows through London, its your choice whether you want to land in the city or in the outskirts on a grassy plain of some sort or something like that.

I think she is the type to find out what is the cause of the explosion. *shrugs* Oh well, that's just me, what do I know? XD

Darn you and your correctness -_-

Yeah I've got her sprinting into the city... may have made it a shorter distance *whistles nonchalantly*

But its more how does she stop her unless... hmmm :S

12-26-2013, 08:00 PM
Hmm.. sounds like you're already forming a plan?

And to be honest, if you want to blame someone about battling the Goddess of Destruction, don't blame me, blame Pandalash :P

I honestly only came up with the idea ever since he made an IC post about how some god was slain in mid-fall. And then I was like... *evils*

You better get your arse over to help Lanaei soon then -_-

Hey, I'm so sorry but Christmas has been insane her with the wee man and I really haven't had a chance to get on at all since Xmas Eve. I'll get an initial post up tomorrow morning. Would do it tonight but it's three in the morning and I can't focus very well. Just wanted to let you know so you don't think I've dropped out. XD

O_O OHMIGOD JASLYN HAS A TWIN!!

*snickers* seriously, Kayne, look at the pic you used and compare it to the one of my goddess in my CS >.>

LOL! XD

Granted, my pic is way hotter. F_F

Wow... I can't believe I didn't notice the similarities before...

And you just had to open your big mouth, huh, cat? -furious-

I'm sure nobody else would have noticed!

☆Catwoman☆
12-27-2013, 04:34 AM
Heh... >.>

I have to say though, it makes me wonder what she is from...a game, a book, or what?

By the way, I suppose at this point I am waiting for Zypher to stumble across Jaslyn.

RedKayne
12-27-2013, 04:39 AM
Yes, that is correct. I'm also waiting for Stark to make her post also. Hopefully she can make a post in the next day or two.

☆Catwoman☆
12-27-2013, 04:46 AM
Indeed. She has been gone for a while.

She didn't say anything about being gone this long. The last thing I heard from her about an absence was on the 20th when she said she'd be at a friend's house and might not post until the 22nd or 23rd...but she started posting again on the 22nd. Haven't heard from her since then though.

☆Catwoman☆
12-27-2013, 05:07 AM
Well, never heard of it before but the pic for my goddess (and apparently the goddess of destruction >.>) is Tyris Flare from some game called Golden Axe...

Scottie
12-27-2013, 10:43 AM
@TheCat

I NOTICED... I swear I did

I read Red's post and then skipped back to OOC to make sure as I was certain they were the same person, tho I couldn't see your picture again.

I was certain that Jasyln had wings in her photo D:

☆Catwoman☆
12-27-2013, 03:24 PM
Woohoo, bonus points to Scottie! XD

Heh, nope, no wings, just some awesome sword covered in blood :P

What tipped me off in the one Kayne posted was actually the outfit. You don't see red clothes with bone-reinforcement very often.

Hope you're doing well and had a good holiday :)

12-29-2013, 02:28 AM
I was about to say I think it'd be cool if Abbadon and Jag had a history of alternating alliance and rivalry-- like, every now and then, they'll be like 'hey, let's go fuck some shit up' and go off and start warring on everybody else together, and then they'll get bored and be like 'eh, screw you' and start fighting each other over who's the greater deity of general violence.

Then I realised Abbadon's half a globe away from Jag anyway. Alas.

☆Catwoman☆
12-29-2013, 02:03 PM
Been slow in here...

Yeah, we're waiting on quite a few people to post.

I'll get mine later on today to get things moving a bit again.

12-29-2013, 07:40 PM
Well. I can't resist any longer. I finally made a few changes to one of my characters (some of you will be familiar with her) and all I need to do is fill out the sheet. :)

Name: Nirvana. (Yes some of you know her)
Gender: Female
Age: younger than everyone else
Appearance: http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv235/BloodStreakedMoon/Anime%20Girls/black.jpg
Her hair tends to tangle up and her eyes often tend to shift in color but are always between blue and grey. Her skin is bright and full of life and she just looks young. Even if she were to age it'd be rather slow outwardly. Overall she looks like a twenty year old young woman and is rather cute instead of attractive
God/Goddess of: inner peace, motherhood. New life, And cats
Faction: balance
Powers: nirvana is a calming presence and a point of center. Her presence seems to be one of a cool and clean spirit she has not only the ability to pacify anger and contention she can also act as a mother to literally anything that breathes. Her only other powers are an innate knowledge of the needs of any child regardless of age (up to adulthood) and the ability to call on cats and kittens when she needs then as a goddess of new life she can bring some new life into existence but it can't be against nature and it can't be entirely strange to humans as well as it will take the full time to grow (which differs by size )

Combat powers
Cat Mode. A form made more for sneaking than for fighting Nivrana's cat mode is cute rather than fearsome. In this form Nirvana shrinks down to about a foot shorter than her normal already short height, and then she gains some cat features. These are a tail, ears, eyes, and claws, nirvana also grows some fur in various places on her body(the fur is usually black or spotted like a shorthair cat)

Momma Bear. This is the one form that no one EVER wants to see Nirvana go into. This form is literally a cross between Cat Mode, and a VERY angry momma black bear. In this form Nirvana grows about a foot and her entire body changes from a human form to a beast that looks like a cat and a bear hooked up and made babies, needless to say this form is both agile and strong, but it is still afraid of water and distracted by shiny things and will back down if the thing that made Nirvana angry enough to change into this form is either dead or it backs off.

Weapons: Heckler and Koch P30 V3 pistol

http://truthaboutguns-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P30-courtesy-hk-usa.com_.jpg
The H&K P30 is the latest incarnation of the German gunmaker's highly reliable DA/SA hammer fired pistol (not to say they did build striker fired heck the made the first polymer striker fired twelve years before GLOCK did)
The one Nirvana has is the 9x19mm variant and it holds 15 rounds in its detachable box magazine.


Personality: Nirvana while not an aggressive or warlike goddess has a strong spirit but is also very compassionate and empathetic. She is of the belief that man is what man is and only man can truly know what that is. However she still finds them interesting and thinks they have some very good ideas. (Like maternity leave) and they only need to find the right way. She personally likes the idea of humanity and the humility it could give a god if only they could feel age and death. But she doesn't like them destroying themselves either. As for gods.. She takes them as they come. Some she liked others she hates. It's all a balance for her

On a side note it should be warned that to piss her off. If indeed one can do that. Is to accept inevitable death at worst and injury at best. She is a true terror when enraged and armed.

Background: nirvana is a young god and had net really done as much as the others. But what she has done. Is worth praise in its own forms. Nirvana has been the silent voice of reason in humanity often halting many wars long before they could start. And when she and the god of peace have worked together miracles have been preformed. It was the two working together that caused the Christmas Day truce furring the First World War and it was her that whispered in the ear of the emperor of Japan to get him to surrender before more atom bombs could be dropped. She has worked her entire life to keep balance and peace...


Sorry for the cheese factor and I hope it's ok.

RedKayne
12-29-2013, 11:45 PM
Alright, she is accepted Derp. Welcome aboard :)

In case you didn't know, the characters have been separated into 3 main groups. Your character will be placed in group B, they will be traveling around England/Europe.

The current situation for Group B is that London is being terrorized by the Goddess of Destruction, Abbadon. It is up to them to stop the Chaos Goddess and save the city. I highly suggest reading the IC over if you haven't already, just to understand the plot a bit more, and also since its a great read!

You can go ahead and make your intro post. Once you do so, I should be able to do, I will make a post for both groups A and B.

Name: Evilen (Evilllleaannn is the pronunciation)
Gender: Female
Age: 19 to humans but in the world of gods 130
Appearance: (Picture with a bit a description is preferred http://s421.photobucket.com/user/nekochan_09/media/anime/goddess-2.jpg.html Beatiful and radiant like the sun her skin had always shined off her skin. She seemed down to earth and people would call her mother nature at times for her looks.
Goddess of: Spirit
Faction: Wisdom
Powers: (Please write at least a paragraph describing your powers) She has the powers to heal the spiritually wounded. To free the hurt and anger from someone. Say someone is mourning the death of a cherished loved one, with one touch by her hand she can make the hurt anger and loneliness go away with a touch. She helps free minds and when she so chooses she can make someone see the truth and not be blinded by anything.
Weapons: Her hands and white bladed daggers. One dagger for each hand.
Personality: (Please write at least a paragraph) She seems calm by nature. She feels the spirits and personalities from anyone and anything. She is blessed and glows like a ray of sunshine. Although the downfall to herself is she must always feel loneliness and emptiness. A curse passed down from her father.
Background: (Please write at least a paragraph Her father had lost a deal a long time ago and since then her curse was to be alone and empty. Her father and moths had passed leaving her to learn for herself the cold truths about life. Setting out she always traveled hoping to fill the emptiness she had felt for so long. Who ever she met who was in sorrow she would help and leave that place the next day in fear someone would realize who and what she was. She knew she was a goddess but didnt know much about other gods or goddesses. She felt she had a search of her destiny.

RedKayne
12-30-2013, 03:43 AM
Your character is pretty much good to go, BrandyBreak.

However, could you please elaborate why she is such a young goddess? Especially for a timeless concept such as spirit?

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 04:29 AM
And also now you literally just made Nirvana younger than 19. Which renders her background useless..

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 04:34 AM
Barring that little issue should I just stumble into London lost and confused and surrounded by cats or should I jump into the fray and go at it?

☆Catwoman☆
12-30-2013, 04:35 AM
I would also like to point out that Derp and Brandy's characters might be more at home in the factions of Order or Wisdom...especially considering we already have several in Balance.

BrandyBreak
12-30-2013, 04:36 AM
She is timeless stuck at that age. She doesnt get older and she doesnt get younger. She has been stuck at her age for a very very long time

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 04:39 AM
That doesn't make much sense.unless you believe in resurrection of the dead.

- - - Updated - - -

Also I know catbat but seeing as I also made the goddess of motherhood.I'm k
Limited.

RedKayne
12-30-2013, 04:52 AM
Hey Derp, I appreciate if you don't call anybody out in this RP. Leave that to the job of the GM or one of the Co-GMs. I rather not have any arguments started in this one.

BrandyBreak, alright, so she basically has been able to retain her youthful appearance like the rest of the gods, that's a bit more understandable. What I normally would like to see in a character sheet is the entity's true age, and what their appearance resembles to that of a human. If you could please edit in that she has existed for a long time, but appears to be a 19-year old human female, you're golden.

And I also agree with cat. I'm not going to force anybody to change their faction, but I recommend you two thinking it over to changing into a different faction just for the sake of variety. However, I do understand if you're 100 percent sure with your choice of faction and stick with it.

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 04:54 AM
Ok. I'll tone it down then. And I'm sure since my character isn't exactly built to fight anything. She's a calming presence and a peacekeeper.

BrandyBreak
12-30-2013, 04:55 AM
better?

RedKayne
12-30-2013, 05:02 AM
BrandyBreak, that is still a bit relatively young. And like I said before, the spirit has been a concept existing for an extremely long time, its practically timeless.

It can work out, but I would need a bit more detailed elaboration as to why she is that young for an entity. Such as, the previous entity of Spirit was slain, and she recently gained the position. But then you would have to explain how and why her predecessor was slain.

It probably would work out better if she was quite older... at least 4 digits.

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 05:28 AM
After reading thought I'm still lost.. sorry.

☆Catwoman☆
12-30-2013, 05:52 AM
If you are referring to Kayne's last post, he is saying that for Brandy's character to be the goddess of the spirit, she needs to have either been around for eons--as the spirit has--or to have recently replaced the previous goddess of the spirit, thus explaining her youth.

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 05:55 AM
Oh no I'm talking about the IC sorry n

RedKayne
12-30-2013, 06:05 AM
What exactly are you lost about in the IC, Derp?

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 06:08 AM
Well after reading through it all I can't find a good way to enter without actually haveing to break character and start fighting.

RedKayne
12-30-2013, 06:11 AM
Here's my suggestion. Have your god fall near the battle. Have her fall pretty close to Abbadon, which should startle her enough to stop her attack and give Lanaei a chance to escape. That way, you are officially a part of the fray, but not breaking out of character

Derpnaster
12-30-2013, 06:15 AM
Alright. Time to bring on the pain.

Elizabeth has been extremely busy lately so I don't know when she'll be able to post...then we are just waiting on Chihana to post again, I assume, before you do another Group A post, right Kayne?

RedKayne
12-30-2013, 10:28 PM
I probably might make a post for you sooner, cat, probably tonight in fact. And I will also have a response for Group B also.

Along with Stark, we may have lost Pandalash and AmberRose. They have yet to post for a long while now.

☆Catwoman☆
12-30-2013, 10:58 PM
I know Amber has been on, but I don't know why she never posted in the IC...I sent her a PM asking if she was still in. Panda I have no idea about...hasn't been on since Xmas Eve, no posts about being gone, no warning...

^---stalker status...

Ok, Amber is still in and should be returning shortly :P

RedKayne
12-31-2013, 01:49 AM
Awesome! Because Group B seriously needs someone to fight off Abbadon XD

Right now, the three gods against her aren't going to last so long without any true offensive powers

12-31-2013, 01:52 AM
I could summon a horde of cats if needed.

AmberRose
12-31-2013, 01:53 AM
Cats again Derp?!? Kayne, I've said to Cat that I'll try get a post up ASAP but there's quite a lot in the IC already so it's gonna take me a while to get up to date. Aiming for tomorrow night.

Derpnaster
12-31-2013, 02:20 AM
Well I kinda made the goddess of cats. And that many dead cats would just piss her off to the point of killing whoever killed her cats.but I see your point. Just play dead and it'll be fine.
