While I wasn't expecting an issue I'll agree his is more powerful than the other gods, but from what I understood that was the point of a forerunner. It seemed to be a special position with more power that needed extra effort to get, however I would agree to tone things down if you all are truly worried about things getting out of hand. The plan was never to actually kill anyone, especially since killing PC's takes the fun away for everyone except the person doing the killing.

But I understand that even though I never planned on killing anyone, someone having the potential to do so even without the intention can be unsettling and so if you highlight exactly what bothers you the most I would be amenable to changing things. I've pinpointed what I think are some issues that may be causing this and some potential solutions.

7 Weapons - This is a central part of his character, and so I think that making the combined strength of all 7 being equal to one or two of the others gods weapons is a good way to tone down the potential power and make things less unsettling.

Him being Highborn - He technically isn't highborn, that status was taken from him when he was thrown, but I understand how I might have worded things that unintentionally made it seem as though he was. His power is supposed to be weakened, but it was never established how exactly powerful a forerunner was. I had assumed that because of their previous Highborn status they would hold some increased power over the others gods, but not as much as it seems he possesses. I'm sure we could agree on a power comparison.

My idea is 1.5 times up to maybe 3 times as powerful as a normal god, given that the 5 Highmore given in the OP ruled immense physical based domains with uber power, that most of that stripped away would be comparable to that, given that our gods mostly rule concept domains, with less power. And with the weapons, correct me if I'm wrong but a few of the are simply to do what we gods can easily do, for example traveling between realms or shapeshifting, or flight.

Yeah guys I'm out have fun in this thread.

Am I accepted? But first, any constructive criticism?

I'm actually not sure how to start off my first post

I was going to skip the judgement dude and send evil people to the pit and good people to heaven, provided there were killed by my diasters/weather.

If you think about it, everybody but myself and him have either a nation, or some near limitless army of useful minions, which theoretically means that it would be possible to overwhelm through shear numbers, and then strip of weapons. Also, we could do some compromise in terms place of residence or who gets thrown in the pit, etc.

Well you see, if everyone killed by disaster/weather goes to heaven or hell based on your gods decision and not mine, it takes a huge number of people out of the process of being judged by a God of Judgement. Those killed fall under the control of my God until they are sent either way.

Imo, I don't see anything any more or less OP than all the chars have by benefit of being Gods - with the exception of that one item claiming to be able to remove Godly blessings. I mean, the artifacts allow him to corrupt objects - but wouldn't a God of Corruption have a similar power anyhow? Compared to NCSU's app stating that his God has a means (or at least knows of a means) of enabling the apocalypse (sorry man, just pointing it out ). On a separate note, I was under the impression that Forerunner's were just supremely powerful mortals (perhaps able to go toe-to-toe with a God in extreme cases) rather than being more powerful than the Gods themselves. I mean, why would those cast down be allowed to keep so much power? Although, not OP, so not my call at the end of the day.

I really think you should talk to the OP Jorl (Even though he seemed to have vanished) before you make IC posts...

Shoot. Okay

Also, made an IC post with some notes. Is Amersil coastal or Inland?, and that said storm in post will not occur until closer to the actual judgment day of said city.

I did look over his app, and we did give Jolf 48 hours to look over his app he never responded, though I didn't see the can kill other gods part.

The "killing gods part" is really a summary of how powerful he is. 7 divine weapons, rules the Pits, and is a FORERUNNER.

As i said before, I would agree to set the limit that his 7 weapons combined equal 1 or 2 of the normal godly weapons. This would let him keep the meaning around having 7 while limiting the power.

He rules The Pit just like every other God has a realm, so there is nothing that he gains in power terms from it. Its a interesting Rping tool, not something that gives him power.

The fact that he is a Forerunner again doesn't mean he has more power, I was just under the impression that he would and so i made the character to be more powerful. If it would make people feel more comfortable playing with him, I would agree to lower his power as long as he retained the Rping aspect of being a forerunner which is more important that power levels.

I would love to pass this by the OP, but I would also like to post. Seeing as the OP has been away for what seems like a week now If i were to wait for him to return I would have to wait a long time before posting, and I would hate to be left behind.

+1 for what it's worth, I've enjoyed Drak's posts so far. If the power gets dropped a wee bit, could be a win win.

If you could do that weapon compromise, that'd be appreciated. Win-win.

I want a benevolent God, so I'm downsizing Akhez's power and making him a member of the Equilibrium - two gods (Akhezmadris and Aetherius) that duke it out all the time and represent opposite domains.


God Application
NS Name: Dalvius
God Name: Aetherius
Domains: Purity and Protection
Race of God: Newborn
Appearance: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spo ... 0422232027
Personality: As the second "Light" half of the Equilibrium Aetherius is widely accepted as among the most benevolent of the Newborn, compared to the "Dark" half of the Equilibrium Akhezmadris. His spheres revolve around purity and protection, and thus those who are said to have Aetherius blessing have their souls personally watched over by their god. He also has a particular aversion to the undead and the void. As a god of purity, the ultimate crime against Aetherius is a betrayal of his trust, which historically has been paid for in the complete and utter obliteration of those who transgress against him. Nevertheless, Aetherius is among the most watchful and protective of his followers and servants - the spheres he represents indicate him as unrelenting with an unchangeable law.

Parent: Time, like his "double" Akhezmadris.

Realm Name: Midnight
Realm Description: Midnight, also known as the Tempest Sphere is the realm of where the Night Drakes come from and was once ruled by Akhezmadris. Midnight is far less mentioned in the ideals of paradise on Koldenwelt - it is known as the paradise of the Nevá race, of which depicts Midnight as a verdant realm bathed in perpetual moonlight, illuminated by the flora of the realm itself. Midnight is a peaceful realm; the life within it is humble and independent, though, like Aetherius, capable of incredible furore and scorn if provoked.

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spo ... 1001191740
Divine Weapon: Aetherius' Catalyst
Description: An artifact created by Aetherius, the Catalyst is a conduit of noctomantic power that was given to those who were skilled in Night Magic. Owned by a vast number of champions who served Aetheriusnin the past, the last champion who wielded the Catalyst to its arguably greatest degree was Chiritan the Destroyer, a Nevá who served against Akhezmadris for hundreds of years. Following his death thousands of years ago, ownership of the Catalyst varied massively, eventually finding its way back to the Nevá. The Nevá crafted a sword, with the Catalyst artifact as the centrepiece, and placed it in a mostly uncharted part of the Black Ice Wastes.
