God's Name: Illyrio
God's Powers: Dreams and Hope
God's Divine Form: Illyrio's first and most common form is that of a great white dragon, his second and less common divine form is that of a young man with pale skin and raggedy, shaggy blonde hair. He wears simple clothes similar to that of a mortal peasant and his body is stained with spots of dirt, the young man looks starved and is always crying.
God's Mortal Form: He appears as the same image before mortals as he does the divine, however, his more human form appears to be well-fed, well-groomed, and in expensive clothing. Furthermore he has a pair of white, feathered wings on his back.
God's Bio: When sentient life came to be, Illyrio took form. He became warden over the hopes and dreams of sentient life, he was an observer to the ambition of life and what their minds were capable of manifesting. When Illyrio first took form he was like a child in a room full of new toys, full of wonderment and curiosity as he gleefully engrossed himself into this fantasy world created by the entirety of sentient life. He had little power as he was not worshipped, but he did not need power as he had no desire to affect the mortal world. Illyrio lived in his own world crafted from dreams that he was content to live in.
However, the dreams of mortals became dark and their hopes became desperation and the world Illyrio lived in transformed. It was the stuff of suffering and nightmares and with it Illyrio was changed. He grew depressed and mad at what had caused his world to crumble. Illyrio child-like glee turned to sadness when dreams of great works of art turned to hopes for a scrap of food. His world was destroyed and with this change of mind amongst the world he has came to realize his world was a lie. This troubled and conflicted God has now turned to affecting the mortal world in what ways he can out of a desperation to recreate his world, but it can never be the same now that he knows it is all a lie. Illyrio still has few worshipers, but with his recent method of interacting with mortals within their dream he has begun to plant the seed of devotion and with time he may be able to rise to power to challenge the other beings of divinity.

I am assuming not as my God likely seems weak to everyone else (and is weak), you can likely count the number of his living worshippers on your fingers and only recently as he taken to affecting the mortal world where as he has been around since sentient life was born, but doing nothing.

Okay, then I have my idea for my "home." One last question, has enough time passed int he mortal world that there would be ruins of cities and civilizations that fell or is too early for any such ruins?

God's Powers: Chaos
God's Divine Form: Varies; Ishtarte is rather formless but usually appears in female form.
God's Mortal Form: Varies; Ishtarte uses a number of mostly female avatars when visiting her followers in the mortal world. Common avatars are; Queen of AngelsThe Warrior, Mother of Demons
God's Bio: A young goddess Ishtarte was born to the god Deus and the demon Daimonia and she began her existence as a hybrid creature, neither god nor demon. Her parents had been antagonistic creatures for eons with their titanic struggle culminating with Daimonia's imprisonment in Deus's heavenly abode. There the demon temptress managed to seduce the orderly god and Ishtarte ultimately became the result.
After Daimonia had spread much discontent and caused much trouble in Deus's realm she eventually managed to effect her escape, and she fled to the plane of her demonic race, resolved to defeat her former spouse. It was at this time during the midst of the war between her parents that Ishtarte was born. In the climactic battle between her parents Daimonia was undone but Deus and with him his armies of angels had suffered great fatalities and the broken god soon faded from the memory of man.
On the demonic plane Ishtarte grew up, reared by various demon uncles in the realm of her mother. As she grew older the hybrid however decided to attain divinity for herself and she abandoned the demonic plane in search of her father's old realm. When she found it she rallied the remaining angels of her father to her side and set about ruling over them and establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with amongst the gods.
It was not long however before many of the angels realized that their new queen was more like her mother than her father and war broke out in Deus's kingdom.
Defeated Ishtarte none the less managed to obtain godhood and assemble a small gathering of followers in the mortal realm. She went with those angels still loyal to her into exile, back to the demonic plane. There she has now spent much time trying to establish herself as queen of all demons and mistress of Chaos which has kept her to busy to involve herself much with both the mortal and divine realm. Recently she has however begun a major campaign to establish herself among the mortals and has attracted quite a following around her message of hedonism and extreme individuality that has seen her powers rise disturbingly rapidly. Ishtarte is however not content and seek to grow to be one of the most powerful gods.

We could turn it into an analogy of demons = the Dark Ones, but that'd raise a whole tone of its own problems. I'll get back to you, but consider Chaos comfortably reserved.

Fair enough, I realize that what I propose is a bit of topic. Ishtarte is a character I have used in a previous God RP that ended too quickly, since I had gotten fond of her I wanted to give her a new life here, but if there needs to be some tweaking to make her fit I will do my best to do that.
One thing though; my application doesn't suggest that there was a general war between demons and gods but only that a particular god, Deus, and a particular demon, Daimonia, was at war so it would not necessarily have been some great war involving numerous gods it could just be a localized phenomena relating to no one but my goddess if that makes it more palatable.

RP Sample:
Shuddering, Nadia stretched a hand towards a stranger.
"A-any change sir?" she called, looking up hopefully. Her eyes met his, and she dropped her hand in shock. How could she let him see her like this, shaking in the rain, soaking wet, and begging in the streets? To him, she was a snarky student. Lowering her head in shame, she scooted back into her corner. What she didn't expect was a warm embrace and pity.

His realm is literally just a patch of ice in a frozen wasteland that has a small campfire that doesn't go out. However, it is filled with illusions that case those present to see their dream implanted into the location and made into a paradise. However, being that Illyrio has maybe five living worshippers, he isn't powerful. So a god who doesn't get to distracted by his own dreams should be able to detect it all as a lie and be able to dismiss the illusions. Does that sound alright?

Looks pretty good to me. Interesting to have another deity with a relationship with a mortal - always interesting how those end up being played out.

The Seven Archangels wrote:Okay, the demons conflicting with the Dark Ones isn't a problem, cause they don't. Demons and Dark Ones are quite a deal different as the Dark Ones are just anti-gods (opposite of normal gods in terms of nature, but still gods in their own right). As for the war, that probably happened during the first Pantheonic War (the only one we have on record atm), as else wise, Caelum would've put a stop to it real quickly when he was made Chief of the Pantheon at the time. That's the only real detail to consider.
Aside from that, just realize that you get one god, not three. That's all I have to say, aside from your app looking good.
Edit: And yes, I saw that you stated that the two gods were out of history, but that's just in case you decide to use them later on and are going to try and reserve those domains.

I am not asking for three gods only one. Ishtarte's father is a dead/defunct/retired/whatever God and he isn't coming back. Daimonia is even more dead and as I said she was a demon not a god in the first place. I app for one god; Ishtarte.
Glad that the demon thing won't be a problem.
EDIT: So am I accepted?

Far as I am concerned, you're golden and accepted, though Bentus outranks me.

This was a thing a while back, writing out a list of the Gods and your char's relationship with them. Never got around to doing it myself.
