As Gods Are We (OOC/Sign-Up/Semi-OPEN)

[Jorgamunn]

Hot damn. Y'all flooded the ooc in like 7 hours. Anyways, God o War is still reserved right? Imma app once i get home in about 6 hours or so.

[Tracian Empire]

So, mister OP, does a god of space exist? Or would that concept be accepted?

Space is free. What were you think of, though? Like the space between two planets or "space" meaning empty?

Just saw my character's title in the Pantheon...
Man, is it a railroad. I like it though.

Noticed that, huh? Best way I could think of it to get it all there.

Space like you know, space from space and time. I don't know how to say it. I met the concept in some other god RP's.

No, it's fine. As I mentioned, I like it. Maybe it could be darkness, instead of dark, but it would be even longer that way...

[Kinky Bastards]

So I and the Zoblus agreed that Yamah is Ba'al's daughter, but who wants to be her mother? Would it be a good idea to make a family tree of how the gods are connected to avoid confusion?

Someone mentioned gods drinking together on the last page. My godess might be up for parties from time to time.

Yeah... probably almost everything is taken. That's probably what I get for sleeping. Any ideas of something that wasn't yet claimed?

We could use a god Healing, a god of earth/mountains, a domestic god (like a god of agriculture), and a god of the hunt. You could also take ideas from the other god RP currently going on: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=348306

I have hunt as a sphere, and Baal has agriculture as one, so it should work, but I wouldn't mind another god of hunt.

[Norwegian Vinland]

Reserve god of lightning and thunder.

I think a god of war would have a hunting in his sphere i guess. Would it make sense?

I don't know. Maybe. I have killing in my sphere, but not war.

[Flamels Stone]

OP can I have 2 Gods?
I want to be the rock and mineral god too.

[Kinky Bastards]

Hot damn. Y'all flooded the ooc in like 7 hours. Anyways, God o War is still reserved right? Imma app once i get home in about 6 hours or so.

Could be several gods of war I suppose, if it's different aspects. For example, in Norse mythology Tyr was god of the fair fight, while Thor was god of the chaotic fight.

[The NAR]

Even more applicants. At this rate, we will have more gods than most -- if not all -- polytheistic religions.

Anyway...

Name: Zalaztoris Vortoga

Your application is... DENIED! I am glad to see you went with a more original route, but I still have some issue with your application. For starters, this is no creator god and, for the purposes of this role-play, I cannot allow there to be one. Mentioning others gods in yoour biography is okay since others have done that and we can always write it off as "god in the other dimension," but not a creator god.

My other issue is this: you do not seem to take your own core concept seriously. "Arbitrary rules I write on this towel," you say. If you are the god of these alleged virtues, maybe at least you should believe they are virtues.

Name: Alithia

What to say about this one? Your application is... DENIED for one reason: the core concept needs to be clear. The core concept is the root of all your powers and needs to be easily definable with no more than two or three words at absolute most (one is preferred) and this core needs to be reflected in your spheres of influence. Your application is written opposite. Switch your core and spheres and I will reconsider this one.

Also, consider switching the core concept to "knowledge" rather than the mind. That sounds like it is what you are talking about, anyway.

Time and space are inherently connected- spatial events affect time, and vice versa. Any event to occur in space will have a disturbance in the time-line, as well as cause another Big Bang, so more spatial repercussions. Any event in time is an event in space, so to be time is to control space, which is the premise of Cinn's sphere of influence.

I see the argument and conventional science supports it, but from the perspective of a god I do not think that would be true. At its essence, time is no more than a way to quantify experience and "space" is what we call absolute nothingness because all it is... is space! It is empty! Remove space and I can accept it as is, but I need a better argument for -- or explanation -- before I allow space.

Name: Titus

I want to accept this, I really do, but I cannot. Your application is... DENIED! Your spheres and core concepts need to be connected. Follow the link for the quote below to see a detailed explanation of the issue here.

--snip--

Name: L'Koth

There. Will this version work?

I still do not like how far the spheres stretch things, but as long as you keep it reasonable we can work with this. Your application is... ACCEPTED! Consider what I said before about broadly defined concepts being weaker than specific ones, though.

What do you mean they need to be connected? That doesn't make any sense

What do you mean they need to be connected? That doesn't make any sense

What do you mean? If you're the god of birds, wind and dragons, then obviously your core concept should be air and flight, not peace and order which has nothing to do with your spheres.

Those are like what Horses are to Poseidon. They're his creations.

[Lunas Legion]

NATURAL GOD Application
Name: Syeli
Title: Herald of the Apocalypse and the Ender of Days
Physical Age: Slightly younger than the age of the Universe.
Appearance Four Horses of the Apocalypse: White is Conquest, Black is Famine, Red is Execution/The End, Pale is Decay
Sphere(s) of Influence: Execution/The End, Conquest, Famine/Starvation, Decay/Rot
Core Concept: The ending of things.
Favored Appearance: Here.
Biography: Syeli claims the title of second-eldest of the Gods, for as soon as Time came into being, so did the End of Time as a concept appear, and with it came her. She takes no pleasure in her work, but regards it as necessary, as the old must be removed to make way for the new; she even created a God of Death so that she did not have to preside over the ferrying of souls from the mortal world to the next, a duty she pointedly ignored as soon as mortals came into existence.

Over time, as conflict wracked the mortal world, other spheres attached themselves to her, drawn like moths to a flame. Famine came first, for as soon as mortal creatures began to exist, they became hungry, and thus Famine joined her. Then as mortals organised into nations, Conquest became hers, giving her the duty of executing the concepts of nations, and finally Decay, as rot set in and the greatest of beasts and first states collapsed under their own rot.

It is her task to destroy concepts, ideological debris, that which blocks the way for new ideas to come forth; the judgement of what is a 'outdated' concept is difficult for her, but she errs on the side of caution in most, if not all, situations.

That is different but put that they are his creations or atleast partly his creations in the bio, I think is what Prumia and company were trying to tell you, Rather than in the Spheres of incluence.

I'm going to be away for a bit, don't do too much.

L'Koth is finally canon! Yus!

Fixed my appq

[Auchterland]

What do you mean they need to be connected? That doesn't make any sense

I think he actually meant this:

Sphere(s) of Influence: The sky, wind, storm, the Heavens

Your spheres do not seem necessarily related to this core concept:

Core Concept: Peace, Order, and Tranquility, but assertive dominance.

Your core concept looks more like a "personality" or "ideals". According to the OP, it should be this:

CORE CONCEPT: The main idea or element around which a god's power revolves.

So it's like the core concept is the main thing you have power over and the spheres of influence are its ramifications. I may be wrong, though. That's just what I understood from what Prumia said.

Oh, yeah, I hadn't even posted in this thread, I was just silently lurking. Can I reserve the spot for a god of home, family and civilization, though?

[Britanania]

I believe it was Kinky Bastards who mentioned a chart or tree detailing the deities' respected relationships. I have to agree with this, as it seems more and more of our characters have connexions

What about Maxentios? I don't think he has alot of connections as of right now....

Obviously not everyone is, but increasingly it appears that more of the gods have familial or other relations

Maybe somebody could create a chart like you mentioned earlier. Altough I think transendent gods probably won't have many familial relationships when compared to the natural gods.

Either way, it's a good idea to help keep track of everyone. I imagine our gods would behave like the Hellinic god; what with their rivalries, friendships, and other connexions

This, too
