I approve!

Meanwhile, Katana is apparently trying to dick over as many people as possible. Probably positively giddy that her on-a-whim weather tweaking ended up involving such a fun event.

She's fun to write, definitely. She's come rather a long way from the absurdly overpowered total Mary Sue she originally was circa 1998 when I first cooked her up.

... I mean, she's still an absurdly overpowered Mary Sue, but changing how she's applied as a character from main protagonist type to secondary troublemaker seems to work really well in the right settings.

1998?! she's as old as I am for crying out loud!

Fun fact: Reppy turns 34 next week. Katana isn't even my oldest character, either. The original iteration of the character I use for my mod avatar was first cooked up in late 1993/early 1994.

EDIT TO ADD: Belatedly realized it might help to have a sort of generalized guide for other players to go from as far as what other characters might know about or how they perceive little miss Goddess of Chaos there.

Gods:
Probably a toss-up whether or not any given god is even aware she exists. Given she doesn't exactly have the sort of ego or propensity for grandiose overt displays of power that most deities in the Uprising universe do, it is entirely possible for the more reclusive or inattentive of deities to not even know she's even around. Other gods who do know of her may dismiss her as not being a real god due to her mortal origins, or dismiss her as being akin to their own immortal servants, but simply lacking a divine master. Those who do actually recognize her power and extremely unpredictable nature are liable to treat any encounter with her with extreme caution precisely because she is such a wild card.

The Gods' servants (such as Pit)/other immortals:
The more often they deal with mortals and the mortal world, the more likely they are to know of her, and to have possibly crossed paths with her, since she only rarely meanders over to Skyworld, the Underworld, or any of the other divine realms. Given she's fond of kicking around with the mortals, it's quite possible that she's meddled with the servants' affairs, either in an obvious fashion or in the guise of a mere mortal. Those who know of her, unlike their divine masters, probably have a far greater respect for what she's capable of having more likely encountered such shenanigans up close and personal. They're more likely to view her as at least a proper demigod if not an outright god.

Mortals:
There are probably a bajillion variations of the myth surrounding her. The survivors of the Karaxian empire's destruction view her as a god of destruction if not an outright monstrous abomination to be feared. Other civilizations probably have variations of the "trickster god" trope applied to her or to one of her guises. Due to the aforementioned lack of the typical divine ego, she's less inclined to sign her name to her handiwork, meaning any given mortal's perception of her could be wildly inaccurate and based on some mythic feat she performed in the area within the past century or two; ranging from destructive to benevolent.

And just so everybody is aware, for when it invariably happens that she does something especially nonsensical or out of left field: To make sure Katana is properly chaotic, when I sit down to write her, I am literally using dice rolls to decide what course of action she's using.

Bruh... I knew I was relatively young to the RP thing.... I had no Idea people have been Roleplaying back in 94! (thats not an old jab BTW ) Also, the dice roll thing, THAT IS GENIUS!

Do I get more brownie points if I say that Thanatos is referencing Jessie, James, and Meowth?

I assume the good guys will get routed? If so, I get 5,000 souls and a pot of gold.

Nah. because I didn't ask for the reference.

Look, there's something in Hades' eye!

The Holidays really killed activity didn't they?

Nobody got my reference to TFs. *sigh*

'Kay.

Here's the next Batus vs Hades round.

Batus: There's something in your eye. *punches Hades' eye* MY FIST!
Ailos: Here, hold this arrow in your eye, Hades. *shoots Hades in eye*
Ironus: Hey, Hades, check out my new camera. *power blasts in face* This ain't no camera. I was robbed!

And then Hades goes: "I don't like the ASDF references in my Roleplay!" proceeds to punch all three of them.

Heh heh heh. . . and then Ironus parodies the Laser Collection.

So, my most recent dice roll for "What's Katana going to get up to next" landed on "Random act of benevolence." Would it be acceptable for her to have magically prevented a bunch of souls from the attacked settlement from making it to Hades so that she can revive them? (And probably leave them to try and rebuild in the aftermath of her previous "dick over as many people as possible" roll that led to the inclement weather... *oops*) If that's too godmodey, I can try to come up with something else.

I'd say you could save about 75% of them. the rest go to Hades. It would generate plot, something we desperately need.

is it to late to join?

Sweet, more than I was actually hoping for. XD I'll scoot to get a post written up ASAP.

EDIT: And posted! Glad to serve as a plot device.

It's never too late. this RP will never close.

Oh, dice. You never cease to entertain. Rolled "make fun of someone" and went for broke. I'm leaving it up to everybody else as to whether or not their characters know who Katana is and all that. Keeps it fun.

Accepting her was the best decision I ever made! Keep doing what you're doing, you're great!
