NationStates

• 1. Stay within your powers. If you are the God of Earth, you can't make oceans.
• 2. Gods can't be killed outside of extreme cases which have to be discussed OOC-ly beforehand, but they can be kicked from the Pantheon, which strips them of a lot of power. The Chief of a Pantheon is the only one who can kick a member.
• 3. Mortals are the main way that an Ichor gains power, but not the only one. Mortal worshippers who have a deity as a patron God grant the most power, followed by mortals who worship them as a member of a Pantheon, with power granted by the existence of one’s domain/s taking up the far rear.
• 4. Your domains cannot be entirely contradictory (i.e. Fire and Water). Although some contradiction is allowed if you convince me that it’d be interesting.
• 5. Gods with similar domains are allowed. However, you must get in contact with the RPers with any over-lapping domains to get their opinions on their app. If they feel that your app overlaps too strongly, or they do not like the idea, then it is likely that you will be denied.
• 6. As this RP is on-going, new God apps would preferably have a little hint at an explanation as to their lack of prior IC involvement. Although we can generally overlook this and it is not a hard-bound requirement for apps.
• 7. While the Ichor are immensely powerful, their influence on the mortal realm is restricted beyond their followers; their primary means of affecting the mortal realm is through influencing their worshippers. Also, I don’t want to see any mass appearances before whole cities as a Deity – think about the Greek Gods, they only appeared in front of their most devout and loyal worshippers. Although, more discrete mortal manifestations are allowed (i.e. to live among one’s followers without being identified). Similarly, no massive nation-destroying uses of powers! As a rule of thumb, a player-made faction/nation is as powerful as an Ichor (in terms of OOC protection if not necessarily IC-ly).
• 8. And of course the usual: no Meta-Gaming, no excessive God-Modding, etc, etc.

Deity Name:Ragnor
Domain of Power: War and compassion
Persona: Fair, kind, patient and brutal: all are words used to describe Ragnor and his skill. The god sees war as the ultimate solution to an eternal problem. With war men can prove their resolve, strengthen their mind, body and souls. Only through war and conquest can the most capable be revealed and only through conflict can they truly respect and follow one another.

Ragnor loves life of all kinds and races, he believes that through destruction a stronger, brighter future can be achieved. As a result, whilst he encourages war he has made rules that must always be followed. For Ragnor, there is a difference between battling and killing, slaughtering and defeating, raiding and resupplying. The difference lies within compassion. Compassion brings restraint, honour, kindness and forgiveness but when all else fails it also brings regret and vengeance. Ragnor is a very spiritual individual, enjoying to talk and spread his beliefs to all who listen. He is forgiving and believes in surrender and pride. That said, his forgiving nature has exceptions. Those who break his rules of war are given no quarter, to those he sees as villainous, he shows nothing as they deserve nothing but sharpened steel.

Mortal Appearance: Ragnor has no chosen mortal face, instead he simply exists as a symbol of war, a giant of man clad in iron forged in fire.

Gender: Male
Symbol of Power: A burning rose
Blessed Animal: Lion
Divine weapon: The Blade of Tomorrow. The sword is heavier, stronger and far larger than any normal blade. That said it has no real powers as of now. Instead it holds potential. The blade is a tool but it represents much more. It symbolises why people fight and when its user grows in strength so shall it.
Did you read the rules?: Yep, no going overpower else fear the hurricanes and ban-hammer.

Ralnis wrote:So, how far is this in? Are we still having bronze weapons and such?

My current plan is to have a fair amount of variation, so ranging from Classical to early-renaissance if so desired (Although I'd caution against using tech to appear superior). After all, they had gunpowder weapons in Medieval times and all that jazz. I'm looking at writing up a bunch of nomadic, semi-tribal Orcs so tech =/= power (plus, magic and all that).

Nation Name: The Armed Republic of Dutch coolness
Deity Name: Alerielle [Ah-leer-e-ehl]
Generation: First Generation.
Domain of Power: Forests & Vengeance

Alerielle is known to be completely emotionally unstable, and as such is considered to be rather fickle and dangerous. Despite her by now many years of existence, still rather naive on certain parts of life.
Mortal Appearance: Link to image. Dress code varies - you don't wear the same thing every day either!
Gender: Female, and always appears as such.
Symbol of Power: A Twine, plain and simple.
Blessed Animal: Deer. These are sometimes used as mounts by the most favored of her followers.
Divine weapon: A simple-looking steel sword, no name given.
Did you read the rules?: Aye.

Faal Lot Himdah
Deity Name:
Void
Generation:
Numeral Uno (First Gen)
Domain of Power:
Destruction and the Unknown
Persona:
How to put it... evil. Void hates the chaos of creation, and wishes for it all to be destroyed. He sees the beings of creation as nothing but things to be used to reach his goals. He looks at the Dark Elves, certain Dragons and the Goblins with the highest potential to be used to reach his goals. Void uses Chaos to bring about destruction, which leads to Primal Order.
Gender:
Male
Mortal Appearance:
Void uses many forms, he can appear as almost anything, but his favored forms are these.

Symbol of Power:
A Wyvern as black as night, and this symbol
Blessed Animal:
Wyvern (like dragons, except two wings for forelimbs, not as strong, and not intelligent enough to be a race, wolf like intelligence. The wolves of the sky is a good way to describe them. Their history involves them once being Dragons, but went feral and fell to Void's influence)
Divine weapon:
The Shadow of Destruction.
The Shadow of Destruction is part of Void. It is made from his own essence making it extremely powerful against mortals as it ignores all mortal armor. The sword is unbreakable as long as Void's resolve is unbroken. The sword can be used against gods as well, but, it can not penetrate divine armor. As such it is like a mortal weapon against mortal armor.

Persona: He is a calm and generous being, very protective of plant life and forest and their inhabitants.
Mortal Appearance: Golem/Ent form , but also has a humanoid form that some woudl call male nymph, dressed with leaves and flowers and nothing more. Dark oak hair and bright green eyes.
Gender:Male(humanoid form) Tree(tree form)
Symbol of Power: A (flowering) potato plant.

It's a nice reference to my domains, potatoes aren't fruits, they are kinda roots. If you let the plant flower, the resulting fruits will be highly poisonous. Note:Temples would be gardens with a central pot with a potato plant.

Blessed Animal: Bee
Divine weapon: Magic(if not possible, longbow with poisoned arrows)
Did you read the rules?:Yes, but I though this would be a total reboot. Are there going to be gods from the previous RP?
Rp Example:

Flamels Stone wrote:The light came back to his eyes, as if breathing in he raised his arms and then punched the earth, his fingers became roots and as he breath out many plants sprouted out of the land.
Great forests stabbed the sky in the blessed places that were hotter, rich with tropical fruits.
Intimidating taigas grew in the colder places with great pines and small bushes.
Near the sea and on islands tropical paradises popped up with palm trees.
In the inlands vast grasslands and small forest spread decorated with aromatic herbs,flowers, fruit trees and wild grains.
On the shallow waters great willows stretched theirs branches and mushrooms hid in their bases as the water turned a shade darker.
But his power was nearly fading, spots on the world remained barren, lightless caves and deserts(both hot and cold) were still flat without life.
With a final struggle he spread his sphere a little more, making little bushes and cacti(without spikes) in the deserts and ferns in the caves.
''It is done.'' taking off his hands from the ground he walked a few steps in front of him where a blessed spot was located and became a great tree, bigger than any other on that land. ''If you wish anything from me,come to my sanctuary. And I'll do what it is needed after I rest.''
