The Battle of the Believers [OoC / Signups / Deity / CLOSED]

[Camelone]

How many posts do we need before the random events start to happen? Also would we be able to make minor gods, like gods with very specialized or weak domains?

[Bentus]

Ooohhhh, this looks interesting

Just about the sects though, do they have to be civilizations of their own accord, or could they be more like factions - widespread but not necessarily ruling over entire cities? And are there kingdoms and nations beyond the sects directly under the observation of the Gods?

I'm going to post either tonight or tomorrow the random events. But wanna encourage as many people as possible to get intro posts up. I'm cool with minor gods provided they're basically NPCs who serve a very minimal role

Sects can be whatever size you want, so could be widespread. But you would need a core location where your temple would exist. Every where on the world is observed by the gods, just so happens that certain areas have patron gods. Thanks for calling the RP interesting though!!

[Camelone]

So a god of bards and journeys would be fine as would a god of warriors and dancing?

[Mewsland]

I'll be posting later today.

[Arulean States]

TAG.

Would a god of rage and destruction be permitted?

[Vaquas]

Ooh, sounds fun.

[Camelone]

That moment when you are waiting for someone to post so to post again but you might post again anyways.

[Cresadine]

Reserve the Goddess of Motherhood and Fertility.

[Vaquas]

Reserve the Goddess of Motherhood and Nature (with a particular emphasis on the nurturing of living things and fertility - that way more Nature deities can exist.

I think there is already a Nature Goddess, maybe you could just do Fertility and Motherhood or something?

Of course they would, provided nobody owns them ha

TAG.

Now this sounds like it could seriously mess with things, I love it. Course they'd be permitted!

That is very true, but I shall reserve motherhood and fertility

Will be posting today, and then a summary of the *random events* will be at the bottom of my post.

[Camelone]

God / Goddess' Name: Odarsa

Appearance:

Chosen Domain (max 2): Bards and Journeys

Brief Bio: Odarsa is a merry and restless god always traveling and singing bringing delight to those who hear his songs and bringing remembrance of past great deeds, he is considered the oral historian of the gods and so has seen almost everything that has ever happened. Stories and epics are his forte and whenever a song is needed to be played he is there, whether it is remembering a noble sacrifice or the love of two people. Due to his never ending journey Odarsa barely returns to the divine plane if he can help it and prefers to walk among the mortals to see their stories unfold before his eyes. The keeper of the lessons of the past he is the one who sees all but is sworn to never give advantages to anyone and instead recites from memory everything that has happened so as it can be written down in the history of the gods.

Name of Sect's Location: The Odes

Description of Sect Location's Area: The Odes wander across the world as they are a society of bards dedicated to bringing joy and music across the world. Very decentralized and much loved there is not a single people who would turn away an Ode as they are honest and hardworking folk who exchange a livelihood for hearing epics, stories, and ballads.

Species of People's in Sect's Location (plus info if relevant): Mostly humans but usually anyone who can find a master willing to teach them.

Leader of Sect's Location: The Council, a council of renowned odes, though almost anyone from the odes can speak it just doesn't mean you'll be taken seriously.

RP Sample: I already gave one. So what do you think?

[Camelone]

God / Goddess' Name: Ceaoch

Appearance:

Chosen Domain (max 2): Warriors and dancing

Brief Bio: Ceaoch is the epitome of the warrior ideals, for they are his ideals, and is known to be a close friend to Misneach who he respects as both a dear friend and a wise teacher who tempers his otherwise hot headed personality, jumping ready to fight at the slightest transgression against his honor or his friends. A lover of good dancing Ceaoch uses it to train for war but also because he is exhilarated by the dance and music is his favorite to hear and so has grown fond of Odarsa begging the elusive bard to play for him so he can dance. A fearsome warrior he defends his friends and ideals with a zeal and one best be weary of insulting this proud god of warriors.

Name of Sect's Location: The School of the Warriors

Description of Sect Location's Area: The School of the Warriors is a collection of communities that dedicate themselves totally to the teachings of Ceaoch and are fearsome warriors and excellent dancers. The School teaches footwork in dancing, the Way of the Right Warrior, and the Code of Ceaoch alongside warfare as the School has produced some of the finest warriors the world has ever seen. So far they have only appeared in Misrigh but they have slowly spread across the world, though their importance in the societies they are in is mixed, in Misrigh they are a central pillar to the kingdom and by extension so is Ceaoch.

Species of People's in Sect's Location (plus info if relevant): Anyone who wishes to join but so far it has been only humans

Leader of Sect's Location: Champion Gallius Alwinnovich (Son of Alwin) of clan Forbear

RP Sample: Also have already submitted an RP sample. So how do you like him?

[Albertasby]

Camelone I think you misunderstood me. When I said they'd be okay, I didn't mean that they would be characters you could RP as fully. They'd be like a minor character that you can use to influence your RP. Eg. they make a passing comment to your character / appear infrequently in a few scenes. I didn't mean that there'd be a character you start to RP as;

[Camelone]

Well there isn't any NPC app so I just used the full one so I don't forget them and have some lore behind them so people know how too react to them.

Ah okay, I understand. Normally with NPCs I'm used to people just including them in posts (similar to how I have done). They both look really interesting, I like it.

Thank you and anybody who wishes to use them feel free to, they can be community gods in a sense. Plus I think Odarsa would be a little to OP because he sees everything so there can't be any scheming on his part, but he is also sworn to be always neutral because of this.

[Camelone]

Looks like Galach Fordinovich is going to Oronor for his adventure.

[Woodstovia]

Can I change the race of my empire?

[Maljaratas]

Please Reserve Weather as a domain.

Trying to figure out if I should add a second domain, and if so if that domain should be Sun, Sky, or Air.

[Oberstyre]

Please Reserve Weather as a domain.

Weather isn't much of a domain though.

In Greek mythology Poseidon was god of horses, water (the sea), and droughts which one can assume meant that he controlled whether or not it rained.

Sure it is-
I would have everything from droughts (no rain) to most floods (too much rain), technically rainbows, thunderstorms, lightning (presumably), all forms of precipitation, hurricanes, and any other weather phenomenon you can think of.

A weather god sounds awesome.

God / Goddess' Name: Kaine

Appearance: http://giphy.com/gifs/total-cjZ8ghssofvmE

Chosen Domain (max 2): Rage and Ruin

Brief Bio: Kaine has existed since the first blow struck in anger. From that moment, the ruin of everything became his sole purpose for existence. He immediately set about the ruin of the other gods' creation, making himself a major threat to his equals. Soon, however, the gods banded together to force him to stop, and effectively banishing him. Now, his influence is weak outside of his sect, and he finds purchase only where he is invited. He maintains a regular presence among his followers and often appears to lead them during raids and pillaging. The leader of his sect, known as Atren Khan, is his demigod son, the most recent in a long line. While Kiane does remain the leader of the Khanate, it is a position he uses only when they go to war, instead allowing the Khan to rule. He spends the remainder of his time at his trying to bring about the ruin of the other gods.

Name of Sect's Location:
Uurta-Ba'an, meaning The Endless Steppe
Description of Sect Location's Area:
Uurta-Ba'an is a seemingly endless landmass, stretching across a large portion of the world. Uurta-Ba'an is almost unable to support large populations, leading to a nomadic lifestyle. The Steppe is almost totally flat, and serves as an ideal place for the breeding of horse-borne warriors. The land is unsuitable for farmland, as while water is present, rain is too irregular for growing crops. The only city on the Steppe is Ts'am-Kahg, which surrounds the fortress-tower of Orem which Kaine calls home. The people of the Steppe nominally owe allegiance to Atren Khan, as he is the chosen of Kaine, their patron.
The people of Uurta-Ba'an are divided into five great Hordes, each ruled by one of Kaines demigod children. They are the Red Horde, ruled by Dain, the Black Horde, ruled by Ukhel, the White Horde, ruled by Olsgolon, the Grey Horde, ruled by Takhal and the Blazen Horde, ruled by Atren Khan.
Species of People's in Sect's Location (plus info if relevant): Human (think the Huns in terms of culture)
Leader of Sect's Location: Ts'am-Kahg

RP Sample: World of Conquest
