Ex-Nihilo: Deity/God Roleplay (OOC/mechanics)

[Dentali]

Actually, after some consideration, I agree with this. Still, we should probably give our OP a bit of time to return.

Great we are both voting for ourselves then.

Kidding aside, we should definitely wait before doing something. Your Wednesday deadline seem a reasonable amount of time to wait.

I concur, otherwise I really hope that the RP moves past laws of physics and into fun creation myth stuff

While the laws of physics are cool and all, most creation myths do not include so much detail.

[Gurori]

Right, so I think we should wait until let's say Wednesday 4PM EST. If OP doesn't return by then we make another roleplay?

That seems to be the consensus. I second Quendi's self nomination in accord with the bylaws.

Third vote for oneself then.

Isn't creation and laws of physics the same thing though? How do you see them as distinct?

It's not creation until you murder an ice giant or sing/speak a hundred different races into being, Quendi. You should know this.

Sorry I’ve been gone, NS servers couldn’t connect yesterday for some reason. It’s ok if anyone wants to start another one, I don’t care if it’s my thread or not I just want a nice deity RP.

You should just appoint a Co-Op, people are just eager because its a cool idea

You're back, so it's all good.

I'll try to have a post up later today.

i do ask that we dont go into the minutia of gravity, physics, science and all that. we will be here forever

[Gurori]

I love the concept of deity roleplays so I'd be sad if this one went down but I also don't mind making one of my own.

Yeah tbh I didn’t expect people to attempt to micro the universal physics rather I expected a quick base and then what the world would be, a plane, a planet, a big planet with a few small ones around it, etc. What the planet would be like climate wise, if magic exists. I also didn’t want to force my hand down though so I just decided to let you all carry on arguing about how gravity works.

[Gurori]

Name: Currently goes without a name, so for the time being just call it "she" or "her".
Domain: 100% Divine Power
Personality: She is an eccentric being, one whom seems to have a rather terrible sense of "morality". She seems to be some form of sadist, with no (or at least a rather poor) sense of "morality". You could probably say she is the definition of Chaotic Neutral as she does whatever she wants, whenever she wants, with no regard to the safety, feelings and overall well-being of others.
Appearances: A pale-skinned figure with white hair, sometimes observed carrying what appears to be a sword. (Fate/Grand Order's Jeanne Alter can be used as reference, except give her crimson eyes instead of yellow). For all we know though, this could just be a chosen form, who knows what she really looks like...
other/updates:(any major events in the game that shift your character enough to be mentioned can be put her when applicable)

Re-posting my app here (even though I probably don't need to since it's on page 2).

For those of you yet to be added to the list, you can start rping, I just am on mobile and it’s a bit fiddly to get the codes working.

Yay! Maybe you could (as the head god) start assigning different gods working out physics and stuff, would probably speed it up

[Utceforp]

Name: The Exalted Serpents: Maligant, Attaval, and Ossedax
Domain: 100% Divine Power collectively
Personality: Attaval, as the weakest and yet cleverest of the Serpents, prefers manipulation and trickery to direct confrontation. He resents the power his brothers wield, and is ultimately only loyal to himself as a result. Despite this, he serves them, out of fear of retribution.

Ossedax has the mind of a child, or a savage animal, and while shockingly eloquent he is only really capable of following simple instructions. If left to his own devices, he will revert to simple predatory behaviour, seeking to devour anything he thinks he is capable of killing. Ossedax is loyal to his brother Maligant, and trusts his judgement entirely.

Maligant is defined by the deep love he holds for both of his brothers, even the perfidious Attaval. Maligant is intelligent, though not so much as Attaval, and has a mind for long-term planning. He has little love for the other gods, and he wishes to find a way to ensure the Serpents will outlive them.

Appearances: Each of the Serpents are ecosystems unto themselves - trillions of warring cellular automata in billions of different configurations, that collectively and unintentionally generate an emergent process in the shape of a massive draconic creature. However, as all three are powerful illusionists and shapeshifters, they are completely capable of taking on forms that do not reflect their true nature.

Maligant tends to take the form of an enormous sea-green eel, but with a humanoid face. His body is riddled with tumours, which periodically explode into viscous blue-black blood. This blood is toxic to all living things but Maligant, and will eventually form itself into enormous insectoid monsters if outside Maligan's body for long enough. Maligant's body is approximately 15,000 km in diameter, and about three AU long.

Attaval tends to take the form of an enormous skeletal horned viper. He is animated through a network of black tendrils that extend from his heart and wrap around the bones that make up his body. Far smaller than his brothers, Attaval is only the size of a large continent. Attaval is the most likely of the three to adopt a smaller humanoid form.

Ossedax tends to take the form of an enormous translucent worm encased in a reddish-white carapace. Ossedax's head is adorned with blood-red feathery plumes resembling a lion's mane, and his sixteen eyes have vertical pupils like a cat's. Ossedax is the largest of the Serpents, as he tends to remain around 10 AU in diameter and 40 AU in length.

[Danceria]

Name: Caverasine (Cav-er-ah-seen) AKA the Deep One
Domain: 100% Divine
Personality: He is a brooding, introverted man, preferring to zealously expand his domain and discover all it can do over interpersonal activities. He is known to be slow to anger, and even slower to forget. However, he does have a creative side, crafting a wide variety of organisms and landscapes, and will often launch into excitable conversations with those he finds common interest in.

One of the more zealous in the creation of the world, he would become a strong advocate for the mortal races. While not always seeing eye to eye with other Gods, malign deities such as Umbra would find the Lord of the Waters to be a tenacious and ever present foe. His alignment is Netrual Good.
Appearances: He is often personified as the Waters, be it an ocean or a mere puddle, and similarly possesses a dualistic appearance. On one hand, he can be a gigantic azure dragon, towering above almost all else in the cosmos, or a slightly short man with aesthetically placed scales, with long flowing hair. His appearance would suit the need of the moment, and suit his creative, albeit hyperactive mind
other/updates: I'm going for a cthonic god of the Oceans and Afterlife. Posisbly dragons as well. No doubt one of the earlier conflicts would be The Deep One's overzealousness to create life.

Bamp?

Personally I like how it is going actually. Arguing about gravity and whatnot is exactly what real gods should be doing in a time before time in my opinion. I feel like in most deity rps it's just "hand waving and then all of a sudden the Greek city states are all there now". I like the nuances of how the rp is taking its time to mature and form, arguing over the basics I feel like is a cool thing for a group of gods to be doing. (I hope my questions will soon be answered though, don't want to be sitting here with them not knowing what to do with myself)

Time to make a splash, quite literally.

Indeed you are. I will be adding all the new folks to the list just now

My character does not have a name.

For the concept of language does not yet exist, let alone names.
