Also an important issue. Demi-gods... Are they a thing and if so how would it work out.

So we are opening this can of worms again?, the last time we had a Demi-God it caused a war among the Gods


War. Good, more food for ma demons.

Pantheon of Ruination sounds good, I think I'll go with that.

As the war god, I approve the previous message.

Hmmmm, for the Pantheon of Ruination's creation, rather than being part of the original Spiritual World, it gets formed in the Beyond and basically its presence becomes known, and recognized after they pretty much trash the old Pantheons (at least Conceptual and Cosmic) before they are pushed back by by a united front. That sets Athanatos and Korv-Pharn into Titanhood and that is when the Star Maze is set up.

This would probably also be when Azakal cut his teeth as a defender of Unera, got his club, etc. There's probably a mythological cycle or two about his battles with prominent demons, with a sort of tragic Gilgamesh/Hercules/Rostam vibe to them. Azakal's also sort of symbolically a foil to the fifth Pantheon, in a way - destructive and dangerous, like them, but unlike them is ultimately a good thing, much like the Sun itself. He's even called "ruinous" in one of his titles.

Also, Raktio, is Okomephis a Nature Pantheon god? If so, he seems like the most likely forger of Azakal's mask.

Hmm... I was thinking about a snake god of some sort, but that's already been taken (been reading Warlock of the Magus world recently, and also playing as Orgnum/Pyandonea and the Tsaesci in Elder Kings).

I actually sent a message to Jerno about that while making him.

I feel like Azakal might be one of the few (if not only) gods who actively hunt down demons outside of the Beyond.

You could go with an animal that's kinda like a snake, but not - e.g. a god of worms, a god of eels, or a god of dragons.

god of centipedes. Clearly need one of those.

Speaking of dragons, are there going to be mythological creatures on earth?

I guess gods sharing domains can potentially work too, or perhaps my character could be serpentine deity that is perhaps the son of Setesa and another god? The later might make the most sense.

Yeah that would be cool, maybe u can also “borrow” demons and Monsters from the actual stories as well since the Gods of those stories aren’t included in this RP an example Cyonephali (I think that’s how u spell it.) it’s a monster that has a body of a human with a head of a dog.

God of: Ore, Fire, Forging and Artistry.
Titan or Deva? Deva
Powers and abilities:
  • Okomephis has command over heat and fire. His fires generally will feel (to mortals) like a hearth fire, warm and welcoming, or a blacksmith's fire, hot (but not scorching) and filled with determination, pride and intent.
  • He is able to conjure, shape and modify ores (though actually going through the action of crafting is much easier and produces better results then simply willing stuff to happen.
  • He is able to create all sorts of celestial artifacts, though any using powers not within him are significantly diminished unless he gets help from someone who's powers correlate with what he is trying to make.
Appearance(image if possible): Will find something later, Basically a roughly humanoid person made of ore in various states of being smelted and forged into usable metals, competed parts fall off whenever they are competed and unrefined ore takes their place. The pieces are usually tossed onto his volcano's side where he may retrieve them some time later to forge holy / celestial artifacts.
Short Bio: Was born a minor Deva of ore originally, and an incredibly bored one. In his boredom, he took to wandering the worlds. It wasn't until he discovered a small, primitive, tribe of man upon the planet Earth, chipping away at the very ores he represented. Having his interest piqued, he observed them for an uncounted amount of time, and watched as they shaped the stones into tools and weapons. He began to mimic them, taking and shaping the ores into new shapes, and after placing one of his creations where a human would find it, he found the reaction satisfying. Thus, for many millennia after that, he disguised himself as a human and went around carving stones and taking pride in sharing his creations as well as sharing his knowledge. And then in one of the larger tribes he discovered something else, they would fire to soften the metals into something they could work much more easily, and suddenly they could do a whole lot of things. Using a little guile, he managed to become an apprentice to one of the crafters, and began learning the art of forging. Naturally, being a god, he was quickly able to outstrip his master, and in short order became a legendary smith in the region. After spending a human's lifetime smithing, and teaching a few apprentices the art, he decided to was time to leave. Leaving a few of his best works to his mortal friends and explaining who he truly was, he left for the Spiritual World.

In the spiritual world, he beseeched Gonz for a volcanic mountain which he could use as his forge. Getting the mountain, he began to forge things of all sorts of metals, tossing unsatisfactory work back into the mountain o melt down once more. It took him a while to realize that something didn't feel right, and when he looked around, he realized he hadn't kept a single item. Thus he returned to the mortal world and repeated the process. This took nearly seven times for him to realize what he was missing in the spiritual world. Upon returning to his forge volcano, instead of crafting only for himself, he created items for the various denizens of the spiritual world, and he finally felt satisfied in his work. He knew that those he made things for felt gratified for the item and the work he put into crafting them. He still goes down to the mortal world on the occasion and has made a legend for himself of a traveling master smith who's work is peerless.


We actually already have a Forge God. Sorry I haven't updated the roster. Will do that now.

Yeah, I found that out a little bit ago after I had this submitted. Just just going to have to stow this guy away for another game. (Though I would like to note, that from what I can tell based on the other person's app, they are pretty much polar opposite ends of forging)

Okay the roster has been fully updated so please check that and let me know if I missed anything. Also I've created the IC. Decided we'd start with a meeting again but what is discussed at the meeting will be much different, thus making for a different story plot.

Think I should come up with some names for prominent demons Azakal will fight or has fought?

I had this idea for one particular story where Azakal kills a group of demons over the course of a single night, and takes their remains as trophies:

The first demon was the Shadow Hunter, a predatory creature that could change its shape as long as it was under the light of the moon. Azakal tricked the Shadow Hunter by wrapping his arms around it, causing it to take the form of a moth to escape his grasp, then stood between the moon and the Shadow Hunter, forcing it to remain a moth and making it easy to kill.

The second demon was Nuana the Ice-Ghost, an ethereal woman surrounded by freezing cold winds. Azakal fashioned a fan out of one of Unera's trees and used his immense strength to blow away Nuana's winds, then killed her.

The third demon was Xoxtet the Abyssal, a giant crocodile who could not be wounded, because its spilled blood would instantly leap into the lungs of the one who wounded it, killing them. Azakal dug up a mountain and dropped it onto Xoxtet's head, suffocating it without spilling its blood.

The fourth demon was the Crooked Whip Beast, a wriggling knot of razor-sharp black wires, which liked to chase people until they died of exhaustion. Azakal reached into the knot and untangled it by sheer strength alone, causing the Crooked Whip Beast to die.

The fifth demon was the Gouger Dragon, a winged reptile whose whole body was covered in deadly spines, who used charisma and cleverness to trick desperate people into becoming its slaves. Azakal slaughtered the Gouger Dragon's army of slaves, then used his fingers to poke out its eyes, causing it to bleed to death as it flailed blindly.

The sixth demon was Radinak the Hungry, a wandering swordsman who ate nothing but the flesh of his enemies. Azakal persuaded the people in Radinak's stomach to take revenge on the one who ate them, distracting Radinak long enough for Azakal to strike the killing blow.

The seventh demon was the Singing Army, a swarm of cicadas and locusts that could render a field barren or strip a victim to the bone in seconds. Azakal asked them which of them intended to eat which parts of his body, tricking the Singing Army into arguing, fighting, and killing each other over the choicest meat. After waiting for the fighting to die down, Azakal smashed the exhausted survivors with his fists.

The eighth demon was the Dust Vampire, a humanoid hyena-like creature that killed its enemies by draining the water from their bodies. When it tried this trick on Azakal, the water it drained was boiling hot, causing it incredible agony. While it was distracted by this pain, Azakal grabbed the Dust Vampire and skinned it alive with his fingernails.

The ninth demon was the Burning Lion, a humanoid demonic warrior with the head of a lion, dressed in radiant golden armour, and a respected general among its kind. The duel between Azakal and the Burning Lion lasted for hours, but eventually the Burning Lion grew tired, threw down its weapon, and allowed Azakal to tear off its head. Before the Burning Lion died, its head told Azakal that the Burning Lion's true name was Lakaza, and that over the course of their duel it had come to admire Azakal's skill.

The moment that the Burning Lion died, the dawn came, and Azakal descended into one of his fits of madness. The other gods found Azakal kneeling in the dirt, tearing at his own flesh, crying and screaming that he was the father of all the world's evils. The gods soothed him, and carried him back to Unera, and fashioned trophies for him from each of the slain demon's bodies.

The paws of the Shadow Hunter's tiger form became the feet of Azakal's throne.

The forearms of Nuana the Ice-Ghost became the arms of Azakal's throne.

The lower jaw of Xoxtet the Abyssal became the bottom of Azakal's throne.

The Crooked Whip Beast's wires became the threads in the carpet beneath Azakal's throne.

The glittering spines of the Gouger Dragon became the jewels that decorated Azakal's throne.

The ribcage of Radinak the Hungry became the back of Azakal's throne.

The bodies of the Singing Army, within a bag made from their knitted-together wings, became the cushion on Azakal's throne.

The skin of the Dust Vampire became Azakal's loincloth.

The skull of the Burning Lion became the head of Azakal's enchanted club.

After waiting for the fighting to die down, Azakal smashed the exhausted survivors with his fists.

The eighth demon was the Dust Vampire, a humanoid hyena-like creature that killed its enemies by draining the water from their bodies. When it tried this trick on Azakal, the water it drained was boiling hot, causing it incredible agony. While it was distracted by this pain, Azakal grabbed the Dust Vampire and skinned it alive with his fingernails.

The ninth demon was the Burning Lion, a humanoid demonic warrior with the head of a lion, dressed in radiant golden armour, and a respected general among its kind. The duel between Azakal and the Burning Lion lasted for hours, but eventually the Burning Lion grew tired, threw down its weapon, and allowed Azakal to tear off its head. Before the Burning Lion died, its head told Azakal that the Burning Lion's true name was Lakaza, and that over the course of their duel it had come to admire Azakal's skill.

The moment that the Burning Lion died, the dawn came, and Azakal descended into one of his fits of madness. The other gods found Azakal kneeling in the dirt, tearing at his own flesh, crying and screaming that he was the father of all the world's evils. The gods soothed him, and carried him back to Unera, and fashioned trophies for him from each of the slain demon's bodies.

The paws of the Shadow Hunter's tiger form became the feet of Azakal's throne.

The forearms of Nuana the Ice-Ghost became the arms of Azakal's throne.

The lower jaw of Xoxtet the Abyssal became the bottom of Azakal's throne.

The Crooked Whip Beast's wires became the threads in the carpet beneath Azakal's throne.

The glittering spines of the Gouger Dragon became the jewels that decorated Azakal's throne.

The ribcage of Radinak the Hungry became the back of Azakal's throne.

The bodies of the Singing Army, within a bag made from their knitted-together wings, became the cushion on Azakal's throne.

The skin of the Dust Vampire became Azakal's loincloth.

The skull of the Burning Lion became the head of Azakal's enchanted club.


This sounds familiar. Something like the monsters slain by Ninurta? Well, there are other similar myths, but that's just something I vaguely recalled off the top of my head.

A little bird told me, "Go, Go! Socialise! Talk to those fine people! And then, KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM! Plunge your knife into their throats when they ain't lookin', and then burn 'em to the ground!"
Well that's silly, isn't it?

The first demon was the Shadow Hunter, a predatory creature that could change its shape as long as it was under the light of the moon. Azakal tricked the Shadow Hunter by wrapping his arms around it, causing it to take the form of a moth to escape his grasp, then stood between the moon and the Shadow Hunter, forcing it to remain a moth and making it easy to kill.

The second demon was Nuana the Ice-Ghost, an ethereal woman surrounded by freezing cold winds. Azakal fashioned a fan out of one of Unera's trees and used his immense strength to blow away Nuana's winds, then killed her.

The third demon was Xoxtet the Abyssal, a giant crocodile who could not be wounded, because its spilled blood would instantly leap into the lungs of the one who wounded it, killing them. Azakal dug up a mountain and dropped it onto Xoxtet's head, suffocating it without spilling its blood.

The fourth demon was the Crooked Whip Beast, a wriggling knot of razor-sharp black wires, which liked to chase people until they died of exhaustion. Azakal reached into the knot and untangled it by sheer strength alone, causing the Crooked Whip Beast to die.

The fifth demon was the Gouger Dragon, a winged reptile whose whole body was covered in deadly spines, who used charisma and cleverness to trick desperate people into becoming its slaves. Azakal slaughtered the Gouger Dragon's army of slaves, then used his fingers to poke out its eyes, causing it to bleed to death as it flailed blindly.

The sixth demon was Radinak the Hungry, a wandering swordsman who ate nothing but the flesh of his enemies. Azakal persuaded the people in Radinak's stomach to take revenge on the one who ate them, distracting Radinak long enough for Azakal to strike the killing blow.

The seventh demon was the Singing Army, a swarm of cicadas and locusts that could render a field barren or strip a victim to the bone in seconds.

No, you got it right. The Slain Heroes was a direct inspiration for this.
Signatures are so 2014.

This one is just an idea i had, not sure about it though...

Name: Etheri

God of: Loss, Regression, Fading and Forgetting

Titan or Deva? Deva

Powers and abilities: Can cause mortals to forget things, and cause things to become forgotten. Can dull memories of emotions, events, and knowledge. Can disappear and reappear at a whim, but only to places familiar to her. Has constant amnesia, but doesn't mind it at all. Her powers have no direct effect on gods, but can be indirectly troublesome. can make wars, deaths, secrets, time, lessons and even bonds be forgotten, though she must focus on it to cause it.

Appearance(image if possible):

Image

Short Bio: Though an argument could be made for her being a goddess of secrets, that couldn't be further from the truth. For she remembers no secrets, no lies, no truths, and no importances other than herself. She often even forgets the names of her fellow peers, or that she had even met them before. She champions herself as a goddess of Mercy, releasing others from the burden of knowledge. She is often shunned and disliked by other gods, as she is just as troublesome as she is helpful. However, she doesn't really notice this, and often forgets about it anyways. Mortals only ever pray to her when they wish for something to be forgotten.

Would a Deva of Murder and Rage be classified as part Malum’s Ruination Dominion?

Broadside dead ahead!

No, this comment is not meant to be sarcastic.
