There's still plenty of options to choose from, and if you need help with anything, Bentus and I will be happy to help.

Trying to think... though I'm tempted to try to make Clockwork a domain, if that helps.



You could be a wider god of the forge/industry too! Thats pretty different from our existing stuff, and as your character grows and figures more out clockwork could become a cire domain he freates, even.

Isn't there already a god that has a domain similar to industry?

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn.

Heya UP. Death a a domain probably won't work since it's already taken by the OP's char. They may let you play as a semi-divine if you'd like, but you might want to spitball some alternate domain.

There's Voion, the God of Prosperity, Commerce and Trade. He's RPd by Minskiev if you want to discuss any potential conflicts with them, though I'd think that industry and forge are pretty distinct from a more merchant/wealth focused deity!

double darn, not even an angel of death would work as a semi-divine? that's what I was going for anyways since the god of nonbelief is a no-go.

Well, my god already has a messenger char, but I'm sure we can think of something else your char can be. Adurja already has
• A messenger
• Someone to judge souls
• A ferryman
• Some angel-type species

Maybe you can be leader of the Aureolas (angels)?

Probably not since Ovesa already has that covered. You'll probably be more of a servant or "right hand man".

Voion is more of a god that's focused on finance and wealth. Though the domain of Progress apparently overlaps a bit with Prosperity.

Hm, it would definitely depend on the interpretation since they're certainly similar. I could see Progress being more inline with Change, which can often be destructive and violent, whereas Prosperity could at times be static if the times are already good. For instance, if you're always prosperous then there's less incentive for innovation and novel creations, whereas a bit of struggle encourages progress that could (maybe only in the short and medium term) lead to a reduction in prosperity? Though if it is an issue, do you think there's anything else you could switch it out with? Maybe mining? Or - if Miniskev's willing - you guys could talk about Voion switching Prosperity w/ Wealth and then allowing your char to take Progress?

That's an interesting opportunity, your god is creating a bureaucracy for the afterlife. I suppose I'll consider it.

Innovation is bit too similar to Voion's and I think Telsa's domain. I can just remove that, but keep in progress, since it can still be linked to the clockwork motif.

WIP

SEMI-DIVINE APP
Name: Eulalia
Deity: Adjura
Epiphet(s): The Mouth of Adjura, Adjura's Mask
Personality: Warm and welcoming, Eulalia is very approachable to mortals. She is easily intrigued by their way of life and given her human appearance, the angel is usually called upon by curious individuals for advice or comfort being transported to the afterlife.
Appearance:
Image

Background: (why were they created?)
Equipment: Halo of pure silver, a set of body armor forged out of a heavenly metal found inside a fallen star.
Anything else:


Alright, since I've decided to take up on that offer, I guess we can figure out how and why my character was created and her purpose in the underworld bureaucracy

GOD APP
Name: Crescita
Epiphet(s): The Clockmaster, Golem of Metal, The Waterwalker,
Domain(s): Growth, Man-Made Creation, Industry, Clockwork
Personality: Crescita is often the ambitious type, however he has an obsession for passion and attention to detail. He isn't a malicious god, though he will allow inventions or items of death or destruction to be created, though he will still intervene if things go too far. He possesses some emotion, though he doesn't really show any to those who embrace or worship him. Even if he lets those who see him as a god create a temple for him, he will become focused on other things that he sees as importance.
Appearance: Originally, he was a humanoid figure that was made entirely out of stone, carved with small symbols and glyphs. Currently, he is a glass humanoid figure, who is made to resemble a hollow homo sapien (or a human for short). His body is filled with pipes and stone-made mechanisms that sends water throughout his body, acting as blood in a circulatory system with a tiny wooden water wheel acting as a heart.
Equipment: A random assortment of metal and stone scraps that have been made to resemble multiple shapes, a toolbox of an ancient assortment of tools, a glowing clock gear.
Anything else: Crescita's appearance is meant to change throughout his presence to reflect on the overall technology range that's current IC. He does have some powers that he uses to help influence species that are able to create or function as a society as a whole. He would pick someone within a species that is suitable to bring about change that is necessary for the advancement of progress and growth (pretty much hence some of his domains), and usually either appear directly towards mortals in visions or physically to have them bring about new creations that would change things for the better or worse. However, Crescita would mostly subminally add an idea to one's mind, though he will use the former two if he needs to intervene.

I edited the domains around, so that Crescita has a bit of Hephaestus vibes.

Sorry for any mistakes I make with regards to history while roleplaying in historical RPs. Also I am not a qualified historian or academic. None of the make-believe I do is likely to stand up to academic scrutiny.
