SEMI-DIVINE APP
Name: Bahamut
Deity: Musashi
Epiphet(s): the great dragon, dragon god Bahamut, Bahamut the wise, first of the dragons.
Personality: powerful, old, wise
Appearance: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/imag ... j&usqp=CAU
Background: to worship Musashi, Bahamut is the first of the dragon race
Equipment: just the armour you can see him wearing
Anything else: he can be easily turned into an evil and rampant monster

dragons are partly snakes (that's the equivalent of being able to influence them)

As I said he can easily be turned into a mindless killing machine

okay ok but you have to understand that while He is sane I can influence him.

SEMI-DIVINE APP
Name: Yaktsk
Deity:
Epiphet(s): "The Annoying", "The Blood-soaked"
Personality: Kind spirit which likes to burn things. If angered, becomes a maniacal lava demon which likes to burn things
Appearance:like a regular human, except it's hair looks like fire, and also acts like fire(i.e: moving around like fire, not burning things like fire)
Background: was born in a fire, doesn't remember why, probably just some joke by a god to create the most annoying being possible.
Equipment: can make fire appear out of hands, if angered can make spikes come out of the ground formed by lava being instantly cooled, and if *very* angry, will create Tsunami-like waves of fire.
Anything else: burns things

[Ovesa]

Somerania, I will have to consider your app more carefully. I am hesitant to approve a semi-divine that easily succumbs to episodes of bloodthirsty rage.

Conterale, interesting app. Sounds like a semi-divine Nymora would create. Remove the fire tsunami ability, and ask Bentus for their thoughts on your app.

SEMI-DIVINE APP
Name: Yaktsk
Deity:
Epiphet(s): "The Annoying", "The Blood-soaked"
Personality: Kind spirit which likes to burn things. If angered, becomes a maniacal lava demon which likes to burn things

He is usually kind and playful, if annoying, but when he is angered, then you might want to run. stories tell of a loyal devotee of his, whom was tortured to death too fast for him to stop it. In anger, he descended to the lands of the king whom did it, and wreaked havoc on his kingdom, burning and destroying, until he reached the king. In his rage, he brutally murdered the guards whom tried to stop him with spikes, before rechning the king, and slowly burning him.

Appearance:like a regular human, except it's hair looks like fire, and also acts like fire(i.e: moving around like fire, not burning things like fire), and his skin is very hot. When angered, his hair becomes dark-red, and his skin reaches temperatures upwards of 2000 degrees celcius.
Background: was born in a fire, doesn't remember why, probably just some joke by a god to create the most annoying being possible.
Equipment: can make fire appear out of hands, if angered can make spikes come out of the ground formed by lava being instantly cooled.
Anything else: poops fire

if i do become so,ething from Nymora, i might need to tweak my personality a bit.
I doubt "Kind but vengeful" makes sense when you compare it to "Sadistic and violent for the sake of it"

If you want, you probably could still go for a "kind but vengeful" approach. I could definitely see Nymora finding amusement in creating a creature with enough kindness to feel regret and horror at its own actions if it is also predisposed to violence and moments of blind fury. We could work on the background a bit though. How'd you feel about the story of him descending to get vengeance on the King being his origin? Maybe he was originally mortal but was forced to watch as a loved one was tortured by a mad King. In desperation he might have prayed to Nymora for the strength to punish the King, which she granted him. But she did so knowing that his own anger would lead him to go on to slaughter not only the King, but the whole royal household and palace staff. He'd have accomplished his revenge, but in the process would have sold his soul to the malevolent deity? (T'is just an idea, don't feel like you have to go for this if you don't want to!)

OP, did you check out my WIP app? we kinda need to talk about my character

[Ovesa]

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.

Accepted.

OP, did you check out my WIP app? we kinda need to talk about my character

She can be, like you stated, Adurja's mask; contacting mortals, comforting souls, and the like. While Corva typically does courier-type stuff, you can do all the neat, divine soul stuff. Also, accepted.

Dragons are part reptile

The truth is that creating a dragon in this is difficult because first of all, at least, I will be able to influence it. If you add fire or another ability you will have to deal with the rest of the gods

[Big Carencia]

I will try and make a map as soon as possible. Just a warning, it will probably have to be made in MS paint because I am having an immense amount of difficulty working with map softwares.

If anyone else would be interested in creating a map (made with any software) and sharing a link, I would be immensely grateful.

Have you ever tried https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/
In mozilla firefox (in the other search engines it becomes garbage)
Sample map

with this you only need to complete the nations (if you want an Earth type map with this you cannot do it)

[Main Nation Ministry]

Accepted.

I shall not have Crescita disappoint! I do some quick reading of the IC, then I can have Crescita manifest from some remnants of primordial ooze.

Hello y'all, today is the day I will attempt to create a map for our RP! Before I do so, are there any details anyone would like to share about their cities (location, etc.)? Or how they envisioned the continents of the Mortal Realm?

[Danubian Peoples]

Well, I think we should have one big Eurasia analogue for a continent, and have a bunch of our civilizations hosted there. There'll be a vast grassy interior (steppe) like I described in the Huotsipol posts, and some ciivlizations based around rivers, like they tended to be in real life. As for location, IRL the Eastern Mediterranean played host to many civilizations, as did the Yellow River in China. A bunch of polities sprang up in these places, and got up to lots of wars, trading, Bronze Age collapsing, etc. We could have an analogue to this, just have a bunch of civilizations occur in a general area.

Sparta's geography is mostly the same as Greece, so there's plenty of islands that are just off the mainland. Sparta can be on the coast of a sea or ocean.

Will you be including little inserts for important pocket dimensions or Aiuris?

It depends on what software I use, but if I can, I will add them.

I was thinking more of a medieval/fantasy-style Flat Earth. I can't imagine what continent Athens or the Crystalline Republic would be on, as they're not particularly forested or hilly, or even desert. Maybe they're more like plains, but the more you reach the Republic, you'd see alot of shrubbery.

Very far away is a hill or a mountain, and an ocean with a bunch of islands (where Jenna's currently at) though this part's cold (so probably a Taiga or Tundra), I just guess that geography in this world would be very weird.

[Union Princes]

I'll try to finish my app in the near future. Kinda busy with online summer class.

[Ovesa]

Sorry guys, but starting Friday I will be less active on NS for a few weeks because I am in the process of moving houses. I don't know how often I will be able to post (1/day minimum), but I'll still try and keep up to date on what's happening.

[Union Princes]

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:

Background: Although Corva was the messenger for Adjura to communicate with the other gods, the Goddess of Death needed an entity to carry her will over the mortal realm and to reign in the Aureolas.
Equipment: Halo of pure silver, a set of body armor forged out of a heavenly metal found inside a fallen star, and a Book of the Dead.
Anything else: As Adjura's Mask, Eulalia takes the form of a young feminine human figure in order to put mortals at ease when conversing. However, she is still Adjura's primary enforcer and has the power to dispel anyone who displeases her or Adjura.

Organization App
Name: Cult of Adjura/Cult of Death/Hekaten Society
Type: Religious order, Witch Covenant
Rules:

1. No witch shall incite revenge to other witches; all grievances will be resolved by the Supreme Sorceress and if unsatisfied, the grievances can be taken to Eulalia or Adjura

2. All witches must dictate their lives to the worship of Ajura and guard the sacred art of witchcraft

3. Necromancy is a forbidden art; all witches are morally obliged to see to the removal necromancers immediately when encountered

4. Memories are sacred; all witches, when given the opportunity, must preserve a person's memories from erasure.

5. A Witch's duty must care for the graves near her home or upon her journey. The mortals must be ensured a safe and peaceful final resting place.

History: There are two things guaranteed in life: death and taxes; and through Adjura's orders, Eulalia was sent to the mortal realm to enforce the former. Mortals always feared death and some are defiant enough to cheat death with whatever means necessary. To prevent an imbalance between the living and the dead, Eulalia, through charisma and manipulation, gathered and trained 13 young girls to be the world's first witches with the 13th acolyte promoted to Supreme Sorceress.

Unfortunately, the Cult of Adjura was widely feared and unloved by many and no amount of diplomacy or seduction did by Eulalia could prevent the ostracization of Adjura's witches. Driven underground, the witches of the Hekaten Society had to conduct their research and worship in strict secrecy. Since only women can join, widows and orphaned girls are viewed with great suspicion by societies. Ironic, since the oppression by their communities will only drive the girls further into Adjura's embrace.

Currently, the Cult of Death exists far and wide thanks to Eulalia's pilgrimage yet it also transcended into myths and legends to scare young girls into obedience by their parents. To prevent a witch hunt, witches have to maintain their identities secret while candidates would have to go through trials that would last for months and years before being accepted into the Hekaten Society. Only the most diligent witches in mastery witchcraft could receive a blessing of Eulalia and be granted powers of Adjura. Only then would the most devout will walk the earth being one of the most power sorceresses that ever lived.
Current Leader: Supreme Sorceress Delias
Anything else: Adjura's witches are stereotyped as notorious for being one of two appearances: an ugly and repulsive woman in a wicked league of demons or a beautiful and attractive young woman whose wickedness is beyond a demon's. In reality, the Cult of Adjura is more isolationist in its dealings as they are internally focused on studying witchcraft and worshipping Adjura.

also, both discord links are expired.

GOD APP
Name: Yvrashr
Epiphet(s): The Bloodmouthed, The Protector of Roads
Domain(s): Sun and Travel
Personality: He is the embodiment of the sun. Unlike, say; Apollo, whom is the sun god, Yvrashr is literally the sun, and his personality is reflected by the sun. Sometimes he is pleasent, like a pleasant summer day, not too hot but not too cold, sometimes he is maniacal and cruel, like a scorching hot sun in a drought, and sometimes he is sleepy and tired, such as in the winter. He posesses the ability to be able to be in multiple places at once, although these versions of him act different at different points of the year. Sometimes, when he is in his "scorching" phase, he demands blood sacrifice. When his followers die, they enter a land where the sun always shines pleasantly, which cannot be harmed by him.

Appearance: He looks like a giant-sized human, wearing a simple cloth tunic and pants, however his head is a sun; as in it looks like the sun when you see it from earth, except with eyes, a head, and other facial features.

Equipment: A scimitar, which is extremely yellow, and it's temperature is based on his mood, when he's pleasant it will usually reach 100,000,000 degrees celcius, when scorching, it can reach up to 1,000,000,000 degrees, and when slumbering or sleepy, cools down to 150,000 degrees.
