Divinity/Humanity OOC

[Canis Rex]

I'd be a little worried given how strong the Demi-gods are once fully grown, but it probably wouldn't make narrative sense for all the deities to have been around only long enough for one child/set of children to be born. So I'm willing to try so long as the older sibling doesn't become another main character since that would partially defeat the point of the rp.
As for their 'elderly' status, they are immortal age-wise. They grow to their physical primes and then remain that way, though things like eye/hair color might dull or wash out over time.

Name: Julia Lara
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Divine Parent: Myrcon
Inherited Ability: Shapeshifting, and not just various animals, but also different people and objects.
Background: On a warm and sunny day, a peasant was working in the field. Myrcon caught sight of him and liked what he saw, so he turned himself into a woman in order to seduce him. It worked, but led to the death of the peasant, and made Mycron unable to change back into his true form before labour. This annoyed the Deciever, so when the baby was born he abandoned it in the woods, to be eaten, or raised, by wolves (Myrcon didn't particularly care which). Luckily for the infant girl, the wolf pack opted for the latter.

One day, the pack attacked a band of travelling knights. The knights managed narrowly to fend the wolves off, and it was a close call for the girl as well - a sword had nearly ended her life. The knights brought her along back to their tower. She would from now on live among humans. The knights adopted her, named her, and took care of her. Their kitchen maid become like a mother to her, and they all her fathers. As Julia grew older, she became their page and then their squire.

Julia is now almost marriageable, and as a final rite of passage before being awarded full knighthood and be accepted as an adult, she's been given the mission to find the moon child. Her abilities and her dream vision will be of great help in that endeavour. She expects no help from her divine father - in fact, she isn't certain of her origin. The knights have speculated, and Myrcon's name has been brought up to discussion, but that's all there's to it.

Appearance: Pale white skin, bald. Wears a black cloak and a blindfold
Divine Parent: Eiryia
Inherited Ability: Those who make direct eye contact begin to lose their sanity
Background: No one knows who the parent was or what their occupation was, just that they were found with the child floating in a lake. He lived in a foster home until he was ten, at which point he was (somewhat correctly) accused of influencing the recent mental breakdown of several other orphans.
Since then, he's lived in a cave near the lake, where he only ever ventures out to gather food and water

No problem. I figure if everyone has a bit of a creative hand in the rp then we can all be more invested in it and enjoy it better.

1. Would Cygic be able to be symbolized by a pair of torches, a balanced scale, and an orb? Representing his light of knowledge stemming from rational and logical thought, his balanced decision process, and his abilities of prediction and foresight respectively?

2. Would it be ok if Cygic introduced Ants, Termites, Honey Bees, Spiders, Beavers, Raccoons, Corvids and WereRavens, Parrots, Dolphins, Octopi, and Elephants? Animals that seemed to have better problem solving skills than many.

3. What are your thoughts on Darcon creating Dogs, Wolves, Werewolves and Vultures? Since he has a wolf like form and has the domain of war so scavengers are likely around.

4. While the deities have abandoned the world, do you think they still have clergy and temples operating? Possibly either neutral parties, or with a view to help or hinder our characters? If there are any around that aren’t struggling to bad I could see some help in the form of temporary food or shelter. On the other hand I could see some more paranoid clergy having the view that descendants of their deity may be a threat to their position and thus try to hinder us.

Alright, finished up the app

Name: Polaris Darvin, known to her friends as Polly and as Thorn to some.
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5'1, slender build, heart-shaped face and bronze skin, with gray eyes and shoulder length silver-gold hair.
Divine Parent: Zimde, God of Music and Poetry
Inherited Ability: Her singing voice has a haunting, siren-like effect and those who hear it enter a suggestible state. She can play any instrument and cast some spells by singing. It's said that if she roasts someone hard enough via poem or song, blemishes can appear on their skin.
Background(This doesn't have to be long, just something of how and where they have lived growing up): Polaris was born to Anna Darvin, a lady-in-waiting of the Queen of Ayrtican and Zimde, who had taken the form of a traveling minstrel at the time. She was born in the palace, with the queen in attendance at her friend's bedside...but Anna unfortunately did not survive the birth, leaving Polaris an orphan. The queen decided to oversee the child's care in honor of her friend, placing her in the care of Harper Pluck, one of the palace's minstrels. From her adopted parent she received the name Polaris, the proper name for the North Star. It was clear from an early age that Polly had exceptional talent in music and poetry, with Harper eventually taking her on as their apprentice. She currently works as a palace minstrel and poet, earning the nickname Thorn from the scathing poems and songs she'd write about those who earned her displeasure as she "pricked holes in their reputations with her pen."

Finding the moon child could not only help their world, but think of the amazing ballads and tales such a quest could inspire! It could very well be her greatest work yet, firmly placing her in the bardic halls of fame.

Julia's conception sounds right out of Greek mythology(which I like) and is in-character for Myrcon. And as a general side note for everyone, interesting to see some of the kids be coming from nobility perspectives too. Julia is accepted.

1. Yes, that sounds like a nice design for him.

2. Also yes and is lore-accurate. Humans in Dystrairia have a lot of things that they do because the deities introduced them.

3. I could see it. They would make for good comrades, help with sick/wounded, and cleaning the battlefield afterwards.

4. They do, and many. People still cling tightly to their faith because the pantheon's role in human development has been extensively documented in every culture's history. So while details may be up for debate, everyone knows they were around and are responsible for much. As for how they interact with our characters, it will heavily depend on the clergy in question. Some hate the pantheon for abandoning them and would scorn or possibly even try to kill/control a confirmed Demi-god. Others believe humanity is rightly being punished for some offense and so would jump at the chance to pamper the kids to prove their devotion.

Also, I really like the enthusiasm and ideas going on.

Definitely a possibility, I don't know if their different social status will have any impact on their relationship though.

Kind of like Arthurian knight errands/hedge knights or even old German "Raubrittern" sometimes. But maybe that will make for a good song or poem?

Okay, time to throw my hat into the ring as well... Say if parts of the background don't work.
I might still go more into detail, too.

Application
Name: Saoirse O'Gwalchmei
Age: 13
Gender: female
Appearance: Athletic, muscular redhead girl, often covered in bruises, dirt or warpaint

Divine Parent: Liara, goddess of freedom, chaos, rebels

fun, love, hope, optimism, athletics, music, the poetry of nature, dawn, healing, practical skills, wine, the duality of sexuality and innocence, the will to live, birth, fertility, forgiveness, free speech, jesters and a couple of other things the clergy is split about. Most critics of her faith simply describe her by the domain of freedom, if they feel positive about her or by chaos and rebels if not ... or they go all the way an derogatory call her "Goddess of Anarchy"

Inherited Abilities:
1. Vitality: Saoirse is exceptionally tough even for a demi-god. She is also full of vigor and can fully exert herself in every action but still she never tires. She is immune to most natural poisons and diseases and highly resistant to supernatural ones possibly even black snow but she does not want to put that to a test because ... obviously.
2. Indomitable mind: As the daughter of a rebel goddess, her ability to resist or shake of mind control is exceptional, believed to be absolute (but then again she did not yet have the opportunity to test it against a full-blown deity or such).

Background (This doesn't have to be long, but it can be, I hope):

13 years and a few month ago, Liara manifested to her followers and held a little competition, as she used to do every few years or at least decades. Any man or woman could challenge her in basically anything - arts, crafts, knowledge, games. Sometimes she refused the most ridiculous challenges but most of the times she accepted. The price she promised was an intimate night but rarely ever did any challenger win.
This time there was one challenger, named Caith O'Gwalchmei, a knight and imposing man. As his challenge to the Goddess was one that the general crowd of challengers and spectators considered one of the most impossible, he had the right to go first. He had challenged Liara to a wrestling match and everybody knew that among all challenges, a physical competition with a divine avatar were the ones to never succeed. But Caith waived his right to go first and gave others the chance. For two days he just watched. Watched Liara. Watched as she defeated challengers in tricky games and challenges of obscure skills. Finally after 14 failed challengers and much celebrations surrounding the event, he stepped into the ring to wrestle Liara. She met him smiling. As they locked arms, she instantly realized, that he was strong, she could understand, how he could think he was the best wrestler there was, even if she had barely started to draw upon her power and could still hold her ground against him. Certain to teach him a lesson about the differences between gods and men, she tried to throw him down, when suddenly he surged in strength and almost countered her. She was joyfully surprised. She would have never imagined a mortal challenging a god and ... holding back. She decided to focus on her defense now and instead of taking offensive actions she waited what else he had planed. Thus she was prepared when he fainted a flaw in his technique only to explode in an even stronger burst of power than before and tried to throw her down with a sacrificial throw. But due to her patience (and divine strength and agility, obviously), she ended up on top of him and prepared to control his arms and pin him down.
As they were wrestling on the ground, she could feel his heavy breath, and hear his heart beating strong and fast. It was clear that now he was fighting at full power, no more holding back. She grappled his arm, when suddenly he whispered into her ear: "You have already lost. Because you want me to win." The audacity shocked Liara in a way, she had not experienced in a century. In a moment of confusion he seized her arm and a leg and rolled the two of them over.
Suddenly below him, the goddess prepared to draw another bit of her divine power when he once again whispered into her ear. "You know it. You know the price and that nobody else here is able to seize it. You want to lose to ME."

Liara's power ebbed down. She did not want to admit it but the way he tried to control her, full well aware of the fact that she could easily overpower him physically, yet confident in his ability to charm her to not do it ... It felt nice actually. She faked a little struggle against his grip but ultimately he got into a pin. Those in the audience who knew how to read a fight probably realized that she was intentionally throwing it but this did not cause them to celebrate Caith any less then the audience who really thought, a human had beaten a god in a match of wrestling when the referee counted the pin. And Liara? She had realized, that Caith's real challenge had been, that he would be able to surprise, impress and charm her, like no human had for several generations. And she gladly accepted her defeat on that playing field.

It was only after Caith had claimed his price and layed with Liara, that he talked about his true intentions. He carried an old guilt. A taint of evil, that no matter to what standards he held himself now, he could not balance out. She looked at his soul and saw it, too, a stain of guilt under the shell of virtue. And since he could not forgive himself, it was true, that for now he was bound for the Void. Thus it was no surprise when he told her: "I want to father a child of yours, and I want you to claim me as yours in purgatory in return." Caith truly was a champion of her faith, Liara realized. Threatened by Eiryia herself, he did not lose hope but had thought of a way to fight his fate. His request had not been unique. She had taken the life of willing lovers before, a child in return for a way to cheat Eiryia out of a soul for the Void. And none of the others had be as worthy of the deal as Caith.

Newborn, Saoirse was given into the care of the Stellarum Tripudium, a group of people who were something akin to an Holy Order among the (rather disorganized) followers of Liara. Their leader Kylie was herself an descendant of Liara's children, making her a great-grand-half-niece of Saoirse, despite being 33 years older. The Order's main missions were patronship of the arts, protection of politically prosecuted and speaking truth to power. However, despite their devotion to life as a concept, they knew, that to protect the innocent against tyrants sometimes required violence and thus they honed their martial skills, too, focusing on personal combat and asymmetric warfare. Thus, while Saoirse also got an education in arts and useful skills like writing and math, wilderness training and physical education did not fall short.
She was not treated much different then most other children in the care of the order, she did not have any more privileges, however she did have more duties, which was necessary to saturate her massive energy. In fact her childhood could easily have been overly strict and stressful if it had not been for the many holidays and celebrations, the Stellarum Tripudium celebrated throughout the year, teaching Saoirse that diligence gets rewarded, to enjoy life and to form friendships with the other children of her age. This all changed, when the gods disappeared and the monsters rose...

Liara had always been a very involved goddess in the affairs of the mortals. When she suddenly did not answer anymore and the prayers of her followers were the loudest, the Stellarum Tripudium changed the focus of their Order to find out why she and the other goods vanished and how to free her from whatever kept her off Dystrairia. Saoirse was still to young to be of any help but the disciples assumed, that she was their best connection to the goddess and continuing her education was more important then before. Fighting training was added to Saoirse's schedule. As the neighboring nations fell and the remote parts of Ayrtica that the Order lived in became more and more de-facto wilderness, Saoirse's wilderness skills had to be put to use, as she had to help the adults foraging supplies.
The great festival times were becoming increasingly rare. And ultimately, the young child was confronted with death, as some members of their Order did not return from their quests. Their resources faded while their new mission made little progress, while Saoirse became a teenager. Seeing the dire situation of the Stellarum, she stood up in a membership assembly and brought a new quest to the schedule: The conquest of her inheritance...

... but not that inherited through her mother, but that of her father. Throughout her childhood, the others had often talked of Caith O'Gwalchmei, a chosen of Liara who had been a loose affiliate of the Order himself. And a well-off knight, who had owned a massive estate with several attached cottages and over a hundred serfs, which, due to the absence of children, had fallen to his brother.
Saoirse demanded the Order's support to claim this inheritance and offered to make it their new base of operation afterwards. The decisive tone and great confidence convinced the others and they relocated to the fortified house of her father, known as Caer Gwain. Obviously Saoirse's uncle did not believe her claim to be Caith's daughter. She challenged him to a duel but when she won, he claimed she was using evil witchcraft. However, his house-guards did not stand a chance against the well-trained fighters of the Stellarum. Nevertheless she allowed him and his family to stay in the same building on the edge of the estate, that he had also lived 11 years ago, while Caith was still the head of the family.

The local Baron was more easily convinced, that Saoirse was indeed Caith's daughter and rightful heir and legitimized her annexation of Caer Gwain. With a base of operation, the situation for the Stellarum Tripudium improved. They filled their numbers with some of the (former) serfs, and secured the adjacent farms, protecting it from monsters and dotting the fief with little shacks for the farmers to seek refuge in, so they would not be as much at risk of getting surprised by black snow during their field-work.
Over the next years, Saoirse even made friends with her cousins and her grandmother, even though the relation to her uncle remained cold.
It had been two and a half years as Lady of Caer Gwain, Saoirse earned some respect by the order members and despite the young age they looked at her as one of their peers. Now she wanted to return to the previous main mission of finding out what happened to Liara, when the rumor of the moonchild reached them. And for some reason - some inner voice - Saiorse knew that this was more then a rumor.

I probably think they would’ve seen each other around at least and of course Polly has a ton of ballads about gallant knights that are dying to be sung.

I'd be happy to work out details with you if we should have them know each other from before.

[Cainesland]

There was an interesting rp recommendation online that might be neat to include with my character, and if anyone else wants to do the same.

I noticed some characters have longer backgrounds than others, but since our characters are fairly powerful I am considering proposing the inclusion of 5 optional rumours about our characters. Two good, two bad, one false.

That way our reputations have preceded us by a bit when we meet and there’s something to bite into in the first meeting.

What do you think?

I think that’s part of the idea. 2 good true things, 2 bad true things, and one false thing that is either good or bad.

Edit: The negative or bad rumours seem to be harder to come up with. I tried looking at Victorian urchin stories and Xanathars guide to everything for ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions though?

Updated information for Cygic

Cygic is usually represented as a man in his 60’s with grey hair and a grey beard. His symbols include a pair of torches representing his light of knowledge stemming from rational and logical thought, a balanced scale representing his balanced decision process, and an orb representing his abilities of prediction and foresight. When the deities were creating life on the planet, Cygic contributed by creating and introducing Ants, Termites, Honey Bees, Spiders, Beavers, Raccoons, Corvids and WereRavens, Parrots, Dolphins, Octopi, and Elephants. Animals that exhibit better problem solving skills than many others.

His followers usually follow him because of his association with areas such as: law, government, civilization, intelligence, wisdom, memory, insight, medicine, commerce, travel, foresight, infrastructure, technology, law enforcement, and battle strategy and tactics. While not necessarily the primary deity of each of these areas he does provide the thought process needed to achieve success in them. As the creator of Honey Bee’s, he is also associated with honey and therefore mead and sweetening food. Those that do not follow him for logic or reason or order may follow him because of his association with honey sweets or a beverage that temporarily limits ones reasoning.

Updated information for Darcon

Often depicted as a canine wielding two massive axes and tearing through a battlefield. Curiously painted as both the most violent yet most gentle deity at different times. When the deities were creating life on the planet, Darcon contributed by creating and introducing Dogs, Wolves, and Werewolves in his own image, as well as Vultures. The four animals are often represented as good comrades of Darcon, helping with the sick or wounded, and cleaning the battlefield afterwards. Many tales or works also have Darcon howling at the moon, causing much speculation over his relationship to Luria

Updated information for Treoir

Treoir is a minor god and one of the newer additions to the pantheon. Treoir is the deity of Shepherds, Council, and Song. He can be seen either as a Demigod or Human whose contributions to the world or acts were great enough to allow him to become a God. He is often represented as a Traveler and Raconteur. While Treoir does not have authority over Travellers and Raconteurs he has a close association to them.

One of the only known legends pertaining to Treoir is "The Tale of the Serpent and The Wayfarer", which lead to a celebration in an unknown Coastal Village called "The Festival of the Western Winds" wherein a figure possibly believed to be either Treoir or an incarnation of Treoir saves a village that had supposedly been forsaken by the Goddess of the Hunt for their Hubris. The Tale is said to possibly be one of the great deeds that possibly lead to Treoir's ascension to a God, similar to Hercules' Labors. The Tale only exists in the Oral Tradition, traded by travelers and musicians on the road and among those who have actually visited the unnamed village where the Festival still takes place.
