Be a bit awkward to double-post. I could edit my current one and stay out of Holt if it helps.

You're fine, I was waiting on Shailreeni but I'll respond by tommorrow if he doesn't post.

[Fahran]

I'll try to post today. I was sick over this weekend and am still recovery, but I have some decent ideas for the introductory post.

[Trivolia]

Just posted! Sorry it took so long

[Of the Quendi]

Better late than never.

[Fahran]

Better late than never.

You know me. I'm always late. I've been writing short 1000 word posts to get back into the groove of things. I'm hoping my introductory post'll be around 2000 words and will bring a bit of my old flamboyance to the story. That said, my writing feels too campy these days. I should revive Sano and have him glower at everything.

[Arasi Luvasa]

Again, I am trying to prepare for exams. I will try to make a post this week though. I'll be done with exams by the 19th though.

More like Bronze Age, but its not that important I think. As long as people don't invent steam engines or try to launch nuclear missiles against one another I am flexible with regards to mortal development.

Has a day even passed IC? I remember I could barely keep up with the time frame in the other rps.

Probably not, it probably varies by deity to deity how long time has passed. Yeah my RP may be moving along rather sluggishly but if the alternative is the lightning speed of so many other deity RP's then I prefer tortoise mode.

[Trivolia]

Also in my post i only aknowledged two of the gods, thats my mistake, as there is a other, so all in all four of us are here.

[Triassica]

NS name: Triassica
Deity name: Yxarus, The Great Anarch
Gender: Male
Generation: Younger
Abode: Underworld
Domain(s): God Of Chaos, Madness, Misfortune, Trickery and Deals
Function(s): First off Yxarus is the embodiment of the primordial chaos that existed long before the Universe as we know it. Hateful of order he is bent on bringing the whole universe into a chaos of Pandemonium where the laws of reality break down into meaninglessness. His chaos is already woven into the fabric of reality by his Great Rebellion at the beginning of time. Second, Yxarus is the direct cause of most of a mortal's bad luck in life and all the terrible things that happen in the world. The sort of things that go wrong without rhyme or reason are his doing just for kicks. Plagues, disasters and wars are often of his doing. Third, he sees the mortals as mere playthings and loves pulling pranks on them, no matter how deadly, or madness inducing, they may be. Nonetheless, Mortals still seek him out to end their suffering by making deals and contracts with him. With sadistic glee in his trickery, Yxarus grants their wishes, but with monkey paw like consequences depending on the nature of their deals. Often time he takes from mortals as much as he gives, even taking their souls hostage till they fulfill whatever end of the bargain they agree to.

Appearance and attributes: Yxarus takes on many forms in his encounters with humans. His shapes have ranged from normal animals to total eldritch abominations. However, his most "common form" when making deals with humans, is that of a tall slender man with an eyepatch, a top hat and a yellow suit with a bowtie.. His "true form" is that of a huge, dark being with six arms, three eyes, glowing bow tie and a top hat.
History and background: When reality was created and order brought forth to the universe, the chaos that came before did not go away. Instead, it gained a consciousness of it's own by work of creation and that consciousness took shape in being. When that shape took being, it saw the order in the universe and choose to rebel against it, declaring himself, The Great Anarch, wrecking much havoc, and putting much chaos into the fabric of reality. Others followed it his cause and a great war broke out for all of Creation.

The other Gods put a stop to his led rebellion along with countless followers and chained them down beneath the Earth. Thus, The Great Anarch and his cohorts became among the earliest inhabitants of the underworld. During the rise of humans, Anarch was freed from his prison, but was still bound onto the Earth, unable to worsen the damage already done to the universe. Thus, the God brought his attention to the humans, toying with them through great tragedies and misfortunes of his own making that brought madness. To his amusement, however, mankind made cults in his name, naming him "Yxarus" and begged him to cease his cruelty. Taking advantage of the situation for fun, Yxarus began making contracts with humans to "undo" their turmoils in return for something of their own and often with unfortunate monkey paw side effects.

Personality: The three things that can define Yxarus are chaotic unpredictability, unyeiliding cruelty and unadulterated narcissism. He looks down upon humans as mere playthings to be used and toyed with for mere amusement. Yxarus finds it especially ironic that the human race keeps coming to him to make deals undoing the tragedy that he himself have caused and ravished in it. To him, human misery and madness is profit, and works hard to make such profit with labor of love. Yxarus hates boredom and predictablity in life, always in the flow of things and excited for new experiences. The Chaos God puts such pleasures in twisted fashion upon the human race. Even more so, he finds Order Deities, like Hishar and Kirsin to be the most boring in the universe. Yet in ironic twist he cant help but love the chaos Hishar, and other gods like her, causes to enact what they considered to be Order or whatever domain they hold.
Other: He is self aware of his own fictionality and human cultures throughout time and space. Yxarus also holds dominion over a place called Pandemonium and Fortress called Bedlam. In reflection to his insanity, they both utterly warped and beyond sane human comprehension.

Thanks. A good way to start?

Jump into the fray at the Holk situation perhaps? Whatever you like.

[Trivolia]

Rly hope this picks back up

[Joohan]

Could I app as a man? A kind of prophet character, akin to Asohka or Muhammed?

[Fahran]

It should eventually.

[Of the Quendi]

Rly hope this picks back up

Me too.

Could I app as a man? A kind of prophet character, akin to Asohka or Muhammed?

Sure, but a prophet presumably would need a deity so why not app as that as well?

[Tasuirin]

Eh, I've been interested in this since I saw it a while back, but I don't have lots of examples of RPs I've been involved in. If I wait too long, I feel that the RP would develop far beyond any point at which I can catch up. Would this be a good enough sample of my RP'ing abilities, or should I sit this one out? I do enjoy deity RPs, certainly...

[Tasuirin]

Ah, screw it. I'll app anyway.

NS name: Tasuirin
Deity name: Kirsin
Gender: Neuter
Generation: Younger
Abode: Celestial Realm
Domain(s): Force, motion, will, power (political and military), potential.
Function(s):

Kirsin is sometimes referred to as 'the Great Mover', as well as 'Defender of the Laws of Physics'. Though not the first mover in any sense, Kirsin governs the exertion of natural forces upon objects and between objects. Any force of motion or interaction is deemed to be either initiated or overseen by Kirsin, though this is not limited to physics. Kirsin is also the god of mortal will, that being the drive to achieve one's ambitions, as well as political and military power and the exertion of that upon one's enemies. While Kirsin does not govern the actual wars fought by mortals, they are present in the building of forces in the lead-up to a war, and the threats of one's power upon their enemies. Finally, Kirsin is considered the god of potential, with mortal potential being their main sphere. Kirsin does not favour the rich or famous, but the ambitious, and those with the potential to enact the greatest changes upon their finite world within their lifetime. Hence, Kirsin is sometimes seen as the patron of conquerors, revolutionaries and inventors, though this patronage also inspires a certain amount of disloyalty, or even madness, as many of the most ambitious are the ones who would wish themselves to become gods. Kirsin, however, does not care for the perceived silliness of one's ambition as long as they wish to see it to completion.

Appearance and attributes:

Kirsin has been portrayed as a humanoid figure, almost exclusively tall and imposing, wearing heavy golden armour and shrouding their face, with only deep red eyes being seen amongst the blackness covering their face. However, in many portrayals, Kirsin is shown to be an amorphous red light known as 'the Zoraz', space distorting around them as they pass by. Kirsin sometimes carries a large golden shield when they are seen in humanoid form, but this is not always the case. Kirsin's face is such a deep darkness that it is sometimes hypothesised not to exist at all, and staring into it has sometimes been the cause of madness to mortals, though to others, the void is inspiring, which is what Kirsin would intend.

History and background:

Kirsin was formed in the earliest days of the Younger Gods. From their earliest days as merely a spirit, a soul of incorporeal nature in an endless cosmos, the being which would become Kirsin found an interest in the mechanisms which governed matter within the cosmos. How it all perfectly fit together, how matter danced with itself and how even the smallest shift in the laws of physics would send the current order into disarray. Kirsin conceived of the power that control over the natural forces would bring. The power of destruction and creation at their control. It was truly inspiring to them. As such, Kirsin's ambition began, and it would only grow throughout their infinite lifetime. Upon being given power by the Elder Gods, Kirsin formed for themselves a body of pure force, dangerous to all matter which approached it and frightening to those who could see it from afar. This body Kirsin named 'the Zoraz', and for millennia, this was Kirsin's only form. However, Kirsin could not approach the creations of other deities, as the sheer fact of their form made them dangerous to everything that had been created, possibly even to the cosmos itself. Kirsin was sent away, forced into seclusion. It was there that, in the light of a dying star, Kirsin created the first black hole, an entity of pure gravity, a manifestation of Kirsin's rage. Kirsin knew that if the other deities would not accept them near their creations, then Kirsin would be the one to destroy creation itself. Perfecting this recipe of total destruction, Kirsin readied themselves for the destruction of the universe.

However, as they drew closer, they realised what many other Younger Gods had become interested. Life had emerged, on one planet, orbiting one star, amidst the unlikeliest of circumstances, and just as the other Younger Gods had started to observe this life, Kirsin themselves also began to observe it. They found it quite beautiful, almost as beautiful as the physical world and its great mechanics. But while many were focusing on the fact of this life, Kirsin focused on the nature of it. Each creature that was alive had a certain sense of agency over its actions, and this agency it exerted over others, and every exertion of agency interacted with others, causing a cascading effect similar to their own sphere of the physical world. As such, Kirsin forged themselves another body, this time one of matter, or at the very least matter-like in appearance, similar in many ways to the life that existed on the planet. Kirsin wasted no time in rejoining the other Younger Gods, and while they were certainly bitter about being cast away and with the ambition of overtaking them all in time, they joined in on the observation of these young beings taking their first steps into the world.

Kirsin took up the mantle as Defender of the Laws of Physics, overseeing the physical properties of matter and the ways it acts with itself and other forms of matter, and made the Zoraz into a less dangerous manifestation of their body. Intrigued with the way in which other deities began to interact with the beings below, Kirsin set aside some beings, giving them agency over force itself to a degree. These beings would become known as Dynamancers, and their interactions with the forces of the world would often cause Kirsin great amusement. Kirsin found them limited in scope and ambition, preferring the course of peace over warfare. As such, while Kirsin would continue to bestow the forces of Dynamancy upon many, they changed focus somewhat towards those with ambition, drive, motivation and will. These people would sometimes become great conquerors and warriors, impacting the world greatly, and Kirsin enjoyed watching the changes they would inflict upon the world taking hold.

During the great infighting between deities, Kirsin's ambition remained largely hidden and illusive. Kirsin knew that to realise their aim of superseding all of the Younger Gods, they could not align with other Younger Gods. However, at one point, Kirsin's Dynamancers were involved in a war with the followers of other gods, and so Kirsin supported them in the war, fighting in the heavens as they fought on the planet. Kirsin became a resident of the Celestial Realm when the realms were divided by the Elder Gods, still creating black holes as time continued to tick onwards. Many of the Dynamancers continued to live without the influence of Kirsin, and became a secular order of mages, focusing on manipulation of forces and their application to science. However, Kirsin continued to influence those with ambition to do great things, and continued to enjoy watching as the mortals fought amongst themselves and impacted their planet to greater and lesser extents.

Personality:

Kirsin is calculating and logical, but with an enjoyment of that which causes the greatest effect upon surroundings. Just like one who enjoys playing with dominoes would enjoy pushing down the first one, Kirsin enjoys creating or inspiring ambitious people to have great impact upon the world on which they live. Kirsin's personality mirrors that of their followers in many ways, as they are a very ambitious deity, wishing to become greatest amongst the Younger Gods. Kirsin's rage manifests itself in an almost rabid application of force upon the universe, such as Black Holes and gravity wells.

Other: Kirsin is generally lonely, though since their exile, they consider this to be by choice. However, perhaps with some form of acceptance, they would cease this loneliness and join in fully with the Younger Gods.
