1) Have someone take over for Dhemtar (although I generally dislike this option cause it's difficult to maintain the same character personality across RPers)
2) Find someone to remove him IC (like a death)
3) Cancel the RP altogether and either reboot or do a different

Thoughts?

I would like 1 the most but unwilling to be the person to take on the role will vote for three.

Plus a reboot gives me the chance to try different angles with Setsa; especially since the setting Is Earth with different gods.

Plus I did build her around other player created characters so second time around may lead to different background.

I do need to ask if her role as 'mother of all serpents' will be an issue.

I'd prefer to keep this one going otherwise it feels kind poor losing all that progress. But on the other hand, I can't exactly play both Minerva AND her opposition so...

Just received confirmation that Rykil is definitely out. So option one is only possible if someone can fill the role. But most of us talking here are already putting a lot into our own characters and juggling more than one prominent character is difficult to. Option 3 seems more doable unless someone steps up. Thoughts?

My vote stands for option 3. While it will undo the progress of Minerva I think that will be of benefit. Minerva is already a force too powerful to take on. Like most, including those who have left- I see her as daunting. The ability she wields makes it so that no matter what is brought against her she will 'innovate' a solution. Effectively rendering her invincible. As such even if we kept going she'd be destined to win making the experience one difficult to enjoy. It's hard to figure out how to loose in a fun way except by making your own character very bad so you can actually as a player celebrate Minerva's victory.

Reboot will allow me to have Setsa more involved in the world rather then a being who has been a recluse. Something important to me is being on even footing with the others and I certainly don't want to become the next Minerva. Just someone who isn't going to be kicked around like laundry.

Would it be possible for me to make a god that is king over hell or somewhere beyond Unera? Maybe something like a Deva of Eternal Suffering?

I'm not entirely sure if you are attempting to throw shade at Minerva as too weak or too powerful. Maybe I'm just tired but does it not seem like I'm seeing contradicting posts? In one you're saying she's OP, in another, you're saying she's useless....

In case anybody is confused though as to how powerful she actually was, Dhemtar probably could have just personally swatted her dead like a hand does a fly if it came to one on one combat. Letting her gather her resources/support for a war of ideology is among the worst strategies one could do to a character who thrives when they are allowed time and breathing room to set up advantages.

Second of all, Minerva alone would have likely lost soundly if she failed to gather the right kind and amount of allies like she was staring to, so Minerva's so called "inevitable" victory would have been one of levying allies in battle as opposed to tinkering up inventions through it like implied.

I vote for reboot it will allow more things to be added such as the Mysterious 5th Pantheon allowing more players I to the RP. As such a better background could be built it was already good, but it could be made better, like how the Gods created the world, and holy places or temples that Gods have in the Mortal realm. Although I don’t really like losing the progress made, I feel like a reboot would be good. It would also allow Janik and Phobo respectively to have a better background as well. And by the way every God is powerful or else they wouldn’t be gods. Each has their domain, a domain could have a potential advantage over another domain, but every God in their own right is powerful.

I'm still saying she's OP. That I would rather be on even footing then uberman that drives others away with her power. I then proceeded to reference how Setsa was pounded and battered by near on everyone without much of a struggle on her part.

Exterminator As someone playing another Deva and not a Titan the idea of her not being able to devise some new war machine to personally take someone out is downplaying her capabilities. Even if it came down to her destroying everyone else and then being swatted by Dhemeter it's still not something enjoyable to experience. Honestly I can't imagine her not building 'Mecha-Mongoose'. If you as a player however gave players a chance to destroy Mecha-Mongoose or what ever else can be a personal Exterminator analogue before completion- well it's going to be much more of a joy to us. Having a chance and failing, that's different then 'sudden death'- we got to try and tensions now rise- something Hyztlet (Endem) didn't have the opportunity to do. But Minerva literally raised an army in less then a day- what other deity has such power? Setsa for example has no worshipers in the divine plane- she's not a titan with a realm. She wouldn't be able to just 'spawn snakes' instantly. It takes time to nest and even then what god would put up with her having a brood in the divine plane? Heck, she'd be reluctant even if Atlanatos commanded her to spawn an army- it's her children after all and she's rather protective of motherhood.

This RP seems very interesting, here is my app:

Name: Malum (more commonly called the "Demon King" by mortals)
God of: Sin, Suffering, Damnation, and Demons
Titan or Deva? Deva
Powers and Abilities: Can control demonic creatures and entities, can tempt mortals into sin against other gods, king over Hell and those sentenced to burning and can do as he pleases with them, can cause mortals suffering in a variety of ways, can possess mortals should he desire, but this is rare.
Appearance: He can manifest in a variety of forms, but he mostly stays in this one: A skeletal ram head with a red glow emanating from the eye sockets, wears a dark red and black robe, and his hands appear to be thick-scaled, five-digit reptilian hands, and wears black cloth for footwear. In his battle form, he is a thick-skinned beast, 120 feet tall, and possesses a somewhat human head in terms of shape and has ram horns protruding from it. He has six arms in his battle form and a massive, segmented tail. He can shape shift to look like a mortal or an animal.
Short Bio: Malum is a rather unpopular god and only worshipped by small cells of cultists around the mortal world. He is the god who makes the most frequent entries into the mortal world and is usually from summoning, to possess someone, or to lure mortals into sin against other gods. In extremely rare cases (only 2 so far), he has come to wage war on the mortal world in order to bring it under his demonic control, and has failed both times due to intervention from other gods and a fierce fight put up by humans. He is King over Hell and sits on a throne that seems to be comprised of flowing blood and the projected faces of the damned, and he commands demonic creatures. He can command the damned to do his wishes and he often frees them temporarily to spread his worship in exchange for not suffering damnation, but still being bound to hell as a demon. As long as he refrains from transgressions against other gods, he is free to do as he pleases and the other gods leave him alone. He is usually worshipped through summonings and human sacrifice. His worshipers and prophets teach reverence of hellish deities and refraining from worship of any other gods.

Only Titans are the heads of Pantheons hence you can’t be a Deva and a Titan at the same time. Other than that interesting god and well wait to see what the OP says since were in the middle of a possible reboot of the RP.

Well actually if you might recall Arkel and Hyztlet both had minions popping up out of nowhere and Nosso conjured stars out of nowhere and flung them around like nobody's business. The armies she created could be beaten even by another Deva without too much difficulty, nevermind having a star flung at them so slow your roll sour grape.

Also, I don't know if you have even been watching but I had mentioned that Leviathan could have beaten Exterminator if the right actions were taken in battle and I most certainly did not just have Leviathan instakilled like you seem to suggest. I gave Leviathan a fight and a chance and time to come up with some flaw in Exterminator to exploit and etc. Don't know what the heck your issue is but I can prescribe you a single chill pill taken orally once a day til the symptoms subside.

Alright, maybe I'm a bit 'hissy' and unnecessarily looking for someone to blame for the mass exodus and given as complaints revolved around Minerva she fit the criteria of 'a factor to blame'.

The issue is that only Titans have a realm- such as your character's 'hell'.

Name: Una

God of: Soft Whispers

Titan or Deva? Deva

Powers and abilities: Can float weightlessly in the air, and cause others to hear whispers or share whispered words with others regardless if they are her own or not. She can also influence emotions of others in the form of gentle push, meaning she cant directly force an emotion upon a person, but she can subtly implant it with care. She can perfectly remember any secret whispered in her presence, and can form empathetic links between others. She can also dissolve into the wind if attacked.

Appearance(image if possible):

Image

Short Bio: Known usually as a Goddess of secrets, she is unique in fact that she also is sometimes considered a goddess of love, compassion, or deceit and sometimes serves as a messenger goddess. She is always soft spoken, and has never raised her voice even when angered. However, she normally keeps to herself, and usually avoids the politics and meanderings of her peers unless asked. Mortals pray to her when they wish to share their hearts or secrets with someone.

I think a reboot is in order. So the current IC and OOC will be abandoned and I'll create a new one. Perhaps now that we've done it once, I have a better idea how to go about it and some of the background and setting can be better defined. Give me just a little time to get it up! Everyone will be asked to repost their apps in the new OOC.
