He's definitely evil. Not due where he is exactly. Maybe NE or CE.
In other news, I think he created a heliocentric universe in his intro story thing That should annoy Atheos to no end. :P
Err, if he does, Athos may Decree that the sun has more mass than the earth. Just sayin'
Thanks all. It's been an entertaining read so far and I look forward to boiling your lands and burning your children our future interactions.
Therien is definitely evil; I'm going to say Neutral Evil because he has a tiny bit more patience and cruelty than Chaotic Evil.
I'm still fairly new to the rules, so please let me know if I'm doing any of this incorrectly.
Also, please let me know how much you want me to limit the unpleasantness about to happen on the moon (for right now, it's just an inconvenience of constant light and shadow.)
Oh boy. You have done the only thing that can piss Tissari off. But nice to meet you regardless.
This should be fun. :)
I will speak up about 2 things.
1) Why is "The Sun" a legendary concept? What is the concept?
2) This is not an objection, merely bringing to awareness a precedent being set. Tissari used the cosmic decree to qualify for 2 domains. As I said ,I do not object, but this will set a precedent.
Finally,
WELCOME Therien! Any prospective enemy of the other Gods is a pawn friend of mine.
Yeah, I think that is where being new to the game is hurting me a bit. Would it maybe be a mundane concept and create land? or maybe just create land?
What is the concept?
Nuclear Fusion?:P
Well if it is nuclear fusion, then it is only an advanced concept
This might actually fall under a cosmic decree or some such, depending on the sheer power of the sun in question.
Also, that post got away from me a little bit, and I just blew through all of my AP. I'm glad that I did, because I had just enough to do everything I wanted, including ranking up with some fancy new domains!
...Now to have fun playing and waiting for the ability to do things again.
Well, I just handed you an opportunity to run away with your keyboard. :)
If you want me to play out anything more just let me know.
Rules time!
2) This is not an objection, merely bringing to awareness a precedent being set. Tissari used the cosmic decree to qualify for 2 domains. As I said ,I do not object, but this will set a precedent.
I'm definitely going to object. Allowing actions to apply to multiple domains (unless they're split up AP by AP) shouldn't be a thing, because it takes us down a really bad rabbit-hole of everyone trying to squeeze out the most domains, and because I'm pretty sure the rules (or at least the spirit of the rules) are against it.
Well if it is nuclear fusion, then it is only an advanced concept
Actually, nuclear fusion is explicitly given as an example of a legendary concept. A legendary concept is anything that can be used in battle to devastating effect.
I'd recommend treating the sun as either
A) Weave Plane (my personal preference) which can be used to make planet-sized objects,
B) Forge Land (3 AP, which can make moon-sized objects, if the sun is smaller, and orbits), or
C) A cosmic decree
EDIT: Create Land isn't an option, that only makes continents and islands.
Zakaz unless you cancel it, I will be turning your crested to stone.
Also, good call. i missed that in legend concept
Also
My suggestion is Weave Plane, perhaps combined with Nuclear Fusion, if Therien was serious about that.
And yes, I agree Cosmic Decrees, and other actions shouldn't apply to multiple domains, unless they are somehow very closely related.
Actually, I'm not even sure any Cosmic Decree should apply to domains.
You turning him to stone will tip me off to your existence so I'm good with it. :)
I think RAW Cosmic Decrees can apply to domains, but that's potentially up to debate. I might decree something about the sun at some point, but we'll need new AP first.
@Shess, you'd turn him to stone in the city *I* created?
Au contraire, according to One with Shadows, you will know that a god did it not specifically me.
@Aethos teehee Yep :)
That's true, but when I go around and ask everyone "did you do it" and they all go "uhhhh... No" there aren't many other conclusions I can draw. :)
So, I don't want to just spend ap and reverse the "stoning". How do people feel if I took that Crested statute and made a whole new race out of it instead, negating the Censure? That may be a bit more exciting.
But my beautiful statue I made just for Atheos :(
The statue is a lie. :P
Yeah uh... I'm watching the city right now, so uh... I think destroying objects is 0 AP, right?
So, I don't want to just spend ap and reverse the "stoning". How do people feel if I took that Crested statute and made a whole new race out of it instead, negating the Censure? That may be a bit more exciting.
But now it's a cool statue!
Hmm. Alright, that's actually quite fair. I'll go ahead and see if there are any other actions that can count towards Knowledge. Maybe the creation of the irtara themselves?
I'm gonna work on a lovely battle scene a little later on, detailing how the humans fought their last battle against the Cull, but as a point of interest since Shess has given me a gift, I don't think Aisha can actually use Abjuration at the moment--she's just a regular human. If raised even just to being a Hero she can do so, but right now she's been taught something she doesn't actually have the capability to use.
Just realized that the Cosmic Decree on humans learning magic might throw that rule out the window. Is that the case? Because I just realized that could have some big repercussions as we continue the game. I'm not against it, just suddenly realizing how deeply it'll impact some rules.
I'll go with weave plane for the sun then. I was joking about fusion.
It doesn't just apply to humans, it's all mortals. Any mortal can, with enough practice, become a mage. Raising a mortal to a hero means that they accomplish something impossible, so they Exalt instead and pretty much get super-powers. At least that's how I would interpret my own cosmic decree.
Also, please note the sun does not rise and set, just hides behind the moon. It doesn't move, any more than the moon used to.
Ok, I think my stuff so far could be described as follows:
5 AP Elemental mastery (plasma)
0 AP Alter land (reduced by Elemental mastery)
5 AP Weave plane (the sun)
1 AP Mundane concept: Hypocracy of the Gods
Leaving me at 4.
Hopefully that sounds right by folks.
Err, the moon is currently orbiting though.
Indeed. The moon now appears to be tidally locked between the Planet and a small sun. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Should I be spending ap on concepts like amphibianism and mamalian flight? I kinda feel like I should be
Howdy folks! and Happy Easter for those who celebrate!
Tiss' decree: Mortals, of any race, can learn magic. We have a few specific schools that have been created, but they seem to mean to be almost innate abilities(Spell-likes, if you will). I'll create true magic shortly.
Zakaz, that's going to get really silly after awhile. Even if you don't spend the points themselves(which, my rule would be anything like your suggestions would be reduced appropriately by Herald of Life), do you really wanna spend time(both in game, and in real life) listing out things like hibernation, pack tactics, molting, etc?
If you've created normal real world animals, they auto act/behave/posses anything they do in real life.
It's when you want to change or alter such things that you need to worry about AP. For example, if you wanted to give wolves a poison bite, or create flying scorpions, then you could spend AP, and even then, such would be reduced accordingly.
Sounds good. I was asking because I just created a tiger-like predator with dragon wings. Basically it's a good thing I took Herald because the Crested can get weird, especially if they've traveled a lot between metamorphoses.
Boy, it's easy to blow through points when you get started, eh?
Ya. You have to be careful or they'll be gone before you know it.
Hello everyone, this is your new God of Death reporting in! I'll kick things off soon enough in game, but I just wanted to introduce myself here. Azrael is also planning to look into the domain of Weather (specifically storms) and Healing to become a god of death and rebirth. My first actions will likely be to create the Shallows--where all dead souls come to be judged--and to decree something about all souls traveling through there before meeting their final resting place. Has anyone else made decrees about souls or the like so far, or am I starting fresh here?
What are souls and can I burn them?
Just kidding. I'm a newb m'self, but I don't think souls exist yet.
Just lots of life and death.
Tissara and Therien are going to dance a lot, I think.
It's funny, because I see kind of a one-sided archnemesis thing going on between Therien and Tissari. Like, Tissari actually appreciates destruction's role in creation, as long as there is a purpose to the destruction, but I have the feeling that Therien is eventually going to snap and try to kill Tissari because of her overly cheerful, "let's hug it out I don't care you're a giant burning ball of fire and hate" demeanor.
Therien will continue to push the boundaries of that thought process, using his destructive tendencies to create while finding creative ways to destroy. After all, he loves his mommy figure.
But he was born of the blood of ambition, and one day he may go too far for Tissara to allow him to continue.
Dancing on that line is my hope, at least for now.
Of course, his Thirdfathers' own natures stoke his ambition as well; civilization vs beasts, logic vs passions, denial of the gods vs. worship. These are all playgrounds for his Id and Ego.
Welcome Azrael! I'm excited to bring souls into this picture. A diety of death fits nicely into my plans into this group.
Hey Tissari, I created ambush/hit and run tactics already. Not that it cost you anything, but just letting you know they exist.
Therein, could you put your god's info in your profile for reference? If you would like an example, see the older god's profiles.
Lir, I could partner with you if you asked nicely to share the cost of some of that. :)
Nah, I'm good, I still have 2 AP left, I believe.
Aped, do you still intend to have Lir teach you some of his creations?
Profile has been updated. What week are we in now?
Yeah, Lir, that would be great! He may hold off on teaching them about swords just yet, but archery seems like an important and helpful step.
Also, just as a note, Tissari, Apedemak already created armor--it was part of my big spree of things. Not a big deal, and he'd be happy to share it as soon as he arrives--hopefully I'll have a post to respond to that, along with the humans' last stand, later today at some point.
Also also, as another note, I find it somewhat amusing that Zakaz hasn't come asking Apedemak about whether he attacked his Cull, even though Apedemak might have cause to do so with the Lion Tribe situation. Although they have an understanding of one another, so it makes as much sense that Zakaz would know Apedemak didn't do it--it isn't his style on really any level.
Wait for it... He'll be around. I only have so many shards. :)
