[OOC] Gods: A Deity Roleplay (High Casual, Low Advanced)

[Yennefer]

you two decide and let me know. lol

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Obscene Symphony All three overlap anyway.

[Obscene Symphony]

@Shadow Daedalus Maybe instead of War and Murder, you could think of other things associated with Death? For example, the Greeks had two gods of war - Athena, who represented the thoughtful and strategic side of war, and Ares, who represented the raw rage/passion of warfare. They also had two deities of death (whose names escape me) one had the cruel, painful side of death and the other presided over the peaceful side of death/relief of suffering. Maybe you can do something like that.

It's worth noting that in most classical theologies, gods had overlapping domains, so it's not really imperative that there be one and only god for a concept - especially because that concept is likely more complex than is normally represented in a deity, who are normally quite clearly driven (for example, having 2 greek gods of war because war has two distinct and fairly opposite aspects).

(If you're interested in overlapping deities, there are also Hera and Aphrodito, who both have the domain of love - Hera presides over monogamy and marriage and whatnot whereas Aphrodite presides over lust and passion)

Did I mention I'm taking university Classics? I'm a bit of a nerd about this stuff XD

@Obscene Symphony@Yennefer@MonkeyBusiness

I've decided to leave it where it lie and let Monkey take Death as his domain. on reflection, I've got too many RPs on the go and this whole debacle makes me feel like a petulant child. The God concept is something I'd love to do, but I simply don't have time. as such, I bid you all good night, It's 3am and I should really be asleep by now.

PS, Glad to see someone else as passionate about ancient mythology as I am, we're a rare breed

@Shadow Daedalus

Aw, that's a shame. Good luck with your other RPs!

[LancerOfBlue]

Since we're all shouting out domains, I'll like to say that I'm going to take a stab with the Murder domain with a subdomain of Knowledge and perhaps something else! Hope I don't disappoint with whatever comes out~

[Yennefer]

@LancerOfBlue Knowledge is a main domain and claimed. Murder you have already claimed and I have you listed for.

[Yennefer]

We need some more ambition for that throne! Everyone is neutral!

[LancerOfBlue]

@Yennefer
Okay thanks!

On the side note, Snapples! That wasn't on the Interest Check :P Okay! I'll change the Knowledge thingy to something else then

[Obscene Symphony]

Whoever wants to play Death and War: We should team up and rule the gods as the four (three? I'll handle Famine) horsemen of the apocalypse XD

EDIT: Also if anyone is interested in fleshing out their god further, I'm putting a section in my sheet called "Associations" full of things that my god is associated with, but does not necessarily preside over as a domain. I feel like something like that would be useful to a lot of you!

[MonkeyBusiness]

@Obscene Symphony So with Shadow pulling out, I will reclaim Death as my own. You have my interest in an alliance.

[Obscene Symphony]

@MonkeyBusiness
YEAH
(actually if you're Death then I'd like to talk to you about some relation stuff, but I'm currently going to bed so I'll PM you in the morning ^_^)

[LokiLeo789]

I'm still in the process of fleshing out my people and culture, so nothing on the second half of the CS will be permanent. On another note, anyone want to join big daddy sea king?

[VKAllen]

My character is still in the orocess of creation. It will be finished later.

@LokiLeo789

Seeing as my characters Nation is a series of islands they would probably be at least acquainted lol

[Bubsy 2]

Did someone say they were going to take secrets as a sub domain? Because right now Mischief/Secrets/Luck (Maybe on the luck, still unsure) looks like a pretty strong combo.

[MonkeyBusiness]

Azo'do the Death God

Name: Azo'do

Gender: Genderless

Appearance:

Lord Death

13'3"

Personality:

Major Domain: Death

Minor Domains: Medicine, Poison

Your Avatar:

Hound of Hades

The avatar of Azo'do takes the form of a massive hound with tendrils of ember trailing behind the head. From his mouth can spew forth rivers of lava and pillars of ash that can choke the air. Mortals that touch the tendrils of ember are wisped away to the afterlife as their bodies are consumed in flames and their souls feed the God of Death. The hide of the beast is as thick as stone and can deflect all mortal weapons that are turned against him.

Stance: Azo'do has ambitions of taking the crown for himself and ruling over the rest of the gods. He will use any means necessary to make his ambitions become a reality.

Relations:

Powers: Azo'do has the power to kill mortals with a mere touch or cure them from any disease that afflicts them. He is able to create poisons or medicine that can cure or cause most afflictions to mortals but would have no affect to Demi-Gods or Gods. Where ever he walked, he is able to absorb the life from the area at will to feed himself as he does not eat like others but from the souls of other living beings.

Godly Equipment:
Apothecary Axe: The axe of the Death god is able to bring death to mortals with a single touch and even mortally wounding other gods as it absorbs the life around it.

Demi Gods:

Morgrim The Collector

Morgrim is the only child of the Death God Azo'do. He is a four-armed demon blessed with the ability to steal souls from mortals with a swing of his weapon. He carries with him a gift from his father, the Jar of Demon Light, which is a God's Bane Weapon which can convert the souls trapped within to blue flames that can engulf entire fields in unending fire that water can not extinguish.

[NarcissisticPotato]

I'll have my character up later hopefully!

[Obscene Symphony]

@Diggerton

Pretty sure @agentmanatee has knowledge and secrets. Manatee, can you confirm that for me?

[Obscene Symphony]

@MonkeyBusiness Bro, our characters are so similar. I wish I had gotten mine up first XD he's Pestilence with suffering and healing as minor domains, and the idea behind him was that he could inflict disease but also cure it... I've even got medicine as one of his associations! I thought that made sense for pestilence.

I am excited to see your guy when he's done though. I've got some wonderings about him that I'm curious to see answered.
