[OOC] Let There Be Light (God RP)

[DancingEagle]

Void. Blackness.
Time does not exist, nor does the sun, the moon, the Earth and the stars.
Pure darkness.
Balsis and his children, powerful deities, wandered around. Balsis appeared as an elder; A long, white beard, wrinkles all over his white face and near his blue eyes.
Saith he: "My children; We shall create an Earth with sky and stars and land and seas and rivers and vegetation and life, for I have created this universe for you".

---

Let There Be Light is a unique RP in which players play as specific deities, and The Children of the God of the Gods, Balsis. You will have a hand at creating the universe, populating it, picking prophets and reacting to civilization on Earth. This RP is heavily based on player stories and can be dark, comedic, serious or historical.

The Children of Balsis are given specific roles, much like Greek, Egyptian, and many other mythologies, like God Of Land, God Of War, etc. They are limited to their area and their area only. They cannot intervene or create something their role doesn't dictate they can create. For example, the God Of War can't create rivers or carve stone. Therefore, [you want your God's role to be as broad as possible (Land, Sea, Sun, Moon...) to not be bored for most of the game being stuck with a God that cannot collaborate on creating and managing the world.

You may create/state creatures for your purposes, granted they've been created (e.g. you can say you found an old man called Noah, which was the only person in the town of Nineveh who was righteous).

In case one's ability is potentially part of another God that joined later, the ability is transferred with the GM's approval (For example, God Of Land's ability to create natural resources is transferred to God Of Resources, who joined up later).

All gods invisible to all creatures, and can maneuver wherever they like in a flash. They, however, may reveal themselves to certain creatures/communities/whatever for however long they wish, but it is highly recommended not to be a "God among men".

The Children can do whatever they wish, and Balsis will not intervene, but he will punish those who toy, torture, or otherwise perform heinous and/or unacceptable acts with innocents. In case an event such as this happens, the God who did so is put on trial, in which Balsis will be the judge, the defendant will try to prove his innocence, and the rest of the Gods will act as jury. They can have a hand at protecting or incriminating the defendant, but Balsis has the final word, not them.

REGISTRATIONS WILL END AROUND NOON (GMT+2), MONDAY, 12 JAN 2015

[Duthguy]

Ybris, God Of Life
Appearance: Ybris's hair has the same color as young leafs, while his eyes are as blue as the ocean.His face looks like that of a newborn, including the seemingly large eyes. His chest and arms on the other hand are those of a man in the prime of his life, finally there are his legs which resemble those of an old man
Abilities: Ybris can create living creatures, heal injury and disease, revive the dead, restore youth and bestow immortality (with or without eternal youth, he is also more resilient to damage than other gods.

Personality & Personality Flaws: Ybris loves every living creature but understands that killing is necessary to either survive or make your own life easier, while he completely accepts the first as justified an can forgive the latter, he hates those who kill for no reason or their own amusement especially when done by other Gods who really have no reason to end a creature's life. He will go out of his way to get some revenge on those murders and tends to be unreasonably cruel in their punishments.

Accepted. Interesting to know how he'll make do with the rest.

[Singularity]

Cyrilla, Goddess of Wisdom.

Appearance: as a phantom to most, intensified through a physical medium to those that seek her most. She may adorn the likeness of a child or an adult, with hair as a river of moonlight and eyes of sapphire. Her complexion is, however, the same as her percievers....But a ghostly white to any of her divine siblings.

Abilities:

Cyrilla is wise in both thought and word, which means she sounds exactly the opposite of her innate characteristics. Her skills, capabilities, primarily lie in the fact she can emerse in a broad web of interconnectivity: dreams, mortal thought, the sensing of emotion or intent. She can bestow great knowledge to others, though she may only do this temporarily.

Although not entirely known, she can also place great physical burdens upon herself to manifest entirely as a fleshy individual. It is limited to a day, 24 hours, and she can be forced back to a natural state should her fleshy shell find harm.

Personality: curious, thoughtful, sympathetic, watchful. She likes to answer questions with questions...though maybe to play. She is a believer of balance and logistics. She is...one that loves. This is where her true weakness lies: a moral fixation of her right or others wrong, passionate, or perhaps even a desire for a deeper proximity to someone or something she can never truly understand.

(Sorry if this is sloppy! I'm posting via mobile...99% of the time.)

[Rin]

Claiming goddess of war, will try and get her done soon-ish. ^^;

[Travesty]

Draumur, God Of Dreams

Appearance:

Morpheus

Sometimes he appears as a man with a huge pair of wings, or a bearded old man, or raven haired boy with sleepy eyes. Though more often people perceive him as a dark hooded figure.

Abilities: His domain is of dreams. His mere presence can easily put anyone to sleep and thus can bestow any dreams upon them. He can enter in one's dream and has the ability to manipulate it at his will. When inside a dream or in the waking world, he can transform himself in any form he wish in order for him to interact with humans.

Personality & Personality Flaws: Enigmatic, perceptive, and idealistic. He is strongly driven by his own opinions and principles thus making him a quite stubborn god to deal with. Most of the time, he is withdrawn towards other gods as he finds their ideals absurd and narrow-minded, preferring the company of mortals instead who are innocent and a little inventive. He sometimes appear in dreams to convey warnings or visions from the gods.

[Rin]

Uh... I don't think you're allowed to use real world gods, and I don't think this is a crossover either. ^^;

[Travesty]

Err, may be I'll change his name then.

I don't mind, but I am advocating for fictional names to really make it your character.

[Kafka Komedy]

Calling dibs on God of Sand before anyone else takes it. (Though I do doubt many were clamoring for the position.) And I'll try and get the CS up soon-ish.

[Color_Weaver]

Claiming Goddess of the hunt.

[Maxwell57]

god of death dibs should have the sheet done later :p

Wouldn't it contradict the God Of Life? What would it do? Seems sort of unnecessary.
Also, everyone who had submitted a char sheet was accepted.

[Kafka Komedy]

Amos, God of Sands

Appearance: Amos is a short humanoid figure with sand-colored hair, and a beige colored cloak that hides most of his body, save his bandage-wrapped feet. His eyes are a bright, piercing red. Under the coat, Amos is dressed in a long sleeved shirt, and a pair of large pants held up with a long piece of gauze tied around his waist, as if it were a belt.

Abilities: Amos can manipulate, generate, solidify, destroy, and become sand. He can also fling such small particles of sand with such force that he can cut things with them.

Personality & Personality Flaws: Amos is a liar and a cheater. No disrespect or anything, it's just how he is. He doesn't really even mean any harm by it, he's a compulsive liar. Although he is generally morally sound, he tends to have a strong sense of self-worth, believing he must be the conductor to most plans, or the only warrior to fight the monster. He also tends to work 'around' problems. That is to say, he looks for loopholes, and means of avoiding issues. He views mortals like most humans view pets. Lovable, but below him.

Accepted.
Maybe we can get some more basic Gods (Like Water God and Sun God), and we can start.

[Travesty]

Awesome! Cant wait to get started. Oh and can I just add that Draumur can do illusion, like he can make anything in his mind materialize around him like a mirrage thing without any physical substance just visual. If thats okay.

Unless the a newly-joined player somehow needs this ability for his God, sure.
