[OOC] Kindred Souls

[DJAtomika]

Y'know something just occurred to me: why haven't we posted our characters in the characters tab yet XD

[TheUnknowable]

Don't know. You're all approved.

[Gareth]

I think everyone was waiting for someone else to post their character's in the page, after the g.m... So we got no where. :P Anyway Sal's going on the C. P. Page.

Trying to find a role for Kassy in the early early past that wouldn't make her like... evil-sounding. Or maybe I'm thinking incorrectly. I mean, mother goddess worship would have been still quite active in the Bronze Age, right?

@Mistress Dizzy

sure.

I guess you would want to avoid her being the High priest of the god of human sacrifice, but it would be a bit hard to make her evil. Lots of older deities were what later people would consider "evil" though, I guess, so maybe it is pretty tricky.

^ I tried wikipedia, and I got this info.

Several small, voluptuous figures have been found during archaeological excavations of the Upper Paleolithic, the Venus of Willendorf, perhaps, being the most famous.[1] This sculpture is estimated to have been carved 24,000–22,000 BCE. Some archaeologists believe they were intended to represent goddesses, while others believe that they could have served some other purpose. These figurines predate, by many thousands of years, the available records of the goddesses listed below as examples of mother goddesses, so although they seem to conform to the same generic type, it is not clear whether they, indeed, were representations of a goddess or whether, if they are, there was any continuity of religion that connects them with Middle Eastern and Classical deities.

^ So there does seem to be the possibility of mother goddess figurines existing a very long time ago, much longer ago then the 3000 years Unknowable mentioned for bronze age.

So with that I'm sure you could go with the idea that Mother Goddess worship did exist in the bronze age.

With my Character when I heard about the Bronze age, I wanted my character to be a mercenary, because that way he could use his warrior skills and it was the first idea that came to my mind.

I also used wiki for it.

A general systems collapse has been put forward as an explanation for the reversals in culture that occurred between the Urnfield culture of the 12–13th centuries BC and the rise of the Celtic Hallstatt culture in the 9th and 10th centuries BC.

The growing complexity and specialization of the Late Bronze Age political, economic, and social organization in Carol Thomas and Craig Conant's phrase[32] is a weakness that could explain such a widespread collapse that was able to render the Bronze Age civilizations incapable of recovery. The critical flaws of the Late Bronze Age are its centralization, specialization, complexity and top-heavy political structure. These flaws then revealed themselves through socio-political factors (revolt of peasantry and defection of mercenaries), fragility of all kingdoms (Mycenaean, Hittite, Ugaritic and Egyptian), demographic crises (overpopulation), and wars between states. Other factors that could have placed increasing pressure on the fragile kingdoms include piratical disturbances of maritime trade by the Sea Peoples, drought, crop failures, famine, Dorian migration or invasion.

^ that underlined part tells me that, mercenaries did exist in the bronze age. The rest I can study more later, if I need to. :P

@TheUnknowable also I looked up that mehrunes guy looks scarier then rancor so I go with mehrunes. :P

Should our past lives lore, be somewhat thought of together, like the fight with Xalafoor could be written together by the four companions who fought him.

[TheUnknowable]

I guess. He has the Dark Warlock on his side, though, so they'll have to be in on it.

@TheUnknowable

yeah your right and I can't wait to get this story rolling. And are we still missing roles like hunter and spy?

@Gareth

yeah, they had to drop it. Maybe we can get some other people interested after we get this started good.

@TheUnknowable

Let's not forget about the assassin he has as well. Or is the assassin on his side?;P

[DJAtomika]

I'm here if anyone wants to discuss evil shenanigans. I do play the warlock, after all.

[Mistress Dizzy]

@Gareth

Wow, thanks for the assist! I'm gonna make her a priestess of some kind, definitely.

@Kindos

Yeah, I just forgot to mention it.

[Gareth]

Can some people please post, I.C.? Even if the story isn't 'totally worked out'.

Because I want to use Sal.

He is probably my favourite character that I have made in a quite a while. So having nobody post in the characters story is seriously bumming me out. :(

[Gareth]

@TheUnknowable@Mistress Dizzy@DJAtomika@Kindos

Let's at least discuss stuff, and explain what's going on with why we can't post. Otherwise this just dies for no reason, and that would be a shame.

[Kindos]

@Gareth I'm merely waiting on others to post, just as you are.

[DJAtomika]

@Gareth I'm already working on a post lol

[TheUnknowable]

I'm waiting for more posts before I post again.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Honestly it's embarrassing, but I'm intimidated. My creativity is like a dried up sponge. I see my character walking in my head, but it's in complete emptiness. I'm completely stuck, and I hate it when my first post is a lousy collection of sentences.
