[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

[Cyclone]

Today we learn that comic relief characters are above all accusations of anachronism. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can space djinni be a thing? I love the idea of certain asteroids/comets actually being wandering spirits of metal, water or carbon monoxide, especially given how chaotic orbits tend to be long-term. All those collisions are actually elemental battles spread over a different time scale.

ed: Even the idea of gravitionally dominant orbits kinda sounds like a bunch of spirits subjugating one another...

@Antarctic Termite

Djinn manifest in large numbers wherever Zephyrion's magic is strong, but a few stray ones can pop up more or less anywhere. Sentient space djinn would be a somewhat rare sight, only in the largest of comets.

<Snipped quote by Antarctic Termite>

I have metal djinni in a WIP post. Laying official claim right now before it's too late.

@Muttonhawk

That's just another sort of earth djinn ;p

You know, I wasn't going to do much with the wiki but I might write a page on djinn just because I suspect it's a major topic of confusion

Though it isn't canonized in the context of this refrigeration, realism with that sort of thing can be thrown out the window with the simple explanation of, "The djinn down there keep it cold." If we want crazy -150 degree weather we can have it.

On that topic, I think it's important to note that natural disasters are 100% controlled by djinn and not mundane geological processes as on Earth. Even things like the wind are largely controlled by the whimsy of djinn rather than heat/pressure differentials. I like this because it allows for these spectacular and magical violations of physics environments. And it keeps that fantasy feel to the RP.

@Cyclone

Alright, so theoretically we could have -130C weather (or colder) on Galbar, due solely to the influence of the Djinni.

The trouble is, the North pole is inhabited with all of Kho's trees and bears and undead, and the South pole was recently melted and is now home to the dwarves. -130C weather would outright kill any fleshy being unless it was absurdly specialised. I see no place in the natural order maintained by the djinn for such ridiculous and inhospitable temperatures, at least not outside tiny, localised pockets of sheer cold. But just as we wouldn't count an erupting volcano towards Galbar's maximum surface temperature, I wouldn't count localised, magically produced pockets of sheer cold towards Galbar's minimum surface temperature.

[Double Capybara]

What if we go the other way? If I'm not wrong, Galbar having those temperatures predates Djinns, so what if those deadly temperatures are avoided because of the Djinns' power of change? It would make things far more problematic for most gods when Jvan attacks the djinn.

As we're now moving onto more complex governmental and economic systems, I thought I should share this for everyone's benefit:

@Double Capybara

Clever. The crazy seasons indeed do predate djinn.

Alefpria confirmed for socialist state.

@poog the pig

There is no socialism! Only capitalism!

[Cyclone]

Ommok gonna bring da big fashizm.

[Kho]

@Lauder Keriss is a French corporation.

[Kho]

@Cyclone Don't think that's accurate. Ommok is more of a venture capitalist.

Shaqmar is an Irish corporation through and through. Except that he has two cows, and two of them are a horse.

[Lauder]

@Lauder Keriss is a French corporation.

@Kho

Name one time she has rioted because she wanted something!

[Scarifar]

I think the majority of Angels would be Australian companies.

@Scarifar

That's highly agreeable.

[Kho]

@Cyclone Or perhaps the sort of fascist who takes your two cows, sells you the milk, then takes the milk.

[LokiLeo789]

What is Amartía?

[Scarifar]

What is Amartía?

@LokiLeo789

Either Communism or Bureaucratism. Maybe.

@Scarifar

No, Amartía needs money, definitely Fascism.

@Kho

You know this cow joke is olllllld. I remember sending it to a friend a few years back. ;p

Your picture seems go be missing a few, like the Mormon farmer who has 10 cows and marries them all, or Nazism where they shoot you and take your 2 cows, or Maoism where they demand you milk yur cows for steel...

[Kho]

@Cyclone You should find them for us! I saw a Japanese one, that was quite funny
