Could the pic be anime.

I'm just assuming there will be Noragami references.

But there IS the option of putting a picture under the text, which is stated in the sheet. You'll have to wait for the answer to the anime part though. Some people don't care, some demand it, and others can't stand it.

Right, here's the rough outline of a character. I'm sure there'll be more by the time we actually play... it's one of those tricky parts where good background elements don't always develop until you've had a chance to try something out.

Right, here it be:

Right, here it be:

Josh "Nightmare" Payne [+]

Name: Josh "Nightmare" Payne

Age: 18

Personality: Very rash, with little to no regard of those around her, even though he pays high attention to those very people. Pretty quiet, but speaks from the heart when talking. No open regard for anything love related, and openly admits to never having a love life. Has a very poor memory, and often forgets crucial information. That or he doesn't hear it because he isn't paying attention.

Interests: A pretty typical, yet diverse geek/nerd. Played video games on a regular basis, a pretty big anime fan, DnD player and partial role player. He had been trying to code for God knows how long, and has since been unsuccessful.

History: A British student, on a trip in (insert name of country where accident happens) before the accident. Entering his last year of Sixth form and still considering his choices for university

Appearance:


Notes:

Well, this narrowed down which one of the two character types I chose to the one I was leaning toward.

Ok then. I actually based this off myself IRL, with some tweaking, that is.

I was planning on having a few minions and a (non-supernatural) love interest. Will only the deities need character pages?

In theory, were Darren to want to make a human have the traits of a vampire or werewolf, how long would that take?

...Question, I've been looking though this, and I'm not sure of something. Can you bring people back to life, that die? Not like necromancy, I mean full on re-animation?

:cracks knuckles: Aaaalright, just woke up to like fifty character sheets so I'm going to go finish the thread before I read through 'em.

Yep, so long as you have their soul on hand. Details about souls were in an earlier question that Zugzwang asked.

<Snipped quote by Zugzwang>

Souls aren't a very scientifically solid concept. Like everything else here, they're a gameplay mechanic, a resource. They develop in the brain of their original bearer, but once they're severed from the mortal by magic or death, they can take on the same functions by themselves, without needing the physical infrastructure of a brain but still needing some kind of host entity (if you're cruel, you can give eyes to a rock and plant a soul in it to watch it suffer in boredom for the next million years). A mortal with their soul removed, or one created without a soul, has a brain, but won't use it- They'll die or go comatose. It can only be interacted with by magical means, and until severed, it occupies no space and can only be sort of sensed by a god- Not seen or heard or smelt. Once they're severed they just sort of sit around like a bubble or cumulus cloud or pile of translucent goop, small enough to be picked up with both hands but pretty amorphous. They dissipate unpredictably when not in a host, disappearing suddenly after anything from a few minutes to a few hours, but can be sustained by a god (pickled, as it were) to last longer.

Good question. Depends on if you're trying to make NPCs that are there to further the development of your main character, or characters that you're playing for their own sake. If the former, no. If the latter, yes, though you might not need to detail the interests section all that much. It sounds like you're looking at supporting characters for what you want to make, so probably not.

In theory, were Darren to want to make a human have the traits of a vampire or werewolf, how long would that take?

Same process as other transformations- Depends on how many different factors you want to consider and how cohesively you want those traits to function.

Vampires seem pretty simple. Lots of humans already burn in the sun, so multiplying that shouldn't be too hard. Granting abnormal muscle strength and rigging the digestive system to run on blood don't seem too hard either, since they're not really major changes. Toss in a few allergies to garlic and crucifixes and you're looking at like maybe ten minutes of work. Easy peazy.

Werewolves, though, are kind of weird, since you have to somehow squeeze a whole other animal into a human (magically or biologically) and then make sure they can flip between one and the other repeatedly, quickly and safely. Just to make a huge hideous wolf probably takes longer than the vampire did, and then trying to get the transformation to work out would also take a while. So at least three times the time you spent on the vampire.

Antarctic, some time soon I'm going to send you my plans, seeing my as George does not plan on waiting around, and I want you to be ready for the opening overtures.

Yoooooo

Antarctic, some time skin I'm going to send you my plans, seeing my as George does not plan on waiting around, and I want you to be ready for the opening overtures.

'time skin'

Feel free to tell me what you want, though.

Is there an rp thread for this?

This sounds like loads of fun! Which is probably why so many other applicants have beat me here. Do you have room for one more, @Antarctic Termite, or are you pretty full up for the moment?

@antartictermite How would mind control work? Like if it's induced by a ingested substance that allows control over the person even if they are in remote locations, but its power depends on the amount of substance the person the god is trying to control has in their brain?

I'm in the precarious position of trying something completely new, so I have no idea how many or how few applicants I should accept and I'm testing the waters by letting everyone in. Go wild.

@antartictermite How would mind control work?

It doesn't. See the souls section in the main thread. The best you can do is take a non-soul-bearing organism and change the physical structure of its brain, causing it to have different innate instincts or perceive the world differently.

This is the most interesting RP I have ever seen. I would love to be apart of this. I just need to figure out what my deity would be mainly focused on. I'm getting an extreme nature drive, or maybe an insane god with no concept of immoral or moral capacity. Like possibly a stoner human who was destroyed in the crash and then once they discover their own abilities, use it to force a very psychoactive world on others. Kind of like Sheogorath from the Elder Scrolls, but with more control and a green focus.
