For a century, civil war ravaged the Gods, Demi-gods, and their creations as the God of War Thatos rebelled against his Father, the Father of All Gods Ephra. But now both are dead, slain in battle their powers too great for one another as they struck each other down. Now the Immortals are in chaos, leaderless in all aspects, the rebels and those that sided with their father now all know that a vacuum of power is at stake, and the one to inherit the throne as the Ruler of the Gods is a very tempting occupation. Many crave power, but who will control it? The War is over, but could another just be starting?[/h3] [hr] [h2][b]OOC Information[/b][/h2] The world of Arikath created by a Pantheon of Gods who live among those Mortals they created. They each rule a different domain, and each live in nations devoted to those domains. This world while ruled by many Gods ultimately had one true King, and the King of the Gods was named Ephra, his domain being that of the Immortal. Any being that lived forever was under his rule. Ephra created a realm known as the heavens. It was here that Ephra ruled the other Gods from, no longer able to interact with the mortals, but rather he created a Utopia filled with Immortals of all sorts. This was all while his children ruled on the ground in the mortal world, toiling under the constant supervision of their father as they cared for the world he had created, caring for the mortals that were their children, that they had to watch slowly wither with age, and die. Over time one god would come to resent Ephra, and what he considered his father’s oppression, War. War grew tired of living under what he considered his Father’s oppressive rule, and gathered those who felt similar splitting the Pantheon in half, and waging civil war against his father and those that stood with him. For a century civil war waged, Gods killing gods, mortals and demi gods alike dying in the thousands, and hundreds. [hr] In this roleplaying you will be taking on the role of a God or Goddess, picking their domains, and creating their people, cities, and lands living with them, sharing your life with them. You see them on the streets everyday, and they are able to worship you in person. You will rule them benevolently, or ruthlessly. You will be part of the choice for the throne as all the Gods decide on who will become their new King. You can toss your own bid into this, or support or another. Will you fight for rule? Fight for another to rule? Try to solve things peacefully? It’s up to you. [hr] [h2][b]Rules[/b][/h2] [list][*]You can only create one god for now. [*]Don’t overpower your creations please.

Some domains do have more power than others. If a domain is not claimed that god will be considered an NPC playable by myself or my CO-GMs upon request, these Gods do not have plot armor of any sort, but killing them must be reasonable.. We the GMs are playing them after all and will do what we find necessary if we feel like someone is rocking a power play. Some deities domains may not be listed here, minor deities would only have minor domains which are not on this domain list. [hider=Domain List]Death (reserved) Life (reserved) Nature (Reserved) Predation (Reserved) Dreams (Reserved) The Sun Storms (reserved) Seas (reserved) Fates Mankind (reserved) War (Reserved) Murder (Reserved) Corruption (Reserved) Lust (Reserved) Fertility (reserved) Dragons (Reserved) The Forge (Reserved) The Hunt (reserved) Love Justice (reserved) Darkness (Reserved) The Moon (Reserved) Progress Pride Monsters (reserved) Undeath Knowledge (Reserved) Hell (reserved)[/hider] [hr] [h2][b]Character Creation[/b][/h2] Gods will be created through a character sheet format, followed by the creation of their lands, and people/culture. Your people, and culture should be compatible with your domain. Gods Bane Weapons: Are weapons capable of killing Gods, like other weapons would kill mortals. Any weapons held by a deity is considered a gods bane weapon. Godly Magic: The power the deities wield is tremendous and capable of killing other deities if they are injured enough. [hider=Character Sheet] [b]Name:[/b] [b]Gender:[/b] Gods can be fickle [b]Appearance:[/b] Written or picture. I’d prefer no badly anime. Western Style art is fine, very detailed anime would be fine as well. All Gods and Goddesses stand between 12 and 14 feet tall please try to give a bit of specification in that regard [b]Personality:[/b] [b]Major Domain:[/b] Only one [b]Minor Domains:[/b] No more than two. You can make these as need be. Be sure no one else has claimed it. [b]Weaknesses:[/b](No one is all powerful) [b]Your Avatar:[/b] Every God and Goddess has an Avatar, these usually take the form or a monster, or animal, and are usually enormous, these are not actually your god, simply a creature of your deities creation that represents them in their realms and can be used for combat. Avatars are capable of killing Gods. [b]Stance:[/b] This is your stance on what is currently taking place, who you support if anyone or yourself etc... [b]Loyalty During the Rebellion:[/b] The Civil war has only recently ended, who’s side did you fight on? [b]Center of Power:[/b] A small object no larger than a softball, but no bigger than a grape. This object represents the power you god holds over their major domain. These are important as any who wish to become the King of Gods must have every center of power offered to them and fit into it's place on the throne so that they may sit upon it. Once they have sat upon the throne they will then return the Centers of Power to their prospective owners. (Or maybe they wont.)
