@Kho In the next few turns, I am planning on creating shamanism. Since you (Kho) created animism, do you want to co-create it with me. I guess this could go to anyone, but Kho is the one that did the thing that set up shamanism. (And by shamanism, I mean full-on magic stuff with invoking nature spirits, though I guess spiritual stuff will also be there too)


Seihdhara didn't really create animism, she just threw souls everywhere and it ended up creating an animist reality - animism as a faith doesn't exist, souls inhabiting all things (which is what animists believe) is what exists. Seihdhara did this accidentally, it wasn't a thought-through process. If you want to create shamanism or animism as a mortal practice or as a branch of magic, Kap Gam is your port of call.

@Kho When is Siehdhara going to clean her hair?


Oh, whenever the fancy strikes her. She might have even decided that she rather likes it now xP

@Eviledd1984 A few questions.

-Is his domain Mind (Memories) or Memories (Mind)? If his domain is Memories, what other portfolios would you consider taking under it?
-What kind of divine knowledge is he looking for?
-Do you intend to create his 'realm' as a separate plane or is looking through bubbles of memory just what he does?

Otherwise, the grammar somewhat patchy and I'm pretty sure he's more True Neutral than Good, given that he considers mortals to be playthings. Feel free to keep working on it though.

@Antarctic Termite

I should probably just change it to just memories and not mind. The divine knowledge he is looking for is the memories and experiences of every human in this world. Probably the latter I might get rid of the realm all together. I will let you know when I updated him.

(Edited: edited my sheet a bit, I will change it a bit more if needed)

@Eviledd1984 I don't think you're understanding how domains and portfolios work.

You can't just be memories

It works like this: domain(portfolio) domain is the general gist of stuff you have extra power over, portfolios are a section WIRHIN the domain that your god will have nigh-unlimited power over.

Now, as a domain, memories would be far too narrow, that's why a lot of us are telling you to go mind(memories)

Okay then should I change it to mind, and his starter abilities to be mind related powers? If so I did have some ideas of what he could have for level 1.

@Eviledd1984 I think you're still misunderstanding

You can have MIND & MEMORIES, the thing is, your god is more powerful in their portfolio than they are in their domain, so yes, have you DOMAIN be MIND and have your PORTFOLIO be MEMORIES, so you should have mind(memories)

In terms of starting powers, if your PORTFOLIO is MEMORIES, having memory-based powers is encouraged, also, since your DOMAIN is MIND, having mind-based powers is fine

@Eviledd1984 You're accepted, but please make sure to read the OP in detail, as well as at least two or so pages of the game so far. Try to keep up with the standard of effort we've seen so far.

You're free to ask for clarification if anything seems wonky to you. Note that the hero section is out of date and will be scrapped.




[@everyone else]

Turn has changed, you may regenerate Might according to your level and number of sanctuaries.

I'd also like to make something as clear as possible, given that it's lately caused some problems:

If you want something to be canon, you should write it.

Creation sheets and summaries are fine for writing details that don't fit in the prose. Implying minor details is fine too. Writing details as they become relevant is also, generally, fine. Don't sacrifice your prose for the sake of clarifying everything.

But if you want something done, you must do it, and if you want something created, you must create it. If you try to bring something up as canon that you haven't actually written about, you're liable to be overruled.

For example, in this post, Lasis created a species of insectoids to defend her holy site. They're created in two sentences and we know absolutely nothing about them other than what they look like and that they resist corruption. We don't know what they're called, what they're like, what they do, or how many there are. More importantly, none of them have actually done anything in the prose, even in non-speaking roles.

For now, this is fine. You don't need to flesh out a creation as soon as you create it! Sometimes you don't necessarily need to flesh it out at all.

But at the moment, because they're not anything in particular, they're also not disciples of Lasis in any appreciable way. I'm extremely disinclined to hand out 2.5 Might for a footnote.

Divinus is a very free-form game and every rule can be easily changed or bent when the time is right, but claiming Might without the required prose, or writing prose without the required stats, is both against the rules and against the spirit of the game.

Because it's the first time this has come up and because I've played with WrongEnd before, I'm going to let it slide. In the future, if you want rules to be relaxed for you, contact me about it. If you have questions or concerns, contact me about it. The you feel like the rules are bothering you or restricting your natural writing, contact me about it.

That's all.

Thanks it's always a conundrum to introduce a character in a rp, I may need some help on how to introduce my character. I will read though the last couple of pages and post something after work.

Okay I could have him be introduced by having him being created. Being made by Master Lei and interacting with her.

@Lord Zee I have an idea!

@Eviledd1984 could be created from a buildup of thoughts and memories getting caught in the forge of purity during the conversion process!

Whadya think?

I think that could work, if you like we could do a collaboration via google doc or pm. Either one is fine with me.
