[quote=@KabenSaal] I was making sure the origin story was finished before doing anything else about her. For divine Influence, I guess you could have some of that in the ritual. They found some divine stuff and inserted it into the host girl. In a very crude and unsavoury fashion, she was probably going to die without the rest of it. [/quote] I made a post three months back summarising the demigods in the game at the moment. I'll copy it here for your convenience, reference and inspiration. [hider=Demigods] [list] [*]Belvast - Space (Portals). Son of Belruarc and Vowzra. Only demigod to be conceived by a physical union and born via ordinary biological means (pregnancy included). Belvast is basically an anthropomorphic cat. He went through a childhood. Current status: Original player inactive, but Belvast is still alive and doing background things. [*]Lifprasil - Emotions (Sentience). Child of Vulamera and Vestec. Appears as an androgynous human. Accidentally conceived while Vulamera was poking around in Vestec's mind, and born when Vulamera attempted an abortion by ripping the coalescing essences from her womb. Began life as an adult. Current status: Lifprasil's player has retired, with Lifprasil crippled [*]The Bard - Arts (Music) (I think. I can't find the sheet). Son of Vowzra and Ilunabar. Vowzra came into Ilunabar's dream realm. Ilunabar made a musical instrument with some twigs from Vowzra. The instrument is played and the Bard pops into being as an adult. Appears as a human. Current status: alive. [*]Keriss - Chance (Suffering, The Forgotten). Daughter of Vulamera and Vakarlon. Is a big lizard person. The process of her birth was started in Vakarlon's mind (which Vulamera was inside at the time) by some essence-melding, and was finished when she materialised from ash near their physical bodies. Started as an adult. Current status: alive at present [*]Amartia - Chaos (Sin). The closest he has to a parent is Vestec. Vestec found a god-soul dredged up by Slough (as she does), fused it with a mortal human, and let it have a bit of his chaos essence. In such a manner Amartia was born, as an adult. He is often a human or humanoid, although his form varies somewhat. Current status: Amartia has been stripped of divinity. [*]Conata - Toil (Metalworking). Daughter of Teknall and Ilunabar (but mainly Teknall). Conata was designed then manufactured, cast from metal infused with Teknall's own blood. Appears as a human made from solid metal. Began life as a young child, and has been growing. Current status: alive. [*]Kinesis - Crafting (Machinery). Daughter of Teknall and Ilunabar. Conata's older sister. Kinesis was also designed and manufactured. A mechanical skeleton was given a heart of Ilunabar's design imbued with Teknall's blood, at which point it conjured flesh to cover itself. Kinesis was born as a slightly older child, although she can change apparent age at will. She appears human, mostly. Current status: Original player is inactive, but Kinesis is still alive and doing things. [*]Lazarus - Knowledge (Secrets,Divinity,Arcana). Has no definite godly parents. Lazarus was once a mortal, who found a Relic of Perfectus, taken from the Gap and planted on Galbar by Vowzra. He drank from it, and was transformed into a demigod. His original form was humanoid, although he has been through several other forms. Current status: alive, although at this instant he is imprisoned within a pocket dimension. [*]Maeus - Hedonism (Drinking). Son of Ilunabar and Vestec. Ilunabar had created some powerful alcohol including a little bit of her own blood. Vestec chugged the lot, although it wasn't intended for him. A demigod grew inside him over a couple of minutes and he gave birth (somehow, I don't remember exactly how) to Maeus, who I believe started as an adult. Maeus appears as a human. Current status: inactive [*]Farxus - Death (Undeath). Son of Reathos and Lazarus (in a sense). Lazarus simply pulled Farxus out from a wall filled with Reathos' essence (or something like that. My memory of it is hazy) (Reathos was dead, and this wall was part of his Holy Site). Farxus looks like a skeleton. Current status: alive [*]Helvana - Darkness (Hexes,Nurture). Daughter of Vestec and Julkofyr. Julkofyr struck Vestec with a claw and wounded him, with the wound infected by Julkofyr's darkness. Vestec purged the foreign essence, which manifested into Helvana. Began as an adult. Appears human. Current status: alive [*]Thacel - War (Strategy). Son of Ilunabar and Toun. Ilunabar and Toun, in attempting to resurrect Kyre (using written words and stuff), ended up conjuring Thacel instead. Started as an adult. Appears human. Current status: inactive [*]Osveril - Purity (Void). Child of Jvan. Accidentally created by Jvan when she was experimenting with Voids. Has some weird geometric vaguely humanoid body of solid grey stuff. Current status: alive [*]Anthanasios - Life (Healing). Son of Slough. Grew from some of the rot which dripped off Slough. Is part stag part human. Started as an adult. Current status: inactive. [*]Jydshi - Motion (Animation). Daughter of Teknall, Aihtiraq and Kinesis (in a sense). Jydshi started as a robot built by Teknall and Kinesis. Kinesis then made a wish and Aihtiraq brought Jydshi alive. Is a giant millipede-like being. Current status: alive. [/list] [/hider] From experience, the origin story is the least important part about a demigod. It can generally be constructed around the other details. The origin story will cover you for one post. We want to know what you might do in all the posts following that. [quote=@Cyclone] On a more seriosu note, we could make an informal rule about not making more 10+ MP items. Maybe then I'd actually adopt a second portfolio. [/quote] This is actually a reasonable plan. At present one can dump a ridiculous amount of Might into a single item. An informal cap of 10 MP could help reduce inflation (and it is more creative if someone finds a way to make three 10 MP items rather than a single 30 MP item), while not totally embargoing powerful artefacts.
