It ends, it begins, it turns and churns like a sea tossed about by the wind and the waves, creating and destroying in the blink of an eye. Between these cycles there are spaces of calm, and in those calm is where the Shapers live. Immortal, immensely powerful and slightly alien, every time the universe settles they build worlds and fill them with creations. In short, they are Gods. These periods of calm are not short. Millennia pass between each great roil, time a plenty for worlds to rise and fall on their own. With the guidance of the Gods however, these worlds become far more. They become special, and they become unique. With the Roil subsiding once more, and with the fading of the previous leader of the Gods, this next series of worlds will be the battlegrounds of dominion. This will not be a peaceful cycle, no. This is a new age. The age begins as the old one ends. Sandrimor, the controller of Magic and Time, and the holder of the Throne of Kings for every previous cycle has faded in the last Roil. With a power vacuum now in place, the Gods must decide. Who among them can hope to hold enough Immortal Cores to give them the power of the Throne? [hr] [h3]Rules:[/h3] [list] [*] No godmodding. You're all big boys, you know what to expect by this. [*] Include me in planning. If you want to do something wicked awesome, I'd very much like to know as the DM and be able to confirm or reject it. [*] Don't be a dickhead. [/list] [hr] [hider=Character Sheet] Character Sheet: Feel free to spice this up as much as you want. Name: Their name and any titles that they might go by. Gender: Major Domains: One major domain, or two that are very linked with one another. Minor Domains: As many minor domains as you wish can be picked (assuming that they are logical for that God,), but there is no exclusivity to these- multiple Gods may hold power over the same minor domain. Opposing Domains: Any domains that are antithetical to the [i]major[/i] domains of the God. Appearance: Either a short, one or two paragraph description per form (most Gods will only have one or two forms that they feel comfortable in) or detailed pictures. Only very detailed manga will be permitted, western art is greatly preferred. Core Appearance: What their Core looks like. Must be small enough to fit into the Throne’s sockets. Personality: Likes dislikes, etc etc. Relationships: How does this God view other Immortals? Allegiances: Domain: Each God has their own domain- essentially their house- that they have permanent and total control over. These can only be entered through having the permission of the owner God, or by invading. Peoples: Gods are generally associated with a specific race or peoples, or small group of such. Avatar and Anathema: Avatars are the God’s wills made manifest. No matter the shape or form they are capable of slaying other deities and are the greatest weapon that any God can have. Anathema are weapons that are capable of slaying immortals without damaging their Cores, and are [i]usually[/i] limited to a small collection. Anathema and mechanical Avatars will need to be reforged after a Roil. Misc: [/hider]
