Many, many years ago, the planet was ruled by many pantheons of Gods, their divine presence forcing order upon their respect lands. These Gods were from different origins and ruled different lands, and they each respected each other's claims for territory. The Gods used their might to administer justice and ensure tranquility over the people of Earth, in return for continued sacrifice and belief of the Earthly mortals, as their beliefs were the source of power for these Gods.

These Gods ruled undisputed over the Earth for many years, but times did change. They found people were moving away from their religion and their lands of worship. The Gods realized that their power was dwindling. They would have to turn to a different way of connecting with the human world. Soon, an idea came to their minds.

That was the origin of the Communicator Program. Each major God of every pantheon would choose a Communicator, a human person, to imbue a fraction of their powers into. These humans would represent these Gods in the world, able to infiltrate the ranks of the mortals easier than the Gods themselves and continue the God's quest with their new human aids.

The Gods then quickly went about setting their plan to action. First, they seized the mythical island of Avalon, a place no human or beast could simply wander upon, and designated it as the Communicator Headquarters, the place where the Gods would teach the Communicators their powers and limits, while also giving them a safe place to rest and a home base, so to speak. Then, the Gods appeared to their chosen mortals across the globe in a dream, telling them of this role, and then, transporting them to Avalon to train.

These Communicators would have a heavy task before them, but a future of being a champion of the globe and protector from evil awaited these young warriors.

That is, if they don't get them first.





Welcome to HEAVEN SENT, an RP about mythology with a unique approach! Feel free to ask me any questions about the lore and so on and so forth. If you already have a character idea in mind, feel free to clear it up with me! I'll be accepting characters from the major ancient religious pantheons (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Shinto, and Celtic most likely).

Thanks for reading, and I hope you join!

I have a few questions; the first would be 'Can I play a non-Communicator?'; the second would be 'Can I play a moderately modified Mythological monster?' (say that three times fast); the others kinda take a backseat after those two.

I like the idea, though!

Oh, also, since Avalon is a thing, are we including Arthurian myth in the story as well, or is it an unrelated thing with the same name?

The answer to the first question is no, unfortunately. It would simply be difficult to fit you into the story.

The second one will depend on which mythological monster you choose. PM me for the specifics if you want to go that route.

It'll probably be an unrelated thing with the same name for the most part. Arthurian mythos doesn't have much to do with Gods, put simply, or worship.

Thanks for your interest!

I'd be interested.

Also, dumb question but if faith powers the gods, does that mean that the communicators of gods from Shinto be generally stronger than the rest due to Shinto having a relatively large following?

No. While more people follow the Shinto faith than the ancient Greek polytheistic one, the idea of this loss of power is more heavily attributed to a general shift by the public away from a religious focus on life and more towards a technological focus. Among other things, which'll be explored IC, and the fact that having one pantheon clearly outclassing the rest in power is a no-go.

Welcome aboard, all! I should have the actual thread up soon, so stay tuned!

This could be interesting, could your chosen god be someone like Cupid or Athena perhaps? Or Morpheus. Another option is Apollo God of Music.

What does the status of being a Communicator actually confer? What level of autonomy are communicators actually allowed?

All of those are certainly options.

Being a Communicator means being a God's personal soldier, in essence. They are the liaison between the God world and the Human world, responsible for communicating the message of said God and eliminating any existential threats to the human/God realms.

They're like soldiers in respect of autonomy. When required to do a task, they must be sent out to complete it soon, but when off-duty, they're given free roam across the entirety of Avalon, which is in essence a mythical paradise. They're also allowed to visit home for a good amount of time per year, and all their needs are provided for.

I've been toying around with the idea of making a Communicator of either Acat (Mayan god of tattooing) or one of Laverna (Roman god of thieves), would either of those ideas be alright with you?

I'm not planning on including the Roman gods just because of the similarities between those of the Greeks and Romans. Mayan Gods are fine though, Acat sounds cool.

You mentioned that a Communicator gets a fraction of the gods power do you mean they get one power or ability from said god or all of their powers and abilities but at a fraction of their power. For example Hercules inherited super strength percy jackson inherited the power to breath under get heeled by and manipulate water. Or would we get all their powers and basically just be a weaker version of the gods.

The issue with that though is that there are several Roman gods that have no Greek equivalent, like Janus or the aforementioned Laverna for example.
