In that chaos, a being slowly came into form. Xalsyn it would call itself, and after spending untold time in chaos by itself. Xalsyn, tired of the loneliness, decided on making others to keep itself company. The firstborn of Xalsyn, as they would later be called, were two beings. Imthar and Niagi, brothers they were. One of light and one of darkness. At first, there was peace between the three of them, and seeing the empty void that was chaos. Xalsyn wanted to make something for its sons. So it created the first planet, Teunia, and filled it with life. Along with something for its sons, a divine spark that would form into others begins like its sons. Not as strong or powerful but, something to keep its sons' company, and Xalsyn would soon depart and make the rest of the universe. With their parent gone, Imthar and Niagi would be friendly with each other for a time. Exploring the world that their parent has created and once the divine sparks have formed into beings. These Secondborn, or Titans as they would be called. They came under the rule of the Firstborn. Imthar and Niagi would rule jointly as kings of Teunia. But this arrangement would not last. For as the years went by, both Imthar and Niagi would grow wary of each other. For it was during these times that the brothers started to see what their nature really was. Imthar the Lord of Light, was compassionate, friendly, and acted with grace. Niagi the Lord of Darkness, was petty, cruel, and acted with malice. Without Xalsyn to act as a mediator between the two. The relations between the two sons started to break down as neither wanted the other to be King of Teunia. Both brothers started to court the Titans to their side, and it would be Niagi that would strike first. Starting the Firstborn War. The war lasted for years before the two brothers would meet in a final clash. The fight was intense as the two brothers moved with such speed and power that no Titan would dare try to join the fight for fear of death. In the end, Imthar and Niagi would kill each other and leave the Titans without a leader. However, while they did die, their souls did not. For they would linger in Teunia and the Titans of both sides tried to take the souls for themselves to restart the war and become king. Only when they tried it, it ended in death. The Titans realized that no one could handle the power of a Firstborn, as any that tried to use the power of a Firstborn soul would die within a minute of taking on the soul. So seeing how they could not take on the souls of the Firstborn, they decided on hiding the souls away from those that may try to experiment with them and once they were done. The surviving Titans made peace with each other and worked to rebuild their world as the war left it in ruins. So the Titans rebuilt the world and soon their children. The Thirdborn or, as they would be known, the Gods. Started to mature and pave the way to the world that the mortals would know. New life was created, the first mortals were born, and new land was made. But, while the Gods grew and thrived. The Titans declined, and soon they would depart for the remote places of Teunia, and they could rest in peace or fulfill their duties in peace. All but for one though, the Titan Ryborh, the new king of the Gods, and later the Fourthborn, also called the Gods. He would stay active and lead his divine brethren, at first, he was a good king. But as time passed as the Fourthborn were growing. He became more tyrannical and cruel. Paranoid that someone might try and take his throne in his old age. His actions would lead to some of the Gods to rise up against him. Started the Divine civil war and split the Gods between those loyal to Ryborh and those seeking to end his rule. Now it has been a year into the war, and neither side has the edge over the other. But, the rebels from their secret base called Sanctuary, a place hidden deep within the planet. Are still no closer to ending Ryborh's rule and freeing Teunia from his tyranny. This is where our tale starts and the rebels' journey to overthrow Ryborh and free the world from his tyrannical rule. If they can, that is. [center]Rules: 1. Expected to follow standard site rules 2. No godmodding or powergaming or etc... 3. No OP characters 4. A max of two characters 5. Minimum of one paragraphs[/center] [center][b]Overview[/b][/center] Hello, and so the premise of the rp is that the gods of Teunia are currently in a civil war. Those that support the King of the Gods, the Titan Ryborh, and the rebels, those that rose up against his rule. In the rp, you will be playing as gods, either the Thirdborn or Fouthborn, that have joined up with the rebels. So the rp will be primarily PvE [center][b]Thirdborn and Fourthborn[/b][/center] Now what I mean by Thirdborn and Fourthborn is that it is both a generational thing and power thing. As in being a Thirdborn or Fourthborn means you are either the third or fourth generation of divines that are descended from Xalsyn's power. Even though the Firstborn did not have any descendants, the Secondborn were still created by Xalsyn but not as directly as the Firstborn were. So when it comes to power, while the Third and Fourthborn are similar in power levels. The Secondborn are more powerful than the Third and Fourthborn. This is due to the Secondborn being created indirectly by Xalsyn. The Thirdborn are the children of the Secondborn and are a generation removed from Xalsyn's power. So while still powerful in their own right and divine and with the Fourthborn being children of the Secondborn and still on the sameish level of their parents. They are not as powerful as a Secondborn. Though it is not to say a Third or Fourthborn could not win in a fight with a Secondborn. It just means you should probably get some help with taking down a Secondborn if you are planning on doing it. Also, the Fourthborn are the newest generation of gods and are still considered new to the world and to the gods. Plus, having the least experience overall and being around the least. [center][b]Neutrals[/b][/center] Now there are those among the gods that are neutral during the civil war. Choosing to not take a side and simply wait out the war. Though Ryborh has shown his disdain for those that choose to be neutral and not fight at his side. He has yet to do anything about it. Despite this, some have shown to be willing to offer safety for those wounded in the war or have taken it upon themselves to safeguard the mortal races that find themselves in the crossfire. The most powerful of these neutral gods are the Three. The three gods that deal with the cycle of life and death. Anera, the Goddess of Life, Voi, the God of Souls and Ezla the Goddess of Death. Together they pose a serious threat but for now. They are focused on maintaining the cycle and are not interested in the war.
