PREMISE


Since time immemorial, there has been an infinite amount of worlds. While some were similar, and others vastly different, one thing they had in common is that they were ruled over by Gods and Goddesses of some variety. These higher beings ruled over the lesser beings that called those worlds home, giving them instructions, gifts, and when necessary, punishments. However, most Gods would not be satisfied with just their world and would learn of the other worlds, of the Multiverse.

In time, beings began to travel from one world to another, bringing knowledge and magic with them. The Gods of these different worlds would not always get along, so soon divine battles broke out between worlds. These titanic conflicts would leave whole worlds destroyed, their pantheon of Gods decimated. After the destruction of far too many worlds, a treaty would be signed by the Gods, forbidding their direct involvement in the wars.

Instead, each God or Goddess would pick a Champion, a mortal from their own world. Bestowed a boon known as a Champion’s Blessing, these warriors would swear fealty to their patron God. Alongside other Champions who served Gods in the same alliance, the empowered mortals would traverse the Multiverse, doing the will of their God.

There would exist countless alliances of Gods across all of creation, each one with a different name. However this story focuses on Pax Celestia, a rather smaller alliance of Gods. Following a massive defeat against another alliance that cost it many Champions, the Pax Celestia is attempting to rebuild, recruiting younger Gods and new Champions. But amid this constant battle for dominance, a dark power grows, one stronger than any God alliance.



PLAYER ROLE


Each player will make a character who is a newer Champion to a God. As such you will need to come up with a Champion, patron God, and original world, as this is not fandom based. If players want to collaborate and say that they are from the same world, that would be fine, by I just ask that everyone has their own different patron God or Goddess. As servants of the Pax Celestia, these Champions would be traveling to various worlds at their lord’s command.

Prior to being picked as a Champion, all characters were exceptional mortals, whether they be a wizard, knight, or someone else of skill. They are further enhanced by their God’s Champion’s Blessing. This can be a weapon, armor, other type of item, pet or mount, or even an enchantment. Basically a gift from your patron that will help you stay alive.

As far as player race, I’m open to pretty much anything as long as it’s fantasy themed and not overpowered. I’m also really open on how magic works as each character is literally from another world. I ask that you don’t go overboard with it, and try to maintain sense and some kind of theme.



So is anyone interested in this? I love both fantasy and multiverse roleplays so I decided to mash them together. If anyone has a character concept I’d love to hear it. Anyways, thanks for reading through the whole thing.

This sounds very enticing, and the freedom you seem to promise in character creation definitely gets me going. For now, count me in!

Seems fun and easygoing. Are there standards for membership within the Princess Pax Celestia we should keep to?

I am intrigued. I have a few ideas in mind already! And as someone else said, I would also be interested if there are any criteria a god would need to be in Pax Celstria, or are they truly desperate they would accept nearly anyone?

@All Might
Great to have you! Any character concepts yet?

@Dead Cruiser
Great question. I’m intending for Pax Celestia to be an alliance of Good or Neutral Gods, if we are going by D&D alignments. Basically mostly heroic, but there is a little bit a wiggle room for darker concepts.

@Crimson Flame
If you do decide on joining that would be great. I wonder if any kind of character immediately jumps out to you based on the concept.

@The Muse
Welcome to the RP! Given any thought to what character you want to play yet?

@Lurking Shadow
Glad that you’re intrigued. As I wrote earlier in this post, Pax Celestia is mostly going to be Good to Neutral alignment Gods, though they occasionally let in darker beings. While I’m trying to avoid any outright villainous characters, deeply flawed and/or troubled Champions would be fine.

@Riffus Maximus
Thanks for the interest. Do you have any character ideas yet?

@Tangy
And another interested party! I didn’t think this idea would prove so popular. Like I asked everyone else, do you have some kind of character in mind?

I don't have an idea for a deity just yet, but I've thought of some sort of kingdom inspired by Orthodox Christian medieval countries like the Serbian kingdom and the Byzanthian empire, but with a twist - extinct mammals from the Cenozoic are the fauna. So, my idea for their champion is Mihailo - a massively talented archer who hones his arrows with the power of the Air Wonder. In his world, there are Fire, Earth, Wind and Water Wonders, and each have their own abilities and limitations. Wonders are a blessing from God, so they only occur rarely, and aren't something that can be passed down. So, in that sense, Mihailo's Wind Wonder is a blessing from his God. My champion rides a Palaeoloxodon to battle and is very hammy about making an entrance. :)

OK, good to know. I sort of have an idea I've been percolating for a while, let me know how you like the sound of it.

Basically the world, god, and champion would all be more or less the same entity, just on different scales. The "world" is actually planet-sized organism, the "god" is its collective consciousness, and the "champion" is an independent offshoot of this organism.

Aye aye. I have a world of my design. Long story short, the Champion would be the high priestess of an elven moon goddess. A lady that excels in the arts of healing, protective and support magic (basically a white mage/cleric).

I'd be happy to lay down the details of her world if required.

@Martian

Ok I can do good/neutral. I was not thinking of evil champion/deity concerning personality or traits but maybe having one with an association to necromancy type of stuff (among other 'dark' magics) which is generally regarded as evil or at the least taboos. A world filled with death where the god is the source of or maybe taught the secrets of necromancy to mortals. That was one of the ideas at least. I've also been thinking of a more primitive/savage world eschewing the safety of cities in favor of the dangerous but meaningful life closer to nature and spirits, with a god who presides over the cycle of life, death, birth, and decay. Or a world blighted by a strange crystal that has overtaken and assimilated with life into a combination of crystal and flesh, with this crystal, a sentient entity, being the god. Or maybe something else, I'm not settled on anything at the moment. But I'm not going to have someone who has a desire to conquer the multiverse or is sociopathic or something, I'll keep em neutral at least.

I want to play a morally ambiguous wizard. . . the student of a god/ddess of magic. He would come from an Edenic world.

The character I have in mind is a Fairy. I build a whole Fairy realm just to use him in an RP. <3 He’s the prince of the largest kingdom in the realm, and uses Light magic.

I do have some type of Fairy goddess in mind.

@All Might
That sounds really interesting. It would be interesting to see how people from other universes would react to an archer riding a giant elephant.

@Dead Cruiser
That is a very different concept. While I’m tentatively saying yes, I would need more details in a character sheet before I’m fully sold. Definitely an idea I didn’t consider.

@Riffus Maximus
The party could always use a healer. Actually one of the character concepts I was considering was an elf serving a moon God.

@Lurking Shadow
Lots of ideas there. For the first one, I could see an altruistic necromancer being fine. Perhaps necromancy is no big deal in their world, but it is seen as evil in the various worlds they travel to. The second primitive culture would also fit this RP. But the third idea with the crystal infection is a little iffy as I’m not sure if Pax Celestia would accept a God who is actively assimilating other beings into its followers.

@ActRaiserTheReturned
Morally gray wizard would work.

@Crimson Flame
A Fairy prince would be fine, especially if you already have a world in mind.

@Kumbaris
Glad to have you. Please send me that PM.

@Teyao
Well if you decide to join this, do you have any character in mind?




So I’ve decided on a character. He’s from an original race of people who wear masks that denote role or rank in society. After a God was killed and his body was absorbed into the ground, it released massive amounts of Mana, causing about 70% of the population to be born with some kind of magic. My character would have lightning and speed magic and would be a professional monster hunter. Eventually he would be noticed by the God of Stars, Travel, and Courage. Given a magical Starlight Lance, my character would become a replacement Champion for the God after the previous one was killed in battle.

Also this RP got way more interest than I thought it would. As such I’ll cut off new players when I post the OOC thread in a few days. Didn’t think this would catch on so much.

Maybe the champion of Warhammer 40k inspired God of Dreams, the blessing would be a Silver Bear and he would have Support magic but focused on buffing the Bear.

Just a bit worried it overlaps with two others characters

Edit: I think maybe the way to go would be a crafter, the Champion of a god of the Forge
