[@ActRaiserTheReturned] As I said I'll make a Discord if the majority want for it to exist. Right now it seems we have 1 vote in favor (you). [@Theyra] I remember you from other iterations of the Divinus roleplays. IIRC you liked playing loner gods that did their thing without interacting much with the other players. Do you think that you could be more involved this time, in this roleplay? Just curious. In general the gender/sex of your god is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things because divine appearance is fluid, especially insofar as how they choose to appear to mortals, of all people. I would suggest that your main questions to yourself when creating a deity concept be this: [list][*]What do I want to create? [*]What do I want my deity to be known for? [*]Which domain pair is most thematically appropriate to what my deity is centered around, and will facilitate the best result possible for me from the get go?[/list] [@Necrodancer] This is a beautifully written concept with genuine emotional depth. However, there's a critical issue that I feel I must address: [b]"desires endless war"[/b] is campaign-breaking. In a game where players are cooperatively building a world, a deity whose core motivation is perpetual warfare will be in constant opposition to any god of peace, agriculture, family, healing, or civilization. This creates an antagonist dynamic where you're mechanically incentivized to sabotage other players' goals. What if you to reframed Adria's motivation from active perpetuation to reverent observation? She doesn't cause wars, but when mortals go to war, she appears to honor their sacrifice and preserve their stories. Think Valkyrie (witness/collector) rather than Ares (instigator). This keeps all your beautiful imagery and emotional beats without forcing you into a villain role (unless, of course, you want to be a villain as well. In this case I can accommodate just like I did in Yzechr's case, but you'll have to be certain about it.) Additionally, the Music domain needs meaningful integration or replacement. Currently, every "music" reference is actually about war (drums, battle cries, funeral songs), these are subcategories of War and not standalone Music expressions. Either expand Music to cover warrior culture's artistic expression broadly (war poetry, epic songs, marching cadences) or replace it with something that fits better like Glory, Sacrifice, or Fate. Finally, resolve the compassion-versus-desire contradiction: your motivation says Adria wants endless war, but your roleplay shows deep sorrow and maternal tenderness for dying soldiers. Pick one: is she a compassionate witness who mourns the necessity of war, or does she genuinely want conflict to continue? I'm happy to approve once these alignments are clear.
