@Dark Cloud Bolas is another pretty typical example of a New God. A narcissistic, genocidal, megalomaniac. Becoming a New God is the worst thing to ever happen to him, because he went from being a big fish in a tiny pond to a tiny fish in the ocean.

@Dead Cruiser The problem is he used his Oldwalker ooga booga to repair the whole rift bullshit in Dominaria and then decided to get strong on the worship of a plane full of morons.

@Dark Cloud Anyway the path to ascension as one of the New Gods has many roads. In most cases it involves divining the Secret Name of God from some arcane science, magical study, deep meditation, or uncovering a lost secret somewhere on your home world.

Interested, and I'll follow the progress here. I liked the reverse Dante's Inferno feel in K6BD and the MtG premise has always been strong.

Okay here's the CS template and a quick sample character to get an idea of what I'm looking for. The main things that will get me to like your character are creativity, a good theme, and tonal consistency, and so I've left the best instructions I think I can manage to achieve these things in the CS.



Feel free to format or add anything as needed, as long you keep everything that I've put forth.

Here's a sample character that I probably will not play.

I'm trying to do something surreal possibly. Still trying to wrap my head around the Key system though.

@ZAVAZggg Okay the simplest way to understand it is if you know what a Planeswalker is as the Key is essentially the equivalent of a Planeswalker's Spark.

I don't play MtG, and the part that confuses me is the fact that these Keys are supposed to add something new and can't just act as a natural growth of some pre-existing thing or experience, etc.

@Dead Cruiser

So I'm taking it that the divine words/aspects are not already decided, we'll decide our own?

Can we play as a character who took one from another, previous New God?

My thought right now is a character who was loved(or at least desired) by a sorcerer on their own world. and was given immortality and invulnerability by them(this sorcerer could not bear to witness my character grow old and less beautiful, and beseeched the abstract ideas of time and change to spare them). A New God invaded their world to add it to His empire, but was not able to destroy my character, who plucked the star from His very brow and took it for themselves.

EDIT: second question, is there a set number of those aspects? I believe in K6BD it was seven, but obviously that may depend on how many characters are wanted.

@ZAVAZggg Yes correct, the Keys are not natural parts of your characters.

@Stylobilly Yes, you pick your own aspects.

Becoming a second-generation New God is a bit fraught, but doable.

The only issue I have with this idea would be that immortality and invulnerability are very difficult commodities to come by, even for New Gods much less just a regular sorcerer. Remember how much effort Mottom has to go to just to maintain her "youth"?

And no, there is no set number.

@Dead Cruiser If you have a full-stop problem with it, that's alright, just let me know so I can work something else out.

The idea was inspired by Baldr, in Norse mythology, whose mother made every thing(with one exception) in the world promise never to hurt him, leaving him(almost) invincible. It creates drawbacks that are outlined in the bio I'm writing, and from a meta-gaming standpoint he has at least one specific, tangible weakness I can think of(along with certain strategies to deal with him).
