[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

Except that I've got this written and there is a reason behind turning it into a book and keeping it safe for the meanwhile. A plot-twist that you will all rage and scream at me for. It's going to be catastrophic. It's going to be beautiful.
Now if only I wasn't so busy with just about everything else in life my posting pace would not be 1 post per snail

@Kho

I'm guessing the book is going to be the key to controlling the universe... or perhaps the key to creating more universes?

[Kangutso]

In other words, he's going to pull a Kronos.

"Get in mah belly!"

@Hael

Nop, changed my mind, not going with that anymore. You can have it ;)

[Dawnscroll]

@Kangutso *pulls out a scythe* Okay, if I kill him, THEN will you all acknowledge me as King od the Gods? That's how this shit works, right?

So he who controls the book controls the Universe... guess Logos has a new plan.

@Dawnscroll

I said am not going with that anymore. Hael will decide what the book is all about

And no, it wasn't going to be anything to do with controlling the universe

@Kho

XD What? That's as unexpected as a humble Vowzra. But alright, thanks

[Fabulous Knight]

@KhoTo clarify -- are you still going to post the Big Bang, or is that on hold now while the fate of the book is determined?

@Fabulous Knight

It's coming now. Extremely short as the previous post has been rendered invalid, so please do forgive me.

[Fabulous Knight]

@KhoAs an extremely lazy person, I have nothing against short posts.

[Legion02]

@Kho So just to get this right, are starting turn 2? Also...did the universe get screwed over so bad that everything is kind of...well...utterly destroyed and actually worse than just being nothing?

[Dawnscroll]

...so I know I started the conflict. Did.. did I just fuck up this RP? Especially if the other ones were peaceful acts??

[Vec]

WELP, Hurray for the Big Bang. Now that we've done it, It's time for me to reveal the rest of Ull's CS. So, behold...

Speshul Sauce

Ull'Yang is the Primordial Star, the first star ever born into the new Universe formed by its gods. Albeit having come into existence before the creation of the Universe, he was but an empty husk, a shadow of his true self. Following the Big Bang but right before galaxies/stars and the like were formed, he underwent a dramatic change. He exploded into a brilliant and majestic hypernova, signifying the start of the endless cycle of birth, maturation, death and rebirth of the stars, essentially kick-starting the engines of the unfathomable machine that is, the Universe. Due to this, Ull'Yang's existence is deeply rooted in the Universe, forming a nigh-unbreakable link between him and all of the stars that ever were, are and will be.

• Stellar Evolution and Rebirth

  STAGES OF THE REBIRTH CYCLE
  HIBERNATION STAGE or BIRTH
  
  
  
  • Nebula
  • Dust Cloud
  • Globule
  • Protostar
  • Brown Dwarf

  The above 5 sub-stages are the beginning stages of the birth of a star. During these stages, Ull'Yang is unconscious, essentially hibernating. The duration of these stages takes up a fraction of the time of 1 cycle, merely a tenth of it. The process is automatic and thus, Ull'Yang and by extension any other god excluding the Creators, cannot alter it in any way or form. Following the hibernation stage or birth, comes the stability stage or maturation.
  

  
  STABILTY STAGE or MATURATION
  
  
  
  • Main Sequence Star (abbr. MSS)
  • Red Giant

  Entering the stability stage, Ull'Yang awakens from his hibernation and is able to exert and utilise his powers to their fullest. The stability stage takes up all of the other 90% of the time of 1 rebirth cycle. Come the end of this stageŽ· Ull'Yang, now a Red Giant, has to expend Might Points in order to induce a supernova on himself. Through the process of the supernova, the rebirth cycle starts anew from the Nebula sub-stage and Ull'Yang's life enters the next cycle of birth, maturation, death and rebirth.
  
  The necessary Might Points to induce a supernova are as follows:
  

  
  
  • 1 - 5 Cycles --> 1 Might
  • 5 - 10 Cycles --> 2 Might
  • 10 - ∞ Cycles --> 4 Might

  
  Ideally, Ull'Yang should always have enough Might to be able to induce a supernova and enter the next cycle of rebirth. However, in the case that he does not have enough Might, instead of entering the next cycle, he enters the third and last stage· the death stage.
  

  
  DEATH STAGE
  
  
  
  • White Giant
    
    
    
    • Black Dwarf
    In the White Dwarf state, Ull’yang is practically a faulty faucet, leaking essence and thus, severely weakened. If he is unlucky and loses all of his cosmic essence, Ull’yang will become a Black Dwarf and, unfortunately, die.
    
    However, if he manages to not lose all of his cosmic essence, Ull’Yang will collapse further and become a Neutron Star. The reward for persevering and not losing all his energy and dying would be the fact that he would regain his lost power of a Red Giant but with two drawbacks. Firstly, his power, that is his levels, would cease to increase because he would not be able to rebirth himself ever again. He would still be able to generate MP but he just can’t increase his level anymore. Secondly, he would have to restrain his power usage as he would be risking a further collapse, turning into a ravenous Black Hole and thus, dying.
    
    
    
    • Neutron Star
      
      
      
      • Black Hole

  
  Each successive rebirth cycle lasts 2x longer than the previous one. So for example, the first cycle will last just a mere 1 billion years. The second one will last 2 times longer, 2 billion years. The third one will last 2x longer than the second one at 4 billion years etc. Either way, if Ull’Yang manages to stray from the path of rebirth and into the path of death, he would have to appoint a successor to his position or the fate of the universe would be at stake as the death of the Primordial Star will automatically trigger the death of all stars in the universe and thus, destroying it.

Of course, there are positives to being a Primordial Star as well, to balance things out a bit. Fate brings both hardships as well as rewards.

• Primordial Avatar

  Ull can only have one avatar active at all times. Being what he is, appearing in his true form amongst mortals would be quite...unfortunate for that solar system, to say the least. Thus, the avatar would be the connection between him and the mortal world. It will communicate his will to the mortals and it will be it that will take his place, should he deem it necessary to involve himself in the affairs of mortals (war, conflict etc.)
  
  When comparing Ull’s Avatar with an Avatar of a god with the same level of power as Ull, the former would be several times stronger than the latter. Ull’Yang starts out with one such Avatar and each other Avatar he makes costs 5 more Might than the previous one.
• Varying MP Generation

  Ull’Yang’s MP per turn generation also varies according to the stage he is at.
  

  
  
  • Main Sequence Star: 200% of base might per turn.
  • Red Giant: 150% of base might per turn.
  • White Dwarf: 50% of base might per turn.
  • Neutron Star: 100% of base might per turn.

  During the rest of the stages, Ull’Yang enters hibernation and is unconscious or is dead and thus, doesn’t generate MP.

FUN FACT: You can calculate Ull’Yang’s age by following the below Rule:

x_n = ar^(n-1)

Where a=1 (the first term) and r=2 (the “common ratio”)

So for example, if you wanted to calculate Ull’s age at his 9th cycle, you’d just have to do

x₉ = 1*2^(9-1) = 2⁸ = 256 billion years

So...opinions?

[Fabulous Knight]

@Legion02Nah, the universe is fine. Logos is just going to have a giant hissy fit.

[Fabulous Knight]

@VecWait, doesn't this mean you get a net benefit in might points over normal rate?

[Kho]

@VecWait, doesn't this mean you get a net benefit in might points over normal rate?

@Fabulous Knight

Yup. It is to sort out the disadvantage of his character basically being...a star.

[Double Capybara]

So... What now?
I'm unsure about what just happened

[Kho]

@Double Capybara

I would have written to describe the new universe that is in place, but I thought that I'd taken so long already that the best thing I could do was just make it so the big bang happens.
You can write your reactions to it, or you can just start at its end; i.e. we're all now hovering above a planet.
In fact, I'll add that to the post.

[Vec]

@VecWait, doesn't this mean you get a net benefit in might points over normal rate?

@Fabulous Knight

The base MP per turn is 4, without any Holy Sites/worshipers etc. In each of the four stages he is able to generate MP, he gets that base multiplied by the percentage. In case there are holy sites/worshippers etc, the might they generate is added after the multiplication.

[Dawnscroll]

@Vec ...and.... why? I mean, Stronger Avatars, More might... all the stars in thenuniverse... not really seeing a downside here?

[Fabulous Knight]

@KhoI don't really understand the disadvantages. He'll be main sequence most of the time (200%), and red giant the rest of the time (150%) except for at the very start, or if we ever end up passing enough time for him to go supernova -- right? Or can he literally only interact with the world through his avatars?
