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

<Snipped quote by Antarctic Termite>

I wonder how Jvan will react to a sentient race that is naturally formless... but can shapeshift to look like anything?

Would he think they're awful, for having no shape? Or would he love them for their ability to be anything?

Vulamera is making them.

@Hael

Strictly speaking, fiberlings are shapeshifters by nature, so she has no problem with amorphosity.

Vulamera's existence annoys her because, as a god, she was given the chance and creativity to become anything and she still chose to become 'nothing'. Similarly, if these shapeshifters live up to their name and willingly explore their potential to take on new forms, she'll like them; If they stay as featureless spheres or clouds of consciousness and only morph when they really have to, then there will be problems.

By problems I mean 'she'll pout for a little bit and then go on as usual but occasionally give Vulamera a sidelong glare'.

Update on post: Still happening. I've gotten the biggest sections done or mostly done. Just one more day. Try not to go too crazy with posts over the next twenty-four hours.

It's not entirely furball bullshit this time, just partially.

Before I get so tied down by catching up that I forget to mention...

"A misshapen freak from whose decaying chunks more freaks arise!? This is most distressing news To think that not only does such incorrigible ugliness live on this world..." he turned and winked at Hyoban. "Such as yourself, but that somewhere there totters a living factory of it! I am... -hurgh!- hard-pressed to not hurl in repulsion."

@Lugubrious

Allure's lovestruck antics are a blast to read, but if he becomes relevant to the next Slough-Ventus collab, would you do me a favour and let me know? Jvan finally has the means of keeping a close eye on Slough via Maize, and she- more specifically, her avatar- is not going to be at all pleased to see some half-naked vandal threatening violence against her favourite girlfriend, no matter how perfectly tanned his pecs are.

oooooHHHHH That mega-collab made my study period a lot more entertaining than I expected it to wind up.

Well done, lads.

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

I feel like Ashlings already occupy a pretty White Walker-esquire space in the current compendium of species, although I'd be pretty proud of this roleplay if we managed to introduce yet another parasitoid sentient race without major thematic overlap. Parasites, man. Parasites.

Also totally up for building a Troy or two.

@Scarifar Oh fuck, whoops. I think I had some or other yarnball suffocate a hain while it was within the Nice border earlier. How strong is the effect on non-sentient critters? Does predation count as murder?

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

I'ma start working on my next post. Ull'Yang's making dragons, Meimu and Notte just stole humans, and the J-Girl's about to put together some fairies. Also finally putting some actual development into the sculptors.

I fail to see what the perks of being immobile are but to answer your question, no.

@Vec

I think so far our couch potato deities are the ones with the really outsize bodies, so I guess one advantage is that they're not only immobile but immovable objects. If some effort were made to attack them or any structures they're hiding within themselves, it would probably fizzle out on the fact that there's just so much god to get through before you start doing them a hurt.

This is good if you're providing divine sanctuary for a hero but don't have or trust the security of a personal plane. Also, Noah's Ark backup disc of your creations.

Can you pickle things in tears?

Is the only requirement of the medium for it to be a salty fluid or is there something else I'm missing here? What even is the funny-tasting brine they sell buckets of feta cheese in?

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

And that all life not created using Slough's life essence means blah blah blah White Giants attack them, blah blah blah they're unnatural, blah blah blah.

@Scarifar

Can I just pop in to mention that I really, really love how muddy the concepts of 'natural' and 'unnatural' have and will continue to become? I feel like it fits the whole mood of different deities competing to function and create within the same world really well.

It may have been the Chaotic influence of this ruined, scorched place, but Vulamera did a very un-Vulamera thing: she took on a body.

@Hael

*TEN THOUSAND FIBERLINGS SING JVANIC HALLELUJAH IN THE DISTANCE*

A very nicely detailed collab, though, so well done to you two. Looking forward to the divine coathanger saga next section.

Mammon shoots an arrow at Ull'Yang, but misses and kills Jvan instead.

That treacherous bastard

Vowzra taints Mammon's food, killing him.

Ain't karma a bitch

Would it be a great blow to either @Kho or @Antarctic Termite if either the big ant or Navy were cut into tiny, tiny pieces?

@Lugubrious

For all her size and speed, Navy is far from immortal, and still within range. Go ahead and kill the poor thing if Allure feels like giving his muscles a good hard flex.

@Lugubrious@Kho

REDWALL.

YOU'RE PUTTING REDWALL IN THE RP.

I SUPPORT THIS TEN HUNDRED PERCENT

@Rtron

fuckin' furries

Nah, I remember Redwall fondly (if not very well), and it's a lovely little classic fantasy touch if these therianthropes ever get into Galbar. Also, it'll give me more options for Sculptor morphology.

@Antarctic TermiteOi, what do you have against obnoxious teenagers?

@Fabulous Knight

They're like a mid-stage Pokemon evolution with a dorky design that everyone has to suffer through anyway because they like the final product. I'm thinking Golbat.

Does this not look like fourteen-year-old to you?
