@Double Capybara WAREHOUSES FULL OF DILAPIDATED HUMAN-SIZED DOLLS THAT STILL TWITCH FROM TIME TO TIME

trying to perform tasks that nobody remembers

shuffling with twisted joints that nobody knows how to fix

Now I really want to explore the idea. What Tauga will be creating is much simpler, though. Ragdolls and rope snakes or such.

@Jarl Coolgruuf Looks good! Just make sure you run it past Bright, since your characters are fairly similar.

So. You're saying, they need to be...uplifted into racehood.

@Rtron

Tauga has the ability to manipulate fiberlings and is headed to Alefpria. Give her time.

I'd prefer if the whole fiberling family stayed non-sapient outside of niche cases like Violet though. They're probably the simplest, most adaptable and best creature I've designed for the setting and I think they're more interesting if they're kept inhuman one way or another.

I see some is pumping the bilge of a Tounabar ship while it's still in the dry dock. HMmmm.

You're gonna love what Whisper decides to name her weapon.

Well I did notice a curious lack of anything to do with water or the ocean in the domains and portfolios, but Jvan is already kind of a sea-god by physical location and Zephyrion is (was?) sort of the storm god. And the djinn tackle pretty much everything related to the elements or nature. Murmur even tackles sound.

Maybe I could have done something with a djinni character but Vitrum is basically the exact same thing as the character I would be making.

It's so hard to think of an original (and useful idea that would give me something to contribute and write about for a while) domain/portfolio that I've actually been considering just writing from a mortal perspective. Seems like all the good concepts for demigods are taken.

@Obsidian

I noticed the lack of water gods too :/ Jvan's only there because there's the weirdshit is better down where it's wetter. I'd be happy to see a dedicated fish person down there, especially considering her current projects are all at the bottom of the ocean.

I never struggle with coming up for demigod ideas, though. I feel like we are sorely lacking elemental deities right now. As I recall, we have metal, light, air, and... Nuclear fusion, I guess? There's a lot of room for material portfolios tied in to a symbolic domain, or vice versa. I was once tempted to play a depressed god of Water (Isolation), for example, way back when. Other things I've played with include Cycles (Erosion), Death (Remains) and so on. Fear (Lightning), Fertility (Dust), Love (Flowers), Emotions (Masks), Journeys (Sail), Light (Candles), Language (Ink)... And what have you.

There's also not much in the way of portfolios specific to a set of creatures or cultures. All I can think of was Occult (Demons). Riders (Companionship, Trade), Water (Ports), Air (Tengu), Cities (Poltergeists, Lowlives, Nobles), Night (Werewolves), Rivers (Naga) and so on.

...i may or may not have like four different Divinus ocs that i'll never get to use

Hang on, no, I was wrong, Slough left a whole bunch of interesting species in the savannah. They're in her character sheet.

Firewind, Gilt, Changing Plains, Barrens, Steppe... Who knew having a bunch of semiarid lowland environments cramped together in one place would be so confusing?

I'll figure out some way to rationalise it in a little bit.

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

I would explain the reasoning in which I used to write that post, but it seems this has garnered more or a positive response. I'll let it slide.

Gilt Savannah... Doesn't have all that much to it right now, that I can remember. Whisper had a stint there feat. herdsmen and fisherhain, Tira is from nearby, Basheer spent some time there telling hain to defy their instincts if they didn't want to anger the spirits, a command which they surreptitiously ignored (sounds familiar *cough cough Catholicism*). In terms of culture and wildlife, I've been thinking of it as Galbar's version of sub-saharan Africa.

Basically, unless I'm forgetting something, it's a grassland full of tribesmen that has no horses and therefore isn't Rukbany.

You are able to see into the future. How does the avatar above you die?

A mongoose monstergirl with even slicker moves challenges you to a dance-off. With your life in one hand and your honour in the other, you accept.

I'll take heed of you warn.....This is Amartía we talking about, right?

And Ventus and all his djinn?

@Cyclone

It's not a dogpile until three hundred hypercaffeinated girls rock up from the bad side of town with glowsticks and drinks.

And by the bad side of town I mean orbit. And by dogpile, I mean party.
