Bio
I am a Roleplayer with an interest in science fiction and fantasy, with a preference for Casual. I have been roleplaying for several years, and have even taken a stab at running a few RPs.
Outside the Guild, I am an Australian science student, gamer, musician and roleplayer (that's right, IRL too).
Divinus: The God Roleplay, Mk III We are new-born gods, summoned into an empty World by the powerful and enigmatic Architect. Our purpose is to create and fill the world of Galbar and the godly Spheres surrounding it, although with such a diverse pantheon there is all manner of disagreement over what to fill the world with. I co-GM this roleplay. I also play as Ashalla, the Goddess of the Ocean.
Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk2 We are new-born gods, summoned into an empty World to create a Universe where the last one was destroyed. Some wish to build it up, others wish to tear it down, and there is great conflict over what kind of Universe to create and what to put in it. I play as Teknall, the God of Crafting. He's a nice guy. I was also promoted to co-GM about half way through.
The Horde of Evil Under the command of a Dungeon Keeper, a horde of powerful beasts, monsters, warriors and demons sweep out to pillage the world beyond and battle against powerful foes. But a horde of the vilest beings in the land is far from cooperative... I played Torrens Igneus, a cunning fire demon and veteran servant of Dungeon Keepers throughout the ages.
Dungeon Keepers In this iteration, the Keepers arrive on a new world, in the land of Cyprus. This land is small and rich with resources, ripe for conquest. Yet it is ruled by a powerful and strangely unified nation of humans, with a King who has more power than he should... I GM'd this one. I controlled King Reginaldus, the sorcerer king with the power to read and manipulate people's minds while they slept. I've played in numerous past iterations before, although not all were on the Guild.
Sanctuary In a land where magical crystals power modern technologies, a terrible Cataclysm strikes the capital city. Spirits good and bad are unleashed upon the populace, and the military seal the entire city away behind an impenetrable wall. The spirits fuse with many people, granting them powers but also driving many to evil and violence. The players must try and survive in this post apocalyptic cityscape, and maybe even find a way to escape. I played as Zachary Mason, a kind-hearted, prodigious engineer, who is possessed by Kaa'is. He gains powers to control metal and read machines, but Kaa'is also drives him to become physiologically addicted to murder, an addiction he tries to suppress.
BattleCorp: Combatant Creator Tabletop section. The gist is that you get to invent your own special moves when you level up, tailored to your hero. I played David Pierce, a serious and dark gunslinger.
Considering what Vestec has been up to with the creation of the undead, Farxus isn't going to like him very much. Unfortunately the chaotic little shit is just a bit to big to take on right now.
Let me get this straight.
Farxus does what he can to assist the undead, generally to 'move on'. Farxus is Demi-God of the Undead. But Farxus doesn't like that fact that undead exist in the first place.
(n.b. the undead did not exist before Vestec made them, in case that was unclear. Reathos once summoned a skeleton army, but that was Legion's last ever post, so what happened with that we don't know, and it was a once-off thing anyway)
P.S. I'm not questioning your logic or character. I'm just making sure I'm understanding the situation.
You could make the argument that it disappeared when Reathos died. Or you could argue that it still exists. I do not think its fate has been canonised yet.
I would argue that it still exists, OOC'ly for story reasons (why throw away a perfectly reasonable contribution someone made a while back just because the player has disappeared?), IC'ly because many creations of the gods are self-sustaining, and thus can continue even without their creator's presence.
The functionality of the Lesser Eyes of Reathos that allows Reathos to possess the crows is now deprecated, but the seeing True Names and witnessing death should persist.
@BBeast I have a question. Since my character will be focused on having crows around her most of the time, is there a chance that someone can appropriate the Lesser Eyes of Reathos? Also, is there a way to tell a cursed crow from a normal one?
From what I gather, the Lesser Eyes of Reathos do not have any external signs. Such crows will go out of their way to locate those who are dying, though, and presumably you could detect the curse by magical means (especially considering your Portfolio). Also given your Portfolio, you could probably create a similar effect.
Your avatar is that? That's so cool! I had thought it was that project that was on the news a while ago about something similar but with black holes or something. Although, it could have been your project, I can't remember clearly. Either way, nice job.
When you get them, show us the snaps of your next project if you can. I love electron microscope pictures.
My project never made it big enough to get on any news. You must be thinking of the LIGO gravitational wave detection, with accompanying general relativistic simulations showing the merger of two black holes plus the emitted gravitational waves. My project just wanted to see how much the neutron star remnants (pictured) weighed and spun.
<Snipped quote by BBeast>
I'm willing to wager that you did your all to make that sound as incomprehensible as possible xPP Or, even better, you tried very hard to bring it down to our level and speak in the language of the uninitiated-into-the-wonders-of-the-scientific-world-of-Hogwarts muggle-plebs.
In simple terms: Last summer's project: I used a computer to smash two very compact stars together and watch them go boom. This summer's project: I'm trying to find a way to make a clean rock surface in ultra-high vacuum, so I can get a clear look at the tiny magic pixie garden in Mutton's description.
@Bright_Ops, why hello there you familiar face. What Cyclone and Mutton mentioned, plus what's in and below the OP, covers most of the global affairs. I'll fill you in on some specifics to Death and Undeath.
Considering your Portfolio in your demigod, I take it you are familiar with how Vestec effectively created the undead and how they work? Details are present in the character tab if you've missed it. The rate of undeath is 1%.
Also significant to the undead are Lenslings, made by Jvan. Lensling groves are tended to by Urtelem. Lenslings can infect undead, although it is generally easy enough to avoid. Infected undead grow into Lenslings. Undead may choose to approach Urtelem to become Lenslings because becoming Lenslings allows them to dream, something previously not possible for them, and provides a path to a proper death. More info in the character tab.
And what @WrongEndoftheRainbow mentioned is actually significant for you, with Farxus being related to Reathos. I'll explain. In the early days Reathos created the Wraith Stone, which is a physical, subterranean object where souls are collected when they die (if they do not become undead instead). Reathos has been able to use the Wraith Stone to observe the memories of someone who died. It has been implied somewhere that such souls are eventually recycled, as part of the cycle of life and death, although nobody's gone into it. The Wraith Stone is important for anyone dealing with death. The Wraith Stone forms a connection between the world and the Primordial Pool, which was made by Reathos before creation and deals with souls and stuff.
After Reathos' death, a couple of things happened to the Wraith Stone. It is still operational. Firstly, Teknall found it at one point, and repaired the guardian, which was an Avatar of Reathos. Secondly, and this is where the dwarves come into it, Vestec went out and turned Reathos' body into a mountain in the south pole, and moved the Wraith Stone to that mountain. The dwarves, with their leader Lazarus, moved in shortly after. A possible point of entry for your character is through this Wraith Stone, with some meddling by Lazarus to make things happen.
There also exists this thing called a True Name. The True Name is bound to your soul, and cannot be changed by any means. Reathos is capable of seeing True Names, as are the 2% of crows cursed with the Lesser Eyes of Reathos, but normally they are invisible. It is visible as a series of glyphs floating above the person's head. Canonically, the True Name has no special powers, other than being immutable, although I imagine that True Names would find use in magic spells as unique personal identifiers. Potentially of note: the True Name of a white giant is more of a serial number than a name.
Presently, I do not think that the interaction between crows with the Lesser Eyes of Reathos and the undead have been canonised. Since the undead keep their old souls, their True Names should be unchanged.
Scattered about the world are some artefacts made by Vestec from Reathos' corpse. They each have special powers, most of them related to death. Some of them are undiscovered. Some have been found. Details are probably in the character tab, although they may not be. I haven't checked.
Wandering the world is Oradin-Thulemiz, who is a Hero played by Kho. Oradin-Thulemiz is a powerful necromancer from a past World who wants to make an undead army. He is currently in possession of at least one of the Reathos artefacts- the crown which lets you command undead. I foresee a clash occurring between Oradin-Thulemiz and Farxus at least once, considering their conflicting goals.
Wow. Successful human beings. A rare breed indeed T-T am jealous, I want a research scholarship. I just want to research in general. For Divinus posts.
But good on you two! Let us know how it goes! What'll you be researching?
(Hazarding a guess here, but BBeast will probably be researching the linguistic miracles of elvish).
My project this summer is on preparing perovskites, a type of semiconductor mineral, for analysis under electron microscopy.
In my avatar, you will see a screenshot from a project I did last summer, which was using computational fluid dynamics simulations to model the merging of two neutron stars.
In other news, I have been procrastinating writing up a summary of all of Divinus. It is quite interesting reading back through events and seeing how things click together.
I've finished the first six pages of the IC. I'll let you have a look:

In this plane, The Divine Annalist, Hexahedron Historicus Creato (aka The Cube) is created. - Vowzra: -1 Freepoint to instill dislike for all things Jvanic, -1 Might to create a personal plane, -9 Might to create a Holy Site (The Cube). 115 - Logos, Elysium - 20,000 Realta are created to guard Arcon. Elysium, a Realta of flesh and bone, is made, and claimed as Logos' daughter. Together, Elysium and Logos guide the evolution of life on Arcon. Humans are created. Humans are gifted with fire and form communities. It is realised that Logos has long-term plans for humanities in the Immortal Game. - Logos: -5 Might to Level up to 3, -2 Might to guide evolution of all life on Arcon, -1 Might to create the Realta, -1 Might to create a Hero (Elysium), -1 Might to create Humans, -1 Freepoint to give Humans fire, -1 Freepoint to gibe Humans community. 116 - Niciel - Niciel soothes the hain which remain in the Valley of Peace, who form a tribe.

Heartworm had been secretly observing, and also leaves. - No Might spent 119 - NPC hain - A story of Slough, her guardian Esau and some hain hunters is told by hain. The story has little point, as Slough acts like a mysterious wild animal. - No Might spent p7
I did expect much more of a fight from the Realta though. I guess not even them can last long against a Gundam...
Well, Teknall took one look at the Realta, noticed they were going to utterly wreck the mortals, and decided to intervene directly. Nothing short of a god can stand against another god, after all, and while the Realta are powerful they are a far cry from divinity.
Those Realta which aren't unlucky enough to get blown up by the divinity still put up a big fight. Heroes struggle to battle them. Villages and cities are levelled before them. Mortal forces only really have a chance if they have powerful magic (or equivalent) on their side.
@Slime I'll throw in the caveat that you can only destroy as many as there remains alive to destroy. Thanks mostly to Teknall and Goliath, this is a substantially smaller number than the original 3333.
I am a Roleplayer with an interest in science fiction and fantasy, with a preference for Casual. I have been roleplaying for several years, and have even taken a stab at running a few RPs.
Outside the Guild, I am an Australian science student, gamer, musician and roleplayer (that's right, IRL too).

[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/176075/ooc]Divinus: The God Roleplay, Mk III[/url]
We are new-born gods, summoned into an empty World by the powerful and enigmatic Architect. Our purpose is to create and fill the world of Galbar and the godly Spheres surrounding it, although with such a diverse pantheon there is all manner of disagreement over what to fill the world with.
I co-GM this roleplay. I also play as Ashalla, the Goddess of the Ocean.
[url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/91565/ooc]Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk2[/url]
We are new-born gods, summoned into an empty World to create a Universe where the last one was destroyed. Some wish to build it up, others wish to tear it down, and there is great conflict over what kind of Universe to create and what to put in it.
I play as Teknall, the God of Crafting. He's a nice guy. I was also promoted to co-GM about half way through.

[img]http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/demetriknighthawk/L327062392.jpg[/img]
Under the command of a Dungeon Keeper, a horde of powerful beasts, monsters, warriors and demons sweep out to pillage the world beyond and battle against powerful foes. But a horde of the vilest beings in the land is far from cooperative...
I played Torrens Igneus, a cunning fire demon and veteran servant of Dungeon Keepers throughout the ages.

In this iteration, the Keepers arrive on a new world, in the land of Cyprus. This land is small and rich with resources, ripe for conquest. Yet it is ruled by a powerful and strangely unified nation of humans, with a King who has more power than he should...
I GM'd this one. I controlled King Reginaldus, the sorcerer king with the power to read and manipulate people's minds while they slept.
I've played in numerous past iterations before, although not all were on the Guild.
[url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/2293/ooc]Sanctuary[/url]
In a land where magical crystals power modern technologies, a terrible Cataclysm strikes the capital city. Spirits good and bad are unleashed upon the populace, and the military seal the entire city away behind an impenetrable wall. The spirits fuse with many people, granting them powers but also driving many to evil and violence. The players must try and survive in this post apocalyptic cityscape, and maybe even find a way to escape.
I played as Zachary Mason, a kind-hearted, prodigious engineer, who is possessed by Kaa'is. He gains powers to control metal and read machines, but Kaa'is also drives him to become physiologically addicted to murder, an addiction he tries to suppress.

Tabletop section. The gist is that you get to invent your own special moves when you level up, tailored to your hero.
I played David Pierce, a serious and dark gunslinger.
