GAME: Crush A Wish

Granted. Cleveland explodes into a massive, city-wide song-and-dance.

Patronage of the Gods

...Sorry. Gonna have to regretfully withdraw my interest as a participant. After looking at my sub load, and other writing/just general stuff I'm doing at the moment, it's going to start causing a little more stress than it should. I love the idea, and hope that this story is gonna work. I'll stay on if anyone wants info, and I will follow the story/be present in the OOC if you'll allow it, though - I like this idea too much to leave it completely.

Patronage of the Gods

Hi there! I'd like to offer my interest... especially since I love Greek Mythology.

For example, @Tenma Tendo, are you aware of Iris?

I'm thinking Apollo, Athena and/or Hephaestus fir the preferred deities - since the latter would tie in perfectly with my want for a Tech witch, Apollo for Sigil magic, and Athena for New Magic.

(Also... what about Nymphs and Dryads? The children of the gods that aren't quite gods themselves, but nor are they demigods. All that sort of thing? Since the Titans are the ancestors of the gods and the Maenads are the descendants, wouldn't it make sense to include one if you want to include the other?)

_{You can tell how overly excited I am about this premise, can't you...}

"You Are Your Avatar"

There was a surge of anger. Something the Mysts had not felt... for a very long time.

"Disregard for life..." it whispered. "Attacking my friends... I am beginning to see you for what you are, Lord of Lies... You will not escape me!"

Bursting through the minions in a cloak of flame, and leaving them to burn, the Mysts continued its pursuit.

GAME: Crush A Wish

Do you not realise that your wish has already come true?

I wish for someone to break this cycle of wishing.

Ban the Person above you

Banned because there's an excess of weebs and I am one of them.

The Gladiators of Arlen

Right, well, I'm going to do this - @Enzayne - and hope they check in. At the very least, show some sign of being present. If not, we'll wait for the one-week anniversary to move on. Kyra can catch up with us later on.

A Better World

Well. Here's a good amount of my character. I'm still looking for the rest of him, it's in that cupboard somewhere.

Morten

“Welcome, Mortal, to the Afterworld. Prove thine worthiness to me, and pass through!”


”Look. Being the god of death isn’t all it’s said to be. Yeah, I can be scary, but that doesn’t mean I’m evil. I just do my job, like everyone else.

Appearance:
As is so often found with gods, Morten has two forms… one is his true appearance, his godly form. The other, he wears should he walk among the mortals… it matters not whether they be alive or dead. His first form is an ethereal collection of mist that inhabits armour, using it to retain
Meanwhile, his human form is that of a young man, at least in shape. But his skin is as grey and as cold as death, and his eyes are far from common. While once upon a time they may have allowed him to watch both realms at once, it is not presently possible. Now they simply serve as something to scare the mortals with… and it looks cool.

Name: Morten

Domain: Death
Morten is not just simply controller of the Afterworld... but its gatekeeper.

Death Domain

Judge, Jury, Executioner: Guardian to the gate, it is Morten that decides who comes into the Afterworld… and in those few instances, who may leave, sometimes causing conflict. Those he can tell are pure may pass through. Any less, and he will look over your life. If you fail to pass his test, then your soul will be sundered forever, to always walk adrift, only finding peace when they cease to be.

Gatekeeper: Morten can open and close gateways at will anywhere in the world, and can travel between them just as easily. However, if he is too far too long from his post at any one point, there is an exponential increase in the numbers of the Undead. Thus, he is bound to the gateway.

Death’s Cold Embrace: If Morten so wishes, he can change the fate of someone’s death… simply by touching them. Often he doesn’t use it, so as to avoid angering the others… but if he decides that the mortal is to die in a different way, then very little can be done to stop him.

Personality: Morten is not a benevolent god. But nor is he malicious. He tends not to work with the other gods. But nor will he work against them. Like death, he simply is there, unchanging, and unavoidable. It comes to all beings, but it does not go after you. Morten is just… Morten.
His relations with some of the other gods can be a little shaky, though. With Aldnari, he doesn’t care for his tendency to cause disasters, thus increasing Morten’s workload. And, in return, he can restrict who the Fire God is allowed to resurrect if they have already passed through. Hrelskíninn, who grants a number of her followers the ability to fight past when they ought to have died, is less of a bother, since they’ll die soon anyway, but that doesn’t mean he likes it. But he will eventually reconcile with them, since he never knows when he will have to welcome them to the Afterworld for the last time.
He can be quite grim, but he will talk casually enough if he isn’t at his post. While he takes a neutral stance on most things, as most things will one day come to its end, he may occasionally be persuaded to get involved. After all, while he doesn’t want to cause lasting grudges, sometimes you have to get involved.

Other: N/A

@CollectorOfMyst

Well, here is my (hopefully) completed god. Any suggestions or changes that you want to point out, feel free.

EDIT: Removed secrets, since in discussion with GM, I discovered while it is still up for grabs, it's outside Morten's umbrella of potential.
