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

Good end to Stand. Unfortunately I'll be leaving town and won't be able to contribute to the followup collab for about 48 hours.

@Kho

Do you want to reclaim Basheer or shall I write his part in the upcoming village-battle collab?

@Cyclone Could she...pretend it's all from Zeph?

And that, kids, is how to tell a lie and get away with it.

@Kho

Probably.

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

@Cyclone Ah, in the resort is he? Belru shan't be passing there xP I guess we'll leave their fated meeting until he finally returns to Vetros and hears of the strange 'Witch-Priestess Yara'.

Edit: or actually, would a magical priestess be called that?

@Kho

Ironically Vetros is super zealous even though Zeph is gone.

Over in the Vetruvian kingdom, anybody that worships gods other than Zephyrion might be called a witch. Anybody who uses magic derived from a power beyond his or that of the djinn could also be called a witch.

She'd be more like the Witch-Heathen-Wizard Yara

@Cyclone Was wondering if one of my characters might stumble by him (only see him from a distance) as they trek the Firewind, along the Mahd, towards Vetros. Walk by him, not name him, and feel a certain dark energy simmering deep within that one, not dissimilar to a certain other dark lord said character has met before...

@Kho

Now he is but only a rebellious and hot-tempered youth living a nomad's life near the Firewind Resort, though soon he shall gain wisdom. That wisdom will be what eventually leads him to darker places.

So for now, there is nothing sinister about him. But perhaps a being like the Bard could see his destiny and observe the darkness looming over him like a stormcloud >.>

@Cyclone I liked part 2 of that post ages ago, I was merely going back through the IC and doing research for my upcoming post, and I read that post (I must have skimmed it before >.>) and deemed it worthy of a like. I don't think you've had any posts concerning Vetros since those two, have you?

@Kho

No; I have everything planned out for my next solo post which will concern Ventus and Vetros, just haven't found the time/inspiration to write it through since I prioritize collabs.

...it will finally introduce that one character I've been harping on about forever.

I think we'd be looking at it from a very Earth-y perspective to consider science and magic like this. Far-future technology on Galbar wouldn't compete with magic. Instead they'd integrate.

Imagine a rocket launcher inscribed with elemental fire runes launching incendiary rockets that erupt into flaming demons on hit.

Imagine a Tesla gun in the hands of a lightning mage who can control its electricity so perfectly that he can hack computers from 500 metres away with a thunderbolt.

Imagine- Biotech space marines who augment their incredible physical and mental capabilities with the power to distort fate to their will so that nothing is impossible to them.

@Antarctic Termite

Imagine Zephyrion becoming addicted to Instagram and Ommok trying to keep a friendly Snapchat streak going on with Slag even after their little fallout...

I think one thing that has been bothering me since the BB's post on magic is that most of the magic is currently without god.

The Adversary's occult for example, how does it work now that the horny underland dude is no longer there?

Furthermore, there are other magiks being constantly created, and it will not stop as we move forward...

Idk, I'm just a bit confused about it.

@Double Capybara

I think Occult can work totally fine without the Adversary since he added it to the Codex in the beginning of the RP. It's everywhere; Occult magic is a part pf the universe itself.

Other forms of magic made now would probably be weaker in some way or at least less encompassing, and they might fail if the creator or source of power vanished.

That's just my take on it.

Lifprasil being androgynous is supposed to be representative of his stance on neutrality.

@poog the pig

Fair enough.

You sure about that whimsical statement?

Look at the second definition that you conveniently cut out ;p



I said whimsical as in random or unaccountable choices to do strange things, not whimsical as in killing children in an amusing or playful way -_-

You'd think poog was a lawyer or something.

There's a point, I feel, where you may start pushing it a little too far, and for no apparent advancement of the plot.

@poog the pig

I would never!

I'm merely a trope supremacist! I simply go for the best tropes, and as many of them as I can cram into one post. *mumbles about how you're implying my edgy tropes are too much*

In an actual seriousness that I lacked before, I'd challenge your logic. From what I gather you just think the child sacrifice had no narrative value and was only in there for 'edginess', but one could say the same for Lifprasil being androgynous, Belvast being a cat, and Bjorn existing in the first place.

Sometimes you just gotta be whimsical to bring something random and different, y'know? Unless it's constant and recurring I don't find myself annoyed with edginess.
