Interesting. I was expecting to see savage tribesmen and barbarian tribes. It will be interesting to see how they'll fair in this last alliance of Etherean people.


Thanks. The note I'm hoping to strike with this is the dissonance of a giant flaming elephant-man turning your entire body into mist with a warhammer, and then reciting weird poetry a moment later.
Pretty interested in this.

My concept is basically for a tribe of savage Beastmen that have been driven out of more "civilized" lands, but the other nations have accepted a begrudging truce/alliance with them in this time of crisis. They do a lot of weird shit, like worship something called the "Red God" and obey only "the law of swords."

My champion is an Elephant-Beastman, a people normally regarded as being gentle giants, he's the black sheep among his people because he's a barbarian-warlord. Fifteen feet tall, eight tons, and hundreds of years of life-or-death martial struggle. He's very dangerous not because he's an unthinking brute, but has all of the intellectual and philosophical tendencies his people are known for, but has bent them toward warfare. To what end, none are sure.

His regiment are just called "Red Knights," a semi-ironic title. They swear oaths and practice bizarre (usually sacrificial) rituals in the name of their Red God. The only way to become a Red Knight is to kill your master that trained you, and then withstand the presence of the Red God, which is usually an ordeal that leaves one maimed for life. Their motto goes something like, "If it has a pulse, take its skull. If it builds a house, smash it flat. I will cut God to see if he bleeds, and if he fails me I will kill him too."

Thoughts?

Flash's dance card is currently empty if you wanna do some shenanigans.


Appreciate the offer, but maybe another time. Don't think what you're doing with the Flash will really mesh thematically with what I want to do with Thor. At least for right now.

Anyway Thor will probably be on hiatus until I figure out what to do with the bag I'm left holding.
Going to have to come up with a totally new plot and arc for Thor at some point. If anyone wants in on this I guess just let me know.
Incidentally I'm in the same lurch right now with DocTachyon vis a vis Dr Fate. They got ahold of me on discord over a week ago saying they still wanted to collaborate, but I haven't heard anything back since.

I wonder if both of the people I was waiting on dropping is a sign...
@Lord Wraith OK. I'm already in touch with Sep on discord but I guess I'll wait and see if I can salvage this.
@TruthHurts22 I'm going to have to drop unfortunately, I just don't have the time I thought I would with my current workload from school and whatnot.
@Sep Yeah this leaves me in particular in the lurch pretty badly with Thor.

@Lord Wraith Any recommendation on how to proceed?

As the elderly mortal laughed, Thor leveled a steel-eyed glare at him. These negotiations continued to go nowhere, and this supremely arrogant mortal continued to invite his own demise. The only thing keeping him from crushing the old man's fragile skull to dust was a sense of trepidation that he would be digging himself into a deeper hole, as well as some lingering wisdom from his father that one should abstain from killing ambassadors and messengers. Thor didn't see much wisdom in that at all, and greatly desired to end the miserable existence currently staring back at him. Still, he held back. Enduring endless tricks and aggravation from his brother Loki had long taught Thor that giving in to his first, furious impulse would bring him more trouble.

Lightning flashed in Thor's mind as a connection was made. Loki could be put off by giving him what he wanted, rather than resisting. The cat and mouse game was no fun if the mouse surrendered. This mortal had few of Loki's capricious qualities, but Thor was realizing that his current approach was not making any progress. Trying to lord of these humans like his father would, terrifying them into compliance with threats and force, had gotten him nowhere so far. To win, perhaps he would have to surrender.

Thor exhaled heavily, all of the tension leaving his neck and shoulders, before looking back at Rodgers with new determination in his sky-blue eyes. "Very well. If I have insulted you, I regret it, and I apologize. I hope you understand that... I have had a very long and frustrating day. I was, in truth, expecting a welcoming party. Until a few hours ago I had assumed that Midgard was as steady and loyal a vassal as any of the other eight Realms. I am... doing my best with a situation I was not expecting." While this groveling humiliated him, it also felt like a sort of relief, in a way that his drunken ranting to the vikings in the bar had not. Perhaps because this was the truth.

"My father sent me here to 'rule with courage and wisdom,' and that has been my only goal since I arrived. I understand that this is not what your people may desire, but I fear for the consequences they will suffer if I fail. Even if you wish to be rid of me, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I cannot return until my task is complete, as my father has banished me from my home world until he deems me worthy. For me to redeem myself in his eyes, I can only hope that bringing your world back into compliance would please him." He held up a hand to keep the old man from talking over him or laughing again. "I know I ask much of you, but I don't expect you to take me at my word. There were oaths sworn on this world, promises written in stone and blood. Last I knew, they were still on this world. I can find the old oaths, and I can show you the letters of the laws to which my father holds Midgard accountable. Then we can see what can be done."
Yes I'm sorry school has been completely kicking my ass, please move on without me.
