I have an RP idea in mind where you play either a militarized task force designed to eliminate paranormal activity, or something akin to the Umbrella Secret Service.

I am trying to worldbuild god civs akin to the Time Lords or Xeelee, but so far I've yet to get anything concrete down. It is a tad frustrating, but I'll come up with something eventually. I hope.

@Obscene: And that is true. I might try that with a character I'm making for a fic actually. Though they'll be no-nonsense in a largely jovial kind of way.

Yeah. Static was just what popped into my head as the closest descriptor since those are less focused on the character's arc or internal struggle. Not the best wording to use admittedly.

I just want more protagonists with that same resolve, or barring that ones who aren't confused young adults looking to find their place in life analogues.

@Zyx "Peacekeeping" in a very loose sense of the word is probably what most Gods that live in Heaven are engaged in day to day. They are a fractious, overwhelmingly martial, and often short-tempered bunch, and duels among lesser Gods are a common sight. Minor Law Gods, Gods of Justice, Peace, and similar titles arbitrate disputes, end disturbances, and hunt down rogue Gods.

However...

Their standards are are dependent on who/what they swear fealty to. Pantheons are alliances of gods, but function like competing gangs within the city/multiverse. Small pantheons are like street gangs. Larger ones function like the mafia. The biggest serve as the functional governments and organized religions in Heaven.

So it's fine to say "I'm the god of XYZ" but without support to back it up it's a quick way to becoming "god of being a dead asshole" while someone with connections loots your universe.

I hope I'm getting across what a ruthless place the center of the multiverse is. Literally everything is at stake.

With the seeing the future thing, there is no past or future in Heaven. Time describes a process that happens within universes, Heaven is explicitly outside of every universe. So she has a good motivation for leaving, but she would find her foresight useless within Heaven.

Seeing the future of the Multiverse requires perfect knowledge of everything that exists, as well as everything that does not exist. The last God that tried it had her eyes burn out of her skull.


>In the case of the former, since you do make an analogy to the mafia, I could see a god in that vein having a story more focused around intrigue and trying not to get stabbed in the back. As far as the latter goes, it gives the character a good motivation to just not leave Heaven period, or perhaps to fight other gods they simply lure them into traps where the foresight can work. I do want to try going for a god who's less fight-y though, if possible. I've had my fill of that as it is.
@Zyx See above with mention to Gods. A description of what specifically your character does, and what they did to escape their world would be more relevant information.

Pretty much nobody cares what you get up to on your home World. If you start screwing people over in Heaven, then you tend to get your head cut off and universe annexed.


>In that case I have two ideas. One for a god who's more like the enforcement or peacekeeping side of Heaven, or at least thinks of themselves like that anyway even if the other gods don't, which plays into the whole order aspect. Or a god who was obsessed with knowing the future only to become capable of doing so after reaching the apex of their world, and now just wants someone to put them out of their misery since they no longer get enjoyment from an existence robbed of uncertainty, which can play into time to a degree.
I'd pretty much handle it on a case by case basis. At the level our characters should generally be at, power is more of an abstraction.


>I see. In that case how would a god of order, akin to Jyggalag, be? I'd normally go with something like time, but that's usually a no-go outright since most people don't want to deal with temporal mechanics in roleplays.
>@Dead Cruiser What are the limits on power beyond no omni or "do anything" abilities?
<Snipped quote by Zyx>

Alrighty, I think I'm going to pull my interest for now. Thanks for having me!


>No problem.
Two ideas

-Comically mysterious raven-haired/white-haired woman from the ancient race of plot devices- I mean elves ("comically" might mean no one can remember her name, no one can read her handwriting, and/or the adventurer's guild she works for doesn't remember hiring her, much to her elegantly concealed annoyance)


-The chuuni catgirl little sister who actually does have powers but they just never go her way (she poses and yells a spell name and something unrelated in the background explodes)


>I think we could do with an elf. Maybe one who can't be remembered because she randomly shifts between her dark and light forms, possibly with a personality change in the process? Not saying that has to be the case, just an idea. Also, do close both hr tags, so remove the space between the r and closing ], that way they display properly on the final sheet.
@Zyx I was thinking like a literal sword with stick man arms and legs.


>That's a no-go I'm afraid. Doesn't fit the theme of the RP.
@Zyx The real question is can I be a literal sword, sword-wielder?


>I'd prefer you to be an actual character if possible.

>Don't get me wrong. The idea sounds humorous, but also not really like much of an anime trope or subversion thereof. Or even a parody really, unless we're talking about someone who's a living sword with a humanoid - or humanoid adjacent - form who wields a sword as a weapon because they themselves have no one to wield them, then it might work.
>Welcome!
Still around, woop


>Good to hear. I look forward to seeing what you'll come up with.
