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

So whats next on the IC agenda?

@LokiLeo789

Most people are stuck with tests and such things. Things will slow down a bit (have already slowed down tbh)

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

@Double Capybara Its moreso to kinda stick it to Teknall, but I don't need to. Logos's interest in the Hain is slim at best.

As far the Royalty Portfolio. Yikes, hate to break it to you, but I always intended for Logos to branch into that since day one. He literally is the God of Kings. Maybe branch into Democracy?

And I already wrote up her coronation. But genuinely, Royalty/Sovereignty is a portfolio I'm looking to pick up.

In the event of Elysium's coronation and the might usage, because Logos is involved, is this the first actual instance of Divine Mandate?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_right_o..

And if so, does this make her reign more or less Legitimate than someone like say Lipfrasil who more or less crowned himself but has the backing of numerous gods.

@Dawnscroll

It does and doesn't. It is not Europa Universalis where you can say Elysium gets +10 in legitimacy for being under Logos.

Again. It is not the might usage. Getting Royality would mean Logos would understand the intricacies of realms, kingdoms, rulership and tradition better. It would mean that for Logos doing stuff into that area would be easy and natural. It doesn't mean, for example, that you can just arrive and say "oh, Elysium is far more royal and legitimate than Lif so yeah, bow to her".

If you are picking a cultural/conceptual port, I think you can't play it as if it were any other godly concept. The return for spending might into stuff is usually very meaningless to the god in terms of stronkness, which is in fact the why my goddess is in such a delicate "defenseless" spot despite being a Level 6 goddess with 6 portfolios, 4 avatars, some of the highest level heroes and a lot of influence over mankind.

If you try to use it like Fire, or Physics... It turns into something very odd and munchkin-like. And I will be blunt about the example, because I have always told it was a problem and we waited until it went completely overboard to voice the complaint. But Amartia's Sin Auto-Win posts about Xerxes going big extremely fast were an example of trying to use a conceptual/cultural portfolio as if it was a the same as a god of fire making a magma sword or a god of the earth making a super metal hammer.

Though this is just my opinion, I'm not a co-gm or anything. I'm probably being a hypocrite too and there is probably someone out there who thinks Ilunabar fits the shoes of lameness I described, but whatever.

<Snipped quote by Dawnscroll>

Logos: Hey guys, I have some more rules!
Literally every other god: lol

Anyway, if Logos and Ilunabar are going to use royalty stuff to different ends, you guys could come up with a compromise, or at least differing things that only overlap a little. See, if Logos gets something like Authority or Dictatorship while Ilunabar gets something more like Regalness or Presence or something? I dunno, just throwing stuff at the wall.

@Muttonhawk

Prestige maybe. My idea was just to be able to expand from Jewelry to general Royal stuff like thrones, tapestries, palaces, big events and stuff without stepping on Loki's toe by taking Pride. I don't care so much about the rulership aspect as that is more of a side effect of being goddamn fabulous.

@LokiLeo789

Have you never seen Jvan?

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

@Dawnscroll I meant in the sense of knowing the story behind it. It's obvious its Toun, but I see no point in just saying "Oh hey, this is the god that created ya" especially when overall a lot of Hain cultures already have a Toun-like figure as their father god.

Spending might doesn't mean anything by itself, like when Ilunabar spent one in Lif's palace despite it being within the realm of the attainable by free, it was about showing off. I guess it would be a point into royalty, but please don't pick that or I will have to truly steal pride from Amy.

But... Coronation of Elysium you say?

You know... There is a goddess who is quite good at this whole event setting thing. Literal owner of aesthetic, excels at interior decoration, also got the best jewelry around. She would to it for free even.

@FickleSickle Just something that I feel like it could help this a bit. Introducing the idea + mechanics would be more enticing than the lore first, it took me a while to realize what you were going for.

How would Logos even know the origin of the Hain?

Atelier Iris was a fun game, it has been a while since I played it but I like the idea of a crafting themed RP.

I found a picture of some acalya in real life. We're all doomed.

@Muttonhawk

Isn't that more like Jvan's crystal tree thing minus the spooky skeleton?

@Rtron Ilunabar is sunset in basque so I guess it makes sense it lands in a hotel.

A few month ago image searching it led to a bunch of photos of well, sunsets. Now however it leads to a bunch of pictures of almost-naked fairy ladies 'cause of some fantasy book.
