Rising: Gods Among Us

Oh yeah, you can't do that either.

I think it might just be wonky code with the new site. Oh well, no biggie, I guess.

Titans of Earth

Well whenever we get a say so from Fam, either of us can post it up.

Rising: Gods Among Us

I'm working on it, should finish it sometime tonight.

Uh, how do I put hiders within hiders without it messing up?

Rising: Gods Among Us

CS

Name: Alya Basil
Deity of: (Air/Skies, Winds, Freedom, Travel)
Age/DoB: (Currently 2020 AD)
Gender: Female


Darker skin and light brown hair.

Personality: An unsurprising free spirit, and inquisitive mind. She is strong, prideful and full of conviction. She would prefer death over confinement. Both for her, and for anyone else.

Background:Alya was born into the dwindling Bedouin population of Israel, in the city of Rahat Her particular tribe has been displaced repeatedly since the end of WWII, and Israel's declaration of independence, and her parents are some of the last who still maintain the Bedouin's traditional nomadic lifestyle. She grew up in tents, moving from place to place and herding sheep, visiting urban centers only rarely. Her family's traditions left her few choices in life besides marrying, and she opted out of that by joining the Israel Defense Forces. She was a part of Caracal Battalion, which gained fame in the early 2000's as one of the first military outfits to allow women in combat roles. She served as a tracker, and worked primarily in the Negev Desert, locating known enemies of Israel.

Unfortunately, her work put her directly at odds with her own internal nature, but she lived in denial for almost three years of service. It was a visit to a military prison that shook her out of it. Her squad had just hunted down a Palestinian terrorist, and they were delivering him to the prison. There she saw the treatment of people behind bars, including some of her own people, and couldn't handle the thought of it. She tried to sneak back in the middle of the night to free prisoners, but she was caught and almost captured. She knew she'd join them if she stayed, so she fled.

Now she lives a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the war torn Middle East and taking mercenary work when she can. She has a base camp hidden somewhere in Iraq, but only visits when she needs to hide out.

I'm stoked for this to get started.

Rising: Gods Among Us

Looks like this one(and a bunch of others) has opened up. I think I shall try to come up with something.

"Archaeology in the 1920s was mostly drinking and blowing things up."

By today's rigorous academic standards, they were all terrible at their jobs.
But in the Twenties they'd be lauded for bringing treasures and riches to their countries, whatever the cost to the native people of the lands they explored.

I want to do an RP about a group of archaeologists and hangers on in the 1920's, with a touch of good old Hollywood gun toting, risen mummies, and ancient curses to boot.

We can hash out real deets as soon as I have some interest, but here's a few things I have already begun to consider:

Fun character interaction(feuds, witty banter etc) is a must.
As hinted above, this will be a world where "every myth is true." Gods exist, though most have been sleeping for a while. Try not to wake them, would you?
Magic and the like might exist, but not in the overt way you'd see in a high fantasy world.
I have considered steampunk elements, though I wouldn't make this an actual steampunk world.
Possibly episodic, where each player GMs a short storyline in turns, each one focusing on a different job.
I'm not sure whether or not I want to use real locations. I may use fake ones based on real places. Or, if we do the above, each GM can decide for themselves.

Rising: Gods Among Us

Are there any god spots open? I just see from this last page that a lot of people have been dropping.

Titans of Earth

Waiting, I believe. It's not a huge biggie, though.

I'm with Imperfectionist. If we focus on any classes, it should be the four special ones. But only if the writers in question actually put the leg work into it.
