1 Might: Creating huge landmasses or oceans; or stars and planets if a god is of the correct domain or above Level 5

@Kho

XD That makes more sense

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

You guys calling me crazy?

<Snipped quote by Dat OP>

Yeah I thought that levels weren't everything, it's just Hael made it sound like they were. In any case I'll have Ialu fight the Kraken or literally anybody else that challenges him directly. Even if he gets curb-stomped every time, he'll still keep showing up out of arrogance thinking that the next time will be his lucky one.

@Cyclone

One might doesn't create planets or stars, though. I don't believe Kho ever said how much might either of those take.

Ya, if you fight cleverly and well enough you can still beat my higher-level Kraken, it's just that it won't be easy. All the advantage will be on my side, and Kraken will probably try to lure Ialu into the ocean.

EDIT: Ah, I see now. I believe that was unintentional on behalf of Kho

It's a masculine Egyptian name. I don't particularly think that it sounds feminine if you pronounce it sharply (ee-all-oo) but that's just me. It literally translates to "field of dreams", so if I go with the dream concept rather than pride I'll definitely choose it.

Are levels the only thing that determine the outcome of a fight? What would happen if you just spent 5 might to hurl a fireball or something at another god? That's enough power to create 5 planets, so I imagine it'd do something horrific

And speaking of might, I find it strange that one point can either create an entire planet or a mere continent. Some other things seem disproportional, too.

@Cyclone

1 Might is just an estimate of how much power we used, I think, rather than the exact same amount. I would have like it more specific, though, but I think it's only to make things simple.

As for levels, you really need to go read the first OOC post in greater detail :D, it will answer all these questions.
Here, a quote from the first post:

If battles should become direct, and one god takes up the sword against another, then procedure will be much as above. However, in both cases the level of the gods involved must be taken into account, and so too must the amount of Might in play.
For instance, if we have a battle between the armies of a Level 5 and the armies of a Level 10, but the L5 army has ten heroes and is blessed and has various technologies, bringing the total Might spent on bringing about such an army to 15-18 Might, but the army of the L10 is made up of hundreds of Ug the Caveman's with absolutely no idea which is the sharp end of the stick and which isn't, then clearly, the Level 10 god, despite being a higher level, will be really hard-pressed. So such things must be taken into account.
With direct god battles, level plays a very major part, obviously, but so too does quality roleplaying. If the lower level god puts up a heroic fight and uses all the wit and power available, while the higher level merely plays on the fact that they are a higher level, the 'Forces that Be' may well step in.
For me, quality roleplaying and gripping writing trumps statistics any day. Keep that in mind.

Kho

Basically, Might is important but so is strategy and writing-skills

EDIT: Even if you could create a planet with one might (you can't, but you can create a medium-sized moon like I did) it would be barren to start with. A full planet with life, orbit, and so on would take lots more.

Ialu (I think that's what I'll call him; any thoughts on that name?) would probably accept a challenge of personal combat out of pure arrogance. That is, unless he gets humbled along the way of his ascent.

He wouldn't play fair, though. He would come with some sort of treachery planned or trick up his sleeve, and using that he would try to beat the Kraken at its own game (watery stuff). That's probably Ialu's great weakness: he can't turn down a challenge. It will be rough for him.

@Cyclone

Kho once said that you have to be like 7 levels above someone to kill their God.

So Kraken probably couldn't kill Ialu if you pop in any time soon, but he will challenge Ialu and will beat the CRAP out of him with little effort (not bragging, it's just that Kraken will be many levels higher than you and you would have been newly risen)

If your okay with that when you do manage to ascend, then I'll probably do something like that. Kraken couldn't resist attacking you, I can't imagine any version of these events where he doesn't come down on you.

EDIT: Ialu sounds kinda feminine, so if it's a male character you may want to fix that. Unless it's one of the more gender-less gods, in which case go right ahead; the name is very pretty.

How about you just mix the three of them together and get...

An edgy Elven ISIS with a skull fetish?

@ClocktowerEchos

They decapitate people, and keep the skulls...

Alright, I ruined it. Sorry, everyone.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS VESTEC. NOW THE BALANCE WILL BE DISRUPTED."

*Vestec giggles.*

"IT'S NOT FUNNY."

"It is when you remember I'm the god of Chaos!"

@Rtron

At that point, Kraken will be so seething with anger ("NO MERE MORTAL CAN ASCEND TO OUR LEVEL! THIS IS THE MOST HEINOUS ABOMINATION, AND IT MUST PERISH BEFORE IT CAN GROW LIKE A FUNGUS!) that he'll probably challenge Cyclone to combat, which Cyclone (being a newly-risen god) obviously couldn't handle.

I won't destroy him, of course, but I plan on maybe making it a plotline. Vestec could intercede on behalf of Cyclone and force Kraken to retreat or something.

@Hael

Armadyl is the one-dimensional idiot that I hate most of all. It's not even like they had to work with previous lore like with Zamorak. We knew almost nothing about Armadyl, and they just decide to make him an oversized do-good bird that is god of justice. Whoopee.

@Cyclone

*looks at Ethan's character*
Alright, I'm joking, I'm joking.

Sarodomin is more 3-dimensional. He tried to be good, but he's just dripping with arrogance in controlling-attitude. I'm a little annoyed at how "catholic" his followers are obviously meant to be, but overall it's well-rounded.

Armadyl ain't that bad. He's stereotypical, but you can kinda see (if you squint) where his Goodness comes in contact with his obsession with Law, thus making him kinda Communist in his obsession with orderliness. He's all for Law and Reason, but would you really want to live under his rule?

I hate Sliske's personality, but you gotta pay the Devil his due in that his character is more complex than the others.

Oh, and two words: Brassica Prime.

EDIT: Kho, your thread has officially just turned into a Runescape discussion form.

Also, I don't think Undasis will know what has happened until, as you said, it's too late. But he won't be happy about it when he catches on.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

@Hael

How would Undasis even know until it's too late? :P But back to the important topic:

They tried to make Zamorak not just the one-dimension evil guy that he once was. They failed miserably. Literally every single one of his followers (vampyres, werewolves, Kinshra, Mahjarrat, Butcher Demons, etc.) are unfathomably evil and all the lands that he controls turn into crap. Oh, and he also kind of blew up half of the entire map.

The people that want a pure evil god should have harkened to Bandos. He was both cool and unapologetically evil.

@Cyclone

I like Zamorak because he supports ambition, pushing for your dreams, and believing that conflict leads to greatness.

But, yeah, I agree that it's disappointing how evil they made him. He could have been a really interesting character, but instead the whole wilderness is basically demon-possessed and sucky because Zamorak got mad one day.

But, because of his unbridiled awesomeness, I still support him: I just wish they had done a better job at making him complex

I was a Guthix fan long before it was cool. Even back when they only had Sara, Zammy, and Guthix, and all were one-dimensional characters, I still have the Guthix altar in my damn house. But at the same time, Sliske has to be my favorite character, with Bandos a close second.

@Cyclone

I follow Lord Zamorak now, but back when it was just Sara, Zammy, and Guthix (the Fifth Age, as it's called in-game) I was always more for Guthix. Saradomin and Zamorak were too extreme for my liking, and Guthix seemed to actually care about the world.

FunFact: In the other RP me and you are in together, "Kal" is based largely off of Zamorak (ambitious, fiery and angry)

I played Runescape back in the olden days, before all the new stuff came in. It was the first MMO I ever played, actually. Heck, it was the first online game I ever played...

DANGIT, NOW I HAVE NOSTALIGIA!

*disappears for the next three days to play Runescape, is never heard from again*

Hmmm...if Vestec assists Cyclone in godhood, Undasis will not be pleased

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

<Snipped quote by Hael>

@Cyclone

I always felt sort of bad for Guthix. Screw Silske. He's basically the internet troll of Gods

Anyway, any type of ascension to Godhood that involves stealing something from the God's (god-blood, or perhaps something from the Astral plane) will invariably be super-interesting.
