@BreakingMe

Okay, whilst I love everything else, she's gonna have to tone down on the powers just a bit. (Maybe give me an idea how she's going to gain them over time? She, like the other gods are going to be relatively weak in the beginning.) Also, the last bit, Umbrakinesis and Necromancy, whilst I think it's okay in the long run, I think having been released by Hades, and no longer being Queen of the Damned, she can't quite have control over the dead and the darkness anymore. However, I am willing to compromise, depending on Hades and Persephone's relationship (if they're on good terms; they don't have to be husbando and waifu for this to happen), Hades can give Persephone her powers back once they get strong enough.

Other than that tidbit, she's very good and very accepted.

@Apokalipse

Excuse you.

exCUSE YOU.

*near breakdown* how did i deserve you and murdoc? QQQQQQQQQQQQ

Anyway, I see absolutely no problem with anything in your CS! Like, waow. Anyway, I am absolutely thrilled to see how she interacts with the other gods. She seems very isolated, but also very troubled. I love how you did the PTSD thing with what happened and what she'd done in her godhood, and her change of opinion of mortals, in particular.

ALSO HOW YOU DESCRIBED HER? Your Appearance section is absolutely the best I've seen like ever. Kill. Me. Now. Your aptitude for describing her in both god form and as a mortal person blew me away. I have issues imagining anything unless it's specific (I have a very active imagination, too active, so active that I tend to have a difficulty of keeping certain images instilled in my head unless they're grounded and offered to me in writing), and you gave me the perfect image of who the Morrigan is, especially as a goddess. So, like...

I'm gonna go die over there, kay? *points at the corner* kaythx.

She's also definitely accepted. '3'

@McHaggis

I guess Bastet is accepted. >_> <_< >_> <_<

jk I lerv her. She is me. She is literally am me.

_{and you did the thing with the cats so how can i not accept her?}

@murdoc

I just want you to know, that I read all of that with a Hispanic accent, in my head. And you also got me deep into Nahautl, which I'd assume is similar to various Mayan pronunciations, if Xbalanque and Xibalba are anything to go by that X is a ʃ (SH). >_> <_<

But, I see absolutely nothing wrong! Aside from the fact that it's better than mine. QQ So, I'll update everything and you can throw him in the character tab!

It'll be wonderful to see how he interacts with everyone, seeing as he's a 'lesser deity' and is pretty much the titular Con-God haha...hahaha. Ha.

EDIT: I like Aztec and Mayan pronunciations a lot better than Gaelic. *stares at Haggis* I'd rather pronounce Coyolxauhqui than Eichthighearn. *staring intensifies*

<Snipped quote by HalfOfLancelot>

I got scared for a minute 'cause I read the first half while looking at my notifications XD

Yeah, I'm excited for this. I was in an RP kinda like this with @Undine but it died ):

But I really like playing three faced goddesses

@Apokalipse

Oh! I'm sorry! XD I shoulda led with like 'Put Morrigan up on the reservations for you!' instead of mentioning someone and then continuing on. Aaahhh.

She was telling me that not too long ago. They referenced the sheet while making the CS for this one, though they didn't copy it.

I hope not.

*Sweats* You guys better not be pulling a fast one on me.

But, definitely glad to have caught your attention! ;D Sadly, at the cost of having the most faces. ;3; Janus bby, why you only have two? But, it's okay, since you used Natalie Dormer.

On the Horizon: A Modern Day God RP

@Apokalipse

Ooh, heh, @McHaggis was going to make her, but opted to do Hades instead. She didn't do much with her, so I'm very, very excited to see what you'll do with her.

*cheers* First Celtic god!

I should probably put something up to denote how many of which pantheon there are currently. I think I will.

On the Horizon: A Modern Day God RP

Omg. I am finally done. Jesus. ChrisTO

I actually enjoyed writing for him, though. ;o But, yeah, if you'd all like to take a look at Janus, then feel free tooooo. He's the kind of guy who likely pops up pretty much at the most inopportune times. D;

On the Horizon: A Modern Day God RP

Since someone _{*cough* Hae *cough*} cut off my fun prematurely by revealing my secret, I've just uploaded the English CS for Benzaiten above the Japanese one in the character tab. Go take a look and meet Benten.

Also HAE. How could you do that to me!? You know how hard I worked on translating that looong CS into another language. You just had to go ruin my fun, didn't you. <3 jk ily

@Undine

I'm that evul. QQ

Guess I'll just throw up what I have so far, it's still a WIP, and @impervious, you're killing me with that Rami Malek and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I love those two too much. :'D

Basic Profile

|Name|

Maximón

|Alias(es)|

San Simón, to his worshippers, and before the Spanish Inquisition, he was known simply as Mam, the pan-Mayan term for “grandson” or “grandfather”. In recent years, however, for the sake of blending in with humans, Sebastian Morales has become his alias of choice.

|Gender|

Male

|Sexuality|

Pansexual Demiromantic

|Relationship Status|

Single, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

|Pantheon/Faith|

Mayan/Folk Catholicism

|Occupation|

On paper, he’s a salesman at a company specialising in agricultural implements, but off the books, he runs a secret, moonshining business out of his own basement.

Appearance

|Godly Appearance|

Maximón, in his true form, is rather nondescript. A humanoid figure, tanned skin and dark hair suggest a Hispanic background, but his face is perpetually obscured by a churning curtain of smoke, emanating from the cigar between his lips, like ripples on the surface of a pond. Much like his effigies, he is most often dressed in the style of 18th-century nobles, colourful garlands of summer flowers draped around his neck.

But, of course, the first thing everyone notices is the blood.

Under his clothes, it’s quite a ghastly sight. The flesh around his shoulders and knees are gashed with angry, red lacerations that never seem to heal completely, blood and ichor oozing from the wounds. They were souvenirs from his conception, and since there was no nice way to put it, this so-called “conception” involved getting ripped limb from limb by a mob of angry husbands. Even the slightest movement causes him no small amount of pain, and his gait often comes off as stiff and mechanical.

|Earthly Appearance|

Maximón looks to be a man of Hispanic roots in his mid to late thirties, olive skin stretched over a tall, leanly muscled frame just a shade off of 6’1”. His hair is dark - thick, wavy locks the colour of midnight haphazardly mussed, and when the situation calls for it, teased or slicked back into a pleasing coif. Under his neatly trimmed beard (he’s barely ever clean-shaven), you’ll find a near-constant smirk, full of placid insouciance; revealing his perfectly straight pearly whites when inevitably stretches into a grin. The same flippancy can be seen in his eyes - deep, brown orbs forever sparkling with levity, the beginnings of crow’s feet marring their corners.

To say that Maximón dresses to impress would be an understatement He is always immaculately garbed - all dress shirts, and made to measure slacks - even in the most casual of situations. You’ll never see him dressed down below the threshold of “smart-casual”, something he accomplishes through sheer force of will, and more tangibly, clearance sales at retail stores. Taking his not-at-all stable income into consideration, it’s almost miraculous that he manages to dress the way he does without digging himself into a hole of debt, which seems to be in direct conflict with the shitty cigarettes he always seems to be smoking.

As is befitting of his drawling, whiskey-fugged persona, Maximón’s always smells mildly of tobacco, alcohol, and incense. The scent seems to have seeped through his clothes, sticking to his skin like a tattoo, and even scalding hot showers don’t do a thing to get rid of it completely. It’s just as well, he thinks, since he spends most of his free time getting drunk at nightclubs, but more often than not, he finds the whole affair an inconvenience.

Who Am I?

|Personality|

|Family|

Itzamna - The creator of Maximón and his three brothers. None of them have seen him since their creation, and even after the fall, his whereabouts remain unknown. Any information is scarce, made up of carvings and inscriptions scattered across South America.

Ixchebelyax - Itzamna’s wife, and Maximón’s mother. Much like Itzamna, little is known about her, and she is but a vague memory in Maximón’s mind.

The Bacabs - Maximón’s brothers, literally. All four of them were brought into existence by Itzamna, from the interiors of the earth, and tasked with holding up the four corners of the sky. While they used to be on good terms, the Spanish Inquisition put a stop to it. The four brothers argued for days, weeks, months about what was to become of them, now that Catholicism was beginning to take root in the minds of their people, and when a consensus couldn’t be reached, they ended up parting ways. Maximón hasn’t heard from any of them since, though he often finds himself worrying about what became of his brothers.

Dorado - A fat, ginger cat that spends its days basking in the sun, doing absolutely nothing of value. On a whim, Maximón decided to adopt a cat from a local shelter. Perhaps he’d hoped Dorado would aid him in ridding his home of rodents, but it quickly became evident that the feline was extraordinarily lazy, and now, Maximón finds himself stuck with a furry, whiskered parasite. Of course, he could just throw him out, but he’s developed quite a soft spot for the cat (not that he’d ever admit to anyone).

|History|

Obviously a gloss on what they’ve done in human history since coming into existence. Must include what they were known for, how they reacted to the agreement to give up their powers, and what they have done since as a pseudo-mortal.

|Opinion on Mortals|

What do they think about other mortals, who have no knowledge of the gods? What do they think about being one of them – sort of?

|Theme Song|

Lazaretto – Jack White
_{“My veins are blue and connected
And every single bone in my brain is electric
But I dig ditches like the best of 'em
Yo trabajo duro, como en madera y yeso.”}

|Favorite Myth|

The Punishment of Loki

Mortal vs. Immortal

|Mortal Skills/Abilities|

What skills have they picked up that lie outside the realm of their godly abilities? Also, what residual effects do their powers have on mortals? Aphrodite being attractive, Apollo being a great guitar player and so on.

|Immortal Skills/Abilities|

While the deities begin to regain their powers, slowly, what is it that your character will be able to do/how can they influence the world in supernatural ways? Bear in mind these will be weakened forms to begin with. Eg. Zeus can’t reign down thunder and murder entire cities, but he can probably cast it at one person; Hermes can run at incredible speed, but not to the extent he could as a God...
