Age of Rebuilding: Return of the Gods

My intention from the start was to focus on nature, not necessary earthy elements and minerals...

I think Kalla hits on a lot of the niches Nnemerra was first intended to fill but I think shifting more away from the "wildness" that basically defines Kalla's abilities and getting more domestic with Nnmerra's life-giving (making it all about the harvest, agriculture) will help her stand out. I'll likely take some pages from Hera and Demeter's books and make her a Goddess of fertility, a "guardian of the human race", so to speak.

Getting back to work on her! Any important discussion I missed? I plan to flip through eventually but not atm.

ANd Gaia's the not-Earth, 'course, okay. I'm horrible with names that aren't "Bob", "Joe" and "Wendy" so I'll definitely be flipping back and forth from the Characters tab.

@dragonmancer Gotcha. I'll be sure to distinguish between my Goddess' old haggle of worshipers and what's left of them. The world as it is known is called "Kilgarrah"?

Regarding my application, I foresee it being a really fun one to write. As a notice, I don't think I'm going to take the "spend-all-evening-cranking-out-an-expanded-character-idea" approach. More likely, I'll be working on bits of my character app at a time over the next few days. I'll try my best to be timely about things, though! I do have a decent bit of ideas fleshed out already. The gist right now is a "Mother Earth"-esque figure who rules over agriculture and was widely recognized amidst mankind as a greatly benevolent and protective force before her influence was torn away.

I'm also debating creating another more minor goddess of balance, order, justice and redemption. We'll see how that goes!

Age of Rebuilding: Return of the Gods

Actually, I'd like these question(s)/concerns addressed before I go any further:

What state will the world precisely be in at the beginning of the actual roleplay? After browsing the other applications, I'm seeing mentions of "towns and villages", even districts mentioned by name like "The Republic of Roarke", as well as descriptions of cultures and religions oriented around the ethereal cast. The bare-bones application itself strongly recommends describing a God's worshipers. Yet the OP emphasizes a "silence" where the Gods and mortals--the people that would physically construct the civilizations and cultures of the world--were isolated from one another, to the point where belief in the pantheon is pretty much non-existent. Not to mention the "cataclysm" that ravaged the world hundreds of years earlier, and both of these events together mean "the Gods have to rebuild a world that has lost faith in them", correct? That's the main hook.

Personally, I'd be much obliged to fill out a "Worshipers" slot but, reading the apps and then going to read the actual plot, I'm a little confused at what we'll be heading into. Can't have followers that don't/shouldn't exist, right? At the moment I'm assuming these other Gods' followers are no longer prevalent and places like the Republic are one of the very few thriving states around but the applications I read don't use the past tense or any other language that implies their characters' worshipers and locations are unchanged from either before or after the cataclysm and silence.

While I'm here too, have a dash of criticism: If the quintessential goal of the roleplay is to recreate the known world, it would be much more effective to give the entire "planet" an identity (assuming this roleplay takes place in a fantastical setting that mirrors our understanding of Earth and the known universe) as well as keep note of key locations instead of only doing the latter. Having consistent continents, hemispheres and water bodies, as well as knowing details like general geography or maybe knowing beforehand what kind of people and animals populate/should populate this "planet" would put everyone's characters on the same page and help prevent us from pulling questionable aspects out of our asses.

Thank ye very much, you two!

Age of Rebuilding: Return of the Gods

If you're still taking players, Dragonmancer, I'd be happy to fill the void where a nature-based god could be. I'd majorly take influence from a handful of Roman/Greek gods: Bacchus, Ceres, Diane, possibly Pan? Or Faunus, as the Romans dubbed him.

Hiii
Recently been hit over the head with writer's block so I decided to reintroduce myself to roleplaying. Hopefully writing along with other people will make writing solo easier for me.

You can call me anything you'd like; Karkinos was a pretty spontaneous name choice.
