Bio

World building is totally my thing. I put way too much thought into the world building aspect of RPs I run. Every single one of my RPs likely has a hugely flushed out world that I'm saving away. Ask and I might share.

I apologize, I should have clarified that, but yes ActRaiser is correct. You can specialize in something, fire or death or knowledge, but you don't have to. I was going to explain this all in the next official post, but I'll do it now.

Your abilities are limited by 3 things. 1st: Worship. More worshipers = more power. 2nd: Creativity. I kinda covered this in the OOC. 3rd: Knowledge/Practice. Before you go shooting fireballs at people, you're going to need to either practice a lot with conjuring fire (and get more power) or find someone to train you.

But yes, for the time being the focus is on finding a form with which to present yourself to your followers.
@Asuu Yes it is. Unless this gets super packed quickly, I'm planning on keeping it open.
In the IC
Opening your eyes, you are greeted with near darkness, the only light coming from a dirty, flickering light above you. You can hear the muffled sound of thunder and rain, while your nose is overwhelmed by the scent of burning incense. More subtly, you notice a faint rotting smell. Gathering yourself, you try to move forward but find yourself trapped by unseen forces. Looking down, you see a large pentagram drawn out with chalk around your feet, ancient symbols keeping you from moving, speaking, or doing much of anything. You are about to try and struggle when you hear a voice in the darkness.

“Calm yourself godling. Those are only precautionary measures.”

An aging man with grey eyes, dressed in long grey robes, steps forward. He appears in good health, considering his apparent age. The long white beard and wrinkled skin contradict the strong, straight bearing with which he carries himself.

“We truly are excited that you’re here. But please, feel free to take a moment to gather yourself and find a form that pleases you.”

Looking over yourself, you find that you must agree. This form is inadequate and, honestly, embarrassing. You are a god. What form would be appropriate for one such as yourself?
Antiquity - A Different Type of God Game OOC


Welcome one and all to the beginning of Antiquity - A Different Type of God. Here you play a god. You have only a small number of followers, thus are limited in what you can achieve at the moment. However, you have immense potential and plenty of chances to grow. As you grow, you must tread carefully for everyone from rival gods to god-hunters, shadowy government agencies to otherworldly monster could come after you.

As a god, you can only be killed by either extremely overwhelming force or complete surprise. At the beginning you are young and weak, thus vulnerable. Take time to grow your power base and abilities before making your presence more known. Remember, society doesn't always look kindly upon those who are different.

This RP works through votes. Each player gets an equal say in the actions taken by a single, shared god, thus discussion and compromise will be extremely important. When I update, I look at all responses and write out the reactions to each post. I'll try to write out compromises, or if things are controversial I'll look at which side has the most support.

This entire page is subject to change throughout the length of the game. I will be keeping stats and relevant information below here that will likely change as we go along.

Stats and Information


Nothing To Report

Rules

1) Just about anything goes. If you all want the god to go on a genocidal rampage I'll (grudgingly) allow it. Your only limits are your imagination and (for a time) number of worshipers. I will allow just about anything WITHIN REASON for your power level.

2) If you have any questions about an action ask in the OOC or PM me before posting in the IC. This is mostly to keep the IC clean.

3) Keep things civil. If you have a serious disagreement over something talk to me and let me know. We'll work it out.

Disclaimers

1) Nothing posted in any of the associated Antiquity IC/OOC/Interest Checks reflect actual feelings about real world events, figures, or beliefs. This roleplay WILL likely involve the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), along with other world religions. Please do not take offense to anything that is posted here. This is only a game and we mean no offense.

2) I'm going to be totally honest, a lot of information will come from Wikipedia. I'm a somewhat-busy college student and don't have time to do intense research about every mythology, religion, and legend. If I make a major error feel free to correct me, but do keep in mind I am molding a lot of this information to fit the game.

3) Finally, I am a college student. My schedule is kind of funky so I may not always be able to get back immediately. At the very least, I will get back to PMs and questions within 12 hours.
ETA for the IC/OOC is 3 or 4 PM EST. Glad to see we're getting plenty of interest!
I'm going to give it another 24ish hours before posting the OOC/IC.
I will point out that you don't have to choose this moment. I just wanted to give an idea of how I planned on running this. Nothing is set in stone until the OOC/IC are posted.

I remember this. I'm here. :D
Remember me?


Haha, yes very good to see you ActRaiser! Interesting choice. That would definitely make for interesting interactions.

Interesting. I've participated in this sort of thing before, but never where you could see who's posting what.


The thing about not letting everyone see the others ideas is that it really cuts down on player interaction. Really this RP is about players (you guys) vs GM (myself) rather then player vs player.

We don't need magic, we are divine. We just need to get some follower to get the ol' juice flowing.

First priority should be finding some shepherds!


That's not entirely true based on last time with my experience in this. Worshipers make up the vast majority of our powers but we can shape just a teensey bit for ourselves if we develop a way to do it.


I'll start you off with a small amount of followers allowing for some minor feats, but yes your initial focus should be on acquiring more power through worshipers. Once you're more established in the world the focus will be less on worshipers and more about growing in influence.
