Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

Oh, Caits...
Hey @Lugubrious One of the rule was that each semblance has to be unique right? You can't have two characters with the same semblance. That in mind isn't floodtalon's Bullet Time almost exactly the same as Pop's semblance?


Pop was never a player character. I doubt he'll be recurring. This should be fine.

Cobalt's a good character, but I don't know where to put him yet. Where would you prefer do you think, flood?

Go ahead, shoot me a PM. I'll begin work on this immediately. Again @Lugubrious, if you have any reason that you created my character that you want to be included, definitely tell me and I will happily oblige to put them in there as, again, don't want to mess up any preconcieved ideas you have.


Hm. Why don't you show me the concept when you've drafted it, and I'll think of a way to incorporate it. I will have to look at the character before I can decide the proper course of action to take with its existence.
Hm, well I might scrap the whole darkness idea then. I saw that the guy who was the god of dragons name was crossed off. Does that possibly mean that it is an available portfolio?


Nope, Sauranath is still the god of Dragons.

One that I was considering a while back was Space. Instant transportation, instruction of various forms of travel, creation of portals without might, the strength to move anything around, the power to fold space and create wormholes/black holes, the power to eliminate space and whatever's inside it.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

Perhaps it wouldn't be fear as I wouldn't want to be infringing on Vestec's territory, but it will be something dark and sinister.. perhaps shadows, perhaps chaos, perhaps death? Which sounds the best to you?


Actually, Chaos is Vestec's territory, but he got around the limit by saying that Vestec is the amalgamation of four different beings, including violence, for instance. You could take anything but Chaos and it would be legal actually.
@Lugubrious I had planned a demigod who's domain was darkness and portfolio was fear. As the god/goddess of life, would you still be down to bear me as your child? Could make for an interesting story of your creation gone wrong.


That would work well, actually. Escre isn't your typical god of Life. Right now, Vestec encompasses darkness and fear, but having a less chaotic embodiment of the two would be favorable for Escre, particularly one linked to it. I'll give you free rein on how your demigod comes to be: incarnation from nothing, birth, or 'promotion' of a mortal.
Uh, well, holy crap, but I'm having to rescind my statement about Fairy Tail not killing characters. I'm barely into the Tartaros arc and we've got a 250+ death toll.

Whoops
Gardening in this heat is lethal. =~=


I usually try to get the weeding done in the early morning, before the sun gets all up in my grill.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

It is my understanding that you would need to.. do it... with another god to create me?
But yes, I would happily oblige, just have to throw together my sheet.


Well, technically with a mortal would work as well, but being the god of Life has certain privileges.

Edit: At least, I hope it does. Escre doesn't have a gender.
Invidia, the Liaison


”If you think that Escre hates the Anju, you have a poor conception of its mentality. Like me, the Great Spirit thinks only in terms of logic. The Anju presented a balance to outsiders that could be allowed to continue. Of course, killing things for simply existing, and not even to survive, is a strange sort of balance, but nevertheless it has been allowed to stand. If Escre found the Anju intolerable, it would eradicate every single one. If not—congratulations. Your race of murderers has been allowed to persist.”

“Surely you're not attempting to paint the Anju as the victims here? There is nothing to them but death and discord. If we didn't kill them, all they'd be doing is killing us more quickly. When peacetime is nigh, the Uri have culture, creation, and a million other things that make their lives worthwhile. Your analogy is faulty. I expect that was the point, but the only reason this audience is extending as long as it is lies in my pretending that every word from your mouth isn't lies. It remains that your Anju are nothing but killers if they do not limit themselves to those they were meant to slay.”

“Your infiltrators are not so clever as you think. The Anju's existence is known to every Communion member, as is their modus operandi. Posing as mortals, perhaps they may cause a momentary stir, but the lifeblood is incompatible with them. The places where my monks congregate are drowned in its fumes. You are also mistaken about the nature of our powers. Other magics require gesticulation, incantation, flashy displays and spell preparation. The lifeblood flowing in us is more passive. When we are wounded, it instantly begins to heal us. Strike a skilled monk a hundred times, until the walls are soaked with his blood, and he will still rise.”

“And finally, you are wrong a final time. The Great Spirit resonates with every living thing. When it created the Astral Home, it filled Galbar with life energies without which this planet would be barren and dead. It is why every animal has a spirit. Escre's workings are subtle, but they go deep. Any being with a spirit is linked to Escre, and though it cannot feel them all the time, it can reach them through the Astral Home. Would that you could see the souls streaming into the Astral Home even now, through those veins. They are colored and shaped very differently. Humans are white and soft, Cimex are yellow and ridged, Dyun
were red and in flux, outsiders are black and soft, Mer are blue and fluid, and so forth. Anju have none, but like hair, a perceptive individual can pick the bald one out in a crowd. They all hum to their own tunes, and their tempo resonated in time to that of the Great Spirit's. The more potent of Escre's creations hold a permanent beat on its own spirit, such as mine, and the Home itself. These, Escre can feel all the time. The High Ones are sympathetic in nature, and often answer when called upon.”

“I may not yet fully understand human emotions, but I am acquainted with the idea of patience. I believe my own is running thin. It is time that you left this place. Take a good look, as well; soon, none save Escre and those it summons will be able to enter. Then, depart.”
Invidia stretched its arms out before holding up spindly black fingers as if they were claws.

An unnameable distance away, the god of Life was beginning to home in on a destination. It had found a section of space near an empty planet, alight with a gorgeous yellowish nebula and lined with asteroids. It had grown tired, however, from creation and travel both, and stopped now to rest in this wondrous, cosmic garden. It felt in the distance, the dim pangs of something extraordinary happening. A godly soul had been destroyed—no, partially destroyed. Then...reborn, in glory and power. Escre made a mental note that it would have to pay whomever it was a visit.
