Couldn't people not at the games interact with one another and do their own jobs? There is almost no reason that people shouldn't be posting.

First, perspective. But I actually lost what I was originally typing because I was dealing with children at the same time I was working on that post. I'll edit it to clean it up and get as close to what I originally wanted as possible, just wanted to get it posted before I got ninja'd.

And it wasn't brutally, he wasn't going to let her get herself killed.

@Zarkun

Want to do a short collab for afterward?

No more takers on the Arcana, then...?

I'm working on a reply now. Should be a lengthy Damian post.

@Zarkun

Is Damian aware that he must seem like something of an assbag by brutally beating a member of a guild, then confronting the entire guild, then saying that they're only focused on being mad rather than valuing their comrade, then calling them out, when in fact they stopped being super mad to tribute their comrade?

Frenzy Plant's Soldiers

The silence was palpable. Even before the decisive blow had been struck, a new mood had settled over the colosseum. They had come today expecting entertainment, sportsmanship, and talent; they received instead a near-battle to the death of utmost seriousness. A little after halfway through, the crowd had stopped cheering except for decisive moments, when one fighter struck a powerful blow or stood back up after sustaining one. And when it was all over, the unconscious broken body of Frenzy Plant's champion lying still in the sand, only a few brave souls dared to cheer.

More than a few eyes turned toward the stands where the members of the soldier guild were standing. They beheld something rather frightening: an entire guild, seething with rage. From the looks on their faces, one would have been forgiven for thinking that every man and woman among them was about to leap from the benches into the arena, chase Damian down, and rip him limb from limb. There was a clanking noise as Xyster's Harvester appeared, as it always did when the Dullahan wanted to hurt someone. The rest was grumbles, growls, and muttered threats.

But the soldiers didn't move. Instead, their anger began to ebb. They were too well trained to release their ire in furious bellows, or to thrash around, or to charge forward and exact revenge. Other guilds might have done so, but this one was stronger than that. Sure, Hyun had seen them as tools at first, barely even thanking them for saving her from drowning in her wine, but in the following years she'd become a strong ally and fast friend to nearly all of them. Seeing her put down so indignantly, and her dream crushed, hurt the entire guild. But they would not stoop so low as to be petty about it.

There came a noise.

Donk, donk, donk, donk donk.

Zander had produced his dongers, and was smacking them against one another to produce the loud, reverberating sound. At first he was looked on with astonishment, but soon after, understanding. Before long, the other team members, and then finally the entire guild, had raised their dongers and joined him in a tribute, not for the man still standing, but the woman who'd fallen, hoping never to awaken.

Afterward, they were seated. But Xyster's scythe remained summoned, Indigo's eyes narrowed, Zander's mouth frowning, and most of all Demetri's forearms smoldering and shimmering with the barely-contained heat of a volcano. Anyone around them knew, that sooner or later, Damian would pay, an eye for an eye.

huh did i miss something what is that?

@liferusher

Proteus, the Hanged Man, in the mission More than a Feeling, was one of the Arcana. So is Ludo, who I haven't delved into yet. The last one I made recently stars in an upcoming battle.

Does that mean I'll be waiting a while longer XD

@Zarkun

Nah, I'll work on a post before I do any more.

Would anyone be interested in making members of my Major Arcana, the Mystic Beasts? They might get used in a later story arc.

So far I've made 7 out of the 25.

Its like a mace, but the metal spiky ball is attached by a chain.

@Oblivion666

I know what a flail is, but you said 'how to hang a flail' and I have no clue what that means.

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

@Cyclone Yar.

And Frettzo, yeah, the whole Holy Site thing with Escre is a plot device. We need Escre to get a tad bit more powerful than everyone else for him to be a viable villain of sorts. It's not a reward for Vestec's corrupting his holy site at all. We were actually discussing it before Vestec did that, and it just seemed like a decent time to get that started. Given Escre's previously unimaginative and somewhat servile nature, him suddenly deciding that he is better than everyone else got the Arch-Gods' attention (Invictus' attention, not Fate's. Mainly due to Invictus' personality).

Anyway, @Lugubrious just curious as to what you were referring in this bit in one of your recent posts:

'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.'

@Kho

That was Arguis. If we decided that he didn't do the whole order thing, that paragraph is moot.

Oh, and Escre's thinking that it's better than the other gods stems from its lack of emotion/desire for self-indulgence, which means that it would never do things like start wars on a whim. It's not a pride thing; it is a I-will-do-the-awful-things-that-other-gods-do-so-I-am-trustworthy-of-power thing.

It is interesting to note that if other gods can convince Escre that they share its impersonate, generally benign outlook on mortals and physical creations, it might take steps to spare such a god from the eradication.
