Ferrin has S-class power in his own right. Don't underestimate him...>:}

Edit:
Ferrin: "Wiseass. I am a wiseass. Don't confuse me with some two-bit smartass.

What's the difference?

Magnitude. Like a bomb to a nuke. One just mouths off. The other mouths off well.

@Crimson Raven

Ferrin is 'Hesitant', though, and Nero's curses activate instantly. Doesn't matter if you can make stars fall from the sky if it only takes a split second to give you a cocktail of diseases, reduce your body mass so much that you collapse instantly, manifest your magic into a solid object and then steal it, or turn you into a magic-deficient child.

Nero doesn't do direct damage at all. His curses alter and debilitate. In any straight-up fight, he'd lose quickly if not instantly. Nero doesn't fight straight-up fights. He seldom engages in any kind of fight. In fact, in the course of this RP so far he's used a curse in anger exactly twice: once to make Prince vomit and once to turn Gabriel into glass, and both were really asking for it.

Nero chooses to be annoying with his magic rather than use it to try and be some cliche anime badass. Magic fighting and badassery isn't what he's about. I don't want to just have a fighty badass character. If he were forced to use his magic in self-defense, there are very, very few people who could beat him, but he doesn't. Funnily enough, the guy who's both a dark mage and a mischievous genie is one of the more responsible wizards in the Fairy Tail universe.

@Lugubrious

Oh boy. If Ferrin finds out about Nero's magic, Nero is in for the fight of his life. Long story short, he has a friend under the effect of a Retrogression Curse, and he he is looking for someone with that magic. Not Nero, of course, but Ferrin doesn't know that.

@Crimson Raven

You say 'fight' as if any actual confrontation with Nero would last more than a second. Funnily enough for being one, Nero hates smartasses.

Hmm, did you ask for permission before you did this? It happened in Julkolfyr's personal plane, so even if you did seek permission, I don't understand how it would happen, especially since Slough doesn't know how to get there and probably wouldn't even if told, and doesn't know of the existence of this ring (nor does any other god at that).
Unless there's plot behind it, this is very strange.

@Kho

Arek hasn't objected to it, and there is plot involved.

@OldManWong

I was going to complain about all the gifs until you brought up nonsense into the mix. Stands are for the fabulous and the mighty.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

Several hours passed by slowly and easily, measured by the tick of time and slouch of star. Beneath the shadowed canopy of the Deepwood, myriad creatures roamed. Some hunted for food, or laid traps for prey to snare itself in. Pairs and triplets of Sentinel Spiders, quickly zeroing in on the dirty mounds that the colonies of ants called home, spun sticky funnels to catch masses of the puny critters at once. Those that lived, however, were the strongest, the fastest, and the largest. These better ants the spiders ignored, content to gobble down their less fortunate cousins. The natural law, slow in effect but long in impact, was simple if brutal: evolve or die. Ants remaining in the Deepwood, though herbivores still, would be slightly larger and stronger for each generation as the process of natural selection, as ordained by the intelligent design of the universe, took effect.

In comparison to the lively treetops, where aphids made their homes and extravagant silkies soared, the forest floor seemed like a quiet murk. Only slow things moved in the shadows: Violet Slugs and Emerald Striders. Lithe, dark-spotted cats pounced through the underbrush after big-eyed wild pigs, and after a cat’s successful kill and decadent feast, the Jade Mites would tuck away the rotting remains and bring them back to their lofty, lumbering striders to be digested into nourishing light. In this low, silent realm new creatures emerged from tree sacs, given life by the energies pervading the forest. Flitting after the plentiful, fat bugs that flew through the forest, Snowed Furls moved silently despite their energetic nature. Blue-tinged Slate Apes meandered across the ground and heaved themselves up the trees, seeking fruits and berries. Bushy Arborgators voraciously hunted down the Violet Slugs, deceiving predator and prey alike with their impeccable camouflage. Finally, the Deepwood Sloths, rare and solitary creatures, dug up the roots and tubers of various plants to eat upon, discouraging any would-be predators with their size.

All this went unnoticed by Slough. After nibbling at the grass, she trotted through the forest with no special goal in mind. She encountered a strider and its mites, which floated around her hesitantly before she outpaced them. A wealth of slugs went by unacknowledged, left to squirm around the leaf litter. At one point, she even encountered a low-hanging Duster Ooze, but the gelatinous fiend did not bother the deer one bit. Seldom did wild creatures, even those capable of fighting, attack other beasts they did not instinctively hunt. To do so would be a waste of energy, and they needed that to live.

Some time passed peacefully before Slough found a little spot of sunlight, where the grass grew particularly thick. She bent her neck down to clack her skeletal teeth at it. Barely had she gotten a few mouthfuls, however, then something happened. Slough’s ears pricked up in alarm, but it was too late. From a nearby bush sprung a woman clad in green, her teeth fanglike and her manner startling. Terrified, Slough hopped backward, clearing a dozen feet in one bound, and turned tail. Before she could get out of sight, however, her body abruptly burst into leaves, whirling in some ethereal wind before settling on the ground. The Rottenbone’s fear warped her into another part of the Deepwood, closer to the basin wall and away from Astarte.

The goddess of magic would not find herself stuck with a complete lack of excitement, however. Behind she who imagined herself to be predator, there came a shrill and unearthly cry, and a Nectar Blush pounced from the trunk where it had been clinging toward the intruder on its territory. Devoid of eyes but rich in fleshy sinews, it swung its arm at Astarte with surprising speed.

In the land of Julkolfyr, there happened a strange and fittingly tragic occurrence. The majestic ring of gods, crafted for the unknown purpose of the meddlesome eidolon, stood proud but for one. While its architect lay down, the statue of Slough crumbled and fell apart, leaving only its legs and part of its torso.

-new creatures have come into existence. This does not cost Might, being part of Slough’s domain.

@Crimson Raven

I can see why you'd be totally unable to post given my mistake. I'll go head and rectify that for you.

*Rises from RL grave and walks among the living RP*

Anyone seen @Lugubrious?

@Crimson Raven

I've been here. What do you want? Is it to respond to my post? That'd be great.

Am I the only one that finds this ant business unnecessary and insipid?

For all of your creations could you please make a nice CS giving the basics of them (Name, purpose, description, things it does.) and PM them too me so I can stick them in the CS post I reserved so we all know what everyone's done?

@Rtron

Okay. I already have a bunch of 'em in my sheet, but I'll send 'em to you along with the Deepwood.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

Creatures have been added to Slough's sheet.

Don't worry about the last two sections. There's nothing important in them.
