Koine

As more and more sentient life was formed, their thoughts began to influence the Lifeblood slightly. Their thoughts of gathering more resources and amassing large abundances resonated with the Lifeblood, with a portion of it beginning to have thoughts of its own. Thoughts of amassing its own fortune, its own self. And from those thoughts bore shape. The Lifeblood began to form an arm, a leg, a well-sculpted face with flowing hair. With this new shape, this portion of the Lifeblood began to separate. The Lifeblood itself seemed to resist, struggling to retain this mass of thoughts and feelings within itself. It could not resist for long, though, as this portion broke free. It fell to the earth, and it- no, she, was born.

As Koine lay on the ground, she took in the world around her for the first time, breathing in the fresh air, feeling the grass on her back, and staring at the sun. "So this is what it feels like... to be alive. I think I like it," Koine said to herself, bouncing up off the ground. She then began to examine her body, quickly taking a liking to her gold skin and sparkly, diamond fingernails. It was a body to be proud of, to be composed of such... wealth. Finally, Koine turned in a full circle, trying to figure out exactly where she was. It was then that she finally noticed the primitive buildings and the beings nearby that were staring at her in wide-eyed wonder.

Ah, humans. Perfect, Koine thought out loud, and smiled cheerfully at them, showing off her pearly teeth. "Hello~" Koine barely managed to utter before they exploded in a flurry of emotions and reactions, from running away in panic to getting on their knees and babbling. One brave soul, however, was calm enough to come up to her and respond back, "H-hello, um... Shining One. What brings you to our village?"

"Hmm... Shining One... I like that, but please, call me... Koine," Koine said with a chuckle. "Right now, I am a being with nothing to my name. No need for a title yet." After a dismissive wave of her hand, Koine continued, "So, what is your name?"

"Oh, i-it's um... Ailsi," she managed to stutter out.

"Well, pleasure to meet you, Alisi," Koine said. Walking up to her and placing a hand on her shoulder, Koine continued, "Show me around this little village of yours, won't you? Tell me what this little slice of the world has accomplished."

"I don't think there's much to tell, but I can try," Alisi nodded, and began to lead the way.

"I'll be the judge of that," Koine followed closely behind her.

---

"Well, that was an interesting tour, to say the least," Koine said, nodding as she made her final judgement. "This seems like a good location. Large enough space, with a decent workforce. Given enough time, it may even become a center of trade."

"A what?" Alisi asked, confused.

"Thank you for your service, Alisi. Here, this is for you," Koine continued on, ignoring Alisi's reaction as she flicked a gold coin toward Alisi, who barely managed to clap her hands together to catch it. Alisi's eyes were wide with surprise at the fact that she had just received something from Koine, but was also tinged with confusion. "Umm... Koine, what is this?" Alisi asked.

"Payment for your services, of course," Koine said, with a matter-of-fact tone. "Is there anything wrong with it? Because there shouldn't be. I would know, I made it."

"N-no, it's just..." Alisi stuttered. "I, um, don't know what this is."

"It's... money," Koine said hesitantly. Alisi's continued look of confusion already made Koine dread having to ask her next question. "How far along are we in the development of businesses? You know, the... exchange of goods and services for profit? I do hope it's more further along than those two neighbors exchanging vegetables with each other."

"...Ummm..." Alisi looked away, unsure of what to say, which was all Koine needed to hear.

"...I see I have my work cut out for me," Koine sighed. "I will be staying in this village for a while longer, it seems. I will teach you the ins and outs of the world of business, and you will in turn help me spread this knowledge to as many people as you can. You're a smart enough girl, you should be able to do it."

"Uh, wuh, but-" Alisi tried to stutter out again before being quickly interrupted by Koine. "No buts! This must be done, for the sake of the world."

"...Yes, Koine." Alisi resigned herself, wondering what she had gotten herself into.

"That's the spirit!" Koine said, placing a hand on Alisi's shoulder and giving a wide pearly smile.

Summary

Koine is born, and finds herself in a little village. She is met with a ton of villagers who freak out, save one woman brave and calm enough to guide Koine around. Once the tour is done, Koine tries to pay Alisi with a gold coin, only to find out that the concept of money is nonexistant, and the knowledge of business has never been spread. Determined, Koine decides to teach Alisi how to conduct business, and charges her with the task of helping to spread this knowledge.

Divinus: The God RP, Mk. IV

Koine, Goddess of Business

Name: Koine

Primordial or Conceptual: Conceptual

Domain: Business
The ultimate goal of business is to create profit, whether it be for yourself or for whatever other goals one has in mind. Either way, it will be beneficial, in one way or another. All that matters is that you are the one to gain the benefits.

Portfolio: Money
No business is capable of functioning without the means to pay for goods and services. Money is a driving force in just about every civilization, and those smart enough to wield it understand this. Just be sure that any form of money used is approved by Koine. She frowns upon forgeries and counterfeit, and any attempts to pass them off as the real deal are met with severe punishment.

Their Realm:

The Office

There is a vast open space, spanning along three different dimensions, with thick fog hiding the horizon. Nearby is a single stone brick wall, with a thigh-high table and several chairs and stools of varying sizes. On the wall near the table is a door made of a dark-colored wood which opens up to a room with a desk and beige-colored walls lined with shelves, as well as an orb of light to illuminate the room in the center of the star sapphire gem ceiling. The desk is covered with various documents and calculating devices, and the shelves hold even more books and scrolls containing documentation and information of every single business transaction by every person and business entity.

Behind each shelf is a door, each leading into a room filled with various devices that suit her various abilities. Most are empty, but will be filled as her power grows. One such room contains living quarters for her first Avatar, including a cot and a few shelves for various knickknacks and souvenirs.

In this realm, violence and other similar forms of interference are forbidden. Magic and artifacts fail to function, except those used to conduct business and ONLY business, and physical strength fades. While some divine entities may possess a resistance to the Office's effects, even they are not completely immune to it. In here, the only power that can be wielded is the amount of wealth one has, and, more importantly, the ability to conduct business using it.

Persona: At first glance, Koine is a whimsical goddess, seemingly doing random things such as amassing various shiny metals and gemstones, or donating a few goods and/or services to those in need of them. She chats up a pleasant enough conversation with others, and even strikes up a few laughs every now and then. However, every move she makes is calculated, intended to create profit. Those metals may have turned out to be used for weaponry and armor, with the gemstones sold off to provide payment. A few honeyed words here or there could be used to spark up minor conflicts with certain individual conflicts, and Koine would have the means to provide for their private armies, albeit with a price attached.

Ultimately, it is profit that motivates her, as well as seeing other beings attempt the same. How these genius minds are able to move their funds about, including skillful bargaining and hiding their trail. Such processes are of significant interest and amusement to her, and she is keen to see just where such minds will go. Should they hold her fancy, she may even offer a bit of a helping hand, subtly creating a hint for their next action.

Koine realizes that it is in her best interests to remain in good favor with others, and so keeps up a friendly attitude towards others. It would be bad for business if she needed a powerful favor and there were none to be found, after all. Unfortunately for her, this mindset makes it difficult to genuinely like someone, but at the same time, it is equally difficult to truly dislike someone as well.

Base Form: Koine takes the form of a human female, except her body appears to be made out of gold and various gems. Her eyes are tiny star sapphires, while her long, wavy hair is made of strands of white gold. Even her lips are composed of rose gold, and her teeth are actual pearls. Her left hand is adorned with 5 silver rings, each fitted with a different gem: sapphire, ruby, emerald, amethyst, and padparadscha, from thumb to pinky in that order. Her thin, rectangle-shaped glasses have a dark silver frame and fitted with quartz glass lenses. Her nails, cut to perfection, are pure diamond.

Domain Form: This form is much the same as her base form, except now she appears entirely human. Her hair is platinum blonde and her skin is peachy. Her eyes are sapphire-colored, and she has pearly-white teeth for a perfect smile.

Avatar: Pen
Pen is a 6-foot tall draconian, dressed in a traditional butler suit. His scales are green, and heh as two short horns that bend backwards on the top of his head. His long wings can be folded neatly onto his back, and has a tail with a dark ridge that almost touches the ground. He does not wear shoes, revealing four-toed feet with pitch-black talon-like nails.

His primary job consists of being the receptionist of the Office, letting people into Koine's room when it is time or kicking them out should they get too unruly. He possesses knowledge of martial arts and wields it with frightening speed and accuracy. He also possesses a keen sense of smell, with a unique ability to smell the value of an object or person. According to Pen, valuable objects "smell lovely", while worthless objects do not even have a smell.

Pen is very loyal to Koine, and nothing will shake his faith in her. He also possess a powerful curiosity for anything shiny or sparkly, especially if it is of actual value.

Michael Angie

"So let us formulate a plan, then," Michael replied to Moira, his phone at the ready to write down and cross out ideas. Michael gave Moira's weapon an up-down look, wondering about its capabilities, but a more careful examination would have to come at a later time. "We are apparently fighting a god that has inhabited a human body. A man that can observe movements and copy them with a single study, and can even predict our movements. In other words, it may be safe to assume that physical combatants will be quickly outmatched."

"I do have a proposal: I can use my ability of Artwork to stop Cel," Michael said, summoning his paintbrush into his hand. "Given enough coverage, my ink can seal away a person's powers. Admittedly, I'm not sure what effect that will have on the god residing within him, or if it will even work on a god. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm open to any."

Royal Rumble!

Sure. Significant enough to make a difference, at least.

Royal Rumble!

I was thinking of Michael being able to move ink with his mind. His hands were merely a way to more quickly apply the mental image onto reality.

Royal Rumble!

So, I've been brainstorming a bit on what Michael's core power upgrade would be and how it could affect his arsenal of abilities, and this is what I have come up with. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Powers: Forgery of Magic: Michael creates and manipulates any kind of ink, using it to create symbols and other works of art that provide magical effects to whatever it is being applied on. Effects depend on the symbology drawn and Michael’s intent.

• Dexterity: Michael can move his hands at a very fast rate, lessening the time needed to paint his symbols.
• Forgery: Status Change: By drawing patterns and/or symbols, Michael can apply a series of buffs and/or debuffs, involving things such as increasing strength and speed as well as robbing limbs of movement. Michael can also create basic effects such as levitation or health regeneration. Even certain powers can be sealed or boosted, though this requires an extensive amount of ink to accomplish, typically involving full-body coverage. Inanimate objects are not immune from his ink, either, and can be weakened or strengthened accordingly. His Status Changes will last for as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be dispelled by him at any time.
• Forgery: Magic Circle: By drawing a circle filled with patterns and/or symbols, Michael creates a magic circle that activates when a certain criteria is met, typically when a person or object walks into it, or whenever Michael triggers it manually. Different symbols will create different effects, but most involve restraining and/or disorienting targets. These can be formed anywhere, including on peoples' bodies and even in midair. Unfortunately, unlike Status Change, the effects of Magic Circles are temporary once they are sprung. This includes Status Changes that are applied as a result of the activation of a Magic Circle.
• Forgery: Creation: Michael draws a picture of an object, and is able to construct said object into reality. The larger and/or more detailed said pictures are, the more powerful or larger the objects can be constructed. Unlike Enhancements or Sealings, which are composed solely of ink, Creation Art constructs can be composed of other materials. These constructs will last as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be deconstructed by him at any time. They can be combined with Magic Circles, but will disappear with the Magic Circle when it expires.
