Yeah, I think good Gods aren't necessary to the story; it's much more interesting with all of our Princes of Ruin running about.
Though I have to say raptorman, that's an interesting Prince.
EDIT: And NewSun, while I don't like the idea of having good Gods I would wholeheartedly support there being a group of humans who are dedicated to fighting the Princes of Ruin. So long as they're not like omnipresent and pervasive all across the world.

We need benevolent deities for enemies. ;)
Nah, I think the Princes of Ruin are going to be enemies enough for us all. XD
And in any case you mean 'good', not 'benevolent'. ;D

Hey, you can always opt to change that! I still have the photoshop files open. Just hit me up with how you'd prefer her to be titled and i'll have it down for you in no time! Thanks, though!
Oh, I wasn't talking about my title in a bad way. I actually really like the nickname I chose for Csonugdytuft; it fits her pretty well.
EDIT: And I added in a section about the Denizens of her realm, in case anyone else wanted to take a look.

The relationships between the different Princes should be interesting.
Oh yeah, I agree. That's definitely going to fun. :D
And NewSun, I have to say that I really like the way you do the names of the current Gods. It looks really cool. Though I do find it funny that you have titles like "The Lord of Maddening", "The Lord of Bones", "Lady of the Tall Shadows", and "The Black Mother"; then you have my Prince(ss). "The Bountiful Wheel" isn't really an awe-inspiring title. XD

I think she seems pretty evil, even if she doesn't think she is. Randomly horrifically mutating mortals seems good to me ;)
Well the mutations aren't all horrific; most cultists just have stuff like an extra eye or an extra mouth somewhere on their body (and possibly some rearranged internal organs). After all, if they're all horrifying monsters it gets a bit harder to spread her word doesn't it? XD But she does like bestowing her gifts to random people who may or may not want it (well, her worshipers are probably the only people who actually want it anyway).

Yeah, horrific mutation and mind rape is pretty subjectively evil from the perspective of the mortals she's subjecting to it.
Meanwhile Ielitha is pretty chill for the most part. Kind of an information broker I guess, bestowing secrets and odd artifacts or blessings to her followers. She's got the whole "punishment" aspect though. Plenty of little corners in her realm where bad things happen to people who often only arguably deserve them. :P
Exactly! She's evil but benevolent and kind. It's just that she doesn't view things the same as humans, and is physically incapable of doing so.
She does sound pretty chill. The sort of Goddess who doesn't particularly care what's happening in the outside unless it interests her.
Just use 'Csonugdytuft, The Bountiful Wheel' for simplicity's sake. :D
Csonugdytuft isn't even actually a name or title, it's just the first letters of each section of her name strung together for ease of saying/typing. Even when it comes to humans IC saying her name they just use that unless they're one of her Priests.
And Khan, I haven't noticed that. The other Princes seem pretty evil to me.

I'm probably going to change the Domain once I think up some better words to put there. But as is 'Charity' seems to be a rather adept description.

Domain:
Charity
Description:
Csonugdytuft's form is not set in stone, and indeed any being would be lucky to see her take the same exact form twice in their lifetime. However, despite this there is always a single constant in all her forms; it is a constant that has given her her many names. It is simply the fact that she is composed of at least a single floating ring. Most often there is more than one ring; sometimes they are apart, sometimes they are inside one another, sometimes they rotate, and sometimes the simply turn. These rings, however, are not made of any metal or stone. No, the rings are far softer and comforting than harsh rock or cold metal; the body of Csonugdytuft is made up twisted and contorted flesh and bone. Each ring is formed by bone and flesh and meat and sinew, and it is constantly shifting and flowing; mouths and eyes and faces smiling in contentment are continuously appearing and disappearing across the faces of the rings.
Csonugdytuft is not a cruel Goddess, in fact she is quite the opposite. She is akin to a caring and loving mother to those who follow her, and she wishes nothing more to spread that love to all. Her desire is to spread her Gifts to as many as she can, viewing her Gifts as great boons to the receivers and as proof of her love. She even wishes to spread them to those who do not want them, for she takes pity on their ignorance and fear of her and wants only to make them happy through her Gifts. In fact, Csonugdytuft is physically incapable of understanding that someone could honestly not desire her Gifts, she views them in a completely positive light and she has never had any complaints from those she has Gifted. The fact that perhaps her Gifts, which twist and contort and distort the bodies of lesser beings into freakish and impossible shapes, may also effect the recipients minds has never occurred to her.

Vybonardkrt
Description:
From the moment one first steps foot inside Vybonardkrt they can tell that this is not a place constrained by the laws of mortal plane. It exists in a massive void and this void itself is a soothing white, though most people would not find the featureless whiteness soothing in any sense of the word. All of what passes for solid ground sits suspended in this great void, spread out and sitting motionless in the void as far as the eyes can see. But this 'ground' is not like the ground of most realms, it is not made up of rock or dirt. Instead, every surface of Vybonardkrt is made up of flesh and bone and while it does not shift as quickly as its mother, it does not stay static and unchanged. These surfaces themselves are all connected in some way or another, and vary widely. There are flimsy carpets of meat, floating castles of bone and sinew, halls of eyeballs and mouths, lakes of blood and bodily fluids, and tunnels akin to intestines. It has been described as appearing like as though it is a single great and massive and visceral entity as there is not a single object that appears to have been actually made.
Denizens:
The Denizens of Vybonardkrt are composed primarily of Csonugdytuft's Children and Gifted. The differences between the two are small small, and the Goddess herself views neither one more favourably than the other. The Children are the creatures created entirely by Csonugdytuft, born of her pure and unadulterated power; the Gifted are mortals who have been given her Gifts and now dwell within her realm. The Gifted's origins as humans can usually be seen despite their bodies being twisted and warped, and not all Gifted are horrifically deformed. For some, Csonugdytuft's gifts predominantly show on the inside, twisting and mutilating the Gifted's organs and interior. However, these Gifted tend to be Csonugdytuft's cultists in the Mortal realm, and few of them live in Vybonardkrt itself. So as a general rule of thumb, the Gifted inside Vybonardkrt are the most extensively mutated. The Children, however, do not show the mortal origins of the Gifted. They take any number of shapes and sizes and forms, some of which should be impossible and all of which are terrifying. For the most part these make up what could be considered the native flora and fauna of the realm, since not all of them are sentient. However, none of them harm any of the other Children or the Gifted; not even for food, since they survive by consuming the ever-growing flesh of Vybonardkrt itself. It is also worth noting that one cannot categorize the Children and Gifted into smaller groups, since no two creatures are identical; in fact, some have theorized that Vybonardkrt itself is simply a single and massive Child.

This looks extremely interesting. I think I'll work on a sheet. :D
Not sure what my Prince will be like as of yet. Maybe I'll go take a look at TVtropes and see if I can get any good ideas.

At present I'm just not sure what to do IC. It all depends on if Ollum is still here, really.
Well, rule of thumb: if you think I might've abandoned the RP, then I haven't. :D If I need to leave the RP for some reason, I'll tell you in the OOC. I prefer not to just drop an RP without a word.
