I feel like our gods might get along okay.The gifts your goddess bestows certainly qualify as "oddities", and her benevolence would mesh well with Ielitha Dema's more laid-back approach to dealing with mortals (and the other princes of ruin, for that matter).

Hmmm, that is a valid point. Csonugdytuft may not like what she sees as Ielitha Dema taking advantage of a wronged party by striking a bargain, but that's not a particularly major quibble since unless she's also a dick about screwing up their desires it's not that big of a deal. And I think the Gifts qualify as more than oddities; I plan on having one of the Cult of the Divine Circle's high priests be a sentient mass of flesh fused to a throne. And he started out human. :D

I think he would get along with her too, because its a massive change. The problem is indeed his ambiguity. He just doesn't give a crap as long as something happens xD

Yeah, so I think it'd be less that Csonugdytuft actively dislikes and hates him and more that she just does not trust him at all.

Other than the God of Order and maybe the God of Law, I think Orfai would get along with pretty much anyone. He mainly wants to change things, and since almost anything the gods do will cause change he isn't really bothered by who or what he helps as long as something changes. You enslaved someone? You just changed the lives of them, their family, their friends, the Guards, the search parties who will look for them. Hurray! You want to spread undeath across the world? Woah, that's a big change, hurray! You want to take what everyone else has? This could be massive, hurray! He's pretty much content no matter what happens as long as something happens xD

You know, Orfai might like Csonugdytuft because her entire goal is to spread her Love and her Gifts to as many people as she can, and her Gifts twist and warp people's flesh and makes them desire the Gift and worship her. That's a pretty big change if you ask me. Csonugdytuft wouldn't be too fond of Orfai though, since she desires to help people and Orfai doesn't care if the change hurts or helps people.

Yeah, she is something of a friendly Lovecraftian entity.

EDIT: Oh, and even though I refer to her as a 'she', she's not female. Her gender is 'circle'.

My own name for Csonug will be Choghall, since Csonugdytuff is so hard to begin to pronounce.

That's kinda the point actually. :D

Hey, at least I'm not constantly saying her full name of Ctha-Acharth'Shoa-Lloiga'Otekub'Nach-Yithath'Ub-Yiggub'Gnatholei'Dhuulmitha'Yhan'Thothu'Ub-Uran'Fthonartha'Tsathubo. That wouldn't be fun at all, would it? XD

I'm literally never going to be able learn how to spell it.

I just copy and paste it. It's much easier that way.

Meanwhile Csonugdytuft is a caring, kind, and benevolent Goddess who Gifts you with glorious mutations as a sign of her love (your desire of said Gifts is not important). And all who dwell within her realm have been Gifted by her, and thus follow their Goddess without question for she works towards the betterment of all. So pretty much everyone on her realm (that is sentient) could be considered a member of the Cult of the Divine Circle despite not living among humans. And you know, if you end up stuck in her realm being Gifted probably isn't that bad. Otherwise you would probably go at least a little crazy.

I get the feeling that Nat isn't the kind of God that can keep his ego in check, though that's up to Jeray. XD I feel like most of the Gods with an actual agenda have pretty big egos.

NewSun said
You know what is going to be the most horrific conflict? Nat and Orfai. Oh sweet jesus.

Or Nat and Evarast. After all, they're both rather orderly Gods who believe their way of doing things is right. I can see some butting of heads there.

All the Princes in this thread sufficiently creep me out apart from The Great Enslaver because I made him. This is definitely a good thing. Group hug.

Yay! Group hug!

And yeah, some of the Princes are pretty creepy. And I absolutely love it too. :D

EDIT: And Jeray, I think you should've posted your sheet here to get accepted first.

You know, Csonugdytuft probably doesn't have many allies when it comes to the other Princes of Ruin. Like, at all. I guess that's the penalty of being benevolent. XD

I mean, not that all the other Princes of Ruin are lining up to befriend each other.

Also, that's a really cool picture Khan. I don't think I can find an image of what Csonugdytuft would look like, but it shouldn't be too hard to imagine her since she's really just fleshy wheels.

The Cult of the Divine Circle

The Cult of the Divine Circle is the term generally used to refer to the cultists that worship Csonugdytuft, the Bountiful Wheel; in fact, their name (Divine Circle) is a direct reference to the preferred shape of their Goddess. The cults do not have any sort of specific rituals or laws, they are simply a group of people united in their worship of Csonugdytuft. More often than not they are lead by a Priest, and the extensive cults that exist in some large cities have several ranks of priests. All cultists are also Gifted by Csonugdytuft, as she is not stingy with her Gift and is willing to share it freely among as many people as she can. However the Gifted that make up the Cult and live among humans are not extensively changed; oftentimes the only visible mark is an extra eye or mouth or nose or ear somewhere on the cultist's body. Priests, however, oftentimes have more extensive changes to their bodies while still being able to hide the marks from others. Csonugdytuft is not happy that her Gifted must hide her Gifts from others, but she realizes it is necessary since most humans are ignorant of their desire for her Gifts until she actually shares it with them. And any human who is Gifted comes to worship Csonugdytuft and thus become a part of the Cult of the Divine Circle, which the Bountiful Wheel takes as proof that humans are simply ignorant of their desire and not that they truly do not desire her Gifts.

Most cults are hidden, underground, and secret affairs as most of the populace is ignorant and despises Csonugdytuft and her followers. They tend to meet in secret and away from prying eyes, with new members being acquired by being brought to the cult and Gifted. Not usually brought by force, but rather through half-lies and technical truths. And once the person is Gifted, they are more than willing to worship Csonugdytuft and join the cult proper. In small settlements there may only be a handful of cultists, though they do their best to spread to as many people as they can and in fact some small settlements have been completely absorbed into the cult. Larger cities are not all free of the cult, and in some cases make it easier for the cultists to operate due to the greater population making it easier to blend in. Some cities even have rather extensive cults with a hierarchy of priests, though this is rare.

The problem with Slaanesh is that the subject matter tends to be prone to straying rather close to being against forum regulations.

Yeah, a bit kind of hard to make a hedonistic and depraved pleasure God and stay PG-13. XD
