Forgotten Sands: A Divine Journey into the Unknown

Hmm, starting to think this might be a bit much for me right now. Hope you all have fun tho!

Forgotten Sands: A Divine Journey into the Unknown

<Snipped quote by Cmmelody>

Well, honestly, now that I've had a more thorough look at it, no. Your two domains feel like they're from entirely different deities. Perception (awareness, sight, hearing, sensory truth) has no organic thematic connection to Corruption (moral decay, transformation, degradation). The roleplay example focuses almost exclusively on corruption/temptation—perception barely appears except as flavor text about "hearing cries." Additionally, claiming Yzechr invented sight and hearing is staggeringly huge and creates immediate worldbuilding contradictions. Were all other gods blind and deaf before this one arrived?

@Vec

To play Devil's Advocate, aren't all the gods appearing at the same time? So if a god of hearing/sight is there with the rest as soon as they all become aware of themselves, then it's not like they've been stumbling around this whole time, yeah? And conversely it's not like if there isn't a god of a specific attribute they'd be lacking in that, right? Like... if nobody made a god of Sound, we couldn't speak in the RP.

If need be I can pivot to a god that's a little more central in terms of domain, like sea or earth :B

Ok ignore my last post I just read the last words ahahah

I'll have my concept up later, but I'm thinking a God(s) of some sorts esoteric contrast - Kindness and Cruelty, something like that. Not the most powerful for a creation myth but the world needs conflict, eh?

To be clear, are we replying to this post as an application? Or are you waiting for enough interest to make the thread proper and then we apply? I'm definitely interested just wanna know how to move forward.

I've had an idea of a God for a bit now, one with a dual persona - essentially they occupy disparate (but complementary) domains as functionally two different gods. Split personality, in a way, would that be possible here?

Masks & Magic: The Awakening

Callum | Speak Easy

Having failed to figure out what to do with his hands, Andrew kept them clasped by the small of his back, standing at attention despite how little the gesture meant in this moment. His fellow examinees weren't taking the test too seriously. But he was used to being the point of authority among younger adults who thought they knew better. Hell, if anything he's basically trained to be a leader-- well, "leader" wasn't the right word. The "rock in the storm"? Maybe just someone to look up to. No, that's too hopeful, nobody knew him or each other.

Andrew was decided. If seniority wasn't worth much, he'd have to become dependable on pure action and attitude.

He stepped forward... only for Cade to be half a step faster to the punch. He faltered, awkwardly standing there with one foot forward, and could only really listen. One of the two siblings of the group, seemed the most put-together of them, almost professional in how he handled himself. Andrew was familiar with the type. Get a few "wins" under your belt and you think you're unstoppable. That your word is worth more somehow.

Annoying, really, though he tried to stifle that thought. They weren't enemies here.

"Yes..." Andrew followed Cade, dragging his foot back into place. "It's not just a test of individual merit but one of cooperation. They want to be sure we can act as Guild members as well as we can alone."

He whipped his hand from behind himself and made a motion like tossing a ball upwards. Two shapes surges from the synthetic mist surrounding them, as if they had been in the room the entire time, waiting for their call. The shapes settled around him; on his right, the silver visage of the lion-faced mace, while to his left floated the long nicked blade inscribed with runes.

He addressed them all now, his display having caught all their attentions. "No need to worry, Sinclair, everyone. My name is Andrew, though you may call me Mr. Callum, or by my... aehh, superhero name, 'Speak Easy'." He cleared his throat before continuing, "and I'll see to it that all of you have the support you need to succeed with the rest."

Masuda High - Mr. Hagino's History Class

---

Most sleepy students would have gotten their final Zs in during Homeroom, but most students weren't moonlighting as a secret underground artist.

Hidekichi was operating on autopilot, fishing his history book out of his bag like a zombie, half awake where he sat. There was even some drool out of the corner of his mouth as he caught some 'waking sleep' while their teacher began calling for attendance. But Hidekichi was too far gone to really pay attention to whenever his name came up.

In whatever sorta fugue state he was in, Hidekichi took his pencil to his textbook, idling scratching out lines, angles, diagrams of disparate parts of the project he'd spent all last night working on - an avant-garde picture frame for some random billionaire so he could show off a painting from a different artist. Maybe it was some sort of prank, but whatever. The money was real.

_{"Seventeen minutes to cool b'fore applying the second layer... piece together the broken corner... bucket of kitchen grease..."} To his immediate desk-neighbors it'd sound like some nonsense cooked up in a dream, not the ramblings of an artist on a deadline, and his general rep meant that sketching over the illustrative diagrams in the book could be chalked up to classic delinquency. Really, it was almost on luck that he wasn't suspected of being anything more than some punk highschooler.

At some point, likely past when his name was called and ignored, Hidekichi's head slipped from his hand, chin cracking on his desktop with enough force to immediately jolt him back up. "HOO!" He yelped, part surprise and part oh-yeah-I'm-in-class, "I'm up! Here! I'm here!"

Roses and Daggers - Looking for new players!

Ehhh... rethinking my desire to join this, honestly. Feels a bit too much for me right now, least of all cuz I don't even have a concept of a concept of a character... good luck to the rest of you though!

Dispatch: Welcome to SDN!

No need to wait up for me, might hop in later but for now I think I'm a bit loaded up

Roses and Daggers - Looking for new players!

Ya know, I've been wanting to branch out, and there's a lotta love here so I'd be interested in throwing my hat in. Not to be dismissive about it I'm aware of the commitment so I'm willing to... commit!

I'd be interested in taking a role from Varian, try to help fill out the need of royals from there maybe!
