Just as humans grow and change with time, interests change as well. I wish I had the urge to roleplay like I used to...

@VecThe peasant sympathy thing is implied to be involuntary to some extent. He doesn’t view himself as actively stirring up dissent, but rather merely as responding to material situations. But in any case, he is supposed to be one of those gods that kinda fucks off into the wild and does his own thing for the most part 😆


I hope he doesn't fuck off into the wild and ignores everyone!

wait.... isn't chaos not allowed?


Indeed, Time, Order and Chaos are banned domains, and Creation does not exist. @Timemaster will have to find a different domain.



@Cyclone I suspect your god and mine would make excellent foils for each other, haha.


I like the addition of the Travel domain from the previous CS. The only potential narrative concern I can find is whether "rural revolts gather around his cults" makes him more of an interventionist god whose core function is to undermines other players' goals with respect to civ building etc.

Which I guess could be your goal in the end. Anyway, he is accepted. You are free to put him in the CS tab.

Alright, since we have several interested parties and I have been asked by two people on whether I will make a Discord or not, I will put it to vote on whether it will happen or not.

Please vote.

As for the CSes that have been posted recently, I would like to give a chance to the people that signaled their interest earlier to post their sheet before considering the newer ones. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
I decided to do something else instead



Your concept has a solid foundation with Arstus clearly being benevolent, and a coherent domain pairing. However, it needs significant development before approval (barring the all the strangeness regarding a god of light and stars dressing entirely in black). No, the biggest structural problem I see in your deity concept is his entirely passive motivation.

"Light shines where it is needed" gives you nothing to do IC beyond reacting to others' initiatives. What are Arstus' proactive goals for the world? Does he want to place constellations to encode knowledge, ensure no place remains in permanent darkness, oppose forces that would snuff out hope, or create star-paths for navigation?

Additionally, you've provided zero information about worshipers—who are his clergy, what do temples look like, what rituals exist, which professions favor him? Every other deity submission included some trace cultural footprint, but yours is absent.

Finally, define your divine intervention limits: the roleplay example shows Arstus creating blinding light that incapacitates armed men, but notes he "doesn't do this much" without explaining why not. What restricts his intervention? Besides the mechanical stuff, why would he intervene in such a manner beyond being just "helpful"?

I know I didn't ask for personality section, but I would at least like to have a better understanding of him opinions, quirks, and generally that thing which makes him distinct from "just another generic nice light god", aside from his clothes.
@SilverPaw We're gonna be here, hopefully, for the foreseeable future so by all means take your time.

@Frettzo By all means we'll be happy to have you. If you want to be put on Santa's list, however, I'm not one to shy away from making that wish come true 👍
well, it's time for murphy to obliterate clara and permanently give her social trauma


@Cmmelody Sure, that sounds great :)
I'll wait until Theyra posts the character sheet, so we can go over it. Things can always be changed or adjusted, but without an actual sheet in front of us we are just speculating haha.
@Rekkuza I mean, depending on how a mortal dies, every god could be a ferryman. If a soldier dies in battle, he is guided by the deity of War, if a mortal dies in a cave he is guided by the Deity of Earth, if a mortal dies in the ocean he is guided by the deity of Water/Oceans, etc. Where it gets interesting is this: if a mortal dies whilst casting magic, we could say he is guided by the deity of Magic, however what if the mortal was casting magic in order to kill someone, but they died instead? Would the deity of Magic still be their psychopomp, or does the deity of Murder have a say in this as well?

Regardless, these are questions for after mortals start appearing in the setting. For now, I feel like y'all should be thinking more about how your characters would act upon emerging, and how you'd like for them to awaken into their domain. Shoot me with ideas!
