Ah, sure. I was making sure there was interest before developing everything, but here's a basic skeleton
Name: Name of the god
Pantheon: What the Pantheon is
Pantheon Head: The head of the Pantheon you chose. You don't need permission to join another person's but... they'll be in charge of your faith so...
Nation: What your nation is called. Will primairily be based on one city unless you take over another.
City Landscape: The layout of your city. Is it in forest land? Surrounded by mountains?
Personality: Not much needed.
Legend: What your city will tell everyone else. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TRUE. Were you born from a volcano? From a lightning bolt?
Title: God of the Sun, God of Warfare, God of the Apocalyptic Zombie Invasion
Entitled Powers: Any powers gifted naturally. Needs some sort of connection to godhood or your Title.
Gained Powers: Any powers or special items you gain in the course of the RP.
Misc: Anything else you want us to know.
Does it look like anything's missing?

Essentially, you'll play the role of a god/gods in a ye olde setting where it's a bunch of city-states. The Gods will follow more of the mythological route where they were down to Earth and more humanlike. They will just be a super-powered being with a bunch of normals worshipping them. It is that way that they earn Faith, which can be used to upgrade the city, gods, or even some items. The city/land system will include both armies and technlogy. You will be able to have Multiple Characters, but they all share the same pooled Faith. Additionally, the stronger a Diety gets, the harder it is to make them stronger, so you can either go with the route of multiple dieties or a single powerful one. When multiple gods share the same Faith, that is called a Pantheon.
You will be able to invade other peoples lands, and if you win, take it over. Gods that lose, in either attacking or defending, will have three choices:
***Banishment: Just high-tail it out of there.
***Reincarnation: Your god dies and 90% [tentative] of your used faith is returned
***Join Pantheon: Join another person's Pantheon. They WILL be in charge of distributing Faith to you
You will, of course, be able to join the Pantheon of any other god, even from the beginning, at will. (They will still control your Faith distribution.) If you have multiple dieties in multiple Pantheons, you will be able to transfer faith at a 50% rate. Faith can be gained overtime based on your city, from events, or from waging war. If a resident Diety is kicked out of their land, they will steal 20% of the next favor income. Additionally, based on actions, one city may end up hating another pantheon despite what the dieties say. All citizens will grow to dislike other Nation/Dieties over time, and will eventually end up going to war.
***Powers will naturally come from your title. (E.G. Zhoul, god of Necromancy can raise the dead and curse other city's crops to reduce their favor gain.) It's up to you whether to make it helpful for war or your city, or even detriment other's cities.
***As for plot, in addition to player interactions, an overseas Empire will send frequent invasions of their own. However, because they are so far in between, there is no pressure for Pantehons to band together until the actual attack. Wouldn't hurt though. You will be able to join this NPC Empire as if it was any other player, however returning to an empire is not an option. Other than that, you play a god. Go host parties on Mt. Super Awesome, send a beautiful temptress to marry another kingdom's King, or tell your inhabitants that the sky is blue because one time you sneezed all over it.
***For setting, I was thinking more mundane Fantasy, where magic exists but is rare, and any non-human species are just as hard to find. If you guys want, we can go more high-fantasy. As for technology, that will advance depending on each separate city.
***As for Faith income intervals, I was thinking an OOC week, maybe every Friday.
***General population Rules:
---You can make non-diety characters, but any with substantial positions (Such as King or Army General) or power will cost faith.
---Humans can be NPC'd if it only affects a single Pantheon. The Pantheon leader has the final say.
---If it affects multiple pantheons, such as a battle, they will be NPC'd by a GM if an agreement does not occur between all parties.
I'm not really in the mood to make a post about wailing on defenseless NPC melties, so I'll post once Atomyk and Yog have their characters touch down at the destination.

Have a bio, why not.
Alias : Sister A
Age : 34
Appearance: A woman with darker shade of blonde hair. She often takes to wearing long trenchcoats now that the zombie apocalypse has arrived. She's taken to constantly wearing sunglasses, and even has two back-up pairs. Underneath those dark shades are a bright amber, almost golden in color.
Skill : Nerves of steel, a Saint's forgiveness, and dead-on marksmanship.
Weapon : Tommy Gun, Hand Gun, Sling
Personality :
Brief Bio : Sister A, as can be expected from the name, served as a religious figure. Of what sort and what kind is not known, though she certainly has picked up a few strange habbits and skills. The job was probably as unusual as the person, no doubt. Many people knew about her, but actually knew next to nothing about her. Those that did seemed rather shady, though their faces changed to either a happy or worried one.

Personality :
Good: Extraordinairy spunk that could be considered charisma. Mostly kind, even to those who don't deserve it. Adamantly against killing other people, or harming them enough that they might die. Overall a well-meaning individually, though is also completely raucous and strict.
Bad: Extreme dispassionate hate of zombies and those turning into one. Her liveliness can be annoying at time, and can definitely lead into trouble. The same goes with her pacifistic ways torwards normal humans. Sister A always moves on her decisions with 100% purpose, which can often cause friction between her and others.

Cheese Wiz
She decided she might as well check it out. The guards were already down, so it'd feel half-baked to just go away now. "I'll just keep up along the ground." And now that something more interesting was afoot, she decided to just drop the persona. It's not like she had to explain anything to anyone, so it didn't really matter that much. Alice, of course, still kept her 'costume' on. There was probably going to be a lot more going on. Maybe too much for her to care about hiding anymore. "Let's go." Her words cool and lacking her earlier... vigor, it was clear enough that something was up. She broke into a brisk run past the destroyed barricade.

CHEESE WIZ
Alice didn't really pay too much attention to what they were determining. She had her job to do, so she may as well get it over with. They could do their talking inside. "You gonna do what you decide, Cheese Wiz here's gonna blow the door wide open." She leaned forward and soon was off at full velocity, carelessly cracking the earth beneath her feet. She took the first guard by surprise, smashing her hand through his hold on his gun and grabbing his face. The woman was already at the concrete blockade before they noticed something was up. Borrowing 'a bit' of the grasped guard's energy, she punched her free hand into the concrete wall and vigourously released a blast of black lightning, detonating the walls into the scaffolding and barraging the two guards. Dusty debris spread out behind her as she tossed the now-unconcious guard at one of the ones she had left behind. In the same motion and faster than they could aim for her dusty shadow, she picked up large chunks of debris and hurled them at the remaining two of the guards. Killing them wouldn't do, so she released black lightning to explode them into smaller bits of rubble half-way.
Miss Rose double-checked the guards that had been on the scaffolding, and threw two well-aimed chunks of concrete to put them to sleep. By now, she was more than familiar with what was needed to drive a man to lose conciousness. She started walking back torwards Conduit and Phantom, saluting them in the process. She made a quick stop by the guard who was bowled over by his own ally, kicking the gun out of his hand and letting loose another one against his temple to shut up him. Alice walked up to the two, feeling she had successfully hid her more private powers. All they should know for now was that she could crush concrete with her bare hands and was fast enough to put it to use. Rather than saying something about the event, she simply opened the pizza box in Conduit's hands and took another slice of pizza. "Done and done, know more guards that need to be cheesed?"

Miss Alice Revya Rose
A cocky stance with her arms crossed and sunglasses half-lit through light. Her teeth were in full view, half-scowl and half-smile. It seems she wasn't only going to dress the part, but play it as well. "I'm Cheese Wiz and I dun pay no respect to fools who dun respect. Introduction, solution, resolution. Dat's how things go down. Ya warnin' the fire is hot, but we coo'. Conduu here knows whats up down there, I'm jus' here to knock down the brick walls." This was definitely different from the girl from earlier. Alice's thoughts were something along the line of 'why just dress the part?' A good disguise needed a good act. She didn't know who this guy was, so it'd be best to be careful. Was he hired to help guard the barricade? Or was he just concerned? She hadn't considered the Quarantine too dangerous, since her body was a lot more sturdy inside and out than a human's. But maybe it was? That would mean that something interesting was going down though...

Alright then, just wanted to be sure. Working on a post now.
Hey Yog, is Tom talking to Revya & Conduit? (Me/Zendel?)
