Clutches of Paganism-Interest Check and Possible OOC
« on: March 31, 2013, 06:51:41 pm »

Another multiplayer God-Game; however you are a pagan God in a world already created and inhabitated by tribesmen. Technology is stone-age, before agriculture.
You all will start out as young gods, with your own spheres of your choice; and you must influence the world of your tribes, so they shall grow into prosperous nations with time and energy.
You start with a single prophet, who is completely under your control, to help spread your influence amongst the tribesfolk.
Sound like a plan?
Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)
Any questions to be asked below!Oh and as my first time GM-ing, I will accept 5 people!

@Brood:ANIMALS!!!

Those spheres were just examples, but feel free to go for anything that would be generally known by people, and isn't too broad.
Also, two Children based Gods already? How ironic.

(( I know I'm just working it out, I remember a lot of gods had multiple forms so I figured for later game a human form would have some use, I just can't work out what animal I like.

Children are our future after all :). ))

Name: Urh'raboth
Description: An octopus with a cap on its body in his "normal" form; however, aside from being able to change the species of octopus at will, Urh'raboth can focus and not only alter its body beyond what normal octopi can as well as changing the form of the cap, letting it take on the appearance of a robed and hooded humanoid, with tentacles for arms and limbs and four more mimicking a beard.
Spheres: Adaptability, the Sea

Prophet: Ledali, Elder
Age: About 320 seasons

I hope it's not first come\first serve, else waitlistining

Name: Barrish
Physical Description: Large golden carp. Local people believe (Or will believe)  that he is a father of all fishes and creator of water that later comes to land from the skies in forms of rain.

Prophet: Tamin, 14, male, son of the fisher.
That boy always was lazy and never liked fishing, instead he learned to communicate with fishes via basic shaman magic and used that power to aid himself by luring fish into shallow areas where it's much easier to his with the stone spear used for fishing...
Appearance wise he is quite usual boy, average in everything
As for his character, he is very communicable and spend almost all his time chatting with everyone in the tribe

Spheres: Rain, Fishes

God. Game. Good.

Name: Ulam
Physical Description: A kangaroo with elongated fangs and tribal paint covering nearly every part of the body. The paint regularly changes pattern and shape in an incomprehensible fashion; an outward display of Krem's godly mind. Will-o-wisps can be sometimes be faintly seen circling around Ulam's head, although those who are said to see them are either mad or blessed. His left leg is devoid of fur and under the ever-changing paint is the true name of Ulam in an unknown alphabet. The tip of his tail is grey in colour.

Spheres: Ulam is patron of Old Age and Illnesses. He encourages respect for the elders, as they have worked throughout their lives and have much wisdom to impart to the people. In return for the respect given to them, elders are to lead their families in righteous lives and advise the population on actions to take. As god of illness, he both produces, spreads and treats diseases. He controls both physical and mental varieties. Ulam sees illness as a 'test' to all living things, a handicap to prove their worth. In permanent examples, such as schizophrenia, the test is more on society's altruism and compassion rather than that of the individual. If he believes that people have sucessfully passed the test of hardship, he may remove the disease or even boost the health of an individual altogether, as in the case of Malama.

Prophet:
  Name: Malama Honey-Eater
  Age: 109 (a living example of Ulam's power!)
  Gender: Female
  Description: An old pudgy woman who most would say to be around 50. She is of a darkish complexion and has grey eyes. She has no hair, having shaved it some time ago. She is of average height and walks in a slow, cautious manner during most days. She usually wears the hide of a giant wombat and uses it in such a matter that from a distance, she actually appears to be the creature. She constantly carries herbs and other reagents on her body. Unlike other prophets, she does not ground herself to one tribe; she wanders throughout the lands lodging with one clan for a time before moving on; her god cares little for loyalty to one people over another.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Aww man.
I don't expect to get in but here goes.

Name: Izvakhal
Physical Description:An aging and arthritic grey wolf with one blue eye, and another eye grey with blindness.

Prophet: Aden, a somewhat ironically young man of 21. He is full of youthful vigor and strength, with wild eyed certainty he preaches that all things will eventually end, that nothing is permanent. No pain or joy will last, not even the mountains and oceans will be there forever.

Spheres: Age, fate. Izvakhal is a god of inevitability, of the end of all things to come, for all things must end. He encourages a sort of fatalism in all of his subjects, encouraging them to abandon emotional attachment.

God game? In.
Same here

Name: Makkur, Hunting Ape, Beast-master.
Physical Description: Big orange haired ape with lines of purple fur which mimic tattoos. Often covered in blood of animals.
Prophet: Arban, 21, Male. As prophet of Hunting Ape he's a strong, full of energy young man, who proves his worth by hunting. For vitality is not only staying healthy but ability to descend life upon others any priest or prophet has to have at least few children and rise them. Arban is no exception with his two wives and already eight children.
Spheres: Vitality, Predators. Beast-master prefers persons full of lifeforce and ambitions, and he tooks a great interests in displays of it such as hunting, duels or wars. Act of hunting is specially favored by him as it does eliminate animals which are weak and prone to diseases. He's often cruel in his ways and requires sacrifice from blood or animals but his blessings are truly helpful in those times. Also predators are affected by his will, and he may stop them from killing one he favors but more often he guides them against weak tribes.

While Makkur might seem powerful at the moment, his power will greatly fall with raise of civilization and he might be forgotten except by outlaws and wild tribes, even if they will retain old faith.
