Question: can gods reproduce or at the very least produce weaker offspring?

C'mere I need to test something...

[Lord_lemonpie]

ooh, another YG! Count me in!

Spoiler: Alicia (click to show/hide)

Name: Alicia, Mother of the Muses
Sphere: Primary: Music  Secondary:Emotions
Primary form: A woman with hair as black as the night and a skin as white as snow. The long robes she's always wearing change color depending on her mood. She always has seven orbs of light floating around her, each one of the seven colors of the rainbow. She usually carries her Psaltery with her, which has 7 snares, each again one of the colors of the rainbow.
Associated symbol: A 7-snared Psaltery, with snares in the seven colors of the rainbow.
Description/Background: Alicia is a loving goddess, dedicated to making everyone happy. She loves every single follower dearly and easily forgives people their mistakes. She loves to disguise herself as a normal sentient being to play music somewhere, so she can brighten up the days of many people.

So, anyone wanna help me bore a hole in the fabric of reality so that we can release magic we know nothing about upon the universe?

[FallacyofUrist]

Seeing as Kalpa's ground itself to a halt...

Name: Gai-gen
Spheres: Primary(engineering), Secondary(architecture).
Primary Form/Associated Symbol: A bunch of floating, whirling, gears. In perpetual motion.
Description/Background: Gai-gen is the embodiment of mechanical technology, and as such he is nearly void of emotion... mostly. Also loves to build structures. Has a fondness for golems.

Seeing as Kalpa's ground itself to a halt...

All my reports will be done by next week so there should be an update coming up soonish.

[Demonic Spoon]

So... uh

$$$

How much power/essence would it take to bore a hole through that foggy bulletproof glass so I can get my hands on the sweet sweet mysterious ambient energy magics? I'm assuming power would be valid in the use of creating a permanent hole through the focused application of force?

How much essence to create a conventional sun?

[Dutrius]

Damn, magic and engineering have both been taken. Again.

Let's try something different...

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Moi'aaty.
Sphere: Life and Death.
Symbol: A skull surrounded by vines. (any skull or skull analogue is acceptable, so as not to discriminate against future races with different skull shapes)
Primary form: A white (or black) robe, seemingly empty, carrying a scythe with a black (or white) blade.
Description: As the God of Life and Death, Moi'aaty mostly seeks to maintain some sort of balance between life and death. Or so he appears. He appears to be apathetic towards the mortals themselves, but may become manipulative to further his own ends, whatever they are.

I'll come up with a personality later.

So, anyone wanna help me bore a hole in the fabric of reality so that we can release magic we know nothing about upon the universe?

Without clicking the link, I'm suddenly very paranoid about releasing magic. Maybe it's because I've read the Wheel of Time series.

Spoiler: Minor spoiler (click to show/hide)

Three thousand years ago, the Aes Sedai, the magic users in the Wheel of Time series, bored a hole in the fabric of the pattern in the attempt to unify the two halves of the Power. They released the Dark One instead. Oops.

My "the ways this could go horribly wrong" thoughts actually drifted more in the direction of D&D elves who built a gate linking to the Far Realm from which eldritch horrors poured forth.

Also, the whole council thing of Ye Gods is pretty unappealing to me. We don't have anything like that in Litany right?

[FArgHalfnr]

A new ye gods :O!!
I'm definitively in. Hopefully this one will last longer.

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Lithus/Luthus
Spheres: Progress and Revolution. (Might be a bit too similar to rolepgeek's character. Let's see how it goes.)
Primary form: A jet-black being with two eyes that shift between purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, an uncertain smile, and a scientist lab coat/a full set of dark, almost black red armor with a menacing visor and two large horns.
Associated symbol: A white or red spiral, depending of the sphere invoked.
Description/Background: A being with a dual personality. Lithus is the god of progress: for him, nothing should stop the advancement of science, arts, magic, or anything else that can be advanced. Progress is both a mean and an end for him. Luthus is a much more aggressive
god: whenever something attempt to halt progress, willingly or not, he will put an end to it. He will mostly manifest himself to overthrow stagnant regime, oppressive dogmas and anything else that might stall progress, usually with the help of the local population.

Edit: And I'll definitively help drilling that wall thing! But I think we should wait until we're ready do defend ourselves before just in case that it brings a sea of abominations.

[Stirk]

I am going to have to leave some time in the next hour, no clue when. So I *might* not be able to get to everything until I get home from work. Ill see what I can do now, and if I have to leave before I am done, Ill finish later. I'm probably half asleep now anyway  .

Character's done, on a spur-of-the-moment idea.

....So...where is it?

Is looking at people's souls a free action? What about for a god of Souls?

*Shrugs Harder*

I would've thought they'd just disappear from existence. My OOC desire to do !!SCIENCE!! is conflicting with my IC desire to not be a dick! Aaaargh!!!

You may have assumed that  . Power can do "almost" everything Essence can. There are a few things it has trouble with, which will be more fun to find out IC.

It's kinda defined as "energy of destruction" so it's more than a bit misleading. Separating Essence from HP was a very wise choice. Conflict was indeed one of the most fun parts of Ye Gods but too much of a good thing can be bad.

The energy is of destruction, but it doesn't have to be used that way. That is supposed to be confusing. If there is too much conflict, I can make a rule change. This was generally meant to let people create without taking away from their abilities to do other things, so they wouldn't be so paranoid and would generally create more.

Name: Izgamlo
Sphere: Primary: Magic Secondary: Portals & Thresholds
Primary form: A massive, living portal, forming a silhouette of whatever physical thing the viewer fears the most. Where the portal leads to, and thus displays in the silhouette varies widely, from a innocuous field of flowers to the blinding light of the sun.
Associated symbol: A small black Anti-Sun symbol, that sucks in ambient light
Description/Background: Izgamlo wishes to access the mysterious existing magic via means of a great Portal, and learn how it works, and how she can use it. In addition, Izgamlo wishes to bend and warp space like one would mould clay into a work of art, riddling it with portals, making movement unpredictable. To achieve these goals, it is willing to work with other gods, as well following the adage of "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours".

Accepted, but I am counting "Portals" as your secondary sphere. You only get one secondary, most thresholds will be counted under it anyway  . Sorry about that.

Name:
Sphere: Kinship, Blood
Primary form/associated symbol:
Description/Background: The greatest bonds are borne of blood. Blood spilt, blood sacrificed.


I'll call it a preliminary character. I'm not stepping on any toes am I Andres?

And I know I'm cheating with the primary sphere. I'll pick a suitably broad word later. Maybe just kinship?

I can only imagine what it once was  . As it is, it is accepted. Feel free to change it, before the game start would be best.

Sphere Broadness:

Generally, I try to do what KJP did. More broad spheres give you smaller bonuses to a lot of things, while really specific spheres give you larger bonus to only a few things. It also effects how high your "Influence" is. If you are the god of "EVERYTHING!", then things simply existing will give you practically no essence, while the god of "Fireflies" from your examples would receive a livable income from a modest amount of insects.

Andres played a god of Humans. Yaos didn't manage (or try?) to make them a master race, and instead got killed half a dozen times for unrelated reasons.

Yeah, that sounds more like him not playing smart than anything, though I have a Ye Gods tab open that I will examine eventually.

To be fair, if he tried making humans the master race, I would have killed him a dozen times for related reasons instead  .

You should've seen the massive army I had. Seriously, only Strike Team Fusil could've stopped it, which they proceeded to do by striking the heart of the army (me and my archangels).

Then Cim nuked everything anyway, and I could have at any point  .

63 Ticks.

I think I will be driven insane before he is at that rate...

Question: can gods reproduce or at the very least produce weaker offspring?

Not with other Gods. Demigods can be made in several ways (requiring Essence to actually show powers), but not physical touching. Gods generally just magically appear out of nowhere for mysterious and unimportant reasons, and can not be simply made.

ooh, another YG! Count me in!

Spoiler: Alicia (click to show/hide)

Name: Alicia, Mother of the Muses
Sphere: Primary: Music  Secondary:Emotions

Accepted. Welcome back. I am just tired enough to read the name as "Mother of Mucus".

So, anyone wanna help me bore a hole in the fabric of reality so that we can release magic we know nothing about upon the universe?

It probably won't be too destructive, to start out at least  . Generally this was added so that you could all have the more "mysterious" type of magic the original Ye Gods had, a lot of that game was finding out about the universe. After all, if you create it yourselves you would know everything about it  .

And... bye! Work time!

There aren't any rules to different gods having the same sphere to the best of my knowledge if you really have your heart set on either magic or engineering.

Hey, you heard Stirk, the mystery magic will be perfectly safe! We can bore it up immediately and become filthy rich magic-oil barons!

He edited it into his original post. Here's a link.

Spoiler: And a quote (click to show/hide)

I'm assuming being nemeses with another god is allowed? That is, to deliberately choose spheres that directly oppose those of other gods?

Name: Aurosseu, the Keeper of Dreams, the Absolver, Giver of the New Dawn
Spheres: Dreams. Patron of Healing, Peace, Forgiveness, Rest, the Night, Sunrise.
Primary form/associated symbol: To other gods and similar beings, Aurosseu appears as a humanoid figure in a simple all-concealing hooded white robe. Inside the hood, only a dark, starry sky can be seen. To mortals, Aurosseu appears as their sweetest dream; if there are multiple observers, he takes on aspects from the dreams of all of them. His symbol is a rising golden sun behind a silver horizon.
Description/Background: Every morning, in an ideal world, a being wakes up invigorated, with only the joys and successes and none of the sorrows or fears of yesterday. Both old and new challenges await, but with new strength, the being faces them. That is, in an ideal world. In reality, someone has to bring that rest, that vigor, that blank slate. Aurosseu is that someone.

Sphere: Primary: Magic Secondary: Portals & Thresholds
Primary form: A massive, living portal, forming a silhouette of whatever physical thing the viewer fears the most. Where the portal leads to, and thus displays in the silhouette varies widely, from a innocuous field of flowers to the blinding light of the sun.

Mmm? Oh that's fine, I just thought portals and thresholds might be similar enough that I might swing them being a single secondary sphere but just Portals is a-ok.

Fair enough, but could you perhaps give some sort of indication of what kind of personality or goals you gods have? Life and Death is kind of vague. All I'm getting from that is that your god might be a fan of "balance" in some sort of metaphysical sense. 

Helps me get IC when potentially interacting with your god in the future.

I haven't decided yet.

[IcyTea31]

Then Cim nuked everything anyway, and I could have at any point  .

As I've explained multiple times both IC and OOC, Cim didn't. I am being completely the-game's-already-over honest. I had extrapolated (I didn't even have any hard knowledge) that someone is going to use a WMD and kill everyone, so I sent my troops invisible and intangible to provide magical support against STF, using the later-standardized probability shenanigans (which were also why Cim was winning the snow fight until a certain someone made it a rock fight instead). Cim had nothing to do with the explosion, except noticing a few omens that is was to come.
