Lords Of Creation 13 (OCC)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Alright, apology accepted, though I do kind of plan to go slightly more in depth with my characters. The first example of that is Crescent in NB; I hope I'm doing well on that count....

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

True, but consider what happens if huge numbers of people attempt to flock to 'paradise' (consider problems with immigration)... Nothing is ever truly a paradise.

[Zaleramancer]

I considered having mortal problems, but I hypothesized you'd simply crush the problem with overwhelming force, within seconds of me posting it.

Your characters are always in just the right place/

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Well, it all depends on what problem you burden Mina's pantheon and people with. If it's a problem with immigration or something as equally peaceful, I can't really use force on them, can I? With Môsôoriku, you'll probably need to be very creative with your plots.

[Zaleramancer]

Does it matter?

Your Gods appear and Crush.

If they've ever done anything else when in conflict, I've yet to see or recall it. :/

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I'll admit, I've had them use violence on their problems, but as I do recall, there was one point where Mina sent Kagehana to establish racial relationships and ended having to slay a dragon as part of a quest for one of Phi's gods. There's probably other examples as well.

[Zaleramancer]

I'll try to cook something political up, but that requires your society to have depth.

I know little about them.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ok, yeah, I'll need to define that.

First, for the most part, Môsôoriku is a religious society, so the gods are the absolute law, with heroes coming next, then the religious leaders, then everybody else is sorted by how powerful they are.

Is this a good start?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 She sounds like she's still trying to win...

[Zaleramancer]

Yes.

How do the common people feel about this arrangement?

What is the general culture of people like? How do they dress, what traditions do the practice, what types of art do they like, how is architecture like?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I'd say that many of the weaker ones feel it's slightly unfair and that the only way that they could rise in society is to become religious leaders and as there are restrictions on that, many don't care for it, but those who would disrupt society have as of yet moved away or been exiled (sometimes for the better, e.g. Byrnhildr).

I'd say that the general culture is probably closer to that of feudal Japan than anything else, except replace the daimyo, emperor and shogun with the religious leaders and heroes.

General dress would be pretty much almost anything that an individual desires to wear, so long as it at least covers the minimum of their genitals, beyond that, anything goes.

Traditions they have include tea ceremonies, mock magical combat matches and tournaments, and worshipping the gods.

Art is mostly pictures, statuettes, etc in worship of Mina's pantheon, nothing else really. Architecture is more of a flowing nature, representative of how time is like a river. Buildings like schools and temples often have saying written on the arches that serve as entrances to their interiors.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

So, heads up, everything I'm planning to do.

Before Timeskip:

-I'm gonna need to raise a few gods before we skip forward.

-Everyone gets a cellphone. Not literally, but in spirit I give everyone a cell phone.

-Mik, that bracelet you made out of sword bits? I'm gonna need that.

-Dryad, seeing as your gods are the only other beings who saw Gils wave of conflict and are in a position to know what it did, The Watchman needs to talk with Mina in private. Preferably before we meet up.

-Phi, The Watchman is going to manipulate Gilgameshs legacy to his own ends like Mik plans to do with his corpse. Thought it would be polite to tell you.

-Gotta wrap things up for Pessimal.

After Timeskip:

-Salt Mines, Silk weaving, farming, brewing, yeehaw! Trade, trade, trade.

-Tunnels. Tunnels Everywhere!

-The Tomes line is still going. The Pigeons are even more badass.

-Holiday! The Babysitters revenge on the Monster King.

-The consequences of the notable Vandals (Sisters Arms, Horizon, Two Gods Sitting, and Shoving Another Down) are reveled.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, for me, I'd like to add a few new gods, a few new mythical species (a couple winged...just guess), literally ONE or TWO more objects and three new philosophical factions.

But, those all I want to do near the start of the new arc. The main part I want to focus on is my pantheon and society's interaction with itself, other pantheons and societies, and the world.

I want to focus now on more myth-worthy things. Not that we haven't done myth-worthy things already, but I want more mythology, rather than so much gameplay and general narration.

Like, I wanna have a reason the Moon helps keep the sea in check (I mentioned that to Zale), why there are eclipses (also discussed with Zale), and a whole host of other myths to make this game interesting, and worth maybe citing in other RPs.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Speaking of which, what about the survivors of the cave? There's going to be at least a good percentage. Like, 20-40% Boquabian survival rate in there. At least.

[Mik_Hael]

...2nd gen man.

[Mik_Hael]

No.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

It's not my demand, but it is a demand that will be made.

Think about it from The Reasonable perspective: that bracelet is him.

[Mik_Hael]

I released his soul along with the others when I reforged the thing. I released his soul along with the others when I reforged it. Anything of him that was left in the bracelet is long gone.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Ah, you never specified.

Wait, if you released all the souls then how did it have any power in the Monster King fight?

[Mik_Hael]

It run's directly off the soul of whoever is using it now.
