Lords Of Creation 14 (OCC)

[Zaleramancer]

I forget not everyone has my freakish level of reading comprehension.

I do understand how things could be confused.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

You do a lot of reading. I do a lot of writing. You explore new worlds. I make them. As long as that distinction is always drawn, and the fact is always clear that not everybody here thinks the same, I think a lot of confusion can be avoided.

As much as I'd love to understand everything that's understood by everybody here, that simply isn't the case. Likewise, not everybody here understands what I understand. The key is compromise, patience and empathy.

[Zaleramancer]

Purple Prose, my friend, obscures the meaning of your skills. :P

[Celadon's Penultimate]

And yet people here tend toward two extremes in addressing such. Either they're completely silent, for fear of hurting my feelings or seeming out of place (ie ESRP, when nobody thought to suggest a reboot), or they have utterly no problem at all voicing opinions, even to the point of unnecessary harshness.

(Oh, and just for the record, care to give me an example of when my prose has been purple?)

[Zaleramancer]

As goddess of love and beauty, a vision of loveliness cannot be imagined by mortal minds that surpasses Uburra-Namall in physical beauty, social charm and divine finesse. In fact, her presence makes sure of it. Even if people were able to look into the very creative heart of the universe, they would forget it all in an instant, upon gazing at Uburra-Namall's radiance, or hearing her voice. Though she can shapeshift to any standard of beauty she desires, she always stands out in the crowd (especially since she is invulnerable to any injury that might damage her external appearance).

I meant these skills.

I can't tell what either of them are really meant to do.

Compare with GV, Me and Marv.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I can fix that.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Suna, Goddess of Sand and Glass
Lesser God
Power: 1
Precision: 3
Perception: 2
Presence: 1
Glass Veil (4): Like glass when viewed the right way, Suna can make her presence seem to disappear completely. Gods and goddesses who have higher levels of perception may be able to feel her if they are trying, but mortals will feel like they are seeing something that is not there and yet visible to them.
As well, while using Glass Veil, Suna is immune to the effects of any skill or power based on having a higher or lower Presence than Suna's.
===Tool of Office===
The Glass Sword, Nighthawk
-A sword made of pure glass, Nighthawk can create physical copies of itself and fire them at any target that Suna desires. If they miss, the blades will shatter and attempt to lodge themselves in an enemy's body slowly killing them by turning them into sand.



This is good, right Zale?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Almost done with the edit of Uburra-Namall's profile. Still have one issue, though.

For skills, you said this.

Six, Four, Two.

Rank is a rank.

What the heck does that mean?

[Zaleramancer]

Pantheon Leaders have six points to split between whatever skills they get, each successive lower level gets less.

The more points in a skill, the more power it's effect is allowed to be.

[Zaleramancer]

Seems good.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I see.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Illusia, Goddess of Illusions and Temples
Lesser God
Power: 1
Precision: 3
Perception: 3
Presence: 0
Illusory Presence (2): Illusia can make several illusions of herself in order to confuse those who would attack her. These illusions created by this skill are capable of taking and delivering hits as if they were actual beings.
Prayers Heard (2): Illusia can hear the prayers made by anyone at any temple and send them on to other gods if she believes that they warrant extra attention from the god being prayed to
===Tool of Office===
Core Temple
-Illusia's Tool ofOffice is most likely the least mobile of any Tool of Ofice, seeing as it is stuck in the center of Môsôoriku.
-The Core Temple's most useful feature to Illusia though, is not that it serves as a focal point for many religious beings to come to (though that is still VERY useful), but its power to prevent itself and anyone that Illusia chooses from being harmed while inside the Temple so long as the aggressor does not have a higher Power than Illusia's Perception
-The Core Temple also prevents the theft of any item left there as an offering to the gods until such a time as the god either comes to retrieve it or Illusia comes herself to pick up the offerings for the gods.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I still propose that we test these rules first, work out any problems in Beta.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Agreed...we can change them later to suit our needs or lack thereof.

Sonia
Lesser God

Power – 1
Precision - 2
Perception - 3
Presence – 1

Architectural Blend (4):  Sonia’s attunement to architecture allows her to blend with it easily and to hide among the pillars, walls and vaulted ceilings of buildings. She merges with the building’s form and can effectively hide it by becoming one with it.

=Tool of Office=
Sonia’s tool of office is a beaded necklace of iridescent pearls. It allows here to see the insides of buildings from afar. However the only buildings she may see into are the temples of Crav, Von Trapt and her own (possibly others but I did not want to overstep my bounds with assumptions).

Von Trapt
Lesser God

Power – 2
Precision - 2
Perception -2
Presence – 1

Grand Castle Build (1):  Von Trapt may revert to his original form of a massive, mobile Castle at any time.

Automation (3): Von Trapt can infuse his domain into a nearby object to animate it and allow it to perform its intended job or use without the aid of another being. This includes making brooms sweep floors, pitchers pour themselves, spades dig on their own or swords fight by themselves.  Von Trapt must remain in the presence of the automated object for it to remain functional.

=Tool of Office=
Von Trapt’s tool of office is a metal gauntlet fashioned after the first thing he ever built, Aox’s Hand. It allows him to fix any dysfunctional or broken appliance, tool or machine with ease. It cannot repair artifacts or higher powered items.

[Zaleramancer]

Sounds good.

That does remind me, however, that I need to alter a few things still..

Ideas for beta?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Kyuuketsu, Goddess of Blood and Wood
Lesser God
Power: 3
Precision: 3
Perception: 0
Presence: 1
Judgement Cross (2): Kyuuketsu can make a cross appear behind a target and latch onto them before ripping them apart if they threaten the safety of Môsôoriku or any of its inhabitants. After ripping apart its target, the cross explodes to harm the targets's allies.
Skin of Wood (2): Kyuuketsu's skin is extremely tough and it is hard to hurt her with any kind of cutting or piercing weapon or technique.
===Tool of Office===
Akatonbo
-Akatonbo is a long spear that appears to constantly have blood dripping from it
-Akatonbo causes great pain in those it cuts
-Akatonbo can be thrust forward to fire a ray that makes a target's blood boil if it hits (500°C)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Test thread, everyone swaps gods and tries as hard as possible to break the game.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

And just like that I don't want to try the beta anymore....breaking games hurts my brains. Even when I'm not the one doing it.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

An aspiring, but obviously-evil pantheon of weak rogue demi-gods attempting to wrest control on one of the uninhabited islands that will be raised up by the Omni in the Second Age. Little no-names, with flashy powers, but no substance (not even any established divine domains), and no principles. Naturally, the gods will deal with them like the scoundrels they are.

Technically, it can stay or go. If it's good enough, it can be included into the actual story line, but if it's no good, and doesn't play out well, we can chalk it up to a bad rough draft.

Whaddya think?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

What do you mean by 'swap gods'?
