Lords Of Creation 14 (OCC)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ummm, no it doesn't matter, because Khadai, Jissei, and Jassi are only supposed to have two domains each. You need to remove Light and Darkness from Jassi and Jissei respectively and two domains from Khadai. You're not getting those domains for free, because everyone else spent motes to gain their extra domains. And I know for sure that no god below the rank of Overdeity gained more domains while we were RPing under the previous rules.

[Philote]

If we are doing a Beta run, then I'm going to use the Independent Spirit I was planning to bring in.

Midas
Over Spirit
Domains: Wealth, Contracts
Power: 1
Precision: 5
Perception: 3
Presence: 1
Master Merchant (3) – Midas has the authority to buy and sell anything.
Binding Contract (3) – Any Contract made in his authority is completely binding, even to Spirits.
Tool of Office: Signature - Midas' signature carries his authority. Agreements entered into and bound in his signature are completely binding.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Um...they're repetitions of the same concept, not distinct domains. I list three for my own personal quirks' sake. They only have two domains. I list three because I want to list three. Don't tell me what to do. Especially when the reason is unwarranted, and has already been accounted for.

[Philote]

No reason to be hostile Wulf, she has a valid point. The way you had them listed, it appeared as if you had extra domains. You could have sub-domains, just make sure that you list it so that is clearly what you're doing. Like Gilgamesh had the domain of power, but he also had the sub-domains of the void of power and artifact power.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

My reasons are not unwarranted. You're listing three/four things when you should only have two listed. It's an automatic impulse to see it as more when the items all have different names. As well, when you list them the way you did (as 'Light' and 'Darkness') it looks like you're trying to claim Mina's domains as Jassi's and Jissei's when they aren't. If you were to list them as soomething else (say 'Good' or 'Evil') it wouldn't look so similar. As well, if they're repitions of the same domain, then just list it as one. You don't need to list them as so many different things and if someone were to come and look at all the profiles without looking at this conversation they'd think the same way I did or that I took Jissei and Jassi's domains for Mina. As it is, it would be more appropriate for the rules if you were to remove the 'Light' and 'Darkness' domains from Jissei and Jassi and reduce the domains of Khadai to two, because anytime anyone looks at those three it looks like they have extra domains no matter what you may say.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Both of you need to chill the hell out. Let's say neither of you is right and leave it at that.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

No, Dryad has a valid point.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

No, actually, she doesn't. Last I checked, I never even used literal darkness or light ONCE with my pantheon. Never once has Jassi used a light-based attack, or Jissei used a shadow-based attack. Furthermore, if you recall, aside from desolation and healing, my pantheon is based entirely on abstract concepts. Elements of nature wouldn't even fit.

Now, like I said, back the freak off. Drop it. I'm not in the mood to deal with anal-retentive, hair-splitting word-play right now. Really. I mean it. Don't provoke me, or I may say something I'll regret later. Like I said, I'm not taking over anybody else's domain, nor have I tried to before, nor will I try to in the future. When I say something, I mean it. I don't have to lie to do something underhanded, like stealing your domain or whatever. Leave me alone, and let me have my little quirks; far more persuasive than you have tried to sway me, and failed. You are not going to change my mind, because despite what you may want to think, I have not overstepped my bounds.

I'm pondering if your Wall could be a modified Incarnate.

So then by this you mean  Mina's Law that keeps out others' Divine powers and creations, right? So, then an example of what its profile could look like is:

Antilaw, That Which Protects Môsôoriku
Modified Incarnate
Skill: Divinity Denied (Passive) (10/12): Antilaw prevents any Divine Artifact, Artifact, Lesser God, Demi-God, Mythos, or Servitor from entering Môsôoriku without Mina's permission, those created as part of Mina's pantheon can enter and leave Môsôoriku freely.
Also, Divine power cannot be used in or to affect Môsôoriku or those within without permission from Mina or her pantheon.
Note: As Antilaw is supported by 5 Divine Artifacts, Mina has no need to pay motes for when Antilaw acts. In addition, Antilaw covers the entirety of Môsôoriku and is for the most part immobile.

If I recall correctly, I used 5 or 6 Miracles to make it and it's also supported by 5 Divine Artifacts. So is this right?

Also, I would like a GM clarification on whether or not Wulf needs to remove the extra domains from Khadai, Jissei, and Jassi.

[Zaleramancer]

Eh, works for me I guess.

Hmm.

On one hand, I see why. On the other, I did add three domains to each of the seasonal gods.

I'd have no great issue with gods grabbing a domain over the time skip, so long as they were sensible.

Well, expect maybe Mina because she has a shit ton as it is.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ok, thank you.

Now for heroes, would a profile look like this:

Kagehana, the Twilight Flower
Hero
Skill: Twilight's End (Active) (1): Kagehana is able to manipulate both light and shadows as well as combine them both for even stronger techniques.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh, no, actually, that is fine, Zaleramancer. I'll get rid of my extra listings. If that's what Dryad wants, that's what she'll get.

Khadai will be goddess of Corruption and Sin.

Jassi will be goddess of Purity and Healing.

Jissei will be god of Wickedness and Desolation.

And if Mina or any of her little critters so much as step foot into Uburra-Namall's land from now on, I will make sure that the pantheon lives up to their divine domains to the fullest. Believe it.

[Zaleramancer]

Ok...

I sense a Cold War coming on.

[Zaleramancer]

That seems good.

You might want to include further information, now that I think about it.

We've all gotten so used to everyone knowing things we've forgotten to include basic info in profiles.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh, no, really. I have no reason to attack Mina or her pantheon with desolation or sin or corruption.

Then again, I have no reason to bestow healing or love or creativity or inspiration on them either.

They can have all the sin and moral corruption and sickness and aging they like. I just hope she doesn't expect any blessings.

Ok, I'll have to remember to do that.

MODIFIED
Kagehana, the Twilight's Flower
Shadow-Scarred Hero
Skill: Twilight's End (Active) (1): Kagehana is able to manipulate both light and shadows and can combine them for more powerful techniques.
Bio:
Kagehana is an experienced hero having killed a dragon and participated in the first major battle between the gods. She also participated in the tournament hosted by Gilgamesh and while she did not lose any of her fights, she did not win the overall tournament as it was cut short by the Nightmare Invasion. During the Nightmare Invasion, Kagehana defended many mortals in the Temple District of Spectropolis and destroyed nightmare versions of Gilgamesh and Mina. In the 400 years after the Nightmare Invasion, Kagehana established a school of martial arts called the Twin Flowers, its style is based on using two weapons to fight against 1 to 5 opponents simultaneously and it accepts only those who can pass its initial entrance exam. Around 100 years after the Nightmare Invasion, Kagehana chose to go into a deep hibernation through way of the Twin Goddesses' Prism skill. To this day, she sleeps awaiting the time iin which she is needed once more... All salute the greatest of Mina's heroes!





@Wulf: That's fine with me.
@Zale: The description under the profile is what I imagine historians living in Môsôoriku would write her biography as, though none would know where Kagehana sleeps, except Mina's pantheon.

[Zaleramancer]

The Summer Child

Lesser God of Summer, Relics and Heat

Power: 1
Precision: 1
Perception: 4
Presence: 1

Foresight (Active) (4): The Summer Child can avoid a single attack from any entity with less Perception than his own. He may not use an artifact or miracle on the same turn as Foresight.

Tool of Office

The Sun Mirror is a two foot round mirror of goldish metal. It can absorb and hold a single attack or ability usage per turn, up to a total number stored equal to the Summer Child's Perception. The Summer Child may release the attack or ability usage, directing it against whatever target he wishes, once per turn.

[Philote]

 Wulf, why are you reacting with such hostility?

You're not guilty of trying to steal any domains, you've given good reason for why you're not using the same sense of Light and Darkness and you do not seem to be the type to try to steal them in the first place. Dryad has a valid point, from your original post it is hard to determine that you're using the domains as you've recently said. She simply asked for you to list them in a way that would make more sense when compared with the other profiles. You can still use them the same way as you had imagined in character. You could even list them as Purity (Light), for example.

It would be as if I put the domains for Gilgamesh as: Conflict and War, Body and Life, Power and Energy, Heroism and Courage for example. In the story the domains could probably work along those lines, but within the RP rules if I list them like that it is similar to giving me extra domains.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I consider innocence the same as purity. In such case, you're interrupting Jassi's domain.

[Zaleramancer]

The Merry Lady

Lesser Goddess of Winter, Merriment and Fighting.

Power: 2
Precision: 4
Perception: 0
Presence: 1

Blizzard Lock (Active) (4): The Merry Lady may cause any entity with a lower Precision than her own to be unable to escape from her. Regardless of how fast or how far they run, they will always find themselves running back towards her. A god that enters a plane temporarily escapes this effect, but it will resume upon reentering the material plane. They may nullify the effect by use of a Miracle.

Tool of Office

The Wyrm-Blade is a snow-white Zweihänder that holds many years of combat experience within it. Whenever the Merry Lady enters combat, the sword bestows upon her a single temporary skill rank in Fighting/Combat. For every turn in which she fights the same entity or group, she receives another rank. These ranks vanish upon exiting combat.
