Alright, so we start with our first picks, divide into two groups, and swap Spirits when you tell us to?

You pick a god, I randomly assign a god to everyone, then you split into two groups.

I'll start a new thread just for this purpose.

Now we just need to rope GV in for advice...

[Philote]

Go ahead and pre-assign us to teams while you're at it.

[Zaleramancer]

I can't identify the tone of that statement, as it can be read in many ways.

But if you wish it, so shall it be.

[Philote]

 Oops, well that was a serious statement, I actually wanted you to do that

[Philote]

Do we start with full motes?

[Zaleramancer]

Hmmm.

Now that I read back in the thread, I kind of like Wulf's suggestion.

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, 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?

Only, those demi-gods?

Us.

The island?

Owned by a powerful and established lesser god.

This would give us a chance to adapt to the more basic rules of the game.

It could also work it's way into the story itself by having our gods run across this island later on.

However, if people don't like this idea, that's fine too.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I would say, probably we do. Also, please don't start without me. I'm about to start eating dinner.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

So then that means we'll all have to make more profiles. *Groan*

[Zaleramancer]

Which is the main issue of that.

Would anyone object to me just meshing out a selection for people to choose from?

(I can do this rather quickly)

[Philote]

Well, if we are using Spirits from the main story and even swamping them around, then it can not really be cannon because we can not properly control other people's characters. Midas would not even be present on the world till later in the Second Age.

[Zaleramancer]

No, look at it this way.

You are all demi-gods far off in the new territory the Omni made.

There's this Lesser god controlling an island that you all want.

You decide to band together and overthrow him.

This could be cannon with a fair degree of ease.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

That would be fine, I have no objections to that.

[Philote]

If you can throw together a batch of minor Spirits for us to all use then it could work. They are going to have mood swings though when we change players.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Mood swings, yes, but also domain changes if I don't like the domain I get. Mine will most likely wash up onto Uburra-Namall's island after this beta, and undergo a change to avoid being exterminated.

[Philote]

I don't think that is how it works

Zale is making the character sheets with the domains already picked. We will be randomly swapping people while we are playing in the beta adventure on the island. After the beta we go back to our main Spirits, so Uburra-Namall is not going to be present for this I don't think.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I thought the story could be canon if it worked out well...

Zale implied that with his latest post.

[Philote]

Yeah, but I think these Spirits are going to be their own faction once we are done with them, not ones divided to us.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

If they get split up somehow, by a way outside of their control. Perhaps they fail at taking the island, get blasted apart. Or they get into an argument and split up. Or something else.

Then they could meet up to be taken in by our respective spirits. Or otherwise dealt with by their player, as we see fit.

[Philote]

So, you want to take whichever Spirit you end up with control of last and add them to your group? You can already add an Independent Spirit for you to control if you want. How would you explain them changing domains? Wouldn't they still have whatever domains they started with?

[Zaleramancer]

With which domains?

I'm picking little, minor domains to avoid clashing with anyone.

Rip-Tides, Oak Trees, Fireflies, Acrobatic Dancing, Khopeshes, Caves.
