guess I'm staying out of this one.

Which one: the Beta or Second Age? Also, you need to edit your gods' profiles based on the new rules.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Also, here's Mik Hael's last profile edit:

Mik Hael, God of Dreams, Chaos, Souls, and Monsters

Pantheon Leader

Power: 3

Precision: 3

Perception: 1

Presence: 2

Anywhere, Anytime (6): The ability of a god of chaos renders them not entirely attached to any plane of existence that they are currently occupying and because of this, they can often traverse into any location in the third (sometimes fourth) dimension at will, including separate planes of existence.

                If a place is protected by a barrier, depending on the power, they will either be unaffected or project into the affected space as an apparition.

Strawberry Field (2): A skill which greatly increases Mik Hael’s Presence in a set area for a short amount of time, resulting in an unbinding of the laws of physics in said area, allowing for easier manipulation of space-time.

                Effects include: temporal shifts, light and matter bending for generation of solid illusions, and matter generation. The effect lasts for a period determined by skill level, after skill time limit is up, effects remain.

Anti-presence (6): A chaos-related skill similar to Anywhere, Anytime in which Mik Hael slips out of phase with the rest of existence rendering himself intangible and unnoticeable while in effect. During this state, Mik Hael is free to observe phenomena, but attempts to interact with the world in any way, cancel out the use of this skill.

                During the use of this skill, the effect of area effects and laws seem to be diminished greatly and for a time shortly after this skill is no longer in use. The ability to phase back into existence in order to convey vocal messages or physical objects while remaining in Anti-presence mode is possible but extremely tiresome.

Speedster (4): Chaos-related skill affecting the fourth dimension in conjunction with an effect on memory and thought processing. It allows Mik Hael to move and think at a speed much faster than should be possible in the physical plane of existence.

===Tool of Office===

Wanderer’s Staff

A simple staff in the shape of a shepherd’s crook, roughly seven feet in length and two and a half inches in diameter at its thickest point.

-The Wanderer’s Staff allows Mik Hael to pass through the various planes of existence ignoring the laws of reality of whatever area they pass through, but this effect lasts only as long as the user does not interact with their environment in any way other than travelling through, observing, or speaking with its inhabitants. When used in conjunction with Anti-presence, the abilities augment each other several-fold.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Also, here are the latest rules.

[Philote]

I think we need to add a way to reintroduce domains into the world that have been lost by the death of Spirits. In a way that won't interfere with the current rules and that won't give somebody an extra advantage.

I was thinking of a totem or shrine system where somebody can spend motes to build the shrine, thus tying the domain back into the world, but not receive any control of the domain from the totem/shrine. This would also make it possible for the domain to be lost again by the shrine/totem being broken.

They should probably be relatively expensive and fragile so that the death of a Spirit is still an important thing to avoid.

As for the Beta, how can we start moving forward more easily? I'm having Po search out the next town.

@Vault: How should we go about you taking over the enemy's race? We need something that is relatively quick to execute.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Perhaps the shrine or totem can be expensive, because it gets an NPC deity to go along with it? Nothing fancy, really, and having aside from their domain only the purpose of guarding the temple, shrine or totem. They don't even really interact with the other deities, or the fallen deity's subjects.

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, for the Beta, my Veelas are wherever Mar is. And wherever the Veelas are, Dash is also.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I too am itching to plot....

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Indeed. I hopefully have some pretty cool and interesting things to come.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

That is a really good idea.

Also, just a question, but will there be opportunities for our gods' stats to increase? E.G. They do something highly momentous in the world and because of that become more powerful, precise, perceptive, or sensable (? I don't know how to change presence into an adjective). Just wondering.

The word you're looking for is 'perceptible'. Capable of being perceived.

And yeah, Zale, that is a good question. I'd like to know as well.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Thanks, can't believe I couldn't think of  'perceptible'.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 No problem.

So, how goes the First Age summary?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Going well, I just couldn't do much this weekend, because I had the largest fundraiser of the year to help out at at the local Buddhist Temple. We cooked and served over 700 meals for people. And even then, over a hundred didn't come or forgot. This was a prepaid event by the way.

Also, could someone contact Jester if he hasn't been already or he hasn't noticed my post at the top of this page? I know he has other things to do like me, but it would be nice if we could get things defined even a little bit before the Second Age starts up.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Same here, Gatecrash for M:TG just came out and I've been getting ideas for things from that.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I've come up with a few ways, but none of them are really viable anymore. People aren't going to use a wood that seemed to spring up where a bunch of people disappeared. Besides, none of my plans were what you call quick. Even the first one would take months or years to bear fruit.

I can't just pop up, weave a few miracles and expect them to start believing in me. Even if they were dumb enough for that, it would bring the hammer down. And I also can't force them into it or mind control anyone; that would be fear, or take away free will. A religion takes faith, and unless they have a choice it's not really faith.

Also, I'm going to be posting pretty sporadically for at least the rest of the week. My internet is touch and go.

[Philote]

I feel like I'm ruining your plans for dominating them, but I want to make sure the pace keeps going at the same time.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 *Jimmy Neutron voice* Brain Blast!

What if I...entranced them into worshiping? Like, literally, just popped up out of nowhere, and start singing and dancing to entertain them. With my divine powers, they wouldn't be able to resist the urge to join me in my dance, and so as they join in, I subtly change the words of my song into those glorifying us, rather than Cothal. His power diminishes, ours increases. Not to mention, after the dance, they feel so intoxicated with feel-good vibes, that they ask my name, and I introduce us. Risky, I think, but maybe worth it?

 What do you think?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I'll adapt.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Anything from MTG sounds good.

[Philote]

I actually plan on mind controlling at least a few of them to add to my spy count with the Neurax Firefly I plan to create. I won't be dominating the whole race but I'll have a few under my control.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 It wouldn't have to be the entire race. I could just entrance a crowd, and give off the illusion of divine inspiration, so they begin to veer in our direction, religiously.
