Lords of Creation (OCC) Part Four

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Heheheh, yup. New domains are nice. Mina has 5, Gilgamesh has 3 and everyone else has the default. Oh, and what do you think of these names: Twin Fangs of Fire and Ice, Twin Magatama of Magnetism and Gravity, KokoronoInazuma (Lightning of the Heart), and Kokoronokaze (Wind of the Heart).

[Philote]

I'm not sure if I want to take that many domains.

I have trouble comprehending/keeping track of all those non-english words

If you could make a reference sheet eventually with names / powers that would be helpful.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I'll put the refence sheet of my artifacts at the beginning of the next thread. That way it'll be easy to find and noone will have to flip through ～20 pages to find the one they need to find when fighting against or talking with Mina's pantheon.

[Philote]

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I just feel that it's nicer if everything is at the front and easy to find. By the way, you never did explain the golden dragon armor's power, so what dooes it do? And where's Mik Hael so that we can finish the scene?

[Philote]

Jester (Mik Hael's old name) might be on tomorrow, but sometimes he can be gone for quite a while. If he doesn't show up quickly enough, Zale would probably agree to just let you send him away with no trouble.

As for the Golden Dragon Scale Armor, I tried to explain it in the RP but I'll say again. Besides the defensive buff, it helps me contain/channel power at higher levels.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Jester= Mik Hael. I already knew that, but I felt like putting his second username. I hope he comes back on, I want to have Lily and Kyouko (2 Major Gods) beat up Mik Hael (High God). That would be far more amusing than him just leaving, plus then they get to use Mina's Divine Artifacts. Specifically, Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and Yasakani-no-Magatama. Murakumo can channel the powers of any and all youkai, while Yasakani can create barriers. And Murakumo can sacrifice a youkai to temporarily boost its power levels. So～o fun.

[Philote]

Jester has 10 points I think (+4 Over, +6 Major-Spirit/Divine Artifact fusion)

And your team would have 9 I think? ((+3 Major-spirit, +3 Divine Artifact) + 1/2(+3 major-spirit, +3 Divine Artifact))

[Philote]

With the random bonus they could still win.

What's in the sky? Are the stars? Other planets? Who invented the water cycle? Or the changing of the seasons? How much of this world came pre-made?

Hm...the star gods already exist. I made them as NPCs.

So do the Sun and the moon.

Solairon- god of the sun

Ellunaeda- goddess of the moon

Well, Solairon would be boisterous. A deity who loves to laugh and spread joy and laughter. Fond of flowers, and lover of fine and luxurious things. A bit of a hedonist, but overall, a loveable guy.

And Ellunaeda would be terribly shy. Smart, and illuminating with her intellect, but afraid to speak her mind except in the calmest and humblest of voices. A bit of a pushover, but sweet and caring.

Solairon would always be trying to catch Ellunaeda, thus causing the passage of the Sun and moon, and when he catches her to shower her in kisses, there's an eclipse, which lasts until she can get away from him again. The myth goes, should she ever be enamored with him and wed to him to lose her chastity, there would be permanent darkness on the face of the land.

Constellei- god of constellations, astronomy and astrology

As befitting an organizer of the Cosmos, Constellei is very meticulous and tidy; he loves organization, and as such, is very intelligent and eloquent; frivolous talk annoys him, and so his followers write their prayers and entreaties down, to be left at his temple, where his attendants organize them neatly in vast filing systems.

Stellastra- goddess of stellar beauty and starry nights

An elegant, almost aloof beauty, bejeweled in all the radiance of a star, Stellastra is the goddess who calls the stars to the night sky. As fits her mood, she decides how many stars will be visible in the night sky, and how twinkly each one will be; her favorite is the North Star, and starless nights portend for her a bad mood

Quaestar- god of shooting stars (or falling stars) and space debris

Loud, boisterous and a bit obnoxious, Quaestar loves looking at stars alongside his siblings; what he loves more, though, is making some fall from the sky to scare and amaze the mortals below; though his favor also exists; when space rocks hit the planet, he occasionally feels generous enough to send with it a gift (like power-bestowing radiation)

They simply have yet to be introduced into the story. Perhaps they can be introduced to provide or help with some other conflict?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Actually, it would be more like this:

Mik-Hael (+4 Over +2(+4 halved Minor God/Divine Artifact)) Total: +6
Lily (+8(+3 Major +2 Home Territory +3 Divine Artifact)) and Kyouko (+2.5(+3 Major +2 Home Territory then halved)) Total: +10

However due to Yasakani, Mik Hael loses two points reducing him to +4

Thus:
Mik Hael: +4
Lily and Kyouko: +10

With the 10 sided die roll, Mik Hael has a 6% chance of winning, 4% chance of tying and a 90% chance of losing.

The odds are overwhelming in Lily and Kyouko's favor.

[Philote]

Jester used the motes to make it a Major Spirit and a Divine Artifact at the same time (Using 8 motes), so he would have at least a +3 for the Divine Artifact. Not sure if +1 or +3 since he is using the Major spirit directly and not just on a team with the Major spirit.

Didn't you say you were using two Divine Artifacts? I forgot about home territory buff, so you would probably win.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

If you recheck the combat rules, it says offensive Divine Artifacts are +3 for your side while defensive ones are -2 for the enemy. Yasakani generates barriers and is thus defensive. And as for the sword-god, check the first page of this thread. Zale has it classified as a minor god.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh, and Zale, I'ma need a bulk deal for Jassi and Jissei. I was thinking four [4] points for the two of them (since they'll be minor gods, it'll be a discount from 6 points to 4)?

I'll upgrade Khadai to major goddess before then, but still. Kinda trying to cut down on the time before I can make some more deities. I wanna make the following in the next week to week-and-a-half's time.

Major:
Jassi: goddess of goodness and healing
Jissei: god of wickedness and withering (age/sickness/rot)
Khadai: (upgraded) goddess of sin/crime and strife

Minor:
Vai: goddess of pride
Prasim: goddess of greed
Desra: goddess of lust
Eda: goddess of gluttony
Nasta: goddess of wrath
Slomna: goddess of sloth
Indiva: goddess of envy

Any way I can work toward that in 7-14 days?

[Philote]

Ok, that makes more sense.

The rules on Divine Artifacts are a little weird at the moment. Smitex2 is stronger than a Divine Artifact (-4 motes), but I can sort of see why since Divine Artifacts are permanent. I'm not sure why defensive ones should be weaker either, since they take same motes to make. It would discourage the use of defensive Divine Artifacts.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I can understand some of his reasoning too, but not all of it, especially with defensive artifacts. I love defensive stuff. Redoing my math for the battle though the results come out like this: Jester has a 79% chance of losing, 6% chance of tieing, and 15% chance of winning. It's a little better for him, but not by much.

If Mina joins in and brings the katana, Kagenobara, with her, then my group's bonus goes up to +17 and Jester can't win regardless of what he rolls.

If Mina sends Kagenobara by itself then the team's bonus rises up to +13 and Jester has a 94% chance of losing, a 3% chance of tieing, and a 3% chance of winning. Not good for him obviously and I plan to create more Divine Artifacts tomorrow as well making his odds of winning even lower.

[Philote]

It would be funny if he won though  I'd imagine you would be shocked.

I think I'll add another Divine Artifact as well tomorrow, one that might be of some use to the council. With restrictions so as to not be used against me of course

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I seriously need to get a hold of Crav. Hopefully my idea will work out, and if so, it will CERTAINLY increase the relationship between Crav and Uburra-Namall (and their people in the future).

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I wouldn't be surprised. I'd just think of all the times when I had a 90% chance and I lost then all of the times when I won with a 10% chance to cheer myself up.

@Shad: Once Jester's been dealt with, Mina will deal with Khadai. The Kitsune, Tanuki, Raiju, and Nekomata will have alerted Mina of both Jester's and Khadai's presence. All four of the mythos are Mina's equivalent of an alarm system or guard system and they have feral senses so theycan smell Khadai despite her being invisible. Due to being mythos, they are also smart enough to know not to fight a god/goddess of any level.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Ahem. Not INVISIBLE. IMPERCEPTIBLE. Khadai had made herself IMPERCEPTIBLE.

And just what the heck do you mean by deal with???
