Okay, so let's do the druids and the neanderthals and the wiccans as well. Pop culture can make ANYTHING into what seems like mythology, doesn't make it mythologically accurate.

That's like changing a Gorgon's power of Petrifaction into Immobilization, because some Hollywood producer didn't like the thought of turning people to stone.

You don't just introduce pieces and tidbits willy-nilly. They have to be based somewhere on what was believed by the societies they come from.

If you embellish, it's best to just embellish on the facts that otherwise would not be available...If they already have facts established, don't change them...

Well something like the battle for Troy i think, That was a real war that they added the Olympian people into to describe why the war took place. I was just making a general statement on how some of the myths could of come to be. Ask Wulf though he is the resident expert.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

I don't remember that being a real war.

I personally don't know i just thought there was some kind of war that they built off of.

It's mythology. You can't prove that it was a factual event. Troy existed, but no one knows the TRUE reason for its fall. And no Trojan history has been recovered to actually validate the Trojan War as fact.

But who's wiki is it?


If you have a good idea for wizard, please edit the page to your desires.

If anyone doesn't like it, we can argue until we reach a compromise.

I'm a nuetral democratic with a heck of a lot of stuff on his plat at the moment so I currently don't have the etime to argue, and I now that wulf would e the first to interject. So I'd prefer for everyone to give their ideas first before anyone changes anything. It's a lot easier to plan a a building for a day instead of having to rebuild it eighteen times before it's sound.

Then tell me what you want to do.


The problem is that all of us have different "Styles" when it comes to writing like this. We clash because we all have a different idea of how it should go.

True.

But I think if we combine the best parts of our capabilities and perspectives, it should go well.

first go with what you knnow best. Zale you seem to have a mind for stats and maps so we start with one creature at a time beginning with the ones that we have already used in the Rp and form an area map of it as well as a stat list. Whoever knows the creature the most or can simply come up with the most "Expletive deleted" can work on the actual origins and abilities. before adding them however you need to post them here for review. We will begin with Sprinheeled Jack, then the brownies, and work are way from there. At the same time we will each handle our character's profiles as well as the monsters and mythos that have interacted with them. Hopefully we can find someone that can turn our rough sketches into something actually noteworthy, but until then they will have to do for the images of the characters. No previously existing images for our characters, unles you entirely suck at drawing anything.

Let us start by establishing an appearance for him.


We already know that he is an Infernal (Relating to or associated with demons) who has the element of fire (Dynamism/energy) his actions speak of little planning and much malice (Chaotic Evil). He seems to be fast and very agile. (High Speed).

Capable of slicing through brick.
Speed (15-18)
Very fast.
Skill (2-3)
