Yet another Lords of Creation OCC (7)

I say, tomorrow, each of us pays a 3 mote entrance fee for joining the tournament.

Those motes go towards making a new Spirit with the Omni's assistance somewhere between the level of Over and Omni. This spirit would have a combat advantage of +240, making it necessary for 3 Over-Spirits at full power to be able to match it.

This new spirit doesn't create anything or gain motes, but enforces any laws voted on by the council.

Interesting.

Only people participating, or all people?

[Philote]

We just need more events really.

Maybe the Watchman could ask those not participating to donate motes as well. Then having them feel pressured to due to the number donating motes to be in the tournament.

[Zaleramancer]

Waverider is still amnesic, so you'd have to convince one of the other sea gods to show..

[Philote]

Maybe, so do you think we should make this new spirit? We need name for its rank.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I vote to call its rank a Greater Overgod. Not sure what its name should be, or what its domain should be quite yet, though.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I was thinking I would have one of my deities help her out later on with her memory loss.

[Zaleramancer]

How many motes would that be, if every god gives three?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I think not Greater Overgod, but how about the "Honor God."

So the Divine Ranks would be:

Omni
Honor
Over
Major
Minor
Demi


I think it sounds nice.

[Zaleramancer]

I'm kinda making an entire new thing for what this shall be.

I'm trying to make it have great power, but limited scope.

Not a true deity.. more like a savant of a deity. Very, very good at one thing, yet incapable of doing other things.

[Zaleramancer]

We are the Collective.

We are born from many to serve the many.

I'm considering...

Paragons.

Paragons are puesdo-deities.

Imagine, if you will, a vortex of divine energy. Power sufficient to boil seas to dust and send mountain ranges into orbit. All this power taken and molded into a rough physical form, then gifted with rudimentary intellegence- and a single outlet for all that power.. That's what a paragon is.

 They wield divine power, but are not whole divinities in themselves. Paragons can do virtually anything, but are restricted to a single thing. A paragon made to fight would be nearly unstoppable- but it could do nothing else with it's power. They are non-sapient beings, and require direction to do anything.

Paragons are created when at least three gods (From different pantheons) expend points to make them. Paragons cost 54 motes. This cost is split evenly between the contributing gods. At creation, the gods decide the purpose of the Paragon, as well as the method for ordering it. By default, the Paragon follows the orders of the gods that created it- this requires either a unanimous agreement, or 2/3s of the gods agreeing on an order. Changing how a Paragon is controlled requires unanimous consent from all controlling gods.

Paragons may not gain or loose divine motes, or take any divine actions. They have a single purpose which they fulfill, and are incapable of learning or doing anything beyond that. Paragons may not be given increased abilities. They are static. Nothing and no one can change anything about them once they've been made, other than the Omni.

Most Paragons lie inactive in the form of swirling shapeless energy when not preforming their duty. All Paragons require regular infusions of divine energy to remain strong, one or more of the gods that created it must give it a single mote of energy daily. Failure to do this will result in the Paragon weakening for five days, then vanishing in a blast of divine power- causing massive local destruction. Energy requirements for missed days are cumulative, so one must pay for all "Missed" motes. Miss two days, you have to pay for that day and the last two.

Please remember. Unless a Paragon is made in a way that requires intelligence (Such as one that serves as a mentor) then it will be rather simple-minded and heavily literal.


Based on that, it takes a minimum of three different players each contributing 18 motes each to make one, then an additional mote each day you have it.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Hm...interesting.

Could a Paragon be made into a deity?

[Zaleramancer]

Read it again.

Static beings. Unless the Omni decides to make it a deity, then nothing can.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Okay, okay, keep your shorts on. I may have glimpsed past a few things...overall, I have a good idea how they would work.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Interesting. So then 9 High Gods would each give 6 motes apiece to create one Paragon. That'll be powerful and near unstoppable.

On another note, could I create a Divine Artifact that covers an area equal to all of Mina's land?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I thought Divine Artifacts had a radius.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Well, the Watchman's city, Spectropolis, is a Divine Artifact so I think what I have in mind might be possible.

[Zaleramancer]

Something along the lines of..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh...I did not know that Spectropolis itself was a divine artifact.

In THAT case...

Zale...what would you say to making a plane of existence an artifact? Some discarded balled-up paper ball of a dimension, inadvertently cast away by Uburra-Namall's mind whilst dreaming up her perfect place? How much would that set me back?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

[Zaleramancer]

It's supposed to be a near unstoppable juggernaut that pounds problems to death with raw, bludgeoning divine power.

Also, what would it do? I don't really mind since Gilgamesh's seem to cover most of the planet somehow..
