Post subject: | Giants In The Playground (Gods Role Play) |
Giants in the playground is in the future, and several important things are happening at the present time of 2035. Home based holodecks, Food printing, Textile Printing, A.I, cloning and medical sensors that monitor brain waves, heart beats and all other vitals are common place, and military weaponry has advanced far beyond the limits of the previously expected hypothesis and the first colony on Mars has been a roaring success for the past five years. There are talks of starting a One World Government in ten years, and religion is on a sharp decline as the perceived need for gods and the spiritual walk of life is non existent. In the age of Designer babies, a Human end to world hunger and the potential of a One World government to end conflict across the globe, Man has become his own God. However, Man grew proud. The belief that Man had become their own God has ingrained it'self in the world. We are infantile divine beings, gods in embryo. Some of us may be literal children, while others of us, while adult Human beings, have still not realized our potential as deities. However, one day, our lives changed. Finding ourselves hunted down like animals, we fight back, and strike terror into the heart of our enemies. The proverbial Herod has come for our lives. Name: It has to be kind of serious. Mortal Name: Having a deity named "Bill Taylor" is kind of goofy, but if your god is named "Bill Taylor" that's fine as a mortal name. Age: Sex: Appearance: History:(So far) Domains: What form does your divine magic take? A Domain is something that your mortal followers feed off for power, and that you have ultimate mastery over. For example, A god of Dragons can have the Fire domain and the Reptile domain, and the Dragon Portfolio. He'd have power over general fire, and he'd power over all reptiles, generally, but to specialize in the kind of reptile and fire, he'd have to possess the "Dragon" portfolio. You start with 3 Domains. Portfolio: A portfolio makes you "The definitive god of X". You can start with up to two of these. You grow in general power through multiple ways. One of the easiest ways to grow in power is by gaining Portfolios, which you have to earn by performing magical feats with your Domains or other Portfolios. Traits: One Trait per Domain. One Trait per Portfolio, plus one Trait. Game Mechanics Explained: Please post the actions of your IC post at the bottom of your posts in spoilers. For example " Lassy glares at Bubsy, god of Kidnappers before pulling Little Timmy from the Well by his teeth. Before Bubsy can react, Lassy barks loudly at the fledgeling deity, which promptly causes Bubsy to explode into ash, as if vaporized. Lassy, God of Dogs, drags Little Timmy from the Well and Barks at the God of Kidnappers, vaporizing them with his cosmic bark." -1 Free Action pulling Timmy from the Well, and -1 Minor Action to destroy the minor Demigod Bubsy. Major Acts: Major acts are the epic feats of the gods. That which flexes a god's muscle, showing that they mean business. For example, a world wide flood, an asteroid colliding into the planet, and the zombification or resurrection of all history's dead is a Major Act. Minor Acts: A modest expense of effort is a minor act for a god. If you have to use a minor Act of expense in fighting a mortal, for example, that mortal has earned the right to be a sung hero in the annals of history for all eternity. Basically, a Minor act is something like causing regional floods, slaying a legendary dragon, or raising up a pair of Humans to replace Humanity. Minor Acts also reflect just attacking an enemy with an exceptional offense, putting up a better defense, etcetera. Epitomy's and Epitomization: Other Information: Both creativity AND power grabbing are encouraged depending on your playstyle, AS LONG as it does not step on the toes of other player's fun. For example, if you can play a magic grabbing Power Monger without cutting off other player's enjoyment, you can be rewarded for it. AND if you can be a Kitchen God and play well, adding to the enjoyment of the role play without so much as lifting a finger to fight against other PCs or NPCs during your entire play through, you can be just as rewarded as the Power Monger. Creations: You must pour your magical powers into either creations, abstract principles or some form of long lasting legacy(ies) in order to retain power in this role play. The more proactive you are in preserving yourself and causing long lasting change in the world, the more pertinent you will be to the game's setting. Don't just grab power, despite what I said before. Be interesting. Be creative, in other words, show quality role playing and story telling, and put them into your efforts as a character. Traits: Disclaimer: Real World religions will not be mentioned except in passing and inoffensively in this RP. That's why this RP is in the mid-future instead of in present day. For example, the origin of the Gregorian Calendar might be explained, but not the importance or unimportance of any religion, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Athiesm, etcetera. The inclusion of Athiesm and Agnosticism in the OP is not intended to offend, validate or invalidate any faith, and is instead intended to reflect a hypothetical situation with hypothetical influences in a fictional setting, even if certain names or organizations are mentioned. At worst, if any view is mentioned, political, idealogical or theological, it is from the perspective of original characters that do not exist in the real world, and is not intended to reflect the views of any organization or person that exists in the real world. What you do with your turn: Warning: Yes, gods can die. If this happens, you won't necessarily be gone from the Setting of GITP forever, but you will need time to rejuvenate. It could take an in-game year or more. The smallest passage of time it would take to recuperate from dying for a god is an entire Season. (That is, three months). |
