    With Mul'amons "consume" power I dont think Realitì will like him much. Also has anyone made a profile for the wiki I made? If not its OK, but if you want to edit anything u need a profile. If not I might be able to edit for someone if they want something done.

    By the way. I'm slightly confused, are there more than pne dragon on Ignus, or just one?

    Sorry for my late post, school is starting up. Sorry for my other short post about Realitì falling into water, I wanted a dramatic way to introduce Wysdom.

    So just double checking, Wysdom and reality are the same being, just different personalities and powers?

    So Wysdom is still in the year 155, could Adrian do something @halisme were it takes him until the year 300 to answer, and then for my next posti can have Wysdom run from Eliphon, and at the year like 304 he catches her and we go from there? Cause its a bit hard with someone in year 300 and I'm in 155 and like the one other guy is still in year 1?

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if you'd be alright with me joining in at this stage of the game. I had an idea for a type of arbiter god, since a god of justice doesn't yet seem to exist. I also want to explore the world of Rephlon some more, since most of the action so far seems to be occurring on Ignus with the Dragons and Yammu. My idea is that, when Realiti created life on Rephlon, she created a sentient, intelligent species that, to this point, have gone unnoticed or unmentioned. They are a group of intelligent gorilla-like creatures (I'm simply calling them the Simians for now; creative, I know) and, because the other Gods seem not to pay much attention to them, they grow through the plains and forests without much interference. Without a God directly supervising them, they have no one to arbitrate their conflicts, create laws, or otherwise guide them as the Dragons and Yammu have in Arzian, Tesni, and Marama, so, while they take great pride in their independence, their culture is one based on war and power rather than right and wrong; it's a survival of the fittest type of society, at first. I have an idea for an extended origin story for my god, but in short, he is born from the lamentations of the weak among this society who are treated unjustly and yearn for a fairer rule of law. From their blood and sorrow, the Arbiter God Yurius is born. I'd like for him to shape this society into an empire of conquerors in the long run.

    Here's a template to start, if you consent to it:

    Name: Yurius

    Titles: God of Justice and Conquest, Arbiter of Disputes, Keeper of Order, General of the Immortal Legions

    Gender: Male

    Appearance: Tall, broad shouldered, Yurius's head is obscured by an ornate, golden helmet with a Y shaped opening for his face. When you look inside it, his features are obscured by shadow so that you cannot see anything about his face except his eyes, which glow red. Despite this, he has a normal, human-sounding voice. He wears golden armor, complete with breastplate, gauntlets, and armored pants with boots, as well as a long red cape bearing his sigil, a silver scale. Over the parts of his body not covered in armor, you can see either his chain mail or his white colored clothing underneath. Curiously, you cannot directly see any part of his actual body; he is completely encased in armor or clothing. It is therefore unknown what he truly looks like without it.

    Aspects: Yurius is a representation of the desire for justice and fairness. Considers his domain to be law-making, arbitrating grievances, trying criminals, negotiations, politics, and war.

    Powers and Weapons: - Commands armies of lesser celestial spirits with no other allegiance, like pantheistic, independent spirits of water or fire, or simply very weak spiritual entities with no domain of their own. These are collectively known as the Immortal Legions.
    -In battle, he wields Throgmir, a massive obsidian war hammer of unparalleled weight and crushing power. The weapon imbues the wielder with great strength and stamina, allowing them to shrug off normally lethal blows and fight with the strength, speed, and prowess of ten normal soldiers. His armor is impenetrable to any weapon but one imbued with similarly divine properties. Seeing it is said to be an omen of death at the hands of someone the witness has wronged in the past without punishment or, among armies, an omen of losing the war in a crushing defeat. He is also capable of wielding just about any other weapon with skill, such as lances, swords, shields, bow and arrows, etc.
    - An expert tactician: always in command of a military conflict with knowledge of troop movements, enemy weaknesses, and possible attacks and counterattacks. Wields armies as if they were extensions of himself. He prefers leading as a general, moving troops and viewing the battle as a whole, to fighting on the front lines himself.
    - A fantastic planner and legislator; brings law and order to the people he guides and brings them to prosperity.
    - Uses a silver scale in arbitrating conflicts and trying criminals. He doesn't weigh anything physical on the scale, but spectators to the trial or negotiation can see it tip back and forth as Yurius considers arguments, as if weighing insubstantial ideas and moral values. Yurius is almost always able to render just judgement using his wits and his scale where lesser beings would not.
    - Pocket Dimension: immediate access to many and varied weapons. Can switch between them virtually instantaneously.
    - Travelling Portals: Can create portals leading anywhere within the Act One Universe. He can put the portal anwhere, in any orientation, as long as it is within his line of sight. The portals themselves can be any size, but larger ones (those used to transport whole armies, for example) may tire him quickly. The portal starts as a crack in mid-air (or on the surface of something, if applicable) and splits vertically. Essentially, they are rips in the fabric of reality. He can repair the rips and dismiss the portals at will as well, but if he leaves them alone, they will eventually repair themselves, slowly shrinking until they disappear.

    Cohorts: -His immortal warhorse, Blackfire, with golden chariot.
    -The Immortal Legions: These are a group of weaker spirits and celestial entities with no former allegiance to any other Gods. They include pantheistic spirits such as gods of trees, gods of small shrines and temples, and gods of individual lakes and mountains and landmarks. Also includes spirits without any real domain, or spirits that once had an allegiance to another god, but, for whatever reason, chose to join. They came into being as a natural consequence when Realiti created Rephlon. As they had no where else to go and no real purpose, Yurius took them in and organized them into a powerful army that he calls his own. They idolize their general and are fiercely loyal to him because he gave them purpose and because of his prowess in the ways of war. In short, a band of celestial misfits the god was able to gather and whip into shape.
    - First among the Legions, his Lieutenants Borin, spirit of the Great Tree of the Simians, and Zokmod, an apparently very weak spirit of no particular domain with a gift for spying, recruiting, and information gathering. Borin is excellent in battle and Zokmod is an excellent planner and political maneuverer.
    -The Simian People: the gorilla-like race of intelligent beings from which Yurius was born. In their infancy, very disorganized with a hierarchy and justice system based purely on physical strength and charisma. A group of clans at constant war with one another. When Yurius is born, he gradually organizes and transforms them into a society with harsh, fair laws and a monarchical hierarchy that allow them to eventually prosper into a great empire. They highly pride themselves on their individuality and freedom, having had great independence at their birth because other Gods seemed to leave them to themselves.

    Personality: Yurius's defining trait is his thirst for fairness. Born of the fierce regret and determination of the downtrodden and those too weak to live in the primitive Simian society, he is an embodiment of their desires, cannot stand to see the weak oppressed, and will do whatever it takes to stop it, no matter the cost or consequence to himself or others. He feels a strong need to impose order onto chaos and bring individually weak factions or entities together to create something stronger. His first instinct is always to negotiate or arbitrate a matter peacefully, but if he cannot find justice that way, he will go to war in order to see it done.
    As a result of his insistence on fairness and justice, he tends to see matters in black and white, with little room for gray and little mercy for those he sees as guilty until they are punished appropriately. In addition, he sometimes lets his anger get the better of him, even when it is justified. Some might call him hasty or headstrong, seeking to impose his view of justice before he knows the consequences of doing so, but his actions are always well thought-out and he always has a backup plan or six, just in case. Some might also say he is somewhat cold and unforgiving because of his insistence that the guilty face their sentence, no matter the circumstance; however, no one can say his proclamations are unfair. He is flexible, and will change his mind when presented with new information if he feels it appropriate to do so.


    So, let me know what you think of these ideas and whether it's okay to throw in at this late stage of the game with this character. If everyone is okay with this and I'm not stealing someone's job by mistake, then I'll go ahead and try writing up a post.

    Thanks.

    Hi @MagicPenguin and welcome to the Roleplaying section of Writing Forums. You have an awesome template, but I think you forgot the step of sending it to a gm first?

    If you go up to the top of your screen, you can see your username. Click your name, and a screen of tabs will fall down. find the tab "conversations", and then create a new conversation. Add the person @Domino355 (Just do Domino335, not the @ sign), since he is the GM, (game maker), and send him your template. He might ask you to change some things though.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask me or anyone else.
    Welcome to Writing Forums. :)

    Arzian is going to have a lot of fun with him, while Khaline is going to be in a bit of a love-hate relationship.

    Oh, Realitì is going to have a fun time. And I wanted to make sure Magic, it was pretty hard for me at first.

    I wrote up a first post, but it ended up being super long because I was trying to get through all the origin story mythos stuff, which was a bit more detailed than some of the other gods'. It's all out of the way now, so my future posts shouldn't be nearly so long, but is two pages too long to post for something like this?

    Sure, just make sure you write which years each event in your story happen and make sure you don't contradict anything that was written before. When I have time (i.e never) I'll sit down and edit the timeline in the roleplay wiki

    Yeah, I admit, the grots are just a shameless ripoff of Groot.

    BTW, I'm thinking that what Ignus just made was the Black Chime of Arzian. She wants to give it to Tesni, but she will regect it due to it being "impractical". Arzian, on the other hand will see the Chimes' potential, and will play them in a madness inducing way, or maybe put a piece of the void in them. What do you think, @halisme @I.A. By the Barn ?

    Sorry, Chime's already made and in the temple that was built. Just there's nothing sentient on the planet to hear it yet.

    So, I apologize if my long post accidentally contradicted something that came before. If there are any continuity errors or events I forgot to incorporate, I'll edit the post ASAP.

    Reading the new posts now, and if you give me a list of events, i can edit the timeline on the Wiki Domino. I havnt been updating the Wiki lately, school has been time consuming. I was also wondering if anyone would be open to having the year 300 as kind of a stopping point, where we all actually interacted for a bit before moving along time? Could we all do that every now and then, so everyone can catch up and such, cause im a bit lost lol. And i think i might have added some god modding in my post, please tell me if you do see any so i can edit.

    Oh, and would anyone mind if I teleported all the gods to one place later in the future? I was thinking this could be part of Wysdoms plan to take over Ignus and Rephlon.

    I'm not opposed to Yurius meeting Wysdom in Rephlon in the year 300, but by that time I had hoped for him to be long finished with his quest to meet the forge deities and the Simian empire completely unified.

    I wanted the forge quest done and a pact made with one or both Gods by 214, where he'd come back and find the planet ravaged by the God Rephlon's depression. He'd re-establish his stewardship of the forest dwelling Simians and give them the knowledge to make weapons and armor, then have them conquer the tribes dwelling across the rest of the world over the next 86 years. I'm not sure how the other deities will react to this or whether they will cause problems, but that's the plan at present.

    Oh OK. I was thinking Wysdom and your character met on Ignus, while he was still travling, and while on Rephlon the depression of Eliphon happened. But ifyou want me to edit it, I can go right ahead.

    Well, what I wrote was taking place in roughly the year 160, not 300. By then, I hope to have him off the planet Ignus and back on Rephlon with a deal for armor and weapons, though the outcome of that remains to be seen. If you want to meet on Rephlon in 300, that's fine, but he should not be seeking the forge gods at that point because he has either already found them or given up.

    @gibble410 I have been planning to have crisis crossover years (written in red). These will be events that will have all characters involved and each player will need to catch up wit teir story to this year. And the first crisis is soon, taking place slightly after the year 300.
    @MagicPenguin You can have Yurius meet with Ignus. She won't be happy with what she had made, but he can still use it.
