    I'll be happy with that. Thanks domino!


    After school I'll edit my post, so it can end up after Yurius talks to Ignus or such, he would run into Wysdon on his way back home.

    Allright. So to help with the confusion, in 163 is when Yurius meets with Ignus and Khaline goes to Tesni.
    In the year 300 Tesni, Ignus and Marama meet together, and Wysdom meets Yurius in Rephlon after his quest.

    I'm sorry, I'm a little confused (I've been too long), who does Tesni need to make weapons for, and in which order?

    For Yurius in the year 163 and to Arzian in the year 300 (but he already seemed to just give up and make something of his own). That's also the year she will meet Marama and Ignus.

    So my plan is Wysdom is waiting to intercept Yurius and see what the hell he is doing, and then have Realitì come to surface after they do their stuff, and maybe Eliphon and Realitì could like meet up, cause she has a plan of what to do with her human creator.

    Hey guys...I'm late, but better late than never, right? Hehehe.

    Name: La Mamba, Witch Mother, Mistress of the Black Arts, Queen of the Underworld, Sorceress Supreme, the Unspeakable One, Secret Keeper, Granter of Wishes.
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    Aspects: Witchcraft, Necromancy, Secrets, Prophecy, Shadows, Death/Afterlife, Wish-granting, Healing.
    Powers and Weapons: La Mamba is the mother of all witches; as such, she knows every spell, ritual and curse in existence. Her knowledge of healing is unparalleled, and she can even bring someone back from the dead if she so wishes. The Underworld is her domain and she can travel back and forth to the Land of the Living at will. Mamba can grant wishes to whoever she chooses, create black holes and travel a great distance through them, levitate at will, brew innumerable potions, imbue amulets and talismans with her powerful magick, and converse with the shades of the dead. Because she can speak to the dead, she knows many secrets and makes a business of trading them, for the right price. If you speak her name, she will hear it, which is why most call her the Unspeakable One, to keep from unnecessarily summoning her. Mamba can see the future through rituals or magical tools, but she is mostly interested in the present. She fights with bow and arrow, or a knife for close-up action.
    Cohorts: La Mamba is regularly seen with bat-cats, moths, owls, and living, flesh-eating rose vines that she personally created by watering regular roses with her blood.
    Personality: La Mamba is a conundrum of esoterica, and she likes it that way. She reveals very little about herself and lets people think she's scary and evil, so that they won't bug her with silly prayers. Everyone knows not to invoke her unless it is about something very serious. Mamba is also highly skilled at manipulating events in her favor, but she only does so when it is absolutely necessary. She is called the Secret Keeper, so of course she loves figuring out what her fellow gods are hiding, and she is most vengeful if someone vexes her. Whenever something important is happening, she makes it her business to appear and watch eagerly as events unfold, only interfering if she thinks the outcome will affect her negatively.
    History: Mamba was born out of the desperate calls of the innocent in the dark of night. She makes their misery her own and she listens to their wishes, granting them judiciously. She hates bullies with a passion and delights in humbling those that abuse their power, or killing them if that doesn't work.

    Hey guys. I'm in the middle of a post and should have it up tomorrow afternoon at the latest. In it, I will cover Yurius's negotiation with Ignus in year 163 and his meeting with Wysdom in 300. As a heads up, he will ask Ignus for 2 things:
    - teach Yurius how to forge weapons and armor so he can pass that knowledge to the Simians for their own use.
    -personally make weapons and armor for Yurius himself and the spirits in his newly formed army, The Immortal Legions.
    In return he will offer her:
    -100 apprentices from among the Simians to help her forge. At the end of 20 years, apprentices who wish to leave will be allowed and those who wish to stay will be the same.
    -Make it known to everyone alive that Ignus’s skills and creations are what the mightiest empire in the universe and the mightiest army among the gods use. The idea here is that everyone will have to acknowledge her creations as great. She will not have to feel ashamed of inferior creations any longer. She might feel secure enough to stop hiding herself with such a wonderful accomplishment.

    In the next post, depending on the outcome of Ignus’s negotiation, he will end up asking Tesni for something else. If he gets what he wants from Ignus, he'll simply ask her for trade between Simians and Dragons. Simians can trade animal skins and wood from trees native to rephlon in exchange for metal ores and precious gems from Ignus. If he is unable to have his Simians or immortal legions armed by Ignus herself, he will also ask her for weapons and knowledge of forge in addition to trade. But if Ignus agrees, he will not ask Tesni for those.

    In the interest of clarity, I have a suggestion. It would be helpful if each post would include both the year and location of its content. The Witch Goddesses's recent post, for example, has something other gods might respond to, but since I don't know when or where it's occurring, I don't know where Yurius is or what he's doing during that event and I therefore don't know how to have him deal with it.

    Sorry it's taken me so long to post. I'll definitely have it up tomorrow by noon.

    OK, I edited my post and put the time. For the place, I just put 'Khaline's forest' because that's the only forest I know about, lol.

    @jable1066 hey, you posted on the thread without sending me your template first or posting it here. Can you please delete your post and send me the template for confirmation?

    @Erik-the-Enchanter! Well, our world doesn't really have an underworld, just yet. And it's actually something that I was planning on using. So could you edot your post to either include information about the underworld, like how it was created or where it came from, where it is ect or mention that the souls just drifted around or something like that.

    @MagicPenguin Ignus will probably help him, but tell him not to mention her name until she makes something worth mentioning. And she wouldgladly teach him, and give him all the weapons she anyway didn't think of showing off to Tesni.

    Hmm, I'm still a little confused on the dates, with some posts suggesting things happen at the same time while other separately, it's my own fault really, but just tell me to edit if need be.

    @Domino355 : No problemo. I'm new and got excited, without reading the rules and wanted to play.

    Name: Bort

    Appearance: Short, portly, unspectacular. Human-like although some would say he looks rather amphibious.

    Gender: TBC although he’s fairly sure he’s a he.

    Aspects: Bort is the good of Ecology and systems. He was put on the planet to protect it. He has no love for the inhabitants of the land, as they seemingly seek to destroy it at any given opportunity.

    Powers and Weapons: As the God of Ecology, he has the power to create new life and Eosystems. He can restore broken, volatile and barren lands. He can not however, restore the life of any creature or God - at least not that he knows. Bort also has the power to in-directly repair broken and fractured communities although this is something he is not aware of.

    Cohorts: Has a small lizard that likes to shed it’s skin called Peter. Peter is a wealth of knowledge who teaches Bort about the history of the planet and the people and creatures that live there. How he knows this information is a mystery to Bort.

    Personality: A little self loathing, pitying, melancholic. Neurotic tendencies. Obsessive compulsive. Deep down he yearns to learn exactly why he was put on the planet, a reason which isn’t obvious to him initially. He envies the God’s of old, who were strong, purposeful and powerful.

    History: He was created in a time where the planet was beginning to decline. The God’s of old had disappeared long ago, as humans took over the planet and began to worship technologies over their creators.

    Notes: I think Bort has joined the story in the future. Or… Given he’s there, I guess it’s the present. It is a time that has striking resemblance to the world we live in now. Peter however, has been around for much longer and he can remember the old God’s. Though he is a second character, which I believe contravenes the law, so his story shall have to wait!

    Edit: It won't let me delete it, but I'm happy for something with the correct privileges to do so :)

    Did you read through the RP? Because I'm not really sure how to fit you into the story, if your character is from the future and all.

    Yeah, maybe he's too far in the future and would just confuse matters. I've had a better read this morning - and see that the direction is slightly different to where I first thought. I was eager to play.

    Feel free to erase my post. Bort's time may have to wait, as I see this is a little more of a traditional mythology story. Which is pretty clear in the first line of the first post, which I seemed to have glossed over - doh!

    It seems to want to focus on the time before the future...

    For what it's worth, I think Bort is an interesting character. If you reworked him a little bit, he'd probably fit in. Nothing in the original post suggested to me he was in the future, so you could just edit the template as necessary and drop that idea if you wanted.

    @MagicPenguin Just a heads up, Khaline is going to start messing with your character. Not physically violence, just kicking dirt on his best clothing.

    Yeah, by the way, for my next plot point it would really help me if all your characters just started to fight with each other and that. So basically you have until the year 350 to just tear at each other's faces. You're doing a great job at it right now, so just keep it up. (I mean it seems as if Marama and Tesni are about to tear each other a new one, Khaline and Yurius, Wysdom and Yurius).

    I should have changed to Realitì before attacking the soilders, then I could have created nooses for all of them or something.

    Also, I have a plan involving Earth, so no one do anything with that please. I got something I think is pretty good coming up.
