So, obviously it's not coming out today.
In the OOC's place, however, I should make an Update for you all:
I am ALMOST done with the OOC. The hardest part for me, believe it or not, is the backstory to it. As I have said, the main plot of the RP doesn't really matter much in this case, only as much as you all want it to.
That said, I must admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I can't NOT put at least a little effort into something, even something like this.
Not helped is that, sure enough, I needed to nuke hard drive stuff again, which caused a bit of a set-back needless to say. X_X
Regardless, at the rate I am going now, I should be able to make the Friday deadline. So expect the OOC done either tomorrow or the day after. ^_^
In the meantime, to keep you all busy, I'll do as Windpipe has before, and Give you all the CS to use to make your stuff.
I should let you all know three things however before I do:
First of all, I have no character limit. I myself am likely gonna use several characters during this. The only limit I have on character amount is the limit of your own mind. Don't make more characters than you feel you can handle.
Secondly, With the first in mind, it's recommended, but not mandatory, that you all create a main character for this group of protagonists.
Finally, As I mentioned before, to give creative freedom, I am allowing you to create Deities to use as you feel you need to. But, as I've also said before, there is a Hierarchy in mind, based on the level of strength within a God, and the size and/or importance of their Domain (Basically what they're the God "Of". For example: Ares is the God of War, therefore War is his Domain.) It is very much possible for a God of a lower tier to ascend, or be promoted if you will, becoming a higher class of God than before, up to the "True-God" status. Note: Demigods are a divine variable for both power and domain. Some were born with, or gained, more power than others, some could be considered High-class gods in their own right. Therefore, "Demigod" is not a tier in the Hierarchy. (The rules of the hierarchy applies to them however, so no accessing the highest two tiers, even for them.)
The Hierarchy is as Follows:
- Low-Class God: The lowest, weakest class of Gods in the heirarchy. Some don't even consider them as Gods, as they are more akin to divine servants like Angels and the like. However, they possess a domain of which they oversee and administrate, however insignificant it is in the grand scheme of things. Therefore they are technically considered Gods. (The Muses of Greek Mythology, for Example, can be classified as Low-class Gods.)
- Middle-Class God: From insignificant to somewhat important, Middle-Class Gods are those who oversee the elements and concepts of society and life formed by mankind. Fire, Marriage, War, Peace, Love, Wrath, Thunder, Ice, Water, Wind, and the list goes on. A majority of gods in any Pantheon can be classified as the middle-class. They are not quite as powerful as people believe them to be, but they are still those who are worthy of godhood in their right and power, and unlike the Low-class, no one can deny that.
- High-Class God: As suggested by their name, the High-class Gods are the most powerful of the "Class" Gods. They are often the chief gods of their pantheons, overseeing the other gods and the world as a whole. Their domain, as a result, is usually either something of great importance, like the Sky, the Sun, or the Sea, or their domains are the pocket-celestial realms such as the Underworld/Hell or Heaven. A Grim Reaper, an Agent of Death, is also categorized as High-Class Deity. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, the Norse' Odin, and Egypt's Ra are prominent examples of High-Class Gods.
- True God: An arrogant name, you say? Well good, these gods very well deserve the arrogant pride of such a title. The "True God" is the highest level of Godhood that one can ascend to. Unlike the others, their domain are the entirety of a Universe, a dimension, for they are the ones that legends state create their universe and all things within it. Unless the universe they make is monotheistic, they are more often than not the ones that gives birth to Pantheons, and the gods below them are their children. However, this is a Multiverse. As such, while they at their prime within their own universe, they are exponentially weakened when they are outside their own domain. A prominent example that come to mind is Greek's Gaia.
- Creator God: If a True God is the God of a Universe, than a Creator God is the God of the Multiverse. They are the first beings in their reality, and are the creators of the first universes united in a single reality. They are the first to create land, life, the foundations of the world, and relay the core principles of reality to all universes within, need they be the first ones created by them, or others created by True Gods. The Multiverse itself is their domain, and only by entering "another" Reality/Multiverse, or the darkness of Oblivion outside of existence itself, would they be weakened as a result of going outside said Domain. They are also the rarest of the Gods, as its a status no one, not even a True God, can ever ascend to, as one is simply "born" a Creator God. Possibly as a result of their rarity, the Creator Gods are hardly, if ever, worshiped by humanity; very few people are aware of a Creator God's existence, and by the god's will, it stays that way. (This tier is off-limits to all but the GMs, unless someone gives us a REALLY good idea of one to use. Bear in mind: We WILL be strict, and there is a good chance we will not accept it.)
- Origin: -CLASSIFIED- (This tier is COMPLETELY off-limit to all but GM use.)
Now then, The CS:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Species: (If you're a God, select your Tier here.)
Position/Occupation: (If you are a God, select your Domain here. (Adhere to the Heirarchy; No "Low-Class" God of Heaven))
Weapon:
Skill/Abilities/Powers: (Even for Gods, try to keep it as balanced as possible, and
NO TIME/SPACE!)
Personality:
Backstory:
For the sake of both time, and suspense, the GMs are not required to fill out these CSes, unless they wish to do so. They will, however, have to explain them to us, and I to them. For the Record: I'll likely create a CS for my protagonist character and post it with the OOC.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Enjoy. ^_^
