Divine Wars[Closed]

[Fragile Dreams]

Divine Wars
There was a time when some of the Gods from different countries disappeared from their pantheons. People and other deities knew nothing for this stop of existence. Nobody knew where they gone and what they did, until now. This is the story where their deeds in a different plane are explained. A strange force from beyond, going by the name Nurturer, with power much greater than the gods known, kidnapped the deities from their countries and placed them in a different plane which he created. The reason? His amusement and his never-ending lust for knowledge. He will study them, read them and then he will decide who will go back home. The rules are simple, Survive by any means necessary. Subdue your opponent in any pairing or group activity and most of all, be a God.
Basically the whole story is about different good deities from the three well known mythologies, fighting against the evil deities of the same mythologies. Every god must use what he knows best, so i expect the players who will join to some reading about the characters first.


Greek pantheon: Always lustful, always desires, the sexual activities of many of the Greek gods were questioned and marked by the other Gods. Zeus with unstable sexual urges and his addiction to pretty mortal women, always brought conflict on Olympus. Aries stealing Aphrodite from Hephaestus and Hades kidnapping Persephone, all that show how the Olympian gods were no different than common humans. Their powers mixed with their humanistic behavior will be great assets in the “Game”.

Zeus ~ Fragile Dreams
Poseidon ~ Tevan
Hades ~ kckolbe
Athena ~ trippingserpent
Aphrodite ~ SanaeDiage
Artemis ~ Risa

Norse pantheon: Fearful, menacing, fierce but wise and trustfull as well, the Norse Gods depend on war and wisdom. Cold from their birth from the ice but strong as rocks, their fighting skills as well their personalities would bring a spicy flavor in the game, as well the help to their allies. What they need though is some touch of love on them. Maybe their opponents could do something for this.

Odin ~ Black Rabbit
Thor ~
Tyr ~
Freyja ~
Skadi ~ Tankou
Frigg ~

Egyptian pantheon: The deep conscience on Death, make the Egyptian gods grim and untrusty. Their belief that Death is the real life takes them away from experiencing war and love, which exactly is the point that Nurturer took them. How they will respond in a battle of dominance and submission towards other gods? How they will fight or keep their integrity safe from their enemies?

Ra ~
Horus ~ Krule
Anubis ~ Kanrya
Isis ~ Daylily
Bastet ~ ObsidianRae
Wosret ~

The Evil Ones: These deities fought the other divinities through history, some of them changed sides in this upcoming battle after feeling the incompetence of the Gods, these deserters now seek to rule over the divinities and humans out of strong belief that is right.. In the "Game" they combine their forces to bring down their enemies and even they are few, they are stronger than ever since one helps the other with gifts and help in the battle pairings. Should they win, the Evil ones will return and claim the pantheons as their owns. Losing, would mean forever damnation and torment.

Loki ~ Frafildur
Ares ~ Saku
Set ~ Dre
Rindr ~
Hecate ~
Eris ~
Kali ~
Sekhmet ~

I know the number of people seems very overwhelming but my main idea is to have challenges between gods. Through roleplay and private messaging the challenges would take place in different threads but the groups will have their own thread to RP together.The format of the groups it will be something like that:
1. Greek Pantheon
2. Norse Pantheon
3. Egyptian Pantheon
4. Temple (Which is a place where some of the good deities, can interact with each other, no matter which pantheon they belong.)
5. Evil Pantheon
6. From here and on every thread that it will be made will be a challenge between two or more gods. Even for fighting or seduction or enslavement. I trust the players will be mature enough and discuss the story's going and not GodModing, i know you play gods but think that you fight, have romantic affairs or being bound from another god. Or even been killed by one.

[Unishifter]

Consider my interest checked! One thing, though: Would we be limited to the characters listed here, or could other gods get involved? I notice that the villains have a few gods from other pantheons, too. Could the "good guys" get a few guests too?

I'm not thinking of anybody, by the way, I just think it would make things a bit more interesting.

[Fragile Dreams]

I thought of that to be honest, but the reason i added gods from other pantheons in the villains is to make them more. If we add more Gods to the other side then the number i think goes way off. Even now i think the number is too large.

[Myrleena]

I'm interested, in Hecate in this case.

[HairyHeretic]

It may make no difference to you, but the Valkyries weren't Goddesses, and wouldn't be anywhere near the same power levels as the Gods / Goddesses. If you're looking for a third female for the Aesir, what about Hel or Sif?

[Fragile Dreams]

I know they weren't Goddesses, but i wanted to add their battle skills in the game, since they one of the trademarks for Norse mythology. To be honest i wanted to add the Meanads in the game but it would be too much. But probably you are right, i might change it to Sif, to have the interaction between Thor and her, although i don't know how much she will help with farming ^_^.

[HairyHeretic]

I'd need to go reread the Sagas, but I don't recall the Valkyries taking much part in battles. Certainly they were responsible for choosing the Einherjar after though.

[Fragile Dreams]

They were. During the war with the Jörmungandr they took a small part in the fight. Basicaly they were choosing the best warriors who died in battles and carried them to Valhala.

[kckolbe]

I would be interested in rockin Hades

[Fragile Dreams]

I'm talking with a player right now that expressed interest for Hades earlier. If things don't turn out well, i will PM you. Do you know anything about Hades and Greek Mythology?

[SanaeDiage]

*raises her hand* Pick me! Pick me! I'll be Aphrodite!!!

[Fragile Dreams]

Recruited. ^_~

[GrinningHound]

I will play Loki, my favorite mythological diety.   ;D

[Saku]

I would totally love to play Ares if he's not taken. I love Ares, he's my favorite xD :)

[Fragile Dreams]

Hhhhmmm I hope you are not going to make him like the Ares in Hercules series ^_^

[GrinningHound]

Areeeeeees!

Great, we have a man god for me to fight!  ;D

Hmmm....how much of a total dick should I make Loki?   O:)

[Tankou]

I was thinking of playing one of two different gods. Personally Bastet was my first thought but the possibility of Play one of the Norse Nornir is a highly tempting choice. Is Verdandi a possibility in this or should I stay with Bastet?

[Saku]

Lol. No, I'd rather make Ares like wiki says *laughs* and spin off on my own take of how he would react and act xD *grins* I think I'll have fun with him ^^

Areeeeeees!

Great, we have a man god for me to fight!  ;D

Hmmm....how much of a total dick should I make Loki?

Right back at you! xD

[Rhapsody]

I'll take Tyr if no one's claimed him yet.

[Fragile Dreams]

He's yours :D

[Unishifter]

All right, seats are filling up fast, so I should pick someone already! I'll take Poseidon if he's still free.

[Risa]

I'd be interested in playing Artemis, if she's still open.

[ShamshielDF]

I'll take Sekhmet (though I'd love to trade her out for Eris ^_^ )

[Fragile Dreams]

I added you all, Also swapped Shekmet for Eris, but due to her chaotic state i placed her on the evil ones. I hope you don't mind.

[Doomsday]

Considering Hades, Anubis, or perhaps Rindr if you need any more Female gods.

[Fragile Dreams]

Anubis and Rindr are the current free ones, since i'm still waiting for the other player to respond about Hades.

[Doomsday]

Doing a quick count of all who are already listed in OP it's 4-8 Male-Female so I'll give Anubis a shot. I've always found Lord of the Underworld, Keeper of the Dead appealing :)

[Fragile Dreams]

You and me both!! :D He's an awesome God.

[Fragile Dreams]

OOC and Character Descriptions threads is up. Feel free to smack your opponents in there while people are still coming.

[kckolbe]

I'm talking with a player right now that expressed interest for Hades earlier. If things don't turn out well, i will PM you. Do you know anything about Hades and Greek Mythology?

Greek mythology is the only one I really know well (though I did read a bit of Norse, not enough to play one).  I have read the major myths involving Hades (Persephone, Orpheus), and am ready for a pet Cerberus ~grins~

[Fragile Dreams]

Well i haven't got any answer from the player and since you asked first you can have Hades. Good idea with the Cerberus.

[kckolbe]

   Woohoo!  I would like to remind all visitors that he enjoys music and honeycakes (bring three of them)

[ShamshielDF]

I'm fine with Eris landing in the evil gods section.  She wasn't precisely the most celebrated goddess of the pantheon, just prone to playing on both sides of the fence when it suited her.

[Fragile Dreams]

Exactly my point. And either you choose to help on side or the other is going to be fine by me, after all, that's what she do best.

[Fragile Dreams]

Re-opening Loki.

[Fragile Dreams]

Re-opening Athena.

[Fragile Dreams]

Starting the game with the deities we have now. Whoever wants to join feel free to express interest here or send me a PM.

[Krule]

I might be interested in doing Odin, Ra or Thor, whichever would be easiest.. I'd consider Osiris, but a castrated deity doesn't appeal to much.

[Fragile Dreams]

Well, take your pick! ^^

[Fragile Dreams]

If Osiris doesn't appeal you much, we can always swap him with Horus.

[Krule]

I'm not sure I could do Odin justice, he's very powerful, a god of life and death, destiny and magic, he's also almost as manipulative as loki, and almost as powerful as Zeus.

Horus or Thor would likly be better

[Fragile Dreams]

I swapped Osiris with Horus, for the castration reason you mentioned. So either Thor or Horus, is really fine by me.

[Krule]

Hmm.. I think Horus then, as much as I like Thor, he's too easily manipulated, Horus is not nearly so easy to manipulate

[Fragile Dreams]

Great, adding you up then. Feel free to post in the links i said above. ^^
Welcome to the Game.

[Fragile Dreams]

Loki recruited.

[Fragile Dreams]

After a quick battle, Hecate subdued Freyja's mind and took her under her command. The teams have changed now, with Freyja joining the Evil ones and the Norse pantheon loosing a strong goddess.

[Fragile Dreams]

*Sighs* re-opening Tyr.

[Transgirlenstein]

I would love to play Dionysus but since he isn't a choice..I wouldn't mind Athena

[Fragile Dreams]

If you want we can change Poseidon with Dionysus. It's not mandatory to have someone from the list, as long there is a good number between female and male deities from each pantheon.

[Transgirlenstein]

If its male deities you want, Dionysus isn't known as the most masculine guy.  I guess it depends on which one you want more: Athena or Dionysus

[Fragile Dreams]

It's not really what I like. I just want people to play whatever they want. But since Athena was the goddess of tactical warfare i prefer keeping her in the play. Poseidon on the other hand has some boundaries that make him difficult to play.

[Transgirlenstein]

Hm I think I'll play Athena for you.  She will be more use then Dionysus in this game

[Fragile Dreams]

Okay, Athena it is. I hope you'll enjoy it. ^_^

[Transgirlenstein]

I will :)

[Tevan]

I'll rock out Poseidon. He was always one of my favorites

[Fragile Dreams]

Great, welcome aboard. Feel free to check the links i posted earlier, to the OOC thread and the character description thread. Although i must tell you that in this game Poseidon is one of the most difficult deities to play, due to his realm.

[Tevan]

He doesn't need water to be effective, he is still the earth shaker after all

[Fragile Dreams]

Good point. And i'm glad to see that someone knows that to use it. Once again, welcome aboard.

[kckolbe]

Poseidon was also god of horses.

[Fragile Dreams]

Yes he was. He was offering great steeds to the kings that chose him as the protector of their cities. Also, some in Poseidon's lineage became well known druids in mythology.

[Tevan]

He also was known to control the winds some what its how he made the horrible storms over seas when pissed off. He could also cause springs and such to spring from the ground,

[Fragile Dreams]

Actualy the air domain was in Zeus' powers. Though there are many inaccuracies because some say that was Poseidon that was creating those winds, others say that it was Zeus and some say that it was Aelus that was controling the four winds. But winds were mostly on Zeus' hands, controling the air, clouds and thunder as well the weather.

[Tevan]

*nods* thats why i just said some control lol, but you are very right it was much more Zues's area

[The Golden Touch]

Are you talking Kali-Ma?  The Black Goddess?

-Ponders-

[Fragile Dreams]

Talking about Kali, goddess of Creation and Destruction. I'm not sure if she's the same with the one you're talking about since i'm not that familiar with that mythology. *Just finished watching Sinbad.*

[The Golden Touch]

www.goddess-kali-ma.com

They are the same.  -shrugs-

[Fragile Dreams]

Why the shrug? :/

[Fragile Dreams]

After a teaming with Hecate's minion, Freyja captured the Greek Goddess of wisdom, Athena. Athena now as the new minion of Hecate, joins the Evil side and support her mistress.

[The Golden Touch]

-Laughs-

People can have minions?!  ^ ^  Nice.

[Fragile Dreams]

Well, that's what happen in the game, since Hecate possessed their minds. And it wasn't easy. :P

[The Golden Touch]

I imagine not. ^ ^ 

[Myrleena]

*coughs* >_>

[Black Rabbit]

I would be very interested to take on Odin.

[Fragile Dreams]

Woohoo, at last an Odin. Welcome aboard. :)

[Kanrya]

I think playing Anubis would be fun

[Fragile Dreams]

Done. Welcome aboard as well. ^_^
