Trials of the God Born (Interest Thread only, hopefully for now.)

[Vergil1989]

Gods, immortal beings responsible for taking the chaos of the universe, and shaping it into the worlds and planes of the multiverse we know today, have always ruled from afar in a council of 'elders', overseeing their creations but otherwise remaining distant, if caring, concerned observers.  They had created countless worlds, races, and wonders across them all, yet of all of their creations, humanity was the only one that gave them reason to pause.  To wonder if they had made a mistake because of their propensity for violence, bigotry, and worse.  They became so upset and worried that they would destroy the world they had worked so hard to create, that it was decided that they'd need to be erased from existence.  But one of the gods thought they simply needed a more direct and gentle influence in their relatively short lives.  Intrigued, the other cosmic beings listened to the 'youngest' of their order as he laid out his proposal, suggesting that one of them go down to this world in question, and become the living embodiment of a god among them.  Despite knowing full well there would be some, even with proof of such divinity among them, that would do all in their power to destroy him, to subvert and corrupt his attempts to be a force for good and gentle change for the better, the other gods were convinced to give their youngest a chance to steer humanity towards a better path than the one they seemed so intent to follow by giving into their harsher, darker natures.  An agreement was eventually reached, rules were set down, and the young god was allowed to leave their otherworldly home to be 'reborn' into a mortal, yet cosmic being the likes humanity and the other mortal races had never seen before.

Found by a compassionate, young human woman who had just set out from her home, the newly 'born' god that had fallen from the skies was put into the woman's pack and carried away.  She learned much from him as they came upon a village, that would later become a grand, sprawling city, where he was allowed to carve out a home beneath their feet.  From there, he grew, he grew to such a size that he carved out a massive network of tunnels, caverns, and more so that his miles of tentacles could come up from any point among those that worshiped him and the religion he had begun with his human companion and consort.  And it was through her that the first of the now legendary god born, were given life.  Immortal protectors, guardians of the city he now resided beneath, the immortal god that had chosen to become a being of flesh watched as their children grew to become unstoppable warriors, mages, sorcerers, and more, all of them driven to protect that which he and his first high priestess had created.  Militaristic, disciplined, and powerful beyond almost all imagining, few threats could stop them, and for those adversaries that proved too much even for their combined might, their tentacled god was there to provide his own power and might to the defense of the world he had given up so much to see stave off the divine judgment of his peers.  Demon Lords from the Nine Hells and the Abyss both were left shattered, forced to return to their home planes in battered, bloodied pieces, dragons of an evil nature often found themselves hung up and mounted in the Hall of Heroes, and entire conquering armies have been shattered like so much glass.  Whatever the threat, one thing is known for certain, the god born will always be fabled heroes and immortal guardians, favorites of the people and protectors of the just and the innocent, and absolute nightmares on the battlefield against those who would dare to ravage their world.

Pertinent details

1:  God born are immortal, but all of them are born sterile.  Futa or female, it doesn't matter, nothing can impregnate or be impregnated by a god born.
2:  God born aren't invincible.  While rare, there are those that have fallen and died throughout the long centuries that they've been alive, either through sheer misfortune or they were defeated in battle.
3:  The god born are only born through the union of the god's chosen high priestess and himself.  While he will not fail to successfully impregnate his high priestess, the normal length of time for a standard pregnancy is still required, and it takes as many years for a newborn to mature, as it would for whatever race they were born from.  (Humans are about eighteen before they reach maturity, elves are about a century, etc etc)
4:  God born are either female, or futa/herms, but never male.  In addition, they are more prone to sexual acts, often engaging in passionate, pleasure filled orgies before they go out into the world to stop monstrous threats, breaking apart criminal organizations, and so on upon the order of the high priestess and the war matron, with their god's blessing guiding their arms.  Sometimes they simply take each other before such missions, all too happy to invite their high priestess in such cases, but many enjoy the attention of their tentacled 'father' and living god.  Whatever the case, everyone knows well that the god born are powerful warriors, with the lascivious demeanor of nymphomaniacs.
5:  There is only one high priestess, just as there is only one 'god' that she serves.  Even so, he is not a jealous deity, and he cares not for what race a person is.  He only cares that they are kind, compassionate individuals at their core, even if they are militant against those that would threaten the city and those that reside within.  Because the world has grown used and usually accepts help from the god born and thus, the city they call home, their 'children' are often a welcome sight against those things that would otherwise run roughshod across the world's surface, or below it.
6:  The high priestess is given an extended life span through their god's power, and the ability to telepathically speak with the entity wherever they are, but once they feel their time is ending, she and the guardian will seek out a replacement.  Once one is chosen, the old high priestess will often pass away in her sleep that very same night.  It is not unheard of for the funeral procession that takes place to last for several hours, easy, such is often the love and generosity they are known for towards those they have protected for so long that those they have affected are all too happy to honor and immortalize her in their own small way.

City of Ivalice.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

The city of Ivalice, where countless individuals across the racial spectrum, (elves, tieflings, aasimar, humans, etc), reside.  Ivalice is a beautiful, sprawling city with countless wonders and sights to behold for even the most jaded traveler.  The arcane academies are rumored to be the best in the world, the historical archives and museums housing artifacts from the ancient past are maintained with care and are often full of eager children and old explorers alike, and the number of restaurants, bathhouses, brothels, top class inns, and more promises excitement and more for everyone.  Simply put, no matter your tastes, there is something to do for everyone.  The dozens of prayer wells, despite being devoid of water, are often the first stop for many of the city's more faithful residents.  It's not unheard of for the guardian deity to poke a tentacle out on occasion, either to scare off would be bullies of the young, or to simply bring a too curious child back out of the darkness if they should fall into one such well.

Guardian Diety's central temple

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

The high priestess resides here once she has been chosen, often times called to serve through the previous high priestess who hears their god's words through their telepathic bond.  On occasion, the god will speak a promising priestess's name himself, but whatever the case, those that are brought into the fold are blessed with an extended life and all of the authority with all of the resources that come with her station.  Control of the god born and the armies at Ivalice's command are but one part of their office.  They are ambassadors to the world, mothers of the god born, teachers of the young, and protectors and voices for those that have no one else to turn to.  And of course, they often find themselves willing participants of the sexual escapades between the god born themselves.  When they aren't otherwise 'busy', they spend time with the god himself, who also has his own needs and desires, but despite what some believe, he has never taken someone against their will, and he is a very attentive and caring lover.  The temple itself houses a number of shrine maidens, caretakers, and teachers that maintain the temple grounds themselves, but also care for the homeless, the orphaned, and in-firmed with the generous donations and offerings that are brought to them.

Hall of Heroes and Training Academy grounds

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

The god born call the Hall of Heroes their home, when they aren't otherwise....engaged, either on missions around the world, or with their fellows in arms.  Whatever the case, the Hall of Heroes is both living space for the god born, and training grounds for up and coming warriors of their supernaturally gifted prowess and might.  While there are exceptionally gifted warriors that can stand toe to toe against them, the god born aren't the best on the merits of their births alone.  They're the bests because they've been disciplined and forged into instruments of war, diplomacy, and more.  Still, they are allowed a certain level of....latitude, given their unique physiologies and the needs that come with them, but overall, they are powerful, wise from the decades, and unrelenting against those that would threaten their world.  It's not uncommon to hear the sounds of steel clashing against steel, of training dummies being beaten into submission, and the slap of flesh against flesh as full contact sparring and....'sparring', takes place throughout the large stone structure.  Throughout the long halls and large, stone chambers, many artifacts and wall encompassing murals tell their stories through various historical documents, and at times grisly trophies from the enemies they've slain.

Source material between myself and Mannik.  Feel free to ogle to your heart's content.  ;D  For now, this is merely an interest thread, and while I'm hoping to get a couple of Co-GMs to help run this little insanity, I hope this will become a Big Group Game given enough time and effort.  This WON'T be a sand box, despite what it might appear to the contrary, at least, there will be somewhat mandatory Events and story relevant plots thrown at you guys on occasion.  Beyond that though, I'm interested in character development and the like over pages of endless smut.  Still, here's hoping you guys enjoy this idea that Mannik and myself have brought to life.  See ya!

-----------------------

Here's an example of the kind of character I'm hoping for if you guys want to start thinking up ideas while we wait for hopefully more people to pop up.  This is actually one of the god born myself and Mannik have running around in our solo story.  Enjoy!

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name:  Vex
Gender:  Female
Age:  610
Sexuality:  Bisexual with a preference for her futa/herm 'sisters' as well as the guardian diety's tentacles, naturally.
Race:  Half drow (dark elf)
God born:  Yes
Class:  Ranger
Preferred Weapon:  A seemingly mundane long bow made from the bark of a black ash tree.  No one knows for sure if her bow is enchanted or if it's just her power alone that makes her so dangerous, but no one's willing to try her bow for themselves to find out for sure.  (It's not but she isn't about to tell people that.)
Power:  Shadowstep:  Vex can rip open shadowy holes in reality, which she can fire her arrows into to make them appear in another place she can see at virtually any angle she so desires.  Her arrows lose none of their momentum, allowing them to strike with the same speed and force, which allows her to maintain her concealment.  When push comes to shove, she can use her own portals to re-position herself, or to allow her to gracefully dodge about the battlefield, becoming a dizzying blur of perfectly placed shots that burn right through anything they're fired upon.  Even the hardiest of foes find themselves easily dispatched as their very souls are shattered under her darkness wreathed arrows, piles of ash and their empty armors and weapons falling to the ground the only trace of their passing.
Weakness:  While her Shadowstep makes her quite formidable, not counting the fact she's had centuries to master her ranger craft, allowing her to hunt and track across nearly any environment she has experience with, Vex cannot use her power without consequence.  It wears her out quite quickly, and since she has to be covered almost completely in shadow just to even initiate it, she's severely limited when in daylight.  Not only that, but she has to be able to see where it is she wants to either fire her arrows or to 'jump' from point to point, and any momentum she has behind her or her shots means she cannot stop once she steps through a portal, making fights on mountainous terrain or areas covered in ice quite dangerous for her.
Appearance:  Dark, crimson, artfully tousled locks falls across her back and her front in uneven but beautiful waves.  Pale, crimson eyes peer out from her ageless, flawlessly pale gray skinned face with a pair of slightly rounded but still elongated elven ears.  While she prefers to dress in simple traveling leathers, often in dark greens, blacks, and browns from the neck down so as to better blend into the background of the forests and the like where she often finds herself, Vex is nearly at home in the cities of the world as anywhere.  Tall and slender as a willow wand, Vex is agile and quick footed as any elf, and since she was born a half elf from her half elven mother when she was made the next high priestess centuries ago, her light sensitive eyes aren't quite as effected by light than her full blooded drow counterparts.
Personality:  Mischievous, playful, compassionate, yet ruthless and without mercy against the wicked and unjust, Vex is dedicated to the cause of protecting the people of her world with her every breath.  She has no qualms about killing those that have purposely set about preying upon the weak, regardless of where they originally came from, or what they are for that matter.  As far as the common man and woman are concerned though, she tries not to let their opinions about her nature, or the fact her mother was a 'bastard' half breed herself, but upon those days that the years of her immortality catch up with her and she feels the weight of her impending years press upon her, coupled by the fact she's always been 'alone', despite the fact many of her fellow god born love and treasure her presence, Vex often seeks solitude in the deep woods of the northern forests, far from Ivalice's walls.  Most days though, she's all too happy to play harmless pranks on her fellow god born, and for those high priestesses she's seen come and go since her mother's reign, depending on their general personalities, even they might not be exempt from her playful nature.  As for her sexual appetites, those to have led Vex to warming more than a few beds with gusto, but she is normally a sensual lover, one that prefers to attend to her partner's needs first before indulging in her own.
Background:  One of the three that slayed Ironscythe, formerly a black, acid spitting ancient dragon that had terrorized the eastern kingdoms for decades until it made the mistake of trying to take Ivalice into its domain, Vex stood against the winged nightmare, her unerring accuracy one of the keys to its downfall as she effortlessly blinded the monster, ensuring its destruction in the fight that unfolded afterwards.  It was simply the start of her legend, which can still be found on the wall length murals within the Hall of Heroes, the skeletal remains of the black dragon on prominent display, suspended from the ceiling to this very day.  Before she was the legendary ranger she is today however, Vex was born to a half elf high priestess by the name of Zokur.  Her mother's rule, alongside the tentacled beast deity of a 'father', wasn't the best Ivalice and the world had ever seen, but it was far from bad either.  Part of the problem stemmed from the simple fact her mother was dark elven at all, but Vex had a relatively good childhood among her fellow god born.  Those that were her senior, often by many centuries, were happy to teach her what they could, while those that were either her age or younger looked up to Vex and the other, older members of their small but elite order.  But most important of all, Vex learned early on that their shared 'father', for lack of a better word to describe the guardian deity that had given her and her 'sisters' life, was a very kind and compassionate figure throughout her life.  While only the high priestess could ever, truly communicate with the being that called the underground expanses home, Vex learned early on that he cared immensely for all of his progeny, and often was the time she curled up on his massive bulk when she was still a child, innocent and in need of at least one if not both of her parents so close at hand.  A habit that many of the god born could attest to since even the oldest among them still, on occasion, made it a point to make their beds on top of the deity's warm flesh....when they weren't otherwise engaged with the tentacled beast.  But despite what some, misinformed people would suggest or outright yell to the contrary, their father wasn't in the habit of forcing himself upon anyone, and neither did he engage in his desires when one of his still too young children were around to see such a thing unfold.  He preferred to protect their innocence for as long as possible, even though many willingly trained to become deadly warriors without equal.

Whatever the case, Vex grew to be a strong and capable woman, but the weight of the years that passed caught up with her when her mother, already considered old by elven standards, finally passed away even though the guardian had extended her life considerably.  Even his power has limits however, and Zukor, when she deemed it was time for her to go on to the next plane of existence, began to seek out her replacement.  The fact her lungs were failing her along with her heart only spurred her decision onward, and Vex was there to help her to the pit when the day came for her to close her eyes for good.  After she recovered from the loss, Vex's demeanor changed.  She became quieter, less prone to laughter, and she spent far more time out in the wild places of the world, seeking the peaceful solitude of the forests and plains over the crowds of the city or the sympathetic words and gestures that always seemed to follow her around.  It took many decades for her to return to any semblance of her former self, but she still chooses to remain out in the woods more than some would consider safe or wise.  And when times get too tough for her to handle, she'll isolate herself for weeks at a time once the trouble blows over.  Still, even now, she does what she can for the youngest of the god born, just as was done for her when she was such a young girl herself, while offering what aid she can to those she calls 'sister' and friend.  Even though she was an only child, despite many attempts by both her mother and 'father' to conceive more god born between them, Vex considers most of her fellow god born as her family, and she would die to protect them and Ivalice itself if that's what it took to see them safe and whole.

IC kinks/preferences:  Hunting, reading, bardic performances (especially if it's from one of her god born 'sisters), small intimate gatherings, playful partners, harmless pranks, walking through the woods and plains around the city.
Sensory play, light to medium BDSM, tentacles, blind folds, snuggles, love bites, and orgies.  (See O/O page for the rest.)
IC offs/dislikes:  Fish, too much hair, evil in general with a particularly strong dislike against slavers, stupidity, morbidly obese individuals, lazy or undisciplined people, and wasting good food/drink.
Verbal/physical abuse, bathroom, incest (not counting her 'father' and her sisters since she isn't technically related to any of them), heavy BDSM, collars.  (See O/O page for the rest)

Curiosity piqued; I see humans, tieflings, elves... are we just looking at fantasy grab-bad races and such here?

[Vergil1989]

No aliens or evil demons/monsters/etc, but anything else such as good aligned orcs, githyanki, githzarai, or anything else is more than welcome.  My only requirement is that they be humanoid, no furries or anthros.  Werecreatures that are able to go back and forth between forms are acceptable, as are half elves, drow, or anything else you guys want to throw my way.  ;D

God born are only female or futa/herm, but as long as you come up with a good background, I'd accept most anything as far as they're concerned.  NORMAL people are also acceptable of course, but if you plan to overpower your god born counterparts in whatever way you and your partner agree upon, be sure to back it up in your background information with detailed accomplishments or reasons as to why you're such a worthy foe.  I don't see a lot of PC vs PC hostilities taking place here since everyone should be more or less on the same side, but playful sparring and the like is acceptable and even encouraged.  ;D  Shrine maidens, servants for the high priestess, stuff like that are also more than acceptable but they won't be the focus, but there will only be ONE high priestess, and she won't be a first come, first serve.  She's too important to the city and the people, commanding the god born and Ivalice's armies, so her role will be reserved for those that stand out unfortunately, provided she doesn't end up with one of my GMs or something, we'll see.  The guardian deity will be controlled by either myself or one of my Co-GMs, provided I get a couple lol, but everyone else is free to choose their roles and classes and all that other stuff.  ;D

What system would we be playing with? ;)

Mmm high priestess ~ <3

[Vergil1989]

I hadn't planned on a system actually.  So long as everyone's fair and respectful to each other, I don't see a reason to limit folk in such a fashion.  That and I'm not nearly confident enough to try and run a system anyway, BUT if someone wanted to do so, I'd not be against it by any means.  ;D

But it could be fun! xD

[Vergil1989]

I DID say I wouldn't be against the idea, but I don't know what system would work, or if anyone would even be willing to run a system for something like this.  So until and IF someone offers to do so, this'll be freeform.  I don't doubt it would be fun with the right system and a good enough DM, but I'd rather not deal with the headache myself lol.

[Vergil1989]

I added an example character profile for you guys curious as to what to expect for the various god born.  I'm hoping to get at least six, five more tops before making an actual character sheet for you guys and opening this up for recruitment.  For now, take care guys!
