Inspiration:  Thorgal, C. J. Cherryh, Assorted SF art


”The magnificent temples with golden domes where the eternal fire burns for that is where Cxygu has come to reside among us and offer us heavenly blessings. The divinity herself as we experience a golden dawn.”

Inspired by a story arc I had read in Flemish comic Thorgal and art posted above along with some historical episodes.

Uabos is a primitive but a habitable world in far reaches of galaxy. A small moon to the larger planet of Gioria.  Its inhabitants still a rather primitive and predominantly agrarian society. The world is sparsely populated one but there iscivilization and they worship the cosmic entity known as Cxygu whose coming is prophesied and to be harbinger of golden era.

That is until a spaceship is forced to land on the same or crashes, carrying Aldan Baalas. Someone whose presence is seen as a miracle by the primitive society of Uabos. Soon enough, Aldan is able to see an opportunity here and being from a world of advanced tech ends up on a world primarily populated by relatively primitive civilization she becomes their deity Cxygu with a massive personality cult about her, often even performing ‘miracles’ which further assert her authority.

Maybe on her world she was a criminal who was being transported and something causes the ship to crash on this world or is an explorer who seizes an opportunity for well, a good life. I’m open to either of this or any other possibility. But in either, she’s a master manipulator who’s orchestrating it all rather craftily using the tech she has at her disposal and managing to maintain a firm grip on what becomes her private little empire/enclave enjoying a decadent life.

I’d like to explore the story from the moment Aldan ends up on the planet and how she cements her status all the while exploring all sorts of drama. But if prospective partners have preference for something else, I’ll be more than happy to discuss things.

As for who your character can be, you can either be GM for this or anyone you wish. I’m keeping it all rather open ended as there’s plenty of scope for world building here and coming up with all sorts of things together.

If this intrigues you, please drop me a line in a PM instead of posting here. Thank you for reading.

Mini Update. Here's few potential concepts for prospective partners to play. The timeline in which the story begins can be adjusted accordingly.

1. Another explorer who ends up on the planet in search of Aldan by the time Cxygu's authority is firmly established.
2. First 'convert' to Cxygu's cult.
3. Chosen ones aka perhaps her harem.
4. Perhaps leader of a group of skeptics who sets out to expose her.
5. A group of squabbling politicians on the planet among whom Cxygu acts as an arbiter through 'divine' intervention and drama that ensues.
