Interest Check : Star Destroyer Pantheon (Gods) Role Play
Posted: 2011-01-15 03:00pm
So. . . STGOD. . . gave me the obvious idea of trying to host an actual "God" (As in Deity) role play. All participants would put themselves in the role as deities with specific powers related to a topic of their choosing in character creation. Some overlap of portfolios (the topics I mentioned earlier) are permissable. For instance, Ares was a god of war, just like Athena. There would be different ways of raising the power of these player controlled gods. For example, you could take animal/human sacrifice, worship, or even soul theft, life force feeding/etcetera, to slowly grow in your personal powers. You could even create something more akin to a titan, demon or perhaps dragon than an anthropomorphic god, instead.
Power Levels of the Deities: Let's discuss this a little. I really want us to be the very pinnacle of power. . . and yet I want us to grow. Therefore I've given a little thought into what constitutes "powerful" for us. Let's say that Mr. Weiner, a Minor god, is the god of hotdogs. He would have a Power Level of 0, as opposed to non-immortal mundane people, who have no Power Level whatsoever. By comparison, Hercules, an ascended god, would have a Power Level of 6. Each Power Level makes Hercules twice as powerful as before. Therefore, Hercules is as powerful as 64 Mr. Weiners. Zeus, the most powerful of the "mundane" deities, has a Power Level of 11. The Power Levels may extend even further beyond Zeus'es, however, it should be noted that inbetween Power Levels, there is a half way point, which is called a Threshold. Thresholds distinguish how powerful deities are with the same Power Level. For instant, someone who has reached 75% of Power Level 4 is more powerful than a god who has just reached Power Level 3.
Here is a list of Portfolios for players to choose from (Though portfolios are not limited to these)=
(Any specific school of magic. You cannot choose "magic" because that's too broad of a portfolio)
Love
Healing
Beauty
Fire
Earth
Wind
Water
Animals
Plants
Knowledge (As in logic, reason, sophistication, education, learning and study)
Wisdom (Perhaps cunning, foreknowledge, common sense, empathy, and discipline)
War
Lightning
Character Creation:
Name:
God of: (There are three points to be used in order to put into Portfolios. If you want three Portfolios, for example, you must buy them with 1 point each. If you want one, then you'd put all three points into one Portfolio to make yourself even stronger with that portfolio)
History: (Life before godhood)
Appearance:
It should be noted that the role play takes place during a time that interested players voted from.
Would you choose creating a world of your own, and thus start in Primeval times, with Cavemen and dinosaurs?
What starting in the Bronze Age?
The Iron Age?
Hell, any age from Prehistoric Ages to futuristic Ages? (I'm hoping we would choose 2060-2200 myself.)
