Vhing - goddess of empathy To steal a certain moral code: Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.
Also Hugs. Cause Hugs are super powerful, and underestimated. Imagine if all of Cyrene and Eleusis walked into Mhaldor, weapons sheathed, and just started hugging anyone they saw. The Might get attacked and killed for it... But... Come on... So worth it.
David Gemel?
I would be Seftin, the Changer. God of class changes and impulsive decisions
I'm not sure what role I'd pick, but something that would let me do temporary stuff like make truenames hit rebounding, piety have 20 minute equilibrium, hands of the grave spawn miniature hands when they proc, soulspear bounce off of shield and do triple damage to the thrower, guards deciding to mutiny and attack people because they're underpaid and have to put up with too much stupid stuff, add a chacne for health to kill you instantly due to overdose, change shrugging syntax so serpents just start emoting shrug constantly in fights, let angels get confused and accidentally absolve their priest, make arrows that miss fly around the world so they actually hit the person who shot them, let people walk on the sea map for like 45 minutes (and randomly take it away), give denizens chances to critical people who hunt them, make bear cubs do a minimum of 20k damage, change Thoth to stop being nice when you die and start totally bitching you out, open up a venus flytrap area that would grief the instant-explorers, make Hashan turn into a robot and smash Ashtan when only like 4 people are logged in and see if everyone else believes them... man, the possibilities.
All hail @Tesha, the newest Goddess of Grief Code!
"Mummy, I'm hungry, but there's no one to eat! :C"
You really should do some research, Enrai. I would be Cowell, God of Criticism.
Research is for other people. My memory fills in the blanks with stories. A help file that says someone time travelled 'never to return' isn't evidence of death, whereas a giant beastie eating the seed of primal chaos is a much more solid (and satisfying) finale.
Roland, God of Acid. The order may only have precisely 303 members.
Hiroma tells you, "I just got to listen to someone complain about your deadly axekick being the bane of their existence." Archdragon Mizik Corten, Herald of Ruin says, "Man, that was a big axk." Hellrazor Cain de Soulis, Sartan's Hammer says, "Your [sic] a beast."
Hmm, if I would be serious and if I can keep my own name (otherwise make something up):
Vastus, the Ebonheart Tyrant
He would be an Evil God of Nature of kinds. Would need a dark forest as a home area of course. He could be either allied to Mhaldor or patron a House in Mhaldor, but one which allows forestals of course (Ebon Fist forestals please!). Otherwise perhaps a new city which would be a dark forestal community. I think an Evil forestal God could be a very cool thing.
Elyam (or some variation of the sort) And I would probably be a Patron of Honor, Truth, Memory, and History or something close to that. More neuteral aligned than Pentharian was because we saw it always hampered things when an evil character would want to play honorably. Probably Patron of Knights and Nobility. Just an interesting idea I would love to toy with and I think I might actually enjoy doing something like that. My realm would occupy those areas in which historical significance and Honor were at stake and would oppose those who try and twist history to their own ends.
(Blades of Valour): He just has that Synbios Swagger enough said. (Blades of Valour): Draekar says: "Synbios if sunbeams sparkle off that I'll kill you where you stand."
(Party) Halos says, "Disbar?" (Party) Draekar says, "You know here we have disbar." (Party) Draekar says, "And over there we have datbar."
Oh, for my own sanity, I shouldnt be handed this question. Time for some fun.
When
it comes to roles in a game, I adoooore the concept of Anti-, Heresy, Revolting,
and general wrongness (shush Babel ><). I love the idea of "public
enemy number 1".
My pick, and I've been backing this idea for years now, is:....(climactic pause)
Khalas, The Wanderer.
My
favorite of Gods (<3 you too Vastar ). The depth of this character
is astounding and so overlooked. I dont know how many times I would
drag my character to his beautiful statue/prison and just drop to my
knees in respect. He is the perfect example of "Behind the scenes" work,
looking for results rather than an audience. He isnt about big
demonstrations of power such as Agatheis, or wearing a pretty crown and
being the queen with servants like Lorielan. The fact is, his motives
were always so clouded, but frankly what he simply wanted is dominance
for the reason of the act itself. Why? Because that is simply who He is.
His realm (which by true definition was said he had no realm)
encompasses the very idea of a constant search for greatness and power.
He is the incarnation of Strive, Enhancement, Curiosity, and Want in any way possible.
My second choice:
Glacius
Yes I
know He isnt actually a God concept (anymore), but I still believe
there is much that can be salvaged from him. Before the story-coverups
that were made, he apparently was a custodian over Darkness or Night (If
you look into some really old achaean logs, you can see this in day
changes). I would recreate his story by also incorporating this old
piece of history into it. So, who is Glacius you ask? I would represent
him as the God of the Cold, the antithesis of Mithraea (RIP) or in this
case whomever fills that role now. He would be an ancient God, being
distrustful of the warm-blooded living and having animated his own form
of 'life', empowered by the Cold. This is where his tie to old Darkness
would be. Twilight, being the ever so enthusiast when it comes to
Undeath, yet never having full mastered it, would have sought the aide
of Glacius' powers of animation in order to preserve his unliving
beings. A pact now made, Glacius' cold touch spreads through the walking
corpses of the unliving, whom forever remain preserved by his frozen
power. Seeing life as an imperfect creation, he is distrustful of the
mortal races, and keeps to himself in the frozen tundras of the north.
Well, since there was/were a god of the ocean, a god of the sea and a goddess of lakes and rivers... I would go for Koi, the God of Small Ponds.
My power would mostly be centered around decorative ponds found in some housings or around cities, notably to increase or decrease the amount of algae in them or perhaps even the PH. The most important members of my order wouldn't even need a pond pump!
Other than that, I would send an automated weekly messages to everyone that offered corpses at my shrines: "Thank you for the offerings. If it was meant to be a defiling, please contact the supplicant service representative of My order for a full refund in the next thirty months. Your prayers are important to Me."
I'd be Twilight fo sho. First thing I'd do is purge my order (and maybe Hashan) and announce that the great cleansing has begun.
ETA: @Tecton, @Sarapis, you may consider this My application.
Didn't you already do that 3 times?
(Blades of Valour): He just has that Synbios Swagger enough said. (Blades of Valour): Draekar says: "Synbios if sunbeams sparkle off that I'll kill you where you stand."

...mother always said work to your strengths.
Do you mean... You would make the world round? ^:)^
Worry stones would be a tribute to Me.

Anyway, whatever, this thread is amusing.

Thus I do title him: Glacius, The Frozen Watcher.
Enjoy ^^.
