@Pen: It's not my place to say but I think there is enough difference between you two to allow you co-exist.
@Topheh: I normally stick to Goody two shoes characters when roleplaying and I'm kinda doing the same thing here.
However, under the right conditions I'd allow my god to die and continue playing as a new god whose concept I have thought out who is a lot more villainous.

hehe burn! anyways! There are always room for players! And just because a domain has been "claimed" doesn't mean that there cant be more than one of. I would say let the concepts be different though. I think the concepts are different enough yet similar that they wont clash, but work well, and it will make my job just that more fun! As for who all gets in first, second, w/e...... well it really depends on how many people we have signed up by game start and relavence. I believe that if we have a lot of people signed up when we start, then we will take X number of players and those are the first ascended. After that it is a matter of time. If we don't have a lot of players, well......we'll see!  and James: you don't need to die to become evil! You just need the right motivations to become evil! (like cookies!) By the way I highly believe that cake and cookies are fundemental building blocks of the universe!

Well, that settles it then. New name for this iteration will be 'Candyland' God Name: Bura. Greater Domain: Sugar Moderate Domain: NA
Lesser Domain: NA Appearance: Typically an amorphous storm of snow-white sugar, Bura is capable of temporarially carmalizing herself into a humanoid shape when the need demands. Is constantly trying to pass off cookies to other Gods. One of her titles is 'Mistress of Snickerdoodles', although the meaning of this is lost to the ages. Divine Symbol: A smiling, happy face. In case it wasn't abundantly clear...

I'm kidding. Although now I want to do a spoof LoC for a week or two just to have some fun.

I like it, Pen_Draggin.
I see it as our gods being opposites, (much the same way as fire and cold), but in terms of temperment, rather than in absolute elemental declaration. That is to say, Leaf is an embodiment of physical, primal life (growing, plants, etc.), while Sa is an embodiment of constructed abstractions, such as the aesthetics of beauty and promises that arise from life.
It's not as obvious dichotomy as life/death, but I think it has promise stemming from the opposite-ness all the same.

Raven, would you say Sa is chaotic neutral or good? I could see Leaf being lawful. Probably not lawful evil, but if people have ideas for an evil plant god, I would be happy to play around with the concept.

Definitely chaotic neutral. (That said, I'm totes up for talking about this more, but I am going to be without internet for a few days, so this is probably the last message you'll hear from me 'till Thursday).

I would be much more eager to start as an early god if I had a fire god to contrast me.
I didn't feel like Ice/Cold was fundamental enough for one of the first gods, but a god of fire would mean we are the opposite ends of Temparature, which is quite a fundamental aspect of nature.
Edit: On Second Thought (No disrespect here, nor am I slating anyone's concepts) a lot of the other current gods don't control Domains "fundamental" to existance.
I wouldn't consider Flowers/Promises, Travel/Survival and Orcs/Courage/Tactics central to existance, but thats just me. I was assuming that All starting gods would be something seen as a omnipotent forces such as death, life, justice ETC . But It's not my place to say when gods of certain domains arrive. If the first god to rise in this universe is the god of Candyfloss, so be it.
Well, I had been thinking about this as well. I was actually under the impression that we would be ascending in an already established world with other players who were already gods. But now I see we will be starting our own world.
I don't really have an interest in playing an elemental god or a god of something as broad and encompassing as "life" (as an example). I'm liking the idea of playing an orc god.
That said, I can see how he might spring up though. And regarding the god of cold or ice being around at the beginning, I can see that as well.
If we imagine the concept of "cold" as "without energy" or "with little energy", then we can imagine as cold being the first thing around before anything else exists (though with nothing around to feel it). The god of cold can have existed dormant perhaps, before anything else, when nothing was stirring in the universe, and then comes to life when things occur that can feel it and diminish it (sentience and energy/motion).
That's just an idea as to why a cold god might be one of the first gods.
Now, regarding Kuranath... I imagine that he springs up from the first conflict or the first instance where fear was felt. Before the first conflict, courage and tactics do not exist. But in the moment that fear is felt for the first time, or a battle breaks out, courage and tactics manifest. Kuranath is born out of that event, with the courage and mind for battle. Quite possibly, a sibling is born at the same time as well out of the fear that was felt and had to be overcome (but I leave that to someone else if they feel so inclined).
I would have typed more for Kuranath when I posted but I wasn't sure how much of the gods is determined before the game and how much evolves organically in game.

Khan, I figured you'd probably start out similarly... with the primary 'domains' of courage and tactics followed soon thereafter by the creation of one of the first races, the orcs... which would do courageous, tactical things (of course).

Question: I know we start out with three points specifically for Domains, but can we spend a couple more from the pool of seven points to acquire another domain or two? I'm wondering if Kuranath could have started as a god of war or something similar and then create the orcs as guardians in a new world/universe. (So in other words, acquire the War domain with the three points and then Courage/Tactics/Orc from the other seven points.) Sorry if I'm a little slow on the up-take  . EDIT: Also, I can see the difference between Strategy (a moderate domain) and Tactics (a lesser domain). But what distinction should I be making between Bravery (a moderate domain) and Courage (a lesser domain)? Thanks!
