Where YOU create the world!
It is the Beginning. Time has been born and now flows through the expanding Universe. Creation is the domain of the Gods, and of the Gods only; no other things exist outside the Celestial Realm. All Gods and Goddesses sing praise to the one who made them, He Who Is All, He Who Is Without Time.
He gathers the Gods and Goddesses now and bids them to peer into the lightless Void outside the Celestial Realm. He bids them to shape a world, a sphere containing Things—Abstracts, Elements, Life, and Sentience. All Gods and Goddesses must heed the call; all must have a hand in shaping the new World that is to come.
Welcome! In this RP, YOU will be creating the World! Here’s how things will go:
- All players who join must submit a Celestial (God) character and a Terrestrial (Mortal) character (so a minimum of two characters).
- You won’t be using your Terrestrial at first.
- The RP begins with you as a God or Goddess of whatever Domain you wish, and you must work with your fellow Celestials to shape and create a World.
- After the World has been born and shaped, and filled with things like plant life, animal life, and sentient life, we’ll fast-forward a couple thousand years, at which point you may start playing your Terrestrial character. And yes, you can continue to play your Celestial character as well!
- Remember, it’s okay for even Gods to squabble amongst themselves and disagree as to how the World should be made, for as all of us who have read Greek mythology know, even Gods can be imperfect. however, if actual player-to-player arguments arise, I will ask that the argument be taken to PM's.
- Terrestrial characters don’t exactly have to be “mortal.” You can have a Terrestrial character of a race more long-lived than a human. (Races that our Gods and Goddess MUST create, mind you!) “Terrestrial” just refers to characters that are “on the ground.”
- After we enter the “Terrestrial” stage of roleplay, you’re welcome to create and play more than one Terrestrial character. Just be sure to submit the character’s profile to me so I can add it to the front page. Waiting for my approval on these secondary characters is not necessary to begin posting with them.
- I am the Supreme God of this role play thread. I reserve the right to add more rules, deny profile applications, or kick drama starters at any time.
- PM me all profile applications. Use the words “Celestial,” “Terrestrial,” or both somewhere in your PM title to let me know you’ve read these rules.
- The front page is updated frequently. Please check it frequently, especially the second post (Domain List/Bestiary).
- No God-modding. "God-modding" is a term that refers to the practice of controlling someone else's character, or acting on someone else's character without giving them a chance to respond, a chance to accept or deny your character's influence. This term has nothing to do with actual godhood. Just because your character is a God does NOT give them the right to control another player's character.
Please send your character applications through PM
Also guys, remember the golden rule: The RP doesn't start until I say it does. So, no posting until we have enough domains taken. (And you CAN run more than one celestial, guys)
Please note that you do not have to include a massive character profile like I did. All you really need is basic information. Besides, you can always have me update it later.
The OOC thread for this RP can be found here. Please go there to post any kind of out of character comments, ideas, suggestions, etc., instead of cluttering up posts in this thread.
