Gods
-
Due to the number of Gods, this character type is banned for the moment.
Considering the impact god characters have on our setting, we require that you must spend at least 3 weeks on an active adventurer before you apply for a god character.
Dungeon RP revolves around the mythological aspect of these divine figures. This RP is not in any way a commentary on religions. Please do not join if you take offense to these religious references.
- God characters must be based on a mythology that exists in the real world, research them well!
- Accepted: Classical mythologies: Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and other Asian mythologies
- Not Accepted: Roman mythology, demi-gods, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other modern religions.
- While in the mortal world, gods look like one of the available Races. While their power is sealed, they are no stronger than a mortal.
- Gods are forbidden to display their true form.
- Gods who are married (cannonically or no) may run a familia together, but the familia is named after only one of them. Outside of marriage, these co-led familia do not exist.
- God players who go inactive for an extended amount of time (2+ weeks) without a notice will lose the right to play their god.
- Your adventurer character cannot be in your god character's familia.
- Only 1 god per player, unless they are a DM. Gods are not DM, these 2 roles do not relate with one another..
- All of a god's mythological events are presumed to have taken place. If there is a discrepancy, pick a story and stick with it; if it involves another god, reach an agreement together.
- Gods do not have omnipotent knowledge of one another, they only know things that happened to them or if someone told them. This also applies to gods who are from different mythologies as well.
Hi... it's Eris... I've been sent to train you. Firstly, don't use your divine power unless you are about to die, okay? If you get caught, you will be banished from the mortal realm.
Secondly, never enter the Dungeon... It will spawn black monsters and that will eat Adventurers... not that I mind seeing that or anything...
And finally, you can't fight other gods directly... The only way to humili-fight them is through War Games... Got it? Good... I am going to take a nap now...Role-playing a godAs mentioned, role-playing as a god differs greatly from that of an Adventurer. gods don't go on monster-slaying adventures. They do, however, enjoy a host of plot-centric role-plays and have huge impacts on the official storyline.
In-character, the more diligent gods use their talents to set up businesses and grow their familia while others find amusement in working alongside mortals. In general, gods are whimsical and easily bored so they often require a lot of entertainment. As such, there are gods who just waste their time drowning in earthly pleasure and neglect their familia.
If you can handle RP'ing as multiple characters, gods make great side characters. You may play as a DM to Adventurers on your god account. Any reward you earn you get to keep. You also earn extra rewards for DM'ing. More info to come.
Denatus Meets | Familia Management | War Games | Status Maintenance Denatus MeetsAll gods are required to attend a Denatus Meet at the Hall of gods (Upper Quarters in Orario City) once every three months to: - Maintain relationships between the gods
- Have discussions and title Adventurers who recently leveled up
- Maintain and upkeep War Games
- Maintain Deitic rules
- Discuss relevant global issues
Managing your familiaManaging a familia depends entirely on your ambition and personality as a god. The majority of the gods prefer a large and successful familia, which means having a successful family-run business and a powerful dungeoneering corp. Others, however, prefer a smaller headcount and specializes in specific niches such as restauranteering, mailing services, military, etc.
OOCly, you may achieve your goal by spending both GP and AP. Start by purchasing properties and work your way up from there. As of the current version (1.0), Dungeon RP does not have a fleshed out business system. Check back at a later time.
Optionally, you may use your resources to contract other familia to go on quests for you, be it monster-slaying or material-retrieval. This will improve the economy and will help your familia grow.
War GamesWhenever a clash of interests happens between the gods, they may only be resolved through a War Game. In a War Game, they use their familia to express their will, in other word, it's a proxy war.
War Games are established and maintained by the Denatus. Through it, the clashing gods decide on the rules and the victory and/or defeat conditions. Essentially, the loser must obey the request of the victor without question. Said request may or may not be explicitly stated before the War Game.
War Games may be anything that is competitive: one-on-one combat, sieges, dungeoneering, athletic contest, social event, etc.
Status MaintenanceWhen you take a mortal into your familia, you grant them the gift of Falna, a blessed marking that gives them RPG-like status (Strength, Vitality, Dexterity, Agility, Magic). Though Falna, you can read their stats and help them grow.
During the initial ceremony, you may choose to seal the marking with blood so that it is not visible outside of the status maintenance ritual. If not, the marking will be visible on their back like a tattoo.
Progress:
All increments of stats are recorded by the adventurer’s Falna but do not apply until you perform a status maintenance ritual. This is where you unseal the Falna marking using a drop of your blood. Once you have analyzed and administered the changes, they will have their newly-gained status.
OOC:
When a player joins your familia, you will have to go into their application and make a status post like the pinned example in <a href="http://dungeonrp.com/threads/example-application-mortals.20/#post-39" target="_blank">this thread</a>. This is how you will keep track of their status. In order to reduce your workload, we require that your familia members only request a status maintenance ritual when they have 50+ ability points to spend. Have them send you their AP either before or after you change their stats.
