You are a god. Plain and simple. You've never had much contact with humanity for whatever reason, but you've heard little tidbits. After finishing your work for the day, you settle down to sleep and recharge your abilities, and...
And then you wake up. It wasn't enough sleep to recharge, you can tell. Your energy isn't as high as it should be, and after making a quick test, you deduce that your abilities are very weak. Not only that, but trees surround you and you smell... things! This wasn't your home. This wasn't where you fell asleep. You look down, noting the fact that you aren't clothed... but that isn't the most startling part.
You have a physical body. This is Earth. This...
IC:
And that, ladies and gentlemen is where we start.
Note: All of our characters are from different pantheons (unless you have two characters that are from the same pantheon), and we know literally nothing. You are limited to one active ability for now, more will unlock as we progress. All idle abilities are still active.
When the gods' mortal bodies die, their soul remains, trapped on the mortal plane and non-corporeal. Basically looks like a softball-sized light sphere. They have to wait three days (at the least) until their body repairs itself before they can pop back into it.
Gods' souls are unable to be drained of their power by anyone without them allowing it, and they're often really bright.
Gods' abilities are weaker when used on other gods.
Okay. Got it? good.
Rules:
No godmoding, powerplaying, autohitting, or minimoding.
No more than five characters.
No trans or homophobia.
No graphic nudity or obscenities.
No killing off characters without permission.
You must be literate! And by that, I mean you have to have a 1-2 paragraph average. With a firm grasp of the English language.
You have to be able to provide good interaction!
Hate the character, not the roleplayer.
NO SCRIPTERS.
This roleplay doesn't have much of a plot, but if you have ideas, do share!
If you read these, hide Firesky in your post somewhere.
