Geez, every time I turn around you come up with more great ideas xD So really the earth/sky could go either way since I see what you are saying. I really don't have anything else to add to this xD Sorry I like that idea I kind of imagine the people being 'hey, uh we kind of want to live and your fights are making living really hard'. Maybe some festivals reflect both the battle and the resolution, of course very different as this is mythology about worshiped deities. They may describe it as 'and they pair saw the destruction they had brought upon the land and wept terribly at the sight. With the darkness's tears, the injured were healed and with light's sobs came the promise to protect this land forever.' but really what happened is they were like 'well...people are dying. Our fight is stupid anyways. Let's just heal these guys, promise to not do this again and move on' Not much to add on battle styles, I like it I like implementing other types of relationships and stages of life. It's a good idea. Like not just marriage, but siblings could come later in life to darkness, there could be two people who are best friends who come. When children reach the age where the next deities are normally chosen (9 or 10 sounds like a good time frame) light could bless whatever they choose for their life.

When children reach the age where the next deities are normally chosen (9 or 10 sounds like a good time frame) light could bless whatever they choose for their life. well, you're quite creative with this stuff as well haha yeah, that's a fun thing to imagine the original deities being, like, massively powerful but relatively chill in terms of personality lol. but i know lots of religions have sort of fun festivals/dances/parades to commemorate events like that, so these people could definitely include some (dramatized) re-enactments if we wanna do that yeah! that's super cool-- darkness blessing family relationships and stuff is great. that could be who people pray/offer/whatever to if they want to give their kids like 'godparents' or something, while maybe the light god is called upon when it comes to rites of passage or,, something? idk idk so do you have a preference for which force your character is?

dw im not a fan of genetics thats chill. & the remaining shifters are capable of shifting, but it's really rare for a kid of pure shifters to still be a shifter & not a hybrid maybe mine could have been there for a year and welcomes the newcomer in? & perhaps they could be some sort of bird shifter & they're good at gathering information bc most ppl don't look twice at them so they don't really always work at the bookstore but they work for the group that runs the bookstore/lives in the bldg with the bookstore & we should prob also be ready to rp the rest of the chars in the bookstore just bc two chars gets strange w/o other interaction i love biology thoyeah yeah that's cool that would work! small animals are of course good at hiding, and flying animals can easily escape danger or carry messages quickly so if you want to have a bird shifter that would be grand. and ooo. yeah, maybe the bookstore has like apartments above the main shop? could be fun that's totally chill with me. i have several hybrid and shifter characters that could be background characters/cameos if we need them. however i've gotta make a decision about the main character i'll play... huh. hm hm hm

biology is decent but some of the stuff in it makes me want to scream in anger yup! and apartments would be fun, & some could live a bit further away. (or,,,,, an underground non-human place?? either in the small town or in the city?? that could be cool to play with omg) alright! not sure abt who i'll use ahhhhhhh understandable haha like... some sort of tunnel system? maybe they repurposed an unused sewage/drainage system and use that to travel without fear of being caught? or something? idk idk they could be spread out over multiple locations to avoid drawing a ton of suspicion to just one area do you have a sort of... type of animal or personality you think it would be interesting for my character to have? i'm trying to narrow it down

It would add a something we can do later as just a thing we can do if we want. I guess it was really just me rambling xD Or it could be a setting we can use for other stuff. Ok so I had a long ramble, but basically I was thinking godparents should be more of the light side, since it is like the birth ceremony but with a second set of chosen parents. Basically my thoughts all together were: do love outside the family with Darkness and all family relations with Light. I can do either one really the character I have strangely would fit into both of them. Darkness seems like a lot of fun to do, but light seems fun too xD Do you have a preference?

i mean like uh. like underground markets, right? one hub of non human activity but the rp wouldnt be focused on that hmm -african wild dog -wolverine -husky malamute mix / alaskan malamute -lynx -some sort of snake or reptile -hyena -uh idk i'm so mad i had a reply typed out for this and then my internet cut out and i lost it smhi... thought you meant actually underground. r.i.p. whoops alright ok cool! i have a couple of shifters: a wolf (which i could change to be a husky or other domesticated breed) and a caracal (kinda like a lynx... i guess) . the wolf is probably more of a team player, though he is pretty introverted. usually i roleplay him in his late 20s/early 30s but i could change the age if it feels necessary i also have some hybrids but i tend to rp them in pairs so maybe they could be 'side characters' or smth

That makes sense. And it seems this part definitely has a fair amount of overlap. We can weed out the small details when it comes along, I am sure and with powers I was thinking the base powers that are normally depicted with deities (ie: damage reduction, being able to speak to people through telekinesis, ability to morph into whatever their 'element' is, stuff like that) IDK, honestly stuff like this would probably be decided by the individual. That and the name of the specific deity. That works for me if it works for you

That works for me if it works for you :P yeah, that's cool! so should we... use existing languages/mythologies to name the deities? or just straight up invent new ones? we could pick from two different cultures and maybe change up names a bit if you want hmmm... i think i'll play a female character for this one. i tend to have a few more male characters so it's always good to stretch my comfort zone out

if you're still looking for people I'd love to rp with you! if not that's cool as well, I see you already have a few people here. the deity idea sounds really interesting but honestly our interests seem to overlap a lot so I'd be open to any of your ideas with the exception of boku no hero academia bc I haven't seen it yet.

Hm, I was just trolling around the internet for any names to use, honestly I think just making up our own names would be best. IDK I wouldn't be upset if you wanted to use an existing name. Ok, I was going to play Oliver for this, someone I don't rp that often. Oh and adding on: I was thinking of for the deities, they are told to change their names when they get chosen, so Oliver would be his birth name. EDIT: Just thought of this, do we want a more modern time period or something else?

EDIT: Just thought of this, do we want a more modern time period or something else? that's chill! i'll have to think of something soon. maybe the deity's name becomes their primary name, like what they're typically referred to as, but their family/close friends that knew them beforehand tend to use the names given at birth hmm. i think 'modern' in terms of like, including cell phones and internet and stuff is a bit much just in my opinion? we could maybe do a more sort of traditional "fantasy" medieval type setting... or maybe a bit more advanced, like there's some scientific knowledge, maybe even slow trains or... something? idk idk i don't have a major preference

I was thinking that as well, though it would make sense if even the families and close friends would normally use the deity name, but during personal conversations use their birth name.
Ok, I agree that cell phones/internet is a bit too modern for an rp like this. Maybe somewhere around where steam power is just starting to get invented so trains are out there, but it's not everywhere. Though that would probably only make it more complicated so medieval/Renaissance era would work if you are good with that. Though I think Renaissance would be fun to do. Maybe somewhere at the end of the medieval and the start of the renaissance?

I really don't rip it's such an open concept, it's difficult to pin down a few ideas to work off of when everything could work
it's been on my list for the longest time! I just need to sit myself down and finally get to it, I'm sure I'll love it the moment I do

(also: i don't personally need or necessarily want this rp to involve romance at least for my character, but do you think there would be rules regarding those sorts of relationships or marriage for the 'chosen ones'? lol) alright, that works for me... early renaissance europe-ish.... oof. it's been a while since i've taken a history class so i hope we don't need the historical accuracy to be really high haha. i mean of course... we're making up a religion essentially so true realism is out the window but

I just need to sit myself down and finally get to it, I'm sure I'll love it the moment I do i agree! well, we can start here-- would you like both of our characters to be deities/mythical beings/whatever? i suppose there are plots that could be made where a god and a human or other earthly creature interact (tho i wanna be a cool divine thing bc... that's jus badass lol) i totally feel ya on that one. i definitely have some series like that rip

the rule for no romance for the chosen makes sense, as they should be more focused on their position rather than a family.
Lol, yeah realism isn't a must since I am not 100% on that era, I just know that it is out of the 'dark ages' and into an era where advancement restarted and life started to get better than what it was in the years past.
I think we got most of it planned? Is there anything else you think we need to clear up before we start or?
