Message: <blockquote data-quote="Unwise" data-source="post: 6853465" data-attributes="member: 98008">I played a game as King Monkey, Great Sage, Equal of Heaven. It was set after his fall from heaven and being trapped under a mountain for a hundred year, as his power slowly leaches away. Even memories of who he was died off in the mortal realms a generation or two ago. He is now just seen as an ancient fictional character. He was a level 3 monk, set on reclaiming his powers and forcing his way back into heaven.Another character was the Jade Gate of Heaven, which Monkey had smashed during the brawl as he got kicked out of heaven. The gate smashed into shards, the character was a Shardmind who had to collect the other pieces of himself so that he could once again become the Jade Gate of Heaven and allow fallen heroes and others to access the heavens. Monkey had to help him, because if ever her was to go back to heaven and kick that uppity emperor in the face, he needed the Jade Gate fixed.The final character was the Great Marshall of the Heavenly Host. Who got in trouble for fighting Monkey and accidentally had a hand in breaking the Jade Gate. He was cast out of heaven during the brawl, but cannot get back without the Jade Gate fixed either. He was de-incarnated and became a baby but kept some of his memories. He was still young when the game started and a level 3 Warlord.--So a de-powered god can work, but only in game where it is clear that you are not trying to get a special snowflake, or everybody is. Personally I would cringe if a player suggested this, particularly if he was just pretending to be a mere mortal. This is not a reflection on the OP, who I do not know at all, but if I did not know the player well, I would suspect they were on a power trip style of escapism, which is not my preferred type. I have had a few issues with players who I got the feeling wanted to be powerful not enjoying the game whenever they failed at things and became pretty disruptive.</blockquote>
