Ever Dream Deity Roleplay(Always Open)

Othar timemaster

"Here or now? Here I intend to make very many changes over the course of history, but now i intend to watch."

To Jamal, "I need to speak with you in private when this is done. Now get on with it already!

 

[periculum]

OOC: I love the idea of a god involving time, it's just such a wonderfully complex subject to wrap your mind around. For instance, how exactly did he arrive too late when he was traveling backwards through time? doesnt that mean he ended his journey prematurely and was early? and what exactly keeps him from going back further? Overall, love the concept, Welcome to you and good journey. To U-Do, what constitutes a true god? Jo'karr was created from the violent death of mortals, Jemal was created by traume when he walked upon the world, and tocho was created by shara's life burst. i see no problems with othars creation.

IC: Tocho watches the newcommer from the shadows. He notes Othar's worn appearance, this being has obviously just completed a long and arduous journey. He listens to Othar's story with great interest, absently stroking a snake that once called itself his spear. "So how am I slain, and by whose hand?"

 

[Albedo]

OOC: My statement on if he was a true god was more of an in character statement reffering to whether or not he is a born god or a really powerful mortal. I'm not saying there is a problem with his character.

 

[Endovior]

Xavax interrupts.

"That's a very interesting story, but I don't think you have the control of time you claim. Observe."

With a wave of his hand, Xavax creates a magical display with Silent Image. The display shows an exponentially curved line.

"Time control of any sort is dependent upon power. The more time is affected, the greater the power required. As you will note [here Xavax gestures to his display] acceleration or deceleration of the time flow is easy, via the standard Haste and Slow spells. Ceasing the flow of time altogether is more difficult, requiring spells like Temporal Stasis or Time Stop. Travelling forward in time at a greater then standard rate requires Epic magic... or cleverness on the part of the traveller; for example, placing yourself in temporal stasis while leaving a method to break said stasis on a mechanical or magical trigger to activate at a later time, giving the effect of said travel without consuming the power. It is noticeably easier to send an effect forward in time then it is to go yourself, and the same holds true for the reverse, although sending any effect back in time requires a great deal of Divine power. And physically travelling back in time would require the intervention of an Overdeity. You are clearly not an Overdeity, so I theorize that this universe's resident Overdeity, Shara, has sent you back in time personally, rather then you performing the act yourself, for some purpose of her own."

Endovior nods.

"Ahh, Xavax sees to the heart of the matter, as he tends to. That being said [here Endovior turns to Tocho], I would examine Othar's wording carefully. Othar did not claim to be the last being alive, merely the last mortal alive... which does not mean that the universe ended after him... nor that any of us were slain. It simply means that something caused all mortal life to be destroyed, a feat that any of us could easily accomplish, given sufficient time and a lack of intervention that is unlikely to occur. More likely, there was a great Godwar, and in the crossfire, something regrettable occured... and Shara intervened. [Endovior turns back to Othar] I would further assume that said Godwar will occur sometime in the relatively near future... that being the reason why Shara sent you here rather then the very beginning. That being the case, your goal is the same as mine. You seek to prevent war between the gods, as do I. Therefore, let us work together in this task, as two united are vastly stronger then one."

ooc: and I suppose that the bit about Shara is technically true... FreeXenon DID approve your join, so I suppose you DID have the intervention of an Overdeity

 

[Jemal]

"Back to the point of this meeting.. And I think Othar's appearance here and comments shows that my fears may become true."

Jemal turned then to Traume "You see, Father, I did NOT subvert that angel.. It was something in this Universe itself. What I've discovered is that The powers of this Universe are greatly different from those in any other.. and I've looked into a few with the help of this book.." Jemal pulls out the Manual of the Planes and hands it to Endovior "You were right, by the way, I wasn't ready for it.. I appologize for taking it and have only my rash youth to blame."
Turning back to the rest of the assembled Gods, he continued " You see most Universes have a finite amount of power and souls, though the numbers are exceedingly large as to seem infinite.. Our Universe, however, contains the power of three universes, split between the same amount of souls... and LESS Gods.. than any other. In most universes, there are dozens upon dozens of Dieties, several billion souls, and a certain amount of power split mostly between the gods and some between the souls.
Because of how Ours was created, however... The death of Valkath and Volkrath... and the later infusion of the dying powers of the Universe Endovior came from, Along with all the Godly magics he brought WITH him, we have three times the power, still only a few billion souls, and less than a dozen Dieties."

He stopped and turned to Traume "You wanted to know how this affects you? Once these souls come here" He waved his hand towards the realm of Death "What happens to that power? And what happens when these Souls are all here or in my realm?" Jemal glanced around at each of them "You've allready seen some of the side affects of such power... Albedo, Alyssa, Xavax, the seemingly random creation of Gods such as myself, Tocho, and Jo'karr... the beast Failure... and now this Angel pretty much transforming ITSELF into a new species." He turned to Endovior and Xavax "This is not usual in other universes, is it? Soulless yet powerful beings? Albedo, Alyssa, Xavax, Failure, and this Fiend.. None of them have SOULS!"

"It is my theory that Eventually there will be nothing left but Soulless beings and Gods, and when that happens..."
Jemal left the thought hanging, looking curiously at Othar.

Except Othar wasn't there.

Instead As Xavax's speech ends, Othar Timeshifts but leaves these words behind, "You doubt my power Xavax. YOU A WHO HAVE SEEN TWO MULTIVERSES AND ONE END OF TIME! I will prove it to you! As for Tocho's question the only way to kill a diety is by destroying what they embody. U-Doh went first because of the multitude of Death overbalancing Life. Then Jo' Karr came next as most mortal life died. Then Tocho and Endovior because competition and magic went with the mortals. Then Moss died when the Atmospheres could nolonger sustain plant life. Then Traume with all of the death exploded in power, and Jemal I will tell in private of his demise." to go off after Jemal Finishes.

Then all of you feel power that feels as if the multiverse itself was refolding.

Then Othar reapeares and says "Now you have a real colmology, unfortunately the rift in time is not yet healed and will slowly suck out mortal life as more time passes."

"Sorry for the interruption Jemal I hope I set my message properly. Yes at the end of my world there was only a single god, myself. Prior to that after mortals died out the universe basically ended though. But previous failures aside i have fixed that(accidentally). The time rift stores the power of the souls it leaches from so new souls may be created. The Aelves are timeless beings and thus create soul specifically to deal with time rifts such as this. I entrust this energy in equal parts to Traume and Jo'Karr. Furthermore in the cosmollogy I made for you therre are 8 spaces for planes the plane of good, the plane of law, the plane of evil, the plane of chaos, the plane of water, the plane of fire, the plane of earth, the plane of air. The spaces all overlap to form the Prime Material plane where all of those things are encorporated these planes also overlap like this:
FIRE:AIR
FIRE:EARTH
AIR:WATER
EARTH:WATER
LAW:GOOD
LAW:EVIL
GOOD:CHAOS
EVIL:CHAOS
An astral plane fills the empty space between the planes
A plane of shadows is an alternate material plane exsisting wherever there are shadows on the material plane
The elemental plane of magic is a diety only plane from where all magic and such comes from. Shara grants Dieties a home piece where they maintain absolute controll. NO MORTALS MAY EVER ENER HIS PLANE.

OOC:And so aging the planes and Soul Recycling were born

 

[FreeXenon]

Shara, The Light Bringer (Goddess of Light, Life, and Magic)

A subtle nurturing warmth fills the room as a great beam of white light appears shines upon the ground near the assembled Gods as Jemal finishes speaking. The light seems to pulse lightly for a brief moment and then as abruptly as the light apears it is gone. Shara stands before you and she smiles lightly.

"Greetings Godlings."

She nods to Othar smiles a little bit more when she takes in his worn and haggaard appearance.

"Divine Essence is something more that a soul it is the very essence of existence. We, as beings infused with divine energies, are as balanced as we make our selves. The Worlds of Life and its creatures are balanced by its very nature thanks to the works of Traume and Moss. Other universes have had aeons to mature, develop, and evolve its sentient species. The Worlds of Life will one day be as full and rich with life as other universes if we do not destroy it first. The Worlds of Life need time.

A council has been mentioned and it is a good idea. More so than that, it will be more important that we each have our own plane, and then a plane for which we can go to gather and settle our differences. Our battle ground and our ground of mediation. This will save the Worlds of Life from much meddling and destruction allowing it to evolve. Time is what the our worlds need now."

OOC: How did I become Worn looking, I was planning on looking older/younger in relation to the universe
ie: If the universe is just beginning I am a baby If it is about to end I am an old "worn" man so are you saying the universe is ending?
then again you didn't know how looked and may have been guesssing.

Just working off this post. And NO the world is not about to end... again.

Its like the fourth time this week!

One persons old is another person's young! [/sblock]

 

[Albedo]

U-DO laughs at Othar's idea of his death. "Do you really think that I can be killed by the unbalance of life and death? My ties with this world go alot deeper than the balances I uphold. Now I am truly interested in this future. It means my calling to leave this place and take my place in fate will actually come to pass. My purpose here is for something you cannot begin to comprehend, and while my knowledge of other universes simply comes from rumors and floating gossip, the one fact I know true is this. I AM THE ONLY ONE. There is no other like me. And I am here to prepare this world, this oddity of a universe, for its higher calling."
