Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jemal" data-source="post: 3619665" data-attributes="member: 9026">Ethandrew - I may give you "EMOTION" itself as a MAJOR domain, as it is a step above any single emotion. such as love, anger, hatred, fear, etc.But you wouldn't have as full control over any one of them as someone with the same ranks in that specific motion...  it would be EMOTION's in general, and all-encompassing.(Just like the god of nature isn't as in tune with Trees as the god of Trees.)If you also wanted to take a few ranks each in specific emotions, I might allow those to stack whenever you're trying to effect a specific emotion.(For example, if you had rank 10 Emotion and rank 3 Fear, whenever you were trying to do something relating to FEAR, you would have a better chance than you would with ANGER.)Also, Emotion is a pretty big Portfolio all by itself, not sure if you'd have any room left over for others, especially something else fairly big, like Day & Night or even Dreams.James - The reason I gave out the general point structure was so you guys could have an IDEA of what you might want, not so we could get every last detail fitted down right now.  I also gave out the 'general' amount of points.. Also, I had an epiphany regarding how the point system should work, and wanted to post it so I wouldn't forget it.  As for how you respond to the new gods, that's up to each individual god to decide for themselves.  Can you live with these lesser gods, or will you destroy them so there are no possible usurpers to your power?  (None of the New Gods, btw, will have above Rank 8 in any Domain, so if you have Rank 10, then essentially they're under YOUR Pantheon if you choose to form one).  IE , if the example "god of Video Games" decided to form the Pantheon of Video Games, he could have the "God of Mortal Kombat", "God of Tetris", and "God of Mario" all working with him.  (assuming they were willing, or he could 'convince' them).*OOC NOTE: Anybody read CTRL-ALT-DEL? *L* The gaming gods.There CAN be multiple Gods of War.  But only one GOD OF WAR(Domain Rank 9/10)The upside is you're about twice as powerful as most of them.The downside is - There's a lot of them, and you don't really know how closely knit they are.(And yes, all of the "lesser" Gods will be NPC'd.)As for what I'm HOPING for.. well, I DID put in a few 'seeds' in the Backstory if you'll note, pointing towards this becoming more of a gods trying to save the universe b/c a flawed universe is better than no universe, "even if I have to team up with my worst enemy to do so.  When it's done, I shall gladly dismember him" plot down the road.In other words, it may eventually become more of an "adventure for gods" later, but at the beginning I want to see how you would roleplay your 'god' coming back into this changed Universe.. Does he/she watch and learn?  Interfere directly?  Try to rule everything?  Destroy?  Make alliances with the New (or old) gods?  Work with other Gods, or start War with them?Also, once I've chosen the PC's, I wll also be putting up rules to show how you would interact with other Gods, if you happen to get into a direct physical/magical contest.Also, I may not have made it clear, and for most cases it doesn't matter except background and maybe some roleplaying aspects, but you "Gods" (Not the new ones, but just you Old-Timer PC's) are not 'ascended mortals' (Which would be what the New ones are), but more 'beings spawned of the universe for a purpose'.  You are a VERY powerful race of beings unto yourselves, who have managed to gain a finite control over the fabric of space & time, and the Universe itself.Anything I missed?</blockquote>
