A God's World

<u><strong><div style="text-align: center;">Premise</u></strong><!--center--></div> The Universe Throne. The Seat of power that stands in the center of the Cosmos. Where the Great Ruler, the DEUS EX resided, controlling every single aspect of reality. From the flutter of a butterfly's wing, to the destruction of a star. However, nothing lasts forever. And he knows that more that anyone else. Death comes for all, and his billion year lifespan is coming to an end. He needs an heir. Someone to carry on his legacy for the next Billion Years. But who would be worthy of such an immense task, such important work? Only thoughs of great strength, power and fortitude would be able to take on such a role. And so, after much diliberating, he sends out a message to his greatest of children, the God's and Goddess's that created and govern Earth. By forming a contract with a human, they would enter the Mortal realm, and do battle. The prize: Ascension. The stage is set. The contestant chosen. <div style="text-align: center;"> Welcome to a God's World<!--center--></div> <strong><div style="text-align: center;">Location</strong><!--center--></div> The Roleplay takes place in Miikaru, a small, peaceful rural town. <strong><div style="text-align: center;">Factions</strong><!--center--></div> <u>The Legion:</u> The devout warriors of the <em>12 Olympian Gods and Goddesses</em>, they see themselves as the elitist and almost royal like warriors who have benn destined to rule over all other factions for generations. They are the wealthiest and most politically connected of all the factions and have nor espect for those they consider 'beneath' them. With the great Deus Ex becoming ill as of late... among their noble and proud ranks many are beginning to see this as their chance to become the True Power of the known cosmos.

Long ago the patrons of Death itself signed what was called the Black Contract which made Gods like Hades (greek) and Shinigami (japanese) as much as equals as Goddesses such as Hel (norse) and Kali (hindu). Each God/Goddess shares and equal portion of the Underworld and they do business with one in dealing 'souls'. Their order of power is not unlike that of the Mafia and Yakuza. With coming illness and death of Deus Ex, they see this as an oppurtunity to collect more souls and obtain True Power.

They're a proud but honest lot who always accept a new friend who would hold a weapon in the name of their brand of justice and heroics. They see the death of Deus Ex as an oppurtunity to deal out justice and will readily take his thrown in order to obtain his True Power.

The group includes Gods and Goddesses of animals, birds, fish, trees, rivers, lakes, mountains, and any other forms of nature or life. This group easily covers the entire world stretching even further than that of The Legions. However their Gods and Goddesses are considered too 'weak' by standards of other Gods and Goddesses, thus they are often overlooked and their influence on the world is minimal. Plus they are a rather... eccentric and disorganized 'hippie' lot. With the coming demise of Deus Ex, they see their future coming into jeopardy and they too seek to take his throne and True Power for themselves.

They are easily the most mysterious and powerful of the factions. The other factions have long had a secret fear of this lot and what they stand for. With the passing of Deus Ex, perhaps this is their chanc eto reise into True Power once more..</u> Patrons <div class="spoiler"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display='block';this.style.display='none';" value="Show spoiler"> <span class="spoiler_content" style="display:none"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.parentNode.style.display='none';this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[0].style.display='block';" value="Hide spoiler"><br> more may come... <!--spoiler--></span></div> <u>The New Order:</u> A group lead by Loki, the Norse Trickster God. It consists of Gods that had fallen or been betrayed, and as such were killed/stripped of their powers and title. They seek to use the power of the Universe Throne to 'right the wrongs against them'. Which basically means the destruction of the other Gods and the creation of a New World Order.

The faction known as BloodReign consists of those Gods and Goddesses that were once appeased through such inhumane acts. They see all of humanity as merely cattle for their viscious rites. An Alliance between The DragonSlayers and The Legion has been formed, however fragile, to stamp out these deities once and for all. They desire the Universe Throne and its power to dispose of those who would wish their destruction, and to call for the age of Human Sacrifice once more.
