DJNES: Deities Preview

[germanicus12]

EDIT: @germanicus: I won't get irate, but there is a little text you should check out... its called the City of God by St. Augustine. In short, you are wrong. Also, the Roman gods sucked initially. They stole some meat and potatoes from the Greeks and became more than personifications of objects. For instance, Janus, the God of Doorways, from the word Ianua, "door." Creative, that.

It was meant more as a joke. The empire actually fell apart for numerous reasons, not just religion.

I know it was a joke. My response was intended to be as well, which is why I called the 800 page City of God a little text.

 

[sp1023]

Yes, but the Romans still copied the Greeks for gods powers, just not their names. Although I am not sure what it means in Latin. (Jupiter, Neptune)

Pantheon of Rejected:

Name/Player: Psio/erez87
Color: Royal purple
God of: Psych
Location: Vesar
Symbol: Purple rocks, Flying purple cube, Elephants and Dolphins
Followers: Humans that develop their psi powers.
Bio: As the wars of men begun and magic was used to fight wars there was one type of magic that remained undefended, unguarded from the destructive nature of men. The people who trained their minds to make great feats of power were left alone and slaughtered nearly to extinction. Their abilities at start of training were weaker then other kinds of magic and only ones who trained for many many years could defend themselves. A man named Marok trained his mind for over 500 years before the wars begun. When they started he took to himself to protect the weak psi men. He built a giant castle fully out of purple rock and peaked his power to nearly reality warping ones. All his works did not go unnoticed and when the king of Vesar heard of the castle he sent assassins to kill the power Marok. 5 Assassins were needed for the job and the 5 never returned alive yet the work was done. Marok body laid down as the many psi men in the castle were afraid for their lives. Together they all wished for help as the god Psio was created out of all the psi powers in the world and out of Marok's psi energy that was released at his death. Psio sits in Marok's castle now in a chamber full of purple rocks. His powers are awesome and his current aim is the fall of Vesar.

Reason: Too much purple, flying cube, dolphin, and elephant.


Name/Player: Pwnzorius/sp1023
Color: Light Blue
God of: Air and water/ Time (if only one, then time)
Location: Telomari
Symbol: A wave, whales, time portal
Bio: He came as a salvation to mankind, after the destruction of earth. He came back in time, to enlighten the world. Unfortunately, man didn't lsiten, and his anger grew. Grew and grew. Until his power was so great, the air and water also followed him. He bends time at his will, and brings water and air with him.

Reason: Didn't follow format. And inappropriate name.


Name/Player: Demiurgos/LittleBoots
Color: Grey-black
God of: Destruction
Location: Mahan
Symbol: Ravenous black Lion
Followers: Soldiers, Cultists, Kings
Bio: The Demiurgos crafted the world from Silva. If he wants to destroy it, he can damn well do as he pleases!

Reason: Inadequate and improper bio.


Name/Player: Manwe/a_propagandist
Color: Light Blue
God of: Eagles, Winds etc.
Location: Vel'Garath
Symbol: Eagle
Followers: Telorians
Bio: Created in the beginning, his initial purpose was to make music.

Reason: Total plagiarism from J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion

Question: How is it an inappropriate name? Look at Nuke Kid!

 

[dldnjstjr]

What's wrong with Padia?

 

[sp1023]

No, I meant his idea of love and ya know! That's pretty random in an NES, you have to admit that!

 

[dldnjstjr]

Aphrodite? Cupid?

 

[sp1023]

Sex! That's pretty much rated R! He could've left it simple, but noooooo, he goes ahead!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Ok, instead of this insane "build-a-god" workshop, how about we just do Olympian gods with map of Greece?

Boo!

No, I meant his idea of love and ya know! That's pretty random in an NES, you have to admit that!

No, there have been mythic beings for many things. Love isn't random at all. The God of Socks is random, at least until socks exist.

But seriously, lots of things are really good:

Gods of ______

Elements, emotions, human traits, natural phenomena, etcetera.

 

[dldnjstjr]

That's why I made him change it to Love. But then again, Aphrodite/Cupid was also goddess/god of lust and desire as well.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Yes. Frankly, Aphrodite was much more of a seductress than a lover.

@sp, once you have it, then you will know what I am talking about; There is nothing better than waking up next to a red head that would make Boubica jealous *Boudica from Civ IV

 

[erez87]

Reason: Too much purple, flying cube, dolphin, and elephant.

What do you mean with that?

 

[dldnjstjr]

non sequitur symbolism

 

[erez87]

Why? Egyptian Ra had a pyramid going for him. Some Indian god had Elephants. And color, every god has some color behind him (mainly love gods, Red).

Whats not right in that? I didn't mean a cube that really flies... Just it's painting does.

 

[dldnjstjr]

Ok, whatever. I'm not gonna argue about it. As long as you're serious.

 

[erez87]

I am. I always wanted to be a god, or a character with powerful psi powers. I consider it the most powerful of all abilities.

 

[Oruc]

I could make Shoz more good, but I like morally-ambiguous intellectualism more.

Stick with what you like.

Ok, instead of this insane "build-a-god" workshop, how about we just do Olympian gods with map of Greece?

I really don't like this idea

Having girlsfriends is forbidden by my religion.
