Mythos: Legacy of Terra [PG-16][Accepting/Not Started]

[Aesirson]

[spoiler=Plot]

This is Terra, or Earth as the modern human call her. When Terra was born, her surface had only fields filled with volcanoes and oceans. This is when she created the Greater Beings, or Gods, as they are called nowadays. The Gods was divided into several Pantheons, there was a Norse Pantheon, Greek, Egyptian and many others, and each one of these was given a landmass to rule over, to populate and to rule over. The humans who lived at these places served the Gods, and for a long time everyone was at peace. Different cultures was born at different places on Earth and Terra was now filled with life. However, then there was a rogue Egyptian God, who remained unnamed, who sent a message to a human named Abraham. This unnamed God persuaded Abraham into believing that The Unnamed was the one and only God. Abraham believed this, and a new religion was born. The new religion started to spread and The Unnamed shuned the Old Gods away. Only the Hindu Pantheon remained active untill this day. However, Terra was not the only Celestial to give birth to Greater Beings, and soon humans made clear that there was another planet which contained life. The planet was, ironicly, discovered on December 21st 2012, and was thus named Apocalypto. Apocalypto was located as far away as in the Andromeda Galaxy, but apparently, the Apocalyptians discovered humanity before we discovered them... Only a year after Apocalypto's discovery, an Apocalyptian starship appeared and dropped a gigantic, metallic ring in the middle of the Australian desert. The ship did, however, disappear not long afterwards and scientist was sent to the ring to do research on it. What they discovered affected humanity forever... The ring was, in fact, a "Stargate", invented by the Apocalyptians as a siege weapon. It was set to activate in a year... The Unnamed, who knew that the Apocalyptian Pantheon was a war- and bloodthirsty band of Gods, tried to find help in his brothers and sisters, who at first ignored his cries for help. But after half a year of weeping, The Unnamed persuaded them to help him in this fight, and all the Terran Pantheons united to fight the Apocalytian Pantheon. This is where this story starts. Each God has chosen their champion, who happens to be you, to fight for them. We however fear that the Apocalytian Gods has done the same...

You may wonder how they look, live and such. Well, they look like humans, except their skin is of a faint red, they have small horns and they always has black, grey or white hair, if any hair at all. The lifespan of an average Apocalyptian is at an 120 maximum, and for the culture, I'll let the ones who choses to play as Apocalyptians to make it up.

[Aesirson]

Accepted, and thank you for joining. Hopefully more people will join now :D

[Magnet Soldier]

Good. BTW where's your app. IT would give people something to look at when they're struggling to think of stuff to put in the app or waiting for someone to post.

Plus you didn't answer my question of if my god is Jupiter does it give me the right to slightly god mod. Same with zeus and other god leaders.

[Aesirson]

Jupiter and Zeus is the same person, just with other name. And yes, it let's you Godmod SLIGHTLY, but not to infinite ammounts. I also noticed that your Apocalyptian character is a bit young, for an Apocalyptian.

 

Also, my app:

 

[spoiler=My Apps]

Name: Kathlyn "KC" Carlson

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Personality: KC is a cheerfull and lovely person who easily befriends people. She cares very much for her friends, and she rarely, and never intentionally, let's them down.

Biography: KC was born in a mid-class family, and she has lived as a normal human untill she was 14, which was when her father died in an earthquake in Chile. That was when she started to see life in a new way, and she started being more serious. She started training in hand-tohand combat so that she could counter life's hard times. She doesn't know that she is an Embodiment, but she knows of her powers, altough she has not told anyone, nor does she use them since she can't control them yet.

 

Name: Lars Gundersson

Age: 39

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Pantheon: Norse

God/Godess: Odin

Powers: Ice, frost and cold.

Weapon(s) of Choice: His fists. Yes, he is that badass.

Appearance: Short, spiky blonde hair, which is slowly turning gray. He allways wears a black jacket, black, thick pants and sunglasses. He wears thick, black gloves and black winterboots. He is also pretty tall and has a sad-looking face. You can't really tell if he's smiling or not.

Personality: A lonel, fighter and father-like figure, Lars is a wise man, and he cares for every living thing, altough you could say that he is a Chaotic Good character.

Biography: Lars was born in Sweden and has lived there for all his life. At an early age, Lars saw his parents getting killed by a psychopath, the psycopath was never caught, though, and Lars decided to catch him himself. So he started training and when he was 22 he found the man and killed him. This was the first time that Lars killed something, ever. (He chases the flies and mosquitos away instead of killing them) Not long afterwards, he married a beautifull girl, but the Norns had something else in store for him and his marriage. Lars and his wife together had a daughter, but then the unbelievable happend. His wife died in Lars' arms after a car accident, and his daughter was killed by cancer only a year after this. After seeing so much death, Lars did what he could to prevent himself from seeing death again; he stuck his eyes out with a knife. He once again started training to strengthen his other senses, and this was when he discovered his powers. When he discovered the powers, he somehow knew that Odin ahd given them to him, and he knew that something big was about to happen. He is currently an hermit training in the Nordic mountains.

 

 

 

MOAR INFO: The first date that this RP is set to is April 16th 2016, and only a few of the Embodiments (nice word, magnet) knows that they are just that. There's currently an organization who are looking for these embodiments, and they spot them by the embodiments significant aura. Also, the Apocalyptian invasion starts at April 29th.

[Quiksilver]

Name: David Chaltoum

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Pantheon: Egyptian

God/Godess: Horus, God of the Kings, Sky, and War

Powers: Can turn to wind and travel that way, can control the weather, and he has sometimes experienced "Battlerage"- an intense rush caused by the heat of a battle that sends David into a uncontrollable rampage.

Weapon(s) of Choice: The Heru-Khopesh, (which means Sickle-Sword of Horus) it is a scythe with ancient Egyptian runes on it and can be tucked-in. It is like the Egyptian version of a switchblade.

Appearance: average height, with dark-blond hair that is short except for the bangs which extend almost to his eyebrows. Dark-skinned, dark-eyed, he is unmistakably foreign and exotic. He usually wears a cut-off brown jacket over a white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled-up, and he also wears a pair of worn jeans with white knees.

Personality: Silent and unexperienced to city life, he walks around quietly most of the time, which might have made his seem weak, but he gives off so much self-confidence most people don't what to mess with him. When he finally does talk to people, they find David is actually very companionable. Most of the time.

Biography: David is a wanderer. He has been on every continent in the world, been to many more places than most people. He doesn't remember much of his past, like where he's from, or how he obtained the Horu-Khopesh (he just calls it the sickle), but he's determined to find out. This is what had driven David to wander all these years, this determination to find out who he is. He has recently moved to New York City, which is where the god Horus found him.

 

I decided to take only one character after all.

[Magnet Soldier]

Your welcome for the word, and he isn't that young, if you say that the average human lives to 100(I know this is not true but that is what most people say) and a guy using fists isn't that badass. My guy uses nothing. As in actual nothing ness, empty spaces.

[THEChanger]

I notice a distinct lack of Apocalyptian characters. This ought to be fixed. Oh, wait, here's one.

Name: Kamil Rusul

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Apocalyptian

Pantheon: Apocalyptian

God/Goddess: Hiastru, God of Time and Death

Powers: Kamil can cause life around him to age. Usually, this occurs at a year every ten minutes, and causes no adverse effects on Kamil. However, Kamil can speed up the process of aging in other life to up to a year a minute with concentration. This, however, causes Kamil himself to age at a year every ten minutes. Kamil can not reverse this aging, nor can he choose who it effects. Time and Death do not discriminate. They are consistent for all. Kamil also can sense the life force of other beings, and tell by it‘s strength how close they are to Hiastru. This is not a result of his divine decent, though it is strengthened by it. Rather, this is an ability possessed by all Priests of Hiastru above the rank of Sana.

Weapon(s) of Choice: Kamil wields a large Was Staff, which is strapped to his back. He also carries a ceremonial dagger, but he does not profane such a holy instrument with combat. He would only use the dagger in battle if he had no other choice.

Appearance: Kamil is tall, towering over most humans at about 7 foot 3 inches. His hair is jet black, and his horns are the same colour. His skin is a deeper red than most Apocalyptians, a side effect of his divine birth. His eyes were once a beautiful green. However, as a sacrifice to Hiastru, he stabbed out both eyes with his dagger. He typically wears the robes of a High Priest of Hiastru, similar to the robes of a Catholic priest, but blood red. These robes are affixed with a large, silver ankh.

Personality: Kamil is extremely devout, more so, it is said, than any other Apocalyptian. He observes every fast day, even those of minor gods like Por-Co‘peshu, a stream deity in the Southern areas of Apocalypto, and believes any who do not subscribe to his views on the Divine are impure. He also recognizes that the Apocalyptians are not perfect, and so did his best to cultivate what he thought of as a proper respect for the Divine in his fellow Apocalyptians. He is slow to anger, slower to forgive. His grudges are almost as famous as his piety. Kamil regards this new planet as an open field of converts, and hopes the Apocalyptian government will not destroy them completely. Any humans who do not convert should be annihilated, however, and Kamil will be only too happy to assist.

Biography: Kamil‘s parents were poor. Dirt poor. As in, can‘t get enough food for them, him, and his five siblings to eat. Kamil was exposed early on to a great deal of poverty, crime, and disease. He was also exposed to religion. His Apocalyptian parents were both devout followers of the afore-mentioned Por-Co‘Peshu, and Hiastru. Kamil spent a good deal of time with the Priests of Hiastru, performing small chores for them. The priests commended Kamil‘s show of interest in the church, and asked his parents if they would allow Kamil to be enrolled in the priesthood. Both parents jumped at such an opportunity for their child, the mother most vigorously. After a great deal of studying the interconnections of the gods and goddesses, the various days of fasting and celebration for each deity, the proper manners in which to ask for aid from each one, and what deity would be appropriate for what manner of aid, Kamil entered the priesthood. His piety quickly earned him the recognition of his superiors, and Kamil rose through the ranks of priesthood rather quickly, being chosen as High Priest of Hiastru at the age of 24, having completed his training at the age of 18. Those years of rank-climbing were rather uneventful, aside from the ritual wherein Kamil put out his own eyes. This occurred upon his rise to the rank of Sana. The ritual went rather smoothly, until Kamil collapsed on the ground after putting out his second eye. It was during this collapse that Kamil received a message from his true father, Hiastru. Hiastru revealed Kamil‘s parentage, and informed Kamil of a new planet, whose inhabitants did not follow the true deities. Hiastru demanded Kamil convert these infidels, or destroy them. Upon awakening, Kamil remembered the dream, but not the pieces where Hiastru spoke of his fathering Kamil. Kamil also discovered the ability granted to him because of his divinity. The other priests assumed this was a showing of Hiastru‘s favor on Kamil, as did he. This made sure of Kamil‘s rise to High Priest.

[spoiler=The Priesthood of Hiastru]The Priesthood of Hiastru:

I felt a brief explanation of the inner workings of the Priesthood was necessary, and warranted it’s own section, as I couldn’t find a way to fit it in any other section. Please bear with me, and thank you for your time.

High Priest: The highest rank in the Priesthood, the High Priest commands the Church, deciding on matters of doctrine, and handling any large breaches of Priesthood rules. The High Priest is chosen in a similar manner as the Pope of the Catholics, with all the Sanas waiting for Hiastru to send them a sign of his will, and voting as to who the sign indicates as the next High Priest.

Sana: Translates to Year in English. The Sanas are the heads of Regionaries, large swaths of Apocalyptian land. They are chosen from the Chahrs in a region by the Sanas upon the death of a Sana from that region. All Sanas are required to partake in a ritual sacrifice to Hiastru, putting out their own eyes. Any who cannot perform this ritual are regarded as unworthy, and promptly thrown out of the Priesthood. Those who do manage this feat are well rewarded. Sanas are blessed with the ability to sense the life force of other beings, and measuring the strength of that force. This compensates for their loss of light-based sight. Sanas deal with disciplinary issues within their Regionary, unless they are of sufficient severity that the High Priest must be involved. Sanas also act as advisors to the High Priest, speaking to him or her as to the will of the people in their Regionary.

Chahr: Translates to Month in English. Chahrs run Districts within the Regionaries. Chahrs deal with administering punishment to Nahars who step out of line, and speak the will of the High Priest and Sanas to the Nahars. Chahrs are one of the most invisible members of the Priesthood, having neither the face-to-face time of the Nahars, nor the level of respect and power enjoyed by the Sanas and the High Priest. They are, however, very important, as they are the means of communication between the Sanas and Nahars.

Nahar: Translates to Day in English. The Nahars are the priests. They are the ones who hold service, answer questions about the beliefs of the Church, and mentor the Jadids. The lowest official class of priest.

Jadid: Translates to New in English. The Jadids are the apprentices of the Priesthood. They have not yet performed their first ritual sacrifice, and are thus not yet full priests. They study hard, and work harder, performing any tasks which the Nahars may need of them. Eventually, the Jadid will perform his first ritual sacrifice, during the Feast Day of Hia Firtuna, or Great Passing. Once this is done, the Jadid is ready to go and found his own church. While this was done in the old days, there is now no place on Apocalypto for a new church to be found. So, the new Nahar will usually stay with his old church, aiding his former master in the services and teaching of new Jadids.
