a bad post Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 [spoiler='Nyarlathotep'] Name: Aliases: NyarlathotepGender: Unknown, but current physical appearance is FemaleAge: Unknown, but it is suspected to be much older than the Earth itselfRace: Great Old Ones/Cosmic Horror/Eldritch Abomination Pantheon: Lovecraftian/Great Old Ones [spoiler='Appearance'] As one of the Great Old Ones Nyarlathotep has no single corporeal form, but will take on whatever for suits it best, and will use this ability to toy with and confuse her enemies. Its form is also dictated its audience, though her most common form is that of a busty middle-aged woman with long hip length hair the color of the night sky. Her long, thick eyelashes are also the same unearthly color, combined with her heterochromic sliver and gold eyes, create and eerie and disarming effect from the moment people lay eyes on her. Nyaralathotep wears a simple green dress that extends down to her ankles, the golden trim having mysterious, ancient runes woven into them. Her only adornment is a simple gold belt with the same runes etched into it. Over this she wears a transparent white robe, with golden threads woven throughout. During combat she can sprout leathery bat wings from her back for flight, though her ability to levitate makes them frivolous and redundant. This is simply her most common form though, and Nyarlathotep has myriads of others which she uses, some other very popular ones of have been categorized below. [spoiler='The Youthful Boy'] Taking the form of a boy no more than 9 Nyarlathotep uses this form to gain the trust of dimwitted humans who don't know better, though ironically despite this form's innocent look it is much more likely for Nyarlathotep to kill someone in this form. It finds that this form's gender ambiguous look, and innocent looking, saucer eyes allow for it to easily get what it wants. An easy tell as to when it will attack though, is that its eyes turn snake-like, and it develops a predatory, sadistic look to its face. Easily the most sadistic of Nyarlathoteps form's during combat it will completely destroy its opponents without mercy cowed only by greater force and/or a threat to its life.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Keeper of the Index'] The next form of Nyarlathotep is by far the nicest persona of the Cosmic Horror, and even then its a stretch acting quite passive and emotionless. Instead of information gathering, this form of an information giver, and although she will eliminate anyone who gets in her way this form can be quite trustworthy with any information it provides. Only speaking in factual, undeniable phrases, this form is more of an artificial intelligence than than an actual living being. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler='Personality'] Nyarlathotep's personality is nearly impossible to describe, the only real consistency between all of its forms is how unalike each other, and how unlikable, they are. One common trait found among most of them though is their apathetic and detached views finding other living beings to be trivial, and to be toys that can be tossed away once they're finished playing with them. Another common trait would be its amusement at human emotions and how sporadic they are. Nyaralathotep treats everything as a game, acting on its on, and for its own self-pleasure and will do nothing unless it will benefit itself in some way, shape, or form. Despite having supposedly been sealed for "thousands of years" Nyarlathotep seems to know a lot of Earth's history, and thus this gives her a certain sense of omniscience, though it is simply that a sense and can be quite easily seen as a farce by those who have experience with it, though since the pantheons have only really had 80 years to analyze Nyarlathotep's behavior... well it still seems to have the upper tactical advantage. Nyarlathotep enjoys playing this game of superiority with the deities of the other pantheons, especially since it is well aware of their hate towards it, and makes it a point to butt its nose in to all the major happenings. Such as this little affair with Cro-... Saturn... [/spoiler] [spoiler='Bio'] Originally a sleeping god and unknown Nyarlathotep, its consciousness touched that of H.P. Lovecraft, as well as its fellow Great Old Ones, and was awakened in the early 1900s before being drawn to Earth in 1920 when it first appeared in H.P. Lovecraft's works. Though it had existed before this Nyarlathotep's history before Lovecraft is unknown, it is also unknown what put the Cosmic Horror into hibernation, though some have their theories. Once arriving on Earth Nyarlathotep certainly earned its name the Crawling Chaos starting several cults in its name and instigating several wars, one of which being World War II (though it lost interest after instigating the attack on Pearl Harbor, though it thought the Atomic Bomb was pretty hilarious). Ever since it has traveled around the world whispering its dark influence on humanity causing them to destroy each other from the inside out. Though it has been quite interested in the young girl Saturn, and has made it a certain interest of itself to dig up all the dirty secrets it can on this girl. While Nyarlathotep may not know the entire truth it is well away that Saturn is not what she presents herself to be, and that the gods of the other pantheons are very interested in her. Though it expects things to get much more juicy from here, I mean it couldn't get duller with a girl just popping into existence. [/spoiler] Motive: The complete and utter destruction of humanity Have a few laughs [spoiler='Powers/Abilities'] Shapeshifting: Nyarlathetep true to its namesake the Faceless God, changes forms constantly. Without any true corporeal form it constant shifts to suit it situation, environment and needs. It can take the form of any sentient being from human beings to animals. Dark Arts: Nyarlathotep can perform various spells through mystic and ancient rituals. This includes but is not limited to summonings, healing, and barrier creation. Manipulation of Chaotic Energies: Nyarlathotep is able to wield anti-matter like energy which is one of its main forms of combat. It can manipulate it into nearly any shape, and the energy is extremely destructive exploding upon contact with normal matter. Tentacles: (not that kind you perverts) Nyarlathotep can wield metal, razor sharp tentacle-like appendages from its back, though the tentacles vary depending on which form Nyarlathotep takes, they are commonly as described above. It can control up to 8 at a time, and as long as the tip does not leave its sight it can stretch for as long Nyarlathotep needs. [/spoiler] Other Information: Nyarlathotep's theme: Masked b**** Since Nyarlathatep has no definite gender it is impossible to pinpoint a definite sexuality since it is likely to have 'relations' with either gender in a form [/spoiler] App will be finished shortly, and I'll spoiler it once its finished cause putting it in a spoiler seems to mess with it and bold the text I'd also like to place a reserve on Lakshmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asriel Dreemurr Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I am considering making a Demigod of some sort, but I don't rightly know what pantheon to choose from. Furthermore, would I have to pick a demigod from existing mythology or could I come up with a character all my own that was born of some or another god or goddess?

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ok. Just did this now I have been working on this the past few days. Standby for Persephone. [spoiler=Hephaestus] Name: HephaestusAliases: Vulcan, God of Fire, Hephaistion, Amphigúeis, Kullopodíōn, Khalkeús, Klutotékhnēs, Polúmētis, AitnaîosGender: MaleAge: Obviously extremely old (in the thousands, I suppose) appears to be around 25Race: God.Pantheon: Greco-RomanAppearance: [spoiler=Picture](ignore the weird skeleton thing... as well as the stethoscope...)[/spoiler] Hephaestus's appearance can fairly easily be described as "rough around the edges," with constant stubble and messy hair. The hue of his hair is a very dark, dull red, similar to the crust under which he spent most of his life. Due to his lack of exposure to sunlight during his early years, as well as his maintained status as a shut-in, his skin is very pale, and his eyes lack large amounts of pigmentation. His upper body is well built, with muscles covering his arms apparent when they are exposed. His face almost always wears an expression of cynicism and frustration. His hand as well as his forearms are riddled with scars from burns from his past, his knuckles gnarled and rough. On his left shoulder he bears a tattoo of a hammer, one of his common symbols. Even in his human form, Hephaestus is a cripple, though his impairment is far lesser than what is depicted in myth. His right foot is maimed, facing in a slightly incorrect direction. This forces him to walk with a cane, and causes him to slouch toward the other side when standing. These legs are thin and feeble due to the fact that he spends most of his life sitting, appearing like stilts to his more muscular upper body. He wears a large white coat, occasionally giving him the impression of a doctor. His face is adorned by a pair of rectangular-framed glasses that contain corrective lenses. Personality: Just like those that worshiped him in ancient times, Hephaestus is an artist at heart, looking around the world and seeking to understand how and why things behave the way they do. Socially, he is very isolated, and his intelligent mind is stained by a very blatant fear of rejection stemming from the way he was treated by his parents, family, and wife in the past. From this fear grows an anger, and although he does fairly well to control it, he occasionally has violent eruptions of rage. The way he sees the world, nobody really can understand his own scorn, and it is simply easier to confer in inanimate objects. Despite his reputation as "the god whose hammer-strike destroy mountains" he has a gentle spirit, and his favorite things in the world are those that are small and delicate, those that he is incapable of replicating with steel and fire. History: Hephaestus was the first child of Zeus and Hera, king and queen of the Greek pantheon of gods. Despite his pure blood, he was born with a deformity in his foot, and his mother cast him down from Olympus out of cruelty. After falling for two days, he fell into brambles on the island of Lemnos, and was gravely injured, preventing him from returning to Olympus until he had grown. Raised by the Sintian, he became a master craftsman, and eventually returned to Olympus, tricking his mother into sitting in a throne he had crafted that would prevent her from standing. Having no other option, the Olympians accepted him back into the pantheon. Hephaestus became the god of fire and of the forge, crafting many legendary objects, including one for his wife, Aphrodite. For her, he created a girdle that would make her irresistible to any other man. Despite the work he did for her, Aphrodite found Hephaestus to be undesirable, contriving in an affair with his younger brother, Ares. When he discovered this, he decided to achieve revenge, crafting an indestructible, nearly invisible net, and used it to capture the two while they were being intimate. Hauling his catch up to Olympus, he presented the two to the rest of the pantheon, asking for some form of atonement. Even so, the only thing he received was the bridal fee back from Aphrodite's father, Poseidon, to signify that the marriage was over. These events still have a hold in Hephaestus's mind, and cause him great grief. With the return of Cronus, Hephaestus considers the situation as a challenge to himself, believing that if he can capture the titan, it would prove his worth to the rest of the pantheon. Motive: Figure out what on Olympus is going on, and potentially capture Cronus if the opportunity presents itself.[spoiler=Powers/Abilities:] Fire Mastery: As the Greek God of fire, Hephaestus has the potential for near-complete control of the element, able to create elementals, images, and objects of the pure substance. Similarly, he is effectively immune to heat, unless the temperature is truly ridiculous, somewhere above 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,650 Celsius). This ability also allows him to do several smaller feats, such as calming raging flames, heating objects to their melting or boiling point, and writing messages of flame upon objects or in the sky. Although he is capable of wondrous actions with this power, the majority of what he does with it is on a small scale, so he is not as skilled with large expressions of his power. Engineer's Mindset: As the Greek God of artistry and engineering, Hephaestus is capable of discerning the purpose as well as the inner-workings of any mechanical or magical device. He can also work out solutions to mechanical or similar issues in very short amounts of time, assisting in critical thinking. Artisan's Hands: Hephaestus is extremely skilled with his hands, able to pull off detailed work such as picking locks, forging signatures, and creating small automaton. He can also create wondrous items, with his past creations including Aphrodite's girdle, the bow and arrows of Eros, and the chariot of the sun itself. Automaton Creation: Hephaestus can imbue simulated life, as well as a specific set of commands, into inanimate objects of his creation, ranging from human-like machines to doors and walls. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Weaponry:] Vulcan's Hammer: Named after his Roman alias, this hammer can break through any non-magical material with a single blow, and is itself indestructible. It is approximately one meter long, and is shaped like an oversized sledgehammer. If the hammer strikes any other object made of metal, it produces a large shower of sparks and a nearly deafening clanging noise. When not in use, it takes the form of the cane that Hephaestus uses to assist in walking. Its size and shape allow it to still be used as a cane while in hammer form, but he transforms it so as to maintain a level of subtlety.

Jolta Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nonon accepted. EDIT: Well I am constantly using an iPad so adding everyone to the list will take a while. Must as well post my first app here. [spoiler=Saturn]Name: SaturnAliases: Cronus/ChronosGender: FemaleAge: Thousands, presumably, physically 9 to 13Race: TitanPantheon: Greco-Roman (former leader) [spoiler=Appearance:] Saturn takes the form of a young, human girl, about 1.4 metres tall. She has long, wavy blonde hair which reaches down to her lower thighs. Her shining sapphire eyes are near perfection, and her skin is white and smooth. Her limbs and body are slender and her chest is literally flat, AAA probably. Some say that she almost looks like a doll. She has a ♄ emblem on her circular gold-hued medallion worn around her neck, which is actually a pocketwatch when opened. She wears this medallion over her black-and-white striped scarf. Her pure, white dress has no sleeves, but has a fine collar white buttons. She wears black thigh-highs with red shoes. When she accesses her more powerful primal split personality, Cronus, her eyes turn ruby red and her hair, a dirtier blonde, and her dress and socks swap colours. Cronus surfaces from time to time, but has not truly awakened. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality]Unlike the antagonised Cronus, she is a kind little lass who has quite a low self-esteem. She often says 'sorry', even if it isn't her fault. She is very, very shy and timid, and is afraid to be away from the ones she is close to. Even to those close to her, she might find herself a burden and want to repay people for the favours they have done to her. Of course, she tends to avoid suspicious characters or strangers. Despite this, she is very protective of her caretaker. One can often find her panicking, As Cronus, she is a ruthless barbarian who fights and kills all whom she sees as foes like no tomorrow. The brutal tyrant is hard to stop, and she will be harder to stop once Cronus fully regains her true strength. [/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] Long ago, Uranus, Cronus' father, reigned over the Greco-Roman Pantheon as the very personification of the universe as a tyrant. His wife Gaia could not take it and thus, Cronus offered to help her out. Gaia created Cronus' signature weapon, the adamantine scythe Harpe, so that he could castrate Uranus and reign as the new king, beginning a new age of gods - the Titans, where Cronus ruled as king. Ruling over the gods and time itself, Cronus was thought to be the ultimate ruler. He was aware of the prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him, thus, he ate his children, but at the end of it all, his youngest child, Zeus, the only one he did not consume, released his brethren from Cronus' stomach. Soon, Zeus and the twelve Olympians overthrew the Titans and sealed them in Tartarus after the decade-long battle known as the Titanomachy, where they have attempted to escape. Eventually, Cronus did, and pledged to release his brethren from the depths of Greco-Roman hell once he has the chance. Unfortunately for Cronus, he lost all his memories and was reborn as the maiden Saturn, in a land far from Greece... [/spoiler]Motive: To regain her memories and remember who she is while leading a normal life. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities]As Saturn Using her pocket watch, Saturn can control time to a small extent - slow it down, speed it up, and freeze it for a short amount of time. In her dormant state, she does little. However, she can also reverse the condition of things(e.g. reverse the shattering of a vase or reviving a dead person, provided it hasn't been too long). It is noted that time is always moving forward and thus, in her current state, she cannot time-travel. As long as she has her favourite scarf, it is able to sprout into raven-like wings - one white and one black, giving her flight and gliding capabilities. Without Cronus being awoken, she only has enhanced jumping and gliding abilities, and is unable to truly fly like her symbolic animal - the crow. All plant life that surrounds her immediately liven up, even if dead. This is passive. Being the leader of the Titans, her strength and reflexes are actually quite extraordinary.As Cronus The split personality of Cronus can awaken within her, enhancing her time-based and strength abilities. This split personality, in addition to having Saturn's skills, has learnt some magic that Saturn cannot perform. Cronus also has an enhanced level of concentration, allowing her to deal heavier blows by striking vital points. Cronus can create a spell known as 'Gates of Tartarus', which takes concentration and effort. If concentration is broken, especially Cronus reverting back to Saturn, the spell is disrupted. Once this spell is complete, the gates will remain for ten minutes before closing. A certain key is required to unlock these gates.[/spoiler]Weaponry: Saturn possesses an adamantine stick that can transform into a large gunscythe of about two metres in length, Harpe. Harpe can pierce through nearly anything, and even create sonicbooms. By inserting the pocket watch into a compartment, Harpe can fire bullets made from time-space itself, dealing explosions upon contact with solid matter.Other: She has an acquired taste for Maple Syrup and Ice Cream. She has an attachment to her scarf and wears it to sleep, as if it is part of her. Her weapon is Harpe.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Pennar Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 [spoiler=Lileas Mathanach]Name: Lileas MathanachAliases: Lily, Lillian, [acronym='only applicable to people that know about her Great Grandfather, Lily and Lillian can be used to Substitute for Lileas']Lileas Lámhfhada[/acronym] Gender: FemaleAge: Looks 25. but is implied to be much older, Her age is actually unknownRace: Lileas is a [acronym='and yes, The Percy Jackson-Type Demigod']Demigod[/acronym], [acronym="With him being her Great Grandfather after all"]as she has the Blood of Lugh in her Veins[/acronym]Pantheon: She has the Blood of Lugh in her Veins, Lugh is part of the [acronym='Currently, They slumber under the earth cause of the Milesians']Tuatha Dae Danaan[/acronym], A Pantheon of Celtic Gods [spoiler=Appearance:] Lileas has White Skin and Golden hair that shines, braided into Twin tails that reach down to the middle of her back. Her body is Slender and seems very fragile, although she has a pair of B-Cup Breasts. Her eyes are blue, but turn golden when angered. Her short nails on her fingers and toes are painted white, and her legs are gorgeous to look at, despite seeing a lot of work walking, running, jumping and lifting. She is about 6'8" tall, although she thinks she's shorter. Lileas, as for clothing, wears a long, white skirt and a yellow shirt, with a very light white overcoat on top. She also wears wood sandals, although she prefers walking in her bare feet. in addition to her attire, she also wears a white bracelet and a pendant with a Flaming spear on it, which she kept as a good luck charm. She wears thin-rimmed reading glasses as well... [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Lileas is actually kind and nurturing if you keep to her good side, which she's almost always is. If you somehow get on her bad side, she tends to think of more creative ways of paying you back, only going for straightforward ways once creative thinking fails her. Although she seeks attention, she isn't overbearing, though will go to quite a few lengths to get some attention. She like being Creative, although she does not like to think outside the box very often, and dislikes certain food [/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] A Great majority of her Parent's past was actually unknown. The only known details about her past was that that her grandparents of both sides are dead, although Lileas believes that they had died in a car wreck, she was actually lead to believe that. Lileas was born in Scotland, where she was raised, and raised as a rather odd child, learning fast and not knowing her own strength. At the age of 16, the coming of Age, Lileas had found out about her Ancestry, finding out that her Great Grandfather was a Now Sleeping Deity of the Tuatha Dae Danaan, Lugh Lámhfhada. Taking that Revelation to heart, she found that she wasn't as revered as she thought she was, with the Milesians still in the Celtic pantheon, She was driven out of Scotland. Now free from most responsibilities in Scotland, she flew to Japan to find new life. She started a farm, growing unusually large harvests and using her newfound powers to [acronym='See Divine Expertise, mainly the Especially area']acquire various talents[/acronym], allowing her to become very knowledgeable in certain aspects, making her spears, sling-stones, and slings, a few of the types of the weapon her Great Grandfather used. She became very popular in the area she lived as she helped out with a lot of things, occasionally frightening people with her strength.[/spoiler]Motive: She shows interest in Saturn, but is completely unaware of the whole Cronus Fiasco, If Cronus did pop out in front of her though, She'd likely hurl a rock at his head for startling her, but afterwards she will confuse him for a Fomor [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:]Divine Expertise: Just like her Great Grandfather, Lileas can actually become quite skilled in a lot of things, she learns the purpose of many things very fast, but especially on the topics of Celtic Mythological History, Poetry, Metalworking, Music, Crafting, Swordsmanship, Heroism, Sewing, Farming, and even Magic. She almost instantly mastered the uses of Spears and SlingsFomorian Strength: She is much stronger than a normal human, even though she does not look it, She can easily lift about 2 tons without any problem, Her strength also helps her Sling and Spear Throws become amazingly accurate and very long range. This ability actually comes from the fact that her Great Grandfather also had the blood of the [acronym='Fomors in Celtic Myth are like the Titans of the Greek Myth, They oppose the Celtic Gods, Unlike Titans, however, The Fomors actually had exceptions']Fomors[/acronym] running in him, that same blood also runs through her, although not purely. This strength allows her to jump very high as well.[/spoiler]Weaponry: No Mythical weapons currently, Just some Spears, a Sling, and some stonesOther: She is completely unaware of the whole Cronus Fiasco. Sometime in the RP, Failinis, Lugh's Hound, may appear and try to befriend her once I figure out how to nerf him. In addition, Her Jewelry will come into play when Failinis arrives...

Asriel Dreemurr Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Name: Shinkaku Aliases: Shi no Hoshi, Shin, Kaku, Sex: Male Age: 19 Race: Demigod, son of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto Pantheon: Shinto [spoiler=Appearance] Shin is what one would describe as average, standing at about the expected height for his age and not being particularly fat or muscular. His hair is the predictable black for his people, and his skin is only slightly darker than the norm due to physical activity out in the sun. Perhaps the only thing that is not average about young Shin is the color of his eyes: a pale grey that always seems to shin as if they were reflecting some light beyond that of the area where he is. For the most part his body is void of markings, save the occasional bruise or scratch which he might sport due to his chosen method of paying rent. Clothing wise, this particular young man is most often clad in a somewhat loose-fitting pair of jeans with an accompanying shirt normally of some subdued color or other. Along with this, he wears any one of three pairs of sneakers, all of which are a plain white and kept divinely clean to avoid ruining their appearance, and a simple dark grey hoodie when the weather is cool enough to demand it. Often, he can be seen carrying a large duffle bag full of equipment of some sort or another.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Despite being a relatively reserved person, Shin is quite nice all things considered. He is more than happy to help with the small problems of the world and to do what he can for the bigger ones. A smile is more often seen upon his face than a frown, and those oddly glowing eyes of his seem to have a certain determination within them if one looks closely enough. This determination is also seen in his refusal to give up once he has set himself to working on something. He values his friendships to the extreme, and if he swears an oath to anyone, whatever it may be and whatever circumstances arise to try and break it, he holds true to his word. After all, if you cannot trust a man's word then what can you trust?[/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] For Shinkaku, his story starts on the twenty-first of December some nineteen years ago when his mother gave birth to him. It was a cold night, and at the exact moment of his birth the moon, a full moon as it happened, was partially obscured for a few minutes by an inexplicable black mark which glimmered like a star. He would never know his mother, as she died bringing him into this world and he was put up for adoption almost immediately. A young couple were the ones to adopt him and give him his name, raising him as they would their own son. Throughout his childhood, the boy displayed abilities on a level that far exceeded most of his peers. He was much stronger and faster than them without trying, and displayed a quickness of mind that had him on the fast track to an advanced education and a bright future...until he started to notice the jealousy. Many around him regarded him coldly, and some even with outright malice because of his apparent abilities. Thus it was that he made the decision to be as normal as he possibly could, much to the dismay of his adopted parents who were always pushing him to be the very best that he could. Still, he found himself much happier as he simply became a normal kid with normal grades, normal friends, and normal abilities with a single exception. One place he could never bring himself to not excel in was martial arts. Something about it all seemed...right to him, and he displayed exceptional skill in learning all that he could be taught in both armed and unarmed styles. It was around his seventeenth birthday that the two he came to know as his parents revealed that he was adopted, and where this might have strained some relationships between parents and children it did not with him. He thanked them for taking him in, but ultimately he left to go and live on his own. He competed in various martial arts tournaments for money, and made a fair name for himself in that regard. That line of living for him saw him earning enough to maintain a simple apartment with money being saved up to go to university when he was older. But of course, there is more to this young man's story. While his biological mother is ultimately of little consequence, his father is another matter entirely. The man who gave him life was not a man at all, but rather a God. None other than Tsukuyomi, God of the Moon. Whatever his motivations for fathering a child, this deity has in some degree watched after his son for most of his life and was even responsible for a unique gift that Shinkaku received on his eighteenth birthday. [/spoiler] Motive: To do what good he can in the world, and make what friends he can. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:] Supernatural Attributes: Though Shinkaku does his best to remain at the normal level of human ability, his nature as a Demigod means that he is in all actuality leaps and bounds above that. His strength, speed, endurance, and reflexes are such that it takes an incredible amount of concentration to keep him from demonstrating his truly Godlike nature. Shadow Manipulation: Much to his own surprise, Shinkaku has discovered an innate ability to control the shadows themselves. This ability could ultimately take any number of forms, but for the time being the inexperienced Demigod is at most able to alter the lay of shadows and darkness wherever it may be and create rudimentary constructs, such as tendrils, from them. As he grows in skill with this, he could well learn to actually make creatures from the darkness or even weapons but for now that is beyond his reach. Furthermore, he is able to manifest shadows within his hands and utilize them to produce projectiles to strike at his enemies from afar. For the time being, it would almost be worth more for him to use a gun or a bow but as his skill increases the power of these projectiles will no doubt exceed mortal weaponry. Shadow Teleportation: Also surprisingly, Shinkaku has discovered an ability to teleport between shadows through a bizarre sort of connection that all such things have. For now, the range of his this power is limited to moving between two shadows within ten meters of each other but as with his other power this could well extend to quite a ways as his skill increases. As it stand, he must wait a minute and a half between teleportations.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Weaponry:] The only weapons which Shinkaku wields are the two which he received as gifts from his father on his eighteenth birthday. The first is a Katana bearing a unique style of hilt. This weapon was made on commission by a singularly skillful craftsman among the gods, and is forged from a meteor. Due to its unnatural origins, the blade is all but unbreakable and cleaves cleanly through lesser weapons. It was specifically made for Shinkaku, and is able to amplify his offensive use of shadows into more powerful projectiles. The second is a Naginata forged by the same god, and dipped in the tail of a comet. Much as the sword, this weapon is all but indestructible and a bane to lesser arms, but itself enhances Shinkaku's teleportation abilities so long as he wields it, allowing him to move more quickly between shadows.[/spoiler] Other: Shi no Hoshi is the name that the Shinto Pantheon would call him by, were he recognized as a Demigod. Shinkaku hates nothing more than the sound of a harpe being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral_Stalfos19 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Guys... what we're really waiting on is the certain teenager. ... I've been having writer's block with him though, so I'm at a standstill. Oh, and that means Isis has to wait as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Pennar Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 [Spoiler=Failinis:] Name: FailinisAliases: Fer Mac, Fermac, FailiGender: It's gender is completely unknown, [acronym='I will use "He" for Failinis's Gender related punctuation']Rumors say it is Female, it's suggested that it's male[/acronym]Age: UnknownRace: Divine DogPantheon: Celtic [spoiler=Appearance:] Failinis is a Hound Dog about the size as an average large dog. It's hide is gray as rock, and it's fur is somewhat Smooth, although you can feel definite hair on him. Failinis has a Slender, yet Muscular Build, with a very narrow snout. It's eyes are black, but if you look closely in his eyes, you would be able to find resolve in them. Failinis actually needs very little to disguise himself, since his appearance is already considered "Normal". The only thing he really changes on himself to blend within towns is a ruffling of his fur and collar. In battle, his eyes turn a brilliant golden color and his sharp white claws bare themselves on his feet. Failinis's Long tail is gray with a white tip[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Failinis is extremely protective of anyone related to Lugh Lámhfhada. Otherwise, he's very kind and often desires to be loved on. He often shows himself to be somewhat prideful and very capable. He really loves to hunt and take baths.[/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] Failinis was the Hound of Lugh Lámhfhada, and one of the few items that was taken from the Children of Tuireann as a reparation for the slaying of Lugh's Fater. but he had been misplaced somehow. He was found by someone and was given to the Fianna, whom used him as a source of wine and a bodyguard. One day, He had mistakenly slain one of the Fianna, and as retribution, He was killed, then Skinned... Many years later, about the same time Cronus returned, Failinis was somehow brought back to life somewhere in Japan. His Hide and Fur was completely Intact, as if he had not even been killed to begin with. He realized soon afterward that he was revived by a godlike power and felt that he had a purpose, so he set off to search for any trace of his first master. He currently does not know of the whole Cronus Fiasco and would likely seek out a deity to find some answers for.[/spoiler] Motive: After catching up with what is happening at this moment, Failinis will search for any trace of the now slumbering Lugh Lámhfhada, so it can protect them, including any possible Grand-children. [spoiler=Powers/Abilities:] Failinis's Hide: Failinis's hide, when Running water touches it, Magically Turns the Running water into Either Mead or Wine, Failinis's Hide retains this property even after being Skinned Reborn Strength, Speed, and Resilience: Failinis's Physical Prowess, although is merely a fraction of what it originally was, is still much better than an ordinary dog, He's about 250-350% Stronger and faster than the strongest and fastest dogs, respectively Size Change: Unlike most dogs, Failinis actually changes size based on the time of day it is, Growing Larger in the morning, rivaling the size of the largest dogs, then shrinking to the size of a lapdog at night [/spoiler]Weaponry: His claws and fangs count?Other: Failinis can Identify Jewelry forms of Celtic Mythological Artifacts, Only Gods as well as People of Blood Relation of Lugh Lámhfhada can understand any words it says (Such as Lileas), otherwise, they hear the usual dog sounds. He despises Harpeys [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
