Introduction/Story Teaser


On our world, the things we knew as 'Gods' are beings that we have long lived past, and without, for a very long time. In dimensions beyond our own, other Gods have their gaze upon a grand prize: mankind itself, a willful, proud race that has matured without the diluting influences of native deities, and without native deities to protect it, Earth is easy to access.


But mankind is not defenseless, nor senseless. Their technology, the universal magic, had seen the development of powerful AIs. Brilliant as this technology is, mankind has inadvertently built a new kind of God, one of their own world and of their own nature, and may not be as easy to comprehend...


Gameplay

  • Play as a Deity or an AI in a great Celestial War for earth
    Deities are powerful extraplanar beings who gain strength from the Devotion of others. Each Deity has a different form, different powers, and different methods of operation.
  • AIs are supercomptuers built throuygh various means that


[*]Operate a small, specialized Cult for your God or AI master, or lead an entire nation to glory!


[*]Play as a Scion, Champion, or Prophet, powerful humans that derive their power from the Gods themselves



Requirements

  • Creativity: Every method of playing this game has players thinking of new and improved methods of applying the concepts of the game
  • Game Awareness: A passing understanding on how the game's universe will be enough to play this game, so read the main guide.
  • Participation: You only gain power if you use it!
 
So is this a nationbuilder, freeform or what?


I get almost no information from your post.


Are you sure you are up to running another game? Last I heard you had to bring in a second ST just to help you with Pokepunk and Post Mortem which still has not picked up?
 
You can't use Post Mortem against me, because it never started. And PokePunk has slowed to the point that I don't need a Co-Mod but I keep them anyways in case it picks back up.


This is a NBRP/Character hybrid.
 
I don't know know what it means to be playing as a deity or an AI gameplay wise.


Other then that they sound cool and it says they are powerful humans I don't know what Scion, champions, and prophets mean in terms of this game.


Game Awareness: Game's don't get approved if players don't understand what you have to do before it begins.
 
Scions, champions, and prophets are basically player charecters, A "diety and Ai" are the flavors for player nations, are you tech based and worship computers, or are you into the mystical mumbo jumbo and worship a god to get your neat powers. . The cult thing is basically for smaller scaled play for those not wishing to run a full nation (the last bit was a guess)


Did I get anything wrong uziel?
 
You have my vote. Mecha England is go.

Deity Sheet


Deity Names: The Praetors of Phyrexia (Collective, five deities): Jin-Gitaxias (soft g: jin-JITACK-sias), Sheoldred (SHEE-old-red), Urabrask (URA-brask), Vorinclex (VOOR-in-clecks), and Elesh Norn (EL-esh NORN)


Appearances: Jin-Gitaxias, Sheoldred, Urabrask, Vorinclex, and Elesh Norn.


Planar Origin: New Phyrexia (Originally Mirrodin)


Domain: Science and Learning (Jin-Gitaxias), Selfishness and Ambition (Sheoldred), Passion and Industry (Urabrask), Tenacity and Nature (Vorinclex), Law and Spirituality (Elesh Norn)


Traits: The five Praetors tend to find a balance between one another, utilizing each of themselves to the fullest in each direction. They tend to disagree on certain issues (Jin disagrees with Urabrask and Vorinclex on actions and natural order, for example), but they all innately work towards the same goal of spreading their domain to Earth. Their strengths, when combined, make a robust pantheon that covers all aspects of life. Jin-Gitaxias experiments and observes, Sheoldred serves her own ends and spies on enemies, Urabrask passionately works his forges, Vorinclex seeks to let nature run its course, and Elesh Norn establishes a spiritual regime.


Symbols: The mark of the Five Praetors, all becoming one.


Powers:

  1. Tireless Searching: Jin-Gitaxias possesses the ability to instantly interface with the mind of whomever he is talking to. He doesn't have this passively, rather it allows him to open up one's mind like the hood of a car. From this, he can work his powers to dissect the mind of his victims, or implant the language of he and his kin to speak to the flock. This coupled with his endless quest for knowledge make him a dangerous being. Generals can call upon his endless knowledge to get valuable tactical insight, to the point of near divination. Can be resisted by non-faithful who are of sufficient mental capacity to sense the psychic prying and cut it off.
  2. The Whispering One: Sheoldred's powers lie in deceit, and draw power from ambition. She manipulates death and one's corruption. She can either corrupt your body and kill you directly, or corrupt your very soul and warp your morality into her own. She uses this to torture her victims, and while her compatriot Jin-Gitaxias simply looks and learns, she takes joy in tearing out your thoughts. Non-faithful may resist through intense adherence to their deity, or intense endurance.
  3. The Endless Flame: Urabrask's power stems from passion and industry. He spurns his followers to seek their own way, disregarding any rules and regulations. The ultimate goal for him is to have no goal. Urabrask can manipulate flames - both literal and metaphorical. He will stoke the flames in your heart as well as keep his Great Forges alight for eons. He can cause beings of hive-mind societies to suddenly think fondly of individuality as well as spurn workers to passionately enjoy their jobs. Generals can call upon the power of Urabrask to give enthralling speeches and increase morale substantially. Non-faithful can resist the passionate urges for individuality by being substantially controlled by their masters.
  4. Nature's Fury: Vorinclex is a voracious being, who rose to the top through tooth and claw, becoming the pinnacle of evolution by sheer will. Nature always finds a way, and so Vorinclex can bestow upon his followers the ability to instantly destroy artifacts new and old or assume enormous strength. Soldiers can call upon the strength of Nature to enhance themselves or destroy foreign relics. Can be resisted, relative to the power Vorinclex possesses (determined by how close he is to manifesting on the plane). Cannot destroy extraplanar Synthetics without sufficient power.
  5. Law and Order: Elesh Norn's scriptures are vague, and brilliantly manipulative. She sets rules, taxes, levies, and codes where others do not. She speaks of sacrifice and greater good, encouraging those who follow her to fight and die for the Phyrexian cause. She can smite the unholy ones and relics by outright erasing their existence, or bless the holy and fortify their resolve to perform extraordinary acts of bravery. Cannot outright smite deities.


Outsider: The Crusaders

  • They are a race of monsters created from blood and sinew, drafted by Jin-Gitaxias and manufactured by Urabrask specifically to serve as front-line warriors and Praetorian Guards. They possess Urabrask's ability to manipulate flames both literal and metaphorical, as well as Sheoldred's ability to manipulate the corruption around them. They swing fast and hit first, cleaving any who stand in their way with cold efficiency (and excessive brutality).

Flag: [WIP]


Leader: Eli Wallace


Government Type: Representative Republic, led by Monarch (Parliament and King)


Economic Model: Laissez-faire Capitalist


Economic Tier: Scaled 10-1, 1 being best. Mod determined.


Nation Bonus: The Geass

  • Eli Wallace's rise to power was not clean, nor was it without strife. A power was granted to him by the Praetors, specifically Sheoldred, known as the Geass. Her terms was to bring up a nation that would give faith to Phyrexia and allow them the power to take over the multiverse in order for Eli Wallace to attain the Power of the King. The Geass manifests in the people of Phyrexia who cut deals with Sheoldred, offer themselves as experiments to Jin-Gitaxias, display individuality or passion worthy of Urabrask's praise, pray for or show great strength to Vorinclex, or devote themselves to Elesh Norn's scriptures. They range from outright mind-control, to memory-shaping, to telepathy, even to clairvoyance and future-prediction.

History:


The Nation of Phyrexia wasn't always ruled by the pseudo-democratic government it is ruled by now, nor was it always Phyrexia. It was originally ruled by a cruel and ruthless king, who was a warmonger the likes of which the world wasn't prepared to face. The man's ancestors had established the throne in a violent protest that laid siege to the government buildings and annihilated the entire chain of command. In the chaos, they usurped power and created the groundwork for the 'democratic monarchy' that now rules Phyrexia. The most recently passed King was challenged by his sons multiple times, never being defeated in debate or duel. One son was a mere child, who grabbed a firearm to slay his corrupt father. The boy was beaten mercilessly by the guards, and dumped in the ocean to die. The ruthlessness of this king extended onto the battlefield, who mustered every force he could possibly command into blitzkrieg-esque operations on nearby nations to force them to surrender and expand his influence. Years after the final challenge and the exile of the failed assassin-son, a cult arose in the bowels of its cities that saw rise of a man known as Exemplum Emmeria. The 'Paragon of Emmeria' saw the threat in the king, and made a single public statement: "We will kill King Wallace III."


Exemplum Emmeria promised justice, he promised freedom, and he promised an end to the fascist regime that ruled Emmeria with an iron fist. To do so, he called upon the power of a pantheon known as 'The Praetors of Phyrexia' or 'Phyrexia' for short. The king, Sir Jacob Wallace III, was at first amused. However his princes and generals fell or betrayed him, one at a time. They were killed on the field of battle by insubordination, stolen into the ranks of the cult on the eve of battle, or brutally slaughtered in the peace of their own homes. Death found any who opposed Exemplum. As Exemplum's power grew, the King began to falter. Military orders were hectic, fearful, almost as if the great king feared a single man who hid behind a mask.


Slowly, the world watched as King Wallace III fretted about on the global stage. During one of his speeches, he was approached by Exemplum personally, who handed him a pistol and ordered him to simply die. Committing suicide in a state of hysteria on international television, King Wallace III died in the public eye. Exemplum removed his mask, revealing himself to be Eli Wallace, the prince who was exiled for his failure to kill his father so many years ago. He announced that the vile and corrupt nation of Emmeria was to be rebuilt, arising as a phoenix with the name Phyrexia.


Unique Unit: Leviathan Submersible Aircraft Carrier

  • The Submersible Aircraft Carrier is the epitome of the old England's naval superiority, developed by the late King Wallace III's research division. The Leviathan model aircraft carriers are designed to load up with as many troops and planes as possible, then go under and vanish into the ocean until they reveal themselves to deploy their payload. Massive ships, the Leviathan aircraft carriers will become Princes of a new Hell all their own and command the darkest of oceans, where no light may ever reach them.
