The Summoning Circle [To Reign In Hell]

Alright, throw me some interesting epithets, concepts, and high-power characters from other media that you like - I want to craft some more peers for you, but I'm struggling right now. Give it time, and I'll have more, but this will speed up the process which is, in turn, good for your games.

You know of my fondness for burning wheels of brass studded with eyes.


....but I would like that for Ashtar's final form.


Having said that; God Machine Chronicles is good for mining.


The I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream videogame is fabulously gribbly in places.


.....and this never fails to inspire.
 
I direct you to the library of Lovecraft that exists on the internet for anything Sloth-related, at least physically-speaking. It's not hard to find so much of his writing out there.
 
Oh yes, I'm well familiar with Lovecraft. I was just aiming for starting points to extrapolate from.


That said, Sanrael now gets to rub shoulders with Y'golonac.
 
I approve of this. Y'golonac interests me.

Muhaha has brought light of this game to me, I don't know how this game slipped by me (Wizard must have been making me too busy). I am really interested in joining this game.
 
You looking for human characters with which to build Demons from, or characters that might as well already be Demonic? Because I can do both.


Human styled:

  • Lu Bu: Historical badass known as the greatest warrior in all of China during the Late Han Dynasty, he was also known for betraying and killing three separate lords who adopted him. His strength with a bow and a spear was only equaled by the speed of his horse, Red Hare.
  • The Children of Loki: From Norse Mythology, this includes, Fenrir, Jormangandr and Hel, but also other oddities like the 8 legged Horse Sleipnir, Vali and Nari. Hell, Loki himself, in his eternal imprisonment would make for a good demon.
  • Theodore Roosevelt: Because there was never, and hasn't been since, a politician as badass as this.
  • Calvin Candie: Watch "Django Unchained", and tell me this guy isn't some sort of minor Count.
  • Judge Doom: The antagonist from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Nightmarish, selfish, and utterly terrifying.
  • Nicholas Cage: As Nicholas Cage.
  • Kratos: From "God of War", eh, fights everything and doesn't afraid of it.
  • GLaDOS/S.H.O.D.A.N.: Both horrible presences from beyond the veil, both for different reasons.
  • League of Legends: Any of the more serious business characters make a good base for characters, such as Kha'Zix, Diana, Swain, Thresh, the list goes on.
  • Skullgirls: A fucking goldmine if you ask me.


Pure Demons:

  • Anything out of the first Urotsukidoji. Don't watch the sequels. Ever.
  • Claymore: The Awakened Beings from the end of the series, and later on in the manga. Speaking of which, you really need to read it if you haven't.
  • Berserk: The Godhand, and their Apostles.
  • Full Metal Alchemist: The Homunculi, and Father. From Brotherhood, not the later series.
  • Devilman: Surprisingly violent, and filled with monstrous creatures, I'm sure Grey would find PLENTY of horrible gribblies in that.


I could go on, but these are the first things that come to mind.

I have a question Grey, in the second post of the Core concepts, there appears to be a mention of Envy circle but then it disappears. Is Envy a playable circle and this is just a typo or is it still in the works mechanically? If its still in the works I won't bother you to release it, as I have other ideas, I was just curious.

No-one was playing an Envy demon at the time he wrote it up, so nothing was added (but this can be fixed right quick).


The addition of the system to demons is pretty new, actually, and To Reign in Hell will hopefully show whether or not it will be successful. There is also a serious potential for us to play some serious badasses....I definitely want to get my Pride demon higher in power level to see how the abilities and aesthetics change.


It's all coming from the phrase; the more things change, the more they stay the same. Demons are prone to stagnation, and hopelessly bound to their particular Circle, so they eventually, at the highest possible levels, lose the ability to learn anything new; they can only progress with what they already have.


The attributes will eventually go the same way as the skills; you probably noticed that "out of Circle" abilities cost way more, and this will focus our character creation and progress, as well as encourage inter-mixing between the group as skill sets differ greatly.

Envy has now been added.
 
I was originally going to release a Sloth Character first, but my Envy character has caught my interest. So who knows, but both are on their way.


Edit - It looks like I spoke too soon. I might have to make my Envy character into another circle. As I thought the mechanics were different :(
 
After some decision and planning. I am going to be a Lust creature that wanders alongside Wizard's character. Wizard wished me to post this to notify you Grey.


It will be up soon.

Linking characters together always makes for fun :D
