Questions

[Eoraptor]

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

What counts as a "higher race" necessarily? Can they be created? Are they chosen by you?

[Rock]

I also would like to know what a higher race is.

[Eoraptor]

A higher race is basically a species who's natural powers are only trumped by the gods themselves. Basically this worlds equilivent of angels, demigods, and high mages that more often than not chose to serve the god who created them. As for examples that you might know from Song of Creation, well they're obviously the dragons, Mr. Rock's Vampires and Sun Warriors, and to a lesser extent the Trecan's and the dragon children.

As for your other questions yes they can be created. However I would like to discuss the creation of such races and their roles with whomevers creating them via PM. As such races will in no doubt play big roles in the overarching storyline and I would like to know how exactly they're going to change the game before I approve them.

[Rock]

Can I make my own topics for my nations?

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Better question. Can Rocky be a mod? Night will vouch for him.

[Eoraptor]

Yes, to both.

[Rock]

Can my nations be approved then please? XD

[Eoraptor]

Just did.

[Rock]

Thank you. I'll get the locations up tomorrow.

[Rock]

Umm, I can't make folders o.o

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Now you can.

[Rock]

Yay! I'll get to that in a moment.

[Derek Stilinski-Hale]

Where would a safe place for me to start with Willa?

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Since Elderos so far seems to be the most friendly country thanks to it's trading and tolerance I would say Elderos. But then again it is mine so leave it to me to try and advertise the place.

[Rock]

Ferros is just about as safe as Elderos, but it's the better of the two.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Rock. The least you can do is admit your trying to promote your own nation. But Rock is right. Elderos and Ferros are about as safe as each other give or take minor problems. I'd also say neither one is better, but that's just me trying to be confident about my trashy little nation while Rocky's nations gleam in all their splendor.

[Rock]

Yes, fear their large hoard of gold and their crazy artist who make over the top artsy weapons.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

I need to make the queen and crown princess of the wildlings soon... hey Rocky, you wanna make some more royalty?

[Rock]

Later. I'm playing videa games.

[Astra]

*stares at nation creation afraid* What is that? Where is planet creation? So lost and confused

[Rock]

It's all one giant world now, so instead of worlds it's nations.

It's back when the world was one.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Nation basically replaced planet. It's the same thing pretty much, but this takes place on the one world before Tenderis was banished and Firefly died. Which means lot of spioder action and the goddess of life trying to smack him in the face with a broom.... that was way to vivid and image in my mind... Aileas smacking a giant spider with a broom.

[Astra]

oh yeah

[Astra]

How many years between the war and Song of Creation so I know how much to age Loki down

[Eoraptor]

Thousands, how many I'm not sure. Loki would probably be a child or a teenager at this point.

[Astra]

Child works. I'll do that for him

[Eoraptor]

Yes, we have a couple demon like races that I'm sure can mate with humans. You should check out the race Creation thread to see what works and if none of them do your always can just make your own race.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

What demon like races do we actually have? The closest I can really think of is the Etherion...

[Eoraptor]

Yeah that what I was thinking of or I guess that beast or wildings could be considered demons in a sense as Japan had half animal creatures that they called demons.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

I suppose certain kinds of beastlings and wildlings. The most likely would be the Etherion though, and those are kind of hard to pull off if you want them half something else. Doable, but it's gonna take a more refined character creation process to work around the lore and find the loop holes.

[Eoraptor]

Yeah, writing an Etherion is tough as we learned last night so I'll help him with this character once he gets on.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Of course I'll be willing to lend a hand. Etherions are just that one race...

[Eoraptor]

Yeah they're like dragons in the sense that it takes skill to write them just right.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Okay. So that doesn't really fit any of the species we have available, but you can always make your own species. If you don't see something that would work then you can go ahead and make something that will work. So the real question is do you want to put the extra effort into making your own species for this character or do you wanna scrap the idea and do something easy. Either way I'll lend you whatever help that I can, but at the moment this character seems to rest majorly on your shoulders and how much effort you want to put into them.

[Eoraptor]

I'm also going to be making a religion for the death god Mortus if you want to have him be apart of that crowd.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Izar in that case doesn't sound like the best match. Her followers are all assassins and thieves, not a one with good moral ideals.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Okay. So what are you looking for the most in grounds of morals?

The Concord focuses on peace and a ban on killing but that wouldn't work.

None of Rocks really apply I think...

There is always The Followers of Life. The Followers of Life focus on both the short frailness of life along with it's lasting power. The group has a great respect for life which makes them shun things like suicide and killing for sport. However they also understand how life can be cruel and things go out of balance if the circle is not completed so killing out of mercy or self preservation, such as killing an enemy or animal for food, is completely allowed. If anything I think they might be the most honorable group so far, often focusing on dealing kindnesses to those who deserve it and dishing out punishment to the wretched.

Then again it might be my bias since this one is mine.

[Rock]

Izar's philosophy is to live for yourself and only yourself (With a exception being support your lovely goddess Izar and fellow nocturnals) If he wanted to live for himself as a hero then he could. People could hate him for being a nocturnal, thinking him a theif. While Izar might not like him because his heroic and goody too shoes nature might not gilet her as much tribute as thieves.

[Night ~People Sometimes Scare Me~]

Yeah, that's pretty much the Followers of Life see the world. There is value in every life and killing should only be reserved for the moments where it needs to be done. My little life goddess is a strange one in how she isn't opposed to death as much as she should be. It's definitely something reflected in her followers. Life, death, both need to be for one to exist. And sometimes death needs to be done to protect those who can't protect themselves.

[Eoraptor]

Sure you can make him the last or just one of a very rare breed in face one of the current storylines going on is that dragons being as rare as they are have run out of breeding partners and have started taking in mortal children as a means to preserve their legacy.

[Astra]

As far as I know, considering the other group. There is no limit except on gods

[Eoraptor]

Yes the current limit is four gods but other than that feel free to make as many characters as you want.

[Astra]

Four gods? When did it change?

[Eoraptor]

I forget, sometime late in the Song I believe

[Astra]

Because in the god application thing here it says three

[Eoraptor]

Okay I guess three then sorry

[sucre'd fiend]

Is there a character workshop?

[Eoraptor]

No so just post your character and label it a work in progress until it is finished.

[sucre'd fiend]

okay; I only ask because I like to plan my characters out before I make them and I didn't think I should clog up the character creation thread with the brainstorming
