Ye Are Gods (Sign-up and OOC)

[Reimu Hakurei]

Law can mean a lot of things. I see my patron god of the Ancaps as lawful.

That is my point.

(Also Hades can totally leave the underworld)

There's no hard rule like in other mythologies but it might as well be since it's so hyper frowned upon.

 

[Naga The Serpent]

Just for clarity that does align you with the Sun.

She doesn't like talking about it, but her momentary anger at Azahiel was greater.

???
They literally invited him to stuff regularly. When he got stuck with that arrow they treated him amicably enough, and he was supposed to be around when he snatched Persephone.

It's him who doesnt like leaving, not them that don't like him leaving.

Sure!

So it was some Magnus the Red sorta stuff?

 

[Naga The Serpent]

So it was some Magnus the Red sorta stuff?

Yeah, pretty much. Her one true problem is with the Sun, but other conflicts can arise and get her more heated.

 

[Draco]

I 100% believe the logic is that the Sun is the Sun and all there is is the Sun. The Sun is the law and World; hyper individualism. So rather than chaotic vs law it was Law vs Law.

That I can see.

I mean Azahiel objectively bears like zero fault for whatever Dayman got up to before he even stopped being half-asleep anyway. He just seared things because he couldn't even conceive "something beyond himself" existed at all, so he just didn't care to control anything.

Only when he woke up fully did he go "Oh, huh, should proooobably stop doing that. I guess?" and he still forgets other things even are there or have opinions that may differ from his at times.

While he didn't tell Dayman to burn the world, Azahiel also didn't take the time to try and make him understand that there are small things that don't much like being burned alive. He bears a level of responsibility for those deaths for his inaction, both as someone who was there and the guy who wanted to be in charge, as it is the leader's job to punish his subordinates when they step out of line.

Since Perzawlkhan is one of two gods who took action against Shahrivar burning the land, she respects Sahira because she helped stave off the burning, and doesn't share that respect for the other gods who sat by. Azahiel has double inaction, so she does bear him more ill will than the others, but not enough not to fight the Sun directly.

That makes sense.

I imagine Amenti was sleeping while the Sun was still burning everything into nothingness.

 

[Shipmaster Sane]

It seems like a big thing with the mighty sky Gigaduck is judgement, rather stern judgement, without much room for "excuses". Which does kind of fit the quasi Native American quasi middle eastern eagle god aestetic.

 

[RandomNormie]

I mean, kind of hard to try and make someone stop when he doesn't even realize you exist, but ok?

 

[Shipmaster Sane]

I mean, kind of hard to try and make someone stop when he doesn't even realize you exist, but ok?

Well, he's not omnipotent, I doubt it would be harder to get him to stop than any rogue god doing harm on purpose, i.e. hit him hard enough.

 

[Draco]

Nah, you just need a really big flame retardant baseball bat.

 

[Reimu Hakurei]

At that early stage, it may not have been actually possible to deal with a giant fireball floating around in the Heavens coherently. Everyone was brand new, completely disorganized, and lacked any experience or tools.

Could've and probably was the first big crisis of the Gods as a result.

Just whoosh up there and blast him with god-magic. Certainly difficult, but any confrontation between the powers of two gods would be.

 

[Yukitama]

I feel the sun in such a state would have been a thing that’d require a dedicated and organized effort to parlay with or fight. Sun’s a big deal on its own and things were really too chaotic to make too much sense of I think. Especially since we seem to have a bit of a heliocentric lean with how many gods *ahem* revolve, or came about separately due to his mere presence.

 

[Naga The Serpent]

I mean, yes? Sahira took him and pushed him somewhere else for the half the day. Seems weird to fixate on something like that.

 

[Reimu Hakurei]

How do you suggest reaching the sun? If you reached him, how do you avoid being burned by his sweltering rays on the approach? With what kind of God-Magic? Who would do so? At this point he was less a God, and more like a materialized force of nature.

Who would organize the effort? How would the Gods communicate coherently to work toward this task? There are a lot of logistics to this that I imagine would make it more difficult then what you're saying it is. I think it should've been a more meaningful moment then "a rando god went up there and punched him".

I'm not saying it'd be impossible. We're Gods, this is very doable. I just think it should've been more of an event to react to him initially. Especially with how disorganized and inexperienced the early Gods as a whole were compared to now.

Suggesting it to be so easy kind of dampens the conflict it could bring, along with not being that internally logical. It also kinda brings down the meaning of the Birb Gods actions quite a bit.

So from what I've been able to gather reading through the characters, this is what I've come up with for the list of what gods were on which side of the war:

Rebels:
-War (@FriedCFour)
-Perzawlkhan (me)
-Sahira (@Naga The Serpent)
-Koy (@Leepysheepy)
-Lravitus (@GravitysMomentum)
-Earon (@almostinsane)

Kingsmen:
-Azahiel (@DeTA)
-Tauphys (@Yukitama)
-Shahrivar (@RandomNormie) (I presume, anyway, considering that Perzawlkhan and Sahira being on the same side as him is unlikely.)
-Ti An (@socsod)
-Pestocali (@ConvexAtaraxia)
-Amara (@Blue) (Initially Neutral, took up arms after Amenti's death. Considering War did the deed, I'm assuming she didn't join the rebels.)

Neutral:
-Artis (@FriedCFour)
-Viv (@Have You Seen My Son)
-Aiyami (@khatun)
-Haddock (@GrailKnight)

Uninvolved:
-The Shadow Dancer (@LordSunhawk)

Could Not Determine:
-Amenti (@Reimu Hakurei)
-Grandfather Vaad (@Shipmaster Sane)
-Eudaimon (@Hlaalu Agent)
-Intei (@S'task)
-Khunji (@⚕⚕⚕) (Shocked I managed to get that tag to work.)

Currently at a 6v6 by the end of the war, a little more than half of the gods. These placements seem right to everyone/does anyone in the undetermined category have an idea of what side they'd be on?

I'm remarkably confused, why did you put me on the same side as Azahiel?

And the IC is open: https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/ye-are-gods-ic.778/

I will get to editing the map as well.

Since Perzawlkhan is one of two gods who took action against Shahrivar burning the land, she respects Sahira because she helped stave off the burning, and doesn't share that respect for the other gods who sat by.

Given Koy's portfolio and personality he likely helped mortals through it as well, though his assistance was more likely to be more passive effects like "teach mortals how to make sun resistant clothing and homes" rather than the more active roles others took.
