I mean, I literally did leave it at one statement, and someone disagreed, so I defended my position with a second post, and they disagreed again, and I defended further.

If... someone disagrees with you... you're supposed to defend your position. Obviously. And if they continue to contend, you further defend your position. This is like, basic human communication.

No, realistically, you're supposed to is figure things out in good faith and try to reach some common ground by understanding the points and values with the other. This is GOOD communication. You did not participate in good communication.

But, I'll follow my own example from here onward.

I am thinking one last god item could be a ring, or set of rings, Viv wears. Though i am still working out the kinks of what they would do. I hope to finish that sooner than later, however! :D

And if anyone has some fun suggestions, i'd be game.

Let me think on some recommendations but she has a lot of room for cool stuff. A Hades cap sort of deal immediately springs to mind.

There are items I can make while I was alive, and ones I could make while I was dead. I think given your Goddess' metamorphosis over the wars ending(kinda similar to my own in a way) it'd be cool if you had a normal item from before I died, and then a SPOOKY EVIL ONE from after I died.

The registry will be going up once I finish formatting it, within the next half hour or so. Up to the GMs if they wanna threadmark the thing.

Ooooh! One she kind of hides from because it reminds her of things and another she requested while angrydere?

Unbreakable rope for the Yandere goddess so people can't escape?

Could be like that net Vulcan used to capture Mars and Venus together. She was a love Goddess. That'd have some interesting implications as a thief Goddess too.

...I like this idea more than I should, to be honest. A ribbon/rope that used to signify bonds of marriage now converted into a tool of thievery and kidnapping XD

Maybe an Aphrodisiac? Or something that sways the judgement of others, relating to the "Temptation" part of her.

Potions don't seem like they'd be in the purview of the fallen forge god, I don't think. Aiyami trying to slip a love potion into someone's ambrosia would probably have to involve her stealing it from someone first, methinks. (Which fits, to be fair.)

Ah, sorry, I didn't explain it very well! I meant more in the "hypnotic" sense with some sort of object relating to that.

Godly Implements Registry

The Shadow Dancer,
Perfect Rapier. Unbreakable Loot Always in Tune. Everfull mug of <insert whatever alcoholic beverage the Shadowed Dancer is currently wishing to inhibe here>. Need names, then I can do a writeup if so desired.

Earon,
Trident that disolves into water, enhances Earon's control over the sea, pierces any armor, and changes length at his will. I'll do a writeup if desired, but also needs a proper name first.

Intei,
None yet.

Artis,
Contract Pen that binds the agreements of the Gods. Needs a name and then I can do a writeup if so desired.

Haddock,
The Vorpal Sword
A weapon crafted from the pure and volatile dream-like energies which sprung forth in the beginning of all things. This silver longsword is a weapon which, forged at request of Haddock the Dreamer, might slice and cleave through any substance. It is because of this, that the Vorpal Sword alone, when wielded by the Lord of Poppies and his champions, could drive back the nightmarish aspects of His dream realm. For the nightmares of mortal creatures and god alike were made of that same volatile substance as the blade and Haddock's realm. Due to its unique nature, it could be said that this pristine blade might well be precursor and kin to the grim dagger which could slay gods. Fortunately, Haddock and his chosen have never had need to take the blade against other deities. For some strange reason, The Vorpal Sword is known to go snicker-snack when used.

The Cup of Dreams
Second item given to Haddock by Lady of the forge, a gift more than anything else and a symbol of the friendship these deities held between one another. While the shape of the relic is rather simple for a chalice, it is masterfully crafted and inlaid with swirling and tangling vines of ivy, blooming poppy flowers, and the round faces of owls. Filled with a concoction of Haddock's own make, this potent mixture of lotus, poppy, and other strange substances, it is a tool and gift given to those mortals Haddock's Avatar might deem worthy of its secrets, or being the butt of some cruel joke. One who sups from the chalice, or draws deep of its intoxicating fumes, will be faced with the deepest recesses of their mind. Dark and beautiful things make themselves known, and a strong mind might make its way into the realm of dreams while still waking

Sahira,
Ethereal Silver Chariot
The foremost among her panoply is, of course, her adored super-chariot — a shape assumed by the supreme lunar disk seen by mortals when they dare glance up at the sky, blazing across the heavens every night and as much her superior body as the mortal-like form she chooses to wear. It represents her station as “the Great moon” in its bestest purest form, the soft aerial glory that stands slightly above the highest point, forever winning races against the Sun.

The Holy Grail
A cup of seemingly endless coffee used to divine the 'correct' future out of an endless number of possibilities. It allows the user to observe the universe itself, built of seven rings representing Creation. Notably it incorporates the concept of the Heavens, allowing one to view cosmology externally. In a way, it allows for Sahira to be 'higher' than even the Sun itself. It is also the source of the 'Elixir of immortality'. 'Drinking' from it will grant immortality to all, mortal, servitor, beast, or even inanimate objects. Usually this includes a deal with the Underworld to ensure the cycle of Death goes on unimpeded.

Loom of Fate
A loom with each string representing the lives of those who live(exist) and will live(exist). Intersections and tangles represent the 'Fate' of gigantic scenarios or far reaching outcomes- such as war. It also acts as something like a clock for lifespan, as a thread will snap when something dies. As it's a loom, it can be woven and altered to the Moon Goddess' pleasure. Though this is strongly discouraged, it is usually used in the creation of important Prophecies, such as the creation of Heroes.

Wheel of Fortune
A wheel with each spoke containing a natural cycle of the world. Unlike the Loom of Fate, alterations typically have far reaching and terrible consequences. It is a record keeper of creation, so it can also be used to monitor the world as a whole. Irregularities may result in messages being sent to a God with authority over the given issue. It was used during the War of the Gods to mitigate critical damage to the mortal world, but was also coveted as a useful reconnaissance tool.

Shahrivar,
Empyrean Golden Chariot
The first among his panoply is, of course, his much-beloved chariot — a shape assumed by the solar disk seen by mortals when they dare glance up at the sky, traversing the heavens every day and as much his body as the mortal-like form he chooses to wear. It represents his station as “the sun” in its purest form, the blazing glory that stands at the highest point, forever embroiled in a race with the moon. It goes without saying that it is a sturdy thing of excellent make, as should be expected from its creator’s standards. It moves like the light it emits, with blinding speed and transcendent grace, drawn by magnificent horses of flame. If a course is chosen, it will arrive in an instant as the chariot moves with a speed that can only be surpassed by “Celerity itself.” However, its true purpose as a symbol of divine authority is to engrave and glorify the truth that “the sun’s rays illuminate all corners of this world, without exception,” no matter how great the obstacle or perilous the journey. So long as those eyes that can see through the world fix themselves in a destination, it is undoubtedly “a place that can be reached."

Brilliant Thousandfold Armament
Fundamentally speaking, it can be considered the symbol of his destructive power and his aspect as the god presiding over warfare — the culmination and refinement of the raw destructive force of the Sun that scorches the land with its flames, sparing none. Forged from his flames and imbued with his power by that Goddess, they are beautiful instruments of carnage. The first proper “weapon” from which other armaments trace their conceptual origins, rather than some improvised object. Normally it adheres to a single configuration of a golden blade, but its forms shifts and morphs like flowing gold in order to accommodate the preferences of its wielder — sometimes it is a sword or a mace, other times it is a spear and shield, then it might become a bow. Fundamentally, one must understand that the same truth that applies to his chariot is also found dwelling in the weapon — anything he can “see”, he can obviously strike as a matter of course. However, the true potential lies in that same authority as a war god that denies senseless slaughter and instead embodies directed violence, presiding over the strategic, disciplined side of warfare. Understand your objective, understand the strengths you must overcome and the strengths you can muster, craft a path to reach that goal alone and then pour the entirety of your power toward that singular purpose to bring about its completion. In simpler terms, an “all-purpose, specially-made weapon.” Some say that the blade wielded by his avatar is the "shadow" cast by his own upon the world.

Golden Gaze of the Undeceived
The final artifacts of his panoply — his eyes. For all intents and purposes, they seem indistinguishable from normal ones besides the golden but most seem to just ascribe that to his own quirks. In truth, it is an artificial replacement and the authority of “sight” bestowed upon the God of Truth. More appropriately, it can be considered the true parallel existing between that goddess that governs cycles and fate and himself as her opposite. Fate naturally implies possibility, the rise of different branches that can give birth to a myriad conclusions. However, his own gaze is different — rather than a gaze that opens possibilities, as the God of Truth, it is instead one that oversees and confirms, cutting away what is deemed unnecessary and moving ever onward. In simpler terms, if that goddess can turn a 0 into a 1, he is the one that turns a 1 into a 0.

Khunji,
None yet.

Viv,
Ecxe’lus
An object which at base takes the form of a caduceus-style staff, albeit the three serpents wound around the shaft of this one look alien and monstrous in this case. In its active form, this divine tool looks seemingly like a lump of some alien liquid metal that behaves as if it is alive. It is filled with Viv’s power and is bound to her being as well as a non-vital but literal extension of herself, so even if it is destroyed Viv can reform it once more as naturally and easily as a mortal breathes in air. She can summon it to her just as easily as well. The metal itself can be formed into any shape or form at Viv’s will, able to stretch out over even long distances by stretching itself thin. Its durability is high, and by altering the surface tension and density of it the metal can be used for various battle and non-battle purposes with great versatility.

Cels’inar
An unbracing blade forged from the heart of a dying star that Viv collected, an alien material, which is wickedly sharp on both sides of the blade. It was also built with a “hook” on the end, used for catching more stars out of the innumerable amounts of them in the heavens for Viv’s usage with a mere exertion of her will or authority. This functions can of course be used for shaping/making constellations, creating beautiful meteor showers, or...well...literally throwing actual stars at others as orbs of super-destructive celestial force/power. The blade is also able to tear open portals to different places with a mere swing of its blade as well, a thing very fitting of Viv’s nature as the goddess of travel. Finally, the blade can literally cut anything its blade touches, cleaving through the strongest metal as easily as if it was cutting into the empty air.

Azahiel,
Arclight Crown
A gleaming diadem tied to the status of the bearer. ‘Perfection’ given form. It is not an item that grants authority, but instead an emblem that reminds subjects of the authority that it’s bearer carries. As such, there is only one such being fit for wearing it.

Infernal Throne
The seat of god’s. Or rather, the seat of a single god. A symbol of authority over all of creation, which only the rightful king may sit upon. Those who claim to be above ‘authority’ itself find themselves judged before ‘power’, from which authority is derived. Strangely enough, Rankulos has been seated upon the Infernal Throne for the enormity of time...

Tauphys,
Gegenesis Torch
All things burn with life, and all things turn to ash as they are spent. To burn bright, to fuel themselves and erupt into greater and greater flames. Born of the flames of a god of flaming life, and the god of ash-making consumption. The spear of flames held by Tauyphs is that which brings out the full life of those who wield it or are struck by it. To burn out in a glorious blaze. It is either something that can dangerously overclock one’s self by setting one’s self aflame, or something that immolates and destroys that with great life.

Primordial Mudhide
A Utero-Hide that is in a sense a primordial womb. Its real effect is that of imbuing life into whatever is placed within it. Even something as simple as bullets and boulders wrapped in it becomes a new lifeform, a new growth out from the ancient ocean from which life sprung out. It was used to help form the Life-Lands, and is otherwise often used as a tool to smite and punish. Sending a new beast upon the lands, what descends can be blessing or scourge.

Eudaimon,
A weapon that is excellent at being a weapon, being the God of Virtue. Need name and writeup or at least synopsis for my own writeup.

Ti An,
Sword
An executioner’s blade. A tool solely for war. It has one job and it does it well. You can tell by the name. I need a synopsis to do a writeup, if you want it.

Blank-Eyed Seal of the Heavenly Verdict
Extremely large scroll that comes up to the height of an average adult male human. Inscribing desired laws for targets will cause them to take effect. If non-sentient, the law is absolute. If capable of thought, the law is a powerful compulsion and demand, with the consequences for breaking it being judged in the domain of Ti An herself. Cannot contract onto gods or other Avatars. Effect is most prominent on followers of Ti An and in areas blessed by Ti An and her followers.

Eternal Heart's Equilibrium
A pair of scales that judge any being brought before them. Ones heart is weighed vs the crimes one has committed. For example, the murder weapon would be weighted against the Heart of a murderer. If balance is broken, then Judgment will be passed.

Aiyami,
None yet.

Lravitus,
None yet.

Amara

Pestocali,
Waker of the World’s Dream
A chef's knife. In its performance as a chef's knife, it can be said to have reached the pinnacle- despite the ordinary need for a variety of knives, the form of the blade is capable of freely altering itself for one's needs, whether they be as a boning knife, a cheese knife, a spatula, or so on. However, it is fundamentally limited to cooking instruments.The blade itself is endowed with the nature of the form it has currently taken. Most commonly, this refers to 'cutting'. This endowment enforces the conceptual reality based upon 'the world the knife applies to' upon the exterior world, and subsequently uses that as leverage for actualization of its own concept. To expand upon the prior example of 'cutting', it first appends the concept of 'can be cut', then imposes the principle of 'absolutely shall be cut'. Afterwards, the status of the target becomes that of 'has been cut'.The knife handle is simultaneously utilized as a locus for the divine power of Pestocali, due to the nature surrounding its creation. In other words, a method of amplification. This premise can be expanded upon through simultaneous use of the blade's abilities.

Blackened Wick's Vessel of a Transient Nothing
A cooking pot. More specifically, a sort of dutch oven. The interior of the pot is a self-contained 'world' not dissimilar to an otherworld in its nature, and its size is capable of being adjusted by its user as desired. The interior world of the pot is separated from the conventional time axis, operating simultaneously as a form of storage compartment and a place where such things as perfect maintenance of temperature are a mere matter of course. Through invoking the pot's true power, all existences within the pot's world are assessed and integrated into one another- this is not 'creating a sum of parts' but rather 'creating a new whole'- the nature of this combination is thus determined by the user. It is not a simple alchemical process, but rather an enforcement of the reality of the pot upon those things within it.

Anthropic Principle Ignition Formula
A burner. Unlike the prior two constructs, this has been permanently installed into The Restaurant's kitchen, and is incapable of being transferred without significant effort. Lines of karma connecting both to the Dreamlands and the Underworld run through it. In its function as a burner, it is expectedly first-rate: range of heat, degree of fine control, and the like can all be said to have shattered standard limits. Fundamentally, the burner is a 'sun' which generates energy both through a combination of conversion from belief to power and through the standard processes of such. While it is not apparent at first glance, the power source of the burner is utilized for running much of The Restaurant's day-to-day operations. Through simultaneous use of Pestocali's divine abilities upon the area, an absurd result can be said to be displayed.

Koy,
Cool magic compass that always leads to where you desire/what you want. Need a name, then I can do a writeup if desired. I also recommend a bag of holding!

War,

Vaad,

Perzawlkhan,

I'll get you some names later, like tomorrow, heading to bed shortly.

Gotcha! I just put it up now since the IC was up, I'll update it as you guys send me in names and anything else you'd like.

That aside, I'll probably go over those mechanics I had in mind for making god-weapons when I'm a bit less tired. Sorry for the delay on that.
 
Elementals

Well-known member
Wrote up some of the beast race stuff, and on elemental things. I'll post the beast race stuff once I get some feedback and approval from the gods I've worked with on them. But for now have the Elementals.

Also for those who have yet to discuss an idea and want such a race, or haven't fleshed out their idea with me to a base I can work on please contact me.

Otherwise after much deliberation I have decided on the name of: The Cuttings to refer to the beast races. Going off the idea of planting a cutting of a branch from a tree to grow a new one. Taking a bit of a god's designs for mortal races and creating a primal shadow that waxes and wanes in relation to the civilization they mirror or oppose. At times punishment for mortals to even the scales, and at times tools and vehicles for the god that they were made for.

The creation of Tauphys was a violent rapture and orgy of life. Life that grew and thrived under the sun, only to burn away or wilt as their greed over stretched their limits, or their will to endure and thrive was scorched away by the unforgiving unrelenting world.

He who was born from such conditions in turn understands the current state and the proper cycle that the world settled in. An aberration of excess that regulates it and protects the world. The one who is most fit to understand the problems of such excess, the one who opposes his creation in a sense. Perhaps the true nature of his duties and his responsibilities is the simple wish of that which burned, weak and strong. To be able to thrive, to be allowed a world where they could do their best and reach their limits, whether it was pitiful and small, or something that could shine as bright as the sun.

What then of his pity and interest in a beast that wished to exceed his limits? His Avatar? But that is a story for another time.

The Four Elemental Pillars built into the world, originally termed the World Pillars, carved into the planet from surface to core are an answer to the story of his birth crafted along with Amenti. Composed of a part of every layer of the foundation of the world, and attuned to the very flow of life and sensitive to the essence of the divine. They are that which brings the seasons, and that which balances and adjusts in accordance to the fluctuations of the gods to ensure a stability and reliability in the planet and nature.

While there was worry that with the death of the Forge God that the pillars would collapse or otherwise have some sort of catastrophic reaction. It seems that they have only dug into the planet further. Upon her death the pillars reacted, divine essence and life ripping through the mantle and innards of the planet. These fractures that spread from the pillars when they were however in turn were a blessing in disguise, a release that let them intergrate even further. At this point the poles and the planet cannot be said to be separate existences with the poles a anchor for life itself.

The fractures formed from the death of Amenti are the veins of the planet, already present natural points that opened up to allow a flow that was waiting to be born. These veins, dubbed the leylines carry energy that could be called the collecting sum of life. If the echoes of Amenti are the aftermath records left from a life, then the leylines carry an energized vigour inspired by their passing and life. In a more materialistic sense they could be said to be something that deals with the cycle of life and death, an attribute taken only after the death of one of its creators.

Leeching from divine essence, taking in the sum of life and circulating it back. Eventually all things flow into the world and flow back out. The anchor for those finite, and the attention of those immortal.

An oddity among The Cuttings. Rather than a creation meant to fill the shadow cast by the light of Amenti’s people they are more a shade of Tauphyus himself. A byproduct created by the systems the two created to regulate the world. Born from violent eruptions and build up at the leylines, pressure released from the world and the flow of life. The mini-singularities of elemental and life energy permeate the area around the leylines. A fact often utilized by mortal races and even animals for various reasons. But at times rarely an elemental is born. Not rare, but also not all too often seen. These embodiment of life hold a close relation to the two gods that inadvertently created them, perhaps closer than most mortals and their gods could hope to attain.

Life and death. The four seasons. The twin axes that they lie upon hold various different leanings and emphasis within each elemental and their individual tuning on the spectrum. But a perfect elemental less like a form of nature, and more an embodiment of life itself has been rumored to be something that may yet bloom. Such a thing would without doubt be independent from the two gods, and perhaps be a new kind of existence. But such a fate is uncertain even under the gaze of the Moon.

Would such an existence be good? Or something that would lead to tragedy? Whichever side it lands on, such a thing could only be called terribly beautiful.
