Anyone who wants in is welcome to join as long as i can see a character stats first. It probably won't matter what you are, but i like to think ahead a little.
I like the idea of a demi god, but one that needs to be let on gently to the idea of being one so as to be able to judge right from wrong and be fair and just, not just impartial if you know what i mean. They need to see the uses of good andf evil adn choose for themselves which they are to be.
This means that we could have someone who the goods are depending on as well as the earth sort of idea. I like the idea of balance and an equilibrium. So if the character goes one way, lots of people will die but the earth will resect itself, adn if they go the other the balance of the pantheon of gods will by upset and there will be a heavenly war.
Just an idea.
Another wa that the story starts as a child and we skip years adn things so we can track the growth of a hero thruogh time. That means that who ever plays the charatcer will have to be able to play a childrens role as well. Unless we all play the charcter so we can see how that pans out?
A bit completcated i know but you all might be able to understand it.
This my character anyway. He is kinda new and i'll need to build him up a bit but i have a prtetty good picture in my head of him so here we go.
Name:Ra
Age:Unknown
Appearance: 6'5" Very muscly. One side of his face is covered in tattoos, as is most of his body. These tattos are the left overs of the re-animation and re-generation of his body asfter he killed himself.
his clothes are mostly black or brown leather with silver clasps and buckles. He has big boots, often covered in mud as he spends a lot of time travelling by foot, rather than horse. He does not get tired easily and so it is quicker for him to run than to use a horse.
He is totally bald and has only a beard that is asingle plat, about 8" long. In this beard is woven golden thread. He has deep , dark eyes, sunken in a hard lined skull.
Weapons: He carrys a long and a shaort sword, the long on his left, the short on his right. He needs no sheild. The swords are not hisweapon of chose for he also carrys a double headed battle axe. The axe also has a spike between the blades. He also has palm daggers in sheaths up his sleeves. These are handy for blow that no one expects.
Other: He has the mastery of fire. He can not make but he can control it. He is resitstant to it. Fire ot him is a weapon and also a protector for him. To add an extra edge to ghis axe he can coat the blades in wax and weild a flaming axe. This delivers a merciful stroke as the blades get hot enough to carterize the wound as it is made. He will only do this in battle as he does not like killing. He means to deliver a killing sdtroke then he will do, but he will not give anyone the indecency of having their blood spilled to the ground. He kills only at need rather than for pleasure or because it is the easiest option.
He was a suicide, sent back to release all sucided souls from their purgatory state, neither here nor there. The help of a god is needed and no gods will help, but as the one is a bit of a demi god he thinks they might be able to help.
Thats it. I know its not very good at the moment but it leaves interesting piossiblities.
I was also thinking of using the idea of the sucide souls as an army of the undead, like the one that Hercules has to fight. I also think there is something like in Nordic tales, but i will have to have another look at that.
I won't be able to post for a little while, but i will see what i can do. Anyone else is welcome to set the scene or whatever until i can post. I'll jump in wherever you lot have got to. Sound ok?
