wethelostooc | Personalize a God

In preparation for endgame, the mods will be preparing a suite of gods for characters to rescue from across the multiverse. We are offering here the opportunity to have a god and challenges personalized for you for Part II of endgame. Fill in the form below and one of the mods will respond to you with a god, a world to rescue, and prompts for some of the challenges characters will encounter in their quest. We are offering the opportunity to personalize one god per character (if you have multiple characters, please fill in the form for each of them, individually).

Please fill in the form for your characters by 14 June, 11:59 PM PST. We will be responding with information from the 15 June to 4 July.

If you do not get a personalized god, DO NOT FRET! There will be opportunities to rescue other gods during endgame! This is just for folks who would like us to tailor a god for them.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character Name: John Watson

What is your character's deepest fear?: Having no purpose.

What is your character's most important character trait (in their mind)?: His determination. John will always try his hardest to get something done.

What is your character's greatest strength?: Loyalty

What is your character's greatest weakness?: He's got a temper on him.

What is one thing you have not gotten to do with your character that you want to?: I'd love the chance for Jon's sharpshooting to come into more focus again as something that can help him and that is one of this best skills.

If your character could be an animal, what animal would they choose?: John does not want to be an animal, but he'd probably pick a bird, like a cool as heck hawk.

Pick one of these - forest, mountain, sky, ocean, city, jungle, desert: Desert

Pick one of these - key, chariot, hedge, phone, balloon: Phone

When in the Lost Plane, any Color that your character acts with will take the shape (in outline) of a hawk. Please note that all worlds will be experiencing the following issues: earthquakes, random teleportation around the world, and inhabitants being forgetful. Additionally, the main goals that must be accomplished to save a world are:

Stabilize that world’s leylines;

Find the missing god within their world and touch them with Okota’s Wheel; and

Help/destroy/remove as obstacles the inhabitants in the world that may have their own problems that need assistance or actively hindering your character(s).

God Name: Nayndu
God Aspect: Storms
God Appearance: An enormous winged lion [Source]
World Name: Fuswa

World Inhabitants: Alecani [Source], bipedal winged coyotes. Tricksters and wielders of lightning magic, they can be a little difficult for outsiders to get along with at times. They're clever and canny, though, and very much recognize the crisis their world is facing and will do their best to help...after pulling just one last prank on the unsuspecting visitors.

Basic World Description: A rocky desert land spotted with mesas. Mornings are dry and bright, while afternoons more often than not bring thunderstorms crashing over the open land. Sometimes these storms bring water, causing flash floods in the lowlands; sometimes they bring only the crackle of electricity and the boom of thunder. The alecani live in subterranean homes dug into the sides of the mountains, high enough to be safe from flooding and to provide a decent launching-off point for flight. Flying with the storms is a right of passage not to be undertaken until one is old enough to control and redirect the otherwise deadly lightning. Many of the alecani have speaking tubes installed to connect their homes, allowing them to communicate when the weather keeps them underground.

Notable World Quirks: Any alecani can tell you that temper and tempest are intertwined in Fuswa. When the storms roll in, the lightning strikes where conflict has struck first. Those who live in anger had better take shelter when the lightning comes.

Three Personalized Prompts:
1. The alecani at work on the leylines hardly spare John and company a glance as they emerge from the portal. "No need," says one as he draws a line of sparking electricity across the ground and the buried leyline is pulled along after it. They appear to be successfully fixing their own world without the help of Zephyr's flock, working in tandem to draw the leylines along. They're impatient with any questions or offers of help--condescending, even. They're quite certain John and his ilk don't have a purpose here.

At least, that's the story until one of the leylines stretches and snaps unexpectedly, teleporting half the people present several miles away. They might accept a little help after that.

2. When the storm rolls in, it brings something new this time. The alecani stop their joking and excitement over the coming storm and gape up at the sky in horror as a flock of razor-beaked skeletal birds converge on the gathering of alecani and visitors. There's pandemonium as the alecani scatter; these are monsters of legend that have not been seen in the current residents' lifetime. They come in fast, diving after the fleeing alecani, grabbing at them with cruel talons to carry them away. Lightning flashes from the storm and from the alecani themselves, lighting up the landscape and confusing the senses. It's the worst possible conditions for shooting...but if John wants to help the young alecani being carried away in front of his eyes, there's a clear course of action open to him.

3. Nayndu's great wings blot out the sun as he circles overhead, wreathed in stormclouds, and his feet kick up great clouds of dust and rock when he comes in for a landing nearly on top of John and company. Everyone in the area is pelted with rain and it's difficult to hold one's own and avoid being blown away by the strong winds that surround a god who's still not entirely back to himself and doesn't understand the harm he's doing as the storm he's brought with him intensifies. They'll need to get close fast to touch him with the wheel before everyone is blown away.
