THE GOD MEME

You don't know how, or why, but you now have the power of a god. Scratch that, you are a god, with all the responsibilities (or lack of) the job entails.

How To Play:
♦ Post as your character, and write down the name, canon, prefereces, etc.
♦ In your subject line, include 'god/dess of...' with whatever you prefer to post. This can be anything: god/dess of knowledge, god/dess of french fries, god/dess of wank. Whatever you think your character is most suited to be.
♦ Optionally, describe how they came to be that deity. Have they always been a god? Were they just made a god? Did the head god make them a god for shits and giggles? Did the previous god of, say, tigers make them god/dess of tigers before hightailing it for vacation?

Replier options:
♦1♦ Fellow god/dess of the same pantheon
♦2♦ Fellow god/dess of a different pantheon
♦3♦ God/dess of the same thing, same pantheon
♦4♦ God/dess of the same thing, different pantheon
♦5♦ Supplicant
♦6♦ Disbeliever
♦7♦ Clergy
♦8♦ A Follower Of Some Other God(s)
♦9♦Mortal (Former) Friends And Relatives
♦10♦ Other — whatever I haven't thought of

[She is a goddess.]

[Norse Goddess of the Dead, ruler of Helheim and only daughter of the God Loki.]

[Either normal or a goddess, your choice. If she's the deity, then she's likely a generic and benevolent deity trying to pretend she's a normal person like everyone else, until a specific circumstance demands she reveal her powers.]

[She's the Goddess of Knowledge, obviously.]

[Norse God of Mischief. Also available in canon MCU flavor.]

[Half human, half Elder God, have at 'um!]

[The goddess of love]

[The God of Scales and Silences* though, technically, Alex is... uh. 100% human. He just happens to be worshiped as a god by a colony of hyper-intelligent talking pantheistic mice who view the men in his family as Gods and the women as Priestesses. His title comes from his fascination/expertise with reptiles and the fact that he... is not as noisy as his sisters.]

[God of Masters, Knights, and Fortitude. .. Or was it the Tutelar Deity of Virgins and Monsters? Defender of England and its surrounding Lands? After a few hundred years the stories start to get mixed up, and Integra finds it too bothersome to correct anyone. She's a hard lady to find most of the time anyway.]

[Who has to avoid having too-direct contact with mortal prosecutors lest they become obsessed with him rather than focusing on the actual work of prosecution. And has to figure out ways to work with his now-heightened drive to prosecute despite being too good at it for most mortal defense attorneys to have any hope of opposing. Seriously, he didn't ask to be deified!]

[A drunken fool staggers in, pulling himself away from the arms of his attendants - clad in simple clothes of vaguely middle-eastern style, cheeks rosy and eyes somewhat dimmed, he grins mischievously as he noticed the relatively deified prosecutor. Sinbad leans in at Edgeworth's left]

Still not used to the change in perspective?

[He laughs softly, but sympathetically, leaning close enough to give off the clean scent of the Mediterranean sea, the warm, rich perfume and even richer alcohol. Then suddenly he pulls back and leans in at his right, completely changed - eyes bright, dressed as a sultan right from a fairy tale, the drunken swaying gone completely]

It's something that's going to take a while to wrap your head around.

[Edgeworth sighs in frustration.]

(Of all people, why must this drunkard be God of Kings?)

If it were the perspective alone, it would be of little concern, sir.

[It's being forced to live vicariously through his charges that's the problem.]

[Because he has to pull double-duty as a God of Revels and a God of Kings. That and in reality, many Kings are drunks - it's a stressful job. He sits down, clasping his hands together]

Kirschwasser? You seem like a man of refined tastes.

[Sinbad offers, though given how uptight the God of Prosecution is, he knew the answer was likely a flat out rejection]

Missed being right in the fray?

I would rather not find myself accidentally distracting any of my charges from his or her work, thank you.

[Well, at least his tone was one of polite rejection.]

Hmph. (It would seem he shares Wright's talent for guessing.) More than that, I feel a stronger need to be there than ever. I simply realize that's impractical without an equal defense and inappropriate to the vast majority of crimes.

A fair point - another time perhaps?

[He looks distant for a moment, the bright eyes dimming for a moment - perhaps someone was beseeching him. His lips moved, but no sound comes out as Sinbad adjusted his bracelet before he draws his attention back to the man]

I apologize for that. And that's the irony of it - we become exemplars of our domains, but put in a position where we can't exercise this without upsetting the balance of the world.

(Perhaps our ability to multitask scales with the number of people one is directly responsible for. I suppose that's a question to ask of a patron of some menial job or another.)

Neither directly nor in excess, at the very least. And yet, I find it hard to believe that such urges would exist without some way to address them more fully than simply living vicariously. Otherwise, the world would be thrown out of balance regularly, would it not?

[God of storms and/or craftsmen...]

[Delsin had found he'd preferred the his peers, younger gods of other pantheons to the elders of this own. What need did the Akomish have for a God of Spectacle, a God of Transformation? No, they'd only wanted him for Truth and Loss and he didn't want to spend the rest of his long, long life being reminded of Reggie.

So here he was on this sweltering day, leaned in the doorway of his friend's estate, and calling for him. ]

Hey, Kanji! You in here, man?

[On a day like today, Kanji wasn't going without some outside motivation. Sunny days were hardly his preference, though the heat and humidity in the air... well, there could be something he'd be needed for, he could tell.
(Tch. Not like anyone appreciated his work.)

But all the same, hearing that call at the door? Definitely welcome enough. He wasn't long in coming, calling back-]

Yeah, I am - what's up?

[Celebrating his correct hunch with a fist pump, Delsin invited himself in. He'd decided to slum it a bit, in the clothes that he'd worn when he was still mortal, trading out the thick hoodie for a much lighter one out of habit. Did gods even get heatstroke?]

Had to get away from the old heads back home, you know how it is.

[Rolling his eyes, continued pitching his head back and forth out for emphasis.]

Tradition this, connection that... man, it's like they forget I'm one of them too ...

[With a pause, he stopped at the door frame he assumed Kanji was behind. One of the benefits of being a deity of truth, even a lesser one meant that that his gut instinct was damn near infallible.]

How you holdin' up?

[Kanji snorts at the comment about the old-timers.] Don't I just, man. [He's accepted how long he'll live, accepted everything else that comes with it... but yep. That nailed it. He's not entirely opposed to tradition - the decoration and construction of his home is decidedly old fashioned, and his current outfit's the same. But ... there's good sides and down sides to it, and sticks in the mud who seem to think that he needs looking down on for not even being a hundred years old?
Ugh. And he'd thought mortal authorities were irritating.

He cracks the door slightly when he hears, and smiles.]

Been better, been worse. Good t' see ya...

Edited 2015-04-29 09:34 (UTC)

Still holing up in here by your lonesome?

[He fakes trying to peek in the door, cracking a smirk. While their temperaments were pretty close, Kanji had been more of a loner. It was something that Delsin noticed early and and hoped that it wouldn't get worse with age.]

Man, you really gotta get a hobby.

[No need to go peeking in, he's coming out, he's coming!

Kanji just shakes his head as he does so, glancing at the other-] Yeah, I think I'm covered there. [Given his other domain, hobbies are not a problem for him, nor does he ever expect them to be...]

But seriously, I've been fine.

Good to hear.

[The smile starts, despite every effort to keep straight faced.]

How about that detective of yours, things going alright with them?

[Maybe its the difference between what's proper in two entirely different parts of the world, but he can't resist teasing Kanji a little. It'd been a shock to hear Kanji say objectively good things about anyone really so he wanted to make sure that he was keeping contact with someone back from before.]

Actually, come to think of it - there we a whole bunch of you guys, weren't there?

Edited 2015-05-07 17:44 (UTC)

Oh, come on!

[Did Kanji just blush a little at that first comment? Dammit (... he really shouldn't use that word, should he?), is he going to get that sort of business forever?

He coughs slightly.]

Yeah. E-everyone's doin' good. I mean, I ain't seen a lot of 'em, but... they're fine, last I heard.

[Eight small gods to take the place of one great and ancient one. Not the best of situations to find themselves in. But ... they've been making the best of it.]

A goddess traditionally associated with love, sexuality, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr, war, and death. Chooses the first half of the dead from a battlefield, preferring warriors with wits and intelligence and leaving the beserkers to Óðinn (Odin). Her name is known in its various forms from Europe to India. Will survive Ragnarök.

((ooc: Goddess of death and/or war))

[as per canon, the Goddess of Hope / Puella Magi / It's Slightly Complicated]

((God of Revelry, Sailors and Exploration or God of Kings, Trade and Mystery. Or alternatively a very cocky mortal))

Edited 2015-04-27 20:56 (UTC)

[God of the sun.]

((Goddess of Travel, lost souls, mercy, and the ocean. Became a goddess after her death in canon.))

Edited 2015-04-28 04:02 (UTC)

((God of teachers, earth, and courage.))

[Once the physical embodiment of the Red Sentai Spirit, he's since been promoted by the Higher Powers to become the God of Heroes and Pirates. For heroes to earn his favor, he only asks for them to fight against evil and to aid those in need. In the case of heroes, his favors are only asked for in times of dire need, and are given when truly needed.

For pirates, however, he's a bit more picky on who he doles out favors to. One has to be true to the Jolly Roger and all it represents, not just to the power and wealth that one could gain through piracy. However, that is not always easy to tell among some pirates, hence why any pirates seeking favor from AkaRed will be tested in order to earn such a favor from him. While no pirate will die from said tests, not all would succeed either.]

[Celtic goddess of death, magic and seduction. Also fond of making people's lives difficult.]

((OOC: Open to all roles. If he's a god, he's the God of Right and Wrong who typically appears as a cricket.))

((OOC: Open to being just a mortal or as an alien who's perceived as a god despite all attempts to convince people otherwise. He'd be seen as the god of knowledge and invention.))

((OOC: Take a wild guess.))

[You've got a Black*Star staring right at you, bro.

You're lucky he's chosen not to body slam you in greeting. For now.]

Oi. Where are we eating?

[You better not, bro. New death gods need to keep stuff organized. Do you have any idea how hard it is to take over as the god of a world? He hasn't even redecorated the Death Room yet. Not that he's planning to any time soon. ~~Reminds him of dad.~~]

I was thinking pizza since we could get it delivered. There's still issues in Europe that I need to keep an eye on.

[His new order isn't going over perfectly with everyone. There's a mess with some worshipers of Kid's big brother going down for example.]

[Bro, that sounds so boring. Why do you need all this order YOU'RE GOING TO GO MAD AGAIN WITH IT.]

Oi oi, no staring at Europe crap while we're eating! No working while in the presence of the Great Black*Star!

[HE'LL BE FINE. HE KNOWS TO KEEP ORDER AND CHAOS BALANCED AT LEAST. Managing order in the whole world is actually helping him chill out a bit. Still fussy but at least he doesn't go completely mental over every little thing, right? ~~Give him a few hundred years, and the symmetry thing should be a complete non-issue.~~]

Tch. [Rolling his eyes, Kid looks up from the reports he had with him and towards Black*Star. He's currently sitting at that tea table his dad was so fond of.] Yes, yes, I know. [He starts putting the reports in order so he can come back to them.]

Why don't you give them a call? Pick whatever you want. Just make sure they know to put an even number of toppings on there.

[Because otherwise he'll be picking at the toppings on each slice he gets.]

[Nope, you can't be trusted. Black*Star's gonna have to stick around forever just to make sure Kid doesn't go totally bonkers again.

He watches Kid keep everything so neat and tidy, waiting impatiently for him to finish up so they can eat. Though damn, every time he makes it all so orderly, it makes Black*Star want to flip a table just to laugh at Kid's reaction.]

I might as well not order any toppings if we're eating here. You're gonna make sure the pizza's perfectly symmetrical before we can even cut it.

[You're going to be one of those souls that refuses to cross over, aren't you? Haunt Kid for all eternity?]

[Also you'd have Kid getting pissed at you if you flip that table. Don't do it, bro.]

[He gives Black*Star a bland look.]

Then did you have any ideas as to what to do for lunch?

[So tempting... So tempting...]

Well, I can have pizza with everything on it. For you, we'll get meat buns.

[DON'T DO IT, BRO.]

[There's momentary annoyance.] That...!

[Pause. Hang on.]

...actually isn't a bad idea.

[Narrowed suspicious eyes. Who are you and what have you done with Black*Star?]

[HOHOHO. BEHOLD THE GREATNESS THAT IS BLACK*STAR.

He's got the biggest, most shit-eating grin in the world plastered on his face now.] Damn right it's not!! 'Cause I thought of it!

Now hurry up and put the order in. I'm starving.

Fine, fine.

[Rolling his eyes super hard here.]

[Also ordering via mirror because he's a freaking reaper. Just try and tell him he's not allowed to do that.]

[Psssh, Black*Star doesn't care how he orders food. But he definitely cares about getting this food into his stomach.]

Oi, where's Liz and Patty? Do you sit up here all day by yourself???

Not all day everyday. Unfortunately, right now I'm having to get caught up after that incident in France two days ago.

[Kid pinches the bridge of his nose at that, feeling the headache trying to come back.]

I told them that I was having lunch with you, so they decided to go out for lunch someplace by themselves along with getting some shopping done.
