War of Gods

[megacookie]

For five thousand years, a brutal war has been raging on this planet. The Gods above were using the humans the Creator God Ekrados had made to prove who was truly the best deity. By empowering certain humans with their powers, they had them fight. Whichever human was the last man standing would prove what God was the best. However, the Gods didn't expect the stubbornness of humanity, and eventually everything went into a stalemate. Throughout the centuries, nations fell and rose, leaders born and died, continents connected and split apart.

However, there will be one person who will change the fate of the world forever. For better or for worse, this Godly war is nearing its climax. This person will be forever known throughout history, and this is their story.

What path does this human follow?

A.) The Creator God's Lament. Ekrados, tired of seeing his sons and daughters abuse his precious humans for petty reasons, finally put his hand into this sick war, choosing you as his champion. You have been tasked with ending the war and with the blessing of Ekrados, you have the best chance out of anyone to come out victorious.

B.) The Evil God Arises. Sealed into the core of the planet by his brother Ekrados, the Evil God Ekrodo has managed to awaken slightly. Unbeknownst to the other Gods, you have become the Champion of Evil and will travel the world to break the seals containing your master. With his awakening, he has promised that you can rule the earth after he is free, a goal that can finally be obtainable with his help.

C.) Blessed by the Gods. You were lucky enough to be blessed by a Minor God, giving you some neat powers. With these new found powers, you will lead your God into victory, with nothing standing in your way!

D.) The Relentless Heathen. Sick of all the war and chaos the Gods have caused, you have shunned them and in response they have stripped you of any power you had. However, they could never take away your determination and you trained all your life until you could easily match any magic user. Now you journey on to find a way to sever the God's connection and let humanity be free from their shackles...

E.) The Overshadowed Sibling. You have always toiled away in the shadow of your sibling. But you knew that because they were the Champion of a Major God, you were destined to fade away in history. However, you will prove that you don't need to have a Major God on your side to leave a mark. Whether you support your sibling or oppose them, you will make sure you are known.

It was a crisp, cool morning. The river you camped next to was freely flowing, the smoldering remains of last night's campfire lay in front of you. With a yawn, you got to your feet and stretched your arms and legs. Quickly devouring what was left of last night's dinner, you moved to the river to wash your face. In front you was your reflection. It showed...

Character Creation time!

A.) Name? First and last. (There's no strict naming themes, choose whatever you think is best)

B.) Gender?
1.) Male
2.) Female

C.) Appearance?

D.) Age? (Between 18 and 30 is preferable)

E.) Personality?

Now I'll give a quick breakdown on what each stat does.

Magical Power: This is your magical power. It effects how strong your magic is.
Magic Attunement: This is your skill with magic. Important for more finessed based magic.
Hand to Hand/Weapon Skill: Self explanatory, how skilled your are in hand to hand or using weapons
Intelligence: Self explanatory. Gives you better options, allows you to glean more information, etc etc.
Strength: How hard you hit things. Strength + Endurance equals your general durability.
Endurance: This is your health and physical stamina. The more you have, the more you can comeback from.
Mana: Your magical stamina pretty much.
Speed: Your movement speed.
Agility: Your reaction and attacking speed.

Now, time to choose your stats! (Stats are ranked from E to S, with +'s and -'s)

1.)
Magical Power: B
Magic Attunement: C+
Hand to Hand/Weapon Skill: D-
Intelligence: C
Strength: E
Endurance: E
Mana: C
Speed: D
Agility: D

2.)
Magical Power: E
Magic Attunement: D-
Hand to Hand/Weapon Skill: B
Intelligence: C
Strength: C+

3.)

Hand to Hand/Weapon Skill: C
Intelligence: C
Strength: D+
Endurance: C
Mana: C
Speed: D
Agility: D

Finally, now choose ONE perk.

Malicious Aura: Destruction takes on many forms. Simply being around you can slowly destroy a person's will over time unless they have great willpower.

Absolute End: Destruction is the fate of all things. Whenever you destroy something, it cannot be rebuilt or healed by normal means. However, this effect gets weaker over time.

Glorious Annihilation: Destruction is truly a beautiful thing. When in an area that is heavily destroyed, you gain a constant minor regeneration to your health and mana.

Self-Destruction: Even you are not immune to destruction. If you severely injure yourself, you gain a great stat boost for 2 turns.

Cracks In The Wall: Destruction can be precise as well as overwhelming. Once per battle, you can manually strike an opponent's weak spot for greater damage.

Mental Break: Destruction can also be abstract. Your attacks can cause mental anguish instead of physical damage.

Mutual Destruction: Destruction is a two-way street. You can manually activate an aura that takes all of the damage and shares it with the enemy.

Breakdown: Even the strongest things crumble. The longer you fight a foe, their stats will lower comparatively.

Internal Removal: Even destruction can protect. If anything enters your body (weapons, arrows, poisons, etc etc) you can break it down into nothing. Does not heal the injuries.

Endless Destruction: Destruction is constant. You gain power whenever you kill someone. The boost will be relative to your power and the person you kill.

This, but stat 3 and Cracks in the Wall perk.

We have the ultimate magic at destroying things. Punching shit would be a complete waste of it. But I'm happy to combine punching with the magic, just not punching mostly by itself.

After washing your face, you sighed, this river would be much to cold to bathe in and you weren't going to wait until the sun warmed it up. Quickly packing up your supplies, you began to walk once more. You were on a quest to break the seals that trapped the Evil God Ekrodo. The consequences of such actions would be unknown until its actually done, but you didn't care. You were chosen to be Ekrodo's Champion and you'd follow through.

After a few hours, you came upon a bend in the river, a bridge was built over it to connect the lands. However, there were two large, burly men and a smaller man standing in front of the bridge. You narrowed your eyes, they were obviously taking tolls for the bridge. Such a scam was common enough throughout the world. Of course if you wanted to continue to the city of Zela.

What will you do?

A.) Go up to them and try to talk your way over the bridge.

B.) Perhaps you should find another way over the river.

C.) Use your destruction magic to kill all of them in one go.

D.) Free Choice

A, though they'll probably ask for sex or something.

You had nothing to fear about these men. You walked up to them; the smaller man standing up from his seat as he approached you. He was around your height and he had long, greasy hair, as if he hadn't washed it in a few weeks. He wore a simple black tunic with black pants, two daggers holstered to his waist. Behind him, the two giant men towered threateningly over you, both of them bald and wielding a giant war axe.

"I suspect you wish to go into Zela?" the smaller man said, his voice smooth and polished. He had been doing this kind of thing for a very long time.

"Yes. Am I to pay some sort of toll?" you asked seriously, cutting directly into the meat of the matter.

"Hehehe, yep! It'll be two silvers to cross," he said eagerly.

"Hmph..."

A.) "Fine, here's your money."

B.) "I don't feel like paying. Move out of the way."

C.) "I don't have that much, how about we haggle?"

D.) Use some Destruction Magic to kill this man.

E.) Free Choice.

[giga]

E.) "I have a better deal. Why don't you two burly men work for me instead?"

Kill the man, loot his corpse.
