| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

Now, I have read through all of what has been said and even Master Ace's concern about the four winds. (though I wonder about the possiblities I feel that it could very well be interesting for not only my character but those that fill the other positions as well -so long as no one pushes me out of my own position hehe-) I think you all have valid points and just before I continue I would like you to remember that everyone is allowed to have their very own opinion on this matter, that is why the poll has been set up of course Be mindful of how you respond as you don't want to be defensive at this point just yet. Just friendly discussion and brainstorming of ideas for the time being..Alright, with that out of the way, I have voted yes. Perhaps not for the same groupings that have been offered to us, but for the idea of it all. Maybe it does not have to happen today or tomorrow but like Sargoth has suggested, once our RP warrants it. Now I realize I myself have not been as active as I once used to be but still, too much of the role-play in my own temple has been to be my chosen. Most of the interaction that Ciara gets with the mortals that come to visit her are for the purpose of becoming closer to her and the element she is divine over. I really do like the idea of demigods and shrines, I think it can widen the diversity here in Imythess and truly prove to extend our thread possibilities. With a little work and perhaps even a little bit of time I would like to see something like this come into play here in Imythess. |

Oh Oh, I remember now. Could I be given a couple months to compose a great storyline for the site. It's up to each individual whether to follow it or make up their own. They can also work their own rp into the one that i'd be creating. You can ask alot of my friends, I personally think I am pretty good at making up a unique story for each rp. I know it's sort of a bad idea, and should be given to someone who has been here longer if ever made. But I feel that since I am the one asking, I could atleast be given a chance to compose a well written story and present it to any admins that are available. Obviously our dear creater doesn't have all the time in the world, so maybe I could get it approved by another first, then they can recommend it or not. It will have everything to do with gods, goddesses.....heroes villains....everything. I would also like to make certain positions in the rp. Such as....Main Hero, Main Heroin. MAIN God/dess of "good" MAIN God/dess of "evil". and Main Villian. This would indeed give alot to the environment of Imythess, and It will give more people a chance to interract. Party systems would be nice where groups of people travel around. Obviously, it would be a "project" to get more rp places here for that. Unless we add some places from the Advanced rp over to the new one as well. These are all just normal ideas, and should not be taken offensive, or very heavily. I'm not saying that this place will die without this....obvisouly it won't if it's flourished for this long! But It would be a very nice addition. Please think it over. Any comments of "construction" critisizm would be MUCH appreciated. |

I'm sort of neutral on the situation, but I voted yes. I know that Imythess already has a lot of gods, but it would be cool to have such minor gods in play. There are tons of minor gods in both normal mythology and fiction, like Forgotten Realms. It'd be cool to have more active gods dabbling in mortal affairs. Demigods would have to be pretty carefully regulated by the actual gods to 'keep them in their place' lol, just so they didn't try to run around and act like the actual gods. |

Wow we don't have that many nos. If we do have demigods added I sugest that we get rid of the the four winds. We would change the demigods of inspiration to muses. and...hold a sec Taking Meru's idea on the astral shrine:
Illusions would be too much like the goddess of deception. If we are to have demigods I would rather that they were more or less unique unlike the four winds nad unlike the demigod/muses of inspirtaion. |

And now it is time for Oppel's two cents; Personally, I think demigods are a great idea. And I don't like it when people bash Artemis, indirectly or not . It's not nice, and I dont really like it when people act like that. What ever happened to being friendly?Anyway back on topic, Yea I do like this idea. This is because, I'm not the most active of gods. And that's just a fact. And I know that people like it when gods roleplay with them. Its fun! I remember back in the day when I was a regular member. Demigods would give people the opportunity to roleplay with a higher authority. It would even take a load of my shoulders. And for all I care, I dont really think having a demigod "takes away" from the gods. For all I care, there could be a demigod of plants, terrain, animals, whatever as long as it makes sense. It would also be a nice change, but of course they'd have to be people that I like, otherwise I wouldn't enjoy it as much

hmmm, you alll make good points (*cough* not that I actually read everything, just skimmed) but I think that demi-gods would be good... Not to mention I can be greedy and should Laoura and the others decide to actually have an Illusions demi-god, I can push Adia for that... Anyway, getting back to the subject, I think that the demi-gods should sorta fall under a certain god. For instance, the Wind Demi-gods would fall under Ciara and in an event, would have to follow her decisions as she rules over them or something like that. Another example, Dreams and Illusions might fall under Light as I tend to think those go with it(dont ask why) while if you, as Oppel said, have plants, animals(oooh, I'd like that too) and that such those demi-gods would fall under his reign. Come to think of it, How about a Demi-god of the Hunt? I think that'd be cool. oooh, and what about a Demi-god of Balance? Because you know, balance is extremely important *nodnod* Did all of that make sense to you? Hopefully because that was the best I could it explain it. |

If demi god are going to be of a god then we might as well leave them out. The God's elite are practicaly demigods anyways. Once agian I would like to state that I think the demigod should be unique of other demigods as well as the gods. The demigods of the four winds would all be little different and close too close to the goddess of wind herself. As or illusions that would come too close to Varlia's territory. demigod of hunt and balace sound good, but to fit in with the rest would need a shrine with other demigods. |

Well ace has a point, but it all depends on Laoura's intentions. Demigods could be minor-gods that reflect positions that aren't covered by the gods, or they could be like subdivisions of a god's rulings. Because demigods can be those who have a minor portion of a god's powers. I took this from dictioanry.com: A male being, often the offspring of a god and a mortal, who has some but not all of the powers of a god. Just think about it not saying a male being, and not necessarily the offspring of a god and a mortal. And it says it has "some but not all of the powers of a god". Once again, the ball's in Laoura's court. It all depends on her intentions. |

So then are you saying, well if i use you as an example. That you would have like people under your rule or whatever as like Protector of the forest or protector of the desert. Or would it be like Lord( or whatever the title is) OF snakes or reptiles. |

The intentions of demigods would be to have minor gods covering some things that the major gods have neglected and that are not of the same importance, such as the Inspiration gods. This topic will be closed as I think these discussions have gone on enough and I should be able to make my decision based on a lot of what was posted here. [Topic Closed] |
