Earth,Fire,Wind,Water and Metal There's nothing you can do against the combined power of the 5 elements "You're right I could ask you to look after the library more, but I don't want to burden you just so I can have a good time, I'm still relatively young as you can see I don't age as quickly as most people so I have time yet to find some one so i'm not going to rush" Patchouli explained she busied herself with sorting books as she spoke relationships weren't her thing she had tried with Alabaster but it was obvious it wasn't meant to be she had moved on but she never had an interest in anyone else.

(yeah but what I'm saying is that's a load of crap. The simple matter of fact is that Daymond would NOT just go unopposed for 17 years. There are supernatural schools, armies, and legendary heroes EVERYWHERE in this universe, that would have been constantly fighting against his forces the moment it got any where near the level of corruption your talking about. You need to remember this isn't just a stand alone high school rp anymore, its a full blown universe full of all sorts of factions and fighters, ones that would not just sit back and watch as all this was happening. Saying Daymond used evil rituals to deal with the other gods as a hand wave is utter bullshit and you know it. There are plenty of other gods who have way more followers and would be much more powerful, and if he had magic capable of weaking other gods than the other gods, particularly the evil ones, would have similiar magic as well. There are many gods that deal in ritualistic sacrafice, many gods of death and deceptions, GOD (christian god) exists in this universe. I'm sorry but a single being and a handful of cultist would not be able to make that kind of a push in the unviverse we have set up, and the idea that YMHS is somehow the last bastion of hope isn't just a flimsy premise for the story, but an insulting one to everyone who's tried to contribute to the world outside of this specific rp. Thessia is NOT warped by Chaos, this is a fact because MCA and Blue Shields takes place the same time as this rp, and everything over there is fine. CASE ******** CLOSED. Also all the places they've visited in these two rps would also be chaos free because s**t wasn't ******** up there when we did it. I know you want to make Daymond a serious threat, but you can't undo what's allready been established. This isn't some cheap dime a dozen rp where "oh no its up to a group of teenagers with attitude to save the day!" this is a world, a world with rules, a world full of people who would have seen Daymond's advances coming and would have acted to stop them. If there is really an evil god sowing chaos throughout the world, the combined races of the world would have acted to stop him, I'm not saying that he would be defeated, but its equally as ridicolous to say he managed to curb stomp EVERYONE and yet somehow YMHS students, half of which aren't combat trained, will somehow manage to pull it off. If you had simply stated the world was in trouble, and YMHS was needed to AIDE the fight, helping to contribute to the rest of the world's efforts to fend them off I would understand, that would make sense, that would be GOOD story telling, but this cliche, lore breaking, end of the world, poorly thought out crap is not good story telling, and I'm not playing along with it.)

(Geez chill look if I was a good story teller I would be writing novels. I had a few goals when making this scenario that I wanted to get across and yes I may have over exaggerated because I also keep forgetting the MCA is apart of this universe. First I wanted to establish that things went bad in 17 years and something needs to be done, I didn't want to have Daymond's army be like Tryton's where they sat around and look like they did nothing all day. My bad I should have did more research on the universe because yes there are a lot of places that would not be effected by Daymond. Second I needed to describe the gods weaknesses so that you know a group of mortals should be able to take out a god, this is where the faith comes in as a god you're only as powerful as your followers if people stop believing in you then you become just a mortal with a lot of power. Also to explain why Daymond has the upper hand against other gods when all gods should be equal I made it so the more followers you have the stronger you are a god with 100 followers can beat a god with 50. While Daymond has physical followers he also uses the power of sacrificed followers to make him stronger this will come up later as it was hinted before but i'm sure everyone forgot or wasn't paying attention. So here is my proposal and if it's ok with you I'll will rewrite Rem's speech about why she needs help First the 4 cultist towers are important so they stay, however most of the world has avoided Daymond and are warring with him currently but they're losing resources and slowly being pushed back which is why Rem has come to YMHS. Second this is going to be a long running event but still life goes on in the school since parts of the world are still safe there is no urgency to stop Daymond but as time passes things will get gradually worse. Thirdly you know how I work Pdragon we've been rping for awhile now you know I don't give the full story as it ruins any type of drama or surprises I have in store I like my plot twists but yes I tend to over exaggerate the story a bit so I do need some one to say "Hey that doesn't really work" and you know I will listen to what you say so there's no need to get angry ok? just tell and i will edit, sorry i'm a sucky writer

I wasn't in the best mood yesterday, and that's my fault. But yeah that rewrite works fine. and as for the gods my point is that every religion/pantheon of gods exist in this universe, as well as a fairly accurate level of followers for each. That means that Jehovah, Buddah, and the hindu deities, would have insane amounts of followers, infact they have a monopoly on every non aware human in the world, because those are the main religions in the non supernatural world right now, and they have all the people from their various afterlifes to call on as worshippers aswell, which ranks their following in the trillions, so that's why the idea of Daymond going from a sealed entity that almost no one knew about, to being able to beat every single god, in just 17 years doesn't really work, because, based on the system you devised, he wouldn't be strong enough. It would take centuries maybe thousands of years to build up followers in secret without getting the other god's attention before he could do something on this kind of scale, and even then he'd be at such a disadvantage that he'd basically be stuck to gorilla warfare, having to send a quick attack on the planet here and there and go into hiding again before he drew to much attention. I figured that Daymond, knowing how the whole followers thing worked, would be smart enough to put off doing anything to flashy knowing he'd have to work behind the scenes to arrange things in his favor, which would be why he would just be "sitting around" for 17 years. The only real reason he'd be getting away with something like this on this kind of scale would be if the other gods simply didn't see him as a threat to them, or where lazy and where leaving it to Rem alone since that's her job as the goddess of order. To be honest it does work alot better as him being an emerging threat instead of one that's been plaguing the world off screen, because that makes more sense. If he's just now starting to ******** s**t up then we don't have to answer questions like what have the gods been doing this whole time? or why haven't the other armies been fighting back? because we can actually explain these things as they go along without breaking the lore to much. It'd make sense for the gods to ask for a school to help if they didn't think the situation was that serious. If you have it so Daymond is just emerging recently, and the others don't really take him seriously, then that gives you the chance to have Daymond flex his powers by blowing up a few countries or something, then things can scale up from there. Start small and then raise the stakes later on, its much more dramatic and satisfying that way. I mean what sounds better "well the bad guy's basically already won, we kinda failed horribly to stop him and now we, The gods of the universe, have to rely on you guys to stop them because we have a magical mcgoufin that will defeat him that we conveniently forgot about for 17 years" or "the bad guy is starting an uprising, though he shouldn't be to much of a threat so we'll just have you school kids deal with it (Daymond blows up Tibet...and Switzerland) OH s**t! I think we may have underestimated him a bit, quick get the other schools! get the armies of the world! get the magic mcgoufins that we remembered at an actually realistic time! we need to launch a massively epic battle to stop this new branching threat!" remember Meta, there's a reason why Mass Effect is more popular than (insert generic JRPG here) A feeling of being able to prepare and stand up against a threat using your skills and diplomatic saviness, bringing the entire world together to stand as one, is alot cooler than being "the choosen one" and poking the demon god with a magic stick of convenient god-power-taking-away-ness)

(you're right, i think i've been playing to many JRPG's lately so yeah those ideas are stuck in my head which I agree will be seriously cliched. My only issue is with the major gods like Buddah Jehovah ect, I kind of didn't want to include them in this because they really do throw off the power scale it's like hey yes you're a god, but you're not a "GOD" which in this setting all gods should start equal and work to get followers to increase power. If we are to include actual major gods I think they should be on another level of their own kind of like the great wills of universe that basically give shape and rules to the universe but can't be bothered with mortal affairs The gods we have can be killed so it makes sense to have a group of supreme over seers of the cosmos that no one can touch in my opinion anyway)

The gods have allready been competing for followers for eons now and that's what I'm saying, there is an obvious tier to gods since some are much more popular and thus more powerful. And if things where allready to the point where Daymond was b***h slapping the other gods that'd make no sense, so it has to be on a scale to where the big gods would still be content to just leave it to the mortals and lesser gods to deal with it. and as I've pictured it. Basically deities work like this. All of creation started with one supreme being, known as the "all father", and various other names based by culture, language, etc. It created the universe and then created the other gods to populate it with worlds and planes and beings of their own design. Then there are the Universal gods, who are in charge of keeping the laws of the universe and time and space, etc, in check, so they take care of the big picture (like the gods of time, which Ashura used to be one of). Then there are greater gods, who are either the ruler, or most powerful god of a particular planet or solar system (like "God"). And then there are lesser gods, who are less well known and thus have smaller roles in everything (like suwako). There are an immeasurable number of gods, and they are able to make their own planets, races, etc. based on how good they are at creating things, and for the most part stick to whatever planet or system their creations inhabit. Earth in particular is a favored location for a lot of gods because the atmosphere and environment is easy to make living beings in (abundance of air, water, food, etc.) which is why there are so many different religions/belief systems on earth, because Gods like to come here to create things (like the crap tone of races that are available to play as)

(Hey everyone, the dorm list is up in the sub forum. Please go there and see where your character is listed if your ever confused about anything. Also if your character isn't listed there it means they haven't been assigned a dorm yet. If your character isn't listed there and your character HAS recieved a dorm, it means I either missed it, or you claimed to have a dorm but never actually gave a number (which is bad, that's a bad boy/girl *wags finger*). In either case please contact me with what your dorm number is/what you want it to be, and it will be updated. http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=23687775#351262993)
