Mythos

[X] Tabula Rasa: Seek The Gavrix, first amongst monsters and firstborn child of the Gods. Its shape is not worthy of its nature, and this must be rectified. Firstly, locate the beast, allow its wretched fangs to pierce my divine shell, as it sups upon my blessed blood I shall reforge its body from within, in the image of the Gods of Mythos. Secondly, grant it my divine blessing, remove its fate from the Memory of death. That it may be forgotten and eternal. Finally, utilize the first and most subtle of my miracles, Unchained Potential. Remove the limits on how far it can refine that bestial cunning that hungers within its soul. Thusly so it is to be remade in a shape worthy of being the progenitor of all the wretched abominations whatever God crafted it shall forge.

[X] Nhwereoma: Descend and cow the Gavrix into submission. Try to enlarge it so that it can ride on it and work out a way for it to have an external heart separate from itself that can always bleed for it to drink on.

The Storyteller: good to see that Gavrix is getting some attention from the others, hopefully they can help with enhancing his story.

That would make a separate entity from the Moon though, so I don't think it'd help. So alternatively what someone should do, is figure out a way to make the Moon come alive.

March Of Cogs: Use the Gavrix as base for some Cogs, make them out of sand, then have them mine for mundane ores
March got back to work on making the first soldiers in their little hive-mind army, she used the Gavrix as her base, and bundled the grey sands together to create her Cogs, they were structurally very fucking weak, she was pretty sure even the Moon-Smitten would be able to break them, but they would hopefully be able to mine some ores for you in some way
Success D14 rolled a 13
Vs
Failure D22 rolled a 12

It took considerable effort (And a fuck ton of time), but by stretching out their sand limbs and scraping the grains against ore deposits they found, and stored the metal shavings in their own bodies, when they were done they spewed the metal shavings out into a large pile of iron
Their mistress was very pleased and gave them all congratulatory head pats and the titles of Mining Specialists

Cogs
- Golem hive-mind created by the goddess their name is based off, March Of Cogs, they all are made by her and each type is based off a mortal being and a non-living material
- Gavrix-Grey-Sands: A type of Cog based off the Gavrix and made of wasteland sand

The Storyteller: Commission a couple songs about monsters from the Moon-Smitten, in exchange give them monster servants that can play music.
Success D44 rolled a 43
Vs
Failure D8 rolled a 7

The Song Of Abominations is formed, to the Storyteller, it was pure beauty, the rhythm flowed through the veins of all who hear it, the sounds of the instruments were like the countless flailing limbs of unearthly beasts, and the lyrics made your soul roar, you made a bunch of little monsters

Slimy little things with varying amounts of bulging yellow eyes, bulbous heads, slick dark blue skin with baby blue crescent moons and music notes across their bodies, with up to 5 long tendrils that split into many small worm-like digits, standing on a long twig-like stalk that slides across the ground like a slug, the Moon-Smitten summoned instruments and watched as the creatures played them effortlessly, then flexed their head in certain ways so their innards squelches could mimic singing beautifully

The Storyteller and Moon-Smitten high-fived and went on their respective ways, happy with their little arrangement

Song Of Abominations
- A song by the Moon-Smitten
- Incorporates various different techniques emulating monster noises in a satisfying way
- Motivates almost any monster that hears it a TON

Performers Of The Lunar Fanatic Orchestra
- Created by the Storyteller
- They work for the Moon-Smitten
- Slimy little things with varying amounts of bulging yellow eyes, bulbous heads, and across their slick dark blue skin is baby blue crescent moons and music notes
- They have up to five long tendrils that split into an abundance of dexterous worm-like digits, good at playing instruments
- The inside of their head is designed to mimic singing incredibly well when they flex their innards correctly
- Their body is carried by a long slick twig-like stalk of bluish-purple flesh sliding across the ground in a manner akin to slugs

The Twins: Purify one of the buildings in Mythos, maybe it'll reveal something
After watching the transaction between the Storyteller and Moon-Smitten, the musical god got back to the Twins, playing them a theme song alongside the new posse as the Twins posed and began channelling their Miracle
Together they yelled

"GRAND MIRACLE! BLESS IT!" A wave of cleansing power shot out of their chests and split as it flew towards the building, wrapping around it like bandages and smothering it in the godly power of the Twins, the bandages began to fade as the Miracle finished doing its work, and what was revealed was...

Mythos
- Temple Of The Unforgiven: Towering structure dedicated to Penitent Saints who used to be vile criminals before being sent on deadly quests to right a ton of wrongs in the world, their sentence was death no matter what they did during their quest, but each journey was designed to help them reflect on their actions before execution via petrification. Statues depict Penitent Saints crying, looking satisfied, and some just laying down dead, all with a mural depicting their worst display of sin and their greatest display of virtue. Extremely grand looking, could house a small village on each floor

The Twins
- See the Moon-Smitten as a friend

Moon-Smitten
- Sees the Twins as friends and plays theme music for them whenever he is available and when it's needed

Shang-Houzi: Go exploring and check out what else has been happening so far such as the Lake, the Gravrix, Sand-O, Moon Guy's songs, etc. If you come across the others all trying to do different things with the Gravrix, provide some humorous commentary to the conflict.
The lake had nothing interesting going on, aside from Sand-O making sand castles, which Shang helped with, now they have a sand castle the size of the Prime King to live in
Sand-O is still a sin in my eyes though, and always will be

The Moon-Smitten and Twins seemed to have been busy, with a bunch of slimy new friends around they were running around a new looking temple and messing with all the important looking stuff inside while the Moon-Smitten tooted a horn along with the fun being had

After getting bored of watching from the sidelines while resting in a bridal carry in the arms of one of the Penitent Saint statues he travelled back into the birthing chamber again, seeing that the giant had left, and that only the woman remained, she was summoning lines of gold energy and weaving them together, and after an hour watching her do what basically translated into computer coding but with physics, the monkey god got out of there, and came across something else down in the Jungle beneath the city, a duo of deities (Not the Twins obviously) messing around with the weird flying creature that he saw around Mythos a couple times

He sat down and observed

Shang-Houzi
- Is quite nosy, watching from afar as people go about their day

Ruliana: Create a gold matrix that will be linked to all of the other Symbols of Rank and place it on the heart Nhwereoma gave the Mother. The matrix's sole purpose right now is to record the current name, race, order, and rank of anyone with a Symbol of Rank.

After the weird hairy dude left you continued with the construction of your golden matrix
Success D49 rolled a 38
Vs
Failure D18 rolled a 5
Once more you carve something in the universe itself, but not an order, but a list, a grand list for all who would be part of your grand hierarchy, and you place it inside the celestial energy's heart, you speak the words "Show the Record Of Rank" and a golden sheet of energy marked with words appeared
Your name and rank were listed in the Ascendant section, of course, your Symbol matched the exact level you were listed, you tore off the patch of skin with the symbol, the list was empty, the skin healed quickly and you wrote the symbol down again, then the list had a name, okay it was operating well, hopefully hat would be the case for a long time

Mythos
X - In the centre is a ball of celestial energy that spawns gods, said ball has a heart personally crafted by Nhwereoma, and carved onto that heart by Ruliana is the Symbol Of Rank which has declared it Transcendent Rank, located in a grand underground chamber of immense size, big enough to fit a smaller city, carved on the walls are a couple billion hands reaching towards the ceiling, on said ceiling is depictions of countless beautiful flowers
- In the centre is a ball of celestial energy that spawns gods titled the Divine Womb, said ball has a heart personally crafted by Nhwereoma, and carved onto that heart by Ruliana is the Symbol Of Rank which has declared it Transcendent Rank, she also carved an access point to the Record Of Rank in there, located in a grand underground chamber of immense size, big enough to fit a smaller city, carved on the walls are a couple billion hands reaching towards the ceiling, on said ceiling is depictions of countless beautiful flowers

Symbol Of Rank Commandment
- Connected to the Record Of Rank

Record Of Rank Commandment
- Connected to the Symbol Of Rank and stores the current name, species, order in the SOR hierarchy, and rank in the hierarchy of all those marked with the Symbol
- Can be accessed via interaction with the Divine Womb and yelling "Show the Record Of Rank!", then you'll be shown a list of all marked individuals, if you're looking for a specific individual it will then scroll to their position on the list if you know who you're asking for

Nhwereoma: Descend and cow the Gavrix into submission. Try to enlarge it so that it can ride on it and work out a way for it to have an external heart separate from itself that can always bleed for it to drink on.
Tabula Rasa: Seek The Gavrix, first amongst monsters and firstborn child of the Gods. Its shape is not worthy of its nature, and this must be rectified. Firstly, locate the beast, allow its wretched fangs to pierce my divine shell, as it sups upon my blessed blood I shall reforge its body from within, in the image of the Gods of Mythos.

Nhwereoma jumped down from the city of Mythos, landing on their knees in the Resting Ape Jungle, right next a casually starving Gavrix, surprised, the beast attempted to escape the clutches of the giant but failed, being caught and held back by the gargantuan god, the giant decided to attempt intimidating the creature, for if the giant used their Heart Of Stone & Justice the Gavrix will surely be petrified while attempting to escape

So the beast was held up to one of the vast deity's eyes, and it was confronted with the piercing gaze of a god
Nhwereoma Intimidation D40 rolled a 11
Vs
Gavrix Willpower D13 rolled a 3

It resisted greatly, but soon was nothing more than a cowering mess before the will of the creature holding them captive, it was released from the cold dry fingers of Nhwereoma and placed down in the forest, then the god continued, and began to remold the beast
Success D40 rolled a 33
Vs
Failure D19 rolled a 17

The Gavrix grew to an incredible height, not quite large but still covered a large amount of the forest with their own body, it was large enough to be ridden on by even Nhwereoma if it wasn't for how weak the creature actually was thanks to it's scrawny build
So the giant tried to remedy that
Success D38 rolled a 36
Vs
Failure D21 rolled a 6
Torn from the giant's body was one of it's own hearts, and above the head of the Gavrix it did hover, dripping crimson ichor upon it's head, sliding down and being lapped at by it's cold tongue, satisfied with this gift it became far less tense then before

Then Tabula Rasa came along, after having heard the commotion finally arrived at the site of the Gavrix's metamorphosis, they landed atop it's head as they jumped off the edge of Mythos, being watched from afar by Shang-Houzi, ever the voyeur
Rasa crawled across it's face and soon placed themselves between the teeth of the beast and let them pierce their shell slightly, lapping up some divine blood before the deity jumped from the beast's lips to watch the effects from afar

Ascension D50 rolled a 37
Vs
Failure D50 rolled a 23

The Gavrix was then warped, becoming something far greater than it's old self (Being big doesn't count), it... it became a demigod, even had a little Aspect of it's own, the Aspect of Blood
Tabula was planning to make it immortal, but they saw there was no need since it had become a divine being of sorts, thus they moved to the final stage of the plan

The Gavrix felt a Miracle touch the very essence of their being, and remove a constrictive feeling, one so natural it was never noticed till it was gone, there was no limit to how far their bestial cunning could be honed and thus after this, it growled quietly, the breath from their flaring nostrils making the trees rustle, and patiently sat as the gods praised each other for their work

Shang-Houzi then said from up above, on the edge of Mythos' cold stone glory "Don't you think intimidating and modifying an animal against it's will is slightly immoral?"
Tabula Rasa thought of it "Hhmmm... good point, Nhwereoma do you think we had valid reasons for this?"
"I just wanted to be able to ride something, now I feel kinda bad about it"
"Okay magic monkey man we'll get back to you on our counterpoint to how bad modifying the Gavrix may have been, just wait there"
"Sure"

Shang did not in fact wait, the Moon-Smitten would perform a concert that shouldn't be missed for even the birth of one's own firstborn, they were playing this newly invented music genre called "J-Pop"

The Gavrix
- Obedient to Nhwereoma out of fear
- Gigantic creature that can casts a shadow over entire villages
- Has a disembodied ever bleeding heart forever floating above their head to act as nourishment
- A demigod after tasting the blood of Tabula Rasa, thus is immortal
- Blessed with no limit to how far they can hone their bestial cunning
- Aspect: Blood

Actions 3
In case you missed out on creating a god, you can make one during these action sections
(All are subject to veto and rewrite if I see any problems like gods of magic, gods of time, or gods of gods, just stay away from trying to seem like the most "Special" or powerful god, I'm already allowing your characters enough strength to annihilate cities, I don't need mary sues among an actual pantheon)

Banned Aspects (Can be subject to change, and new additions could be added later on)
Events
Omnipotence
Success
Failure
Magic (Since any form of reality manipulation is basically magic to me so you would always have a bonus during those rolls)
Everything
Fate

[] Deity Name: Obvious what this is
- [] 3 Aspects: 3 things they have power over, creatures, concepts, occupations, feelings, stuff like that, they're basically pretty good with things related to their Aspects
- [] Form: What they look like
- [] Miracle 1: An ability they have which they can do more easily then most reality warping, can be super powerful but don't make it the most strong one
- [] Miracle 2: You can have less then 3 if you don't feel like filling them all
- [] Miracle 3:
- [] Flavour Text: Optional

Now choose a single Deity, and an action they'll perform this turn

[X] The Twins: Create a race of sentient humanoids with two heads and four arms. Each head will have their own personality and can control a set of arms.
 
I think I misunderstood what was going to happen with the Gavrix.
Thought Cog was going to mechanize it or something and that the different votes involving it were going to be conflicting.

Also does anyone have any ideas for more gods? Because I hope that more end up getting created over time.

[X] Shang-Houzi: Try to make some mortal life in your image, plus they can live in the forest you've recently made!
-[X] I'm thinking they'd appear as monkey/ape like humans and generally similar to how Shang-Houzi looks such as the majority having a lot of hair, sharp teeth, tail, golden eyes, etc. at least for the first generation. There would probably be some variation between them like one person having different colored eyes or hair for example.
-[X] Also make sure they're sentient and smart/cunning enough so that they can make tools and survive in the wilds without you babysitting them.
-[X] As for what to call them I'm of the opinion that Apes, Humans, and Monkeys would all be valid ways to refer to the race, although some fancier words I've thought of are Wukates, Jueyuans, Hanumins, and Vanara but I'm not really attached to any of them in particular.

[X] March of Cogs: Now with some good materials is time for some upgrades, first use the iron as material and the Storyteller new creature (Minotaur Octopus) as inspiration to create new cogs, and use half then to mine more materials and the other half to start building the foundation for the March new home base.
 
[X] Ruliana: Try to make your own servants, two-meter-tall humans with symmetrical features, silver hair, a pale complexion, and silver eyes, then mark them all with the Symbol Of Rank.

Ruliana: "Gold to silver. It's only natural."
 
[X] Tabula Rasa: What a coincidence that I have the chance to use my second miracle so soon after the first. Anyway, I have noticed, tragically, that I appear to be homeless. No place in the whole of the city to rest my head. Luckily, a new and refurnished temple has just opened up. A temple that one of my particular skills happens to compliment perfectly. I shall go to the Temple Of The Unforgiven, and I shall grant the Penitent Saints within the miracle of Forgiveness. Then I will move in. Maybe throw up some fairy lights for decoration. Who knows, maybe one day I will have mortal servants and worshipers who will like the place.

That's going to be useful.

"Don't you think intimidating and modifying an animal against it's will is slightly immoral?"
"They would continue to be a menace if I didn't, and I had a purpose in mind for them."

[X] Nhwereoma: With ride on hand, ascend to Mythos and look for the one that bothered you with singing. Offer to unite him with his beloved by way of transporting him with Gavrix there. Try to reduce the distance that would have delayed you from doing this in a week if the Smitten agrees. Fly across the world with Gavrix if he somehow declines, it can't all be sand, right?
