    I know what you're thinking. "How long will this kid clutter the thread with quests that don't get off the ground?" Well for this Quest, I decided to take a different approach.Instead of being super-ambitious, this quest will take place in only one world: Ours (kind of).

    Although I know that SV is mostly agnostic/athiest (as for myself, I'm a deist), I've always been interested in religious traditions and especially the lives of saints and prophets. Although I could be dead wrong on this, I believe the religious figures of the world were ultimately useful, because they encouraged people to treat each other nicely before the enlightenment, where we came up with the idea that you should be nice to people just because. That's why in this Quest you are a prophet. Depending on the choices you make right now, you'll either be a historical figure or made up.

    At any rate:

    Which time period will your prophet be born in?

    [] Ancient era
    [] Classical era
    [] Early middle ages
    [] Middle ages
    [] High middle ages
    [] Renaissance era
    [] Age of Reason
    [] Industrial Revolution era
    [] Modern era
    [] Contemporary era
    [] Future

    What region of the world will your prophet be born in?

    [] North America
    [] Central America
    [] South America
    [] Western Europe
    [] Eastern Europe
    [] Middle East
    [] North Africa
    [] Sub-saharan Africa
    [] East Asia
    [] South Asia
    [] Oceania

    What will be the status of the family your prophet will be born into?

    [] Governmental family (nobles and senators)
    [] Military family (Dad (or mom in a modern or future era) is a soldier of some sort)
    [] Merchant family
    [] Laborer family
    [] Skilled laborer family
    [] Artisan family
    [] Intelligentsia
    [] Poor family
    [] No family: Orphan
    [] Religious family
    [] Farmer family

    What religion will you either believe in, bring about, or be the most sympathetic to?

    [] Early Christianity
    [] Protestant Christianity
    [] Catholic Christianity
    [] Classical beliefs (Think Hellenism (Y'know Zeus and stuff))
    [] Islam
    [] Buddhism
    [] Sikhism
    [] Zoroastrianism
    [] Hinduism
    [] Irreligion
    [] Traditional religion

    Hope you guys have fun!

    Honestly, I think this choice is better for the next stage of char gen. Because religious options heavily depend on area and era. For example, Catholic Christianity anywhere but Europe and maybe Asia before the Renaissance is basically impossible.

    If you voted Catholic Christianity for the religious system and anything before the renaissance as your time period, then your prophet would declare himself an incarnation of the one true God.

    Basically, if the religion you are picking could not exist anywhere in the world during the time period(Such as Islam in the ancient era), then your prophet will invent it. If the religion already exists somewhere else but could not be heard of where you are, then you will invent a religion similar to it.

    Ness' plan sounds fun.
    People, think of the odds against us.
     
    I really like the idea of trying to retake Europe from that usurper.
    Maybe we could start of in Venice or Genoa

    Medieval Europe and a Traditionally Religious prophet? Naw. All you gotta do is wank the Germanic migrations with us.
    For South America in the renaissance period? Meh. Tech gap and diseases will be tougher.

    You do realize that going against the catholic church in early medieval europe would probably be even more difficult.
