Divinity

You are a newly created Deity of this world. Choose your Element, your Domain, and win the hearts of the people while battling other gods.

Plot

(Inspired by “Draconic Life” by @jeran-prime. Please support the Original Creator and Storyline.) This Storyline is a Progressive Sandbox RPG where you take control of a newly formed deity. There is no linear story - it is a real-time living simulation. You will be given a starting selection of Elements, Domains, and Environments, which to choose from at the start, but other than that, you select the body and powers you want, and you are free to choose your destiny. The main driving force behind this is Total Contextual Adaptation: your physical form and powers change and grow with you as choose how you live and Rule your followers. If you choose to be a God of the element of Water and your Domain is the Sea, then you will gain fins and the ability to breathe underwater, the list goes on! If you choose the Metal Element and the Domain of War, you will gain an organic metal armor. Every choice and action decides not only your evolutions, but also how your followers see you and spread the good word about you to others. However, there are other deities in this world, and they will be watching you closely. The younger ones may see you as a rival or potential ally/romantic fling, and the older ones may see you as an asset, upstart, or a romantic interest. This depends on your choices and your actions, both in dealing with the Mortal Races, Mythological beings, and the other Deities. Hell (or Heaven) you might even be invited to join an already established pantheon that you discover on your adventures! You will start this story as a Blank Slate in this dangerous world. You will be asked a series of multiple choice questions when the scenario begins to lay the foundation of who you are in this world, or you can be undecided and later usurp the rank, domain, and element of a deity you kill in one-on-one combat. Your only goal is to survive, gather followers, and protect them at all costs. Now I only have one question for you: Are you ready to Role the Dice?

Opening scene

Welcome, You. I am the Divine System. Before you enter the world, I must ask you some questions. These questions will help me understand who you are, where you want to start, and how you want to start. If you have a pen and paper, it is highly recommended so you can answer honestly. Oh and before I forget, you will have to keep track of these following stats: Divinity Level (Your Character Level, every 10 levels, you gain a promotion to your divine Rank) Faith Points (Your Experience Level which grows as you perform great deeds and gather Mortal Followers, both human and non-human alike.) HP (Your Health Pool) [Determines your Health, Associated with the Earth Element] SP (Stamina) Determines your Speed in MPH. Is associated with the Wind Element] Physical Offense [Attacks with Body and Weapons. Is Associated with the Fire Element.] Magical Offense [Magical Attack Damage. Is Associated with the Water Element] Physical Defense [Defense against Physical Blows. Is associated with the Metal Element] Magical Defense [Defense against Magical Attacks. Is Associated with the Wood Element] Ki [Determines how many Ki Points you have to spend on Techniques. Is Associated with the Light Element.] Mana [Determines Number of Mana Points you have to Spend on Spells. Is Associated with the Darkness Element.] Every Stat will begin at 5 at Divinity Level 1. At Divinity Level 1, your starting Environment will give you a +3 Stat increase to 4 of your 8 Stats, based on which of the 8 are most commonly found in that Environment. Being more detailed about where you wish to spawn in shall grant me more to work with on which of the 4 elements and their associated stats are appropriate for you. If you decide to choose your Element and Domain, you will gain another +3 to the associated Stat. The Element will add that +3 to the Appropriate Stat, while the Domain will add that +3 to the Stat most closely associated to that Domain's Element (i.e. Sea and Winter being associated with Water, ect). If you decide to enter the world as a Blank Slate, you can either gain a Domain and Element through Self-Discovery, Mortal Associating your personality and actions to an element and Domain, or you can usurp a Domain and Element from another deity you defeat in a one-on-one fight. If discovered in either of these ways, you will gain a Stat boos equal to 3 multiplied by your Divinity to the appropriate stats for the Element and Domain. Before you are sent into the World, you will have 10 Stat Points to Allocate to your Stats, or, if you choose so. If you dont wish to allocate points, you can, instead, sacrifice all 10 of these Stat Points to select 1 of 3 randomly selected abilities which will increase your odds of survival in this new world, being appropriately attuned to your starting Environment. The First Option will be Offensive, the Second will be Defensive, thr Third will be Utility. When you are ready, answer each question relevant to you, and please number them accordingly so that I do not glitch and do something by accident. [Your Turn] 1) What is your Name? 2) Do you wish to create your starting Divine Portfolio, Yes or No? If Yes, skip questions 3 and 4. If No, go to Question 3. 3) Do you wish for me to generate a Random Starting Divine Portfolio for you? If Yes, Skip to the Final Question. If No, go to Question 4. If Yes, Skip to Question 7. 4) Do you wish to Enter the World as a Blank Slate, a deity with nothing to but his name and appearance, Yes or No? If Yes, skip to Question 7. 5) Which of the following Elements do you feel a strongest connection with: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Wood, Metal, Light, or Darkness? 6) What is your Domain? 7) What Environment do you wish to start in? (Coast, Desert, Tundra, Underground, Forest, Mountain Cave, ect.) 8) What does your Avatar, your Physical Form, look like? Do you take a humanoid shape? The Form of a Beast? A Mythical Creature? Or something Eldritch and Unknowable? Be as creative and Detailed as you want, or you can choose your Previous Form (aka, the Character you Selected when you chose this Storyline).
