3	''[[MeaningfulName Divinity]]'' is a forum-based roleplay on the ''Website/GaiaOnline'' website; the thread of which can be found here [[http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/series-related-miscellaneous-role-play/adv-ic/t.73507473/ here]].

5	A historic fantasy set in a pseudo-[[JidaiGeki Feudal Japan]], ''Divinity'' tells a story that -- quite literally -- spans centuries and entire lifetimes. On the surface, it is a story of war told on a personal level: the conflict between the [[{{Samurai}} elite forces]] of the conquerors and the conquered, the Country of the Sun's Eikou and the Land of the Moon's Wardens. Beside them are a mix-and-match group of {{Youkai}} who [[FantasticRacism may or may not be able to stand each other]]. Each individual's dedication and reason for fighting are entirely their own, be it moral or not. But that's only the tip of the iceberg -- some of the {{Samurai}} aren't human at all. They're the living reincarnations of [[PhysicalGod gods]], reborn after a brutal fight with their greatest enemy who just so happens, unfortunately, to also have been reborn.

8
9	* AllWorkVsAllPlay: Getsuryuu versus Aisari or Arashi.
10	* BigBad: Yamata-no-Orochi.
11	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lots. Actually, pretty much everyone.
12	* FriendlyRivalry: Sakuma and Akihiro.
13	* GodInHumanForm: Eight of them, to be exact -- though it's more a case of {{Reincarnation}}.
14	* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Likely.
15	* Myth/JapaneseMythology: Adapted and changed, but clearly the inspiration.
16	* JerkAss: There's a few of them lurking around.
17	* JidaiGeki: It's pretty much a copy-paste of the Bakumatsu era, plus sun or moon motif depending on country.
18	* LightIsNotGood: Played with; the ''sun'' country is the conquerors, while the moon [[DarkIsNotEvil just wants their freedom back]].
19	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: The captains are the strongest of their respective groups.
20	* RedOniBlueOni: Sakuma and Akihiro. Sakuma as the calm-headed [[TheStoic stoic]] captain and Akihiro as the HotBlooded, temperamental vice-captain.
21	* {{Samurai}}: Every single human in the cast is one.
22	* ThemeNaming: All over the place.
23	* {{Youkai}}: Many, including [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]], Oni, {{Yukionna}}, Ookami, Karasu {{Tengu}} (and a Yatagarasu), {{Nekomata}}, and even a Dragon.
