The Pantheon's House Uprisings
While the deities of each House usually intend to keep their respective Houses from intruding upon others, the nature of tropes and some of their more zealous holders means that eventually, some gods will inevitably go overboard in their causes regarding aspects of their own Houses or perhaps other Houses they feel more in tune with. These groups are classified as Uprisings, due to being based on domains and themes related to one of the Houses in the Pantheon. Uprisings compromise of several movements with distinct and varying goals regarding the theme of the Uprising, but unlike Alliances, the movements that make them up do not necessarily get along well, and may even come into conflict with one another. Due to the mayhem and uproar these movements can cause being difficult to manage for even the House leaders, deities keep track of what kinds of characters would be in which movements within an Uprising.
Important Guideline - You do not need to ask for approval on the forum to contribute, unlike profiles!
Unlike profiles, there is no need to go on the forum to discuss whether a character would belong in an Uprising or not. Given that the character in question is currently in the Pantheon anyway note , contributors are expected to instead read the guidelines below, as well as the Alliance pages sufficiently and decide for themselves whether the character in question is fit for a certain Alliance subdivision and how. Assuming you know what you are doing, you can freely put in your entry into the appropriate page, no need to mention it in the forum. Other contributors will judge whether the entry belongs or not, and if not, it will be either moved to a better place or get removed (hopefully with a stated edit reason).
The minimal requirements for creating a new Uprising is at least 3 groups that can be qualified as movements, preferably with 8+ profiles featured each, all tied to a theme related to a House, but with contrasting methodologies and perspectives as well.
- Uprisings in the Pantheon are by definition, not an ordinary group of deities, but a cluster of different groups with theme-related goals, but with different methodologies to reach those goals. Perhaps a deity may have the natural ability to be a bigger deal in an Uprising's movement than others. However, it does NOT justify making the movement itself themed around the character themselves but only the general cause they represent. Movements themselves will not necessarily get along, so it makes little sense for one person to be relevant to every movement in an Uprising. As with Alliances and other groups, the main reason a deity would belong in a movement within an Uprising is if their actions or motives are relevant to the Uprising's theme itself.
Movements in the Pantheon primarily clash with deities of opposing themes and other movements in their Uprising, but can also try to avoid it.
- While Uprisings in general aim to increase their influence in the Pantheon, movements don't typically work together unlike Alliances. Where Alliance subdivisions are expected to cooperate, Uprising movements will struggle against each other to represent their causes, or outperform them. While some movements are more prone to action and conflict than others, some movements are more inviting to deities who are able to contribute to the prosperity of their movement in more peaceful or mundane ways.
These pages let characters elaborate further on interactions with their related House and characters of similar or conflicting causes.
- Uprisings are meant to allow more writing for characters that elaborate on both their perspectives and actions toward other movements, whether they share similar interests or have contrasting methods to deities who seek the same goal. Or perhaps it can discuss interactions with deities of contrasting themes to the Uprising they're in. However, while Uprisings serve as a convenient way for character's profiles to classify groups of deities with contrasting goals and motives and elaborate on them, a character's main perspectives on the themes that an Uprising touches upon should be profile content first and foremost, since Uprisings are still secondary content in comparison.
Deity Name & Trope-Based Title
- Ranking (Their Divine Ranking)
- Symbol + Alignment (Their symbol and alignment according to their profile.)
- Reason for joining (Deities should be in it or willing to join it to contribute toward the particular movement they're joining in the Pantheon.)
- Dedication (Represents how much the character cares about the causes and values of the movement in respect to their own agendas and the meaning they find in participating in such a movement.)
- Role (A general explanation about their intended duties & contributions toward their movement in general, as well as how they deal with other movements within their uprising, whether in a friendly or hostile manner.)
House Uprising List
Nature Uprising
The Nature Uprising consists of nature-affiliated deities that want us to respect the gifts of the earth, and for mortals to not take its ways for granted. Whether others like it or not, they'll get their message heard, whether through peace or violence. Movements include:- Eternity Blessing: A movement for guardians and progenitors of life and nature that desires further attention and respect toward creation and the natural world, some may even believe in technological regression. Regardless, the prosperity of nature and natural life itself is their top priority.
- Terra Restoration Squad: The main objective of this movement is restore the thriving of nature within areas of barren wastelands or devastation, on top of keeping deities of pollution in check. Usually tend to a moral movement that respects civil developments, but are very watchful of industrial and business giants that may threaten nature.
- Gaea's Avengers: An extremist movement that consists of deities that seek to "humble" those who would take the gifts of nature for granted. Members must prove to be able to set aside their mercy for their duty in eliminating any who would dare endanger the natural environments and ecosystems that make up the many worlds and realms within the Pantheon.
Machine Uprising
The Machine Uprising consists of factions of various machines, A.I.s, and other digital and mechanical creations that demand more prevalence in the Pantheon. Whether they'll do it with a tender hand, an iron fist, or turning your veins into circuits depends on which groups among the Uprising you meet. Movements include:- The Assimilation: A movement for the Machine deities that seek either the conversion of organic mass into mechanical, if not all other life in general, or eliminating organics that cannot be converted.
- Rex Machina: A movement that seeks to make Machine-kind and their calculating ways superior to their creators. While having distinct goals from The Assimilation, they usually tend to be just as oppressive toward the likes of those made of flesh and bone.
- Gears Of Liberation: A gentler counter-movement in the Machine Uprising that desires a mutually beneficial co-existence between machine and man, even if it means dealing with more antagonistic movements in the Uprising. They are also the most accepting of members who aren't robots or artificial creations but are similarly aligned in their goals.
- Clockwork Union: These machine deities don't want to antagonize their creators nor organics, but care about robot and machine independence the most, even if mainly prioritizing their own safety above others. Often seen as a neutral movement within the Uprising, not that it prevents them from getting into conflict with those who oppose machines like them.
