Back from Skyrim, gents. Today was a very productive day for me in terms of gaming, all-told; this afternoon I cleared out the Fire Temple in roughly thirty minutes, a fairly blistering pace which surprised me as I never once picked up the Compass or the Dungeon Map during this run. In Skyrim, meanwhile, I finally mastered the Unrelenting Force dragonshout (so now I can FUS RO DAH! with impugnity), and I took on a pair of giants and won.

I'll get to examining those profiles now, though don't be surprised if you guys don't hear back from me before tomorrow afternoon.

My question from the previous page still stands. Would it be alright if I used Anansi as an essence instead of Apollo?

Actually, I've got a question.

Dia, Des? Are you going to behave yourselves the next time we come across a Saint or an Angel?

Anansi's fine, Bindle. I've updated the first post of the new sign-up thread with a list of accepted characters; so far, lem's, Oni-Lord's and des' characters are all in, while chabal's and Exelixi's are awaiting revision and/or feedback.

Cat's less aggressive than Eoin, but she'd still not be cool with it. If it looked too tough to take on, she'd probably try other solutions first.

Oh, here's a question: Can Inheritors hear prayers directed at them?

Hey Boss, did you forget to mention that Axes had Hephaestus?

Actually, Axes had Vulcan if I recall correctly.

Er nope, it's on the list.

Vulcan and Hephaestus are the same being.

If that's permitted, I'm scratching Cat and applying for Nodens. *L*

Well, I'm an idjit. So there.

It's kind of sad that that's become my only retort nowadays.

. . . Come to think of it, it might actually be pretty cool to have a character with a different version of one character's god as an Essence and be his immensely-more-powerful Shadow Archetype.

And then for him to get stabbed in the face so the good guy can take his Essence and make himself whole.

<_<v

So, any thoughts on my new choice of essence?

Very interesting. Though he might end up looking kinda freaky.

And that was exactly my intention.

Kind of having trouble deciding what powers he should get though. I was thinking something along the line of illusions, webbing, and enhanced agility, though I'm not so sure about that now.

Anansi was a god of rain, wasn't he?

Er, maybe I've got that mixed up.

He was the bringer of rain, yeah, but I don't recall him being labeled as a god. Not sure how I'd implement the rain thing anyway.

Well, powerful spirit, god, same thing.

Rain can be pretty dramatic. . . Can also get some serious thanks from folks in dry areas.

Trickster Archetype, isn't he?

And pretty sure we're going with Greeks and Romans as separate, considering Colonial's robot was made by Hephaistos and Vulcan didn't mention him. (Also I have Herakles dislike Hercules, that whole "your civilization attacked mine and copied its best points" thing.)

@Sullen: Is it okay if my Inheritor starts out with a couple of weapons? I had forgotten to add it to the sheet when I posted it, but I've edited it in now.
