A Game of Gods: Infinities

Go To

It has been a year since the final challenge took place.

It has been a year since the traitorous creature known as Omega was exiled to a place of void an nothingness. It has been a year since an unlikely group of beings fought their way free from the clutches of their captors, the enigmatic Nomads, who had forced them to take part in a bizarre series of competitions for their own amusement. And it seemed that, for a time, the Nomad's machinations had ended, and the people of the myriad realities were free to live their lives free of divine interference.

They were wrong.

Now, a year after the final Challenge, strange new forces are beginning to conspire. Old and new beings alike will find themselves caught up in a brand new quest for survival and freedom among unlikely backdrops, a quest that will bring them to the edge of... infinity.

Hello, and welcome to the signup thread for A Game Of Gods: Infinities. First of all, thanks for taking an interest in the thread, and I hope you'll sign up for this game. As the old Forum RP hands are familiar with, all the standard rules apply- autohitting, godmodding, ghosting, metagaming, etc. are unacceptable like in any other game.

_________________

Challenges

The basic premise of the game is quite similar to last season, with a group of heroes and/or villains taking on challenges, often pitting them against heroes or villains from another universe. To begin with, we will be working through a glut of challenges leftover from the previous round, but after that people will be able to suggest and implement their own challenges.

This season, Two challenges will usually run at once. A secondary challenge will takeplace alongside the primary challenge, giving new layers something to do or an alternative to the primary challenge. This may affect what happens to your character in the long run, so choose wisely!

If you have an idea for a challenge, feel free to consult any of the GMs: Stratofarious, Troydenite and Flanker66. Remember, if nothing else, please try to keep challenges brief and manageable! 2 weeks is the maximum time a challenge should take, and please be sure that you or someone else will be able to see it through to completion.

Hey guys, SOCR got me interested in this, and I heard you were accepting. SOCR mentioned you were on the League Of Legends challenge and the choice was obvious. tongue

  • Name: Nasus, The Curator of the Sands.
  • Appearance: Pic. Nasus is an eight foot tall jackal-headed humanoid, clan in golden armor and armed with an emerald green magical staff. In his powered-up form, his skin and armor both take a cracked gray appearance, surrounded by a swirling sandstorm, while his size doubles.
  • Universe: Runeterra, modern day(just after Skarner emerged).
  • Abilities: Nasus' primary ability is his Siphoning Strike, an attack which grows more powerful with each enemy it slays(probably would be reset after each challenge), which begins somewhat weak but in time grows to be a fearsome attack. He can temporarily age enemies by several decades, summon a circle of spiritual flames, and can summon a raging sandstorm, transforming himself into a juggernaut of destruction. The last ability, his "ultimate" ability, is incredibly powerful, making him faster and much, much, stronger, but only lasts for a short while and he must let it recharge before using it again.

His mastery of aging magic and sand is low at this point, but if accepted I'll develop it throughout the storyline so he isn't stuck with four abilities.

It's a bit tough to convert abilities in a game to a free-form RP but I think this works. If anyone has any constructive criticism on the abilities, I'd love to hear it.

Seems reasonable to me. Now then, the Lo L challenge begins here; you don't have to read far to get a grasp on the situation, as it is explained on the very next page. Still, reading through it, while not necessary, is encouraged.

Yep, pretty much. Have you read the beginning of the challenge yet? I know it can seem a little daunting and confusing, given that there's a whole lotta players and two separate challengers occurring more or less simultaneously...

Read it all, from beginning of the challenge to your last post. I was tossing around the idea that he might have been one of the champions that was originally fighting the Void team, but I think SOCR had other ideas.

Either way, my League Of Legends knowledge shall finally be put to use! grin

Well, the way I figured it at least, either Nasus was en route to the Field of Justice to assist but was delayed for some reason and only just arrived...or, he was one of those who fought the Void champs, as you suggested, and simply recovered far more quickly than the other League!Champions.

Of course, that's just me; I'm only the sub-GM of this particular challenge.

I think I have to give Subaru a rest. Its just not fun to try and push a post out for her anymore, and if I'm not having fun...well...why bother playing?

That said, given that she is leaving, does that mean that a slot opens up for someone else and I have to wait?

Alrighty then!

  • Name: General Grievous (Qymaen jai Sheelal formerly)
  • Appearance: See picture. Also, Grievous often has a dark grey cape with red interior wrapped around his shoulders that conceals his body.
  • Universe: Star Wars, Clone Wars (around 20-25 years before the battle of Yavin)
  • Abilities/Powers: Grievous is a cyborg, being more metal than flesh, with only his internal organs and parts of his head still intact. He is encased in a droid body modeled on the Krath War Droid, and is highly mobile and flexible, employing maneuvers most biological creatures would find impossible. Standing in at 2.16 meters tall, Grievous literally towers over most beings, although he often adopts a hunched appearance for conversation. Grievous uses his height and his cape to intimidate his foes, concealing his skeletal robotic body underneath until he has to move quickly. His is known as both a brilliant and a brutal tactician, openly using civilians to increase his chances of victory. He's also pragmatic (Some might call it cowardly) in escaping if things go against him. Grievous hunted Jedi for sport, keeping the four lightsabers of his most powerful victims within his cloak as trophies of his superiority. Taught all seven main forms of lightsaber combat by Count Dooku, he developed a personalized unorthodox fighting form, involving prolonged lightning-fast flurries and power moves designed to overwhelm his enemies. Each of his six-fingered arms could split lengthwise in two, thus giving Grievous the ability to use four limbs, each armed with a lightsaber. Also, his clawed feet could double as hands in combat, allowing him to switch limbs on the fly and catch an opponent off guard. Able to spin these arms in a whirling storm of deadly lacerating light, he was able to spin his torso and his wrists in a 360 degree motion at extremely fast speeds continuously, effectively becoming a lightsaber buzz-saw. In addition to this, Grievous had repulsorlifts built into his legs, allowing his feet to double as hands. This would allow him to wield six lightsabers all at once. Grievous also had a tendency to use unorthodox and underhanded methods in order to win a lightsaber duel; for example, against Nahdar Vebb he used a blaster to kill him while Vebb was defending himself from his lightsabers and against Eeth Koth he used his Magna Guard to shock the Jedi Master into submission once Koth began to gain the upper hand. Grievous' mechanical body allowed him to survive in the vacuum of space, and was also known as a gifted pilot.

I'm sending Masha back to Gensokyo, and replacing her with Nanoha after the Recettear challenge is over. So, here's her bio:

  • Name: Takamachi Nanoha
  • Appearance: The White Devil
  • Universe: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, about two weeks after the Book of Darkness incident.
  • Abilities/Powers: Even at such a young age, Nanoha is a powerful combat mage. Utilizing her intelligent device, Raising Heart, she can focus her magical abilties into powerful barriers or magical attacks. Utilizing the Belkan Cartridge System, she can boost these magical abilities further, in order to preform devestating attacks. However, such power magic will often use up a lot of energy(and often takes multiple clips of cartridges).

Right, character change. Hopefully, Cap won't be as passive as S Ly was.

  • Name: Steve Rogers/Captain America
  • Appearence: For freedom!
  • Universe: Marvel Comics, after his appearent death following the Civil War.
  • Abilities/Powers: As a result of his exposure to the experimental Super-Soldier Serum, Captain America's strength, speed, and agility have been enhanced to the height of human potential. He wields a shield composed of an iron-vibranium alloy. The shield has, so far, proven to be completely indestructible. The shield can be used as a melee weapon or can be thrown in such a manner that it will return to him like a boomerang.
