csyphrett Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Children of the Gods: Since we are doing the World Creation Draft next month and we did the adopted children of the UA at the start of the year, I thought what would happen if we combined the two for a month. We've already done a draft like this, but I couldn't find it with the search. Here's the premise in a nutshell. Various planes of existences have been disrupted. Pantheons of gods and their supporters have gone to war with the menace from beyond order and defeated it at a cost. Their numbers have been depleted and their responsibilities are threatening to sink Reality under the strain. Something has to be done. After much argument, it was decreed that the surviving gods and goddesses would produce heirs to take up the dead gods' mantles. But something wants to stop them. The first pick is the location of the pantheon. This is where your children are being raised and guarded. The next fifteen picks are five days of three picks apiece. One pick is the god/goddess, the second is the mortal mate/SO, the third is the offspring. You have three option picks for weapons of the gods, various menaces, so forth You have one option for a villain/god of evil that threatens your children. You can mix and match pantheons so that Apollo's, Huang's, and Thor's children are being raised together. Please do not pick real people. As usual Power Girl and Supergirl are separate people and once you pick one version of that person all alternates are off the table. Any god that is not picked for the draft is considered dead and his sphere of influence needing to be filled to relieve the multiverse. The draft starts on Wednesday at 5pm Eastern Standard. So roughly 36 hours from right now CES L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gods/goddesses for the god slot, superheroes are acceptable for the SO slot, your fictional kid based on the parents in the kid slot. So Apollo and and Power Girl begets Iona Starr, a little girl who is going to grow up to be a rocking sun goddess one day. Gods: Just mythical or are fictional gods acceptable? Offspring: We're drafting these or making them up? I suppose fictional gods need a place. We're making the kids up. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 In all seriousness, though, let me make sure I understand the three daily character picks: A) A god(dess) from an existing pantheon, classical or otherwise; 2) An existing professionally-published superhero; and Ω) An amalgam-type offspring character of our own creation. Yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes? It doesn't have to be a superhero, just a professionally fictional person. CES Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aztec/incan pyramids, the giant mounds, the nazca lines? I admit I didn't think about some of the pantheons not having places like Olympus or Asgard. That's on me.
