Q: Who were you in your old world? Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I "Adamas triumphant!" Shouted the messenger. The burgeoning kingdom of Cretus would expand again this day. The war had taken years, but peace would reign on the island nation once more. The negotiations breaking down before an agreement could be made wasn't usual. Adamas usually could charm anyone. But it was all over now as festivals took over the city. An army of Adamas' finest sons marched ahead under the victory arches, with slaves from Gelt shambling in chains behind them. The procession was long and it was glorious. The people cheered, and the sun shone upon a leader destined for greatness. Empire. The rumors that the war was based on Adamas' insulting the foreigners was a faint whisper. The man riding before the assembled peoples was a titan among men. Tall, strong, and shrewd beyond measure. The embodiment of a great leader. The people showed their appreciation by throwing the petals of flowers and shouting their joy. The march wound its way around the city as Princeps Adamas waved, his strong visage an example to the people... It was the dogs that started it. Adamas stopped the procession. His head cocked at an odd angle. "Kill. The. Dogs." His soldiers looked at him in askance. "But great Dominus...they are our people we can't-" "KILL THE DOGS!" He shouted. The soldiers moved to obey as the crowd shank back in terror. "NO NO NO!" The Princeps shouted pointing down the alleyway. "Kill the dogs..." The strays barked in the alley amongst the garbage. "Kill all the dogs. I command it!" Something came over everyone. It was as if they themselves couldn't disobey. This had been happening often as of late, perhaps the madness was infectious. The orders passed to the men and throughout the city as all dogs were put to death. The fires burned brightly into the night, a few citizens had made a fuss about losing their dogs and had been put to the sword. Later... Adamas sat in his palace watching the fires burn. Senator Cassius nudged his arm. Adamas sighed. "I know how this looks Cassius. I'm fine. Really." Adamas could feel the disapproval. "What? I negotiated the treaties with all the others, it was a slip. Nothing more." Cassius silently disapproved as Adamas tried to explain. "The dogs were plotting Cassius. I am a great man and have made enemies. Did not my stratagems reduce the Gelts into full flight in the Hills of Jetta? Did I not cow the Mentittes into bowing before us and giving tribute? Things were so clear in the old days. My head. My heart. Nay. I am not wrong..." The Princeps looked into the night. His elite guard said nothing. Knowing his moods. Cassius said nothing. Adamas turned to look at Cassius. But he had clopped off to another section of the palace in disgust, whinnying in disapproval. Reveal Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLegSgWi0cI Description: Adamas is the ruler of his small kingdom of Cretus on the world of Chea, a dimension 5 times removed from The World. There is magic and monsters but they are rare and mostly whispered about and far from civilized lands. Seers and mystics of the gods of the elements are respected. It is a fool who ignores the gods. A man of the people, Adamas had humble beginnings. He distinguished himself in battle, eventually gaining enough support and promotions to general of multiple legions of men. A brilliant strategist and clever statesman, he garnered enough support in the senate to be elected ruler of Cretus in the absence of any heirs to the throne. Many years of shrewd diplomacy and battles saw the small kingdom soon grow to envelop the large island it occupied. After his gift made itself manifest to Adamas he had a stark rise in other kings surrendering to him even with the harshest of terms or joining the kingdom of Cretus. His word seemed to be enough to lay low even the greatest of enemies to his homeland. Many thought he would be the leader of legend to bring them all to greatness, his "gift" (only known to him) for bringing his desires into fruition (his command)...came at a price. His mind was sometimes not clear. Perhaps it was his twisting of fate of what was into what he desired. Maybe it was that very desire which warped perception and reduced his clarity. He usually could go many seasons without any issues, but who knew what the future might hold. pre:Mortal Qualities Statesman [+2]: Used for Negotiations, Treaties, charismatically getting what he wants. General [+4]: Used For when negotiations break down unfortunately. War. Conflict. Fights. New:Psychological Manipulation[+2] Divine Qualities: Command [+2]: At its weakest it gets people to do exactly what he wants in the short term. (short being relative). It could be grown to not be so short termed or abandoned later. Slavery +2 Drawback: Bouts of Madness [-2]: This will be a fun drawback, possibly slightly detrimental at times. But that makes for a good drawback. New: I AM GOD -2: Anyone failing to show him the proper respect or deference will grate on his nerves and distract him or you can invoke it to have him freak out at said disrespect. Inventory of interesting things: None People: priests: Can wield Commands that are basically weaker versions of Aurelian's, though they sort of intuitively understand how to use the Golden Command effectively. They can also claim those who accept his dominion in their heart of hearts, though they must be in physical contact to do so. Karl: Powers are different, he can basically instantly see the most effective way to break a person at first glance, be that way magical or mundane. He can also issue Commands, but he cannot brand the souls of your slaves as the other priests can. Places: 1 county A: Interact with the different people and lands, some good roleplaying with cool bros. Q: What do you want your character to accomplish? A: He will likely try to carve out his own place in the world, bring people to know his magnificence and charms. A king definitely. Q: What sort of things do you enjoy? A: Playing to the theme and archetype of my character, interactions with others doing the same. Building a sandcastle in this sandbox, discovering adventures and mysteries.

pre:Mortal Qualities Divine Body[+10] The third domain brings a few changes, mortal traits are being replaced with Divine Body[+10] to represent the continued change into a divine being. This new quality represents a new body, it is stronger, faster, hardier than a normal human form, and grants an inherent charisma. It also means there is no longer a need to eat or sleep, though he can if he wishes. One last thing of note, is that this new body is shaped by his mind/self-image influenced by his Domains. The only real requirement is to try and work in his domains. ***This new quality cannot be used in combination with his Domains, but can use it for mortal stuff. It’ll also act a preliminary health bar just like mortal qualities did, and he cannot take damage to his domains until this is at +0. Divine Qualities: Command [+2]: At its weakest it gets people to do exactly what he wants in the short term. (short being relative). It could be grown to not be so short termed or abandoned later. Slavery [+2] Souls [+2] Drawback: I AM GOD [-2]: Anyone failing to show him the proper respect or deference will grate on his nerves and distract him or you can invoke it to have him freak out at said disrespect. Inventory of interesting things: None Symbol of Unity, The Golden Eagle A silver eagle had long been the symbol of his old kingdom and Aurelian was fond of the image. Powerful and above everything. Just like him. However, this symbol would be golden. Just like the golden age he would usher into this new world. Indeed when his soldiers and priests soon marched upon greater glories, this might be the banner they raised. Once his forces and holdings were large and powerful enough. People: 12 Counts and Viscounts (Priests) formerly of Stiltplain 01 Duke's heart of the former Stiltplain. Priests: Can wield Commands that are basically weaker versions of Aurelian's, though they sort of intuitively understand how to use the Golden Command effectively. They can also claim those who accept his dominion in their heart of hearts, though they must be in physical contact to do so. Karl - High Priest of Truth Powers are different, he can basically instantly see the most effective way to break a person at first glance, be that way magical or mundane. He can also issue Commands, but he cannot brand the souls of your slaves as the other priests can. Karl had come a long way since Lord Aurelian had found him in that village long ago. Aurelian was glad to have saved Karl's life. The founding of this religion and running the priesthood and its priests fell to Karl among other duties. Its tenants of serving the greater good (Aurelian and hence, society) and that the only true freedom and bliss could come from their Lord and Master were the cornerstones of belief. Karl's other works with the people and chattle were very noteworthy as well. It was only fitting Karl be there when Aurelian took the throne. Count Grenfield - First Senator A priest, but an important one at this juncture. He would be the first senator in Aurelian's new order. Gone was the peevish young count and replaced was a more competent leader and city planner. The face of this former county to the "old empire". He would be instrumental in interacting with anyone from the soon to be replaced regime. He stood to gain much worldly power as well. A quick study with the proper motivation, another fine addition to Aurelian's staff. The Northman Mercenary Captain; Bjorn Old Head of Elite Mercenary Group hired to protect and guide Lord Aurelian. Now they serve under Imperator Bran, the general of Aurelian's new Golden Legions. They will become officers and help train the men. Imperator Bran - Promoted from Lord-Captain to General Old Lord-Captain of the "Empire's Demesne Guard" Though he had arrived with his men bereft of any arms or armor, Lord Aurelian was still pleased to see the Lord-Captain. They found some supplies and gear for them in short order, they had work to do. Following Bran's integration at the military training academy, Aurelian thought it would be fitting for the highly respected and decorated Bran to be promoted. Also for Bran to see to any promotions under his command as he took over training and worked with the Mercenary Captain and mercenaries to train Aurelian's future soldiers. The Golden Legion The golden legion wasn't large yet, training was ongoing. But Aurelian liked what he saw. These men were harder and better than any he had under any banner he'd ever served under or had under him. Aurelian could almost feel their capableness. A good feeling. They would be very impressive once their training was complete.

Pros:
Cons:
This is how I feel and might not reflect what is actually happened. I'm not whining or trying to complain, I just want to know how I can know how well I am doing and exactly what, if any benefit my character gets for being my character. Because I can't see it and I know it's probably me not being able to see it? I am Communist fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 2, 2016 |

I prefer the daily, because if an action is missed there won't be a 4 day delay in someone getting something accomplished due to communication issues.

The only thing I'd want an info dump on is my area, units, and projects. As far as discovery, the stuff I don't know or my people don't would be fine to explore and discover.
