WAAAAAAAAAA-
In the beginning, before the time of Civilisation, there were seven old gods. The Allfather placed them upon the world to create and facilitate the wonderful things he had in store for it.
But as of yet they have not come to pass: These old gods bent to the will of the Hungering Dark, and rejected their purpose and role. Without the Allfather they twisted and contorted into mere shadows of what they were formerly; Now only creatures of hatred and debauchery. And so the World of Avren began on the path of self-destruction.
However, that was not how the story would end.
In Avren, a number of new gods were formed. Though only a quarter of the might of the fully-formed old gods, these new Demigods were marked by the world to which they were born, but the soul of a foreign Allfather. They would be given a new choice, a second chance for Avren. The Allfather sparked these new beings; so that their journey would, perhaps, save Avren from itself. ...Under the condition that they de-throne the old gods from the world, and lead a new dispensation. The Allfather gave over creation to these beings: They were to repair the damage done to Avren by the old gods. Be it through mercy or pain.
You are a new god in the world of Avren. Loathed by the old gods more then they loathe each other (Truly a feat indeed!), you were designed to usurp control over a dying planet. But your fate, as always, lives in the palm of your hand...
Hello! Just a small and not too terribly long RP I had an idea for. The gist here is that you are a pantheon of gods (an Idea I've done multiple times), like Ages Eternal, for those of you familiar with my older ideas I've tossed out here. the new element in this one is that you will not be the first gods in the world; players will need to take over from or otherwise use their wits to convince the old gods that they're now in charge. Besides that, while players will still hopefully have time to create, but this RP will be more story-driven then my others.
Character Guidelines
Characters are gods and goddesses, that said: Any player character is 1/4 as powerful as any one Old god. All players characters are exactly equal in power to each other,and their can only be 8 of our characters at any given time (So if you have a second character, please kill them off when/if you do not wish to continue them). EDIT: Each of us can have at most 2 godly characters living at one time, with no limit to mortal characters. Characters are semi-expected to create a civilization, though this can be after the RP ends. Finally, you are not expected to succeed at the mission exactly as it is laid out. For instance: alliances, temporary or otherwise, are fine. After the RP's mission it will end, and we may or may not reopen the RP to new players and continue the story we started.

Old gods
Jyella, The Green Maiden, goddess of Lust and Forests
Destructive in her envy and dangerous in beauty, Jyella is the queen of confusion and the lost. Her Heralds are the Oak Trees, which each have a Nymph in them as there protectors. She despises Lutune and Komes.
Orasiil, the Devouring one, god of Lies and Beasts
The devouring one seeks only for another meal. Savage and monstrous, Orasiil despises order and structure. His Heralds are the worlds massive Dire Beasts; vicious giant mutations of various predators. He despises Lutune and Oella.
Lutune, Dark Lady, goddess of Oppression and Mountains
Dark Lady Lutune is incapable of accepting superiors, much in the same way her rival Orasiil does. Contrary to Orasiil, the Dark Lady is driven for power and glory above all else. Her heralds are the cavern dwelling beasts and things of darkness, and she despises Jyella and Orasiil.
The Whale, god of excess and the Sea
The Whale is nameless and faceless, once a god of joy, he has been twisted into a god of gluttony. His heralds are numerous sea monsters whose hungers are never quenched, and he loathes Laasis and Oella above all the others.
Oella, the Herdchieftess, goddess of Sloth and Grasslands
Taking the form of a mighty herding animal not unlike an Elephant, Oella is paradoxically discontent and incapable of understanding contentment to be found elsewhere. She constantly thirsting for something she does not have, but never able to move to find it. She draws joy by seeing this behavior in others. Her heralds are the Elephants and other very large, grazing animals, and she hates Orasiil and the Whale.
Komes, the burning king, god of hatred and fire
God of war, hatred and passion, Komes is alway altogether too eager for conflict, and most of the conflicts between the old gods can be traced back to him. His Heralds are the Ogres, who are incapable of working together unless for the cause of destroying something or someone. He loathes Laasis and Jyella.
Laasis, goddess of Insanity and Winter
Like many of the old gods, Laasis hates inferiority. Her solution is to reject sanity and logic itself; It is much easier to be superior in a paradigm of your own invention! Her herald is the terrifying White-eyed Curse, a virus which takes other life and divorces it from reason itself. Her Enemies are Komes and the Whale.
