GOD BOONS

INFORMATION

With the gods at war with each other, they offer tantalizing additional bonuses to their loyal followers -- but these also come with a few strings attached. Will you join a side, or remain neutral in the conflict?

Characters can be recruited in two ways: by the god, or by a god follower. The gods can open their realms to anyone at any time if a character wishes to enter. Followers always have access to their god's respective realms, and can bring in a recruit to swear allegiance.

The gods will not punish a character if they leave their side; that would only solidify their resolve to leave. However, they will remove any boons and bonuses they might have granted them. If the character rejoins, their status with be reset to entry level, and they will need to work their way up in the ranks once more.

HOW TO ALLY WITH A GOD AND RECEIVE BOONS

When a character completes a tier requirement, you can submit the form below to have them receive acknowledgment and rewards. Threads don't have to be finished at the time of submission, but they should be a good way through, and please don't handwave them entirely. You may request as many of the listed tier rewards as you like once you've reached the appropriate tier.

You may notice sections for "Offering Description" and "Reward Description". The table below is just a sample of the boons available and the requirements to get them. You don't have to do or ask for these exact things. You may choose to replace any of the listed deeds or rewards with an appropriate substitute of your own design, and they will be judged on an individual basis.

The gods favor certain traits and actions of their followers. The Fog God, for instance, values strength, freedom, and invoking fear in others. She highly encourages her children to live freely, without the inhibitions of human society. Some examples can include demonstrating the power of monsters to frighten the human populace, killing a rival in revenge, disrupting a serious occasion just for the hell of it, or generally doing things without caring for the consequences.

On the other hand, the Fourth God values cunning, subterfuge, and control. His priorities lie in furthering the technology of the peninsula, introducing progress to the world, and standing up against the Fog God. Some examples of deeds include spreading the secrets of others (especially Fog followers), manipulating monsters and/or humans to work against the Fog, or inventing some new technology.

If a character's request doesn't align enough with these ideals, their god may bestow upon them something more to their liking without warning. This is effectively an IC explanation for a request a character wouldn't make on their own. If you would like to do this, outline your request in the backfire section.

If your character wants to leave a god, you are free to do so without notice or handwave a prayer on the respective god's page. Keep in mind that leaving a god will remove all previously gained boons!

THE FOG GOD The Fog God, so they say, is a usurper of the Day and Night gods popularly worshipped on the peninsula. It is she who brings in unsuspecting souls from other worlds and warps their bodies into monstrous forms. She is capricious and becomes jealous easily. She enjoys the chaos that currently plagues Ryslig -- both watching and causing it. It would mean the universe to her if her monsters would go out and cause some discord of their own. Worship and Pray to the Fog

THE FOURTH GOD The Fourth God is an artificial god created by Dr. Liewen, in an effort to make a being strong enough to combat the Fog. He was imprisoned and isolated by the Fog God, until the actions of her monsters allowed him to be freed. He now possesses a burning hatred for her and her followers, and will stop at nothing to destroy her. He is calculating and distant, and desires control of the peninsula. Worship and Pray to the Fourth

THE KEY TO DYSTER Those who side with the Fog God will be provided with a silver key, old and dull fog-silver. It fits in any lock, no matter the style, and opening a door with it will bring them to Dyster. They will be greeted by the people of the town, who are more than happy to see them. Here, they can stay for as long as they want, and partake in the feasting. This is not the Dyster some arrivals may remember, and people who try to visit it on the peninsula proper will find an empty ghost town. The people in Dyster don't seem quite dead or alive, but they treat any follower of the Fog God like royalty, and they will eagerly accept new followers in their fold. They will provide them with a more than willing human sacrifice if the monster is hungry. It will calm their hunger but not indefinitely. Those who stay for periods of time in the city may feel an unnatural loyalty to the Fog God and her cause, to the point of worship. Characters can leave by using the key against any door in town, and return to where they had first entered.

THE ARCADE'S KEYCARD Those who side with the Fourth God will be provided an unusually modern-looking plastic card. There's no writing on the front or the back, but there is a hologram of rainbow hues on a black background that flashes wildly when the card is moved around. Insert the card on the side of a door like a slot, and they will be transported to the Arcade when they open it. They will arrive in the grand atrium of an enormous mall and entertainment complex, all in glowing neon and glassy linoleum. Technology from various different time periods is available here, up through the early 1990s – matching the day-glo transparent-plastic aesthetic. The TVs and video games, film reels in the giant-screen theater and ballroom-sized-ball-pit balls, cannot be removed from the complex, which rivals Dyster in size, and the only shopfronts with merchandise seem to be the food court, which is free, and run by robots. It's a significant upgrade from the seedy arcade it was, before October 2022 gave the Fourth God a boost. However, the same set of large red curtains can be found, behind which lies a sterile looking room full of seated humans with strange visors who will not respond to any sort of stimuli. There is a large basin towards the back filled with water, and any time a human is killed or fed on a robot will enter and clean the area. Those who stay for periods of time in the Arcade may feel an unnatural loyalty to the Fourth God and his cause, to the point of camaraderie. Characters can leave by pressing the card against a door and return to where they had first entered.

RESURRECTION

Loyal followers may resurrect in their god’s domain, rather than where their life ended. When they choose to leave, their god will return them to a safe place on the peninsula (at the player's discretion).

To a follower's guests, the environs may seem strange, but no harm shall come to those who awaken here. They're welcome to stay a while to recuperate, but a permanent residency would be frowned upon; eventually, they may find themselves guided out of this realm, returning back to Ryslig somewhere safe - and sometimes just within reach of the person who protected them in the first place.

TIER ONE

Tier one boons are small, and are mainly a way for the gods to give their converts a taste of what they can offer. These rewards are immediately available to anyone who pledges themselves to a god. When initially pledging to a god, it is not necessary to submit a prayer--though, if you would like to handwave a prayer, you are free to do so. Therefore, it is not necessary to include an offering for this tier.

FOG A minor power appropriate to the Fog God (think fear, strength, destruction) Smallest rooms in Dyster (a single bed, no window) Resurrecting inside Dyster after 2-3 days (regardless of fog days) A small aesthetic body modification tailored towards fear and intimidation (e.g. extra/bigger teeth, red/scarier eyes, claws if your monster doesn’t already have them) An instinctive knowledge of how many days they have left before the hunger overtakes them

LIEWEN A minor spell appropriate to the Fourth God (think stealth, control, invasion) Smallest rooms in the arcade (barely a bed and a radio, you can hear the arcade outside) Resurrecting inside the arcade after 2-3 days (regardless of fog days) A small aesthetic cybernetic body modification (e.g. wires, circuit boards, Tron lines) A death counter plugin on their PC that has a little image of their head with an x00 number of lives lost next to it. If a character were to die more than 99 times, it would simply start over.

TIER TWO

Tier two boons are larger, and are the first true rewards for doing a god's bidding. It represents a character being ready to dedicate themselves to a god's cause. A character might reach tier two by sacrificing a human to their god, successfully converting a neutral character, or performing public deeds in the name of their god. They also must be a follower for at least a month.

FOG A second power appropriate to the Fog God A bigger room in Dyster (queen-size bed, windows, storage) Instant resurrection in Dyster after being killed. A major body modification (e.g. flightless wings, large horns, extra limbs) Taking on a new way to feed (flesh, energy, souls). This doesn’t replace your old one, but gives you a second option.

LIEWEN A second spell appropriate to the Fourth God A bigger room in the arcade (soundproof, larger, queen-sized bed) Instant resurrection in the arcade after being killed A modified fog form. While an alternate form assumed during fog days is available to everyone, a Fourth follower’s fog form may include cybernetic limbs or other changes appropriate to Fourth. This is a result of the Fourth God attempting to remove the Fog’s influence. Extending the protection of the arcade to a neutral character of the follower’s choosing. That character, upon death, will resurrect in the Arcade after 2-3 days (regardless of fog days). He will never protect a Fog follower.

TIER THREE

You're getting serious. You've got your sleeves firmly rolled up and however much blood you get on your hands in the process, so be it. You've done your action and maybe you balked a little at first, but now that you know what it really takes, you're still all-in.

Tier three rewards are for truly devout followers, and it takes a great act to appease the gods enough to get here. Such acts might include a mass sacrifice of people, the successful conversion of an opposing follower, or killing an opposing follower. (Keep in mind that killing or sacrificing in self-defense, or for their own reasons, does not count - it must be expressly done for their god!)

FOG A third major power, appropriate to the Fog God A house in Dyster (the works) Immortality. Only destroying the brain or the heart can kill a tier three Fog follower. A new, alternate monster form, subject to mod approval. Some examples would include having a beefed-up fog form (go wild on the horror!), or switching at will to a closely related monster type (e.g. gargoyles into dragons). Exchanging the cybernetic modification imparted by the Fourth God for an aesthetic monstrous modification of your choice. Please see common monster traits for details about the cybernetic modification. Increased ferocity and strength and lowered inhibitions while in fog form. Extending the protection of Dyster to a neutral character of the follower’s choosing. That character, upon death, will resurrect in Dyster after 2-3 days (regardless of fog days). She will never protect a Fourth follower.

LIEWEN A third major spell, appropriate to the Fourth God A large room in the arcade (the works) Instantly resurrect via static in any TV or radio of your choice. The ability to teleport from one location to another using radios. Monsters only have to touch the radio, and imagine the location where they wish to go. Note that the target location also needs a radio that is turned on. You can regenerate missing limbs or other body parts while in the arcade, but this will take some time, is painful, and the resulting parts may have a cybernetic look to them. Removing the biological need for conventional food (not humans), sleep, or even breathing. Immunity to the memory loss incurred from multiple deaths. This is not a perfect reward, as Fourth is not a true god and has a higher rate of error for difficult abilities. (This is a loophole in case you still want to play out memory loss.)

PRIESTS

You will do anything in service of your god. You are theirs to use as they see fit. You know you're on the right side of history, and you'll do whatever is in your power to make sure your god prospers.

The priests of each god gain unique and powerful abilities. The abilities favored by each god are explained below, but you may request a different power instead if one suits you better. In order to obtain priesthood, a follower must be in tier three, and have been in Ryslig for at least four months. When asking for priesthood, please explain in great detail the lengths to which your character has gone for their god, and the deeds they have done in their name. These will be judged on a case-by-case basis.

Please do not ask in the god prayer boxes for ideas for a Priest offering. Priest offerings must be something you have OOCly devised yourself. You may submit a Priest form with an offering you have already come up with, request the relevant god somehow prompts your character to perform it, and then (if approved) ICly ask in the god prayer box to receive this prompt. However, things your character does entirely on their own initiative will be more highly looked upon by the gods as proof of their devotion and motivation, and are far more likely to qualify as a Priest offering.

FOG Fog priests are instantly identifiable by their gray capes, made to resemble the Fog God’s long hair. The collar and hem of the cape are frayed, and when the wind blows through them it almost seems like parts of them trail off with it, like the fog itself...but that’s just a trick of the light, right? When priests speak, their voices have a whisper behind them. Fog priests may command the fog as they wish, bringing it forth where there is none and manipulating it around them. Gargoyles and trolls shrouded in fog need not fear the sun, and day-blind monsters have perfect vision. A character with a fog form may freely transform in this as well.

LIEWEN Fourth priests do not have any set outfits, but they are given a unique marking on their hand when accepted by the Fourth. It may be a power symbol, a pattern of wires, or even a symbol from the character’s home world. Whatever it is, it will glow when other Fourth followers are near. Fourth priests may temporarily stop time in their vicinity, affecting anyone who does not follow the Fourth God​. They can also access the rsdos network at will without use of a laptop.

[ueteribus]

Character Name: Lucius Malfoy
Alignment: Fourth God
Offering Description: Made a public broadcast denouncing the Fog God, trying to encourage more people to look into the Fourth, not so subtly trying to stir up a rebellion against the Fog God and he created a symbol that can be associated with the Fourth that he's trying to push more followers to use in public as a propaganda tactic.
Link: Here.
Reward Tier: Tier 2

Reward Description: Taking the boosted ressurection ability and asking that the Fourth's protection be extended to include his son, Draco. No on the altered fog form since I haven't given Lucius a fog form anyway.

SPELL: the ability to pick locks at a touch. He has to know the lock is there though it can be either mechical or electronic. By pressing two fingertips over the lock and concentrating, he'll unleash a small cyan electric-looking spark and the lock will open itself smoothly. There will not be any damage left behind or sign that the lock was picked. It'll be as if the lock simply opened itself somehow.

ROOM SUBSTITUTION (con't): The box is now about the size of a treasure chest, and the outside of it looks much nicer though the metal of the hinges are aged and slightly tarnished. The inside now has thin velvet lining and the interior seems ever so slightly larger than the exterior would belie. It continues to be impossible for anyone but Lucius to open as well, in fact from the outside a stranger wouldn't even be able to find the lock let alone pick it, and if they tried shaking it the hinges wouldn't so much as budge. If anyone else tried picking the box up it would seem a bit heavier than it should be; not impossible to lift but a tad ungainly to carry off with them. On the other hand to Lucius, the chest feels much lighter than it looks when he lifts it.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): N/A

Character Name:
Alignment: Defecting from Fog to Fourth!
Offering Description: Joining november 25th.
Link: Here.
Reward Tier: 1
Reward Description:
minor spell: invisibility as long as he's wet/in water. Like, if he goes out of the water for more than like 1-2 seconds after being submerged he'll start to get visible again. So if he pokes his head up he'll be visible. He has to be completely drenched.
Body mod: is it possible to keep the eyes that glow in the dark? Maybe with a shift in HOW they glow to a more cyber-like glow since that's the mod themes.
Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Not a backfire per se, but he did defect from being a Fog follower, so what would the repercussions be for leaving Fog to join 4th?

And me and Reira-mun would like it if you could help us with the thread where he joins, as Ron is handing his Fog key over to the robots at the arcade.

The mentioned thread is here.

[blurspot]

Character Name: Reira Akaba
Alignment: Fourth
Offering Description: The successful turn-over of Ron, from Fog to Fourth (AKA 'he made a kid defect')
Link: Fog Mom needs to up her kid game
Reward Tier: Tier 3
Reward Description:

Larger Room in the Arcade - Presumably the bathroom here is rather nice given his aquatic needs. If this room could somehow connect to Ron's despite the gap in tiers, that would be wonderful! (And as usual, there's a decent sized pull out couch (or bed) for the protected neutral that is Tsukikage)

Loss of Biological Needs - As part of future plot plans, I'd like to go with 'breathing' as the thing he no longer needs, as Reira's going to soon make the decision to try exploring watery places such as the overly salty Fors Lake. If it turns out that 1, it'd be better to get that via Mana, or 2, he's already able to take that kind of salt in his lungs, that's fine! After all, there's plenty of other things that Not Breathing helps out with. (A backfire is noted below)

Cybernetic Regeneration - The more being regrown, the more cybernetic the regrowth, so he better watch himself. may or may not be looking to go cyber wings with this shhhh

Immunity to Memory Loss - No Backfire!

Immediate Static Ressurection & Static Teleport - Self-explanitory, though for some reason, strange sparkly gold stuff seems to smoke as he's coming out.

Major Spell | Along for the Ride - A variation on the old Adept spell that Mer had, where they would bite someone and be able to bring them down into the depths for an hour.

Rather than this, Reira will be able to literally carry someone down while in either Centaur or Kelpie form-and in the case of someone who can't 'ride' properly, they'll have to settle for being tangled behind him in his tendrils. By doing this, he'll be able to bring them down with him into the water to investigate various areas.

As discussed here, this spell would be extended to four hours instead of the old adept limit of 1 however. At this point, the victim on his back will either A) drown normally or B) end up Energy Food. oops

Backfire: Not a backfire, but I would like to request, if possible, that the IC grant for this tier occur at the moment Ron defects (we've left the thread, which ICly takes place on the 25th of November, at a point which hopefully allows for this).

Additionally, an ACTUAL backfire to the loss of biological needs; Reira is only able to stop his breath for a collective total of 444 minutes (A total of almost 7 and a half hours), after which he must sleep the equivalent amount of time in the Arcade. This makes stopping his breath a conscious action as well, rather than something that just 'is'.

APPROVED

[ryslighelpers]

Unfortunately, as Ron is not on the same tier level as Reira, their rooms cannot be connected.

With the exception of this, your rewards are approved! We will give the IC details in a separate reply (in that thread) as soon as possible.

[darkova]

Character Name: Ingway
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Joining up
Link: Here.
Reward Tier: 1
Reward Description: All of the above.

For the physical change I would like him to grow ALL of his teeth sharp instead of just his arachne fangs. Serrated like a shark's

For his new power: the ability to hunt down those who have 'wronged him'. Basically those he would want some form of revenge against. Not an outright THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE but a vague feeling of what direction to go and how close he is- with the ability for it to be hidden by other powers/mod discretion etc when it comes to NPCs. Mostly inspired by the recent Blobening cuz he is gonna revive *pissed*. Drawback below.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): He will ask for this specifically, but it will come with the mental compulsion to *always* take revenge out on those he feels slighted by- even for the most petty things or if it is against his better judgement. The retaliation being about equal to the crime- and he will not be able to feel settled until he does SOMETHING against them, though he can hold it off long enough to plot or wait until it's a more practical time to do so. The greater the slight though the harder it will be to ignore.

[bound_skyward]

Character Name: Kain Highwind
Alignment: Fourth God
Offering Description: Joining!
Link: Here! He also had some other talks with Lucius prior to lead up to this, but this’ll be the one he actually joins in.
Reward Tier: Tier One
Reward Description: The room: he’s not likely to spend a whole lot of time there, but he’ll like having the option sometimes. Also definitely yes to the death counter and the resurrection thing.

I’m not taking any body modifications for him at the moment.

For the minor spell, I’d like to go with Weatherproofing. As a werebear, he's very in tune with the weather, now his outer layer will be too! Essentially, Kain’s fur and feathers protect him against the elements, repelling precipitation and helping him withstand a somewhat higher/lower temperature range than average. The ability doesn’t work as well in day form (he’s still got a bit of fur as seen here, but there’s a lot less covering him than when he's more bear-like)... he could wrap his wings around himself in daytime for a little bit of protection but that's not as helpful as actually being covered in all of that fur.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Obviously there need to be limits on the power, so the more extreme the weather or the longer that he uses it for, the more the power will weaken him. So if he uses it while he stays out in the cold/heat for a day, or gets lost in a blizzard even for a brief time, he’ll end up extremely weakened as a result. He might even find the opposite problem happening, as a bit of backfire... extreme cold or long duration in the cold may overheat him (or vice versa) or a long time in the rain will uncomfortably dry him out, as his power goes into orderdrive trying to counter the weather's effects.

Also, a dunk in water will still drench him like normal! Similarly, unnatural sources of heat/cold would still affect him too (say he was locked in a freezer or boiler or something, or someone cast an elemental-based spell on him). The protection only works against weather, it’s very specific.

body mod: Right arm from the elbow down gets a light circuit pattern to the scales (because that arm was all that was left of him once ha ha).

he has no need for a room because he has a place of his own. but he'll totally take the radio. usual death counter and resurrection stuff's just fine.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): n/a (except for maybe the spell)

[gentle_darkness_duelist]

Character Name: Judai Yuki
Alignment: Fog God
Offering Description: Joining!
Link: #whyaremyfriendscultists
Reward Tier: Tier One
Reward Description:
-Small room in Dyster that smells a little like his room in Academia (Aka it stinks and seems pretty neglected)
-resurrecting in Dyster
-hunger timer

A minor power: Fear of the Dark. The darker the area, the more effective it is, though it has maximum power during the fog at night. Judai can make a small area around him (like 10m at most) go completely pitch black and fills any person and monster with fear. It's up to player discretion the effectiveness in monsters but in most humans, it's supposed to cause such an influx of adrenaline that it causes tissue damage to the heart (since it can't keep up) or death. If done in bright light (in the day, outside counts) the spell will still work but it'll more be just like a minor, passing fear and the radius of darkness becomes much smaller.

Body Mod: Scarier, bright yellow eyes that glow when he's angry/trying to be intimidating/using his powers.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): The spell actually. ICly Judai would ask for some of his powers over darkness back.

[ryslighelpers]

Unfortunately, this ability is too powerful for a tier 1 grant. If it were restricted to causing terror and panic rather than tissue damage and death, and to being limited to 5m in radius at maximum, this would be acceptable.

Character Name: Touya
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Recruited a neutral

Link: Right here.
Reward Tier: Tier 2
Reward Description:
-Bigger and nicer place in Dyster
-Instant revival after death

Additional feeding method: Energy. But instead of some fancy spell, Touya just has to bite the victim hard enough to draw blood.

Body Mod: Touya has bone and moonrock growths left over from the parasites. If they don’t already have useful armor value, then that as well as being permanent to his werewolf form.

With the bonus of a moonrock Samurott helmet in his fog form. Because samurai are cool.

Power: Starting with this tier, Touya’s fog granted powers would be at their strongest during fogs.

ExtremeSpeed! This power is basically a dash tackle. Touya absolutely can’t fly with this ability, but he’ll be able to launch himself a maximum of 10 feet into the air or use it for a quick burst of speed through water. Outside of fogs, Touya will be about as fast as the average naga while using it. During fogs, it can get him as fast as the average arachne.

Backfire: Such a cool power won’t come for free. The more often and/or longer Touya uses "ExtremeSpeed" in a day, the more hungry he gets.

Character Name: Ingway
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: As many of the candy shop humans he was able to find in the past two weeks
Link: First kill here. Though he doesn't mention it being dedicated to the Fog specifically. Off screen for the other deaths.
Reward Tier: Two
Reward Description: Power: Psychedelic Venom. An additional venom to the ones he already gets as an Arachne. This venom induces hallucinations on his victims. Said visions are usually horrific. He can slightly manipulate said hallucinations through suggestion, but not directly control them or know what the victim is seeing. Basically it's dropping the worst acid possible. Can only be used once a day.

Is less effective on monsters (see drawback below)

Bigger Room/Instant Regen

Major Body Mod: Ingway gains spines along his back/torso, giving him a bit more protection against backattacks

New feeding method: Blood

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Not only is his new venom weaker against monsters, it might even be a pleasant experience/more like a recreational drug- so utterly useless as a weapon in a monster v monster fight.

[rysligmods]

At this time, we're unable to accept the submitted action as a valid means of reaching tier two. If Tier One is the intent to devote oneself to a god, Tier Two should be a demonstrative act in deliberate service to that god, proving a character is serious about their intent. As Ingway is killing these candy workers for his own vengeful reasons, and not as a tribute to the Fog God, it would not be enough for her to recognize him as one who is devoted to her cause.

Offering Description: Torture and sacrifice of a human, followed by posthumous display, in the Fog God's name.
Link: Selecting her victim: here. Dumping the body with a note mentioning the Fog God: here. Second thread was cut short due to a player dropping.
Reward Tier: Tier 2
Reward Description:
- A bigger room in Dyster
- Instant resurrection in Dyster after being killed
- Major body modification: rows of very thin, needle-like spines on the backs of her lower arms, at one row per arm. I'd like her to be able to fold these flat against herself for when she needs to wear long sleeves, if possible; there would be no other benefit to being able to fold them flat.
- Second power: actual ventriloquism. I'd like for her to be able to "throw" her voice as though it's coming from someplace else; it's something she'd use to scare the shit out of people. As for a spatial limit...how about a radius of about 15 feet from her body, max? If the radius needs to be smaller, just let me know!

I don't want to give her a new way to feed, since she already has two (energy w/faerie rings, flesh w/extra mouths) and a third seems like too much for her to have.
Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Not this time, please!

For the cybernetic, if it's okay I'd like to give him a small Matsuno pine symbol done in glowing green tron lines (and filled in with more lines to look like circuitry) just a little below his collar bone.

Character Name: Chie Satonaka
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Joining up! She's asked her friend Ingway to give her a lift to Dyster to hopefully meet with Fog God and she's let Fog God herself know she's coming and why in their letters. I HOPE THIS IS ENOUGH.
Link: Here and Here. (Letter is finished, Log is in Progress)
Reward Tier: 1
Reward Description: Yes, please give Chie all of it.

Minor spell: The ability to keep meat perpetually fresh, so she doesn't have to worry about finishing it off before it goes bad. If you need to nerf it, you can make it that it's just things she kills or even just humans she kills?

Body Mod: Glowing. Eyes. Can be seen in the fog or in the dark.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Nah, Chie would totally want to keep her meat good and tasty.

Character Name: Rohan Kishibe
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Fog Triggered & Killed Fiddleford BACK IN LIKE NOVEMBER BUT YOU KNOW
Link: Here w/ permission from Ink!
Reward Tier: 3
Reward Description:
Major Power -- The final part of his Memory Recall thing. Eye contact with a target/opposing alignment will trigger a traumatic memory or fear, pulling anxiety from the target that he can feed off of (via his energy-eating feeding method from before), but he will be able to physically manifest that trauma in the form of something like a hologram that is too real and appears to oppose a real threat. The image cannot harm the target but it can leave them wide open for an attack or struck with fear-based paralysis.

Dyster Mansion -- A close replica of his house from home, tweaked a little.

Immortality for himself and Protection Extension to a NEUTRAL Character aka Jotaro Kujo.

Increased ferocity and alternate form: A Quetzalcoatl/winged serpant kind of deal that is primarily snake-like in form but devoid of human charictaristics for Fog Days and can be sort of semi-controlled for transformation on his own for the purpose of travel. That isn't really advised because it decreases conscious decisions in favor of the more ferocious and animal tendencies.
Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): no thanks!

Character Name: AM
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: AM both converted an opposing follower (even if he turned traitorous) and then tortured said follower once he became traitorous.
Link: Conversion and Torture
Reward Tier: 3
Reward Description:

OKAY SO. Because AM is changing to demon due to the monster re-sort, I want to change a couple of his tier 1 and 2 rewards, since those were more specific to his arachne form. Obviously none of this will take effect until he's fully transformed into a demon, which will probably be maybe a month after the next transformation log.

- I am keeping all of the tier 1 effects, as those are more general

- Old boon - Instead of the myrmidon and humanoid myrmidon forms, AM can transform into a balrog and humanoid balrog for up to eight hours per day, accompanied with the appropriate hunger and fatigue

- Tier 2 modification - Instead of pedipalps, the wings almost act as second arms with a thumblike joint. In reference to this question on the monster FAQ, the wings would now be able to be used for climbing/hanging, etc.

- Tier 2 feeding - As a demon he now feeds on souls, but he will also retain the ability to feed on bodies physically

- Tier 2 power - Instead of venom that immobilizes, this will be a similar thing, but will be a demon spell instead. Since one of the spells can "bind a human to a spot", this would be a level 2 version, which would immobilize a human or monster (with player permission) completely (except for eyes and diaphragm) for up to an hour a day. (The "bind a human to a spot" spell would still be there... just a different spell.)

- House - It's a large bunker, basically.

- Relative immortality

- Greater strength and ferocity, lowered inhibitions in fog form

- A beefed up fog form. It’s really big and scary, at least twelve feet tall. It looks something like this maybe. Kind of like the balrog form, except without the "constantly on fire" part.

- Neutral characters are lame and AM has no need to protect them >:c

- Major ability: Fear-inducement. Basically, AM would be able to view a major fear that a character has. This would depend OOCly upon how much the other player would be willing to let him see, but for the most part it would not be overt. Like, if someone fears a specific person, then AM might see that they fear a person and see a silhouette, but he doesn’t know who. If he knows the other person really well, he could see more specific things. (Again, depending entirely on what the other player would allow, if anything.) It also depends on the nature of the fear. If it's a very specific fear, he won't be able to see it as well. If it's more general (i.e. a general fear of the dark) then he'll be more likely to see what it is. This will be useful for him in the future, as he loves to traumatize people. And if he knows what they are afraid of the most, then that will be super fantastic.

Regardless, whether he himself can see what the fear is or not, he can summon up the image in that person and cause fear. Are heights your worst fear? Now you can’t get the image of yourself stuck on a very high building out of your head!

Due to the ability and due to the vague mind-reading of it, this could be limited to a certain number of times per day, or a certain time period. I understand if this is too god-modey or my descriptions don't provide enough limitations, though!

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Nah. This entire existence is suffering :c

APPROVED

[ryslighelpers]

We apologize for the wait! Just one clarification - AM's fear-inducement would not be able to replace a character's vision, just make them unable to banish a mental image. (Ie, not "OH NO I'M ON A CLIFF" but "I can't stop thinking of myself stuck on a clifftop.")

With that caveat, your requested rewards have been approved! We will give the IC details in a separate reply as soon as possible.

Character Name: Nagisa Shingetsu
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Joining up!
Link: Still in backtaggy vagueness of trying to figure out when this happened buuuut: Jataro's letter to the fog god and then Nagisa asking Amanda how to join. They would have made the decision to join on either the second or third of March, though we're still not 100% sure about how they got to Dyster since that depends on what the Fog God's response to Jataro's letter would have been. But if she didn't extend the invitation personally, then Amanda took them.
Reward Tier: 1
Reward Description: Everything except the body mod. Though, if at all possible, can he and Jataro share a room instead of getting two separate ones? It wouldn't have to be any bigger but if there could just be two beds in a single room, that'd be cool.

Minor spell: Nagisa's skin is capable of generating a special pollen once a day that either helps or hurts whoever inhales it, depending upon allegiance/age. When inhaled by other Fog followers and neutral/human children, it has a rejuvenating, courage-bolstering effect that will rid the person of fatigue and very minor aches. It can't heal broken skin or bone, but man, can it do wonders for bruises or sore muscles. If inhaled by a Fourth follower or a neutral/human adult, it causes that person to become anxious, restless, and paranoid. While they will not actively hallucinate, they will scare much easier and may feel as though they are being followed or watched. These effects will last for an hour at most, and will only take affect if the pollen is actually inhaled. If someone were to cover their mouth and nose while walking through the pollen cloud (which will only hang in the air for 2 minutes in a 3m radius), they would not be affected.

If this is too much for a tier 1 spell, it could be nerfed to just the support effects. Potentially with the side effect of courage bolstering to the point of recklessness? Canonically, Nagisa's rpg class is the sage, so he'd ask her for the ability to support and heal others but I know healing isn't exactly the Fog God's thing so I tried t give it some negative effects too. (If the age thing needs to be cut out entirely, that's a-okay, I just figured it couldn't hurt to ask.)

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): nah

APPROVED

[ryslighelpers]

We apologize for the wait; your requested rewards have been approved! We'd just like to ask for one clarification - Nagisa must choose a set age boundary for children vs adults. (Ie, 18, 16...)

We will give the IC details in a separate reply as soon as possible.

[maskinglayer]

Character Name: Jataro Kemuri
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Joining!
Link: A letter from Jataro and Nagisa talking with Amanda. Joining either from an invitation from the Fog God if she'd extend one in reply to his letter, or through Amanda taking them herself. They would have joined around March second or third!
Reward Tier: One!
Reward Description: Everything, though if possible we'd like Nagisa and Jataro to be able to room together. If that's not possible, a room of his own is fine!

Minor Ability: Hydrokinesis! While he'd really just ask for a way to fight for her and protect his friends, he's a mer so using water to do so would work best for him. He can only control a small amount of water for a short amount of time (a decalitre for up to an hour a day, cumulatively? So he can control it for a minute at a time, or twenty minutes if he's carrying it a long distance for example, but no matter what no more than an hour per day), but he can bend it to his will however he likes (moving it around, letting it take form in basic shapes, using it like water balloons bc what is being mature with your god-granted powers?). It's only water that's around him, he cannot create his own water.

Body Mod: Bigger, sharper teeth. Fish based though I haven't decided what fish yet.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): N/A!

APPROVED

[ryslighelpers]

We apologize for the wait! Just one clarification - Jataro would not be able to control his water to move at extreme speed or force (no water missiles). Everything else is fine; your requested rewards have been approved!

We will give the IC details in a separate reply as soon as possible.

BOON UPDATE

[godofnothingness]

SO NOW THAT LOKI'S A SLIME you probably saw this coming.

Loki's standard God Spells transfer over fine since they weren't Species Specific, but I'm presenting Slime-Equivalent 'Adept Spells' to convert over from Loki's Werebear Adept spells, and hopefully they're acceptable! I'd shove the Slime Astral Spell here as well, but I'll probably just slap that into the Slime FAQ along with every other magical thing I have to ask about

IN ANY CASE. Fourth Followers of the Adept Tier always had two spells, typically things that had the cost of extreme hunger after completion, as well as a narrow time limit. For Loki, as a Slime, I'd like for his spells to officially transition into the following once his changes are far enough:

First Spell - The ability to, once per day for a limit of two hours, divide the nucleus into four. The slime's goo is distributed equally between these four, and the nuclei are connected through a loose hive mind that allows them to act in absolute cooperation over a particular radius; the farther the slimes move from each other (Limit of Perfect Order being 44 Feet diameter, and Absolute Limit being 1 Kilometer diameter), the less cohesive they become. If even one nucleus is destroyed, taken beyond the limit, or fails to otherwise reunite with the others at the end of the time limit, the slime Dies.

Second Spell - The ability to, once per day for a limit of one hour, absorb nearby fluids or fluid-like substances (IE: Magma) as their own material. Aside from adopting the properties of such fluids (So with the Magma example, their slime would burn on contact with other objects), the Slime's ability to shapeshift and alter their apparent size grows exponentially with this. There is a limit of 4 times the Slime's original mass however, so there won't be any....Giant Lake Dala Slimes running around. Additionally, while the ability to hold cohesive shape grows, the Slime's physical strength does not, due to the fluids not being from their own self.

As a bonus, if a slime uses Human fluids through this spell, and has a somehow damaged nucleus, the fluid may be converted toward healing the nucleus instead of their size, albeit at the cost of being unable to use the spell to its full time limit for the rest of the day.

Beyond this, a question! At tier 3, monsters regenerate lost limbs and body parts with cybernetic features and such; being that Loki is now a slime, I wanted to ask if 'molten metals' along certain regions would be acceptable, given that most other alternatives involve adding solids to the form. Alternatively, could cybernetic body modifications simply 'look' solid but in fact melt down with the Slime's form?

[ryslighelpers]

Hey there, sorry for the delay! At the moment, we are working to phase out older adept boons, so we can't approve these abilities just yet. However, for his tier 3 boon, that is fine--however, it the metal will only appear molten, it will not actually be hot or capable of burning.

BOON UPDATE

[noasark]

Annnd now that I've sorted him out, Noa's boons as well!

First, as an Adept Fog Follower, he switches out from the ability to turn into a Basilisk to the ability to become a Chimera. I'll be asking a question about those on the Manticore page, but continuing on, here are what I would like to change Noa's current boons over to, if possible-I tried to keep them as close to the original modifications and spells as I could.

Body Mod Change Overs

Minor Modification -> 'Split' Cheshire grin, not unlike his original naga mouth; to manifest with his fangs.

Major Modification -> Prehensility of the wings, to match the abilities from his 'wing-like' growths as a naga. Since Manticore have existing wings, this change manifests by altering the shape of his normal wings somewhat when they come in.

Tier 3 Monster Form -> Mishipeshu the 'underwater panther'. To keep from invading other monster skills, while this form can swim and hold their breath for a decent amount of time, they are not immune to water pressure or to the cold-and it doesn't even have the Bakunawa's ability to carry monsters in its mouth! (Though the scales are fairly hardy, and Noa can potentially curl himself around someone to protect them)

Ability Change Overs

Tier 1 Power -> LOTS of tales concerning manticore involve it having the ability to hurl quills or spikes from the end of its tail; thus, this ability replaces Noa's power to spit venom once he has a tail to even hurl things from. (Suffice to say, either those quills will be the stinger itself, orrrrr hardened venom shot, or...idk something?)

Tier 2 Power -> Rather than creating fear through sound and eye contact, Noa now creates fear through silence and initial eye contact; once the meeting has been made, he must stay absolutely quiet, including his movements. For as long as he keeps any sound he makes from meeting the ears of his victim, they will begin to experience their greatest fear, manifesting first as a creeping feeling of dread and growing into full on terror the longer it lasts. If Noa can keep it up for a full ten minutes, he may well give someone a fatal heart attack!

But really, keeping Noa quiet to that extent for ten minutes? Pretty hard, especially since his victim can easily start lashing out against the hallucinations and injure Noa in the process. This is doubly tricky, as Noa must keep his eyes on his victim at all times. He may blink, of course, but he has to keep looking at them!

Noa's remaining boons remain the same, though his Dyster Home might end up with the furnishings shuffling around to better suit his eventual feline shape ahah.

[ryslighelpers]

Sorry for the delay! All of this is perfectly fine EXCEPT the chimera shift. We're in the process of phasing out older god boons, like the adept forms. More details to come!

[gentle_darkness_duelist]

Character Name: Judai Yuki
Alignment: Fog Follower
Offering Description: Judai has been trying to 'advertise' the Fog God throughout Bavan through a number of graffiti artworks, bringing forth some of her better points and trying to encourage people to turn to her. He's also been using these works to shame the Fourth God and neutrals in addition to using them as conversation pieces to further boost the Fog's name while talking with others.

Also the seaweed that he's been mixing in with his paint (to stop people from washing the graffiti off) was part of his own skin.

Link: Here. and Here.
Reward Tier: Tier 2

Reward Description:
- Tier 2 Spell: Upgrade Fear of the Dark to Curse of Darkness. Curse of Darkness has an 5m extra reach to it, and can be done in brighter environments without reducing the field of effect (though it is still mostly effective in the fog/night). It also forces the flight response in those affected by the fear though it can be staved off by willpower. Prolonged exposure cannot cause death but can cause minor tissue damage.
- Replacement Tier 1 Spell: Earthbreaker: Judai can pound the ground with his limb (or head if he's being stupid) and cause a shockwave from the ground around him. Useful for knocking someone off their feet for a surprise attack.
- A bigger room in Dyster
- Instant resurrection in Dyster after being killed.
- A major body modification: Large spikes protruding from his shoulders and forehead
- Alternative feeding method: Souls
Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): All his spells are technically backfires. One of these days he'll stop asking the Fog God for his powers back and not specifying.

Approved!

[ryslighelpers]

When the moon is high, Judai’s shadow stretches out, suddenly plastering itself against a wall like a bucket of thrown paint. The shadow oozes down and twists, mimicking that of the graffiti Judai spread across the town. Eventually, it spells out “Well Done.”

A chilling wind swirls around him briefly. When it stills, Judai’s shadow is back to normal, and he’ll find himself with his new rewards.

[hearthebell]

Character Name: L Lawliet
Alignment: Fog God
Offering Description: Alignment!
Link: Here.
Reward Tier: One
Reward Description: L would ask for a minor power: immunity to poison, including up to one dose of arachne venom per day (or three days, or week if that's more reasonable for this tier and what constitutes a minor ability). Also putting in for the room and an instinctive knowledge of when he needs to feed next, resurrection after 3 days in Dyster, and for the small aesthetic body modification, he would ask for the wounds, scars and silver burns inflicted by AM over the last week to be wiped clear. Specifically, the one AM carved purposely to look like the letter "L" on his right side.
Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Heck no, son, scars are badass and intimidating, along with that title L held in his world. The Fog God leaves most of the scars, but the "L" is not only left in place, it's modified to be even more conspicuous, burned deeper and tattooed, in a slightly messy but still recognizable cloister black font.

[ryslighelpers]

APPROVED

The next time L is alone, he will hear a chorus of whispers ringing in his ears, cheering, praising him, reassuring him all is right on the fog side. A small gust of wind, and somehow, a small, delicious (salt free) cake sits on his table. “Welcome” is written in icing on the top in blood, but that doesn’t alter the taste some how. For every bite he takes, he may feel the burning sensation of that L scar deepening and becoming more elaborate, but the sweetness of the treat will cancel it out.

Character Name: Nagisa Shingetsu
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: Carrying out his mission during the Nightfall event! She asked him to infiltrate the Inquisition and help keep the fog conduits safe. While he didn't actually FIND any fog conduits (and all but one died), he did manage to convince everyone that he was neutral and helped focus the attack more on Fourth conduits instead of Fog. He kept a close eye on the network and tried to help distract and divert the neutrals where he could. He also managed to get Choromatsu to turn spy on his own god (though no useful information actually came from it) and he tried VERY HARD to find the woods conduit by talking to the trees and then attempting to use their description to trade for a Fourth conduit. (he planned to give a false description had anyone actually taken his offer) Again, it...didn't actually work but god did he try so hard. He also got Stocke to kill Yuzu, though he ended up being wrong about her being a conduit. But anything to help the focus on the Fourth conduits instead of the Fog, right?
Link:
- Talking to the trees and then hunting for followers in an attempt to find the woods conduit. Also: turning Choromatsu spy.
- Attempting to barter the identity of the woods conduit in exchange for the lake or park conduits' lives.
- Nearly every thread on his inbox was him lying to neutrals and trying to get them to trust him/focus on Fourth conduits.
- Again, trying to find the woods conduit but he was wrong about it being Amanda...
- Putting a hit out on Yuzu with Stocke

Reward Tier: Tier Two
Reward Description:
-Second power: An upgrade to his Hope Pollen! He can now use it three times a day (or two, if three is too much for this tier), and will hang in the air for five minutes instead of two. It still has to be inhaled by the target/victim in order to take effect and its effects still have the same follower/age restrictions. As for a time limit...I dunno, still an hour? Hour and a half? Whatever's appropriate for this tier. For Foggies and children, it can now heal non-fatal cuts/abrasions in addition to bruises, and the rejuvenation effects are equal to a solid nap, as opposed to a coffee jump-start. For Fourthies and adults, the feeling of despair is intensified. Victims will be unable to feel any hope at all until the pollen's effect wears off and their thought processes and actions will be warped as a result. Everything will seem futile and pointless, making them unlikely to expend effort on anything and to take greater risks that may shorten their lives. Some may even be driven to minor acts of self-mutilation or beg to be murdered, it really just depends on the personality of the victim. Particularly susceptible, weak-willed humans may even go as far as to take their own life. (Though not monsters unless someone REALLY wants to play that out, I guess, but it's an understandably touchy subject so I'm just gonna assume monsters are strong enough to resist that) However, they will NOT be driven as far as committing murder or other acts of physical violence against others. Their despair will be entirely self-directed at this stage.

-A bigger room (he is absolutely going to break at least one window to let plants grow in, hope that's not a problem Fog Mom)
-Instant Resurrection in Dyster
-Major body modification: A second pair of arms! They'll grow out of the bark on his back and basically look like skeleton arms, only the bones will be made of wood instead of calcium. Like so.
-New way to feed: Souls, which he'll suck out with the bluebells on his back vines. Ask not for whom the bluebells toll, they toll for thee
Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): He wouldn't initially ask for any of this IC'ly since he considers his mission a failure because most of the conduits died. But he did report his activities to the Fog God, so if it's enough to qualify...I guess we can move on from there maybe. Or something. How do offerings even work from an ic perspective

ETA: since he won't actually HAVE his bark until next month, it'll be a while before he actually grows his extra arms. Because there's...nothing there for them to grow from at the moment. oops.

[ryslighelpers]

APPROVED

After their little chat, the frost the Fog left on his aloe leaves will melt away. The chill from their droplets will travel all the way down into his bluebell’s vines, and they will chime out once, indicating their new ability. Before her presence completely fades, the fog god’s voice whispers she will have more surprises for him in the future, should he keep up the good work.

[maskinglayer]

Character Name: Jataro kemuri
Alignment: Fog
Offering Description: For his mission during the Conduit event, he manages to steal both Marco and Fiddleford's keycards (so two Priest keycards). He also killed Fiddleford with Mitsuhide under the impression that he was a Fourth Conduit. (Also making Mom a gift from Fidds' skin.)
Link: Stealing Marco's keycard
Killing Fiddleford and later taking his keycard afterward though it isn't very far, both of these outcomes were agreed upon, and he does have permission to take the card after Fidds is dead!
Reward Tier: 2
Reward Description: -A larger room of his own (though would he be able to request an art studio by chance, rather than a room to sleep in?)
-Instant resurrection in Dyster.

Power: I'll come back to this when there's a verdict on his tier one ability!
Bod Mod: An extra set of arms just below his first set!
Second Feeding Method: Is the Pooka's bone marrow an option? If not, flesh!

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): N/A!

[ryslighelpers]

APPROVED assuming you wanted to give him the ability to manipulate other liquids like paint now, as we commented on. Let us know if this is not correct!

The next time he is playing in Dyster, Jataro will be urged to discover his new ability on his own, as his upgraded Dyster home will include a bucket of blood-red paint for him to experiment with, along with a note. “Let your creativity flow, child. I cannot wait to see what a masterpiece you bring me next.”
