The gods have watched over this world since this world was born. As long as we can remember, generations stretching back, years without count.
They are wise, grand, glorious and just. They are creatures who sprang fully forged from the ether, given form by mortal minds, here to guide us through our lives.
Do not defy the gods. Do not question the gods. They hold our world in their hands.
(They are inscrutable and cryptic, capricious and merciless. To challenge them in combat, to topple them alone, would be suicide and folly.
But there is more than one way to kill a god.)
You are the cursed, the forsaken, already scorched by the power of the divine. There is nothing left for you.
So there's nowhere to go but up.
The setting:
Technology wise, your standard DnD fare! Character-wise, literally anything. Do you want to play something from the monster manual? Sure let's work it out. If it's got a statblock I can finagle into a reasonable PC sheet, we'll do it.
What I need from you:
Name/plurk name:
Character concept:
The nature of your curse: This is an all-original pantheon, so feel free to elaborate on which god exactly did this to you. You don't have to name them or anything, I can do that fine, but if you've got your heart set on a particular thematic then I will not deny you.
Magic item to start with: I expect you to break my puzzles over your knee so I'm giving you a head start. One item to start with of your choice. I reserve the right to veto anything that's a bit too multipurpose OP, be creative.
Availability:
Anything else you want to tell me:
