Stat up deities of GitP regulars! (Deity makers requested!)

[Snowbluff]

This is a great topic. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before. If anyone wants to stat me, that would be fine. Everyone I could think of as a presence has already stepped in for the most part.

I'll put you on the list.

No one has done me yet. Not even Morc!

MORCLEON! Git beck here! >:D

[Brookshw]

Also, factotums, shadesteel golems, factotum shadesteel golems, and teleportation circles. Tippy stuff.

No mention of wish traps? We're slipping

@ Snowbluff - the weekend is coming sir, and there will. be. STATS!!!
Also going to disagree with your earlier post that I'm too lazy to go back and quote regarding identifying who you intend to write up, personally I was a bit irked after specifically asking Afro's permission to have DM o' Darkness nab it.

[eggynack]

True enough. I would have actually gone with something like a trap of create food and water, because that's an idea that feels very emblematic of the Tippyverse. Sure, wish traps are obviously there, but putting that kind of magic on the very mundane and functional level is what I think gives the Tippyverse a lot of its staying power.

Aren't you already a major villain in several modules?

[Curmudgeon]

I'd love to read a stat-up\backstory thing on theese dieties:

Curmudgeon - "the rules man that breaks all the rules." (ie so much RAW\rules knowledge, and known to be one of the best sources of inspiration, builds and such for the Rogue class)

Permission granted; do your worst.

[Oko and Qailee]

Snow, don't forget I did Kish two pages back (mentioning for the OP)

[ArcturusV]

Also, factotums, shadesteel golems, factotum shadesteel golems, and teleportation circles. Tippy stuff.

I prefer to remember things like his Wand Gatling Gun Ice Assassin thing.

Just do a write up. This isn't a competition, guys. If you have permission, just go with it and have fun.

Okay. Kish, got it. Thanks for posting!

Eh, I figured a small addendum, frankly he did a pretty decent job as far as I'm concerned. I just find it to be bad form.

But there's pleeenty of other options, much more fun to be had with this

Uwah... I was off doing marching band things. xD

Will work on it tomorrow on the trip. ^_^

Apologies; I had just glazed over the thread and saw afro give permission, and didn't realize you claimed it.

Goddess Mary/Mori Neutral Good Overgoddess
Portfolio: Avatar, The Rift, Heroes, Rosewood
Domains: Good, Protection, Destiny, Summoner, Portal

Mary is the goddess of the Avatar in the Rosewood setting, and has little power elsewhere. She rarely if ever crosses into other planes, outside of the prime material plane. Her primary motivation is protecting Rosewood from inter-planer threats like the demonic invasion of Rosewood, or the Hulks' invasion of Helman. She prefers to fight via summoning teenagers with attitude to Rosewood from the prime material plane.

Outside of Rosewood she has a mere single divine rank, and is treated as a demigod. All gods in Rosewood indirectly answer to her, and similar to Krynn only the gods of Rosewood have any power in Rosewood. Outside of the avatar summoning business she rarely intervenes with Rosewood, trusting the other gods to do their jobs.

[Werephilosopher]

People probably don't know me since I haven't been a member very long, but I've been a regular visitor for years... if someone wants to, feel free to stat me up. I'd probably only be a demigod, but whateves.

[Thiyr]

So is the list in the OP tracking everyone who gave permission, or everyone who has one/will have one done? If the former, I give my permission (again).

Also, Fax, I'm imagining trying to get one hand to split like the latter of those. Somehow I think I'd have to grow some more fingers.

Lord_Gareth
Intermediate Deity
Chaotic Neutral Blue/Black
Portfolio: Chaos, creation, destruction, making really dark and spooky homebrew
Domains: Madness, Retribution, Chaos, Mentalism, Mysticism

Lord_Gareth is a rather cruel god, creating inspired works of art with horrific powers and destinies. His creations inevitably invoke some kind of madness, and either wreak destruction upon their foes or endure it themselves. One tale of Lord_Gareth tells of how he fought a primeval force of evil; upon its defeat, he cut it to bits on his enchanted ouija cutting board, and attached the little pieces to souls that flew by his realm on the way to rebirth on the Material Plane. These souls, known as Harrowed, are forced to share a body with an evil force of destruction for all eternity; not even death grants them respite. Apparently, Lord_Gareth did this "because it sounded fun."

For all his cruelty, though, Lord_Gareth is not truly evil. He seems to have some good intent in his actions; namely, the pleasing and abetting of mysterious entities, known only as "other forum users." These users seem to give Lord_Gareth his divine power, as he has few worshipers- those who learn of his presence tend to go mad from the knowledge, and those who don't seem like they did anyway.

Spoiler

Although I haven't viewed all of Lord_Gareth's homebrew or posts, I am a big fan of his Harrowed and Malefactor base classes, and I've considered using his alignment system when I become a more experience DM. Most of what I know comes from his homebrew, and if I got anything wrong or left important aspects out I apologize.

[ArcturusV]

Shouldn't madness inspired be Red/Black for that? Or maybe Red/Blue?

[Werephilosopher]

Shouldn't madness inspired be Red/Black for that? Or maybe Red/Blue?

I really had a hard time deciding to leave out Red, I felt like any one of the three combinations of Red/Black/Blue could work to some degree.

[A Tad Insane]

I'm restricting my statement for courtesy's sake

[Sunken Valley]

I wish to ascend to divinity.

Whether anyone knows me well enough is another matter.

Flickerdart

Spoiler

Show

Greater Deity
Symbol: a White Scarf under a Brown Hood
Home: Giant in the Playground
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Wit, Knowledge, Clarity, Teaching
Worshipers: Typically scholars who follow in Flickerdart's example; sharing knowledge through humor and joke. Striving to help others understand things while simultaneously lifting their spirits.
Domains: Charm, Community, Joy, Knowledge, and Truth.
Favored Weapon: Cunning (Dagger, if you need an actual weapon)

Dogma:
Flickerdart is a Good deity who's main agenda is the spreading of understanding while providing witty remarks enjoyable to those who hear them. He takes a balanced view when it comes to differences of opinion and encourages his followers to do the same, including when it comes to opinions which differ from their own.

Clergy and Temples:
Flickerdart's clerics typically wear white scarves and brown hoods, as their deity's symbol portrays. Many of them are Cloistered Clerics, or Wizards who put an extra emphasis in Charisma. They are quick to smile and laugh and mirth and knowledge is their trade.

Flickerdart's temples are usually set up so that there are various tables with comfortable seats and a brightly lit stage where people can stand and speak. (Imagine a comedy club) Food, drink and merriment are encouraged in his temples, but violence and insult is forbidden.

Emperor Tippy

Spoiler

Show

Overdeity
Symbol: An open tome with a glowing rune displayed on the pages surrounded by a ring of smaller runes underneath a brilliant crown.
Home: Where few dare to tread.
Alignment: True Neutral
Portfolio: Creation, Power, Resourcefulness, Planning
Worshipers: Worshipers of Emperor Tippy are only the few who have the ability to understand his teachings. They are those individuals who draw great power from the world around them and actively use that power to shape it.
Domains: Competition, Creation, Glory, Magic, Planning, and Spell Domains.
Favored Weapon: Magic (Quarterstaff)

Dogma:
The Emperor desires his followers to be the best they can be, so in order to provide a mechanism for that, he provided a world for them in which in order to survive, they must often be a combination of brilliant, lucky, and paranoid. Only the bravest, the most foolish, the most cunning, the most paranoid, and most powerful dare to tread in his realm.

Clergy and Temples:
Emperor Tippy's most devout followers are those who have survived and thrived in the environment he has created. They are the those who take the world and change it to be as they desire through whatever means they have. They are ambitious and brilliant. He, however, has many followers who simply can't thrive in this environment, but pay him great respect regardless.

The Emperor's temples are typically the size of a metropolis and have an impressive array of defenses to thwart those who might wish to tear them down, from the application of weirdstones, to magical traps and permanent invisible, permanent telepathic bond warforged in command of squads of shadesteel golems.

Edit: More to come, probably.

Urpriest

Spoiler

Show

Intermediate Deity
Symbol: Three jagged claw marks.
Alignment: True Neutral
Portfolio: Beasts, Monsters, Creation
Worshipers: Typically magic-users interested in creating new and exciting creatures.
Domains: Animal, Plant, Summoner, Dragon Below
Favored Weapon: Claw

Dogma:
Urpriest teaches the responsible magical experimentation that leads to new forms of life. Through the mixing of templates, aspects of some monsters with others, etc. Often for the purposes of guarding the follower's lair, or dungeon. While Urpriest won't actively prevent these magical experimentations to be used for evil, he does frown upon it.

Clergy and Temples:
Urpriest's clergy are typically Wizards, Sorcerers, Malconvokers, or other summoners, grafters, or magic users who employ the use of other creatures. Some are very guarding of their advancements, but others share their progress.

Urpriest doesn't have traditional temples, but rather he has magic message-ways with which his followers can share their discoveries and advancements with each other, all from the comfort of their own lair, dungeon, tower, etc. The connections between these places (and possibly these places themselves, together) serve as Urpriest's temples.

Curmudgeon

Spoiler

Show

Greater Deity
Symbol: a set of scales, perfectly balanced

Portfolio: Rules, Deals and Pacts, Legality
Worshipers: Typically Experts who seek to understand the laws of the universe, however anyone who seeks this goal can be a worshiper of Curmudgeon.
Domains: Law, Pact, Mentalism, Mind and Knowledge.
Favored Weapon: The Pen (Crossbow)

Dogma:
Curmudgeon's teachings follow a strict adherence to rules and the understanding of the rules. He teaches his followers to seek out an understanding of the rules at not only a surface, but the fundamental level. His followers seek to understand the workings of the universe around them.

Clergy and Temples:
Followers of Curmudgeon come from all kinds of backgrounds, but many are Experts. They perform experiments to try to determine the guiding rules of the world they live in. Mostly they do research.

Temples to Curmudgeon are large structures which often house vast and intricate contraptions whose purpose is lost on the commonfolk, they are often elaborate devices used to test various theories of the members of that temple. They are places of study and the sharing of knowledge, often very quiet. Within their doors, new revelations are worth a great deal more than gold.

Clergy and Temples:
Psyren's followers are typically Psions or other psionic creatures. They seek to hone their mental abilities and use their minds to accomplish their goals. They often keep dull grey ioun stones to help mark them as followers of Psyren.

Psyren's temples are often structures crafted entirely from crystal, and filled with various gems and psionic crystals. Any psionic creature is treated warmly, however, non-psionic creatures are often regarded as strangers and treated somewhat coldly.

Anyone who I did feel free to give feedback. (You guys have my permission, but I doubt anybody would be interested in doing me)
