GOD POWER: FRIGG

[asgardmods]

god power: frigg.

❧ the goddess of fertility and maternal love. Amongst all the gods - including Odin - Frigg's connection to the Mother is the strongest. The Allfather would go so far as to argue that there is no one closer to Her in all of creation, other than perhaps the Fates themselves. Frigg was born with a heart vast enough to give all a place within it, like the physical embodiment of the Mother's boundless love. She doesn't quite speak to Her directly the way Odin attempts to; it's more intuitive, like a feeling or an impression that might guide her to where her care is most needed. All life is precious and must be guarded against the dangers of the world so that life might continue unfettered. Her gentle care and caution can swiftly turn to righteous fury when Her children's livelihood is threatened. Frigg is fierce and formidable, perhaps even moreso because of the sweetness that always remains in her eyes. ❧ frigg's realm of magic. Abjuration Magic Abjuration is a school of magic that protects, blocks, and banishes. Abjurations are protective spells. They create physical or magical barriers, negate magical or physical abilities, harm trespassers, or even banish the subject of the spell to another plane of existence. You can find a list of Abjuration spells here. Necromancy Magic Necromancy is a school of magic that that manipulates, creates, or destroys life or life force. Necromancy spells manipulate the power of death, unlife, and the life force. You can find a list of Necromancy spells here. (Please note: you cannot select any Necromancy spells that involve resurrection. Ask if you aren't certain!) Power Set Samples Abjuration: Power Set Justification: spells that "protect" Level One: Shield: An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. The shield is only big enough to cover 1-2 humanoids, and vanishes after an hour. Any physical weapons that hit the barrier simply fall to the ground, though any magical spells will reverberate off the shield and hit another target nearby, if applicable. Level Two: Stoneskin: This spell turns the flesh of a willing creature you touch as hard as stone. For up to two hours, the affected creature cannot be as easily harmed as a flesh being. This spell can only be cast on one creature at a time. Level Three: Invulnerability: You or one other creature are immune to all damage for up to 10 minutes. This spell can only be cast on one creature at a time. Necromancy: Power Set Justification: spells that "manipulate life energy" Level One: Spare the Dying: You touch a living creature that is on the brink of death. As long as you maintain physical contact, that creature is stabilized, and will remain so until either you remove that contact or someone else heals them. Level Two: Life Transference: You sacrifice some of your health to mend another creature’s injuries. Some of that creature's wounds are healed, but in return you are injured just as badly. Level Three: Circle of Death: A sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60 foot radius sphere from a point you can see, up to 150 feet away. Failing to resist the spell results in grave amounts of that creature's life force being siphoned away, leaving them on the brink of death. Creatures that succeed in resisting are still wounded, but not nearly so grievously. You may select or adapt either of these power sets for use! ❧ how to pick your power. All of this crazy nonsense said, there are three ways you can choose your power: pick one of the above samples: the easiest solution! We've already presented you with two power sets following a logical progression of development within your god's realm of magic. You can swap some levels out or adapt them in some way, but it's there if you'd like to rely on it. pick spells from the D&D spell list: this may require some finagling, but we highly recommend this! Follow the links above to select three spells by increasing level that seem related to each other in some logical way. You may pick any three spells you wish, but the levels should follow the general guideline of: First Level: cantrip - 2nd level Second Level: 2nd level - 5th level Third Level: 5th level - 9th level If some spells don't make sense, or if you know what they do but don't know how it would work in game, let us know and we'll help you adapt it to our world. If you find one spell you like but you don't know what to do about the others, let us know and we can provide suggestions for the rest. If you are familiar with the D&D spell system and want to create a set that is relevant to your god's domain but is not in their listed schools of magic, you can still apply for it as an original set! provide a well-balanced original power set of your own: this will be highly scrutinized by the mods for fairness, so plan accordingly! Consider your god's domains and realm of magic, and come up with one central power along with two logical levels of progression building upon that core magic. The levels should be appropriately along the lines of: weak - strong - powerful. There must also be reasonable limitations on your suggested power. The mods may make adjustments as they see fit before approval. You may use the Superpower Wiki if you'd like, but please provide links for reference. To submit your power for approval, copy the appropriate form below and reply to this post with CHARACTER NAME - CANON in the title of your comment. A mod will respond to your comment with APPROVED/REVISIONS/REJECTED along with clearer descriptions of your powers or additional comments. We'll have a little bit of back and forth conversation on this post (or in private if you prefer; feel free to contact us) to hash out the details, so don't be afraid if we respond with revisions! We're really excited to be giving you guys customizable powers so we hope you'll work with us in making this manageable.

❧ ready to level up? Have you been active within your community in Asgard? Have you hosted an event or built an establishment or otherwise contributed to the development of your district? Have you forged a meaningful relationship with your god? Has living in Asgard contributed to your development as a person in some way? Or has your presence in Asgard contributed to someone else's development as a person, whether it be by positive or negative means? There are many different ways to "qualify" for leveling up; the point is that we want to see true development in yourself, your god, or your world. We want to see how you are shaping Asgard, or how Asgard is shaping you. This investment is what strengthens the bond between you and your god, granting you access to greater levels of power. If you need help figuring out what this justification might look like for your character, please contact us so we can guide you to your next level! That said, there will be an activity requirement and a short written explanation of what your character has accomplished and developed here in Asgard. This doesn't need to be fancy or anything, we just really want to see your character getting something out of the game and being rewarded with some kickass new powers. As of right now, the level up requirements are as follows: Level Two: Activity Requirement: 50 comments with at least five different characters (5 comments minimum from your character per thread), each showing some type of "development" or "growth" as described above. You may use up to seven threads to meet the 50 comment requirement. All comments posted in-character on the network and log communities and IC inboxes are valid for these proofs. Threads may be from no longer than six months prior to your application. This should give you plenty of time to build upon a slow-burn development, such as projects that take a long time to complete or relationships that change over time. Show us something good or maybe even something bad happening to your character that has in some way pushed them to grow. Let us peep on some on some of your more meaningful threads! Written Requirement: write no less than five sentences describing your character's growth as a result of their actions or influence in Asgard. Are they happy? Are they scared? Has Asgard made them see something in a new light, or are they now focused on something drastically different than their home life? You can consider this a basic summary of what your character has done during their time in Asgard and how this may have affected them. This doesn't need to be very fancy or long, whatever you think is enough to show some small amount of development for your character. Level Three: Activity Requirements: 75 comments with at least three different characters (7 comments minimum from your character per thread), each showing a significant amount of "development" or "growth" for your character. You may use may use up to five threads to meet the 50 comment requirement. You may only reuse two of the same characters from your Level Two application, and you cannot reuse the same threads. All comments posted in-character on the network and log communities and IC inboxes are valid for these proofs. Threads may be from no longer than three months prior to your application. This is because we specifically want to see something profound happen for your character that affects them as a person in some way. Level Three is the "powerful" stage of your power, which means your bond with your god and/or your district is at its strongest. Why? What happened? What changed for them? What are they committed to now that they might not have been beforehand? What have they gained or lost that has shifted their outlook or priorities? We want to see deep character development and the threads where it all happened. Written Requirement: write no less than seven sentences describing the growth your character has gone through overall in Asgard. Build upon what you told us about in your Level Two application without reusing too much of the same information. Tell us about something your character influenced that has had a deep impact on either you, your god, or Asgard and Yggdrasil overall. How has your character's time in Asgard changed something on a profound level? Brag about it and let us soak in the awesomeness of your accomplishments. The major things we're looking for are 1) a major change in a character's personality or behaviour compared to them entering the game, 2) a way that your character has engaged with their Godhaus, and 3) a demonstration of their involvement with the setting in general (ie. magic, lore, major plot events, etc.) When you're ready, copy the appropriate application below and respond to your original comment from when you first requested your power. Put CHARACTER NAME - LEVEL TWO/THREE APPLICATION in the title of your new comment. The mods will respond with APPROVED/REVISIONS/REJECTED along with an explanation of our decision and additional comments. To be quite frank, we're more invested in you having fun than being super strict about this whole process, so don't be afraid of feeling like you need to meet a certain standard or anything. This is honestly just a way for you to show us that you're doing something fun in the game, and we want to reward you for that with some new magic tricks. It's really as simple as that! If you're ever uncertain, give us what you have and we'll work with you on it, and always feel free to contact us directly for help.

Player Name: Naz
Character Name: Héctor (vagabone)
Canon: Coco
Sample Set Selected: Necromancy set
Any Changes?: Would I be able to swap out Circle of Death for Mass Heal as I saw someone else has above, for similar reasons? I'd like to keep him more healing focused, as he's a lousy fighter and it fits the general theme of 'life manipulation', like they said.

ACCEPTED

[asgardmods]

accepted. ❧ your god powers work as follows: Level One: Spare the Dying: You touch a creature that is close to death. The creature stabilizes and is no longer dying; while its wounds may no longer be fatal, they do not heal. Level Two: Life Transference: You sacrifice some of your health to mend another creature’s injuries. Some of that creature's wounds are healed, but in return you are injured twice as badly. Level Three: Mass Heal: A flood of healing energy flows from you into injured creatures around you. You restore up to 7 creatures you can see within 60 feet of you to full health. Creatures healed by this spell are also cured of all diseases and any effect making them blind or deafened. ❧ what happens next. All characters begin at Level One; see the above to learn how to level up your power. Remember that your ability to use magic is finite. You can only use your god powers a certain amount each day before your "battery" is considered drained, at which point you will feel physically weak and exhausted. Pushing yourself past this point will result in death. The amount of energy expended each time you use your power decreases as you level up. At first level, consider yourselves capable of using your god power no more than roughly five times a day. The more you have to focus on maintaining the effects of a spell, the faster your "battery" will drain. If you have any questions, even if you're in the middle of a thread and not sure about how to use your power, always feel free to contact a mod for help! Have fun with your new powers! navigation.

SPELL BUFFS

[asgardmods]

Hello! We've recently gone through our compendium of spells and added some buffs to almost all of them. This makes your spells stronger out of the gate, without having to level up in order to make your Level One and Level Two spells more and more useful. You will still have to level up in order to get new spells, as well as be able to cast them more times per day, but they'll be as strong as possible as soon as you receive them. The only exception is your Level One spell receiving a little extra spice once you reach Level Three.

These are your new spells, which will be available immediately:

1. Level One: Spare the Dying: You touch a living creature that is on the brink of death. As long as you maintain physical contact, that creature is stabilized, and will remain so until either you remove that contact or someone else heals them.


2. Level Two: Life Transference: You sacrifice some of your health to mend another creature’s injuries. Some of that creature's wounds are healed, but in return you are injured just as badly.


3. Level Three: Mass Heal: A flood of healing energy flows from you into injured creatures around you. You restore up to seven creatures you can see within 60 feet of you to full health. Creatures healed by this spell are also cured of all diseases and any effect making them blind or deafened.

These buffs tie into our mini event for this month, but will be yours from here on out. You feel a surge within your body, inherently feeling more powerful and as if your fingers are tingling in anticipation, ready to test out your new capabilities.

Please feel free to ask any questions about the mechanics or spells if you have them!
