Aumanor posted:What about Sheng Seleris? I gotta say I'm pretty sure "Okay so you can have Enlightenment or the Wo-" "THE WORLD" means sheng seleris is even more hideously powerful in K6BD (pretty impressive for a guy who has to be kept in hell by the Goddess of Keeping Sheng Seleris In Hell.) Could totally see Sheng as one of the guys who basically triggered the Second Conquest into being a massive free-for-all.

White Coke posted:The next arc is going to involve Solomon David's annual martial arts tournament. He'll be beaten either by having some crippling psychological vulnerability exploited, or getting smashed in the face with the universe. Solomon David getting beaten would be amazing but kind of surprising because the whole condition of the tournament is that if you beat him you get his seventh of the multiverse.

I'm currently trying to make one of my clan elders roleplay a god cow so I get more money, but she keeps getting eaten by wolves in the divine roleplaying session. consider sending the "wrong" person on it, a humakti or vingan will get a malus from not being the right sort of god-botherer but it's less than the "has literally no Don't Die skills" malus that most uraldans get. (You don't want them to be TO good at not dying though, because then they'll totally kick the wolves asses and the bulls will go 'pffft wolves are little babies, why on earth do we need humans to protect us from them?')

Dead Reckoning posted:Cio has a personality, but isn't a person in the sense of being human, because her fundamental drives and needs are alien. This is why people are so fascinated with psychopaths: beings whose appearance and affect mirrors our own, but who underneath do not share our feelings and humanity. Lol this whole time I thought you were saying she wasn't a person based on the actually relatively credible argument in universe that devils are all Philosophical Zombies, not this "man how alien is it to need to Eat in order to Live?" bullshit.

Mammonbucks(tm) aren't the ONLY currency in throne, it Really Really Sucks for the people who were primarily doing business in them but a lot of people will probably be able to switch over to doing business in other not quite as reliable currency.

Joe Slowboat posted:Not so much in this case, Kirkbride was influenced by Vedic stories and Advaita Vedanta but CHIM is a legitimately novel weird cosmotheological idea. CHIM does take a lot of influence from the second big inspiration behind TES, Glorantha. Some of those ideas that enlightenment can Go Wrong, that it's not even necessarily a good thing... those are very much inspired by Illumination.

habeasdorkus posted:Yeah, but he's not an incubus, he chose the name. So he doesn't get the devil pass of "it's my nature!" Ofc, I have zero doubt that he shows up in men's dreams as well, so at least he's not gender discriminating. He's not AN incubus, he's THE incubus. The earthly concept is basically a metaphysical reflection out into the rest of the multiverse, all based on him.

Dead Reckoning posted:It makes a nice counterpoint with Solomon: he's so utterly powerful that, if he just decided to walk off the job and pursue his journey towards becoming true royalty, there wouldn't be a drat thing anyone could to do to stop him. But he's so fixated on finding an appropriate successor in order to ensure that his empire endures without him that he can't leave, and it's quite possible that the whole thing can't work without Solomon David sitting in the big chair. Becoming unstoppable in hand to hand combat and then deciding that the only person suitable to replace you is someone able to defeat you in a duel is pretty on the nose. He doesn't actually require "can beat him in a duel" his condition appears to be "single drop of blood." Which might not be PERFECTLY fair but I do reckon is pretty close to "is powerful enough that if i handed over all my demiurge power they'd be as powerful as i was with that demiurge power."

Ashcans posted:I don't think Incubus is Metis good student; part of her sword law is that to truly master it, you have to abandon everything except the single perfect cut you are performing. You shed thought of victory, your identity, even the concept of a next blow - the only thing that matters is the cut. Incubus is extremely into winning. I think that he is an able swordsman but fails to achieve that singular will, which is why Meti doesn't consider him a true apprentice. What I at least was saying wasn't necessarily that he was a "good" student, but that he may have done as he was instructed without complaint, and thus produced no real anecdotes to make their way into Meti's writings.

I recall that the prime angels have been in the process of doing that since Zoss chased after them into the void to own them but I'm not sure if destruction of their material form also accomplishes that A sufficiently brutal destruction of their material form can carry over to the void.
