Spoiler: Veles (click to show/hide)

Name: Veles (Vell-ez)

Sphere: Theft and Trickery

Primary form: Appears as a fox-like humanoid, ginger-haired with white streaks. Slightly tanned skin, pointed nose and has a very wide grin when moved to smile. His eyes appear to shift between colours, betraying his godly origins. Also known to shape-shift, however, to aid in his machinations.

Associated symbols: The silhouette of a fox

Description/background: Veles is a trickster. Derives great enjoyment in tricking and deceiving, whether his target is mortal or otherwise. He works hard to string out a deception for as long as possible, though generally stops short of completely ruining someone. It is only for his own amusement, after all.

Veles also enjoys the performing arts, both as a participant and as a watcher, considering it a grand test of trickery; a master performer can make an entire room of people believe they are someone else, move them to tears or great laughter through words and song. It can also serve as a grand distraction...

Veles loves to steal things from people. If you have something he wants, he won't quit until it is in his possession. He is always wants to test his skills as a thief, desiring the perfect theft every time.

Technically does not have a gender/sex as he is a shape-shifter ((will be referred to as he because I'm male, and can't be buggered remembering I don't have a gender-dependent pronoun)) and he uses this ability to further his trickster goals.

Right... I think that's it. Any problems with that, anyone? (an odd way to ask for constructive criticism)

Looks fine to me. He probably won't enjoy what Zenurion does to those who steals from him though.
Hint: Aperture science
Also this reminded me that I'm totally going to create a black market for weapons and other dangerous stuff with Stirk's character (if he agrees, that is, but I don't really see why not. I mean a black market is a pretty illegal thing, right?).

That is more something I would want to find out in-character, but it sounds totally like something he would do  .

Never really did much with magic, however I think the best sounding system is the oversized system.

Didn't you have the entire school dedicated to exploiting it?

Speaking of lists for the OP, would you guys want me to make a list of everyone's character sheet like I did in litany? Also we're going to need someone for the bestiary. I suppose I could do that as well if no one volunteer but I'd need to know before the game start because it's much easier to do this without having to hunt for stuff all over the thread.

Thankfully, the only magic I care about is Necromancy, Lawmancy, and Thaumaturgy.

How much trouble will a god who considers himself the rightful lord and protector of all souls be? 

Oh dear, looks like we won't get along well in this game. Unless you're fine with others making all sorts of cruel experiments on souls.

KJP made a list last time (He is a much more....active/willing/actually doing things GM than Litany's Stirk), you should ask him about it.

I vote new OOC, new game=new OOC for justice. Probably will confuse newcomers less, too.

I am rather tempted to be a god of clowns and chaos.

((Prehistoric mad scientist))

"AAAAHAAA! I have created the greatest weapon of mass destruction this world has ever seen...FIRE! *Rubs two sticks together ferociously*"

Propose we kill Zenurion. He is literally a villain.

"Not wanting to put any effort into making races" is just kind of...boring? Unsportsmanlike? I can't think of a word that describes it. I don't like it. "I am not putting effort into this community game" is just not a good thing to say. It isn't extra effort. It is literally any effort. The whole point of a God Game is world creation, and not putting in at least an attempt at originality in something we all work to make is almost insulting to all the other players. You can ask for help if you want, War gods are easy to make things for (like Fusil's), I am sure we could all work together to give you something-that-is-not-Human.

No no, it's not that I don't like creation. Creation was my favourite part of Ye Gods, even. It's just that creating a race to worship me isn't that important to me. Magic, projects, weapons, artifacts, worlds, etc. are all things I'm interested in creating. Races are pretty much the only thing I don't care about putting effort into creating.

EDIT: I wrote a one thousand-word description of a creature I planned to make to KJP. The idea that I don't put effort into creation as a whole is false. I'm just disinterested in one of its aspects, said aspect being popular to most other players.
