PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT FOR YOUNGLINGS Themes such as: Suicide, Abuse (mentally, physically, etc etc), Death, Blood, Gore, so on so forth. Just overall it's like- a lot and I'd rather not upset someone. This will most likely have sexual themes (this of course will be taken to DM's to respect andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s Rules) as well as I would be aware of that. SO.

~General Rules~

• Moderately long responses please! I prefer detailed answers. If your response takes you a few days, that's fine. I like detailed, long replies. They don't have to be perfect, but I do like longer responses, it feels like there's more to develop and whatnot.

• On that note, I would like to point out that I prioritize willingness to learn, so as long as you have well thought out answers and not something like "She sniffled." As your response, we should be okay. Sometimes writing block hits, sometimes we don't know where to continue, and that's okay.

• Literature, preferably experienced. I won't hold it to anyone if their grammar isn't perfect. But I would like the responses to make sense, and I would like someone who flows well with my writing style. That being said, If I deny your rp style it is nothing against you. I hope that is understandable.

• LGBTQIA+ is always, and will always be welcome. Your character can be anywhere on the spectrum. Any sexuality, any gender, etc. This is a safe place. In fact I'd rather the rp be queer lmao.

• This roleplay is MATURE. Anything explicit will be moved to DM's or a Fade to Black situation to respect andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules. Relationships in this story are totally fine (I'm actually kind of aching for a romance ngl).

• There will be triggering topics (as I have listed above, and there will be more) Violence, death, questionable choices, threatening situations, blood, gore, so on so forth, will be present. Please for the love of god, tell me your triggers so that we can avoid those moments. I will either give a heads up if something is mentioned OR we can completely skip over those moments. This is supposed to be enjoyable for the both of us.

• Swearing? I don't give a fuck. Just don't use slurs. I will no longer reply, or roleplay with you.

• Your character can be an asshole, but you cannot be an asshole. Be a decent human being please.

~Basic Plot~

Your character has been sent as a sacrifice to the Gods after various natural disasters have occurred. The Gods are angry, the priests whisper. And they have chosen you as a sacrifice for your guardian God. The God of Stars, of the Night, of the Sky. Callyx.

How you respond is up to you, but either way, the God is coming to collect his sacrifice.

(The deafening roar of battle fills the air as swords clash and arrows whiz through the sky. Amidst the chaos, Roman stands firm, his eyes ablaze with determination. His muscles tense as he locks eyes with his opponent, a formidable warrior clad in dark armor, a reflection of who the other man is. With a swift motion, he unsheathes his gleaming sword, ready to engage in a life-or-death dance.

The clash begins. The enemy swings their weapon in a wide arc, aiming to cleave Roman in two. With lightning reflexes, he sidesteps the attack, feeling the rush of air as the blade narrowly misses him. Seizing the opportunity, he retaliates, launching a series of swift strikes. His sword slices through the air, each blow fueled by years of training and honed skill. The clash of metal reverberates as his blade meets the enemy's armor, sparks flying in a dazzling display.

As the fight escalates, Roman’s senses heighten. He anticipates the enemy's every move, their patterns and weaknesses becoming clear. With a calculated feint, he lures them into a vulnerable position, backing them into a corner with no escape. In one fluid motion, Eoman lunges forward, delivering a powerful thrust that pierces the armor, drawing a gasp of pain from his foe. The taste of victory lingers on his lips, but he knows there is no room for complacency. The battle rages on, each combatant refusing to yield, their bodies locked in a deadly struggle as they fight for survival in the heart of the chaos.)

Full Name: Callyx
Nickname: Nyxie (Only his sister, Soleil is allowed to call him that)
Alias: God of the Stars, The Watchful one
Age: Callyx was born before time itself. So- But appears to be in his early 20's.
Gender: Fluid, however usually presents in a male body.
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Species: God
Appearance:
Human: Callyx has inky black hair that's cut in a messy wolf cut with incredibly long hair that reaches down to mid calf when down completely. Braids are scattered throughout his hair, as well as what appear as stars braided into his hair. For the most part his hair is loose and flows freely… almost as if it has a mind of its own. His skin is a lighter tone, with almost smoke like tattoos flowing along his skin. His eyes are a navy blue, with thick lashes framing his eyes. Broad shoulders, smaller waist, and on the leaner side. He wears long robes, usually with fabric that shifts with the night sky. His color palette tends to stay in the black, dark blue, and silver design.
Godly: When he's in his godly form, his skin goes a navy blue/black with stars dotting his skin. His eyes turn a pure white with what almost looks like white smoke emitting from his eyes. His hair turns a bright white and floats almost like a halo above his head. His body almost isn't… solid-? It moves freely, like smoke.
Height:
Human: 6'2
Godly: He can adjust his height as he pleases.
Personality: Callyx is a calm, collected God. Considered one of peace, prosperity, and protection, Callyx is often seen in a gentle light, a forgiving god compared to his firecracker of a sister. He offers guidance to those that are lost, a sense of safety and warmth, and overall, just in general a soft tempered god. However, this description is usually how mortals describe him. Callyx is a God whose personality is hard to pin down. His moods seem to change with the weather. He can come off as cold and haughty, one with an ego. His calm is rather him carefully monitoring those around him, he can come off as harsh when talking to others. He's perceptive, quick witted, 'measure twice cut once' type of person. He has no room for error.
Weapons: Two scythes created from onyx and silver infused with his magic. These scythes are not connected to poles or handles, but rather chains.
Skills:
Magic:

• General Magic, as one of the creators of magic, he has control over various types of magic, void magic being the most common one people associate with him
• Creation, every living thing is created out of star dust. Anything that breathes was given life by Callyx and a few of the other gods (they will be mentioned later on in the story)
• Balances the sun and moons and rotates the stars.
• A few others that will be revealed with time.
  History: To be revealed
  Theme Songs:
• Farewell, Neverland - TXT
• Free - Mother Mother

(I'll probably come back and edit this, this is just the basics for now)

Nickname: None
Age: 25yrs
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him
Zodiac: Pisces
Species: Human hybrid (Bloodline: Unknown)
Appearance: His lean and athletic frame suggests both agility and strength. His short, tousled brown hair adds a touch of untamed charm, while his piercing green eyes hold a captivating intensity. A five o’clock shadow adorns his face, hiding the small scars he got from shabby shaving attempts when he was younger.

He carries the weight of his experiences, which adds a layer of caution and cynicism to his interactions with others. His weariness has made him exceptionally observant and perceptive. He analyzes situations with a sharp intellect, always seeking the most efficient and strategic approach. Despite his permanent tiredness, he remains resourceful and quick-witted, finding opportunities where others may only see obstacles. While he may be selective in forming close connections, those who earn his trust will find an unwavering ally. He is willing to go to great lengths to protect those he cares about, driven by a sense of justice that guides his actions. Deep down, he harbors a desire for a different path, one that could bring an end to his constant need to be on guard, but until then, he relies on his tenacity and resilience to navigate life.

History: In the gaslit streets of his hometown, Ezra was born into the underbelly of society. Abandoned as a child, he found himself thrust into the harsh realities of life on the streets, surrounded by poverty and desperation. Left to fend for himself, he quickly learned the art of survival. With no formal education or legitimate means to make a living, he turned to a life of thievery. He became a skilled pickpocket, navigating crowded markets and bustling thoroughfares with a nimble touch and a keen eye for valuable trinkets. As he grew older, his reputation as a cunning and elusive thief began to spread throughout the city. Soon, he delved into more intricate heists, targeting wealthy aristocrats and infiltrating opulent estates. His mastery of lock-picking and stealth allowed him to evade security measures, making him a formidable and sought-after asset for the town’s criminal elite. However, his life as a thief was not without its perils. He encountered rival gangs, treacherous allies, and even brushes with the law. Each encounter tested his mettle and forged him into a hardened individual. The shadows became his refuge, and the darkness of the night his ally. Despite the moral ambiguity of his actions, he held onto a sense of personal justice. He carefully selected his targets, often focusing on corrupt individuals who exploited the vulnerable. In his own way, he sought to balance the scales of society, taking from the privileged to provide a glimmer of hope for those less fortunate. But beneath the surface, a weariness began to settle into Ezra's soul. The constant dance with danger, the need to hide his true self, and the weight of his own actions weighed heavily on him. He yearned for a life beyond the shadows, one where he could find redemption and leave behind the world of thievery. With each successful heist, Ezra grew closer to accumulating enough wealth to escape his criminal existence. But fate had other plans in store for him.

Oh, I love him!! 10/10!

Awww thank you!!!

So, question is, how do you want Ezra to deal with being sacrificed to the gods? Does he get caught? Do people rat him out? Does he go to the dedicated temples and just offers himself up since he's tired?
