HIATUS- 2 (Patreon)

alright peeps, first real update. They'll be shorter than hero's heart in terms of pages since i also have to write for them, but hopefully it should be ok.

i've also revised the rules a bit because the duration of the various miracles felt a bit too brief. Now they last at minimum for the whole update, but they can be dismissed if needed be (at least, at rank 1...). I also increased the number of godlings selected from three to four, so there'll be more chances for people to get picked.

i'll post the rules below with each update, so if you're unsure what to do please give them a read. Hope you like the update!

FOUR GODLINGS WILL BE CHOSEN AT RANDOM EACH UPDATE.

if it's the first comment from a patron, then they must describe their godling domain and looks.

a godling always have a specific trait, choose one.

1-a tail instead of legs 2-wings 3- a third eye

a domain will ALWAYS influence the wish that is granted, at times with unpredictable effects. a godling of fire that lifts a wooden bowl from a distance might also set it on fire. A wish that directly concerns the godling's Domain allows them to act as one rank higher.

space, time, death, life and mind domains are forbidden. In general, something too powerful,big or grandiose isn't a good choice. The godlings are young, and not very powerful. Think smaller, more specific domains.

GRANTING WISHES

a godling has power, but only when someone expresses a wish. They won't grant wishes automatically and they can choose, but their power MUST be based on a specific wish.

(valid wishes will be higlighted in PINK)

when someone expresses a wish, a godling can grant it, but there are limitations.

RANKS

ONE expressed wish will produce an EFFECT, based on the rank of the godling.

each expressed wish grants a rank to a godling.

RANK 1: WISH

a godling can affect one individual. The effect can be dismissed instantly if the target wishes to do so. Otherwise, it lasts until the end of the update in which the wish was granted.

RANK 2: BOON

a godling can affect up to three people. The effect can be resisted through effort and concentration, and dismissed if the target has enough time and focus to do so. Otherwise, it lasts until the end of the update in which it was granted and throughout the following update.

RANK 3: MIRACLE

a godling can affect a small group of up to eight people. The effect can only be resisted through extreme effort, and dismissing it requires intense focus. Unless successfully dismissed, the effect is permanent.

RANK 4: CURSE

a godling can affect a large group of up to twenty people. The effect is permanent and cannot be dismissed. It can only be suppressed or contained through constant concentration. If that concentration lapses, the effect immediately returns.

A Rank 4 effect may also be temporarily put to sleep for one update if a condition determined by the godling is fulfilled. When the next update begins, the effect returns unless it is suppressed again.

STAYING IN THE WORLD

The four godlings summoned for an update will remain in the world until the following update. During this time, they can interact with mortals, learn about their lives, and discover the wishes they may choose to grant. In the following update, the godlings can grant one of those wishes before being recalled by the Fisherman.

so it would go something like this

Update 1:

Godling arrives → explores → talks → learns wishes → chooses one.

Update 2:

Godling performs miracle → gains Rank → Fisherman recalls them → three new godlings arrive.

SOME CONCLUDING WORDS

The player controls the godling's personality, appearance, and intended action.

The comic controls the consequences and final interpretation of the miracle.

please keep it civil and avoid creating unnecessary drama or conflict among the players, we're doing this to have fun after all!
