Demigod

Demigods are those who, having passed through the Portal of Fate and then gone on to achieve the 100th circle of experience, fanned the spark within them to a new state of existence. Demigods are not, nor can ever become, full gods; the pathways to that are now blocked by the Threshold Abyss.

Demigods gather essence instead of experience, which can be used for several divine powers. Demigods receive the same abilities as Titans, as well as some of their own, which may cost their personal essence to use. These include:

• STRENGTH OF THE GODS
  • Regeneration on the Prime Material Plane (1/6).
• ASCENSION TO THE DIVINE
  • You can ASCEND TO THE HAVENS, where no mortal may pass.
• REBIRTH OF THE PHOENIX
  • Divine resurrection in the safety of the Divine Havens when they die. Upon death, the syntax is PHOENIX to resurrect. This power drains considerable essence from the Demigod. If the demigod uses Phoenix to trigger the resurrection without sufficient essence to afford it he will be stripped of divinity and become mortal (though still titan) once again.
  • If you die, it will cost you 50,000 essence to resurrect in your city, 100,000 to resurrect off the Prime Material Plane and 250,000 to resurrect on the Prime Material Plane.
• EMBOLDENING THE SPARK
  • Demigods are able to fan aspects of their Divine Spark, empowering their own nature and gaining new strengths and abilities.
  • Utilize the POWERS verb to select, remove and adjust your strengths. The number of powers you can have active is limited by weight: each power has a corresponding weight.
  • Demigod powers can be either supernumerary (active) or ephemeral (inactive). This allows you to buy more powers than you have weight for, and then make them active or inactive as required. There is a cost of 10% of the initial essence for turning an ephemeral power supernumerary.

Variants

Ascendants

Ascendants come in two forms, Vernal Ascendants and True Ascendants. Much as Demigods, these enigmatic, trans-mortal entities are able to embolden their sparks and have a greater variety of attributes they may increase.

For more information about them, see also HELP ASCENDANTS.

Vernal Demigods

From time to time a Vernal Ascendant may be cut off from the fullest of their Nexus of Power, their being drained for a portion of the power they were imbibed with. Greatly changed from this, however, they remain a shadow of what they were and, so long as they maintain a link to the nexus that once supported them, they have greater possibilities than any normal Demigod.

Avatars

The true potential might of a Demigod will not be fully made manifest unless that Demigod is in the Order of an Elder God and that God decides to form a bond with the Demigod, in which case the Demigod becomes Their Avatar (sometimes referred to as Their Herald), gaining more powers on behalf of the Divine Order of their Patron God. This is not a bond that an Elder God will lightly undertake, as the essence cost to that God is staggering and represents a deep link between the essence of God and Demigod. Avatars are expected to be walking representations of their Patron God and often act as Their voice. Cults to venerate aspects of Elder Gods have begun to manifest in modern times, led by Avatars who seek to personify Their being. They may also learn to Resurrect members of their faith via access to the demigod power.

Perks

Demigods and Ascendants that invest their essence to continue to level up will be able to earn one perk point for every 5 levels they gain. You can gain additional levels with the NewLevel Power. See POWERS INFO NEWLEVEL and PERKS for more information!

Note: Perks are not meant to be changed easily, you can only change them once every 30 months at no cost. Changing the first time during that 30 months will cost 150 million essence and subsequent times during that 30 months will cost 75 million essence.
