Name: Artimaeus
Vessel: A staff with a bowstring wrapped around the top. A strong enough person might be able to turn it into a bow again. Otherwise, it's a fancy walking-stick.

Name: Joseph
Gender: Male
Background: An outdoors-man/camper type who found a cool walking stick.
Ability: Pyrokinesis, pyropathy, and pyromancy. Basically, he can summon and shape fire, and even grant it life. After all, fire already fulfills most of the requirements for life...

Edited mine for detail, probably going to add more later.

Thing is Deathpigeon the story doesn't really add up. A major phone company just 'found' how to transfer a god from one item to another, and had a god already, then some how it got placed into mass circulation? There is alot wrong with that premiss, I'm not even sure if there is a way to rewrite that so its acceptable, especially if you plan on playing a mentally damaged human.

Bosolai, ok I will allow it. However I decide if, and when your abilities evolve beyond their slow limited begining.

FF, well I'm abit iffy on the ability, but I decided to approve the profile

Newb, you cant bring fire to life but all things considered I'm ok with pyrokenisis. Though your gonna have to give guidelines on its limits

Emong, I'm not gonna deny the background as its not a big deal. But there isn't a ritual to become possessed, you just touch the item and it happens.

Now that I'm done with that. This thing is more popular then I originally thoughts. So I expect all profiles to be in by tomorrow afternoon, then I'm gonna close sign-ups. Place holders will only last another 24 hours after that. If you take longer then I'm gonna assume your no longer interested in playing

I was thinking along the lines of no matter what the actual method is every cult have no doubt devised their own overly complex ritual for it.

Name: Tay
Vessel: A large, plain-seeming diary.

Name: Johnathan Weiss
Gender: Male
Age: 32

Background: Johnathan Weiss was a chemist and damn good at it. His discoveries won him much prestige, and he had nearly won a Nobel Peace Prize on three separate accounts. On top of that, he was also a great husband and loving father, a friendly neighbor, and a good man. He had his father to thank for good upbringing, but when his father died during his teenage years, he looked up to one of his father's closest friends, William "Tay" Grieves. The man had the uncanny ability to give hope or inspiration whenever he spoke, which made him an excellent father figure. Johnathan would easily admit that Tay made him who he is today, especially now that he's giving him his most prized possession on his deathbed. As Mr. Grieves passed away, Johnathan was overwhelmed with the spirit he understood to be his good friend Tay.

Ability: While Tay gave Mr. Grieves the power of motivation and inspiration, he unlocks the power of alchemical transmutation in Johnathan Weiss. The rate of the transmutation is inversely proportional to the complexity. Where Johnathan could transform a handful of lead to gold in a matter of seconds, chunk the size of his head would take 30 seconds to a minute, and a large slab would take several. If he wanted to transform all the steel in a factory into uranium 237, the process might take several years.

Edit: Alright here we go.

God
Name: Lord Brance Ulgoth
Vessel: A medieval steel gauntlet (right-handed). It is less of the smooth edged and polished variety and more of the spiked, face tearing kind but not overly so.

Host
Name: Samuel Clines
Gender: Male
Background: Samuel was once a museum curator specializing in medieval armor and weaponry. He was fascinated by armor especially and loved trying on various pieces to see how they fit and felt while moving. He would often wear a particular piece all day while setting up an exhibit to "get a feel for it", as he said.

While sorting a new shipment he saw the gauntlet but couldn't find it's match. He also noticed that it was inscribed with the title and name, Lord Brance Ulgoth. Deciding to try it on he found to his surprise that it fit as if it had been made for him and he wore all that day. As often happened he was the last one to leave the museum and when it came time he found he didn't want to leave the gauntlet behind. Instead he slipped it into a slightly worn plain leather carry-all that an intern had left behind and headed home.

From there it took very little time for the god to assert complete control over Samuel's mind. Within three months Samuel had stopped going to work and had completely alienated himself from his family and friends. During his descent Samuel assumed correctly that he was being possessed and thought that it must be whoever this Lord was whose name was on the item. However, beyond a failed attempt at trying to convince a priest to exorcise him, he little idea or time to do anything about it. Lacking memories, the god took a cue from his host and assumed this name for himself but he still uses the hosts name with most people as it is less conspicuous. He also carries the bag with the gauntlet in it with most everywhere he goes.
Ability: Empathy and Persuasion. Given time, Lord Brance can "bring you around to his point of view" so to speak. Once he has done this he can then convince you to do all manner of things.

This is not without limitations however. Foremost a person has to be capable of feeling compassion and relatively unused to suppressing it more than a little. The less compassionate the harder it is. As well, both are directly proportional to what he is trying to convince them of or to do. However, if he is able to get them to empathize with him usually any preconceived notions they have mostly fall away and there is very little they won't do.

Bosolai, change distance to mass, you have to touch it to change it.

seeker your fine.

ok guys I am waiting for something before I start, but one way or another it will start by tomorrow

Alright, changed. Didn't include the word mass in there, as mass is already implied in rate of transmutation (chemical reactions are usually in mass/time).

sorry, I know its not much to go off of, but this is my plan B since A didn't pan out, long story. Anyways, atleast this will give me a good idea of how many players are actually active

so, have fun

Yay! I've looking forward to this rp. Its gonna be fun, if the quality (awesome) of the concept is any indication.
