what's next?

A god has fallen. They must fight to take his place.. Who deserves to win?

 

That's basically it; who do you think should win and why?

YOu should already know my first answer if you are a regular on the bord, so I'll skip that one.

Second choice is torch bearer, why? Because if memory serves me correctly than he is the only demigod who lost not just one but 3 loved ones that were not taken by his own hands(real mother, real father, and the girl he liked.) Betrayed by the man who raised him and tried to burn him alive because of a future he had no knowledge of. Also he has the second best quotes in the game.

 

Third has to be oak hands down. One of the actual demigods who seems to live by honor and will not senselessly massacre anything (the players are making him kill creeps, so its not his fault.) Plus he stood at attention for 900 years....now that's loyalty.

TB all the way. He wanted revenge, he got it. He moved on. That's a logical psychopath.

I was typing this earlier, but it stuffed up, so I had to retype it; please excuse any oddities.

These are my honest thoughts about each of the original eight demigods (from dark to light randomly);

1. I feel Unclean Beast is too much of a mindless slayer for me, personally. You could put him as a war-god, sure, or a god to beasts and creatures. That would work, but I just don't think a monster like that deserves the mantle.  2. I'm a mixed bag over Queen of Thorns. She's obviously not a goddess of love or passion, considering everything that touches her dies and I don't think she liked being groped by that man. I could really imagine her as a goddess though; I think she would work, but at the same time....I don't know. See what I mean? I don't fault her for being partially naked; that's just her racial quality. Apart from unknown reasons, she'd be one of my favourites.  3. Torch Bearer is really evil, but I liked how when you beat a tournament as him it says he'll become a god of reconciliation and peace. I like the sounds of that, and his whole revenge story would really fit an ascension to divinity. Another of my favourites. 4. Lord Erebus would be too much of a pleasure-stalker to make an effective god in my opinion. Sure he hates himself for draining people dry, if you read his bio, but he still enjoys it. I can't imagine what he would be as a god, sadly. He doesn't seem to fit into any specific role, at least not enough for me. A vampire god that is focused primarily on blood and stuff, sorta like a less insane Khorne, doesn't seem to do good when considering the stuff behind the other gods.

5. Sedna would be good as a spiritual god that speciliazes in healing stuff and harmony. Other minor unrelated things, like fertility and stuff (strangely) could do well too. As much as I hate Sedna in game, she leans closer to a god than most of the others. 6. Good old Regulus is perfect as an avenger god, and easily my favourite for godly material (and no I rarely play him). Vengenace is his thing, not quite as much as TB's but still strong, and has various other justly things going to. A divine and justice-based avenger god is better than a revenge-driven dark retributor in my opinion. 7. Oak is just awesome. Let's leave it at that; my second favourite behind Regulus.  8. Even though he is my honest favourite when playing the game, sadly, Rook isn't as godly material as Regulus, Oak or Torch Bearer. Despite this, he'd still be pretty cool as a god of machines/building, evolution, and stuff like that. If you think about it, he does sorta represent evolution in the way that when you say he can be a god of building, he is moving the world forward into greater things. That's my take.

*I enclosed four demigods per paragraph to reduce the size of this post*

Thos are my opinions; Regulus, Oak, Torch Bearer, Sedna, Queen of Thorns, Rook, Erebus and Unclean Beast.

If I went by my actual favourites and what I think would be coolest....

1. Rook. 2. Erebus. 3. Queen of Thorns. 4. Oak. 5. Unclean Beast. 6. Torch Bearer. 7. Regulus. 8. Sedna. Wildly different.

Very good topic idea by the way synn!

End of aNaRcHiSt44's quote

I get where you are coming for but their are a few problems with how you went about it lets start with the biggest one; Lord ereubus.

You said lord Erebus is too much of a pleasure stalker, but yet if you look at greek mythology; Zeus the god that reigns over all is a nymphomaniac. He would take any form even that of animals to have sex with a woman. If what I found was the correct version of this mythology than; poseidon who was the god of the sea. Raped the most beautiful women with in a Athena temple, who later on got turned into medusa because of it by Athena.

Unclean beast: While I agree with part of what you said, I don't agree with the reason. My man problem with UB becoming a god is because he is being controlled by the book after all. SSo who ever the book gives the power to control UB to basical controls a god.

Queen of Thorns: Every female goddess does not have to be a goddess of love, passion, or fertility. The state she is in right now can easily make her considered mother nature. She could also be the goddess of lust and/or temptation; what men want but could never have.

Sedna: We must remember not every god is good, so because she holds pure quality doesn't make her the perfect candidate for a god. Remember these gods don't interact with the other world, and the one that did is now trapped in prison.

Tb: wait what....their are actually endings for beating tournment?

Yeah I know what you mean synnworld, but I was just saying in my opinion, and plus no matter how much I love greek mythology, that doesn't necessarily make it 'right' that a god should be a god that runs around raping people. What I said about saying Queen of Thorns is obviously not a goddess of love/passion is because people would look at her and immediately think that; that's why I said it. She's half nude, so in most people's mind she'd just be an evil goddess that is devoted to something skanky, but like I said, that's obviously not going to be the case. If you thought I was conforming to stereotypes, please think again; I absolutely hate stuff like that, and prejudices :')

Back to Erebus, again, I love greek mythology, but this is about gods being made, not born into the role. Thus why I think the one who should be a god is not someone like Erebus, who would squander it on, again, pleasure. Sorry if I confused you or anything, just wanted to clear that up. Unclean Beast, I understand, but I still think a mindless killer doesn't deserve the mantle. I know not every god is good, but Sedna you can tell wouldn't go around doing whatever the hell she wanted or acting like a fool, which is a better reason to be a god than say (yet again) Erebus. Again, from what you say, and judging from Sedna's character, she'd more likely try to heal malice and pain throughout the world and thus get imprisoned too. That is definitely something to consider.

Ok actually they are all killers I mean they are in a tournment killing each other to become a god so even oak; the most honorable one out of the bunch is officially a killer to. About sedna actually she would go around doing whats she wants because is more of a free spirit. In honesty I would rather have lord Erebus as the god other than Sedna. Why Lord Erebus came from this dark past of pleasure while sedna came from this past of love and blissbasically, and as time changed Lord Erebus began to change with it; he became cultured and refine showing he held the ability for character growth. While all the other demigods either made no type of change at all, or had to have this major event in their life change them (Tb being betrayed, Qot being sexually assulted, Rook doesn't seem to change, Sedna doesn't seem to change, OC's crazy father, Regulus capture and being caged, oak doesn't seem to change, Demon Assassin doesn't seem to change, and UB doesn't seem to change.) Lord Erebus change came natural with time meaning he wasn't dependent on some outside factor to cause this change in him. I mean sedna was basicaly betrayed by her village and stabbed, but than just healed the dude who tried to kill her and left unchanged; I couldn't follow a god like that. That shows me that if she will forgive someone for trying to kill her than I wonder what she would do if she was but in QOT situation? Sila kill the dude; she say bad Sila and than heal him back up?

 

I may be wrong about this, but I don't remember zeus raping anyone. I may haven't reread up on my greek mythology, but I only rape I remember was in the mythology of medusa and it wasn't zeus who commited it; but instead it was his elder brother. What you said about queen of thorns actually shows one  of the problems with many people; judging a character simply by appearnces. I mean ya when I first got the game and learned the whole theme of the story; again what came to me was a darker version of mother nature, and not neccasarily some goddess of somethingy skanky. But if that was the case than damn it I am starting the church of queen of thorns tomorrow!

Uhh when I said 'raping someone' I meant Poseidon......"poseidon who was the god of the sea. Raped the most beautiful women with in a Athena temple" That's what I meant; sorry.

I know they are all killers, sorry I was just saying that Unclean Beast doesn't have any redeeming qualities about him for the killing, whereas say Oak tries to fight injustice, but that doesn't necessarily justify his killing; he just has a more 'just' backstory and thus we can see him as more of the innocent, and plus other reasons. I agree with the rest of the first paragraph by the way, but that still doesn't mean Erebus would deserve the mantle more than other gods in my opinion, and that's the thing; that's just what I think. It actually means something big if I prioritize Sedna other Erebus in that regard, because I absolutely despise Sedna with a passion. From memory I think Erebus changed because he found everyone else disgusting, so you could say it was an outside influence; that all the other vampires ticked him off, or maybe it was getting too much for him. Or, yes, he just naturally didn't want that stuff. He's a smart vampire though if he made a suit that constantly feeds him blood.

About Queen of Thorns, yes I know about the judge by appearances thing, but did I judge her a skank when I first saw her? No. But many people will do that, and think that way; I wasn't saying I believe that, I was saying many other people fall prey to appearances rather than truth. That goes off into racism and stuff, so everyone has to be careful with what they say (as always). Like I originally said, she wouldn't be a god of pleasure/love, but something else; whatever she wants to be, whatever she could be I guess. I don't really know what she should be, which is partly why I'm a mixed bag over her.

Good argument by the way, and sorry :D I know you love QoT.

Ya if he grew disgusted of it than it was smply a natural change. Take this for example if someone use to love to play pokemon or yugioh, but now really doesn't like it whether they grew out of it; or find it boring. It is a natural change that came with time. That's basically what happem to Lord Erebus. 

Yea poseiden is zeus and hades older brother, and raped the woman in Athena's templethat basically made Athena turn her into Medusa (Yep Athena is one of fthe guys, insted of getting posiedon she punishes the victem.)

Yeah don't worry I know greek mythology too, like say how Herakles is the actual name of the half-god hero, not the Latin 'Hercules' like some believe (they watch too much disney more than likely) lol j/ks. Yeah I was thinking Erebus had natural change too, but some people may take his backstory differently.
