I think 6 is a good start, I barely handle 3 in my dnd campaign, couldn't handle everyone in the reboot A Journey of Awesomeness, and Tommia has a hard time keeping track of everyone in Stitia.
Just my thoughts though.
I can try to join, but my creative power is tapped right now as I am attempting to build a custom faction's mechanics whilst I flesh out a story AND also write a gigantic script.
Long ago, there was a family that lived alone in a secluded section of Hayt Forest. The father, Fen, was a skilled blacksmith, capable of imbuing magic in weapons, but many people turned away from him and his services. His wife, Mozu, was a notorious witch, said to take many forms, normally a black cat or a raven. Things were going well, until their son, Jin, became a Herald of Hope. Fen forged him a blade of Mythium, and Mozu imbued it with deadly magic. However, on his first trip back home, he was followed by a servant to one of the gods, who eventually attempted to kill him. When they failed, they plagued his parents, leading to Mozu's death.
As Mozu lie on her death bed, Jin asked her for her final wish. She grasped the blade until it cut into her skin, and she said "I wish for vengeance on the gods..."
With her dying breath, she imbued the blade with her very being. Little did Jin know her being's true nature...
As it turns out, Mozu was a shapeshifter. With her gift, she gave Jin her power. But such power came at a cost. Enter Satoshi, a samurai from Jalk, a thief, and a highly talented assassin. Rumors spread about the all powerful blade Jin wielded, capable of killing gods, stealing forms, and allowing the user to shapeshift at will. The leader of the thieves' guild he worked for ordered him to retrieve this blade, so he set out to claim it...
After mere days, Satoshi found Jin and killed him effortlessly, taking the blade as his own. However, Satoshi was folllowed. The leader of the guild was one of the gods themselves, and Satoshi quickly saw the error of his ways as the god attempted to kill him. Angered by deceit, he tried to fight the god, only to nearly die in the process. However, in a moment, he was imbued with the power of the blade. Transforming into a fickle form, he was able to escape, but...
Forever transformed by the power of the blade, Satoshi now lacks an identity, forever a shapeshifter. Unwilling to return to Jalk, he remains in Hayt Forest, and has since become a Herald of Hope himself. While Mozu is angered by Satoshi's killing, they have since bonded for a mutual purpose; vengeance against the gods.
Name: Satoshi Yoro
Race: Shapeshifter (Formerly Human)
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Strengths: Skilled in swordplay, trained assassin, decent at stealth, able to mimic anyone he's killed, some minor shapeshifting abilities
Weaknesses: The spirit of Mozu still has hold of Satoshi's power. While he can shapeshift, he has loose control over his powers. Unlike most shapeshifters, he has trouble shapeshifting into non-humanoid forms, unless he has killed the creature whose form he wants to take. In addition, shapeshifting frequently leaves him in a weakened state, unless he uses the power of the blade to shapeshift (into the form of a creature he has killed).
Wow. So I'm now looking back on this and thinking, "Huh. This is actually a really cool idea for a saga. Why did I not actually follow through with this? That was dumb of me." So I want to know if any of you would actually be interested in still doing this.
On an unrelated note, if new people want to join, they certainly can! Simply follow the character creation guidelines detailed in the saga description.
Sain
Name:Gingame
Race:Artificial
Strengths:Smart, optimistic
Weaknesses:Emotionless, loud, small
Abilities:Can rewire the dead to serve him as idiotic slaves
Gingame was made by Dr. Julius, but was abandoned after he summoned a horde of zombies to kill the scientist. He now makes locks for people, and other protective items. No one knows of his true nature, and no one will ever know.
Name: Solton
God of: Light
Colors: Red and White
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Description: Solton is a being nearly entirely made of light, and wields fiery "sun-spears" as favored weapons. He is known for bringing droughts and fires with him wherever he goes.
Name: Nekilon
God of: Madness
Colors: Black and Red
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Description: The subject of many cults, Nekilon encourages blood, sacrifice, and his followers going insane to please him. When he doesn't get enough sacrifices, he brings his wrath down and gets some carnage himself.
Name: Yilinos
God of: The sea, and the monsters within
Colors: Green and Blue
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Description: Cities who disappoint Yilinos, and many who don't, are overwhelmed with destructive tsunamis and enormous sea creatures. Ships must be extra careful, as Yilinos is prone to destroying seafaring vessels on a whim.
Name: Ralith
God of: Solidarity and Animals
Colors: Green and White
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Description: At first thought, you may think that a god of solidarity couldn't possibly be evil. Then you get attacked by hoards of beasts working in perfect harmony, and your mind is changed. Ralith is rarely seen without Tylin, his canine companion.
Name: Ultoth
God of: Death and Law
Colors: White and Black
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Description: If you break a law in his presence, he will punish you severely, usually by using the other thing he's the god of. He sometimes will see entire towns as unlawful, and unredeemable, and destroy them.
Name: Lagrhe (pronounced Lag-ree)
God of: Wilderness
Colors: Green and Red
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Description: Towering over even most gods, Laghre despises civilization, and as such is one of the most destructive gods. He protects nature, dispatching of those who would interfere with it.
Name: Surtith
God of: Trickery
Colors: Blue and Black
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Description: Surtith's form of destruction is more subtle than the other gods'. He can shapeshift to look like whoever he wants, and destroys mortal kingdoms from within. (@Tommia The godly leader of the thieves guild mentioned in your backstory was almost certainly Surtith.)
Name: Egrin
God of: The Sky
Colors: White and Blue
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Description: Egrin enjoys sending tornadoes or flocks of deadly birds to towns and cities that dissapoint her. She is one of the gods most often seen in the mortal realm, as she enjoys the wind in her feathers and the ability to seek out towns fit for punishment herself.
Name: Rohnix
God of: Plagues and the Underworld
Colors: Green and Black
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Description: While Ultoth is the god of death, Rohnix controls what happens after the fact. He occasionally feels the need for some more souls in the underworld, and sends terrible sickness to wrack parts of the world.
Name: Wyrin
God of: Storms
Colors: Blue and Red
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Description: On Wyrin's good days, he is relatively calm. However, when he's not in a good mood he relentlessly exerts his power over the mortal realm, causing devastating thunderstorms or storms of lava from an active volcano.
Alright, now you know what you're up against! Obviously you've got a long way to go before you can kill one of these guys, but that's the goal! Starting story should be up tomorrow, as I won't be able to get on my computer today.
Looks like I should at least be on equal footing, relatively speaking)
