New Feature Introducing The Araka - Godsblood NPCs and PCs

[Kaie]

Very cool! I'm excited to see how this plays out in future world plots and etc.

[Khida]

This sounds like it'll make things (more) interesting! Looking forward to seeing where and how the Araka get used.

[Markus Andres]

Would it be possible to be a child of Sylir(Glav Navik)? If the child was conceived before he achieved full godhood?

[Gossamer]

I'm not in favor of that at all for the simple reason that this skirts an existing rule for Arakas. Also, Glav was my NPC favorite for a long long time and if he had a child he'd stewart that child and keep that child close. He's not the type to be an absentee father.

[Lorden Ladis]

Hmm, well this, this does interest me. I've wondered for a bit of time how the blood of the gods diluted down their family lines. Additionally, the plug to the uniqueness of our PCs puts a smile on my face. A nod and a pat on the back, to anyone involved in the development of the Araka. ^.^

[Archailist]

How would Araka status apply to races that can't normally reproduce with other races.. e.g. Pycons, Akvatari?
Also, would Nuit be completely exempt from Araka status? Or could an Araka go through Daek-Nuit and retain their bloodlines?

[Ssezzkero]

Oh man, this is exciting!

Questions: If you meet all the requirements to become an Araka can you apply it to an already existing character and simply have explained them as unaware for the time already played, or do you have to make an alt?

Also, I'm assuming that the post count and seniority must be met on one account? collecting post count and time from alts is probably just taking a short cut, correct?

[Brandon Blackwing]

Oh gods! This is awesome! Exciting! Thrilling!

*steeples fingers*

So, I do have a question too: Are the grandchildren of Alvina also Araka, or are they normal humans/Akalak/whatever? How diluted may the divine blood be? I mean; at one point the person, although related to the Gods, will just be an ordinary mortal, right? Say, if you are of the seventh generation of children of Siku or so? Or even sooner?

[Yisanareysin]

Could every race potentially be an Araka? Most of the deities seem to tend towards humanish forms, so could the beastial races, like the dhani or the zith, potentially be descended from a typically humanoid appearing deity?

Would the children be, or appear to be, a pureblood of the race their mortal parents are?

And are there deities that would not have any children?

[Ball]

What about races like the Pycon? I mean we were at once a magical experiment...
