Doesn't that risk like, polluting the thaumusphere? Or do gods not have any effect on their domains if they change?
It may not really do anything.

He may become enlightened and that may alter how he interacts with his domain but other than that I don't see having a Lantern ring of any color affecting a gods domain.Doesn't that risk like, polluting the thaumusphere? Or do gods not have any effect on their domains if they change?
Though on the other hand, something like a Red Ring may be rather distracting at best, for a god with a completely unrelated domain like Wealth.He may become enlightened and that may alter how he interacts with his domain but other than that I don't see having a Lantern ring of any color affecting a gods domain.
And previously, when the off-planet post-Olympians were killed, their domains kept on ticking just fine without them.
Just a reminder that Hermes is also the god of thieves and the guy who takes souls to where they can catch a ride across the river styx.
Considering Paul's track record, for a moment I though "is he going to pile that onto the poor Constantine as well?".
"That would be kinda awkward to say. But it would work. And Zauriel said that he could talk to his king about sponsoring me, but he'd need permission because that's not something his ordered really covered."
"I will ask her on your behalf, but I do not know. Is there no one else you could ask?"
Shaaam?"
William chuckles. "That would be kinda awkward to say
"orders"
Does he have the power for something like that? No disrespect intended to Zauriel, but he's not drawing power from multiple titans, and while you're certainly a good person I'm not sure you're a saint."
Mister Miracle said that a Mother Box could handle my transformation. It wouldn't give me any extra power, but it could let me change." He takes a deep breath. "But he doesn't have a spare one, and the only person who can make me one in Himon, and he's on Apokolips."
Jebediah convinced your existing sponsors to work together to empower you. One of them was a serial rapist, and another once tried to cut a baby in half to solve an argument."
Say what? Also, on an unrelated matter, Herakles is an evil man who at the very least deserves whatever's happened to him, though I have no idea what that is."
. I am sure that Adom would take my place, though."
William's smile fades. "Yeah, let's… Let's make sure that doesn't happen."
I can hold my tongue when I must."
"That's not what The Key says
Do not make jokes like that around my sister. She would not respond well."
You do not disobey the Goddess of the Earth."
"Not if you've got any sense, and I have at least that much
Id like to note Zeus has a bastard daughter running around.....not doing anything.
Thank you, corrected.
She's going to Middle School. No War Godding for you, young lady!Id like to note Zeus has a bastard daughter running around.....not doing anything.
I would go for Tyr. God of war, Justice (and single combat?) I know that at least him would be a better choice than a warmonger Ares. Also: Hephaestean may be able to create a fancy mechanical arm for him as a incentive.
So, things went.. okay with the Wizard, then. No doubt old Jeb is scrambling to find a suitable replacement, though Susano-o-no-mikoto's assistance will probably be given due consideration.28th October 2012

"Recognized, Captain Marvel, One Five, Osiris, B One Nine."
I do one last scan of the machinery in Red Tornado's Granny Annexe.. loft, then dismiss my construct and fly down through the hole in the floor. William is still Captain Marvel shaped, but he looks a bit more upbeat.
...And next time you need to transform? What then?"Captain, what news?"
"Oh, everyone had a ton of ideas! The Wizard can trigger my transformation himself if I go back to the Rock of Eternity, so I don't have to worry about school tomorrow."
We can but hope Jeb takes the offer. Probably the best he'll get, even if it's a bit further afield than his original mix.I nod. Impractical for regular use, but an excellent backup.
"And then a Japanese god showed up and said he could take over from Zeus."
Ah, those stately manners again."Susano-o-no-Mikoto."
"You sent him? He just said that 'a certain person' did."
Good to see they've been busy investigating other arrangements."That's how he talks."
"Huh. Weird. Oh, and after we left Osiris remembered that Angelica was the one who got the Wizard to power up Adom using Khandaqi gods. She says that she could link me up with any god-. Ah, or god-like being who wanted to give me their power, including the Khandaqi gods."
...Doesn't really have the right ring to it... It sounds like you hiccuped in the middle.
Maybe he'd get a little promotion to accommodate the necessary power?William chuckles. "That would be kinda awkward to say. But it would work. And Zauriel said that he could talk to his king about sponsoring me, but he'd need permission because that's not something his ordered really covered."
"Does he have the power for something like that? No disrespect intended to Zauriel, but he's not drawing power from multiple titans, and while you're certainly a good person I'm not sure you're a saint."
Because the Silver City's aid probably comes with strings attached.He shrugs modestly. "I'm not either. But I am a Christian, so… Honestly? I'd feel more comfortable about getting power from Heaven than someplace else."
"I… Did say that I'd bury the hatchet with Zauriel, so if that's really what you want, go for it. But were there any other options?"
Yeah, not something you want to go poking your nose into, unless you want it getting cut off. The Forever people were one thing. Himon is significantly more valuable."Mister Miracle said that a Mother Box could handle my transformation. It wouldn't give me any extra power, but it could let me change." He takes a deep breath. "But he doesn't have a spare one, and the only person who can make me one in Himon, and he's on Apokolips."
I wince.
Quite the exciting fellow, once you get past the ingrained politeness."Normally I like automation, but in this case I suggest one of the solutions that doesn't involve going to Apokolips."
"That's what I thought. So, what's with Susano-o-no-Mikoto?"
It'd only really be visible to magic-types, though? Unless there was a costume change included."His pantheon expands by convincing newly emergent gods to join it. He told me that he thinks you'd be good advertising."
"So it's like wearing a sponsor's name on my shirt? I don't know if the Wizard will like that."
I doubt he's contributing the whole of his might, honestly."Jebediah convinced your existing sponsors to work together to empower you. One of them was a serial rapist, and another once tried to cut a baby in half to solve an argument."
"Um. Better I have Herakles's strength than he does, right?"
To be fair, it doesn't really tell OL anything."Is that how it-" William clamps his right hand over his mouth. "-works?"
"Can.. you.. pretend I didn't say that?"
Let him know you and the juniors might be unavailable for a few days or weeks, depending on how quickly Jeb can negotiate?"Say what? Also, on an unrelated matter, Herakles is an evil man who at the very least deserves whatever's happened to him, though I have no idea what that is."
"Okay. Thanks." He nods, then takes a step back. "I'm gunna go check in with Batman, then I need to get back to the Wizard to get transformed for school tomorrow. "
Given they'll be affected just as much as you are, probably a good idea."Are you just going to do that every time?"
"No, but this is something I need to think about real hard, and I should probably talk to people. Including Mary and Freddie."
I'm guessing he was unfailingly polite. But if looks could kill...I nod. "Very wise. I'll see you when I see you."
He turns to Amon. "Thanks for your help, Osiris. And thanks for keeping cool around the Wizard. I know how angry he makes you."
In other words, don't push your luck too hard."Captain, you are my friend and the friend of my brother. I will bite my tongue around the Wizard a hundred times if you need me to."
William smiles. "But a hundred and one is one too many?"
...I'm not sure the Rock of Eternity would survive that little shouting match."Oh, no. If you need me a hundred and one times then it is taking me away from my studies more than my sister and brother will allow. I am sure that Adom would take my place, though."
William's smile fades. "Yeah, let's… Let's make sure that doesn't happen."
Let's hope it gets sorted out soon. I doubt Billy will have the luxury of running off to the Rock every time someone starts shit in Fawcett City.Amon nods. "I am glad that we both value education so highly."
"That too." He rises of the ground and flies back towards the zeta tube. "Be seeing you!"
Seriously. I bet Jeb had a prickling feeling at the back of his neck the whole time."Recognized, Captain Marvel, One Five."
"I would like to add my congratulations to those of Captain Marvel."
...ooof. Too soon, OL. Also so, so wrong."I can hold my tongue when I must."
"That's not what The Key says."
I suspect the integrity of his armour's cup would be sorely tested, for a start.For an instant he looks shocked, then he makes an amused exhalation and shakes his head. "Do not make jokes like that around my sister. She would not respond well."
"Speaking of your sister, do you think she'd be willing to take a trip to Brazil? Gaea suggested that I make time to speak with Euanthe, and-."
Which would shock some of the league, I bet."You do not disobey the Goddess of the Earth."
"Not if you've got any sense, and I have at least that much."
As if. We all know how much OL hates other people playing with his stuff."That is not what Wonder Woman says."
"Ou-ch. Blooming leave her in Tartarus next time."
Anhur or Montu, perhaps. I doubt either get much attention these days, and the former already moved from Nubia. What's one more relocation for work?"No. You wouldn't."
"No, I wouldn't. Ah, I don't suppose that the Kahndaqi pantheon has any spare war-related gods, does it?"
Though it might get confusing if their worshippers went to war."Ah, there is Sekhmet? But I do not think that she is 'spare'?"
"Gods can be worshipped by more than one pantheon."
Even if the position is only needed because of tradition...He frowns interrogatively. "Why are you asking?"
"Hephaestaean and I are having trouble filling up his cabinet. We need a war god, and none of the related Greek gods are interested."
Surprised Amon let that go without comment.
And if she's not interested, she could maybe point him in the direction of one of her juniors. Also, Eris went and got drunk in celebration at the sheer chaos OL caused? Of course she did."Are there no other Greek gods who could-?"
"Kratos is running a gym, Hippolyta is too peaceful, Enyo likes being a punk musician and told me to fuck myself with a cricket bat, Nike doesn't want to be tied to war that strongly, Athena doesn't want that part of the war portfolio and Eris hasn't sobered up enough to ask."
"I will ask her on your behalf, but I do not know. Is there no one else you could ask?"
Similar idea what about Kronos's daughter Devastation?Id like to note Zeus has a bastard daughter running around.....not doing anything.
Because the Silver City's aid probably comes with strings attached.
Quite the exciting fellow, once you get past the ingrained politeness.
Though it might get confusing if their worshippers went to war.
Out of the most well-know pantheons left, there's the Roman, which Hephaestaean might reject because of double-dipping, or maybe the Norse. And certain signs point to at least one god considering a transfer, perhaps? I'm sure we'll see soon enough. Perhaps Odin might be willing to arrange a mutual defence pact or something as payment for the services of an Aesir
And LePaul already forgets that the Silver City effortlessly spanked him..."Does he have the power for something like that? No disrespect intended to Zauriel, but he's not drawing power from multiple titans, and while you're certainly a good person I'm not sure you're a saint."
And Hera was much much worse yet you forgave her in seconds."Say what? Also, on an unrelated matter, Herakles is an evil man who at the very least deserves whatever's happened to him, though I have no idea what that is."
