"She said death, though I have to wonder if she did in fact mean eternal punishment. Either way, both sound horrible." She sighed and then her eyes lit up. "Could you take me to the Goddess's grove, you are the first God I have 'seen' in a long time. Surely, you could help me meet others?" she asked. Although Dusk was 114 years old and a Godess, she was still young compared to the 3 thousand or so year old Zues. She sighed openly and leaped into the water, as she did so. Her feet turned into fins and fins popped out of her arms and her back. She had become some sort of blueish mermaid. She waited for him to come...

ooc:// This is too much for me. Niamh is a daughter of Manannan. And, by the way, she's not a goddess of animals or an avenger of souls. She's a queen of Tir na nOg, the land of youth.

[I didn't choose the name Niamh because of the legend or whatnot, I've never even heard of it. Nor have I heard of Tir na nOg.]

ooc:// See, that's where you messed up. I take my religion seriously, and when you *censored*ume the name of a goddess I expect you to at least know what goddess it is that you play. It upsets me a little that anyone would go into a roleplay like this without doing any research. Especially considering that of all the pantheons to go for, you picked the one I worship from and you kind of botched it. Now I don't know if I'll be able to enjoy roleplaying with someone who obviously doesn't take this seriously as I do.

[Now I'm confused. In the first post you state that we can make an original character. And I did. Niamh is the name of my friend's friend from Ireland. I use Niamh for a bunch of different RPs, I also didn't know that there is a goddess named Niamh. I don't see why you're so mad at me.]

ooc:// Yes, original characters are allowed. But did you think to check whether or not the name you picked was already the name of deity whom for all you know is one I worship? I mean, I don't, of course. I study to be a priestess of Danu. But that's not the point. Using the name for a human without knowledge of its origin is fine. But going into a roleplay where people's religions and beliefs are played out, it would be wise to do some bachground research. I never go into a topic without knowing about it. Also, I never said I was mad. Just a little put off, because you're good at making stories, but not at thinking before you act.

ooc: I wish I could relate, but I was raised to be christian. Though I believe that the legends of the Greek myths are much more believable than the bible. I wish I lived in Greece...))

[I'm sorry I offended you. I didn't know that your religion was one that I was taking a name from. I've never role-played as a god before either, so I was just sort of winging it. And I admired the name Niamh, but it never occurred to me that there was a deity with the same name. I don't exactly understand religion, (I'm aethist/lutheran, sort of both), since I don't practice it. But if you want I can come up with another character and start afresh.]

ooc:// I know how you feel, Feyth. My parents are strict Seventh-day Adventist christians. You know, believing in the God of the Old Testament and the Savior of the New Testament, along with all the prophecies heralding His second coming and the coming of New Jerusalem. They had a fit when I left their faith. But it just wasn't right for me. I may be Welsh, but I live in Ohio. Not a lot of pagans here. It's about what feels right, though my friend thinks its funny that I know Celtic and Norse mythology as well as I know the Bible. It's pretty hilarious. Detneth: Or you could just pick a different name. Maybe even look up actual goddesses of animals, or goddesses of vengeance. Either would be cool. At least now you know, so that you can brag to your friend's friend that you know that her name comes from a goddess in a long line of sea deities.

[I'm lutheran, though no one in my family has ever been religious. We go to church for christmas and easter (I go to a Swedish Church, where Easter is a big event), but not much else. As for a new name, I already know that the Goddess of Vengeance (Or Divine Retribution) in the Greek Pantheon is Nemesis, but I don't wish to use that name. Here, let me start afresh with a new goddess. Give a few mintues to get the BIO done. :) ]

((I know Greek and Roman and Norse mythology, not big on Celtic, but when I grow up, I want to follow my faith to greece and study the pantheon.

ooc:// Awesome. Though you really should look into the theory I mentioned, that each pantheon has a ton of names for the same base gods. It's pretty interesting. ^-^
