Contest Open Until January 13, 2018 - 00:01 PST

Welcome to my first event as an official God Colorist! This contest is meant to be a compromise between immediately offering customs and making sure y'all know what you can get from me.
I'm not the fanciest editor and I'm hesitant approaching most wings, but that doesn't mean we can't get a few more gods into the mix!

The god available in this contest is inspired by the old, original gods from the shop. Rather, that is where he is starting.. for more information, read on!

This is a Mystery God. We don't know what his domain is!

That is for you to decide!


Rules

  • Everybody can enter, but only one entry per person!
  • Entries may be edited until the deadline.
  • The domain you pick does not need to be preapproved!
  • Fill out the form completely!
  • CC is an acceptable option for both base & edits.
  • Play nice!

  • Special - Ascension concepts are welcome but still require 10 RPs.


If you win...

  • Modifications - Mr. Mystery will be updated to match your proposed concept! All colors and base designs can be changed completely and some additional editing may be done!
  • You will have to wait six months before you are eligible to obtain another god (except through breedings or gifts).

Entry Form

Reminder #1 - Read the form carefully.

Under 'edits' you are specifically told you may list minor, additional edits.
This is already the base of the god you are going to get.

I'm not saying I won't eat my words and change his basic features for an interesting concept,
but I am saying it's unlikely.

Suggest MORE edits to give him based on your proposed domain! Not changes to existing ones.

Suggestion #1 - Be creative.

Think about who Mr. Mystery is and could be.
If he can't be used for your existing concept, don't force it.

He is not a custom.

That is his face.

Apology

I know how hard it is not to treat every opportunity for a god as
the only chance you could ever have to get that long-quested concept ...

I'm just starting out and I wanted to do something more traditional SoA
instead of just focusing on custom raffles and breedings right away.

More opportunities will come.

For now, just try to have fun with what this is, not what you wish it was.

Entering for Mystery God
God's Name: Dooley
Meaning: Hero
Domain: Commitment
Existing Overlapping Domains: Love, loyalty, Fidelity, devotion, faithfulness
Definition: .
The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.

Relevance: Lots of SOA are comitted to other soa, goals, causes etc

Character Relevance : When Dooley met Kaelyn, his commitment to her became his place in the world. Even though she left him he tracked her down and made sure she was eventually his. He has always been committed to his best friend Wessex and has always protected her. See RP’s.

Description: see image below, ascension of my lion Dooley. Can his wings remain white but odd feathers be tipped with the browns on his body (or maybe flecked like his body?). Any gems etc should be blue to match his eye colour.
Dooley
Dooley Juve
Dooley Adol
Dooley & Wessex babies
Wessex - just for reference on who Wessex is XD
Edits: I’d like him to be smiley / happy (this is just a suggestion as his expression is awesome). See his previous edited modified image. Extra items : strand of hair from Kaelyn’s tail (as a locket maybe?), or can his diamonds be changed to little suns/a single sun in the middle on his necklace? (This is in reference to the ‘necklace’ marking on Kaelyn. Baby tooth from Wessex (earring), vial of sand (from the firekin maybe in place of one of the feathers on his arm bag), double braids in his mane (for the stormborn, Dooley trains young cubs how to protect themselves), something CC to represent each of his cubs Dooley & Kaelyn’s cubs - these are all things he has been committed to whole heartedly in his life time.

Entering for Mystery God
God's Name: Kuibia
Meaning: 'pillager'

Domain: Pillaging ;;
Existing Overlapping Domains: Thieves, Chaos, Conflict, Conquest, Destruction, Injustice, Outlaws, Villainy, War
Definition: To rob or steal using violence, generally in a time of war or conflict.
Relevance: With many prides or groups coming into contact, pillaging is bound to happen. Many times in nature, one group will violently take from another. An example would be the frequent pillaging hyenas do of, say, a cheetah's kill.

Description: I like how he looks. o uo Maybe just a darker wing color
Edits: I can't think of anything specifically right now! ;; Maybe some bone trinkets/trinkets in general *is the worst*

I hope I'm okay to enter ;;

Entering for Mystery God
God's Name: TBD
Meaning: N/A

Domain: Spoils - Approval
Existing Overlapping Domains: Crafting, Conquest, Greed, Trade, Victory, War, and Warriors
Definition: Spoils - goods stolen or taken forcibly from a person or place
Relevance: There are many prides and even individuals that focus on gathering up the visible proof of their victories. Whether it's gems, teeth, bones, pelts, precious metals, sea shells, or the rare man-made item like fabric, everyone's definition of what they consider a trophy can change, but the act of getting that trinket by some means of force doesn't. A head-to-head competition, a sneak attack, or even slipping into someone's land and stealing all qualify to gain spoils. These are treasures won by someone's prowess and, while it's not always a good connotation, you can't deny seeing someone walk by decorated in visual proof of their accomplishments is impressive.

Description: An ascension of my lion, Vidar.
Edits: Additional bangles, bracelets, dangly things in his mane/tail, decorations, pelts, whatever you want to add to make him look like his den is a pile of 'treasure'. The only thing I specifically request would be the beaded tooth decoration in his current mane to be placed somewhere on him, whether it's in his mane, tail, hanging from the bag, etc.

Entering for Mystery God
God's Name: Mkaidi'Wandamu
Meaning: Roughly it equates to 'Bully Mortal' which is a shorter form for 'Bully of Mortals'

Domain: Bullying
Existing Overlapping Domains: Friendship (Polar?), Injustice, Chauvinism, Rogues, Impatience, Rage, Bruises, Blood, Chaos, Deception, Trickery, Death, Conscience, Envy, Egotism, Love, Mischief, Predators, Heroes, Warriors, War, The Mind, Evolution, Villainy, Greed, Wrath, Lust, Vengeance, The Unwanted, Vigilantes, Distrust, Fear, Ambition, Apathy, Conflict, Contradictions, Denial, Hate, Frustration, Hypocrisy
Definition: This Domain is essentially the Domain of Bullies big and small, those that enact horrible treatment of others, those who do it because of their confusion of how to process their emotions and feelings in a productive way and simply those doing it as a means of survival.
Relevance: Bullying exists in the animal world as a whole, whether it's pushing those out of other's territories or nests for their own young, pushing out older males so younger ones can have females and ofcourse since SoA animals are 'sentient' in the way that SoA are - ofcourse there is probably going to be bullying in the more human sense.
Cubs picking on each other because of differences, girls/boys picking on people they have crushes on because have NO IDEA how to handle these rampant emotions, lions picking on other lions to dissuade them from certain roles or important jobs in prides so they can have it.
And I see this God not only being the terrible devil on the shoulder, like; 'Yeah go on do it' but also as a sort of 'warning sign' - Bullying's important for some aspect of survival but it's also an important hurdle to overcome for survival, sticking up for yourself against stronger people who are going to put you down is an important lesson.
So Bullying/Bullies being parting of the world makes sense to me.

Description: He honestly looks perfect the way he is, I honestly built the domain concept idea OFF of his appearance.
Edits: I can see him being maybe a bit more cocky looking and maybe a bit more scruffy? But other than that I think he looks great!

Entering for Mystery God
God's Name:
Meaning:

Domain: Charisma
Existing Overlapping Domains: Leadership, Inspiration, Chivalry (kind of? Charisma can present itself a bit like it, though at heart they're not really similar)), Civility (same as chivalry). Popularity
Definition: Charisma: compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.
Relevance: Charisma is an important trait for anyone who wishes to hold a significant or powerful position, particularly in a public or directly leading role. It doesn't make someone a good leader, but it allows them to command a crowd's attention and to an extent their hearts. It's found in leaders and in wandering rogues, and just about anyone who seems to possess an air that draws others in regardless of - and sometimes in spite of their actual personality.

Description: I like his overall look fairly well, though I would suggest changing his colors to something more eye-catching and attention-grabby instead of the low-key naturals he has now. I'd also request grey eyes.
Edits: Nothing I can think of, really? I admit I'm not very elaborate in design ideas.

How many gods do you own? Zero.

Meaning: No meaning, it's the name of a fictional village.

Domain: Brotherhood - Approval just in case!
Existing Overlapping Domains: Loyality (Overlap), Friendship (Overlap), Family (Parent)
Definition: The relationship between brothers.
Relevance:
Blood isn't always thicker than water. Depending on where a SoA is raised and by whom, they can regard anyone as their 'brother'. Whether this is forged in battle, or by blood, the relationship is a very special one.

Description:
- Fur Colour: White with some very soft blue (varying shades) dapples around the rump.
- Mane/Tail Tuft: Dark Blue or Navy
- Accessory Colours/Tweaks: CC!

Overall he's meant to be a complete ball of fluff, think of a fat/tubby cat and that's him once he ascends.

Edits:
Some little jewels and flowers around his paws, possibly tumbling from his pouch.

Ascension: Yes (Tethys)

Existing Overlapping Domains: Connections, Legacies, Memories, Rememberance,

God's Name: Uhambo
Meaning: Journey (Zulu)

Domain: Travelers
Existing Overlapping Domains: the Home (polar), Hospitality (overlap), Identity (overlap), Messengers (overlap), Navigation (overlap), Wanderlust (overlap)
Definition: A person or persons who are moving from one location to another, whether part of a migratory pattern, a one-time journey, or any kind of venture leaving their home.
Relevance: SoA travel all the time: hunting, migrations, being kicked out of their homes, visiting distant relatives, etc. It's only natural that they would pray to the God of Travelers for safety and protection on their journey.

Description: I like his colors and markings! Simplicity is a virtue, especially if you spend your life traveling!
Edits: Can we take off the big necklace and maybe add another bag or two for his journey supplies?

Entering for Mystery God
God's Name: Vigo
Meaning: adaptation of an actor's name

Domain: Repentance
Existing Overlapping Domains: Penance - this is the biggest overlap, but penance involves punishment specifically, and can potentially completely exclude repentance, since attitude doesn't play into penance. Penance is generally an enforced penalty.
Next Closest Domains: Sin, Temptation, Virtue, The Past, Memories, The Mind, Wisdom, Negative Emotions, Healing, Honor, Hope, Judgment, Karma, Hypocrisy, Peace, Salvation, Support
Definition: Remorse over past wrong-doings and changing one's actions to avoid repeating them.
Relevance: It is a basic part of morality and emotional health. Who wouldn't like some help, support, and reassurance when struggling with changing one's life from doing bad things to doing good things instead?

Description: (Living) Ascension of Vigo'tamort, CC on how to transfer his appearance.
Edits: A ponytail or tuft of hair pulled into something that matches the rest of his ornaments?

Meaning: Form of Denali which means "Great One"

Domain: Consequence (On the Approved list already)
Existing Overlapping Domains: Teaching, Betrayal, Choices, Denial, Truth

The colors blue, green and red (thing sapphire, emerald, ruby) all to represent his first litter's eye color, (the fourth if unable to be removed, can be a random color).

Domain: Valleys
Existing Overlapping Domains: Earth, dirt and some related/similar ones are: caves, swamps, volcanoes, deserts, mountains, the savannah
Definition: A low area of land between hills or mountains, typically with a river or stream flowing through it.
Relevance: Much like the above listed domains, SoA may make their homes in valleys, hunt there or simply traverse through them. Example: y'all ever heard of the Great Rift Valley ?? (of course you have bc SoA is set near it)
