EVENT 001.

The purpose of the island is to reunite all sacrifices and followers with the gods &/or goddesses that they have worshiped for as long as they can remember. They are provided a certain safety, a reassurance that they would be protected once they arrived there. So, what happens when the safety blanket is pulled right out from under them, just how far would they go for their deity? 

We’re about to find out. A magic based force has swept through the island like a thief in the night, taking all the Gods & Goddesses with it. They have been purged from the island, transporting them to their own personal cages, trapping them all together. They are exposed to a new kind of helplessness, a new suffering blossoming from the divine knowledge that for once, no matter how much they want to help what is theirs, they cannot. 

Their fate, and the fate of the island has been left in the hands of the sacrifices and the followers. They are responsible for finding a way, any way, to get their Gods and Goddesses back. The catch being, that they must work together - it’s a all or nothing sort of deal. You get them all back, or you get none of them back. 

So good luck darlings, let’s hope your willing to fight for your faith.

TASK 002.

The second task will work in tandem with the event. For followers &/or sacrifices, you have several options. They are as follows: You may write a letter, prayer, or ritual in which your muse is trying to contact their God &/or Goddess. Let us see their emotions, we want to feel feelings and maybe cry a little. You can also write a solo piece that gives us a look at them preforming the aforementioned ritual or prayer, depending on how saucy you like to get with it. As always, you have the creative freedom to kind of make this your own, but we wanted to give you a general base for the idea.

For the Gods &/or Goddesses, you should write something in reaction to the current situation. It can be an inner monologue that gives us insight into how they feel when they are forcibly separated from their sacrifices &/or followers, a letter in response to the separation, addressed to the sacrifice or follower, them attempting (in vain) to contact them, or answer their prayers but failing. Strife, angst, exhaustion, gimme that shit. 

DETAILS.

Event threads should be tagged as ‘DARKEVENTS.001′ and ‘DARKEVENTS’, Tasks should be tagged with ‘DARKNESS.002′ and ‘DARKTASKS’.

For clarification, during the event, sacrifices &/or followers may only interact on the dash with one another, they are unable to contact their own God &/or Goddess, nor anyone else’s. The same goes for Gods &/or Goddesses, they may only interact with one another during event threads. Participation in the event is mandatory - however the task is optional. 

We will be dropping hints throughout the week via the main on how to bring the Gods &/or Goddesses back to the island, so make sure you are paying attention to posts for clues however we will not be providing the exact method - so we do encourage you to work together to figure it out. 

ZANA HOLOVAČ  is searching the darkness for one of her younger siblings (sacrifice) and is a human. Someone said they were +positive trait, and a little -negative trait. They are sexuality, a preference who is into 2 kinks. 

zana has two younger siblings one brother & one sister so feel free to take your pick ! she is super super super protective of both of her siblings & LITERALLY sacrificed herself in hopes it would in turn benefit them. SO if they show up here, as a sacrifice she’s gonna be pissed. possibly the start of a tumultuous sibling relationship ? please & thank you ! preferable fcs are john boyega, keiynan lonsdale, keke palmer, ryan destiny, jordan fisher, kiersey clemons

ZANA HOLOVAČ is searching the darkness for nemesis- goddess of retribution. Someone said they were +positive trait, and a little -negative trait. They are sexuality, a dominant or switch who is into 2 kinks. 

zana really believed the odds were stacked up against her & other people in her life/situation, that arrogance left people taking advantage of the disadvantage. nemesis really was the goddess she worshipped the most, glad when people got their comeuppance. zana was sosossososoos close to sacrificing herself to nemesis on multiple occasions but when life kept getting shittier for her & her family she believed that going to chernobog would be the best choice. so this could go all sorts of ways & i’m BEGGIN you, yeah you, the one reading this. pls. 

ZANA HOLOVAČ is searching the darkness for a god or goddess her sibling(s) has or might possible sacrifice themselves for. Someone said they were +positive trait, and a little -negative trait. They are sexuality, a preference who is into 2 kinks.

spoiler alert, zana will hate hate hate, double hate, LOATHE entirely, whichever god/goddess this is. if her sibling is in play then she’ll outwardly be a real biatch to whichever god(dess) this is. aggravated that they got her sibling to lay down their life for them ( yes zana sacrificed herself to a god but only SHE is allowed to do that not her siblings ) if her sibling(s) are not in play then this would just be a god(dess) she has reason to believe would be able to tempt them into sacrificing & so she’ll be VERY wary of this individual & snappy to.

other random wanted connections could be gods, goddesses, sacrifices, any position:

i would love people she’s befriended. this girl is kinda all over the place so they’d probably have to be pretty patient. people she can joke around with & not be so annoying to.

people who can’t stand her. she would like to grind their gears a lot just to see them get all grumpy & stuff even though she’s being light hearted and doesn’t mind this person

-Tyr - norse god of war.

This can go a few different ways, in terms of intimacy. During her time as a Valkyrie, Eir chased after his trail of Wars. She didn’t always agree with his reasonings behind each and every one of them, but she didn’t speak her opinion either. Like her, she understood that he was bound because of what he was. This, in turn, caused a bit of a crush to blossom within her. It started as pity, then turned into the age old line of ‘he just needs someone to take care of him’. That line still stands today and, because of how often they had to meet on battlefields, he’s the next closest to her save for Frigg herself. It can be something akin to a brother/sister type of relationship. Maybe she looks to him as more than that, but he doesn’t. Or maybe they’ve come together a time or two in their past as a means for release - either way, Im down for it.

-Frigg - her queen

Not a sexually intimate connection for Eir, mostly because she looks up to the woman so much. Queen of the Norse Gods, Eir is one of her handmaidens and an almost mother-like figure to her. When she made the adjustment from Valkyrie to Goddess, it was Frigg who helped the transition, who helped her gain her footings, and helped her learn how to hear and answer prayers. To this day, Eir still serves her queen, and happily so. and to this day, she still turns to the Goddess for advice or wisdom.

-Valkyrie sister(s)

Kind of an easy one really - Back from when she was a Valkyrie, I’d like to see one or two on the island with her. I’ve always pictured their relationship to be very sisterly with bickering and fighting, but since they’re the only ones who have seen the aftermath of the wars, who have had to walk it and make choices, there’s a bond that can’t be recreated with anyone else. Eir, in my eyes, because she’s the softer of the group, has always been treated as the baby sister, in a way - and despite the fact that she’s no where near the youngest. She’s just always been a light for them.

-Any of the War gods.

Kinda sorta the same as above, but maybe minus the brother/sister aspect of things. She’s always held a fascination for the other religions gods and goddesses, specifically that of War. This can something as simple as them seeing her wandering the aftermath of their own battlefields just to see how it works after it’s over, i.e: do they have their own variations of Valkyries. Who chooses who goes and who stays. Where do they go when they’ve been chosen, etc. She’s curious and almost always seeking answers, so to have someone she that can answer them for her, in a different perspective, would be fab.

-Nature beings

Eir’s kinda big on the whole nature thing, specifically plants. Her medicines have always been plant based, so to have someone she can be friends with that knows about them would be good for her. It was said that she taught others, mainly women but i don’t think im sticking with that, the art of medicine, so it could be someone she’s been teaching that to. Or someone who already knows, and hangs around to help her grow them for herself - she knows how to work them, not necessarily how to grow and take care of them. Maybe a business partner.

Then there’s always the easy ones:

Past followers/sacrifices that have moved on

People she’s helped on the island - she quite literally will help anyone without a seconds thought.

like, I said, she’s pretty darn friendly, so she typically assumes she’s friends with everyone, doesn’t matter if they’ve met or not.

[ BILL SKARSGARD!!!! OR UTP ] | [ ANDRES WEBER ] is searching the darkness for a [ PARTNER IN CRIME ] and [ HUMAN ]. Someone said they were [+POSITIVE TRAIT], and a little [-NEGATIVE TRAIT]. They are [SEXUALITY], a [PREFERENCE] who is into [2 KINKS].

for a good two years andres was on a really intense downward spiral. reckless behavior, drugs, alcohol, sex, you name it ? he did it. this connection would be his good ole partner in crime. really this was andres’ emotional crutch that he leaned on in a crazy unhealthy toxic way that worked for the both of them no matter how wild it got. soon enough andres started to come to his senses and found his god, trying to dig himself out of the hole he’d dug himself into. at this point he severed ties with this person, cold turkey. just never talked to him again, oops. give me angst, give me drama. please i’m begging you. writer does not need to be contacted prior to applying

[UTP] | [ ANDRES WEBER ] is searching the darkness for a [ REGULAR CUSTOMER ] and [ HUMAN ]. Someone said they were [+POSITIVE TRAIT], and a little [-NEGATIVE TRAIT]. They are [SEXUALITY], a [PREFERENCE] who is into [2 KINKS]. 

andres set up a lil’ store front a bit after he got his gift, trying to help people reconnected with passed over loved ones. this individual was a regular at the shop, having a hard time letting go of one of their loved ones and andres was more than happy to help them heal. sometimes he wouldn’t even charge them, seeing them leave happier than they had arrived was what really mattered to andres. this was probably the closest thing andres had to a friend ( an acquaintance really ) writer does not need to be contacted prior to applying

[UTP] | [ ANDRES WEBER ] is searching the darkness for a [ CUSTOMER GONE WRONG ] and [ ANY TYPE OF SUPERNATURAL ]. Someone said they were [+POSITIVE TRAIT], and a little [-NEGATIVE TRAIT]. They are [SEXUALITY], a [PREFERENCE] who is into [2 KINKS]. 

[ ANGELINA JOLIE, KATE BECKINSALE, SANDRA BULLOCK, UTP ] | [ CHAD SAVAGE ] is searching the darkness for [ HIS GLORIOUS WIFE ] and [ GODDESS - ( Hera ) ]. Someone said they were [ +POSITIVE TRAIT ], and a little [ -NEGATIVE TRAIT ]. They are [ BISEXUAL, PANSEXUAL, UTP ], a [ DOMINANT OR SWITCH ] who is into [ 2 KINKS ].

I promise that these two will not be boring. They hate to love each other, I think. Zeus does love Hera, without a doubt - but he can’t help that other beings (sometimes literally) throw themselves at the king of the gods. I imagine there is a lot of bickering and arguments between them constantly, but it usually ends with them stripped and in an exhausted heap atop each other. We can sort something out that’s more specific, if you’d like.

[ BAE DOONA, JAMIE CLAYTON, ALFONSO HERRERA, SEAN TEALE, LAVERNE COX, ANY FC ] | [ CHAD SAVAGE ] is searching the darkness for [ A FOLLOWER OR SACRIFICE WHO WAS ONCE DEVOTED TO ANOTHER GOD ] and [ HUMAN OR SUPERNATURAL ]. Someone said they were [ +POSITIVE TRAIT ], and a little [ -NEGATIVE TRAIT ]. They are [ SEXUALITY UTP ], a [ SUBMISSIVE OR SWITCH ] who is into [ 2 KINKS ].

This person (or persons, if more are interested) was once a follower or sacrifice to another deity of any religion you’d like. Zeus is a charmer, and enjoys wooing others. It’s like a game he plays with himself to see how long it will take for them to bite. And they always bite. They could’ve been a person he set his sights on, and boy did they take his bait. They’ve been so infatuated they actually left their old god to be of service to Zeus. I imagine he’s lowkey annoyed by this person most of the time, but what they’ll do for their new god makes the pester worth enduring. Can be from any century, so feel free to get creative.

[ JAI COURTNEY, THEO JAMES, TOM HOLLAND, JOHN BOYEGA, UTP ] | [ CHAD SAVAGE ] is searching the darkness for [ HIS CUP BEARER / FOLLOWER ] and [ DEMI-GOD - (GANYMEDE) ]. Someone said they were [ +POSITIVE TRAIT ], and a little [ -NEGATIVE TRAIT ]. They are [ BISEXUAL, PANSEXUAL, UTP ], a [ SUBMISSIVE OR SWITCH ] who is into [ 2 KINKS ].

Alright, I’m going to start this off with a little disclaimer: there isn’t a whole hell of a lot on Chernobog, so Im taking some gotdamn creative freedoms with his connections. carry on.

 [ADRIK EGOROV] is searching the darkness for [BELOBOG] and [A GOD]. Someone said they were [+POSITIVE TRAIT], and a little [-NEGATIVE TRAIT]. They are [SEXUALITY], a [PREFERENCE] who is into [2 KINKS]. [NM/ALIAS | TIMEZONE | PRONOUNS]

Twin brother. The light to his darkness. The life to his death, good to his evil. You get the idea. At birth, their roles were distinguished based on attributes alone and because of this, Chernobog was labeled the cursed brother, the evil brother. But the relationship between the twins has never seemed to falter or strain. If anything, it grew stronger over the years. Adrik has been quite content to give his brother the spotlight and the credit - the White Knight to his Dark Knight, if you will.

[ADRIK EGOROV] is searching the darkness for [THE ZORYA] and [A GODDESS]. Someone said they were [+POSITIVE TRAIT], and a little [-NEGATIVE TRAIT]. They are [SEXUALITY], a [PREFERENCE] who is into [2 KINKS]. [NM/ALIAS | TIMEZONE | PRONOUNS]

Either of The Zorya, but he holds a special place in his heart(?) for Zorya Utrennjaja, The Morning Star. She is, in his eyes, exactly what he believes purity to be. Perfection. And, quite literally, the only thing in his life he feels the need to protect. It probably has something to do with the whole opposites attract phenomena, but as much as he is drawn to her, Adrik refuses to tough her out of fear of tarnishing what he believes to be one true source of good. Angst.

 [ADRIK EGOROV] is searching the darkness for [MARZANNA] and [A GODDESS]. Someone said they were [+POSITIVE TRAIT], and a little [-NEGATIVE TRAIT]. They are [SEXUALITY], a [PREFERENCE] who is into [2 KINKS]. [NM/ALIAS | TIMEZONE | PRONOUNS]

Any name, trait, sexuality, and FC below are merely suggestions, unless stated otherwise. All connections are up for discussion and tweaking.

A god he used to worship, and misses dearly. Anteros, Eros, or Himeros.

[ JAKE GYLLENHAAL, DEREK THELER, CAN YAMAN, JAI COURTNEY, RYAN GUZMAN, ANY FC ] | [ FIRST NAME, LAST NAME ] is searching the darkness for [ A DIETY HE FORMERLY WORSHIPPED ] and [ ANTEROS / EROS / HIMEROS ]. Someone said they were [ POSITIVE TRAIT ], and a little [ NEGATIVE TRAIT ]. They are [ SEXUALITY ], a [ DOMINANT / SWITCH ] who is into [ 2 KINKS ].

Matteo’s been a polytheist since a very young age. His grandmother was pagan and polytheistic, and would tell him various stories when he was little. Eir was one of his favorite gods, along with this deity. Matt had a classical view of love for the longest time, and used to thank this god for the gift of love regularly. If he had a new crush, he would pray to the god in conversation, and just talk about it. When he began to question his sexuality, he would often pray to be changed, or just for answers. Fear could’ve made him resentful, so he pretty much cut his connection with the deity as much as possible. Maybe he tried to pray and talk to the god after he became comfortable with his sexuality, but to no avail. He would be incredibly regretful and apologetic for abandoning them. If he isn’t forgiven, it’ll be devastating. This role can be any sexuality, because there doesn’t need to be a sexual connection between them -- I’m super up for it though, especially if he’s able to mend ties.

An ex turned nemesis. Human or Supernatural.

[ ANY FC 35+, IDRIS ELBA, ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD, DWAYNE JOHNSON ] | [ FIRST NAME, LAST NAME ] is searching the darkness for [ AN OLD FRIEND TURNED LOVER TURNED ENEMY ] and [ HUMAN OR SUPERNATURAL ]. Someone said they were [ POSITIVE TRAIT ], and a little [ NEGATIVE TRAIT ]. They are [ HOMOSEXUAL / BISEXUAL / PANSEXUAL ], a [ DOMINANT / SWITCH / SUBMISSIVE ] who is into [ 2 KINKS ].

It took a long time to figure out that he liked males, and even longer to tell himself it was okay. in his late teens/early 20′s there was this guy that he was completely infatuated with, and it made Matt uncomfortable. They would do little things like ‘accidentally’ touch, shifted to overt touches, and eventually spent time hidden in the woods together. It prob wasn’t cool for either of them to be openly affectionate with each other. This is the first male Matteo’s ever been with, so he would still have some kind of feeling for him. I’d say he absolutely doesn’t love him like so long ago, but there would be some kind of connection. If supernatural, he had no idea. We can discuss the fissure, and if anyone was at faullt.

New friends, casual fucks, antagonistic compatriots, etc.
