All dead 'cept earth. Whatever the mythos is, earth is winner.

Can anyone else see the face or is just me?

>>8156952
Could work off that, but the aim is to detail them.

Venus. The Bitch-Queen.

>>8156970

Oh wow. It looks like it's saying "nigga pleez" to >>8156952
for >implying it has no life forms.

>>8156970
>>8156989
Mars, god of WRYYYYYYY

>>8156970
You just made a reaction face out of a planet, how does that make you feel?

>>8157010
Pretty good, to be honest.

>>8156986
Oh yeah, definitely.

Pluto should be the pretender God.

Off the hip;
Mercury, Ruler of life and energy, cursed to burn all those that get close to him.

Venus, A once beautiful god brought down by her own greed. She is temperamental and relentless in her pursuit of wealth and fame. It is her gluttony that has caused her form not just be repulsive, but lethal to mortals that attempt to just approach her.
And even then they should not stay long.

Earth Mother is kind and benevelent. A long time arbiter of life itself, she once thought her early followers as to be too greedy and spun off a form of herself that she holds close, hostile to all life, as an example of what she could have been.

Jupiter is the boss, but he's kind of an arrogant douchebag sometimes. He's not BAD, just really full of himself. Saturn is his wife.

Earth is the smartest planet of them all, of course!

>>8157042
God-twin, with Charon.

Uranus is an asshole.

I name thee Sir Phobos, knight of Mars.

>>8157073
OH YOU.

Pluto is the Forgotten One. It's out for revenge, one of these days.
Jupiter is big and stupid. He looks tough, but Saturn is actually a lot nastier.
Uranus and Neptune are the freaky siblings. Nobody really talks to them, and there's a rumour that their relationship is a little closer than it should be ifyouknowwhatimean.
Mercury is bipolar. Though interesting to talk to some of the time, he's a pretty intense guy to be around. Only Venus has really got to know him. They're sort of the odd-couple. Venus being, after all, a completely poisonous bastard to everybody else - literally and figuratively. Venus is also a writer, and desperate to appear cultured and postmodern. That's why he started spinning backwards back in the early '90s.

Earth is Earth. I should think we know her pretty well. She's BFF with Mars, and they share gossip about the other planets a lot of the time, but they don't see each other as often as they should. Nobody but Earth knows that Mars is secretly sweet on Jupiter - she thinks he's kind, even if he is kinda dim.

Earth trolls Mars by threatening it with fleas.

>>8156970

Nah, more like this.

Mars, God of Sands and Rust, represents the passage of time. Was one of the eldest Gods, who's glories have long since faded, now cold jealous and bitter. Worshipped by both those longing for a return to a more Golden Age and those who wish to see the world buried beneath the dust of ages.

>>8157096

>>8157090
>Uranus and Neptune are the freaky siblings. Nobody really talks to them, and there's a rumour that their relationship is a little closer than it should be ifyouknowwhatimean.
Why does this remind me of those twins in Black Lagoon?

>>8157096
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>8157124
>>8157096
Oh, what hath my hands wrought.

Inb4 someone draws a haughty female face on Saturn with all her rings.

I guess Saturn and Jupiter could be God and Magog type figures. Big, but without a lot to them. Not sure what the rings would signify.

hurr

Some of Jupiter's bros are actually pretty cool. Europa is an awesome dude if you get to know him. He has hidden depths (pun intended).

But stay away from that crazy bastard Io.

HEY GUYS WHAT'S GOING ON?

>>8157239
Io is fucking awesome, it's Ganymede that's insane.

Contributing

I see a bad moon risin'

I see trouble on the way

>>8157289
>>8157239
What would these gods represent though? What would they have domain over? Their personalities need developing, but so do their roles in the pantheon.

Mars is not amused.

Pluto was once an accepted member of the pantheon, but after some sort of incident, he was banished to the Kupier Belt, with Neptune tasked to assure he never returns. Every so often, he manages to slip past Neptune and enter the world once more.

>>8156923
>Mars, the Bringer of War
I fucking love that song.

>>8157289
What're you talking about? Io is erupting ALL THE TIME. I don't know what he's so pissed about, and I'm not sure I want to.

earth would be the rpg stereotype 'chosen one' wouldn't it? the protagonist-deity that aligns all the other deities for the fight against the vile undead sun monster that threatens the entire solar system

(see, I'm contributing)

>>8157402
Generally he's quite the smooth operator which is why he can slip past neptune so well, but god help you if you make him mad.

beater of ass...be a hitter babe
>>8157077

I am so sorry...

Look everyone! Its waving! Hi Mars!

>>8157430
Wait, why would you want to fight the Sun? The Sun is what keeps everything together.

Sun, the lifegiver, the mother by the hearth.
Mercury, the infant, the ironheart, with sunburned face and cold back.
Venus, the daughter star, the ever-envious, the virgin baring no skin.
Earth, the Beautiful, sister to Venus.
Mars, the rusted dwarf, the old-timer.
Asteroid belt marks the boundary of the House.
Around the House stalk the Giants - Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, yearning for the Hearth, unaware of the damage and death they can bring. Their steps so thunderous that the walls shed pebbles.
Pluto, one of the Shivering Forgotten that is closest to the Hearth, with him begins the Cold Countryside.

>>8157444
Oh he's also the god of Wandering (cause he's got a funky orbit). Well Ex-God, but no one's crazy enough to try to strip him of that title.

>>8157430
It could certainly be, yeah, but consider that Venus probably was similar to Earth in the past and Mars may have been. Moons such as Europa are also theorised to be totally capable of sustaining life (undersurface ocean planet, apparently). So we might feature as the 'chosen one' now, but there's no reason it should be a permanent role. Any mythology needs a history and future written, above and beyond the current state of affairs.

>>8156923
>Earth Mother is kind and benevelent. .

>Earth

>Kind

HA!
Off all the planets.

Earth is the most badass.

Read it and weep, naturefag.

>>8157503
As the OP: I said nothing about that, broseph.

>>8157469
Pretty neat bro.

Mercury is totally hyperactive, so no one really bothers with him. They don't want to deal with his crap.

>>8157514
Sorry BRO-P.

I just failed my quote it was targeted at >>8157054
I erased it by mistake

>>8157503
Phooey. Earth can support life, so it's uniquely easy modo in human knowledge.

But benevolent, oh lawdy. Someone needs to go backpacking for a week or two.

>>8157503
Earth is the Goddess of Life, Death, War and Survival.

All rolled into a beautiful blue and green package.

>>8157621
this works quite well.

Mars: gnome god of speed and fire
Venus: half-elf goddess of poison and swamps
Gaia: human goddess of forests and love
Mars: dwarf god of deserts and civilization
Jupiter: ogre goddess of storms and money
Saturn: elf god of battle and law
Neptune: draken god of oceans and chaos
Uranus: half-orc god of ice and death
Pluto: hobbit demigoddess of darkness and wandering

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>8157621
>Gaia: human goddess of forests and love

You there. cut this love and peace shit out.

If you want it so much, give it to something else.

The gods of cold/hot/lifeless/boring/gassy/etc

> Gaia: human goddess of forests and friendzone
fixed

Mars: gnome god of speed and fire
Venus: half-elf goddess of poison and swamps
Gaia: human goddess of SURVIVAL and ADAPTATION.
Mars: dwarf god of deserts and civilization
Jupiter: ogre goddess of storms and FAILURE. always trying to be a greater god (sun), but a failure nevertheless
Saturn: elf god of battle and law
Neptune: draken god of oceans and chaos
Uranus: half-orc god of ice and death
Pluto: hobbit demigoddess of darkness and wandering

>>8157697
>goddess of forests and yandere
fix'd further

>>8157469
The Moon could be Earth's stillborn child, a painful memory that will be abandoned and forgotten in time. Phobos and Deimos could be Mars' unfaithful hounds, fated to one day maim him.
Not sure about various Jovian moons. Maybe the Giants are a feast for some critters or parasites.
And in the Cold Countryside there are other Houses, far away.

>>8157725
I'm not going to bother typifying the gods with races so that's not necessary, but thanks for the rest.

>>8157745
>goddess of forests and tsundere
superior fix'd is superior.

She doesn't says she loves us then she hurts us. but the other way around.

>>8157469
This one is really cool.

>>8157786
Yeah, I'll use the Hearth, House and Cold Countryside metaphor. It fits well.

However, they still need domains, and expansion of their personality.

>>8157784
S-stupid humans... It's not like I like you or anything, j-jeez...

> Gaia: human goddess of SURVIVAL and ADAPTATION.
I think forests should be kept -- no other planet has them -- but I like survival/adaption which is related words for "living" or "life"

>>8157283

Hey guys am I cool now?

>>8157859
Totally.

Hay! The month of Mars is nearly upon us! LET US PRAISE THE GOD OF WAR!

>>8157859
Pluto is cool. You are just small time.

>>8157042
>Pluto should be the pretender God

Pretend nothing! I'm a planet! Honest!

>>8157914
Yeah. A -dwarf- planet.

>>8157859
Get out Ganymede I'm piss

> for reference

>>8158117
Woah, Jupiter is a big motherfucker.

>>8158145

Now search for a scale picture of Betelgeuse.

>>8158191
Betelgeuse rides on the shoulder of the constellation known as Orion the Hunter. At 1,000 times the size of our Sun it is one of the biggest stars known and also one of the most luminous, emitting more light than 100,000 Suns put together. But such mightiness comes at a cost, for Betelgeuse will meet its fate in a spectacular supernova explosion at an age of only a few million years.

>>8158117
Pluto is planet, go back to trolling /sci/.

>>8158191
In the Cold Countryside there are other, sometimes bigger, Houses.

>>8158212
Okay. As the OP, I was stricken by a new idea. What would people think of a game where you take on the mantle of 'planetary' gods - for instances, players might choose to be Mars, Venus, Saturn and Pluto from the House of Sol. Each sun represents a new 'hearth' to travel to and from, amidst the whisperings and scuttlings in the empty dark between.

Ceres of the lost.
not a god but considered at least worth worship in some right.
he takes in all the things lost like himself giving it what care he can. not caring whether you be saint on sinner. the lost need a direction, and he helps them find their's. He stands between the giants outside knowing the dangers beyond the door, and knows the pleasintries and warmth of home. yet belivieng he has found no place in life he continues to search and continues to guide.

Size comparisons, animooted

>>8158145
That's why I get all the bitches, brah. *flexes*

>>8158281
That is fucking crazy.

>>8158480

Makes you feel small doesn't it.

>>8158529
Not really, I was just constantly like HOLY FUCK.

>>8158551
Indeed, the universe is a pretty fucking awesome place and to think we're only just getting out there makes it all the more impressive.

>>8158610
I should have stuck with exogeology.

>>8158610
it makes me depressed.


I'm going to be looooooooooong dead before we come up with FTL/warp/hyperspace/whatever travel that allows us to colonize other star systems.

Star travel is my most vehement fantasy.
bawww

>>8156970

Well, thanks /tg/. I'll run with this 'Solar Hearth' idea. Now I just need to come up with a system where I can adapt planets into player characters and a setting and 'big bad' idea.

The Sun is the creator, lord and master of the solar system. It's incarnate power gives light and life and has from the very first morning.

Pluto, the forgotten lord, could have been the sun. a titanic battle in the Morning War (thanks, Legion) between it and the sun stripped it of its power. The forgotten one lurks in the shadows, in league with the mighty forces that cruise the shoals between solar systems, themselves lesser versions of the beings that wait between galaxies.

Jupiter: The sun's son. A pretender to the throne, and never quite igniting the way the sun did to take the titanic radiance and power that his father has. He wants nothing more than to topple his father and take his throne, ensuring his dominance of the solar system. But attacking his father could ignite him, causing either his ascension or death. Of course, his essence isn't enough to sustain the power that his father has. Allies: Mercury, Venus.

Earth: The Silent Planet.

The Moon: An agent for the Andromedan Galaxy, placed in the solar system and awoken in blood and fire to keep an eye on the silent planet itself. Noone else thinks it's awake, though. What the Andromedan's want with the silent one is a mystery.

Uranus: URANUS LOLOLOL. Your arse is the guardian of the solar system, forever patrolling in a lonely vigil for the beings that lurk in the black. Its internal inhabitants are all under the direct control of the Uranus planet mind itself and toil away building gas cannons floating in the cerulean ocean-sky. Just incase Uranus usual method of bitchslapping shit fails.

I'm bored. Someone else finish/

>>8158753
oh, make the big bad a black hole.
destroying all in it's all encomposing hunger.

>>8158813
Yeah, I guess that could work. Portions of the black hole, like the shadows in Iko or the undead in that 'Sabriel' series, seeking to devouring the hearths of the nation. There's a definite, European Old Kingdom feel to this.

There was an ancient war during the early formation of the solar system and in the ashes of cosmic fire only Earth, Lord of Water who stood triumphant. All other gods have been killed, are in comas or in torture.

A vain and extremely powerful deity, the sun did not participate in the war directly, his power merely attracted the other gods who are to him as ants are to us. For reasons unknown he entered a long and deep sleep interrupted by periodic flares of solar power.

>>8158873
The undead didn't want to eat everything. They wanted POWER POWER POEWR because they were all shit scared of dying. Orannis just wanted peace and quiet and decided the best way to do it was universal genocide.

>>8158922
Oh, and FUCK Yrael. I like him, but I stole his name fair and square from an Ian Irvine book and now everyone goes LOLOLOL MOGGET HAHA

>>8158932
You made me nostalgia.

>>8158922
>universal genocide.

Its called omnicide.

>>8158932
>>8158922
Yeah, I'm afraid I only remember it very vaguely. I feel in feel (they attack the isolated villages and break their power) and theme (there are different types - ones that lurk on the backs of dwellers at the hearth, waiting, others that devour the hearth-dwellers and imitate them), not necessarily goal.

>>8158894

Mercury the Naive Worshipper, saw the glory of the sun and worshipped it as supreme deity of the universe (not that the sun cared). In it's attempt to gain an advantage during the war, Mercury tried to steal the fire but the intense heat killed him before he got even close.

Venus the Insane Sister. Once closely related to Earth she nonetheless took up arms against the other gods. The epic battles that raged across the stars have taken its toll on poor venus and has left her a gibbering and volatile stress filled deity. Self destructive and vengeful, even her brother Earth stays away from her influences.

Lunar the Sacrifice, As the war dragged and became apparent that Earth will be victorious, the remaining gods grabbed poor lunar and hurled her at Earth. A ploy that gave the planet new found powers and abilities. In gratitude, Earth has kept the lifeless body of Lunar in orbit, as both warning and trophy of his endless power and the fate of those who stand against him.

>>8158964

>>8158994

Mars the Stoic. Once a Stalwart Warrior of the stars this honorable warrior met his end not through virtuous combat but by having his magical atmosphere drained and left to suffocate, an inglorious and shameful death. The corpses of Phobos and Deimos are attached and imbued with energies to ensure the Red Warrior never rises again.

The Asteroid Belt is in reality a graveyard, full of armies of cosmic warriors that did battle. Ceres is the largest "piece" but is in actual fact an unidentified piece of a long dead demi god.

>>8158813
It should be the black hole in teh centre of the Milky Way.

>>8159049

The outer gods of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are a host of invaders that tried to lay claim to the inner solar system but were repulsed after an eon of war and in punishment for their intrusion, they were condemned to breathe the Breathe Cosmic, a drug that induces violent convulsions and permanent lethargy. And there they will sit until the very stars are burnt out.

>>8158813
this

but make a league of them since there is more than one black hole out there.

Riders of doom that roam the dark countryside, devouring any who come into their path. They seem to have no motive beyond utter and complete destruction, bending and warping the very laws of reality to their whim.

>>8159188
Yep.

Mercury- God of Love and closeness. Since it's so close to the sun.

Venus- Goddess of the Elements. Fire (the head), Water (the vapor), Air (the noxious gases), Earth (the rock)

Terra- Goddess of Fertility and Life

Mars- God of Hope and Second Chances (best chance to be colonized)

Jupiter- Goddess of Size and Wealth. Represents the huge fuckton of resources we can get from it and the satellite

Saturn- God of Bros and Coolness. BECAUSE IT HAS RINGS BITCH!

Neptune and Uranus- God and Goddess of the small folk. Those that don't get noticed, and aren't unique.

Pluto- God of Failure. 'Nuff said.

Fucking Doom of Malantai!

Terra once had a brother. His name was orpheus, but in a fit of rage, they quarreled. Terra slew his beloved sibling and in a fit of madness devoured most of his corpse. Now only Luna, cold, lifeless Luna remains of him, a testament to Terra's terrible guilt.

this is altogether too silly

Awesomely silly!

ITT: Face on Mars.

You know, there are plenty of size comparisons around, but the thing that gets me is the sheer distances involved. Take the earth and the sun, for example. I have an image, to scale, showing these two, the correct distance apart. It is too large to post. The resolution is 30,000 x 486. The sun is approximately 300x300. The earth is about the size of the letter o.
