I think you're confusing me with someone else, aren't you? I used the term RI for role immersion.
And as a brief side-note, do you have a log at all of your ritual? I think it would be interesting to see how the mortal/immortal boundaries and relationships have been defined so far, and that would seem an excellent source of canon information.
Oops. RI was what I meant.
As for the log, I play using the java Nexus. I don't believe there's a way to log using it. Though, I can tell you what transpired. Shortly after Marina became the Mystericon (order head) of Lacostian's order, Lacostian rewarded her for creating the temple that was formerly his but now is Elostian's (spelling?). All save for two rooms were my designs. After he asked her what she wanted as a reward, she asked to become his daughter. He told her he would think about it, and then the next month she was in his temple and he arrived. He told her a ritual had to be done, and during the ritual, he cut open Marina's arm and then cut his own open. His blood and essence flew into her open wound, and her blood flew into his. This happened for a length of time and then the ritual was over. He told her not to speak publically about it, since it could possibly raise the err of other people. Afterwards, this also allowed Marina to use miracles as a RI element. There was one time, shortly before Marina left to go beyond the basin, that she went to New Celest and at the pool of stars, met some man who wanted her to wipe away his memories. I asked Lacostian about it, and he said to use his divine power through Marina. I can't remember his name though. I believe it was because of his lover? Or sister? I can't remember, but she was there as well.
And that about sums it up.
Question though. I've never noticed a logging option on the Nexus client. Can it log?

If Elryn ascends, Avaerin should go to Glomdoring and get wyrded so that he can have a reason to go insane and want Glomdoring to burn.

Nexus can log by doing Copy + Paste

If Astraea were to become a goddess (Which is unlikely, as she is not a major face in Lusternia) she would be a goddess obsessed with nature spirits. Not the fae, but the Greater Spirits; Crow, Night, Hart, Moon, and so forth. Astraea is very obsessed with nature, and so as a goddess I believe she’d only become even more infatuated with it. She'd try to emulate the Elders and create life (no matter how impossible it might be.). She’d strive to be an amalgamation of the Sixth and Seventh circle archetypes. The best of both worlds, if you will (Again, no matter how impossible.). I’d also very much like for Astraea to stay Glomdoring-oriented.
I see this push for more of a neutrality in a lot of other people if they were to become gods, but I think I’d prefer Astraea to stay fiercely loyal to Glomdoring. Though her resentment towards Serenwilde would lessen because she would realize the importance of Moon and Hart as Great Spirits. She’d not really care about Magnagora and Celest, but would have a passing interest in Celestia and Nil, because if things had been different, the Demon Lords (Or at least what they were before the taint) and the Supernals would have become gods in their own right. And possibilities like that drive Astraea into wonder and awe. I’d also want (With admin permission) to do an event or two about other great spirits. I mean, all the focus is on Night, Crow, Hart, and Moon. I’d want to see something relating to Squirrel, Wolf, or Snake, simply because I think that they deserve some of the spotlight too.
I’d like to RP a greater connection to Mother Night, not only because Astraea is a Shadowdancer, but perhaps because in becoming divine, she might echo a piece of Elfenehoala, and Mother Night would pick up on that. I always thought that Mother Night has been somewhat neglected. Sort of relegated to the crazy lady in the background.
I’d also want a Goddess-Astraea to be insanely obsessed over Ackleberry, simply because it would be out of her reach. Forbidden fruit and all that. Personality wise, I think Astraea would be an ends-justify-the-means type of personality. Her personality would definitely be addictive and obsessive, sort of mad scientistish, but without the eccentric. She’d also be very soft-spoken. (Respect is ingrained into you from the moment you join the Shadowdancers). She’d probably try to model herself after the vernal gods since she’d see them as a closer relation to her than the Elder gods, and end up being somewhat of a dark and twisty mix of Shanth and Tzaraziko. As far as names go, I’d definitely change Astraea’s. Lusternian God names are so imaginative, and Astraea is nice, insofar as unimportant mythological goddesses of Justice. So definitely something original. I’d probably beg Estarra to make up a fae-name (Since Astraea is part fae, after all) for her. That’s pretty much my own grand what-if vision. I'll probably end up trying some of the seal challenges, but after hearing about who some of the others are going to run, I know I have all but no chance, so this'll get to stay a pipe dream for a bit longer.

The only people I could feel good about supporting for godhood if it were based solely on these threads would be Gwylifar and now Astraea.

He doesn't want that already?

One of the difficulties here is that most of the people who have what it takes to be a great Ascended Divine - well, it would be a real loss from their current communities were they to actually ascend. I could almost hope that none of the people mentioned from Glomdoring win this thing, just because I'd hate to lose them from their current capacities.
I'll stop short of trying to keep the staff away from them, though.

I wonder if there's a tie we'll get the Elostian gambit, which means two of us get Syncreticized into one god.
I'm seeing Marina's post and thinking if Shayle and Tully became Shully or Tuyle or something like that.
(She can have control on the nights, I on weekends.)
Man, I'm too tired.
