The council would all have titles and different roles/responsibilities. Like the Timekeeper. I have a character I made specifically for a 'Timekeeper' role, yes.

The Timekeeper, in either one, would be in charge of the clocks- Which in either world would be like being in charge of people's lives. Everyone has a clock and the Timekeeper is in charge of those clocks. Fixing them if they break or crack or anything like that, changing the 'season' that the clock is in, which just means the theme/outlook of life, pausing or unpausing clocks to give people actual free will, determining how long someone gets to live, and just that kind of stuff.

Overthink101 said:

Haha. Well, I mean, the Timekeeper would be more of a myth to people. Or more of a secret. People would think they have free will, never realizing they don't.

The council, if I went with that one, would all have clocks too, but they would've been paused and gifted to them by the Timekeeper.

And they'd all have roles/responsibilities in a similar manner to the Timekeeper, all a part of the secret society/council of basically higher powers that control different aspects of life/the universe.

Each one would've just come into existence at some point with their roles, and they've been doing them forever, over time forming the council and whatnot.

-

As for the apprentice one, it'd be similar but the Timekeeper would be training the apprentices to try and ease the load, the apprentices having their clocks paused and chosen in complete secrecy by the Timekeeper.

Not sure which I like more, if I do the council one then I'd let each of you give me the title you'd want your character to have or what you'd want your character to have domain over

-

And, third thought

What if I combine them?

Timekeeper brings them in as apprentices only to create the council-

I love the idea of moles but also- I feel like it wouldn't be likely.

The Timekeeper is literally just this short, childish, wacky, non-binary gremlin who would call all the apprentices 'Friend' and lacks all social cues due to being stuck in their tower all the time taking care of the clocks for multiple millennia. Literally their only friends are mechanical spiders that they've built.

Overthink101 said:

The only issue with combining the ideas is that with the original council idea, everyone would be multiple millennia old and would've come into existence exactly for their title and role/responsibility.

Not sure how I'd put that into the mash-up

Overthink101 said:

Alright, well-

It could be that the council had existed, at one point, but something had happened that caused all but the Timekeeper to still have their role. So the apprenticeship is to get them back.

Still a lot to go over and figure out and whatnot, but that's the just of the idea I have to try and combine the two ideas

oh?? do tell!! :D

Overthink101 said:

I think I found a way to combine both ideas

Overthink101 said:

Let me just say this- This is a total 'first come first serve' in the fact that you'll need to PM me what title/domain/place you'd want for your character.

-

Some ideas for domain that can totally be something else;

Knowledge(might be taken already)

Space

Dreams & Nightmares

Elements (Fire, Water, Earth, & Air)

-

For an example of what I mean by 'place';

The Timekeeper resides in the 'Clock Tower', where the floors and stairs and walls are gears and the walls are lined with clocks from the floor all the way to the ceiling, and the clocks can even be switched out through the walls to bring more out. The gears are able to move them around to keep them on schedule and focused on whatever clock they need to be focused on.

If any of you want any of the spots not taken, you can PM me

Overthink101 said:

Domains Taken;

Elements (Earth & Fire)

Dreams & Nightmares

Knowledge

Healing

Time

Space

Domains Not Taken;

Elements (Water & Air)

And if you have an idea for a different domain then you can just PM it lol

ah, so you did find a way to resolve the issue of the council vs the apprentices! absolutely lovely :) i think that it generally sounds like a fun plot, what with a fun individual raising a bunch of people into roles where ominous holes are left to be filled from the previous council :')

if you can't find someone to take the water and air element council, i could always fill it! joining another roleplay wouldn't hurt ^-^
