So I was thinking about D&D 4's flavor text for classes of the divine power source, and it ocurred to me that it sounded a lot like the apostolic succession (in Wikipedia by that name), and if that made any sense in the post-apocalyptic setting I'm developing. Which led to this, eventually:
So like two thousand years ago, this totally boss Mexican hacker decided to just punk the Romans, back when they were just beating up everyone at Age of Empires. Called himself "Hey,Zeus" to mess with their heads, make them think he's Greek, you know? So he's so l33t that he h4x0rz a new character class, cleric, and gets some newbs following him around, sayin' he's godly. He hits the level cap and this mob finally catches up with him, and the admins didn't like him much, so it takes him three days to respawn. So he finally shows up and the newbs are all like, zOMG!one!1!!!eleventy!! and all, and he hits them with the PC stick. And they go out and totally pwn these zones with awesome names like Thessalonica, which should totally be a metal band, and when people started asking what the hacker's up to, he was like, Dude, I'm in your base, being your deity.
So yeah, "Apostolic Succession" is the kick-ass name of their guild, and to join, one of them has to have hit you with the PC stick.
