Recruiting is sort-of open.Once upon a time, there existed a small world, filled with small creatures. These creatures, oh, let's call them
humans, were a little less than two meters tall on average, with two arms, two legs, little fur covering them, and a head, but curiously without tails. Descendants of wild beasts, they themselves were often random and unpredictable, but this also made them adaptable. Humans, like most animals, had a fear of the unknown, and so explained that which was not immediately apparent with otherwordly powers. Gods and devils and whathaveyou. However, unlike most creatures, they existed not in four dimensions, but in five. The three of space, one of time, and another, encompassing emotions, belief, and unexplained power. Let's call it the realm of Thought, since only the more intelligent beings seemed to occupy it. Indeed, humans were among the smartest creature on the world so far, even as they barely understood fire. But what was more astounding, is that their belief, their unfounded explanations, became true, simply by them believing it. The first things created, due to the prayer invoked upon them, or the curses directed at them, were
devils,
faeries, and
gods. These creatures each had different characteristics in general, even if they were wildly different among themselves as well. This was mostly due to the human nature of categorizing; made it easier to know.
Gods: Gods are some of the most powerful beings in existence, and exist in six dimensions most of the time; the ones the humans live in, and one other, known as the
Celestial Realm. They can pull back from the three spatial dimensions, which they often do, becoming able to look in, but only act sparingly. They are the least agile of the three, as each is wildly focused on their own realm of power. Gods dislike the other classes, finding that Devils often kill their followers or otherwise drive them away, and Faeries to be a hassle to deal with when their worshipers require it.
Choose one major domain, and two minor domains. You may share a minor domain with another god, but not a major domain, and you may not share both minor domains with another god. Synonyms count as the same domain(Rot and Decay, or Courage and Bravery). You have unmatched influence in your major domain, and less, though still great, influence in your minor domains. Your primary resource is
Worship, which you gain from number and devotion of your followers.
Devils: Not so weak as the Fae, yet more able and wide-ranging than Gods, Devils also exist in six dimensions, but in their case, the sixth is the
Fiendish Realm. Though they often have and must remain bound to a set of domains, Demons have a much wider spread than Gods, but are almost universally reviled by humans, regardless of their true nature. This in turn led to them often being evil as a result of the creatures that made them, though accidentally. Demons hate the other two classes of power, finding faeries annoyingly nimble, and envious of the god's strength.
Choose three concepts. You may share a concept with another devil, but not multiple(No Rage, Destruction, Death, and Fury, Destruction, Pain, for example. Fury, Pain, and Blood would be acceptable in this case, however). You have a considerable amount of power in your concepts, but can perform other tasks. Your primary resource is
Influence; whether sentients hate, revere, or fear you, you gain strength, though reverence is much more effective.
Faeries: Lesser in power than the others, but not nearly so restricted in ability, the original Fae were sneaky and chaotic creatures constantly up to mischief and trickery. Still considerably stronger than humans, the Faeries live in six dimensions, the sixth in this case known as
Underhill. They cannot truly retreat from the spatial dimensions like the others, however. Faeries find the other classes strange, seeing the gods overwhelming power but tiny area of influence as somewhat funny, and the Devil's anger and moderation intimidating.
Choose two ideas. You may share any number of ideas with other fae, as you have only a slightly greater amount of power in this areas. You are very adaptable however, and the most similar to humans in this way. Your primary resource is
Magic, which is gained passively, but randomly, and has many methods of getting such.

Alright, this is a multiplayer game, preferably no more than 6 or 7, and my first time GMing one of these things. Your goal in this game? Develop the world, advance your cause, and do whatever the hell you want...of course, Devils and Gods die if they run out of their resources, though Faeries just find themselves weakened...Hope this goes well.
A bit of clarification. Please edit posts if you change your mind, rather than putting new ones.
Also, Bold your actions so I can see them more easily. And try to make 'em short and sweet? Make Angel with details not bolded. You know?
