Sorry Rhyme and scap. Didn't notice you. Probably the large picture of a flying sun-horse distracting me or something. THat sounds good. Also...you don't have to use latin words and crap. This isn't earth. Rome doesn't exist. If you want, you can, but it sounds like you don't like the name either....adding you to the player list momentarily. As for actions...
World:
Human Population: 88(OH NOES! Also, that's equal to about 8,800 people. Plague is bad, eh?)
Shoggoth Pop: 3 (300 shoggoths, more or less. See the pattern?)
Chaos Creature Pop: 9(about a hundred don't worship you, Jebyg.)
Fae: ?(measured in 10s, rather than hundreds)
Alrezar: The giant, sadly, isn't ticklish. And besides that, your hand hurts from his grip. That isn't to say you lost however...the freezing wind,(though mildly warm to a frost giant) is distracting enough,m and billows his robes/loincloth out enough, that he can't pin your arm down. Original fae are pretty strong apparently. But...trying to move his arm is like shoving a glacier. So you're in deadlock. Shit. At least some other fae are watching...it's unlikely you'll die if the giant loses, but you'll lose faec.

Azaroth: As you form from the very thoughts of the humans in the world, from their fear, from the battles, from the ravaging flames that consume and destroy...you grin. This world is good. It will provide much sport...but goddamnit. You can feel your power draining as the human's minds wander to other things...95 influence
Celestia: Another god tries to strike at your avatar! While the being is a mere manifestation of light, you can feel the hatred within your divine self. You could confront or ignore this being...after all, it only hurt a little. But down on the earth, you see through the projections eyes death. Wars and plagues abound, destroying harvested crops and killing many...while farmers still thank you, and a few minor cults have risen about you(cult means a small but devoted number, not always evil), they are dying. What to do...

Cupiditas: See Azaroth. Adjust fluff text slightly.
Draco: The perfect candidate. A poor woman, ravaged by disease, her skin peeling and blistering, oozing with sores, as her children starve and beg...you appear to her while she dreams, feverishly, flicking away the disease like a speck of dirt from a robe. You imbue her body with sustenance. As you do, you hear her responding, pleading and thanking...the first prayers of your existence. It is a good feeling. She begins to do your will, creating food, curing sickness and presiding over crimes, as is only right. She asks only for one thing. Skill at arms for her and her disciples, to hunt down the beings which spread this plague. Already, she has found and captured several, trying them at court for their crimes and then burning them at the stake. But many she cannot catch; she is only human, after all. For now. (also, it's a small world, as said in the intro)

Javier: While you are very successful, you aren't well liked. This is helpful for influence, certainly...but not so much for the strangely immune(and cured, now that you remember; you had given her the illness because she had 4 kids, was pregant and noone to help; would've been funny to see orphans. Besides, the unborn child could have become a Plague Demon, if you wanted), but now she's pissed. And hunting down your carriers, with a group of also immune disciples. What now?
Oh! And a new development. One of the idiotic gods seems to be assisting you. Dark creatures of pestilence and rot, quite wonderful things, really, are spreading fear through the country. Of your plague. Of your power. How convenient...

Jebyg:(just realized it was you attacking the avatar, not cthulhu. NO TENTACLES FOR YOU MISTER) Your divine attacks do little to the being; it is an image, nothing more. While that means it was a mere waste of energy, it also means it's nothing more than a nuisance to you. For now.
There's still enough humans alive to worship you, after all...as for your prophets, only one is in a good position to do anything. The violent one; a warlord named Pariphas heeds your words, and turns his whole band and dominion to your (nonexistent) temples. Any who don't...die. Damski, the chaotic one, can't get anything done; keeps changing his mind. And the insane one is in a cave that even a god doesn't know where, skinning lizards with his toenails. That was unproductive. As well, a disease ravages the camps of the warlord...
The angel, however, is a marvelous creature, shifting and morphing with every second, an insatiable hunger for battle, and a crazed mind.(ANGELS TAKE ON THE GOD'S DOMAIN CHARACTERISTICS. Also, they don't give you worship. However, using them to do tasks instead of doing it yourself, costs nothing, even though they have an upkeep cost themselves. They aren't anywhere near as powerful as you though.) Sadly, it is not ready in time to deal with the fae creature. Too bad. It would have been hilarious to see if a magic creature could regrow an arm before it bled to death. But this all...makes you so...tired...

Kazar: Your demon is quite beautiful, is you do say so yourself. A dessicated body, a look of constant contempt on it's foul features, as if it knows something you don't, and never could...but it can do little, for in order to make it this amazing, you had to use much of your power, and it took a long time. (Which concept does it hold sway over? Doesn't have to be one of yours)
Influence used: 50(10 upkeep, 40 demon)(demons are a little more powerful than angels, but the equivalent of a lesser god for devils, whereas gods can actually make lesser gods too, which are a little less powerful than devils.)

Nikalas: You begin the work, and are disappointed as some of your followers cringe at the screams coming from within the huts. They come not from fear, but sympathy, at least. Some succumb first to the 'miracles' you wreak, and the others watch, helpless and scared. When you are finished, the beings, rotten gauntly creatures of illness. They exude fear, and those nearby, even your most fervent followers, cannot help but move away. As they spread through the land, slaying the helpless and the sickened, all those who are weak, they make people even more fearful of the sickness...

Protogenos: Exhausting work, even for a god. But the creation of life is your domain, and you excel in it. The Wyverns are marvelous creatures, each unique, each powerful, each paying thanks to you, even if they don't worship as such.

Rhyme(I give you a name for ease of use): Traveling the land, you record the lore and mythology, becoming a piece of it yourself. A small collection of house sprites, brownies, and other fae more common in civilization, begin following you; you're interesting, and mortals can be boring. Sometimes, at least. Most leave after a few weeks, finding you even more boring, but you are collecting a small group of followers.

Strelic: The world being sadly primitive, the largest trade hub was pretty small. Oh well. Tilas goes, and spreads word. This is only mildly effective, but it does net you some followers, at least. And at no cost, too!
