Character Name: Irving

Character Description: a tall oak tree growing out of a rock floating in space, his branches look exactly like an infinite number of human arms stretching out in a semicircle. Its roots, which seem to completely permeate the rock and even protrude out of it from every direction, seem to act as tentacles.

Backstory: Irving is the Primal Tree, one of the first aspects of manipulation. Successor to the forces of Creation, his job is to make a decently livable place out of all the materials given to him by the Creator. Not his favorite job, to tell the truth, but he guesses he can make do. At least it should pay well when he's done. And it's job experience, though where this would be applicable is beyond him.

First Action: Arrive in space. Find a planetoid made of iron.

Character Name (optional):Sam Bark
Character Description:A tall black hair bloke who wears capes and longcoats. Blue eyes and wield a revolver.
Backstory (optional):
First Action:Land badly.
(6)
And out of the void a hole seems to pop open, disturbing the sanctity of this empty place. It isn't open for long, but the time it hangs open like a light at the end of the metaphorical tunnel is enough to let somthing tumble through - or in this case, someone. A humanoid figure, this, a man waeing a heavy brown longcoat, almost like an aviator. He's backing up, nearing the portal, firing desperately at something ahead of him - and then his foot goes through the portal and over the edge into the void. HE looks behind him, revealing blue eyes and pale skin in the process, blanches, and desperatryl tries to backpedal before tumbling into the once-empty black. The portal closes behind him as he feels gravity taking a hold of him, and he looks to see where he's being taken.
(5)
Well, shit. It's a planet of some kind - how he's breathing at this point is beyond him - and it's absolutely covered in spiky mountains. I hate spiky mountains, he thought as he hurtled toward it, helpless to stop himself. As he gets closer, he looks at the planet again - is that obsidian?!
Shit.
Hurtling toward the planet at freefall speeds, the only thought in his mind was, this is going to hurt. And it does! It really, really does.
All he really remembers is the ground rushing up towards him, and then black. He looks around and screams in pain as he moves - or rather tries to. Instead, no words come out of his mouth, no sound, not even any air. And he feels curoiusly light now as well, like he's lost weight. He looks around and - OH GOD
OH GOD WHY
HOW AM I ALIVE
He was reduced to almost nothing - the ground for several meters was splattered with bone, blood, and organs. As well as scattered pieces of body parts and scraps of coat, which he won't be needing now that he's a head and a spine.
Sam Blake lands on the Obsidian Sphere!
His body is virtually destroyed, apart from the head, miraculously still alive, and his spinal cord.


First Action: Throw a planetiod into another planetiod with everything I have. Watch the results.
And now a second presence manifests itself, an ominous cloud of radiaoactive material looming ominously, forever suspended at the moment of detonation; upon close inspection, a grinning face can be observed within. This harbinger of destruction and anarchy turns it's attention now to the space it finds itself confined in.
(3)(2)
(6)
Reaching out with malavolent power, it grasps hold of an immense orb floating in space that seems to be composed entirely of soggy, musty carpeting, and another that seems to be composed of canine hair, and throws them together with only the force of it's will, purely to observe the results.
And now comes the part where it regrets advancing the cause of science. Who knew that dog hair and wet carpet would do that?
'That' is collide with immense force and immediately detonate with the force of 87.912391132487 400-kiloton nuclear warheads, or at least that is what Superblast's internal nuclear senses tell it. Normally this would be fine and dandy, but then the dust begins to form together.
Into the shape of a nuclear cloud.
One much bigger than him right now.
It looks at him with undoubtedly malavolent intent.
Superblast has destroyed the planets of Wet Carpet and Dog Hair!
A large nuclear cloud similar to Superblast but much larger has been created from this.
Wet Carpet and Dog Hair explose when combined.


Character Name: Irving
Character Description: a tall oak tree growing out of a rock floating in space, his branches look exactly like an infinite number of human arms stretching out in a semicircle. Its roots, which seem to completely permeate the rock and even protrude out of it from every direction, seem to act as tentacles.

Not his favorite job, to tell the truth, but he guesses he can make do. At least it should pay well when he's done. And it's job experience, though where this would be applicable is beyond him.
First Action: Arrive in space. Find a planetoid made of iron.
(4)
And yet another new presence has found it's way into this now-noisy space. This one is a curious thing - a rock acts as the center, out of which a truly collosal tree, with multifarious branches reaching out to grasp ... something, and the long roots that poke out of it wave around in empty space. It seems to possess an intelligence slower and deeper than other hasty lifeforms, and it turns it's attention to its own mysterious purposes. Iron must be found.
Well, there's a planetoid of it over there! It doesn't seem to be of very good quality and a tiny bit of rust is showing, but it will do.
Irving has found the Shabby Iron Planet!

Character Name (optional): Unanmed
Character Description: Unseeable ((A sort of blank spot in space, I exist both nowhere and everwhere.))
Backstory (optional): Unkowable ((Because he's just started existing.))
First Action:Introduce myself!
((Mwahaha))
(1)
And here is ... nothing? Well I guess we'll just move on.
Nothing happened! This thing doesn't technically exist!

Character Name (optional): Captain Canada
Character Description: (avatar)
Backstory (optional): Nope
First Action: Try to create life on a planet.
(5)(1)
And here is a shining pinnacle of glory, a figure that safeguards the very world itself in the pursuit of maple syrup, poutine, and the Canadian Way: CAPTAIN CANADA! Looking around with a confident look, he gazes upon an ideal planet for making life - a sphere composed entirely of a suburbian lawn!
Focusing his CANADIAN MIGHT, he attempts to create life here, to spread the word of Canada even in this seemingly empty space!
However, while focusing his godlike powers upon the planet below, he feels an itch in his nose! He desperately tries to stop it, but it is too late - he sneezes with a mighty force, and the sonic wave crushes both the planet and any hope of making life there!
Also, his face got blown off by the sneeze. He looks very much like Red Skull right now, except that he's in horrible agony.
Captain Canada has destroyed the Suburbian Lawn Planet!
C.C's face has been torn off, leaving him with no face!


Character Name: GreatWyrmGold
Character Description: Great Wyrm Gold Dragon
Bio: Recently escaped a planet made of dragon; trying to find something to do
Action: Fly to nearby planetoids in search of life
(2)
A presence swins through the inky black of space, rippling along it's length as it searches endlessly. The others had cast him out, said he was mad, or just an idealist. Either way, the senile old elder could not live among them any longer. The gigantic golden dragon shudders at the memory, and then straightens onward, looking endlessly for life to share the void with.
It finds something, eventually. A sphere, floating in the infinite blackness. It's surface, he can see, is rock - playground gravel, if he sees it correctly. However, there is no life here. What to do, what to do...
GreatWyrmGold has discovered the Planet of Schoolyard Gravel!
No life, though.


Character Name (optional): Derm
Character Description: Look to the left.
Backstory (optional):  *You hear someone scream in a perfect A flat forverer.*
First Action: Land on tree planetoid.
(6)
A mad wizard, they say. An archmage. A sorceror of great power. Whatever he is, it is agreed that having him anywhere near you is not a good thing. He looks around in the endless void. Ah, there we are! A green circle thingy. That should be fun.
Vvvzzsssssssshhhhhhhooooooooooooom
He zooms toward the green thingy, going at an incredible rate! Oh wow this flyng spell works amazingly with no air resistance. I should be there in no time! ... Wait, shouldn't I be stopping?
OhcrapohcrapohcrapWWWHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE

With an almighty thundering boom, the wizard descends within a fireball and impacts among the numerous trees of the ball of plant material, leaving an enormous flaming crater. He gets up, relatively unscathed. "Well, that went better than expected."
(6)
It's then that he notices the plants gowing back. Quite quickly, in fact. Almost unnaturally quickly. His suspicions are quickly proved right when the ground he's standing on opens up, revealed to be the maw of some giant carnivorous plant!
(4)
Fortunately, he rolls out of the way, but now before the terrible jaws tear his robe a little.
Well, this should be !!FUN!!.
Derm has landed upon the Planet of Supernatural, Carnovorous, Pointy and Otherwise Dangerous Plants!

Character Name (optional): Sollux Captor
Character Description: Avatar
Backstory (optional): Interpret how you'd like, sir.
First Action: Float towards the nearest planetoid, and tear it apart with psychic abilities that I totally have.
(5)
And lo and behold, one of those guys! You know, the grey guys. The grey things. Whatever; he's a grey guy thing with sunglasses and stuff. Beginning a trend of destruction that will no doubt end spectacularly, he looks around for a planet to tear apart! Hey there's one! It look like it's made out of wax, so it won't be able to counterattack him for this thing he's about to do!
(1)
He holds his breath, spins upside down, and focuses very hard on tearing the innocent wax ball apart! Two things happen because of this:
1: He soiled himself.
2: He burst blood vessels in his eyes, preventing him from seeing anything.
Altogether, no psychic powers.
Sollux Captor has disovered the Wax Planet!
He has soiled himself.
He has blinded himself via burst blood vessels in both his eyes.
He does not have psychic powers.

CRAFT A FACE ON A PLANETOID, PUNCH FACE
And now for the last thing to pop into this void, now teeming with pure potential.
...Is that a disembodied head?
...Yes it is. It has green anime eyes, purple hair, and a mischevious expression. Oh! What's it trying to do?
(6)
It's turning to a planet made of volcanoes (it seems dangerously close to spewing in it's general direction)...
(2)
And I think it tried to make a face on it. However, it can't really do anything, being a head.
(1)
I think it tried to give itself an arm there, but as you can see with our Detectometers, it just gave itself a cancerous tumor shaped like an arm! A stunted, shriveled, malformed arm.
(2)
It just tried to take a swing at the planet! Oh how cute! Now it's spinning in circles because it can't move because it's a head! Awww, I want a plushie!
LordSlowpoke has discovered the Volcano Planet (prone to eruptions)!
It has grown a cancerous tumor shaped like a malformed arm!
It is a head.

(3)
And finally, a figure in a spaceship that seems to be constructed of cardboard arrives! Sighing, it begins scouting for shinies!
(6)
And find shinies it does - a whole planet of diamond! Too bad it's a spiky planet and he's stuck in a cardboard 'spaceship'.
Furtuka has disovered the Spiky Diamond Planet!
He has a cardboard box with the word 'SPAECSHIP' scrawled on it in Magic Marker.
