[Nirur Torir]

From nothing, four gods sprang into existence. Bored of Void, they combined their powers to form a planet of rock. Bored of darkness, they created a star.



Now what?

Spoiler: Sign-up Sheet. I pick applicants. (click to show/hide)

Name: What will the future mortals know you as?
Appearance: What will the future mortals make statues of at your temples?
Personality: Nobody likes worshiping a being with no personality.
Agenda: What are your plans for this world?
Spheres: Pick three. They may be similar to another player's spheres, but not nearly identical (Heat and flame is fine. Fire and flame is not.)

After the first four players, observers, who play as minor gods, get control over a special 'fifth' slot. This slot only gets one action per turn, and does not gain power like the normal gods. Bonuses to its actions are based on the number of observers voting for it, scaling like normal gods' actions scale with power used.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Players try to do something to the world (Create a mountain, make an offshoot plane of existence, spawn a tribe of cutebolds, etc.) I roll 1d6 to see how successful they are. If something changes, I do things in Blender. Making hypercubes is not permitted without first extensively bribing the GM.

Players initially have 1 power/turn. More power income is most easily gained by the worship of mortals. Actions take at least one power each. You may make as many actions per turn as you have power income, rounded down to the nearest whole number. You may use more power for a bonus (+1 at 2, +2 at 4, +3 at 8, etc.) You may store power up to three times your income.

When cooperating with another player, you may choose to either combine power for a bonus, as though one player were using it all, or take separate actions and use only the highest roll. If more than two players are cooperating, everyone must use the same method (No +1 to one AND another roll). If it's not clear, or there is no consensus, I'm doing individual rolls.

Contested actions simply subtract the end result of the rolls from each other.

If I like how it turns out, I might eventually use it in another forum game.

Are you trying to hypnotize people with that gif. It's going quite fast.

[kj1225]

Name: Kyle
Appearance: A tall humanoid with a smooth face that's up to an individuals interpretation.
Personality: You remember that kid in school who always did weird things and just said he didn't know when people asked why? He's like that.
Agenda: I want to make monsters and see how long for humans to realize that only some of them are bad.
Spheres: Life, darkness, peace

[sjm9876]

Name:   K'rath
Appearance:   A silhouette, an outline of a jagged humanoid, spike protruding from it's joints and jaw.
Personality:   Aloof and cold, K'rath helps those who helps themselves. He admires the strong, and those he aids usually are strong of mind, if not of body. His most favoured followers are those who are prepared to use any means neccesary, whether to survive themselves, or to save others.
Agenda:   K'rath wishes for a savage, tumultuous world, one where the strong may show their worth against ever improving competition, and the truly brave are given the chance to prove their worth, and the cycle of life and death moves fast and furious.
Spheres:   Predators, Blood, Change

[Dermonster]

Name: Auphanim
Appearance: Many great rings with eyes on the sides, rotating around a gyroscope.
Personality: Think 'An AI tending to it's new offshoot programs.', calculating and a strange sort of detatched caring.
Agenda: To see mortal creatures break past their flaws. See errors in their programming, so to speak. To ascend beyond themselves.
Spheres: Wisdom, Hardship, and Progress.


Also this looks familiar.

[IronyOwl]

Name: Ar'kahal
Appearance: Much like a balor. A great hulking winged humanoid with dark red skin, digitigrade legs, massive curving horns, occasional spikes, and a skull-like visage.
Personality: Ar'kahal is the god of the crucible. He likes seeing things flourish and grow, but he likes seeing them thrive even more, growing and improving to overcome all challenges. He's patient with his plans and gracious towards those who have opposed him but earned his respect, but he can't stand weak-minded cowardice or aimless fools.
Agenda: Ambitious, reckless magical power in the hands of mortals. Nobody likes mortals who sit there worshiping trees in peaceful harmony or something. They like mortals who destroy themselves and everything around them harnessing powers fit to rival the gods. Or succeed and create a paradise or something, that works too.
Spheres: Power, Knowledge, Ambition

[Harry Baldman]

Name: Yon
Appearance: a kindly, grandmotherly, rather portly lady in a blue robe. Her hair is gray and she commonly carries a walking stick. Is a tad hunched and limps slightly, though appears to be rather satisfied with life, as if every step was bringing her life new meaning and purpose.
Personality: feels intense empathy for any and all living and nonliving things. Can't bear to see suffering, particularly needless suffering. Tends to tear up when taking away mortals that died young or without fulfilling their potential. Sees death as a necessary tool for the maintenance of harmony, though it doesn't mean she likes taking people away, particularly when they're good people, harmonious people.
Agenda: to create a world where life flourishes and true harmony and joy can exist, and that no mortal ever is in a position to deny others the right to a good life.
Spheres: Love, Harmony, Death.

Note that you can try to sign-up with already taken spheres, but, short of an excellent application, the second player with the spheres won't get in the game if I've already decided to accept the first. The second player won't be taking the first's spot, as I'll have already decided against taking the first if I'm considering the second.

Awwww... fixed.

Also this looks familiar.

I deny any and all accusations of blatant plagiarism.

[Dermonster]

As will I deny any allegations of repetition from said nonexistant plagarism.

[kj1225]

What about blatant paganism?

[Dermonster]

There isn't any.

[Nirur Torir]

Someone has well-earned his wisdom sphere.

[SomeStupidGuy]

This looks like it'll be fun.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Lord Argent
Appearance: A gaunt, tall human wearing numerous finely designed robes of silk and a simple silver mask. His head is completely shaved and portions of his skin seems to be cracked, revealing faintly shimmering gold beneath it.
Personality: Enterprising, secretive and businesslike. He prefers those that take a more delicate tact with regards to getting control, but certainly doesn't object to the usage of violence to reach one's goals. Actively avoids obvious 'miracles' preferring subtlety and seeing his worshipers climb to the top by their own means, which isn't to say he's entirely unwilling to give a little help to an industrious soul he's taken a liking to.
Agenda: He would like to see a single ruler- or family, possibly even a small council- have complete control over the entirety of the planet's governments. Said ruler must be willing to do most anything and cut down anyone to reach the top.
Spheres: Diplomacy, Industry and Ambition.

[Nirur Torir]

Currently in:
IronyOwl's Ar'kahal, who wants to see mortals overcome difficult challenges and, well,

Agenda: Ambitious, reckless magical power in the hands of mortals.

Dermonster's Auphanim, who wants to, er, "help people improve themselves."
Harry Baldman's Yon, a loving god of death and harmony.

The first two are ultimately a bit similar, but should prove fun. The above may post actions.

Sorry, sjm9876, but I didn't want 75% of the PCs to be too similar, and yours was the least interesting to me.
Kj1225, I don't understand how your spheres go with that.
Lord Argent, I think encouraging mortals to backstab each other to find the most fit for rule might be too similar to Derm's and IronyOwl's styles (And Ambition is now taken).

Those who didn't get in may try again; please post new sheets and leave the old ones there. I'd like something that will add more variety to what we have.

[Dermonster]

I may have worded that odd. I'm basically a god of transhumanism, or something similar.
