Create the Anchor Rock, an immovable planet in the void, formed of minerals of many sorts.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

Name: Rourk
Affinity/s (if any): Madness, Reason
Discord/s (if any): Unity, Order
Other Notes (appearance, personality, religious rites, whatever): Has the appearance of a great, grey winged wolf with two heads.  One head symbolises madness and destruction, while the other symbolises creation and reason.  The two heads are constantly at war with one another, fighting to become the dominant personality, yet the two are in constant balance.  Those who pray to him must be wary, as the two heads will offer opposite council, and one can never be sure which head is which.

Create an ocean, and be prepared to throw it violently at the first land mass that is formed.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Spawn race of spiderdemons from my unholy eggsac.  Give them a venom that spontaneously changes whatever creature is bitten.

I'll unleash them when the world is settled.

7And the Gods began creating. 8Discord created a great Bag Burrito, 8with great amounts of salsa, beans, and spice. 9And it was massive in size, and would have been delicious, had anyone eaten it. 10But it was uneaten, which is good as it likely would have inflicted massive heartburn on anyone to eat it. 11For this, Komote set him on fire. 12And Pisanrio made an explosion to try and make Komote feel small, but Komote laughed at the explosion and the Void Goblins it created. 13 The Void Goblins were small creatures with great beards, feasting on darkness but slain by light. 14Ort, the God of the Unliving, made a planet known as Anchor Rock out of stone and increased its inertia, so it would not move. 15Cromwell, the God of the Seas, created the ocean and threw it at Anchor Rock, submerging it entirely save for a dozen islands and islets. 16And the ocean began to turn to ice, for the universe was cold and silent. 17One of these was chosen by Nix, who rose from the seas and cast off an egg-sac. 18From the egg-sac came spiderwomen, with their rotting venom and their lack of males. 19And to fill the seas, Li made many kinds of life, above all the Kraken, larger than many islands and hungry, hungry. 20Yet, Li did not glow. For this, Ort comforted Him. 21Most incredibly of all, K'llzx created a being known as the Alone, another god, but a blinded one who could not see Creation. 22It was thus driven mad by loneliness...23More Gods entered the Universe, ready to Create.
--Volumes of Being: Volume I: The Book of Origins: Chapter 1: The Void: Verses 7-23

The Late Gods--still pouring in as the world is young--were created.

[2+1+1] Discord is set on fire by Komote. (-1 Power) [4+1] Pisanrio makes a massive explosion [1] and a race of void goblins, puny humanoid creatures with beards that live off of darkness and are killed by light. (-1 Power)
[5+1+1] K'llzx creates the Alone, a massive primordial deity that has been driven mad by being so alone...and it cannot perceive anything. (-5 Power)(Affinity Gained: Deities)(Discord Gained: Dexterity)
[4] Discord creates a Burrito. (-1 Power)
[2+1] Ort creates a small planet, Anchor Rock, so called because it is hard to move. (-3 Power)
[2] Li does not glow.
[3+1] Cromwell creates an ocean on Anchor Rock, covering it nearly completely. There are still a few islands, however. The ocean starts to freeze, due to the lack of any ambient source of heat. (-2 Power)
[5+1] Li creates the Kraken, a massive sea creature and the first life! It has nothing to eat and is starving and freezing. (-2 Power) [5+1+1] Li resolves the former issue with various sea-life being added! (-1 Power)
[5] Nix creates a race of spiderwomen [2] with a mildly necrotic venom on the largest island on Anchor Rock. They begin fishing.

Anchor Rock gives Ort Power for existing. Te Burrito gives Discord Power for existing. The Kraken gives Li Power for existing. The Ocean gives Cromwell Power for existing. The Spiderwomen give Nix Power for existing. The Void Goblins give Pisanrio Power for existing.

One thing I noticed: Power should never be a limiting factor. Most creations immediately give back as much as they cost.
Starting next turn, I'm doubling power costs until I can think of a better solution.

((And I just realized I accidentally misspelled Bang in my last action. I think it turned out better this way.))

Put Fieras and Komote on... ice, and create the Tragen, a race of sentient bears that fulfill Russian stereotypes, including an insatiable desire for vodka. Place them Island B, and give them the items and the knowledge required to produce vodka.

((At the beginning of each turn, I'll roll a dice for which head takes precedence   1-3 = madness     4-6 = reason))

Rolled: 4  - Reason it is.

Rourk looked upon the creations of the other gods, and found a problem.  He saw them shivering, trying to get warm in the neverending cold.  He also saw there was no light, so the creatures had to forever stumble in darkness, never to see one another.  He aimed to change that.

Create a small sun in orbit around the anchor rock, that is close enough to light up the planet, and warm it, but far enough away that it doesn't burn them all to a crisp.

Then, if I can perform another action, create a race of sentient beings known as the guardians that safeguard the planet from harm, and protect the creatures on it.  They are magical in nature, with humanoid forms stretched out, so they are long in limb.  Their skin is scaled.  They can float using their magics, and heal others.  They reside of island D, but they tend to stray from their home, to safeguard the other areas of the planet. 


(also, why do I have three discords, yet two affinities?)

Give my daughters the ability to breathe and survive underwater.  Then command them to go after the kraken.

Create the Scream. A phenomenon that causes sentient creation to hear My Voice, and worship me. It is the ebb and flow of the void. Twisting and turning. It washes over creation, and is the cause of all paranoia and anxiety.

(Do we lose if we run out of power? Also: I created an NPC God in the first turn!)

Create a second planet in orbit of the star with less water. (Anywhere between 60% and 20% of its surface area should be ocean. I'm aiming for the halfway point, 40%.) Use extra power.

Is it a typo or intentional that I start with 11 Power? I noticed Komote has 11, too. Is this something to do with the Fire affinity?
