Territory:The First Forest1
Poor Entrance
(damaged)- A rough-looking entrance into the cavern system beneath the
First Forest (Currently blocked off)1
Poor Medium-sized Den
(damaged)- A rough-looking Den for your Titan to rest in and receive visitors. It is currently large enough for you to maneuver around in.
6
Good Large Caverns(Unassigned)- A large underground cavern of good craftsmanship, capable of housing a small ecosystem. It is currently empty.
1 The Grand Tree(unfinished)- A giant tree whose base starts far below ground, it rises up out of a giant hole in the earth. At the base of the hole are tunnels into the cavern network, creating another entrance into your base. Currently it's trunk at the base of the tree is as wide as you are and the upper most branches barely rise above the trees surrounding it.
1 Sinkhole- You probably want to fix this or do something with it. It's frankly depressing staring at your mistake.

Aether: The primordial energy of creation. The usage of this energy is extremely difficult and one of the requirements of being a god.
Divine Mastery (DM): The level of control you have over your concept. You start the game with Master level DM in your chosen concept. The ranks are Unranked(0), Neophyte(1), Novice(2), Able(3), Adept(4), Expert(5), Master(6), Grandmaster(7), and Perfect(8 ).
Gaea: The world on which everything lives. It is not sentient in any way and has only a basic will that takes the form of what we would call 'physics'. This is formed from the relationships between concepts that were established in Gaea's creation.
God: A powerful being who gathers strength from worship and can manipulate Aether. They are fluid existences who are shaped by the belief of their worshipers.
Titan: A primordial being created from a huge gathering of aether that began manipulating and gathering other concepts rather then morphing to become a concept itself. This led to awareness and eventually intelligence.
The Wellspring: The fount of aether that existed before time and is responsible from the creation of the concepts Gaea is built upon.

Traits:UnknownPowers:Air - MasterSkills:Social - ExpertSense Divine - AdeptExploration - ExpertMusician - NoviceForm: A large feathered serpent with four wings. It's head is like that of an eagle with an amethyst gem set on the crown of it's head. The back of its head is crowned with long white feathers and interspersed are several large peacock-like amethyst feathers. It is very nimble and very quick though not particularly strong or durable. It has excellent vision and can produce birdsong from it's sharply hooked beak.
First Species - Primfant / Primfantes
Idea by cheesemcmuffin88
A small corgi sized insect. It has the characteristic head-thorax-abdomen body design of insects and looks very much like the current earth ant. It posses an adaptable coloration in its carapace that allows it to change color in a generation to one more suitable for it's habitat. Reproduction is handled by a mating pair of a 'Queen' and a 'King'. The Queen is able to produce 8-10 eggs per fertilization and spends most of its time nurturing the young and directing the young Primfantes development by careful oversight of the larva's diet. The colony's second figure head is the King; the only male member who, unlike the queen, serves more of a purpose of directing the colony's actions outside the nest by manipulating pheromones. Colony size maxes out at about a hundred members after which point the Queen will set off a certain reaction during reproduction that gives birth to Queen and King castes. After the new King and Queen members mature they set off to find breeding members of other nests to mate with and establish a territory, accompanied by an honor guard from their own nests. The Primfantes are omnivorous and have a very complicated system of instincts that cause them to transplant edible plants to richer low land soil to promote growth as well as herding pastoral animals towards better "pastures" so that the Primfantes may eat more poop which they eat as well. If the King decides that the present food levels grow too low he releases a pheromone that tells the rest of the colony to switch into raiding mode. While in raiding mode the Primfantes gather into large raid groups and invade the territory of other Primfantes. During the raid the raiders release large amounts of their colonies' identification pheromone to scare off their victims. When raided the Primfantes will smell the strength of the enemy's pheromones and by the size of the signal will decide whether to retreat or contest the raid by sending out their own signal. When one party decides that the enemy signal is too strong they will retreat, it is exceptionally rare for any actual combat to take place.
This describes the ways you can develop your character and how to do so. Note that because this is a sandbox game it is highly likely that you will think of a way to develop your Titan that I haven't thought of yet. In that case simply state your idea and ask if it is possible and I will respond.
Concepts/Abilities: These are also called domains by some other games and are basically your powers as a Titan. The more narrow the concept the easier it is to rank up your Divine Mastery in that ability. For example if you were the Air Titan and decided to try and add Water to your portfolio then you would take X amount of effort to try and rank up your Water DM. However if you intentionally narrowed it down to Rain rather then Water in general you would only need 1/5X to rank up your Rain DM. Naturally you couldn't control the ocean or rivers with Rain but you could develop your control over rain/clouds/storms etc much faster than you would if you tried to grab everything at once.
Abilities are all individual. By that I mean that just because God A is the god of War doesn't mean that he is the ONLY god of War. God B can pick up war as one of his concept abilities regardless of God A, because God A doesn't have any divine right or absolute control over War; War as a concept exists outside of God A and God A's DM of War just indicates how good he is at manipulating it. However if God A has focused more of his effort on the concept of War and has a DM of 6(Master) in war while God B is only starting and has a DM of 2 (Novice) in war, then any direct conflict between them that uses War will be won by God A as he has more skill in manipulating the concept.
Aether: Aether is basically a material that you can gather to use with your divine abilities to enhance them as a single use, or you can use on yourself to enhance yourself. Exact numbers will be hammered down over the course of this quest but in general Aether will be pretty difficult to get. As an example of something you could do with Aether:
Let's say you are the Titan of Earth. You haven't been around long and Gaea is still very young. One of your siblings mentioned that they saw a not-Titan form recently and use a massive amount of effort to create some tiny (to you) bipedal animals before falling asleep. Your sibling says these animals are strange and appear much smarter than the animals your other sibling made. They also seemed to have built some sort of artificial hill at the not-Titans resting place and somehow seem to be helping him wake up faster. This all sounds strange but you think they might be some sort of servants for the not-Titan.
This seems like a pretty good idea to you and so you decide to make some servants of your own, but like, WAAAY better. Instead of a bunch of tiny things you decide to make servants more fitting to your size and design 12 beings you decide to call Colossus out of earth. However to make them intelligent enough to be servants they will need a spark of divine essence, which you could donate from yourself. To do that though would tire you greatly (probably what happened to the not-Titan) and so you decide dig into your massive stockpile of Aether, much more than any of your siblings have(a point of pride). You decide to spend six out of the seven points worth of Aether you have stored up to invest into these Colossi, enough to not only give them life but to give them power enough to be helpful to you. {1d100 = 91 Great Success} With this act you create 12 powerful servants, each with a DM rank of 3(able) in Earth and 2(Able) in one other concept known to you decided on an individual basis.
What the Aether did there was allow the Titan to create 12 extremely powerful god-like beings subordinate to you within a few years and without the need for any rest afterwards. Despite creating something that could easily wipe out the humans that the God created it will be quite awhile before that god wakes up and you are still active. That is the power of Aether.
Alternatively since he had 7 Aether the Titan could have ranked up his Earth DM from Master(6) to Grandmaster(7) which would give him much more power over Earth and essentially ensure his dominance over Earth in the early game because Gods can only spawn with a max rank of Master and it would be a long time before any God could get enough worshipers and practice to rank up to equal the Titan in that field.
