So which god are we?

Personally I voted for earth, but I would also downvote death if possible.

Wait, we aren't individually controlling each of our own Titans?
.....
Oh.

I had thought about doing this as a six player game but considering this is essentially my second real game and the first one didn't' get very far I didn't want to deal with running that sort of game on my first (hopefully) long-lasting game.
I'll vote for Nature.
Any preference on which of the forms to use?

I think he means which of the two appearances do you think would be best, I think.

Forms?
These are the two proposed forms for a Nature Titan.
A giant elephant-like creature with four tusks. It stands upright, and has the mane of a lion, and wings of an eagle. It's legs are wildebeest hooves, and has one central eye in the center of it's chest.
A large 4 legged creature, visibly similar to a turtle in appearance, but being mostly composed out of various forms of plant life, with the legs made mainly out of bark and clinging fungus, it's knees are formed from a oddly stretchy and durable cluster of vines, connecting the lower part of the leg to the upper part, the underside of its body, underneath the shell, has a large green crystal, which shines with a bright green light the more life is around it,with the top of its body, it's shell is mainly a massive amount of leaves encompassing a large root system below it, connecting the shell to the body, it's head is a dense cluster of dirt with a massive root system holding it toghether, it's eyes are two shining gems and the inside of its mouth has a large amount of bioluminescent fungus and bacteria, it can mostly communicate through telepathy, or control of other creatures temporarily.

Change my form top dirt held together with vast roots, with a skin of moss, and change my aspect to nature.

So
A2: Nature


A grand tree-and soil hound-like creature walking on four legs of twisted roots and bark. The front two legs are more like arms, ending in vast hands instead of hooves. A forest covers its back like fur on a beast, roots winding around and through our body. A ponderous head projects from the shoulders, with a short snout and three glistening crystalline eyes.

Ok Nature is locked in, you guys have until I finish finalizing your sibling's powers and forms to come to a consensus over your physical form. So if you think you have a really cool idea now is the time to lobby for it. Bonus points if you find a picture to use for your form.

A notice for going forward in this game: I don't count any -1 votes. For multiple reasons, first it complicates the counting of votes. This is the least important reason.

Second and much more importantly I feel it sets a rather negative tone. If you don't like someone's idea then put forth your own idea or upvote an idea you do like. If you think there is something wrong with someone's idea and you don't think it's a good one then write a reply that explains your reasoning to try and convince others to agree with you. I think that promotes both more discussion and a more creative/positive atmosphere. At the very least the person whose idea you don't like can see the reasons you don't like it and can try to alleviate your concerns or modify their idea. What exactly is somebody supposed to do with something as bland and thoughtless as a '-1'?



As a final note I found pictures for each of your siblings and I'm starting the write-up now. Since your form is easy enough to change in the update I'll extend the vote until I actually post the update.

Currently it is a tie between:

A grand tree-and soil hound-like creature walking on four legs of twisted roots and bark. The front two legs are more like arms, ending in vast hands instead of hooves. A forest covers its back like fur on a beast, roots winding around and through our body. A ponderous head projects from the shoulders, with a short snout and three glistening crystalline eyes.

And

A large 4 legged creature, visibly similar to a turtle in appearance, but being mostly composed out of various forms of plant life, with the legs made mainly out of bark and clinging fungus, it's knees are formed from a oddly stretchy and durable cluster of vines, connecting the lower part of the leg to the upper part, the underside of its body, underneath the shell, has a large green crystal, which shines with a bright green light the more life is around it,with the top of its body, it's shell is mainly a massive amount of leaves encompassing a large root system below it, connecting the shell to the body, it's head is a dense cluster of dirt with a massive root system holding it toghether, it's eyes are two shining gems and the inside of its mouth has a large amount of bioluminescent fungus and bacteria, it can mostly communicate through telepathy, or control of other creatures temporarily.

Fine, the description sounds kinda contradictory/vague. For instance, a 'ponderous head' with a short snout? How does that work? And if the front two legs are arms, then the creature would look more like an ape than a hound. Lastly, three eyes seems a bit silly to me. Four eyes? Sure. Eight eyes? Why not. But three just seems odd and wrong.

1. A "ponderous head" can be tall and wide, not just long. Think of bulldogs.

2. If the arms are small enough, it would look more like a hound than an ape, especially if the rest of the body is houndish.

3. What's wrong with "wrong"ness? We're not a natural creature. (Also, I don't see the issue. Lots of creatures have odd numbers of eyes. Some lizards have a third "eye" in the top of their head, and I only used quotes because it's a bit simpler than the two main ones.)

Ill see what I can cook up:
A4: nature

A large 4 legged creature, visibly similar to a turtle in appearance, but being mostly composed out of various forms of plant life, with the legs made mainly out of bark and clinging fungus, it's knees are formed from a oddly stretchy and durable cluster of vines, connecting the lower part of the leg to the upper part, the underside of its body, underneath the shell, has a large green crystal, which shines with a bright green light the more life is around it,with the top of its body, it's shell is mainly a massive amount of leaves encompassing a large root system below it, connecting the shell to the body, it's head is a dense cluster of dirt with a massive root system holding it toghether, it's eyes are two shining gems and the inside of its mouth has a large amount of bioluminescent fungus and bacteria, it can mostly communicate through telepathy, or control of other creatures temporarily.

1. Then say bulldog-like. Ponderous implies a bunch of things.
2. That image is just... it just doesn't work for me.
3. I was under the impression that we ARE a natural creature. More than that, we are THE natural creature.
