Name: Kenneth "Ebullius" Jackson

Aspect: Water

Appearance: when encountered elsewhere, Kenneth tends to be a man in a pinstripe gray woolen suit with a pink shirt and a black and red striped tie, somewhat handsome, though difficult to immediately place by appearance alone when encountered. Here Kenneth has decided (very graciously, given the short notice he had, he'll have you know) to appear as Ebullius, a concept he came up with during a coffee break when he realized that most of the gods here had an animal motif. Said concept manifests as him wearing a surprisingly lifelike (with a bit of an uncanny valley effect, even) otter costume, with swirly, slightly glowy cornflower blue patterns marking him out as slightly unusual together with equally cornflower blue and glowy eyes (quite expensive to obtain on such short notice on a costume like this, he'll have you know), very much distracting from the well-concealed double-sealed zipper.

Personality: very confident in his abilities, sociable, reasonably well-versed on many divine topics (which he had to familiarize himself with on the ride here), has made very sure to memorize the files on the other Aspects. Greatly values efficiency, cooperation (especially the kind where people cooperate with him on achieving his goals), synergy and lack of backchat. Isn't really committed to playing out the whole Ebullius thing, and tends to simply go into his standard go-getter office attitude. Not a big fan of principles, believes that ends justify means. Tends to go for the leader position, kind of a motormouth, and often vocalizes his thoughts when in the company of others to illuminate his thinking process to the uninformed.

Goals: to create a more synergistic, controlled (rather than antagonistic) relationship between the gods and get things done as efficiently as possible. Also to make sure that water has a majority stake in life and life-related processes, surface geology and climate regulation, possibly other things as well.

Once more, try to help Firak make his cape

Turn 6: Tangled


Keep working on the cape! We can do better then this!
"I never imagined weaving was this difficult when I took on this form."

Once more, try to help Firak make his cape
[5+1] Yaaaaaaaaay! Puppy finally gets a cape. An entirely too large cape that he'll almost assuredly get tangled in.


"Finally something works the way I want it to." Aquilos says, appraising the wind currents. He looks around after getting an ominous feeling and spots the glass ball. "What is that? Did any of you make that? I sure didn't, but I wish I had. It looks interesting." He remarks, moving closer to the ball.

Go check out that glass orb.
[6] Fascinating. The glass is fairly thick, and the "frost" effect seems to glow with a very lifelike energy. You get the feeling it's related to Firak somehow.


Go with Aquilos to the sphere. Inspect it.
No, I did not make this. It is strange, and requires further investigation. I will allow you my assistance in this matter.
Enkisar follows Aquilos to the orb.
[2] Shiny!


"Ahh, now THERE'S a sphere fit for a god to dwell on! It just needs a bit of warming up first..."

Head over to the glass orb and heat it up.
[2] You heat it up, but not to any noticeable extent.


Investigate the orb with the other gods.
[5] There's a thing stuffed in this orb. It looks like a pinkish long-legged crab.


Flopping.... Flopping was fun!

Rassura continues to flop!
[3] You flop, but not very convincingly.


[6-1] The thing inside the glass orb slips free and vanishes.


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Expansion/Clarification to all Aspect powers: You may now create anything related to your sphere, even if it also involves something outside your sphere. A Fire Aspect can make a planet so long as it's volcanic or otherwise fire-related, a Water Aspect can make life so long as it's aquatic or otherwise involves water, an Air Aspect can breathe death gasses, and so on.

((Does that mean I can make a whirlpool in an already existing body of water? Whirlpools are fun, and kinda chaotic. I'm not even gonna ask about giving living things mental disorders... Or LSD.))

Rassura tries to make it to the ball of water, so she can spin in a circle! Whirlpool time! What's in the middle?!

"What are you hiding in the center of this orb?!"

I'm not really seeing it. A whirlpool is just a swirl of water, essentially. Where's the chaos in that?

((When things get sucked into it, but I get what you're saying. Although I guess there's nothing to suck into it yet.))

((Looks like I need to find ways to cause insanity whenever we get some decent lifeforms. Hooray, the best kind of chao- wait, Firak and Mort may be able to make zombies.))

I think we may need to have a talk about your motivations and goals. Right now it seems like your current plan is "Wait around for someone else to create life, make it insane."

If so, that's... not a great motivation.

((It's not, but I'm hitting a brick wall when it comes to things [that I'm able] to do. Other than pushing things into each other, which, really, I dunno how chaotic that would be. I mean, the earth orb needs to be bigger before I push it into the water orb, but that'll make a planet. If I push it towards the sun, it'll orbit it. Seems kinda more like "order" or "nothing at all" to me.))

((You could try mucking with everyone else's stuff, but that would probably too stereotypical of Chaos. Not to mention annoying. You might try creating random lumps on the spheres. I'm not sure. Chaotic is a tough one.))
