Turn 13: "Overboard""Rassura I don't see how I wouldn't agree to your request.
Get the attention of the other gods. "Excuse me my fellow gods and godesses. I must ask if you could all work together to make a planet with a rocky surface as well as some water covering a certain amount of its surface. Molten cores are a must have. And an atmosphere. Yes sounds right."
Sounds interesting enough. I will make the planet.
Enkisar creates the stony planet combined with a molten metal core, with room for the oceans.
"What's this? Do I smell synergy?"
Float on over to Enkisar and work on that planet with him! Feature wishlist includes a rich supply of groundwater (pressurized and normal), geysers, hot springs, mineral springs, small oceans, large lakes, both freshwater and saltwater, glaciers in appropriate regions, a veritable load of rivers and more! Go nuts on the water, basically.
"Mr. Enkisar, don't forget the mountains, hills and various plutonic and volcanic formations! We do need variety around here! Granted, the glaciers ought to help with that, but we'll see."
"Ah, subtlety is overrated anyway. Let's try something a bit more impressive."
Aid Enkisar in the making of his planet by adding deathmists. These would be small, local clouds of mist that appear during the night, gradually absorbing the lifeforce of all beasts/creatures who are caught within. Hiding inside/under something defends from the mist.

The thing you create is massive, easily the size of a small gas giant. It might be described as a planet, but where a planet might be composed of rock or gas, this thing possesses stacked layers of heat-radiating copper, water, and life-sapping mist, all spinning with the planet's rotation at speeds according to their depth. With each layer missing sections, this makes for a complex but predictable pattern of exposure and concealment for each section in relation to the other sections.
"No, it's perfectly fine, small... Crab. Please, use my power as you see fit for the time being. I'm rather curious as to what you'll manage to do."
Rassura stays in the cage, waiting to see what this little guy will do. Maybe he'll be her friend? Or make her a nice hat!
Turning to... Polar-bear guy, Rassura does her best to nod.
"I suppose I see where you're coming from. You handle order, yes? Seeing as I'm going to stay in this cage to let this little guy go to work, do you think you could convince the others to work together for once? Large, stone planet, water covering a large portion of it's surface - not all of it, of course - with a molten core? And an atmosphere? With... Plants, yes? It seems like a good start."
"Yay!"
[3-1] It adds a little throne to the top of your cage.
((The wind only nurtures life, it doesn't create it where there is none.))
"Gee, seems someone is a...little crabby. I was trying to say you had a nice hat." Aquilos attempts to explain to the crab before turning his attention to Firalk. "Hey Firalk, you mind helping me with those squid things now?" He asks the small wolf.
Get started on making those floaty squid things on the gas giant I made. The ones with the gas bladders so they can float and the tentacles made of smaller, more dextrous filaments so they can manipulate things. Make sure they are intelligent.
Sapient gas krakens on the gas giant. Also make a bunch of other floaty fish things for a food chain.
((Bold, people. Nearly missed this assistance action. Is this an assistance action? I assume so, but it's not especially clear.))
[5+1] You aaaaaaaalmost get away with making floating intelligent squid before an inopportune surge of life bloats them into something a bit different. Their gas sacs become rather large, numerous, and external, warping their shape away from squids and more into floating organic clusters, and their tentacle bundles end up sticking out whichever way they can. This results in a set of "main" tentacles formed from several close clusters on the bottom, and myriad smaller, more isolated bundles jutting out at random from the rest of them.
On the bright side, they're maliciously intelligent and possess very large beaks.
Roiling ball of fire streaked with shifting bands of superheated wind and condensed water vapor.
Spherical shell of dense gas surrounding a thin soup of much thinner gasses.
Large patch of wind around the airball and fireball.
Ostrioth. Massive solid rock planet. Soulsucking void for a core, which has adverse effects on life depending on distance. Writhing, grasping atmosphere of life-eroding vapors fueled by numerous massive volcanoes. Soulsucking properties and atmosphere both trapped beneath a layer of insulating water. Jagged gas-shrouded volcanic islands jut from the sea, radiating heat and atmosphere.
Rare giant black stick insect like things. They're attracted to souls, and try to harvest them with two short feeler-like things as they pass into the planet's surface. Erratic cracks in their carapace glow red with heat when they're successful at devouring some soulstuff. Were more common before most of them were smashed asunder.
Wind of Change, universe-spanning winds that nurture and evolve whatever they touch.
Echoing polar bear roar of order.
Purple. Violet "gas" giant, chalk core. "Atmosphere" is a mixture of water, ice, and more traditional gasses and particles. A little turbulent.
Asexually reproducing neverborn microbes. They feed off dirt and air.
Very dense world of compacted volcanic rock, filigreed with lines from the joining and compression of various areas. Has a boiling atmosphere and an incandescent but stable iron core.
Huge gas giant with a dense gas core and a turbulent lighter atmosphere. A single storm of mammoth proportions slowly migrates across its surface.
Bulbous gas-filled tentacle-things. Tentacles composed of smaller filaments, with multiple bundles working together to form larger tentacles. Maliciously intelligent, and in possession of rather large beaks.
Dusty beige moon.
"Planet" easily the size of a small gas giant. Where a planet might be composed of rock or gas, this thing possesses stacked layers of heat-radiating copper, water, and life-sapping mist, all spinning with the planet's rotation at speeds according to their depth. With each layer missing sections, this makes for a complex but predictable pattern of exposure and concealment for each section in relation to the other sections.
Pretty translucent photosynthetic space eels, space carp, and space sharks with multicolored glowing organs. The carp eat and are worse at photosynthesis than the eels. The sharks eat and are worse at photosynthesis than the carp or eels. The eels are playful and curious, and make cute songlike chirping noises. Eels are fond of Vanhurk. Avoid Purple.
Handful of living space fires that hunt and burn living things to death in order to release their souls. Very pretty and majestic.
((By my count everyone but our Fire and absent Water Aspects answered the questions, so... make a wish! It might not come out exactly like you planned...))
