[Kilojoule Proton]

(Joha: -3 Essence)

Joha: You raise 300 wood elves in the vast forests of each planet.

(Azem: -2 Essence)

Azem: You create 300 Template Humans on world A. Perhaps, one day, their descendants will form a knightly order of some sort.

(Artisanii: -3 Essence)

Artisanii: You construct 300 Mantra distributed across various Museums and shrines and release your creations from being tied to any particular shrine and command them to spread art as they have before and assist the soon-to-be-created mortals.

Grauel: Some Gruen in a coastal Gruen village are deliberately adapting for undersea survival and consuming the gills of various fish. At this point, it is unclear whether they are trying to meet the Ritan or meat the Ritan. The Devourer is not due to arrive in this particular village for a fair amount of time.

(I don't know. Does your awakening condition trigger on the creation of Template Humanoids?)

(It's supposed to trigger when normal humans are created but if these Template Humans are just "practice" humans then it won't trigger.)

Make a domesticated combination of electric eels and a manta ray for the Ritan, to defend their borders from hostile creatures.

Make a domesticated combination of electric eels and a manta ray for the Ritan, to defend their borders from hostile creatures.

Chip in 1 essence.

The hunger isn't unexpected but the ingenuity displayed by the Gruen somewhat is. Regardless, I'd like to see them work for the meal if they plan to go that route. Perhaps they will decide of their own accord, whether or not trade is a better option.

Edit: Lack of sleep is making my writing come out all weird. Not sure if it's just in my head or not.

[Vgray]

(The template humans are completely normal in every way. It just costs less to create them first and then flood the worlds with thousands of them.)

[Kilojoule Proton]

(Serac: -1 Essence; Grauel: -1 Essence)

You expand a few thousand numbfishes by a factor of about 20 and enhance their electrical output to lethal levels in a ring around a group of Ritan settlements.

Tick 10: Natural novelties

In an attempt to finally create the 3 million humanoid mortals, Azem has decided to construct a small group of Template Humans. The council, at the time of the tick, has disbursed 2 Essence to cover the cost of an action done to execute the proposal. It is estimated that only Low 1-2 will be required to create the remainder of the moratals.

Joha, goddess of Life has awakened from the repeated creation of life! Her first act as a goddess is to create 300 wood elves for each planet and distribute them in the forests, much as wood be expected.

Kli has expanded the School of Balance, a mostly philosophical school founded independently by the Hummingbirds to increase understanding through debate. The primary changes he has introduced include the opening of the School to other races and a recommendation for an increased focus on Sacrifice. Not all of the members of the School agree with their patron's changes, but few can deny the usefulness of such a School. On Kli's recommendation, the Hummingbirds sent a scouting party to make contact with the Ritan. The initial meeting was tense, and the Ritan, anticipating more violence, kept their sharp rocks drawn. Fortunately, the Hummingbirds did not do anything to increase the Ritan's fears and some trade now exists between the two races.

Artisanii has created the Mantra, another race for (the chronically unnamed) World B. They resemble the Muses in appearance but are less durable and specialized. The Artisanii distribute the Mantra throughout the existing Museums and shrines and command all of their creations, previous and current, to take an active role in inspiring and assisting in the creation of art.

The Gruen have, following a large Experiment Feast, begun smaller-scale experimental feasts in an attempt to adapt to their surroundings. Some coastal Gruen have begun consumption directed at acquiring the ability to breathe underwater, although what this means for Ritan is still uncertain. Grauel, god of Hunger, has contributed to a project in which Serac expands large quantities of numbfish to manta ray size and increases their charge capacity in an effort to defend the Ritan.

The Light has taught agriculture and provided a demonstration on the use of tools for the Luminee, but it appears they only really needed the first lesson.

The dominant signs this half-tick are the Lance (World A), associated with lightning, speed, and cavalry, and Claw (World B), associated with the wilds, bare handed combat, and hunters. Whether this actually means something depends on who you ask.

Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Spoiler:  Yaos Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Yaos
Spheres: Humans; Ambition
Associated symbol: An androgynous human with wings
Primary forms (it changes every day, so there's no 'primary' as such): A young woman with golden hair and green eyes; a bearded old man with long white hair and white robes and red eyes; a young man with short yet wild black hair and red eyes
Description/Background: Born from the discussions of other gods and awakened by the creation of humans, Yaos is the god of Humans and Ambition. While she was in the form of a sleeping baby, no other beings - including gods - even knew of her existence. When she awakened she tried multiple different forms that she might present for her reveal and settled on the primary one she wears. She is a protector deity sworn to nurture the race known as 'humans' and protect them from destruction.

In the vast cosmos of space, a sleeping baby drifted by, all gods and beings entirely unaware of its existence. Then, the first humans were made.

Its eyes flew open. In seconds it grew to full adult size, a young man with short yet wild black hair and it had red eyes. Then, he became conscious of himself, and he knew he was a god.

"Aheeheehehehehehehe!"
"Ehehehehahahhaha!"
"AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"AHHHHAAHAAAHAAA!!!!"

"Ahhhh. Now. Time to reveal myself to the others. Hmmm...."
Then he changed to a bearded old man with long white hair and white robes and red eyes.
"Perhaps. Perhaps this form will do."
The god then changed to a young woman with golden hair and green eyes.
"Or maybe this one. Yes, this one will do, but I'll also need a name..."

*

"Greetings my fellow gods!" ^_^ "My name is Yaos, the God of Humans! I am very pleased to meet you all!" :D
