The void beckons, and entities answer its call. Gods, ready to make worlds and life, people and places, cities and ruins.

However, not every god is suited to every task. The gods that answer are hulking, formless things, abominations with no ties to reality; to affect the world, they will need to shed some of their cumbersome power. For every Mantle of raw might they shed, the universe is made richer and their finesse and connections to the world grows; for every Mantle they take up, their power grows as their subtlety and connections to reality diminish.

The void beckons, and the gods answer it. But it is not just their actions and desires that will shape existence, but their decisions and resolve on themselves.

Spoiler: Actions and Experience (click to show/hide)

Roll	Chance	Name	Effects
20	5	CRIT!	Unique Effect. The work gains some quality that radically alters its function, usually in a manner that is difficult or impossible to reproduce.
17-19	15	Bonus	Positive Effect. The work gains a concrete benefit above its normal status.
11-16	30	Good	Flavorful Effect. The work gains minor embellishments to form and function.
5-10	30	Poor	Bland Effect. The work is functional but uninteresting and plain.
2-4	15	Malus	Negative Effect. The work gains a concrete penalty below its normal status.
1	5	FAIL!	Unique Effect. The work gains some quality that radically alters its function, usually in a manner that is difficult or impossible to reproduce.

Most actions use the above table. Additionally, CRIT! results grant +2 XP, while Bonus results grant +1 XP. See below for details.

Size	Power
Huge	Rare
Large	Uncommon
Medium	Normal
Small	Lacking
Tiny	Inert

Most works, including modifications to existing creations, have Size and Power ratings.

Size indicates a creation's relative size or frequency; typically this means size for celestial bodies and how numerous something is for living works. Note that in the case of living things, this is relative to a creature's biological niche; rats are not of lower Power and greater Size than wolves simply because they are weaker and more numerous, because rats are filling in a role where that is to be expected. Wolves as common as rats, on the other hand, would probably require a grossly increased Size rating.

Power indicates something's potential or energy; typically this implies a creation's abilities and the quality of products made from it. Power levels greater than Normal tend to give a work magical abilities; levels lower tend to imply deficits in mundane qualities. Inert bears, for instance, would probably have useless claws, poor senses of smell, hides that couldn't be used for anything, lack the ability to swim, and otherwise be generally useless to both themselves and everything else. Rare bears, on the other hand, might have the ability to see the future, hides that could not be cut by any blade, or other such fantastic powers.

All works begin as Medium and Normal by default. There are two methods to increase these categories. The first is to lower the other stat to compensate; for instance, to create a Rare Power rating would require dropping a work's Size to Tiny.

The second method is to spend XP. XP may only be spent on works matching one of your Spheres or on Unmantling events, but each point spent may increase one category by one level. For instance, spending 3 XP could increase a work from Normal Medium to Large Rare.


Not all creations may be created by all gods. See the spoiler below for details.

Spoiler: Mantling and God Types (click to show/hide)

Not all gods are of equal stature and finesse. The relative tier of a deity has a profound impact on what creations it can make and change.

When a god wishes to descend to a lower level, it does so through a process known as Unmantling. Unmantling has no cost, and the process creates a work that cannot be reproduced otherwise. Furthermore, Unmantling grants the god a Sphere related to the Unmantled work, which allows that god to spend XP to empower future works of that Sphere.

Ascending to a higher level, on the other hand, requires 2 XP and the sacrifice of one of the god's Spheres.

All gods begin the game as Abominations.


Abomination
Formless entities of writhing potential, abominations are not truly of the world and thus have difficulty affecting it. They are noteworthy for their ability to physically move celestial bodies around, however.

The Unmantling of an Abomination typically produces a celestial body- a planet, moon, sun, asteroid belt, constellation, and so on.


Titan
Hulking entities of elemental purpose and boundless power, titans are creatures of the earth and sky and thus able to sculpt either at will. They can create and alter regions, but only in sweeping terms- "cool swamps" or "jagged mountains," not "coniferous forests" or "venomous badlands."

The Unmantling of a Titan typically produces a sapient race.


Spirit
Towering entities of vital essence, spirits are creatures of life and thus able to mold it on a whim. They can create and alter life, but only specific life- "Tallwood Trees" rather than "forests" or "a variety of poisonous conifers." They also cannot properly create sapient life, though they have some ability to alter existing mortals.

The Unmantling of a Spirit typically produces a flourishing civilization.


Patron
Imposing entities of divine arrogance, patrons are creatures of civilization and thus able to influence them deeply. They can create and alter the qualities of a civilization, granting them technologies and expertise, directing them to expand or consolidate, and manipulating their values and culture. They must, however, be somewhat specific with these gifts- "teaching metalworking" rather than "encouraging industry."

The Unmantling of a Patron typically produces a heroic individual.


Ascendant
Humble entities of scheming purpose, ascendants are creatures of mortal affairs and thus adept at manipulating them. They can freely interact with individual mortals and their works, coercing and befriending them, procuring objects and information, and aiding and opposing them in direct, personal terms. Their divine power when doing so is limited, however, and as usual they must be rather specific with their manipulation.

Ascendants do not typically Unmantle further. Doing so puts them at great risk, but the effects of reducing themselves to a more or less mortal champion can be surprisingly powerful and deeply personal.

Spoiler: Areas and Organization (click to show/hide)

Size	Realms
Tiny	1
Small	2
Medium	4
Large	6
Huge	8

Obviously, most works will take place on a celestial body of some sort- typically a planet or moon, but sometimes something more peculiar. The size of a celestial body determines how many Realms it contains.

Realms are vast, typically fairly self-contained areas. They are generally large enough to contain multiple continents, empires, climates, and other vast features, but small enough that these features have some reasonable potential to interact with each other. This potential needn't actually materialize, particularly for smaller or more insular peoples and creatures.

Contact between Realms, on the other hand, is usually difficult, dangerous, and rare, even for relatively gregarious cultures and entities. When Realms are aware of each other at all, it's usually as exotic, semi-mythical places "beyond the sea" or similar.

Note that Realms have no Size category, and are thus ineligible for increased Power ratings by decreasing their size.


Finally, Realms typically contain a great number of Regions, which are areas homogeneous enough in terrain, climate, and so forth to make referring to them as a coherent area useful. Their exact size varies, even within Size categories, but a mortal kingdom could typically fit mostly inside a single Medium Region, or extend across several.

Encyclopedia

Spoiler: Celestial Objects (click to show/hide)

Dark Star, Glory of Dominus
A large, if plain, red star.

Golden Pulse, Star of Da'at
A gentle golden star. Its temperature and brightness vary in a slow, gentle cycle, but the difference between its extremes is rather severe.

The Ark, the Primeval Forest World
A primeval, if plain, forest world orbiting Dark Star at a fair distance. In a binary system with Flow. Almost no light reaches the ground, and the planet is fairly temperate.

Flow, the Oasis World
A rocky desert world speckled with oases and shot through with rivers, orbiting the Dark Star at a fair distance. In a binary system with Ark. The normally constrained water sometimes forms beautiful rolling mists that bring moisture to areas that otherwise remain parched. Gets cold at night and on mountain tops.

Divine Barrier, Malice and Heat
Transparent barrier around Ark and Flow. Slightly raises the temperature of things inside, as well as blocking the entry or exit of anything save light or heat. This includes vengeful souls, feelings of malice, and so on, leading to some interesting accumulation problems.

The Kuron, Writhing Cavern World
[Small][Uncommon]
A mossy brain-looking world orbiting Golden Pulse, riven with canyons and riddled with caverns and deeper, darker passages. Also riddled with earthquakes and cave-ins, owing to its rather excessively hollowed out structure.


Sundancer, Eater of Light
A gargantuan space cicada. Dances around Beacon and Golden Pulse in an elaborate pattern, sometimes eclipsing them from the worlds around them. Can devour heat and light by flapping its wings, further adding to its ability to blot out the sun. Chitin attempts to resist and dislodge anything but Planner.

Spoiler: Regions (click to show/hide)

The Stormy Sea, Wrath of Alerama
A stormy ocean on Ark. Packed with giant trees below water and, near the shore, emerging from water.

The Maze, Gateway to Adventure
[Small][Uncommon]
Small, twisting mountain range on Flow, riven with waterworks and frequently shrouded in mists. Those who wander into it searching for something else tend to end up somewhere else on Flow.

Whispering Caves, Transcendent Sponge
[Tiny][Rare]
Brilliant white crystalline caves on Kuron, complete with leafy brilliant white crystalline plants. The whole thing acts as a strainer on mystical forces, condensing otherwise invisible or weak effects into stronger, more tangible results. The caves themselves are open to manipulation by cunning creatures that know how.

Kishvar Woods, Writhing Beauty
Writhing, colorful forest of mobile chitinous plants on Kuron. The plants vie for attention and space, sporting vibrant colors, catchy movements, and endless determination. As might be expected of plants, they cannot move very quickly, however.

Spoiler: Noteworthy Individuals (click to show/hide)

Soulflare
A Death Beetle familiar attached to the void-cat's arm. It grants her limited powers of the dead similar to, but much stronger than, those of a typical elder Death Beetle. It appears to be considerably more intelligent and lively than a regular Death Beetle.

Quirlomphthilus, Natarki Veiler
A Natarki skilled in concealing presences. Friend and companion of the cat-thing.

Spoiler: Sapient Races (click to show/hide)

Glorious, Stardwellers
Long-lived beings of light and heat living on Dark Star. They are imposing, vaguely demonic-shaped creatures of cowing light and oppressing heat, with arrogant personalities to match. The greatest of them can focus this power in order to catapult themselves onto other worlds as shooting stars, though the lack of light and heat to feed on at their destinations tends to make this an exhausting one-way trip.

Shards, Bubbles of Thought
[Medium][Uncommon]
Termite hive minds living on Ark. Neurotic and paranoid about the makeup of their current hive, and therefore consciousness, as well as about isolation or mingling of groups. Composed of very diverse castes, which the hive's intellect is usually able to wield with considerable proficiency.

Djinn, River Nymphs
[Medium][Uncommon]
Soft-skinned, amphibious humanoids living on Flow. Their blood is a source of magical power. Upon becoming Elders, they go through a transformation, gaining a tough, rocky shell that protects them from drying out, some magical prowess, and an insatiable hunger for the flesh of their younger kind. Some Djinn are born as Illuminators, which possess the ability to hamper the usual transformation of those around them into Elders, but still allow them a modicum of control over the powers of their blood. Illuminators are usually not very well-liked.

Lumen, Brilliant Guardians
[Small][Uncommon]
Muscular four-armed humanoids living on Ark. They have innate defensive light-based powers, and usually rove in small groups, defending the weak wherever they go. They suffer from horrifying nightmares of the Godborn, and must wrestle constantly with their fear for their own lives and shame at potentially letting others die. They often practice meditation to calm and reflect on themselves and their fears, which aids with both the nightmares and other troubles.

Verna, Primal Changelings
Hulking beings of plant material living on Ark. They can alter their forms a bit, and use this to help acquire food from local plantlife.

Natarki, Endless Minds
[Medium][Uncommon]
Rubbery tentacled creatures living on the Kuron. Their upright bodies are supported by a ring of tentacle legs, with a ring of tentacle arms further up, and a head sporting a ring of eyes. Their mouths sit atop their heads, and their brains lie within their main bodies, protected by a ribcage-like structure. They are highly talented at magical and psionic pursuits, but sensitive to the whispers from beyond, leading to frequent mental illness and eccentricity. They have a sort of native familiarity with the Kuron and its myriad passageways. A staggeringly rare few are able to cocoon themselves and grow into massive, mutated forms with unfathomable psychic power.

Rifths, Kingdoms of One
Glowing plantlike tentacles that can weld onto each other in order to form a coherent entity. Tend to combine delusions of grandeur with the conviction that everyone is out to get them, resulting in a lot of indignant villain speeches.

Spoiler: Civilizations (click to show/hide)

Rootrip, Brutal Scholars
Verna civilization on Ark, most notably the Stormy Sea. Obsessed with higher learning and communication, but brutal and callous in their pursuit of knowledge in all its forms. They can work metal seamlessly into their own flesh. They can temporarily and partially meld with each other, allowing incredibly natural and intimate communication. They value innovation in their tools, frequently experimenting with peculiar and questionable devices made from the screaming parts of careless plants and animals kept alive by virtue of being merged with the Verna's own body.

Currently off-balance due to largely inhabiting an ocean.

Empire of the Eternal Spring, Roiling Order
Djinn civilization on Flow. Organized into a rigid hierarchy based on caste and separated into Houses based on relation to active Elders. Intelligent or inventive members tend to also be valued and therefore protected against being eaten. Familiar, if not necessarily enthusiastic, with blood-based medicine. Practice grim ritual blood magic, storing and preserving it in great vats with a lot of unpleasant connotations to them.

Lineages of Kuron, Eccentric Aspiration
Natarki civilization on the Kuron. Organized around those few Natarki that have ascended into a much grander form, with most Natarki following and attempting to in some manner emulate a given patron. Occasionally domesticate animals, usually for eccentric and not altogether useful purposes.

Trees of Light, Cooperation of Cultures
Shard, Verna, and Lumen civilization on Ark. The Shards benefit from having someone to talk to and mediate inter-Shard relations, the Verna benefit from the supernatural qualities of their neighbors, and the Lumen benefit from having people to protect and talk about their nightmares with.

Lumen Civilization, Slaves to Light
Lumen civilization obsessed with Cathedral Cores. They prefer to build their villages inside them, where the Cores slowly bend them to their will. A combination of both influences encourages them to manually plant Cathedral Core spores whenever and wherever possible.

Spoiler: Terrestrial Monsters (click to show/hide)

Malakim
[Tiny][Rare]
Giant mechanical demigods roaming designated areas of Flow. They protect their areas and their ecosystems fiercely, but tolerate Djinn and other humanoids so long as they don't cause too much damage. They are magically proficient and powered by both magic and sunlight.

Godborn
[Tiny][Rare]
Gargantuan divine grasshoppers living on Ark. They possess voracious appetites, routinely devouring giant trees in a matter of minutes, and begin to gain minor mutations when near each other. Over time, these mutations build up, as do their numbers, eventually culminating in an apocalyptic swarm of ever-mutating locusts that shear the planet clean before turning on each other. Each Godborn, mutated or not, carries with it a divine spark, and is monstrously powerful as a result.

Sunlight Rocs
Giant birds of tangible light living on Ark. They hunger endlessly for battle, and can "warp" themselves to other sources of light at incredible speeds. It's possible to bond with one if you can avoid being eaten, at which point it will warp when called and assault worthy adversaries in the vicinity, as well as descending for food and other favors, or just to assault worthy adversaries in the vicinity anyway.

Spoiler: Creatures of Void (click to show/hide)

Voidspawn
[Tiny][Rare]
Obsidian winged spider-terrors stalking the void between celestial bodies. They hunger endlessly for divine power, and regularly stalk deities to siphon a bit off. Their webs and venom are strong enough to inconvenience gods, but they will turn on and feast on each other in times of desperation. They are also relentless hunters of anything and everything else, being able to draw sustenance from this sacred act as well.

Aether Whales
Gigantic whale-like creatures floating through the atmosphere of Ark. They store air inside themselves, heating it with sunlight to float. They feed on negative emotions, foul spirits, and other detritus from Ark's barrier, and leave behind Slumberlight as a waste product. Slumberlight looks pretty and dissolves into normal light after a while.

Whisperwings
[Small][Uncommon]
Colored winged wisp-things inhabiting the void. Their translucency washes out much of their color. They feed primarily on sunlight, but can consume inanimate matter. They are large enough and shaped as to be able to carry a single creature safely across the void.

Hellstars
[Small][Uncommon]
Titanic bundles of spikes, glowing an ominous red, surrounded by ominous storms, and crackling with occasional ominous lightning. They attract bad karma, vengeful souls, and other negative forces via a gravity effect that grows stronger the more they hold onto, and which forms the storms surrounding them. They slowly metabolize this energy, producing their ominous glow as a side effect.

Spoiler: Magical Beasts (click to show/hide)

Death Scarabs
[Small][Uncommon]
Transparent, glasslike beetles living in The Whispering Caverns. They feed upon the plant life there, absorbing the ability to channel the energies of the dead. Older beetles begin displaying memories of those long passed, images flittering across their transparent carapaces, whispers lurking at the edge of their chittering, and scents lingering where they have been.

Herd Lobsters
[Large][Lacking]
Useless lobster-like creatures living on Flow. They live in large herds, feeding on plankton and other small organisms, but every century grow wings, lungs, and legs, then swarm the surface world in a frenzy, seeking out and feasting upon any source of magic they can find. After a few months, these Floods return to the ocean and use any accumulated magic to lay unusually large clutches of eggs. In addition, they can feast upon magical energies, making them difficult to battle with magic.

Sorceror Mosquitoes
[Small][Uncommon]
Copper-colored mosquito-like creatures with crimson highlights living on Flow. They are able to use the magic in Djinn blood to cloak themselves, which makes them very effective at what they do. Spread Bloodbloat, a Djinn-affecting disease that rarely inflicts increased blood production, causing victims to bloat up a bit. Recovery is usually fairly swift, however.

Spoiler: Magical Plants (click to show/hide)

Lurelight Mushrooms
Mushrooms of pure light on Ark. They provide edible light to nearby plants, but slowly warp anything in their vicinity into serving them. The result is typically a large sphere of armored plant life, with ports that open only to spread more glowing spores.

Cathedral Cores
Giant mushrooms of pure light on Ark. They provide edible light to nearby plants, but slowly warp anything in their vicinity into serving them. The result is typically a massive sphere of armored plant life, supported by repeating patterns of structurally sound shapes. One in control of a solid base, they also begin slowly pushing this shell outwards, eventually roughly doubling their shell's radius from what might be expected.

[Cheesecake]

Name: Dominus
Preferred Appearance Themes:
A towering behemoth sculpted of iron and wrought in pride. Cogs and gears turn eternally, grinding and pounding and hissing. His face is generally a blank, metal mask with the simplest of faces, betraying no emotion, perhaps other than arrogance. The metal casing around Him is made of steel and cold iron, inlaid with gold. On His chest is a magnificent mosaic of a heart, pulsating gently with heat and pride. However, if one were to peel back that mosaic, they would find a petty, twisted black shell that was once a heart.
Personality:
Arrogant to many faults, domineering, selfish and self-righteous, Dominus views Himself as above all others, even though he might not be. He insists that all personal pronouns for Him be capitalized, as is His right. He has a sense of honor, though twisted in His favor, and values ambition, courage and greatness. Even potential greatness. Paradoxically, He favors the underdog instead of the obvious winner because He believes those who are not great who defeat those who are great are greater than the greatest.
Goals:
To leave behind the greatest monument to Himself, far greater than any other gods' in all eternity.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Name: Alerama
Preferred Appearance Themes: Red gas cloud. Small red rodent. Red-haired humanoid female child.
Personality: The newborn abonimation is like to compete with other gods, but for her competition is a game to make life funnier and she doesn't want to kill anyone because this will mean less partners to play with
Goals: She wants to create a huge playground and mortal toys to play. And toys for mortals to play.

[Demonic Spoon]

Name: Planner
Preferred Appearance Themes: He tends to an insectile theme, usually taking the form of a termite, ant, bee, butterfly or cicada, .
Personality: Planner will often spend long periods of time, completely still, simply watching the world, observing, while he slowly crafts intricate series of actions that he should take to reach a desired end. If this variable is adjusted just so, and that agent is provoked with a certain amount of offence, then things should play out in the following manner. Of course, when his plans fail, he tends to freeze up, his complete inability to act in the moment, without prior planning, making him particularly vulnerable to surprises and unpredictable elements.

To make up for this, he often makes several contingency plans, and has a wide variety of general plans for possible events that might happen. If the sun were to explode he might have been ready to uplift the creatures living around deep sea vents, laying the groundwork long ago.

Socially, if he chooses to initiate interaction with other, he tries to play out possible scenarios ahead of time, and when talking to them tries to follow a script in his head. If the other party doesn't follow the script, he quickly starts resorting to monosyllabic responses, quietly panicking on the inside.

However, things go surprisingly better when other initiate interactions, since he can see it coming, and guess what they are coming to him about pretty accurately , allowing him to come up with appropriate responses ahead of time (reaction versus proaction). Should something fall completely outside his expectations however, he tends to become a mumbling mess.

He tends to put his goals above whatever emotions he might have.
Goals: Planner has a grand vision, of a universe perfectly organized, running like smooth clockwork, with a place for everything, and everything in its place. He wishes to organize what can be organized and work around "chaos elements" until they are just another part of the system, a vast machine working constantly to improve itself, to reach new heights of knowledge, introspection and power.

[Pencil_Art]

PTW and possible join.

[Lord_lemonpie]

Name: Da'at
Preferred Appearance Themes: A four-armed humanoid dressed in gold and white robes, often surrounded by mist or clouds. A golden halo seemingly made out of pure light hovers above his head. His eyes are as blue as the sky.
Personality: Extremely dreamy. He avoids eye contact and always seems to stare into the distance. He never seems to pay attention to anyone, whilst he is actually intensively listening. He barely talks himself, but instead likes to communicate by showing intense visions or flashbacks to them.
Goals: Balance and preservation on a large scale. He does not care about a single life, but tries to make entire civilizations survive. If he saves a single life, it's probably because one of their great-great-great grandchilderen will do something to maintain the universe's balance.

Damn. Merit-based too. Oh well, hope you guys have fun.

[Pencil_Art]

Sheet is coming.

Name: Maker
Preferred Appearance themes: A tree, a
Personality: The Maker thinks slowly and thoroughly, often staring at his creations. It's works through every aspect of it's creations, refining them until they can be let alone to live long and fruitful lives. It is quite like the planner, except that it thinks that chaos presides in all things, and all things that are unknown are therefore unpredictable, possibly even those it makes itself.
Goals: To make the ultimate race, capable of dominating all others.

[micelus]

Name: Shevel
Preferred Appearance Themes: An elderly creature of varying appearance, a floating spinning disc is always found following the deity in whatever form she takes. When possible, she adorns herself with objects or forms of a bluish hue.
Personality: Shevel, in a word,  is motherly. She treats her fellow deities with polite respect and the denizens of the universe as children. At times, she enjoys a small joke but is nearly never one to disrespect others. This said, Shevel is quick to make a long-lasting grudge against those who would interfere with her goals, casting away her politeness in favour of insults and all-out war. She is quick to aid those who seem to require it but also expects the same in turn. Shevel adores knowledge and believes that acquiring more knowledge is one of the main purposes of all intelligent minds.
Goals: To foster the spread of civilised life, lead them into progress and allow them to discover the universe created by the gods. She believes that sapient life, carefully nurtured, are the epitome of Creation. She will fight to defend them from those who threaten progress, risking her existence to do so.

[Knight Otu]

Name: Ol'kuur
Preferred Appearance Themes: Brains, skulls, eyes - Ol'kuur's forms are never even remotely humanoid, but always incorporate at least one body part that seems of humanoid origin.
Personality: Ol'kuur considers himself a crafter of oddities, whether they are creatures, things, or more abstract things. The stranger what he creates, the better he likes it. He is willing to work with other in creative endeavors, should they accept his input on how to "improve" their works. Outside of a few exceptions, however, he isn't likely to care about what his creations do or are used for - whether havoc or happiness reigns through or for his creations isn't of any concern to him, as long as his current favorites are safe.
Goals: Ol'kuur seeks the creation of The Masterpieces. Almost by definition, he can't be certain what they will be, except that they will be different from each other, and that they will be obvious in some fashion.

[DontBanTheMan]

Name: Ignis.
Preferred Appearance Themes: A fire burning the color of his emotions. Normally red, but can change based on circumstances. Hotter (or colder) than a normal flame.
Personality: Destruction. That is one word to describe Ignis. Those who misunderstand him may view his powers with fear and anger, but he does not see himself as an unmaker. Passion. This word too can be used to describe him. Ignis burns with passion for any number of things, be it good or bad; negative or positive. However, unchecked passion is a danger to all, and he views it as foolhardy. Power? Creation? Life? Fire can mean any number of things. Fire is the origin and destruction of all, and attempting to interpret it so single-mindedly is both stupid and insulting. Ignis finds the joy and hate in fire; the ability to both take and give. He finds pleasure in what others would see as senseless destruction, but also cherishes those quiet, happy moments that make life worth living. Many would see him as chaos, few would see him as order. He acts as the flame would, and turns whichever way the wind blows.
Goals: Ignis desires balance; he does not wish to see massive destruction, just as he detests the 'perfect' utopia. No one super-civilization, but constant warfare would be just as detestable. His goals are primal and innate to his being. He understands that life and death go hand in hand, and there cannot be one without the other.
