Out the prayers of a small child you are blinked into existence. You are a personal god, what others call an "imaginary friend" or "guardian angel".
But you have much greater ambitions.
You are bound only by the four laws:
1. A=A; The law of equivalence: whatever is given must be taken (time is irrelevant to you)
2. A != 0; The law of existence: without belief you do not exist
3. A < R; The law of least resistance: if you bend reality too much, you will be destroyed
4. A∝ P: The law of faith: your limits are defined only by your believers
------------------------
This is a very simple god-game, the objective is become as powerful as possible without disappearing from disbelief or over extension of your powers. Actions are done through "miracle points". The more miraculous the action, the more MP is needed. The snag is, I won't tell you how many MP you have .
"Belief" restores your MP. "Belief" is gained many ways, I'll leave it to you to figure it out. The stronger the belief the more MP you get. Belief can only be obtained from sentient creatures and has no upper limit.
As you gain more MP you will grow more powerful and can do more reality-bending things, however you are confined by the above rules at all times. Time is no matter to you, so long as someone believes, but if your believers run out, you are destroyed.
Bending reality is a tricky business, if you bend it too much, it will break and so will you. Do not overextend your powers.
Now then minor god, what has your child-believer named you?
