Vornfar
You can sense them. You know, out in the distance they are there. You will find them, and though your actions you will destroy them. You have been following them for an eternity and you feel as if you are about to reach them when suddenly you are not where you once were. The trial has gone cold. Or has it? You feel a presence in the distance and know your prey can never hide from you. You relize that this a new and strange land, but nothing will stop the hunt. (Land region 2)

Stats: 5 DP, 0 WP, 10 IP
Special: The hunt is on (your champions are specialized to be particularly lethal to gods, but consequentially weaker against other mortals/beings), Divine tracker (gods must devote an extra DP if they want to hide their position from you. Typical cost is 1 DP)

Sollia

You have been dancing for your entire existence. Your steps are sometimes quick and harsh, sometimes smooth and graceful. Spins and leaps punctuate your dance. Your dance is incomplete, however. It is missing a important aspect: a partner. You think of your partner as you lose yourself in your dance. As you dance, you feel your passion running hot through your body. When you finally stop you are composed of flames and find yourself in a scorching desert. You sense other gods far in the distance. Perhaps your partner is among them. (Land Region 17)

Sollia considers the rhythms in the air. The beat of the Sun above, like a glorious drum, calling her to dance. The pulse of the earth beneath her feet, subdued and quiet. Her partner was still asleep, then. These gods...their rhythm did not feel like him. Or did it? She didn't know his rhythms, yet, after all...or would it just be a beat, with her the melody?

She would have to find out, but...she turns in her dancing, feet leaving pockets of glass in the sand along the coast. It was such a quiet world. Someone seemed like they were making it a bit more exciting though. That was good! It might be interesting to see how she could do it instead...but no, that wouldn't be nice. What she could do, though...ah yes! That would be perfect! Tiny creatures, living off the music of the Sun, and others that could dance to a rhythm of their own, fueled by the first! Life was like flame, and flame always needed something to burn, after all...otherwise, what was the point? There was no change, if it didn't do anything.

And so as she danced, she stepped on the water, and it caught fire. And the fire swept across the surface of the ocean, everywhere the light of the sun touched. And in it's wake, when the waves had smothered the last flame, life was left. Miniscule, and weak, but innumerable, and healthy. And the Goddess of the Sun danced along the coast.

Vornfar Turn 1:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As Vornfar sniffs and paws at the ground he realizes something is missing there are no prey and no predator. With a great growl that spills forth from his mouth short grasses and shrubs begin to spread forth across the land. These shrubs and trees bare forth fruits nuts and other sources of nourishment that spread throughout the nearby lands. Planting a mighty foot in the ground many small creatures of prey rush forth across the newly formed prairies and grasslands. Then with a mighty bellow small predators spill forth from the fur of Vornfar chasing quickly after there new prey.

Actions with no fluff

Vornfar establishes a basic ecosystem in his current region. Not sure how many divine points that would cost but to make it happen id be willing too loose one ichor point to make it happen if necessary.

Skies are great, skies offer freedom, skies are beautiful and yet skies are lifeless. Arim decided that it must change and created a new kind of life. Bacterias that are full of energy like he is. This beings will go from cloud to cloud consuming them .

Travel to 13, then to 12. Spend 3 DP to Create flying bacteria that feed on clouds, using static electricity to gain energy and water and high flying dust to form their bodies

[Spiderking50]

Ending this turn early because I simply could not resist and most players have played. Also I'm signing off for the evening.

Turn One Ending: The Age of Bacterium

Several gods have entered the world and immediately began constructing the building blocks of life. The age of bacterium has begun. The eastern ocean has been filled with various microscopic life. In all of the oceans corals and prehensile seaweeds have began to grow. Urged on by the great god of the sea this creatures spread across the great ocean. Life on land remains barren (I lost track of where life was, but Vornfar can't afford to create all the way to multi-cellular carnivores [and the whole food chain beneath them] without seriously dipping into his health bar. I sent him a message and will work it out retroactively next turn). In a surprise twist, bacteria have taken to the sky. By divine intervention bacteria have begun to survive in the upper atmosphere where light is more intense and the clouds provide moisture. The world is teeming with life, albeit tiny, these creatures will provide the base for much larger creatures to come.

Turn Two Beginning:The Age of Bacterium Part 2
As some time paces a single moon takes center stage in the sky. It glows green and  it radiates a strange power, which shines upon the world. The bacteria of the world shimmer under its green tint and flourish. (-2 cost on total creation per god this turn (ie, no matter how many things you make, you only get 2 off the final price).

Land: barren
West ocean: some plant life

I'm very tired while doing this, if my math is wrong (I did some tweaking because spheres) or you have questions about something, let me know in a PM. If its a mistake, i'll fix it, if not then I'll tell you why it is.

Fixed on a later post.

Several gods have entered the world and immediately began constructing the building blocks of life. The age of bacterium has begun. The eastern ocean has been filled with various microscopic life. In the western ocean corals and prehensile seaweeds have began to grow. Urged on by the great god of the sea this creatures required slightly less divine points to create (water sphere).

State of the world:
Land: barren
West ocean: some plant life
Eat ocean: bacteria
North ocean:barren
Sky: bacteria

What? Creating two simple plantlife costs 1 Divine Power Point. Seaweed, Coral and Algae are as simple as you can get. I specifically said to spread to all sea regions. That's 1.5 Divine Power per region, for a total of six power. Taking my water sphere into account I should have been fine. Why does only one region have anything, and 5 Divine Power seems to be deducted anyway despite not doing anything that'd take it all?

Confusing!

Woke up early, wrote something incorrect, edited it out (wrote derp to show I derped, i.e. made a mistake). Correctly edited message with correct message now, recheck.

Coral and seaweed is fairly complex, mang. Bacteria is significantly simpler.

Plus, you simply can't spread life beyond a region you're adjacent to manually, it seems.

Its on the same level of grass, which was used as the example for simple plantlife. And that still doesn't explain why 5 Divine Power was deducted when it'd cost at maximum something like 3 DP to spread it to one region, before taking into account my Water Sphere.

[Rolepgeek]

Cuz' you said 6 Divine Power and the GM was tired, I'm guessing?

Besides, you're tryin' to make 'Grass' without bacteria. You're gonna need to backfill in the food chain, or Bad Things will happen. Plus, really it was talking about food chain bases, and it's a relative scale. Relative to bacteria, seaweed is very complex. We're in the age of bacteria.

Coral is also pretty damn complex, if I remember right. It's its own damn ecosystem, even.

Algae...eh. Meh.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Hm, I think I overspent my power That happens when you don't know what power can do.

Spiderking50 Do I have any bonuses on manipulating in the clouds bacteria because I created them and invested a hefty sum of DP in it? And how widespread the bacteria is?

Speaking to himself, Valvatorez realised something.

"I'm getting pretty lonely. Need something else."

With that, he paused his eternal walk and stacked some snow. And some ice. And some rocks. He continued this for a time, making twenty of these snow men in total.

"Perhaps I'll give them l- oh right. Oh this is an easy fix."

"So you guys, wanna live?' Looking around to make sure absolutely nothing was around, Valatorez spoke again in a chorus of child-like voices.

"Would we?!"

"Hah, of course you'd have to agree to a Deal."

"Deal?"

"You know, an agreement. Let's say I give you guys life and you guys...build stuff out of the snow. Maybe some more of you guys. Agree?"

"Of course!"

With that, Valatorez waved his arms and animated the snow.

3DP(?): Create 20 Snowchildren, creatures who spend their wholes lives socialising and building stuff out of the snow. They are immortal...at the right temperature.

Toras observed the world around him slowly, it was empty, barren, this wouldn't do, this world needed life, even organic life, much as he despised it, and so Toras got to work. First he spread out his arms and sent divine power into the land around, there life emerged, grass and shrubs came first, designed to be tough and fast growing, able to spread virtually anywhere and with great speed. Then came the forge trees, massive tree's which rose from the earth, made of wood as hard as iron and reaching high into the sky, these trees possessed a special unique power, their roots, when reaching into the ground, gather together valuable minerals, iron, copper, tin even gold, would come together under its roots. Requiring little fertilization or even much water, these forge trees would be the base from which he could begin his great work.

Then Toras began his true work, taking what metals he could find from the ground, Toras created sixteen small metal constructs, tiny things less than half a metre high long and only thirty centermetre's high, with six insectiod legs, each equipped with small pincer claws, and a smaller, more robust pair of pincers in front of a small grinding array and two large round, blue glowing eyes. The constructs also possessed small round abdomens, with large clear blue glass empty sections in the middle of said abdomens. These where his first true creations, the first of many clockwork creations he intended to spread across this barren world, naming them the Autonomous Nurture Drones, or A.N.D. for those with less complex minds than his own.

These metal constructs will gather together in groups if around 8 to 20 to a single Forge tree and construct large underground chambers near the surface with entrances to the surface around 6 metres in diameter close to their tree's, working together with other AND's around other Forge Trees in this endeavor, meaning a single chamber can be guarded by perhaps over a hundred AND's. They will spend their time  digging up metals from around hundreds of metres away for their Forge trees and storing them in their storage chambers, as well as creating new AND's with around one quarter of the metals they dig up themselves. The new AND's will head off to new forge tree's if their current tree has too many guarding it already, they will also nurture their forge trees to help them grow bigger.

They are capable of gaining energy by grinding up organic matter in their grinders, though they can also grind up dirt and rocks for far less energy when digging tunnels. In combat they will swarm together against their target, stabbing and slicing at their foes and bringing them down through sheer weight of numbers, though they will only be aggressive when commanded to, or when something threatens the Forge Tree's or storage chambers they guard.

With this the foundation was laid for his new world and so Toras rested.
