Heavily inspired by the Ye Gods series of games by Kilojoule Proton, this is a game where you play as a God, creating and destroying as you see fit. Rather than starting at a blank slate, this is a sequel to Litany of the Void, which was cut off by the triumphant return of Kilojoule Proton with a new Ye Gods game. But he is gone once again, so this is back once again. The players, instead of restarting entirely, decided that this game should take place in the World they had created, simply time-skipped to modern times. As such, most of you will probably be returning players who already know the basics.

I will attempt to update this game at least once every weak, but this is a very fluid scheduled that you shouldn't expect me to follow with any regularity.

Name: ...I am not sure. If you figure this out, please inform me.
Sphere: What you have domain over. Actions in your sphere get a bonus and are cheaper, while objects against them are more expensive. You can have one "Primary" sphere and one "Secondary" sphere.
Primary form/associated symbol: What icon your God likes to spam on everything, and what form it takes.
Description/Background: General character description, including things like personality, open goals, or whatever else you feel like putting in.

^That is the character sheet, of course.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

You start the game with a full 10/10/10, which can be freely spent immediately. This can be (and will be pretty quickly) increased or decreased in play. Returning players get their Old Caps, but that wasn't much higher anyway :p.

Essence: Energy of creation. Perhaps the most often used of the three energies, this is the power that allows gods to create. Any permanent object requires essence to take form, from planets to mortal's souls to whatever your imagination can come up with. You regain essence through Influence and Worship. Influence is how much of an effect your sphere has on the world, modified for its broadness. Worship is how many followers you have, and the quality of those worshipers. Raising the essence cap is random, with the chances increasing the lower your cap already is and with high income and decreasing with high cap or low income.
 
Power: Energy of destruction. Used to fight and smite, usually at least. Power is the ambient energy that exists in all locations in the Void, abundant and potent but unstable. It can be used for most things that essence can, with the unfortunate effect that everything made with it vanishes in a single tick. It does, on the other hand, take less power to do an action then it would essence. The end effect is that it is incredibly useful for things that would be temporary anyway, such as a bolt of lightning, empowering a favored follower for a war, or anything your mind can come up with! Another benefit of Power is that, as an ambient source of energy, it naturally refills at a much higher rate. Power cap is raised by training, simply using it for something, which also increases the amount of Power regenerated.

Crux: Energy of Life. Used to live, for gods at least. This is the equivalent to your health points, usually lowered by attacks or other assaults. If you aren't getting into fights, it can instead be used as a single point of Essence point or two points of Power. As there *probably* isn't anything capable of actually harming you at world creation, you could likely spend a bit of it to solidify your power base. Crux naturally replenishes itself with itself, healing slooowly over time. There is no known way to increase Crux cap naturally, but you all feel that *something* can do it....

Price-Check: This is a new mechanic, based on KJP's updates to Ye Gods. Basically, it standardizes the prices for creations. To price check, simply find the "Base" for the item you are creating (if one isn't found, just ask me on this thread or privately for the price!) then multiply it by the "Traits" you want your creation to have, then multiply it by the amount. The Trait List is in the next post. For the most part, I will attempt to keep the "Traits" as "Trait Categories" for a variety of reasons. Once you found the Trait Category that you want to add, decide how large you want a trait to be. There is no limit on the number, but they increase rapidly as it goes on. Positive numbers make the trait more powerful, negative makes them weaker than the base. If a Trait you wish to make doesn't fit in any of the categories, or you are unsure of what category it goes in, you can ask me at any time. Put the abbreviation of the trait category in front of the trait you used, such as "PT: Strength" for a Physical Trait called "Strength". This mechanic, and the Trait's prices, are subject to change at any time. If you have any questions about this, just ask, I am on often enough to answer swiftly if the other players don't get to it first.

Trait Bases:
Mortal race: 0.001E per individual.
Magic School: 3E
Magic Item: 1E

Trait List (Unsorted)

[Physical Trait +1 <x1.2>] This trait category includes things like Strength, Speed, Endurance, and other abilities that change the physical characteristics.
[Physical Trait +2 <x1.4>]
[Physical Trait +3 <x1.7>]
[Physical Trait +4 <x2.0>]
[Physical Trait -1 <x.8>]
[Mental Trait +1 <x1.2>] This trait category includes things like Intelligence, Leadership ability, Innate Skills and other abilities that change the mental characteristics.
[Mental Trait +2 <x1.4>]
[Mental Trait +3 <x1.7>]
[Mental Trait +4 <x2.0>]
[Mental Trait -1 <x.8>]
[Creature Power +1 <x1.4>] This trait category is meant to include any unique abilities of your creation, such as the physic ability of one already created race.
[Creature Power +2 <x2.0>]
[Creature Power +3 <x2.8>]
[Magic Strength+1<x2.0>] This list of traits may only be applied to magic. The stronger the magic system, the more the average user can do with it, but it generally requires more to power it and is more dangerous to the user and thus rarer.
[Magic Strength+2<x4.0>]
[Magic Strength+3<x8>]
[Magic Strength-1<x.5>] (Magic Systems are still made by the same system as before. Good a place as any to note that.)
[Magic Power Source+1<x2.0>] Magic system trait. This allows the Magic System to use a power source that is safer or more widely available
[Magic Power Source+2<x4.0>]
[Magic Power Source-1<x.5>] Going negative means that the source is significantly more dangerous or difficult to get instead.
[Magic Availability+1<x1.4>] Increases the amount of proficient magic users in the world of that class.
[Magic Availability+2<x1.96>]
[Magic Availability-1<x.7>] Decreases the amount of proficient users in the world. Narrowing it down to something beneficial, like 'Only my followers can use it', instead uses the positive numbers.
[Immortality <x1.5>] Granting to a normal mortal is 1E flat. Only stops aging, but can be represented in different ways


I think that should be enough to start off with.

 Hi. Can i reserve a god of winter?


Name:Khionides
Sphere: Cold. Clarity (derived from absence of emotions,  As in "having a cold heart" )
Primary form/associated symbol: He looks like a tall, totally hairless man with white skin and four white wings. His symbol and sacred animal is the snow owl. 
Description/Background: Khionides is cold hearted. He does not care for mortals , for him they are just interesting distractions from the passing of centuries. This is why he puts them under difficult trials, just to amuse himself. He is fair, though. If a mortal proves himself worthy, thre are no limits to Khionides generosity. At  the same time, mery is a totally uknown concept to him. his worshippers must prepare to live fully or to die horribly. There is no middle ground.

Name: Element BXD32,946, Divinite, Alias: Kondreanth
Sphere: Evolution/Radiation
Primary form/associated symbol:A large ball of neutrons, electrons, and protons
Description/Background: A god made by men, he was formed in an experiment.

[Rolepgeek]

I vote we don't allow Rape as a sphere, mostly because I don't want Toady getting involved, but also because I just don't like how that would turn out in a game about 'modern' society.

For those of us from the last game, Stirk, would you like us to put our character sheets again, with whatever slight modifications may have occurred from being drawn into the dream of the archdreamers?

Accepted, you can go ahead and start now. Background and description can come later.

....Ok then?

Anyway, I would prefer a repost of returning characters, simply so I can keep a list of who is actively playing with whatever changes where made.

Ok, these race mechanics are a lot simpler than what you made them out to be. I like them. Could you give us an angel template, though?

Ok seriously, where the hell did this come from!? No one from any Litany or Ye Gods game has ever shown any interest in this type of sphere at all.

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

Name: Iliseth Ilwen Yua Inel
Sphere: Souls and Blood
Primary form/associated symbol:


Description/Background: Tends to mind her own business unless something worthy of her attention is going on.

[Rolepgeek]

Crazyabe's character had rape as one of it's sphere's before he edited it out. Which I'm grateful for, by the way.

Though that explains why Stirk reacted as if I was a crazy person. He's not wrong

Spoiler: Teburshe, The Shade Keeper (click to show/hide)

Name: Teburshe Fikathat Baduol
Spheres: Growth and Shadow
Primary Form/Associated Symbol: Teburshe has no single form, and will often appear as a gaunt old man or woman, kindly or crotchety in turns as they please, or simply disguise themself as a wild beast or look through the eyes of some great tower. Their favorite form, however, is that of a great overarching tree with branches spread wide, offering shelter to those beneath it. Their symbol is, similarly, a tree, though in some circles it is instead an extremely large and tall tower. In either case, the shadow it casts is as much part of the symbol as the object itself. In the modern age, the tower has shifted to skyscraper; some followers ascribe to him mathematical formula as holy icons or phrases. These are but shadows of the processes they model, but in itself, that might be reason for their use...
Description/Background: No work is ever finished, and no height can be reached without casting a shadow down below. Teburshe is a patient god, though the irreverent might call them slow or overcautious, and prefers to ensure support is in place before any plan is carried through. There is always somewhere higher to reach, and aid to offer to those in the shadow cast by greatness...and those who must be deprived of their time in the light to offer it instead to the greatest. Teburshe seeks a world of endless Growth, reaching beyond the limits of possibility and sense to achieve the truly magnificent. But as in everything else...the tallest tower requires the strongest foundation, and Teburshe can work patiently. A tree's roots can also grow, in the cool depths of the earth...

Description/Background: Now with 100% more sanity. By godly standards...

[Ama]

Spoiler: Lauxal (click to show/hide)

Name: Lauxal, Queen of Fear
Sphere: Primary: Nightmares Secondary: Writings of the horror type
Primary form: Lauxal`s primary form is that of a young girl with pale white skin, dark black hair, and soulless black eyes.
Associated symbol: A silver spider, a full moon, blue eyes staring from the water, skulls, livers, and the most horrific thing in the world....BLOOD! *Ominous background noises*
Description/Background: Lauxal has awoken from her slumber very changed. Her spheres and appearance are the most obvious change. however its her mind that has changed the most of all. No longer does she desire to simply just scare the mortals and cause nightmares, instead she wants to bring scares and thrills to the mortals. She wants to teach her creations, how to bring new scares to the mortals, not to be malicious, but to instead shake up their boring everyday routine.

Reusing Dgetga, will add his old sheet when I have proper Internet.

[Dutrius]

Spoiler: Moi'aaty (click to show/hide)

Name: Moi'aaty.
Sphere: Life and Death.
Symbol: A skull surrounded by vines. (any skull or skull analogue is acceptable.)
Primary form: A white (or black) robe, seemingly empty, carrying a scythe with a black (or white) blade. An indeterminable number of eye-like points of light peer from under the hood of his robe. He appears to have gained a pair of skeletal wings during his time in stasis. When folded, they are indistinguishable from his robes. When unfurled, a glimmering, iridescent membrane appears between the bones.
Description: As the God of Life and Death, Moi'aaty mostly seeks to maintain some sort of balance between life and death. Or so he appears. He appears to be apathetic towards the mortals themselves, but may become manipulative to further his own ends, whatever they are. He may be a little cranky after entering stasis so soon after returning.

We've all forgotten a lot of what our gods had and did. Could you PM us some of your notes on our characters so we know what ancient artifacts/secret races/magic systems/etc. we have?

Nope. I never kept any of that, the closest we had was the public records in the OP of litany, which I will probably end up posting here until we can get an update.

@All:...Go check your own PMs.
