Gods are selfish. This is a universal godly trait.

[Stirk]

It's not like there's ever an established morality beyond no god killing and no destroying the universe. And maybe a selfishly passed rule against extinction events if the mortals are lucky.

When was that established? I killed gods all the time and people stopped caring eventually. "Oh Look. Yaos got offed again by winged monkeys. Hohum."

I think I met a God of Selflessness who was pretty unselfish.

Explain

[Vgray]

In the code of conduct that the gods were always too lazy and selfish to enforce.

Throwing Fusil in the sun was the best thing the council ever did by the way.

Few people thought it was you. And people don't get unmurdered in real life.

What's your point?

My point is Great Trees are:
Immobile
Extreme Breeder
At least semi-sentient if I remember correctly

In other words, pretty much the same as this "Human" caste. Its kinda hypocritical to call them weird.

I don't see how. Now, if I had said that we shouldn't make those kinds of things, that'd be different.

Honestly the real reason it comes to mind is that these ones seem like they're fleshy and oozy, which makes me think of Broodmothers from Dragon Age combined with Nurgle. Might not be true, of course, that's just what immediately jumps to mind. Plus, meat factories

Yeah but that's the old gods and vir and a few others seemed unselfish i know my character at least cares about others and well not really themselves beyond keeping healthy.

Begin with basic preservation instincts that includes the pursuit of worship and influence and dislike of murder of divines. Add a dash of chaos and independence, add a splash of apathy, adjust for sphere,

and you have the basic core personality of a well-adjusted god.

[hector13]

Well damn it for not noticing this earlier.

If you've still got spots open KJP, here's a character:

Spoiler: Sauko (click to show/hide)

Name: Sauko

Primary form: A gaseous cloud, changing shade depending on its mood

Symbol: Various, always to do with weather. Clouds, suns, tornadoes, waves etc.

Spheres: Weather

Description/Background: Er... maybe later.

Evidently continuing in the vein of Chaotic characters that I have in god games.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Okay make Vir with that template i wanna see if you can make her evil with just her normal traits.

[micelus]

@KJP is there still a bonus if I choose only 1 sphere? Having humans as a sphere is tempting me to make Horses and Hounds...and that's a whole can of worms I'd rather not open.

[Kilojoule Proton]

A basic tool for race creation has been added here.

Math: I think trying to re-explain it again would only make it more confusing, but basically, dividing each term by the previous term on exponential or factorial sequences has properties very similar to subtracting each term by the previous term on linear sequences (exponentials being flat, 0-slope lines and factorials being non-zero sloped lines).

Andres:
        Angel template: It's not meant to comprehensive, but it's meant to be a start (with two extra race creation points to spare for further customization or removing a Hindrance)
        Unique: I'd prefer that the race tiering and agent experience system cover this sort of thing
        Absolute Loyalty: Use novice Edge [Strong Willed] +2?
        Unmagical race: Flavor then
        Slightly Magical: Like a weaker [Arcane Background]

Happy Demon and Stirk: ACK

Spoiler: ShadowDragon (click to show/hide)

Name: Quelor
Primary form: A vaguely humanoid mass of silver spikes, wearing a somehow undamaged hooded grey robe.
Symbol: A silver sundial.
Spheres: Time and Metal
Description/Background: Quelor considers no one other than himself competent enough to be trusted with the ability to meddle with causality, especially not mortals. He also seeks to aid the progress of metallurgy.

Spoiler: hector13 (click to show/hide)

Name: Sauko

Primary form: A gaseous cloud, changing shade depending on its mood

Symbol: Various, always to do with weather. Clouds, suns, tornadoes, waves etc.

Spheres: Weather

Description/Background: Er... maybe later.

Added

micelus: In a way, yes. I consider diversity of options an advantage, so sphere-specific abilities for multi-sphere gods will be weakened a bit to compensate (and also to make up for potential monotony from having only one sphere).

--More to come--

$$$Response
        Aligned: Included in the bundle of secret sphere-related stuff (not yet released) as a cheap trait

--Price checks delayed: micelus, Dutrius--

I think I've decided to really just stay a spectator for this one, at least for now. There is, simply put, too much content. I can't keep up with the game with the amount of time I have. You may be annoyed by enjoy occasional snarky comments from me, though.

[micelus]

In which case, Nergu only has the sphere of Vigilance.

[Stirk]

Can we take we take Traits more than once? Namely, I want to take "Extra Hand" twice for a total of four.

Aww. Your characters are fun to fight with  .

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Hmmmm having a hard time thinking of making a sentient dungeon no idea how'd that work or the price.
