^Zurion disguises himself as a well dressed angry turtini.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Zurion enters the courts of the prominent Turtleonie Leaders. Angry he raises his voice, "You have failed to lead us, the turtini, to live..." Suddenly he is muffled by two guards and brought into the cellar of the keep. In the cell of Gnu Keep, Zurion finds another turtini and a paperboy, strapped to the wall by chain. Amazed at how miserable they look, Zurion waits until the guards leaves, and unshackles them by zapping away the chains. "How did you do that?" the paperboy asks.
"I will let you know in a while, first tell me what you guys did to end up in this dump?"
The turtini raises his voice: "When the last riots happened, well the guards caught me smashing some windows, it all was so fast. I mean hey we are living in dump like places while the turtleonies can have the great snacky sites closeby the nodes... I only want to live a brilliant live and continue to study shipbuilding, but because of the high living costs I can't afford to practice my art..." "I was thrown in because I wanted to post a story about the riots that put the turtinis in favourable light. Some officials of the turtleonies must have gotten hold of me, and well I ended up here. Others of my kin had warned me that something like this might happen."
"Interesting stories, as I was brought here because I wanted to raise awareness of the slum problem", Zurion answers promptly. "What is your names anyway?"
"I am Pip" says the paperboy. "I am Dante" the turtini answers. "Fine, Dante, Pip, I am Zurion, god of Turtles and Discipline." Zurion reveals himself to the two cell inmates.
"Woah, Zurion, the great turtle..." Dante says. "I expected you to be taller somehow" Pip answers. With a scowlful look Zurion goes to Dante, "I am disappointed in you, as much as the slum situation is a thorn in my eye, you should not devolve into barbarism, not on Gnu anyway. As I admire your determination to build ships I will let it slip, but you must promise to continue your pursuits." Zurion turns to Pip, "You however are a great example of your proud people, as you showed discipline in the face of danger, and did what you believed in undepending on other opinions. I admire you for that, and I bet your god is a proud one to have you." Both of them nod and are relieved. "So what are we going to do about this cellar business?" Pip answers first, "Perhaps I shall write a newsletter about my imprisonment. I am sure there might be interested newspapers, willing to print this infringement of freedom of speech." "Do so!" Dante comes forth with another idea, "Yea, but also write about the slum situation. As a matter of fact rattle your people to help the turtini." Both nod in agreement-. Zurion speaks up again: "Well then I will grant you both with boons and with tasks, if you are willing to work for the people of turtini." "What boons?" "I shall make you immortal, and I shall make you charismatic. Also I shall give you the task to work for the creation of a democratically elected senate on gnu. Do you agree?" "For Democracy!" They both proclaim.

Zurion disguises himself as a turtini again and teleports the two onto kri.

He walks up into the courtroom again.

"Hey you I thought we set you in prison."
"No one can imprison me." Zurion disappears in thin air, leaving a painting of Dante and Pip forging an alliance with Kri to create democracy on Gnu.

Grant Pip and Dante of the spoiler immortality and +1 Charisma. Use any essence you need for it. Leave a masterful painting of Dante and Pip forging an alliance with Kri to create democracy on Gnu in the courtroom of Gnu.

Zurion then goes to the newly created tower and admires its shape.
"Beautiful indeed."
For 2 Essence send powerful dreams to turtini all around the world, to come to the tower to study its design, and to bring it to Gnu to achieve great fame.

Zurion returns to his office.
Propose the Site Proposal

Spoiler: The Site Proposal (click to show/hide)

I propose that interesting sites created and changed by the gods are all gathered and displayed by the one that calculates. It should include a name a small description of the site, and its location.

"Ascald, God of the Keardai, show yourself to me. I want to speak to you on the matter of your possible involvement of riot inducement in my settlements."

[hector13]

"Well then Saukko, how about this amendment?"

Propose Trait: Multiform Creature [2.25 * RANK]: A creature with this trait has multiple forms, and can change between them at will, with enough concentration. Each form can be specified, and can have different basic traits (strength, wisdom, agility, etc). The creature can have special ability or magic traits, but they cannot be used in all forms, and there will be no discount for such abilities. This trait can have more ranks, allowing creatures to have more forms. Multiform Creature +1 allows 2 forms, +2 allows 3 forms, but it caps at +3, allowing 4 different forms.

Saukko

Oppose

"There is more to the cost issue than just what I mentioned. That happened to be the most glaring.

As I said, the cost doesn't scale like the rest of the traits we have, in which the cost doubles with each level increase. Further, it complicates things in regards to book-keeping. Normally, the base cost is multiplied by all the traits, to get the cost you pay. With Multiform, it seems you want to skirt round that by having the slate wiped clean for different forms, meaning you can get more bang for your buck.

This either means you plan to abuse this heavily, or that the cost for it should be increased to be too expensive to be useful."

Spoiler: More Votes (click to show/hide)

Subschools 1.1: The Magic system that is based on nodes so far can be harnessed by the Discipline of Ley and Runic Magic. Both are formed only in broad terms so anyone can add upon said systems. Creating a subschool of one of the existing magic systems should not require essence, and also it should give the gods absolute freedom to showcase exotic spells from their school. Powerful "Spells" should be difficult for mortals to learn to represent that a player must state how difficult a spell is behind the spell. There should be seven classes of difficulties: Common, Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard, Neigh Impossible. If the power of a spell is considered too powerful, the spell will be settled at the Neigh Impossible level by popular vote. This law exists to encourage creative player creations while keeping the big picture in tact. It is understood that the mortals create their own subschools too and add upon the god-created schools.

Propose Trait: Champion [x15]: Can only be applied to creatures capable of worship, these creatures can use semi-divine powers, which can't be fully restrained. They have absolute will, and can break any mind control (even if it's there from the beginning), if they put enough will to it. Creatures with this trait cannot be immortal, and this trait cannot be passed on. Creatures with this trait cannot enter any plane of afterlife, and will be bound to the material world upon death. Depends on Legendary[x50] passing.

Titan Creation:

Titan Creation
I think creating Champions should have a base cost of 1Essence*TraitCost and exclude Immortality. Requires willing Mortal.
Creating Demigods should have a base cost of 2 Essence*Traitcost and Immortality should come at a reduced prise of 1.5. Requires Mortal who can bear the child of a god. The exact details of godly procreation shall be nothing to discuss in our civil courts.
Gargantuans should come at a base cost of 4Essence*Traitcost and should automatically have three stats raised to +1, or one stat raised to +1. They alll are sapient and able to worship. Adding immortality should cost a flat 1Essence. Éxtra abilities that aren't included in the racial list shall cost at least One essence, added onto the 4E*TC.
Giant Beasts shall cost 2Essence*Trait+GargantuanTrait. They all start at size +2 and all are Immortal
Legendary Beasts shall cost 5Essence*TraitCost+GargantuanTrait. They all start at size +1  and have five statpoints to spend but they can only go up to +4 in a stat except size and are Immortal. All legendary beasts have at least a sapient amount of intelligence and stats like god races.

Proposal:

Repeal the Unusual Form trait.

"It is too broad, and it allows any belligerent god to argue that abilities should be placed higher than the first level, which results in a doubling of cost for no great reason.

On the other hand, gods may not want to argue that things should go in a higher scale of the trait because it is so damned expensive."

[Fiery_Death]

Scrap both of my Multiform proposals.

"Argumentative cloud is being argumentative."

Luuc takes the form of a human, and spends a human lifetime as a human with the humans on Ddoma.

[hector13]

"Indeed, I'm only voicing my opposition to be argumentative, rather than to tell you why I'm opposing your proposals.

If I had eyes, I'd be dizzy with how much they were rolling."

[Chevaleresse]

A runed scroll appears before Zurion. It contains a formal invitation to Ascalon to dine and discuss the issue with Ascald.

[Detoxicated]

While waiting for Ascald, Zurion is drawing figures of mundane animals.

Spoiler: Turtle Ecosystem (click to show/hide)

Turtumbler - A turtle that walks on all four but with fine fingers that are used by them to climb and jump off of trees. Highly intelligent and social, these turtles protect their eggs in small packs of 7-23.

Turaeleons - A subbreed of turtles. These turtles have varying sizes from 5mm to 30cm. They are able to change their skin colouration on demand, and use it to camouflage and to communicate with other members of their species.

Turddigger - A turtle with special front legs, specialized to dig in the forest floor.

Zurion travels to Ascald afterwards

"They are named too similar."
Axt puts divine labels on the turtles, should they ever be made.
Turtumbler: T-JUM

The labels will appear in any update by KJP.
"Much better."

Spoiler: Ascalon (click to show/hide)

Zurion, after crossing the gap between planes, would feel a resistance to his passage before it vanished with no real warning. He would see a great wall with greater gates, covered in a seemingly infinite number of images depicting less grand fortresses, mighty beasts, the epics of heroes and great beasts, and the story of how the arms and armor carried by those heroes were forged. The entire plane is suffused with a greenish glow, though this fades closer to natural sunlight as he moves on.

Manning the walls and towers throughout are the spirits of Keardai and the occasional Telrac, holding runeforged crossbows and wearing plate of a similar make. A few Scamall float lazily through the skies, though a god's sight could tell that they had their own arms. There would be a fine stonework road, lined with gold at the edges, leading up to a mighty palace, flanked on both sides by massive libraries bustling with the souls of scholars. The sounds of war could be heard coming from behind the palace, where the four fortresses of Ascalon waged their unending war.

((As a note, I'll be traveling for the next few hours, so my ability to reply will be limited.))

((Me too so ill be on in 2-4 hours...))
Zurion amazed at the beauty of the land he has entered is amazed at the progress these people made.

[Sollia, the Sundancer | Goddess of Fire and Passion]

((Yay for technically late introductions?))

Two flames flicker to life among the Council, one taking the form of a smiling dwarf in furs, the other a hound.

"...hnn? Well now, isn't this interesting..."

The goddess' voice hums with anticipation, as she steps off from the planet to get a better look at the newest god of fire. Her ballgown eats it's way back into place, out from the ruins of her previous outfit.

"Welcome to being real, Burning Hunter. I am titled Sollia, the Sundancer. This is the Council by which we convene. Might I ask what your name be, fellow Burning Lord?"

The god gives a short bow.

"I be Vulkus, the Hearthkeeper, and this is Feuer. A pleasure, milady."

Axt's Super Rekkr Island Adventure, Part 3:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Axt walks toward the nearest village, he has a scar on half his face, his throat, his right arm, and his right shoulder.
I wonder how Meginhard will react to finding his body this scarred. Well, maybe I will just keep it, he is just a mortal after all, a near sighted mortal.
Axt looks at his sword, then summons a cloth, with which he wipes the blood and soot off the blade.
"Storm? What was I thinking, that is not the right word."
Axt wipes away the inscriptions, somehow. And then inscribes "WIND" into the fuller of the blade. Then he inscribes symbols along the edge of the blade.
Good, now what shall the reagents be? Well, it is just air, so I guess no reagents, just air. Voice. You have to breathe in any rhythm while scribing.
Axt holds the sword in front of him, then lets go. As he's walking, the sword stays in front of him, because magic. He scribes onto the blade, into the inscriptions, while chanting.

The sword script is finished, and Axt grabs the sword again.
"Oh right, I have not taught anyone how to enchant weapons. Might need to do that if they hope to survive the beasts I have now made."
Well, there's a village, might as well start with that one.

Scobis

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Scobis are a plant like race, with the main body of a pitcher plant. Their main body is surrounded by a crowd of vines, which are used to move the creature and manipulate objects. Down their "Back" are a series of hair-like flower petals. When threatened, these petals raise, releasing a cloud of flour-like material towards the target. The pitcher than opens up, revealing a constantly lit "pilot light", a small fire that is constantly burning inside of them. This sets off a dust explosion much like dragon's breath. They are generally white-to-grey in color, with most variation being in their petals.

Scobis traits: Innate Magic +1 (Firebreath equivalent) .004*1.7?=.0068 each=6.8 for 1k

Munroe creates 1000 Scobis!

"No. Though I wonder why you think I would do such, or in fact admit to such.

Still, though, I welcome you to dine."[/color] From an ornate dining chair, he gestures at a table full of a massive variety of delicacies.
