LEGACY OF THE PROTEARCHS (God Game)

IC Thread

INTRODUCTION :

When we first came, there was nothing but oblivion. No darkness. No light. Only Void filling this infinite emptiness.
Here in the nothingness, we the Protearchs stood alone.
So we dreamt.
Feeding on the Void and our Ether, our dream took form.
One dreamt of Light and Darkness. So there was Light and Darkness.
One dreamt of the Elements. So there were the Elements.
One dreamt of Time. So there was Time.
Together, we dreamt of the World. Thus we became the World to unify the Dream.

And in our last glimpse before fading into the whole, we dreamt of our successors.

One of us was left behind, to guide them.

Me. Ame, Protearch of the Soul.

Spoiler: What is it ? (click to show/hide)

Hello ! After reading some God Games, I became really interested into making one. So here it is.

You are a group of divine entities. Your precursors, the Protearchs, created the World you are in and fused with it.
Now, it is up to you to fill it and fulfill your destiny. And maybe more…

RULES AND MECHANICS :

Spoiler: Rules and Turn flow (click to show/hide)

Rules :
Non automatic-success actions will be rolled according to basic Roll to Dodge rules with a slight variation to [1] and [6] :
[1] Overfail, the action fails so strongly that unexpected results occurs,
[2] Fail, the action fails,
[3} Partial Success, the action slightly succeeded,
[4] Success, the action succeeded,
[5] Epic Success, the action succeeded, exceeding expectations,
[6] Overshot, the action succeeded so strongly that unexpected results occurs,
For [1] and [6] rolls, a second dice will be rolled.
If the result is between 1 and 3, the action unexpected result is crippling. (basically an Epic Fail)
If the result is between 4 and 6, the action unexpected result is beneficial. (basically an Epic Success)

Of course, simple actions may require a roll depending on the situation.

Creation roll :
Creation will always succeed, but the result will be determined by a d4 roll.
[1] Something went wrong. Your creation comes out far differently from what you intended.
[2] Normal Success
[3] Normal Success
[4] Great success. Your creation comes out better than what you intended.

Turns :
There will be main turns and sub-turns. Main turns will be warned beforehand by a Timeskip.

Spoiler: Creation, Energy and Essence (click to show/hide)

There are two resources. Energy and Ether.
■ Using your powers will consume Energy.
■ Creating something out of nothing, will consume Ether and Energy.
■ Fiddling with life will always consume Ether.
■ Creating something related to your sphere will reduce the Ether cost.
■ You recover passively Ether and Energy after each Timeskip and passively/actively during sub-turns under certain conditions. For now, they are hidden, but they will be revealed during play.
■ When you reach 0 Energy, you enter the Exhausted state. You can't do an action requiring Energy for the next sub-turn, but you will recover Energy.
■ You can convert Ether into Energy : 1 to 100. Not the other way around.

Creation :
-Creating life :
■ Specify the name of the being/species, it's shape if you want and some peculiar properties.
■ Add powers, special properties, etc… by consuming additional Ether.

Spoiler: Revealed Mechanics "Leveling up" (click to show/hide)

■ By consuming half of your Ether Capacity, you will "gain a level", increasing your Energy/Ether limits, and your Energy/Ether recovery. Furthermore your maximum size will also increase, and some powers/perks may or may not be unlocked depending on GM mood.

Only cost Energy usually. Depend on size of zone modified.
-Small Area Modification (Local) : 100
