[Atian the Elephantman God]

Spoiler: Maybe? (click to show/hide)

Name: Victor Dwar

Appearance: He has the features of a elf and human with jet black hair and wears a suit of black armor made from a weird metal that radiates fear to anyone near Victor Dwar.

Personality: Mortals are interesting beings some are lovable and others should be vanquished though none will be as great and grand as a Divine Being such as myself. Other Divines are a great deal of fun to befriend or battle Victor Dwar views other Divines as potential rivals.

Eventual Goal: Rule the over all!

[Ardent Debater]

OK, I was going to start the IC Thread now, but only 5 Submissions have been made. I'll do it tomorrow sometime.

[micelus]

Name: Avignon
Appearance: A middle-aged man (or woman) bearing a bushy beard (or none at all). Avignon is nearly always dressed in a drab apron, well-worn boots and gloves with all other aspects varying.
Personality: Avignon sees the mortals as his magnum opus, his clay that will be one day shaped into a great creation worthy of the divines. That said, he has no problem with eliminating a few defective individuals here and there. After all, why would you use poor copper to make bronze? As for the gods, Avignon sees them as equals. Perhaps friend, perhaps foe. He will cooperate when he finds similarities and fight when there are differences. However, he truly hates those who would destroy Creation without good reason or those who would allow the world to enter stagancy.
Eventual Goal: Usher in civilisation and ensure the end-product is worthy of the divine.

[Demonic Spoon]

Name: Dreamer of Truth
Appearance: A transparent lotus flower.
Personality: The world is an illusion, a dream. Everyone is but a dreamer in the illusion, attempting to reach happiness and transcendent truth. It is the wish of the Dreamer of Truth to guide mortals to enlightenment, and through them achieve it himself. As long as the other gods do not impede this quest, he is happy to help them, perhaps hoping that they will hope him in turn. Beyond that, he has little interest in matters not directly related to his great ambition
Eventual Goal: To rise beyond the false world and achieve true ascension. To become nothing, to become everything. To awaken from the dream, to dream forever. To guide others upon the true path until the dreamworld becomes the real.

[Ardent Debater]

Alright. Here are the Starting Six Divines, the other Sheets will be put on the Waitlist.

Spoiler:  Shennias, (FallacyofUrist) (click to show/hide)

Name: Shennias
Appearance: A tall male human with green vine-like marks cutting across his visible skin, but most of his body covered by lime green robes. He bears a wooden staff with a green crystal in the tip.
Personality: Shennias does not care very much for his fellow divine creatures. No, he simply wishes to make the world a garden, with sentient beings living in harmony with nature. If his fellow divine creatures interfere with that, he would not mind retaliating, however.
Eventual Goal: Make the world a magical garden, with different biomes depending on the area.

Spoiler:  Envaruk, (Nakeen) (click to show/hide)

Name: Envaruk

Appearance:
A black tentacled being exuding an aura of horror.
Its massive and bloated body is covered with a smooth chitin. It has six deep blue eyes around a bigger permanently closed one. This eye color is purple.
It has 12 tentacles by sets of three. Two sets on the lower side of its front body, and two sets on the upper side of its front body.
Its maw is only a hole within a dark light can be seen escaping, covered by many smaller tentacles.
Its back body is enormous, and the chitin covering it seems stronger than the rest of the body.

Personality:
Secretive, condescending, malicious. Envaruk is a twisted entity focused only on its goals.
It never succumbs to rage or anger, always keeping an eerily calm attitude.
To it, mortals are mere speckles of dust, only existing to be toyed with, or used.
It respects other Gods despite despising them all, as it believes the gift of Divinity was given to them for a reason.

Eventual Goal:
It aims for what it calls the Spiral of Nightmares.
Through careful manipulation and planning, Envaruk believes the whole universe must converge toward a point of absolute despair to fulfill its true purpose.
It also dreams of being called something like the Great Whisperer, the Black Kraken or the Bringer of Despair.

"The most beautiful form of despair is the one born from broken hopes."

Spoiler:  Nix, (NRDL) (click to show/hide)

Name: Nix
Appearance: A large, crudely carved man of stone who sits upon a granite throne.  The figure on the throne only moves in sharp bursts, seemingly when nobody is looking, always changing position and facial expression slightly, if one were to pay attention.  His eyes are the only thing that is not stone, constantly moving and darting and observing from beneath the rest of his visage.
Personality: Harsh and unforgiving towards his enemies, Nix isn't particularly known for gentleness to beings aligned with him.  At best, he will treat those he deems worthy with respect, and those unworthy with utter scorn.
Eventual Goal: To seek those in the world with potential and imbue them with strength, give them direction and purpose, whilst at the same time testing their innate grit and worth by making them suffer.  See how such individuals shape the world, in time.

Spoiler:  Avignon, (micelus) (click to show/hide)

Name: Avignon
Appearance: A middle-aged man (or woman) bearing a bushy beard (or none at all). Avignon is nearly always dressed in a drab apron, well-worn boots and gloves with all other aspects varying.

Spoiler:  Moznarx Hogroof, (crazyabe) (click to show/hide)

Name: "Moznarx Hogroof"
Appearance: he Appears to be a Chaotic Amalgamation of machines, Beasts, and Individual Concepts that Move in ways that Make no Sense and May very well Break Several Known and Unknown Laws, While Slowly Shifting new bits in and Out. He is Mostly Humanoid in Shape However.
Personality: The Current Mortals may Look Interesting, But they Arn't Even Nearly as Interesting as they could Be, and WILL be by the time I'm done with them... Gods however... As long as they don't directly bother me *I* Won't Directly bother them.
Eventual Goal: To Create A Great Device Powered by Mortal Machines Made to Drive it...

I'll have an IC Thread soon.

[Ardent Debater]

The IC Thread is up! If You're unsure how many Actions it takes to do something, Price-check in this Thread.

[Ardent Debater]

Note, if You want to put something on another Sphere, You'll need to spend One Mighty Act to make it habitable. Creating Oceans, an Atmosphere, and the Ecosystem are all very taxing, after all. If You choose to spend One, (or more) Mighty Acts on a Sphere, You can also choose the size and number of the Continents, to a reasonable degree.

[Nakéen]

I suggest linking the IC and the OOC by a link in each OP. Apart from this, the game seems to be starting finely !

[Ardent Debater]

Crazyabe, I have a few questions for you.

I find the Caste System very interesting, but your Racial description is somewhat vague apart from that. How exactly do they Reproduce? Does the Queen forge new ones? Are they grown? How long is their Typical Lifespan? Are there multiple Queens, or only one? If there are more than one, how are new ones born? How much free will does a normal Lower Caste Individual posses? Is it possible to move upward through the Castes? Apart from an unflinching loyalty to their superiors, what are their Cultural norms?

Keep in mind, the main purpose of this Thread is to World-Build, and to World-Build well, large amounts of details are essential. I'm sorry to ask you so many questions crazyabe. Also, The Chaos Engine is a Mighty Artifact, and would require a Mighty Act to create. I know it only produces enough Electricity to kill an Elder Dragon, but it does so reliably, and with no consequences, every day. That's more than enough to power most large cities without issue. On top of being able to amplify a Mortal's connection with the Divines. I believe that it qualifies, hands down, as a Mighty Artifact.

Everyone, if You create a stationary item, please specify it's initial location. Also, if You create a Race, I'd appreciate it if You stated what Region it is initially created in, and what sort of Morals or Culture they abide by, as it helps with Bookkeeping.

Thank You, Nakeen. I don't know how to provide a link to each Thread, but if you told me how to, I'd definitely do it.

I'm looking forward to it.

Demonic Spoon, what are the cuttlefish people called, if anything? And, apart from their eternal dreams,  Thematically,  what makes them different from standard water-breathing Humans? How is their society structured, if they even have one? What is their worldview? I'm sorry to ask you so much, I just need to know for bookkeeping.

[crazyabe]

Crazyabe, I have a few questions for you.

I find the Caste System very interesting, but your Racial description is somewhat vague apart from that. How exactly do they Reproduce? They can all Reproduce through their decendents will always be at least somewhat lower in station.
How long is their Typical Lifespan? Depends on their caste, slaves have a max age between 100 and 200, drones go up to 200 - 300, warriors are a special case that can hibernate at low power for thousands of years but only activly live for around a hundred. Overseers live between 1000 and 3000 years, Commanders can live up to 5000, lords live around the same amount, the council of elders are simply the oldest Lords, the others can be seen as immortal do to scribes being living memory storage devices that are connected to each other, the holder of war being a set of scribes keeping track of all combat information, and the queen as well as the keeper of secrets living nearly immortally.
Are there multiple Queens, or only one? there is only one queen at any moment but if the queen was to die One of the drones would mutate into a new queen.
How much free will does a normal Lower Caste Individual posses? Slaves don't have any, warriors gain a decent amount of it in combat but have none otherwise, Drones don't need to be baby sat daily like the others normally do since they are the craftsmen and such.
Is it possible to move upward through the Castes? Sort of, a lord can create more stations below him and move people around in them, and his superiors can do the same with him, but they can't just go up normally tho there is a situation where a drone can quickly rise.
Apart from an unflinching loyalty to their superiors, what are their Cultural norms? A good work ethnic and a decent apprecation of the queen first a formost, followed by peace and a love of art.

I answered your questions in green, do you have any others?

Thank you, I have one more question. How often do they Reproduce? Considering their longevity, it would probably take more time than the average for a non-magical Species. As soon as Demonic Spoon posts, I'll update the IC Thread.

[crazyabe]

Thank you, I have one more question. How often do they Reproduce? Considering their longevity, it would probably take more time than the average for a non-magical Species.

Anywhere Between Twelve to Twenty four months after they have eaten Enough Metal to Form the Body of their Young. in other words It takes between one and two YEARS for them to Reproduce if they have enough Matter for it.
