In the heights of the Aether, six sparks emerged. Unable to support themselves, they fall to the mortal world below. Each one is drawn to something - their calling. The sparks naturally aren't able to do much and are weak and pitiful. But even a single casual follower can set them on the path to becoming a true god.
Tyr LoknarDivine Mana: 10/10 muSuspicion and desperation. That's what drew Tyr Loknar to this place. A small castle lies here, surrounded by assorted abodes and buildings. Inside this castle is a chamber. It's not the grandest one by far, but it belongs to the king's brother, Barith. This is the source of the two emotions that could be seen from the heavens.
Tyr Loknar, lacking the omnipresence of a stronger being, rests unseen in the room. Barith stands against the wall farthest from the door. The king is slowly approaching them. From what little Tyr can see into the king's mind, he does not truly know of his wife's affair with Barith. But he suspects it. He suspects it as he stands accusing his brother of sleeping with the king's wife. Barith is desperate; he's pleading to the heavens for help.
RouraganDivine Mana: 10/10 muA mother stands grieving at the shore, watching the waves carry the debris of her former village. All that she knew is gone. Her child is gone. Behind her stands the ruins of a village that was thriving just two days ago. No one remains but her.
As she grieves and mourns, asking the gods why this happened to her, Rouragan's spark descends to a hovering spot in the air above her.
RNGDivine Mana: 10/10 mu((To match you up with the others, I changed your calling a bit.))Near the outskirts of a small village, there's a single hut. It's a small hut, with no distinctive features. A man lives in it. He works as a laborer on another person's farm in exchange for food. He doesn't have a wife or children or hobby, he just has his routine.
There's a reason RNG floated down to this particular spot. The man is bored. He wants something different.
PolarisDivine Mana: 10/10 muOutside the edges of some human kingdom is a place where the doomed inhabit.
The doomed are simply the slaves. Captured in one of their slavers' many raids and forced to work for them. The slavers' race didn't matter. Sometimes it was humans, sometimes goblins, sometimes orcs, sometimes dwarfs, and sometimes one of the more rare ones. But their goals remained the same. Live a merry life on the backs of the slaves!
The slaves, of course, suffered.
One of these camps has a woman slaving away in a coal mine as per usual. Surrounded by other slaves and the slave drivers. The unusual aspect of this is the woman's inner mind. Her desire for freedom.
Her desire for happiness.
CazartanzatreenkaquintDivine Mana: 10/10 mu((I should have pointed it out breforehand, but your calling wasn't particularly specific, so I may have accidentally shoehorned your opportunity to not align with your planned ethics. It's not like there's only one opportunity to get a follower, though.))A man trudges his feet through the hot desert sand, forcibly pulled by his captors. Caz is drawn to this particular small prison transport for a reason. They're headed to a nearby town by an oasis. Where the prisoner will be held for trial and eventually executed for his crimes against the kingdom. The specific crimes do not matter. The prisoner simply wants freedom, uncaring about the lives of his fellow prisoners or captors. The guards want justice, especially if that means the execution of those guilty.
There's an opportunity here for Caz.
[Fellisan]There should be another newborn deity descending, but for whatever reason only the five have appeared at this moment.

Divine Mana: How it worksUnfortunately the game is too freeform to simply assign mana costs to types of actions, but it should be easy to guess. The 10 mana you all start off with is actually an extremely tiny amount - capacity grows as you progress.
When you hit 0 mana, you become dormant. Until you get mana from some non-godly source (it can be done indirectly, though), you remain inactive. Somehow go into the negatives, and you're dead. I won't perform any actions that take enough mana to put someone's mana below zero. They can continue if they wish though.
And once again, mana costs: It's mostly just "GM decides", but
simple manipulation (such as divinely moving an object) costs 1 mana and talking to a single nonbeliever costs 1 mana. It rises fairly exponentially from there.
Mana recovers fairly fast from the usual sources, but if you're feeling iffy about the cost of an action, feel free to PM me.
