[Roboson]

You awaken in the sky above a planet. Beneath you is a fully fledged primordial world. It seems you are not the first deities to arrive in this strange world as it is full of life. Magic, monsters, and mortals already fill this strange world. You look for a moment, reaching out with your ethereal and divine form, for any nearby deities. Only moments later you feel a terrible force begin to pull on you. It is strange, and more importantly, incredibly strong. A terrible voice fills your head with a single terrible word: Fall. You plummet from the heavens above down towards the strange, and undoubtedly dangerous world.

In this god game players will play as fallen gods. Gods who are forced into physical form by a strange and yet unknown power. Cut off from the heavens, you are subject to the same dangers as any living creature. Albeit you retain some of your divine power, these new gods will have to learn to exist in this unusual world and find a way to return themselves to the heavens above. Or die in the process.

Character Sheet

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name of God:
Sphere: (Starting sphere of your god. Will probably change as the game goes on.)
Physical description: (Gods stand about 20 feet tall. Gods do not need to be humanoid, your form will change to represent you as the game progresses.)
Personality description: (Doesn't have to be too long, just a blurb about how your god will act.)

I've been wanting to run a bit of a darker god game, and this is going to be it. Fallen, desperate, and in-danger, you will have to work to survive in this world. Fallen gods are no more powerful than giant monsters, and in many ways, are just giant monsters. As an important note, your form will change throughout the game.

Gods will receive 1 Divine Energy every turn. This can be increased by having worshipers, or through various other means. More information on HP, income, and all that sort of stuff once we get character sheets.  But beyond that, you are a big powerful monster trying to survive in the most dangerous world in the universe.

Name of God: Zalu
Sphere: Crafting
Physical description: A swaying mass of dextrous tentacles splitting off into finer and finer tentacles, allowing him to create masterpieces beyond mortal means or comprehension.
Personality description: Zalu likes making things. He likes watching others making things, and teaching them how to make better things. He doesn't like watching things of worth being destroyed, but is as adept as unmaking as making if needed, for survival and the like.

((Colour of the tentacle-form, I'm tempted to say they change in colour to blend into the surroundings as adaptive camouflage, but not sure if that'd be allowed. Otherwise just a mix of red and grey I guess.))

Name of God: Xerneas
Sphere: life
Physical description: A large rainbow plated, dark blue and white deer.
Personality description: Doesn't feel inconvenieced joining life in it's physical forms, though feels a deep respinsibility to take strides to rejoin the holy pantheon.

[FallacyofUrist]

Name: Arvanor
Sphere: Enchanting
Physical Description: A tall human in purple robes with red edging.
Personality Description: Arvanor likes to study, to devise, to improve. Study-devise-improve. That's the cycle of any proper mage.

[vishdafish]

Name of God: Absynth
Sphere: Darkness
Physical description: A flickering shadow, wreathed in a tattered black cloak.
Personality description: Absyth prefers to act in the shadows, biding his time before striking with ferocity. He avoids direct conflict, and prefers to use and manipulate other parties rather than acting himself.

[Roboson]

That looks like a good starting line up. I'll write up the IC here in a bit. Anyone who joins after this post will either join on the second turn or be waitlisted.

[Roboson]

OK, the IC is up. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161789.0

Here is a blurb to explain essence:
1 Essence: A small act. Can be used to create mundane objects or phenomenon. If used for attack, does 50 damage.
2 Essence: A decently sized act. Can be used to create mildly magical items or localized magical phenomenon. Can be used to inflict 100 points of damage.
5: Essence: A true act. Capable of creating life, artifacts, or magical locations. Can be used offensively for 250 damage.
10 Essence: A great act of divine power. Can create large monsters, powerful magical items, or creating new locations. Capable of dealing 500 damage if one were to so choose.

Feel free to ask any questions if you have any.

[Demonic Spoon]

Creating life, does that include creating intelligent races?

[Roboson]

Yeah, 5 is required to begin a new species. You'd probably need 6-7 to make it human level intelligence. Bells and whistles like sentience and species abilities will likely always add onto the base cost.

[vishdafish]

Can I survive for extended periods underwater?

[Roboson]

Hmmm, you could if you spent a point to give yourself gills.

[Demonic Spoon]

Hmmm, you could if you spent a point to give yourself gills.

I thought he was a shadow though.

[Roboson]

That's a rather good point. I think I have to allow it on the basis that you (as a shadow) probably don't need to breathe. Feel free to spend as much time underwater as you wish.


However, I do think that altering your form should be rather cheap, just as a general rule.

[RoseHeart]

Being a shadow seems kind of Godlike to me. I expect to have equal awesome powers even in my super stupefied form. As default(free).
