Some gods are omniscient omnipresent divine beings of unimaginable power, their will can raise worlds and smash them to bits with only a few mere thoughts. You are not one of these gods. Most gods are tiny specks of divine power which happened to coalesce into a sentient form. Small, weak, short lived, and inconsequential. Fading back into nothingness after only a few moments of life. You are not one of these gods. You find yourself somewhere in the middle, you have power, but you are weak and starving. You need sustenance and without it, soon you will fade back into the aether... Godlike Evolution Minigame is a simple god game. You play as a fledgling god fresh off the primordial presses. Starving and weak, you build yourself a physical form to prevent yourself from dissipating into nothingness. This is only a temporary fix however. Only by creating and guiding living creatures can you stave off your eventual death. You are not dependent on worship, though it is useful and desirable. Your avatar can die, though it's much harder to kill you than normal animals.
This is a mash-up of a God game and an Evolution game. Basically you play as a physical god who's purpose is to guide mortals from the primordial ooze to the height of civilization. Along the way you guide their evolution, and as a result, evolve yourself.
The rules are simple. Each turn you get one evolutionary action to use on your species and one minor divine act to do godly actions. While you are small and weak, your actions will be small and weak, but as your influence grows, so too shall your power. Acts, divine, evolutionary, or otherwise, cannot be hoarded. It's use it or lose it, one per turn, no rollover.
This game isn't complicated, its entirely freeform and sandbox. I hope that we create something cool and unique here. That said, certain actions may be ruled as
dickmoves unsportsmanlike. Teleporting a competing god's tribal people into a volcano will be ruled as
totally not cool unfair as it doesn't allow a reaction from the other god. Causing a volcano to erupt nearby and put that same god's tribe/animal population in extreme peril is however, totally legitimate.
Name of god:
Description of physical vessel:
Description of personality:
Description of starting creature: (Keep it simple, no special traits, but still describe how it looks. "A fish" isn't enough, "A fish with red and black scales about 2 inches long" is acceptable, but close to the minimum)
Fun, easy, minigame. Hopefully cool things happen. That's about it.
