So this is going to be something of an old-school Godhood game with only a few modifications to the standard formula. The following rules apply:

• Each day (measured from Midnight Eastern Time), each god receives one Act as long as they have at least one active worshiper.
• Each God starts the game with 3 acts.
• So long as a single worshipper of them remains, a god cannot be destroyed. Even if they are forgotten, a god can only be destroyed by another god spending an Act to consume their Essence. This adds that god's Authorities to the consuming god's Authorities, as well as adding any remaining Acts the consumed god has to their pool. This process also increases the maximum Acts the god can hold by 1.
• Any god that has no worshippers and has 0 acts at the start of a turn will fall, becoming a mortal and losing all their memories of being a god. There is a small chance that a fallen god can return to godhood at the end of that mortal's life, if they themselves become a figure of worship. A god can deliberately Fall (called Incarnating) in order to interact with mortals directly, or prevent gaining Acts beyond their limitf if they are forced to be out of contact for an extended period of time.
• Acts begin as Cosmic Acts, capable of preforming any feat not specifically denied by these rules, and will reduce in power with each passing Aeon, more restrictions being added over time.
• No god may preform any of the following actions, even with a Cosmic Act: Suborn the will of mortals, Harm another god directly, Grant Acts to Mortals, or directly affect the Creations of another god.
• Directly interacting with Mortals in Godly form is dangerous, often causing unpredictable effects on the mortals involved, up to and including instant death or insanity. For this reason, directly influencing mortals is... discouraged outside of Incarnations or Falls.
• No god may create a space, area, or dimension which other gods cannot reach or influence. All things must be able to be touched. Additionally, a God may not use an Act to limit, curtail, or reduce the power of other gods or gods in general.
• The Overgod has final say on the adjudication of Acts.
• Any Act beyond a god's maximum that they gain is transferred to the Overgod. The Overgod's Acts are always considered Cosmic Acts, except that they are not limited by these rules, but can only be used on the occasion that one of their Children provokes overt action.

The act itself should be bold and no more than one sentence.
The flavor text should be italicized, and serves a more narrative purpose, helping determine adjudication.

God Name: Acter Nobody
Describe what your God "Looks" Like: See "Appearance"
Your Gods Possible Goals in the Void: Well, there's not much of anything in the void. It needs to be improved upon before you can even know what else needs to be improved. Ergo, the first thing there needs to be is mortals and a safe place for them to live. From there, the goal is to help these mortals - and all the life around them - grow, improve, evolve into greater beings. The mortals are not powerful like the gods, nor will they be. But that is no reason they should not strive for such. And who knows what surprises there may be?
Potential Domains: Improvement. Aside from that: protection, science, knowledge, magic, evolution, etc.

Spoiler: Appearance (click to show/hide)

Example Act:
While he'd set up his moon to be a safe sanctuary for life, Acter soon realized that there was a key flaw: with the gravity being lower than these races were really meant to experience, their bodies would start to atrophy, and after a while of living like this, any contact with the mainworld would likely crush them under their own weight. However, Acter has dealt with this kind of situation before. He knew just what to do.
Create an Improvement field around the entirety of the moon, counteracting the negative effects of the low gravity as well as causing people to learn things slightly faster while there.

Name: Nefertem the Effulgent
Appearance: A hyperbolically infinite fractal of flowers in flowers in flowers, each folded petal razor sharp.
Goals: To create works of beauty, to reach still greater levels of power, and to make something – perhaps many things – so new and strange it surprises even other gods.
Domains: Beauty, light, agony, transcendence.

Example act: Nefertem the Effulgent creates a vast, still crystal sea through which the glowing souls of the dead eternally swim, hunted by ravenous angels that hover on the surface. The souls resemble shimmering glass eels, while the angels look like huge water-lilies when sedate, but have hidden appendages like the body of a spider used for hunting.

Name:X’arilyg the Eternal
Appearance: A giant vieny, bulging eyeball that just stays there eternally, never flinches, and never moves. It also has writhing tentacle appendage that move away from the centralized ball of staring. It just wants to understand you...
Goals: To allow creatures to realize their true potential, to allow them the pleasures of all things in life, and maybe just relax a lil in the void in between.
Domains: Insanity, madness, psychology, knowledge, pleasure, the mind

Spoiler: Visual Aid (click to show/hide)

Example Act: X'arilyg sees the mortals and their withheld, stoic nature and only live to breed and die, and never seeking progress or fulfillment of live that they will shall never perform. X'arilyg exhausts arcane energy into the physical, a pink ever expanding aura that only dwells in the mind that infests into the mental processing and functioning of the sapients, and they have become the next stage of beings. They can do more than just be a piece of the puzzle of society, but bring individuality and their own pleasures into their lives, they can create goals and can develop their own idiosyncrasies. X'arilyg has done his work many times, and has performed the deed that was required, no more no less...

...I really shouldn't.
... I might make a sheet for this. If a good idea strikes. I'll watch the resultant game nonetheless.

Putting this as a separate message so it'll come up on new posts, I've added an extra requirement to the OP. Namely, all players will need to submit an example Act for consideration along with their character.

[Glass]

Sample Act added.

Sample Act added.

why don't you ever just make the moon denser though

[Glass]

My Sphere is Improvement, not gravity or density. Besides, the Improvement field provides additional benefits while maintaining the good parts of low gravity.

God Name: Ravachakri
Describe what your God "Looks" Like: A nested wheel-inside-a-wheel, the spokes of which are hundreds of muscular golden arms, some, clutching the whole wheel together firmly, while others reach out to shape and protect the world. At the center is a shimmering face, eyes closed and expression impassive, radiating a bright light.
Your Gods Possible Goals in the Void: To create order out of the churning chaos; to create a noble system where every animal, mortal, and being has its own place; to have this order and this system preservere for time immemorial.
Potential Domains: Order, Cycles, Strength, Preserverance

Example: With a barrage of ferocious movements, Ravachakri creates the Kalpakata, a weapon crackling with divine power. The hilt is but a little longer than the length of a fist, built of a thick double helix of golden rope engraved with symbols of strength and heroism. Two zig-zagging pillars of metal burst out from either side of the hilt, intricate carvings glimmering in sacred steel, tapering to sharp ends curved in opposite directions. The weapon is as long as a man, roars furiously with even the slightest movement, and careens with impossible, deadly velocity upon being thrown.

God Name: Lu
Describe what your God "Looks" Like: A lean muscled monster. Lu appears as powerful barechested humanoid with the head of a crocodile.
Your Gods Possible Goals in the Void: Build, destroy, create, kill. These are things that belong to Lu.
Potential Domains (Light, Knowledge, War, etc.): Strength

Lu leans over from his heavenly abode and reached his muscled arm down through the clouds and plunges his clawed reptilian claw into a towering mountian. The rock crumbles until his immense strength, landslides and earthquakes radiate out into the region as Lu rumages in the bowels of the mountain. Finally he pulls out a beating ruby heart, spewing and dripping lava, and in doing so the mountain shudders and collapses in on itself. Lu rips out the heart of a mountain and then fashions it into a power maul with which to reward a heroic follower.
