Ema: a Story of Gods
(OOC)

In the beginning, there was nothing. Existence and non-existence didn't exist, in the concept-less void of the Interstice...
Then a force tore through the nether veil, willing existence from oblivion. Creation and Destruction, together as one, gave birth to power.
And from this power was born Ema, the Child-Universe of the Primordial Will...

"Carver? Sorry to disturb you, but we are finally going to have proper Gods! You will finally be able to get to proper Destiny-carving, and me to proper Reality-warping. They should be there very soon, aren't you excited? I am."

...Yet Ema had been forsaken by her Titanic offspring. Alone and empty, the fledging universe sent a call across the dimensions.
"Come, Gods."
Fourteen beings of great power heeded the call. From the Fourteen, Ten were allowed in the universe.

Manannan Silverhand, Great Destructor of Water, Spirit and Void.
Gasnareth Imrep, Great Creator of Death and Chaos.
Maïspapa/Païsmama, Great Creator of Earth, Prosperity, Agriculture, Peace, Fertility, Family, Peasants and Cows.

X'arilyg, Hope's End, Other One of the Mind, Psychology, Intricacy and Progression.
Razel the Beast of Battle, Other One of War, Abominations and Depravity.
Ma'Rook, Other One of Need, Blood, Caverns, Light and Body.
Aiwibhttjoikuboneschwëltom!ernauocks, Other One of Passion, Hope and Tragedy

Tachyon Everlord, Ascended One of Change, Metal and Magic.
Elmedo the Afflatus, Ascended One of Expression, Thought and Talents.
Lifestealer, Ascended One of Possession, Youth and Fun.

And thus, Time started to flow in Ema.

Cycle 1: The Genesis of Ema

The Ten Gods entered the universe known as Ema. Yet there was nothing but colorless darkness and shapeless energy...

"As you can see, I wasn't joking when I said the Titans left me empty. Neither world nor star. Not even a particle. There are Laws though! But those are the basic ones, and they don't matter much if there is nothing for these Laws to be exerted upon. "

Ema mused, and then gave two choices to the Gods.

"For starters we have two options.
Option 1: I leave it all up to you. Given you don't have the power of Titanic Ones, creating a world will take a bit more time, and require cooperation. You will need Quintessence to create a functional world quickly. Doing it bits by bits will take a long while, though that could work too if you want to start with some miserable archipelago of microworlds.

Option 2: I will create a shapeless Original World and a First Sun. That will allow you to directly start shaping it with lands, life and more...

We will also take this occasion to test out the Vote System. Everyone will vote toward an option. A Major God's vote is worth two Minor Gods' votes. And that's it. As always, feel free to ask questions if you have any."

The Slab of Prophecies

Spoiler: Active Prophecies (click to show/hide)

The Slab of Prophecies is smooth and undefiled.

State of Ema

"I'm eager to start!"
Strain: Low

Ema is still devoid of anything.

[Shadowclaw777]

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (1) SC
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (0)

If your a Major God (Roboson, Rahx, or FallacyOfUrist); than just add 2 to the counter

[Sl4cker]

I'll have to vote for the first option, and I'll even donate my Essence and Lesser Essence to Maïspapa free of charge just to show my commitment!

[IcyTea31]

"I agree. Maïspapa seems, at first glance, someone who could handle the responsibility. I will share my Essence with him as well, though I will hold my Lesser one for now."

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (3) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (0)

[crazyabe]

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (3) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (1) Gasnareth Imrep

I honestly don't see why we would want to waste time and build strain which could otherwise be 'voided...

[IcyTea31]

"The point is to give one of us the 5 Essence it takes to make a unit of Quintessence, thus allowing us to create the world to our specifications. If we do it right, it'll both be quicker than method two and cause less strain than it. It's an 'if', but I'd consider it a worthwhile risk."

((Also, please put your name in the votebox, in addition to the vote.))

[Roboson]

Hmmmm... mused the many mouths of Ma'Rook, a deep gutteral humm accompanied by a dozen lesser voices and a million whispers. I am in favor of building our world from the beginning. We should put in the work and to that end, I offer my power towards the creation of a sun to bring light to this world.

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (5) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy, Ma'Rook
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (1) Gasnareth Imrep

[Kilojoule Proton]

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (6) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy, Ma'Rook, Mpaïspama
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (1) Gasnareth Imrep

"Working together to create the world sounds gooOOOoood"

[darkwarlock3]

It looks like it has already been decided, but i will put my vote with option the less burdening option for Ema and give a chance to option 2

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (6) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy, Ma'Rook, Mpaïspama
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (2) Gasnareth Imrep, Razel

[Sl4cker]

'Less burdening'? Have you been paying attention? The first option is to let us shoulder the burden of creation - the second is to let the universe do the work for us.

[crazyabe]

The First option is to spend our power defining a world which will build up strain upon the universe as all we define is recorded, mean wist the second option provides a blank canvas with few defining features the universe will be strained by, and allows up to get upon the creation of that which we want.

[FallacyofUrist]

"Oh my goodness I'm a major god this is so exciting eeeeeee okay okay let's see okay I would love to work together and this way we can make a more interesting world so I'd say option number one!"

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (8.) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy, Ma'Rook, Mpaïspama, Lifestealer
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (2) Gasnareth Imrep, Razel

"I mean do I have to use my technically real name? It's so boring uncool and unawesome ugh..."

[Rahx]

.... I will co-operate as long as I get enough room to house the gifted and strong. My gift of metal and magic to the world and change over time to let the creation grow. Besides its been decided before I had to speak a word.

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (10) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy, Ma'Rook, Mpaïspama, Lifestealer, Tachyon
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (2) Gasnareth Imrep, Razel

[Nakéen]

Option 1 (Enforce Cooperation): (10) X'arilyg, Elmedo, Ivy, Ma'Rook, Mpaïspama, Lifestealer, Tachyon
Option 2: (Endow Isolationism): (2) Gasnareth Imrep, Razel

"I leave it all up to you then. It's actually a pretty sensible option, that way, both of us will be able to test the impact of your actions on me. Now get to creating! I want to see the world you will shape."

I'll have to vote for the first option, and I'll even donate my Essence and Lesser Essence to Maïspapa free of charge just to show my commitment!

"I agree. Maïspapa seems, at first glance, someone who could handle the responsibility. I will share my Essence with him as well, though I will hold my Lesser one for now."

"Okay, let me compute that."

Strain: Low

MPaïspmapma (Kilojoule Proton): 3E 2LE
Elmedo the Afflatus (Sl4cker): 0E 0LE
Aiwibhttjoikuboneschwëltom!ernauocks aka Ivy (IcyTea31): 0E 1LE
