FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

You would be the last I would vote for. This is really getting in the way of what we are supposed to do which is make a world where things thrive. If you still want a vote from me the only one who has been able to earn it is anyone who gets stuff done WITHOUT AN IMMEDIATE END!

Ema: a Story of Gods
(OOC)

Cycle 5: The Scheming of Gods


As Mortals took their first steps, and more life appeared on Dirt, the Gods grew mistrustful of the others. Clashing interests and incompatible ideals led to schemes starting to take place.

------Life and Mortals------

Once more, more life, and more mortals. The Gods started building their garden, made for Mortals alone. Many plants, and very few creatures, all created to help the uplifted races to walk forward.

Tachyon Everlord created the Drogos, great winged Creatures, similar in morphology to dragons. He made them strong, and attuned to the power of Dirt. And uplifting them, the Drogos became Mortals. While he wanted them to use Magic, there existed no Magic they could use without a Law.

To prevent them from facing the same problems as other Mortals, the Major God then created several Plants and a species of Creature to tend to them.


Spoiler: The Drogos (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The Bezel (click to show/hide)

Razel saw the actions of Mortals, and grew interested. Uplifting the Gremnear and blessing them with a love for War, he then spoke to a Greamnear and gave to him a Blessing and a name, Sabalian.

Quote
Blessing of the beast: his skin is hard as steel while still being skin, their voice can command beast and those defeated by him, and the more they want blood the stronger they become, those he kill souls come to Razel's realm to fight until Razel decide they can stop, when he dies his souls comes to Razel's realm for the same fate as those he killed.

But Razel didn't have enough power, and only the first part of the Blessing affected the Mortal Sabalian. Souls remained unaffected by the Blessing of the Beast, and would keep returning to the Realm of their Creator.

Then with his remaining power, Razel shaped a Lesser Servant. A meat pile, whose only purpose was to feed the Gremnear.


Gasnareth Imrep did the same to Errthns, uplifiting them. Then near the Theropod territories, he built a Tower under which was a Dungeon called the Shadow's Keep. And inside the heart of that structure he placed a Magic Artifact, the Bleak Eye.

Spoiler: The Bleak Eye (Magic) (click to show/hide)

X'arilyg saw that the Theropods had strayed from his way due to hunger, and created a species of Creatures so that their hunger would always be sated, and a species of Plants for the grazers.

Spoiler: Purple Wheat (click to show/hide)

------Lifestealer's Game------

The Major God Lifestealer, witnessing the suffering of the Mortals, started preparing something. To that end, he created two Artifacts, one Heroic and one Divine. He kept both Artifacts in his Realm, for now.



------Laws------

Manannan Silverhand then created a Lesser Law on the Torus Continent.

Quote
Any who writes his enemy's or captor's name into the side of a magic bean, and eats it, will find he has gained his enemy's strength, while his enemy is now sapped and weak forevermore.

------Unveiled Secrets------

The Major God Ma'Rook  gave an order to Amoak: Destroy the Phantom.

Three Minor Gods gathered and schemed, forming a private channel called 'Chickens of a Fallen Sun'. This group comprised Elmedo, Mpaïspmapma and Manannan Silverhand.

They sent their power to Elmedo, who used it to create a Greater Servant: Chook Guevera, Breaker of Bondage. He then told him "protect the chickens, teach them how to write and to use the beans".



------Non-Player Gods------

Helyx, meanwhile, had been moving erratically in the lake he created.
Updowndownleftuprifhtaselectbbbaupleftselect.
Then it created a Minor Law affecting the Lake, the Law of Chaotic Currents.

Then with a Lesser Essence, he created a small island at the middle of the Lake. Under this nameless island was an underwater cave.



------Votes------

Quote from: Votes
Helyx (NPC): [1] (Mpaïspmapma)
Manannan Silverhand (Maximum Spin): [1] (Elmedo)
Elmedo the Afflatus (Sl4cker): [1] (Manannan)
X'arilyg (shadowclaw777): [4] (Razel, Gasnareth, Tachyon)

------Prophecies------

Four Gods wrote on the Slab of Prophecies:

Gasnareth Imrep: "A Great person will come upon "The Shadow's Keep" and From its depths take forth "The Bleak Eye"

Razel: "the first war will happen within 2 turns, it will bring misery to the unfortunate target"

Mpaïspmapm: "Maoths with magic beans make a magnificent recovery."

Lifestealer: "The Everfull Chest of Super Awesome Foods will be stolen by a thief of a species other than the one that received it!"

CARVER TURN



The Fifth Cycle came. New Mortals walked Dirt, new conflicts arose...


------On the Torus Continent------

Amoak and the Phantom:
Following the orders of his God, the Greater Servant Amoak left the Cornfield to go to the Dread Mountains. There, he confronted the Phantom and the Great Sagewood, who protected the Phantom.
Amoak: [12]
Phantom: [9]
Great Sagewood: [11]

But Amoak was far stronger than the Servant and the Monster. With its powerful psychic attacks and physical strength, he killed the Phantom and wounded the Great Sagewound.

The Phantom has been struck down
The Great Sagewound has been wounded

Amoak then left, returning to the Maoths. The Sagewound mourned at his friend's death, and cried alone for countless years...


The Maoths:
The Maoth civilization kept growing at a slow pace, isolation and peace making them lazy. As an aside, the Maoths now had cat-ears and felyne facial characteristics.


The Fall of the Theropods and the rise of the Chickens
A great blessing came to the Theropod Tribes in the form of the Three-Eyed Bovines. They were easy to hunt and provided a lot of food, allowing the Theropod population to increase at a great rate. And so, despite the frequent Scariest Crow-caused deaths, the Theropod Tribes grew.

But then, an event shook the state of the Tribes. One day a great chicken appeared. It was the Greater Servant Chook Guevera, and in his fierce zeal liberated the Spirit Chickens by exterminating all Theropod tribes. And in a matter of days, the Theropods were reduced to a few scattered members, which were then devoured by the Scariest Crow...


Theropods Civilization crumbled, and Theropods are now Extinct

The Spirit Chickens, now free, praised Chook Guevera and the Gods who created him. The Greater Servant then taught them writing, farming, and the use of Magic Beans. With his guidance the new Chicken Civilization grew at an alarming rate, catching up to that of the Maoths. By the arrival of Chook, they believed themselves to be a chosen people, superior to inferior races.


The Drogos:
In the Anchor, the Drogos made their first steps. Enjoying the blessings of the land, they knew no hunger. Their growth was unexceptional, however.

The Gremnears:
Despite becoming Mortals, the Gremnears didn't change much. Several generations of cannibalism had severely changed them, and they actually had taken a taste to their own kin's flesh.

With Mortality came Values. A new belief arose: eating the flesh of your enemies gave you their strength. The Gremnears thus formed very small tribes that kept fighting each others. The Meat Pile was seized by one of these tribes, generating just enough meat for a small community.


[Thus, Razel's prophecy came to pass.]
Quote
"the first war will happen within 2 turns, it will bring misery to the unfortunate target"

Sabalian, the blessed Gremnear, quickly became his fellows prime target. After several fights, Sabalian was struck down despite his powers, and devoured, as the Gremnears believed they would gain his powers.

The Errthns:
Similarly to the first steps of the Maoths, the Errthns showed promise. They quickly used the rocks, bones and metal shards of the Dread Mountains to craft tools, and build their homes out of Banewood.

While fewer in numbers than the other civilizations, they were the one with the highest growth.



------Servants------
Wounds:
Amoak and Herz were still recovering. Their wounds would take some more time to heal.

Herz:
Herz sent the skeletal Honey Lynxes to search for Mortals. They went far to unknown lands, at the opposite of Mortal settlements.
