Well, that sucks. For me and you Zarel, so before we die, I will do one thing.
Chop off all my tails and throw them as far as I can, but before that try to give life to them. As long as my empire doesn't end up being lead by one of my many many many bastards and weird offspring I will die a happy mutant. Even if I fail I'll at least have died trying.
Now that's done, I have one last murder to do.
KILL MY SELF VIA SPEAR TO THE BRAIN!
Do NOT allow Haku to kill themselves. Instead, reduce them to be a Mortal with the the ability to survive in the void, and send them to be Anaconda's Consort. Don't let any tails escape or survive.
As for my action, spend 1 power harvesting the moon of souls for power. Then aid Sucker in his campaign against the chaos nation with both my direct aid and my army of returned souls.
"Thank you both for your aid."
((@Angery, you do not have to keep playing Haku in my mind.))
Name: Manor
God Level: Major
Power: 1
Sphere (If major or minor god): Consciousness and Souls (the business of being sentient, including life and death)
Description: [The Observer]
((Sorry Haku, you lost so no weaseling out through suicide. Though his reduction to mortal means you can just leave him as an NPC and create a new demigod))
Manor strips Haku of his Demigodhood and banishes him to the void, straight into the arms of Anaconda.
Manor then attempts to harvest the moon only to realize it has already been harvested, and thus saves his energy. Regardless, he offers his aid to Sucker.
Name: Attom
God Level: Mayor
Power: 4 of 20
Sphere (If major or minor god): Food
Description: A mass of thousand of arms holding different cooking instruments.
Take a page from Borkle book and use 1 power to punch the Malignant Red Hypergiant into stability.
Then kidnap mecha-spiders to build the oven of their metallic bodies (Limit myself to the mechaspiders the Crest created with the purpose of being kidnapped).
[6+1]
Attom punches the Malignant Red Hypergiant so hard that it stabilizes the star. Unfortunately it also sends the star flying across the void in a lazy orbit.
Name: Hectorclese the Stout
God level: Minor
Power: 7 - probably
Sphere: Victory and Feasting
Description: The Heartiest of Hearty Boys, the pinnacle of what they can be; big and strong, he's always on the lookout for something to eat. He walks among mortals with a dim glow around him, a clear sign of his deification.
Notes: Smarting over the loss of some Heart Boys in the Food Invasion
100 war beasts and 50 Hearty Boys
Hectorclese nods to himself at a job well done.
Attempt to tame one of the Star Kraken, using 1 power
[4][2+1]
Hectorclese evades the Malignant Hypergiant, though only barely and with significant damage to the neokitchen and loss of life among his troops. Regardless, he presses on to try and tame a Star Kraken. Sadly, the best he can do is get its attention.
I'm curious to see what the Slime God Machine does. Hopefully something that benefits me. Anyway, time to begin my ultimate project.
Create some Mechaspiders for Attom to 'kidnap' conveniently next to the Malignant Red Hypergiant. Then go far north and spend 6 power creating a massive super computer surrounded by 6 huge metal containers with very thick metal walls. This super computer will be called the Mech Lord and answer only to my commands, doing so at maximum safe efficiency.
"Borkle, any chance you would lend me 4 or 5 power? You seem to have a lot of it being wasted due to how much power you have, and I don't want some demigods in particular to take advantage of my weak state. I completely understand if you don't want to lend me the power, by the way."
Name: Credst
God Level: Major
Power: 7
Sphere: Creation and Destruction
Description: A humanoid of swirling blue and red energy with indistinguishable features and a bright sun rotating on top of a crescent moon as a hat. He has 4 hands, with the top right hand holding the Staff of Creation.
Notes: The sun and moon atop Credst's head represent creation and destruction. The Staff of Creation is a twisting pillar of silver and light.
Destructive Acts: 6
Creative Acts: 4
Credst's hat has a slight fracture.
Credst currently has the Staff of Creation.
[6][1][2]
Credst summons up a huge spherical hive of spiders around Attom, completely entombing the food god in clockwork arachnids. That done, he attempts to create some kind of massive super computer but instead his creative energy backfires and he creates the Cosmic Luddite, a great mass of animate stone which hates high technology and will attempt to destroy any that it finds.
Before Credst can do anything to amend the situation, the Malignant Red Hypergiant swings past and he is pulled inside and lost within the ultradense flows of molten gas.
Name: Borkle, He-who-punches-your-face
Sphere: Combat and Battle
Power: 20
Notes: TOO SWOLE TO CONTROL. 272 Hearty Boys, 18 Ard Boys
@Credst
“SORRY BRO. THAT AINT HOW I ROLL. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO FUCK WITH YAH ILL GLADLY PITCH IN, BUT YOU GOTTA DO YOUR OWN PROJECTS”
@Attom
“FUCK YEAH! BORKLE APPROVES”
@Flexius
“LAST CHANCE SON. I MUST RETURN MY OTHER DUTIES.”
Return to my ship, with or without Flexius. Fly over to where Aigre is floating towards the Star and catch him/her/it right before she burns up.
“YOUR DEATH IS NOT NOW, LIZARD. YOU HAVE CRIMES TO ANSWER FOR.”
[2]
Borkle pilots his Punchship over to Aigresaur and scoops the lizard thing from the void before it can fall into the Hypergiant. However, as though hungry for the god of Lust, the star races forward to consume them both. The Punchship is swallowed up by the star and battered horribly within the solar furnace. Over half the Hearty Boys and War Beasts die as the ship begins to crumble and melt.
((Here's the next guy since Haku's gonna die either by his hand or by Manor blowing him and the Western continent up, this one's a NEEEEERD! Well, more a philosopher/mage.))
Name: Enryu
God Level: Demigod
Power: 0
Description: A humanoid with a body made of a weird black and red mass and a completely average face born from the thoughts of mortals.
Notes: Just average stuff. Nothing to see here.
Meditate about what the hell is divinity and how it ties into how the universe it works. Everyone uses it but no one seems to know what it is.
Enryu appears on the very southern tip of the Eastern Continent. He sits down and considers the nature of divinity while watching the Malignant Red Hypergiant streak through the void.
[6]
Divinity, he realizes, is a badge of power given to fictional constructs who play out the actions of even greater beings in a world beyond this one. He too is a fictional being, reflection of something beyond.
I will serve you as son must serve, but I would need some worthy hearty bois to crew the vengeful spirit.
Follow up Borkles ship in Vengeful Spirit
Spend 3 power on creating spiritual practices protecting soul of the one learning them from being sent to underworld , so hearty bois are not enslaved by foul death gods or necromancers upon death and can return to Borkle( spiritually ,without body though) . Spread the practices among hearty bois.
name : Flexius the twisted
Appearence : winged figure of heartyboi form hidden in black robes
stuff : vengeful spirit chaos voidship, 30 gifted by Borkle hearty bois, whatever mad chaos creatures I had before, parts and power of some evil cog thing looted from Anaconda
[6]
Flexius, right behind Borkle's ship when it gets consumed by the Malignant Red Hypergiant, manages to Pilot the Vengeful Spirit out of the way, though in doing so collides with the Underworld Barrier.
[2+2]
Flexius Twisted creates a sort of memetic trap; a bit of knowledge that, if known by a mortal, ensnares their soul upon death and traps it in their corpse. However, Flexius forgets that the Hearty Boys, creations of Borkle and the Boypits, lack a soul to ensnare.
Spend 1 power on helping my monks help other mortals. Also, spend 1 power to build them a temple.
Name:Ep.
God level:Minor
Power:5
Sphere:The Weak.
Description:A little brown mouse with an upward-pointing crescent on his forehead.
Notes:Lives in an infinite subspace burrow.
[4+1][6+1]
Ep helps his benevolent mortals spread through out the local area and they silently begin to help all they find, avoiding causing any trouble for themselves or others in the process. Legends of the Monks of Mouse Paw spread quietly among the weak and disenfranchised of the world. At the same time, Ep brings forth a great temple tower, a monolith of stone so grant it actually reaches to the edge of the mortal domain and forms a bridge, bypassing the barrier.
Coil around the gift that Manor is sending me and inspect it closely. Don't allow it to move and do not do anything permanent to it while I inspect it.
"Hello, prince. I am Anaconda. Do tell me about yourself."
Also take some time to tinker with those Mechaserpents. Start by renaming them to be Mechserpents. They're ensouled beings, right? Ask what it is that they want. If it's something reasonable and in my power, help them out with it.
Name: Anaconda
God Level: Minor
Power: 1
Sphere: Machinery and Murder.
Description: The sneaky and brute serpent, which throttles its prey. An aura of floating cogs surround it, praying to the Omniphage for the strength to destroy heretics.
Notes: Ensouled. Fleshy?
Anaconda coils around her new consort and asks him about himself. He says he desires to kill all living things or something equally edgy. She mostly ignores him and slithers over to the Mechserpents. She asks them what they want and they say they seek a way to escape from the meddling of divine beings. Makes sense considering how they died. She considers this, unsure of how to grant the request or if she even can. Most of her power is focused in murder, which is rather the exact opposite of leaving someone alone.
Name: Enal "The Heartless Mind"
God Level: Minor
Sphere: Knowledge, Logic
Power: 1
Description: A strange, shifting, humanoid form. He can't seem to settle on a "logical" form, but he likes the glasses - the one constant.
Notes: "The first one who points out the errors of the universe is a genius. All who follow are imitations."
Alright, Science Ship found... Call it Newton, actually. Newton found, local recruited for the ship's crew... Onwards to... Realize that Anaconda can change colors that was just a little hot wait no this isn't logical
DAMN YOU GOD FEELINGS!
Spend a solid 10 years gathering power by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Chip in the last of my power for this.
"Must... Get... Stronger. Must... Interest... Anaconda!"
[2+1]
Enal struggles to gain power, however, even with a decade of work, he can only break even [+1 power]
Use 1 power: Get in that evil empire and do whatever it takes to make them submit to my and my necromancer pals' rule. Best them in combat. Eat their souls. Threaten them with a skele-ton of puns. Whatever it takes!
Name: Sucker, Demon of Entropy
God Level: Major
Power: 2
Sphere (If major or minor god): Death and Entropy
Description: A Skelton wearing a dark cloak.
Notes: Holds the Edge of Oblivion. A scythe with the power to kill gods and slay souls.
Has impressed some necromancers.
Claim Haku’s portion of the world.
Name: Zarel, Godscorched
God Level: Demi
Power: 0
Sphere (If major or minor god):
Description: A Tiger Giant with an exoskeleton made of Obsidian. Heat and a faint red glow radiate from its joints.
Notes:
[1+1 v 5]
Sucker again attempts to take over the Wizard Murderrealm but Zarel's Theocracy proves too great a force to deny. Zarel claims the crown of Greatest Murderer, though what he will do with his new position as ruler of the civilized world, none can tell.
Lilith uses one power to establish a powerful magical connection between all the creatures within the Forest Barrier, allowing the races to communicate without a spoken tongue. With this increased level of communication and understanding between the races, she creates a political system resembling a republic, where representatives of each race appoint candidates to govern for the term of a decade. She also ensures that while the elected candidate has significant power over the united races, she still has the ability to take the reigns in periods of need. Should she succeed, she dubs her new faction the "United Republic".
Name: Lilith
God Level: Demigod
Power: 5
Sphere: None
Description: An entity born from the fertile flesh of Akahet's more hospitable areas, Lilith is a collection of plant matter that has molded itself into the shape of a humanoid.
[1]
Lilith's attempts to unify the forest dwelling creatures backfire magnificently and instead causes rampant predation and inter-species conflict, creating a biological arms race that drives them to become huge, powerful, and monstrous
Thorn continues to spread its roots in the host. Still not sure which type of sentient being was attracted to it. A dodgy situation indeed. A total roll of the dice...one might day.
Name: Thorn
God Level: Demi
Power: 0
Description: Looks like what ever being ate the peach. Slowly replaces their mind. If the body dies, a bush grows within a day with a single peach.
Notes: Fond of huskies.
.
[2]
Thorn is affixed to a small rabbit creature somewhere in the encapsulated forests of Lilith.
Keep killing chaos creatures, and make armor from their corpses.
Name: Blarg
God Level: Demigod
Power: 5
Description: Looks like a man with a zebra head.
Notes: legendary weapon "Supper's End" It is a baseball bat.
[3]
Blarg continues to fight the remaining forces of chaos but is rather...ineffective at it this decade.
Spread the blood in the southern jungles, for HAKA hungers for followers. A cult, a blood cult it shalt be!
((character sheet please))
[4]
Lizarkar murders random creatures and passerbys in the jungle, screaming about blood and cults. He fails to get any members both because his doctrine is rather vague and second because he keeps murdering anything that gets close enough to ask what he's screaming about.
"I'll deal with you later..."
Spend the remaining one point of power to gain void-gliding abilities.
Name: The Prowler
God Level: Demigod
Power: 1
Sphere (If major or minor god):
Description: A humanoid with extremely thin limbs, elongated and thin torso, long neck, and a human-sized head of a three-eyed dragon with no pupils and white sclera. It's scales are black and shiny.
Notes: Chaos Energy Vorpal Pike
[4+1]
The Prowler builds a sort of personal solar sail and breathing apparatus from the remains of his ship. It should let him move through the void under his own power.
Go around, trying to convince the locals of the joys of giving. If it helps, tell them that they can randomly choose to give anything they want, so therefore giving can be wonderfully chaotic. They can also ask anything they want, and I will try to oblige them with my gift giving power.
Name: the Giving Boar
God Level: Demi
Power: 2
Description: A massive Boar
Notes: The Giving Boar can attempt to fulfill requests for gifts. It is up to the Giving Boar whether or not the person asking is worthy or not. The Giving Boar gives gifts by coughing things up from his mouth.
[3] The giving boar attempts to influence the remaining chaos beings to be more giving. They mostly ignore him.
Since almighty Attom is busy with more important matters, I will supervise the kitchens and boost the production of food elementals.
I will also spend 3 power to cook up some superior arms and armour with which to equip as many of us as I can, making sure to inscribe the equipment with the holy sigils of the Food God, and record their methods of construction into the Holy Cookbook of Attom.
Keep an eye (grain?) on the void, as always.
If any of the hedonist boy vessels come within range, I will jump at the chance to test out the Pressure Cooker, spending 1 power to open fire on them.
If the malignant hypergiant should happen to explode or something, keep another 1 power on hand with which to outrun the blast.
Name: Užina
God Level: Demi
Power: 6 (gained 5 last turn)
Description: A tall, humanoid figure seemingly formed out of flexible breadrolls, with bagel hands and tomato soup in place of blood. Its head is a dark, hefty loaf of rye, with only a couple of creases and a cryptic pattern of seeds and flour resembling anything akin to a 'face'.
Notes: Awakened food elemental.
Aboard Attom's Food Cruiser, armed with a superweapon known as the Pressure Cooker.
[2+2]
Uzina Manages to transform half the Food Elementals into War Food Elementals via the application of personally forged arms and armor.
Name: Vurol
God Level: Minor
Power: 10
Sphere : Slime
Description: A large blob of viscous matter swirling with shocking colours
"Interesting, another god is born, I remember it, it was a part of the mechanical devourer, welcome snake god"
"And TAMER GOD BOY, if you can TAME one of the STAR KRAKEN you can KEEP IT, MAY ITS HUNGER HELPS YOU, MAY YOU STAY WELL FED"
"The neverending lust of the hedonist boys could be useful, we just need to... evolve them..."
Takes one of the orgyship, grand the power of slimy reproduction to its inhabitants
"... Just one method is inefficient, they need to be better..."
Also grants them the power of reproducing through budding
[2]
As though channeling the actions of lost Aigresaur, Vurol attempts to grant the orgyships and their inhabitants increased powers of reproduction. Luckily his attempts fail.
Yeah, this isn't going to work. Got to get networking first, methinks.
Move to another city and take up architecture; try to make an (assumed) name for myself and pick up some rich and influential clients.
Perform the occasional charitable work for free in honour of Ep's teachings.
Name: Cawder
God Level: Demigod
Power: 0
Description: A wizened condor nomad with a scruffy air, whose eyes flash with multicoloured divine light - clearly a result of the great Manor's random boon-granting.
Notes:
[2]
Cawder spends several years in night school trying to become an architect but flunks out.
NPC ACTIONS
[3] The Spider Dreadnought moves to avoid the Hypergiant's future path of destruction.
[3] The wandering fragment of chaos slows and eventually comes to a stop with its remaining ships behind it.
[1] The stationary fragment of chaos is pulled into the Red Hypergiant's enormous gravity well and swallowed up. The Fragment, along with the Boarotaur, Blarg, and the Giving Boar, is destroyed.
[2] The Star Krakens begin to follow the Red Hypergiant, intent on feeding upon it.
[2] Borkle attempts to Fly his Punchship out of the star but it crumbles around him. Vijiriwek, Ultra, Aigre, All the Hearty boys, The perfect female, and all the war beasts are destroyed, but Borkle remains.
[3] Credst manages to escape the Hypergiant, but loses his Spear and Staff in the process.
[1] The Energy Siphon beings lose numbers as the universal entropy level increases sharply with the death of so many gods.
[1] The Mechserpents begin to worship the Malignant Red Giant as the killer of the divine meddlers they so despise.
[1] Many die during the Murderrealm take over and the Theocracy, now without an ideological rival, becomes complacent and stagnant.
[3] The Mouse Paw Monks neither expand nor contract, remaining perfectly balanced.
[5] The slime god machine finally activates. [6,6,5,1,2] Attom's Divine power is torn from him by the God Machine, reducing him to nought but a demigod trapped in a hive of mechanical spiders. With the stolen power the Slime God Machine ascends to a level of power unseen and tears free from the confines of the Universe, vanishing. They are nice enough to return Enal to his ship before doing so however.
[5] The Hedonist Boys and their orgyships cluster together and begin building a grand pleasure station.

We've got a space in the Major gods and that will open one in the Minor gods too. So those of you who now have the greatest Power among the surviving demigods and the Minor gods, raise your hands and say how much power you have. if there's ties, It will come down to a roll.
