Thanks for all the sheets submitted so far! Given there is a fair amount of players so far, I guess the game may be able to start later today.

I have feelings by the wording of the OP that elemental gods are like early-game weaker but more flexible over the course of the game.


That's indeed the overall plan.

Name: Motion like Violence
Physical Description: A hydra constantly biting itself and tearing off its own heads, only for more heads to grow in their place.
Personality: She is a conflicted deity, as befits violence, seeking to fight herself, and also others, but also seeking to gift them with the divinity of violence, so they can become more than they are. She who is Motion Like Violence dislikes being trapped or imprisoned or constrained.
Origin: Violence
Origin description: Where more than one exists, there is violence. Action. Pitting their bodies and minds against each other, a competition for resources, pride, greed or even just luck. Killing and being killed, cycle of bloodshed, over and over. Cut yourself with violence to become greater. Violence is hate, violence is love, violence is freedom and above all, violence is power. And through violence, reach heaven.

The following players are in! Which is, everyone :p

Also I updated the prices in the OP, with prices for groups, species, and such. And there is a bit more meat to the battle explanations. And templates.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

"Probably a good idea, Acter."
Yanks back to maybe completing the ecosystem proposal. Maybe.

"Original Gods"-only turn is over, other players may start posting!

Furthermore, a big change about Gates (the way to move from one plane to another). At first, Gates allowed anyone to use them, but it would have potentially caused big problems in the future (especially in term of security).

So now, there will be different tiers of Gates. Low tier Gates will not allow high tier entities to pass through, preventing things a bit too strong from flooding easily anywhere.


True Gate: Allows passage without tier restriction
Major Gate: Restrict passage to entities of Tier 3 max
Minor Gate: Restrict passage to entities of Tier 2 max

The tier of a Gate adds a cost modifier to the Gate.

True Gate: +4 Power
Major Gate: +2 Power
Minor Gate: No modifier

Gate costs have been updated, as I made a lot of mistakes in that part.

Quote
Gate from Mortal Plane to Subdomain: 3 Power (2 Power if from Subdomain)
Gate from Mortal Plane to Domain: 4 Power (3 Power if from Domain)
Gate from Mortal Plane to Source: 7 Power [Can only be created from the Source side]

Gate from Subdomain to Domain: 2 Power (1 Power if from Domain)
Gate from Subdomain to Source: 4 Power [Can only be created from the Source side]

Gate from Domain to Source: 4 Power (1 Power if from Source)

Gate from Corrupted Plane to Mortal Plane: 2 Power (3 Power if from Mortal Plane)
Gate from Corrupted Plane to Subdomain: 2 Power (3 Power if from Subdomain)
Gate from Corrupted Plane to Domain: 4 Power
Gate from Corrupted Plane to Source: 6 Power [Can only be created from the Source side] [Is also a terribly bad idea if you are not a Corrupted God, I warned you]
Non-Corrupted Modifier: +2 Power cost to Gates connecting to a Corrupted Plane if not aligned to the Corrupted Plane.


Gate from Corrupted Plane to another Corrupted Plane: 2 Power
Gate from Corrupted Domain to Corrupted Domain (within same Corrupted Plane): 1 Power



Gate Cost Modifiers [Only affect Gates connecting to the Mortal Plane]
Distant Phase: +3 Power
Rising Phase: +1 Power
Converging Phase: -1 Power
Apex Phase: -3 Power


Furthermore, Alteration rules and costs have been added in the Price Sheet!

Quote
Alteration:
If you can create, you can also alter creations. You cannot alter a creation under the Blessing of a God, without countering the Blessing with a Curse.

Altering a Tier 4 Entity: 5 Power / 12 Power (Several)
Altering a Tier 3 Entity: 4 Power / 8 Power (Several)
Altering a Tier 2 Entity: 2 Power / 4 Power (Several)
Altering a Tier 1 Entity: 1 Power (Unit) / 2 Power (Several)

Origin Modifier: -1 (Compatible)
Origin Modifier: 0 (Strong)
Origin Modifier: +1 (Neutral)
Origin Modifier: +3 (Weak)


Change its Origin: +0 (if Compatible)
Change its Origin: +1 (if new Origin is Strong)
Change its Origin: +2 (if new Origin is Neutral)
Change its Origin: +3 (if new Origin is Weak)


Also, to maintain a Gate open, the maintainer must remain in one of the connected planes. If they leave one of these planes, the Gate collapses.

Also do not hesitate to ask questions. If you want to undertake something risky, feel free to ask me stuff before committing.

Switching to not corrupt!

Name:  Arkai
Physical Description: Arkai is a three headed snake. Each head is a long thick snake, which represents an aspect of life. The first head is composed of water with deep glowing blue eyes. Coral reefs form a great crest along it's spine. The second is a bark covered snake with glowing green eyes. It has antlers with a mini sun floating between them. A snow capped mountain range serves it's spine, and it has vaporous green eyes.  The third is a snake composed of a maelstrom of swirling darkness. It has a wide cavernouse mouth with glinting yellow eyes. The three snakes connect to a larger snake body composed of earth and stone with silver scales covering most of its back. The center head's crest continues down to the tail.
Personality: Arkai is a fickle god. It seeks to spread life to the universe, and sees others not for their affinity, but for their propensity to life. It can be horribly indecisive.
Elements (up to 3): Life
Elements description: Life is simply all things which live or relate to the sustaining of life.
