[Roboson]

Before the beginning of time the gods have worked ever so diligently to bring new and interesting worlds. Now as the creation of another new world dawns, many divine beings have drawn near. While your power is great and your will mighty, their numbers are many and their strength may be beneficial. Many a magical being, mage, and monstrosity would rally behind you if you appease their demands. As a god, it is for you to decide what makes it into this world and what does not. Chose your pieces wisely for there are those who may seek dominion over your domain.

In this game players will each play one god of many. Each turn players will receive an allowance of divine energy which will allow them to influence the world. In addition, each turn other entities will make you offers of allegiance and power in the developing world. You may chose to use some of your energy to fulfill their request (and receive a reward) or you may devote your energy to bringing your own vision into the material world.

Like most god games there isn't really a victory scenario. The game is about finding your own goals, creation, and doing what you'd do if you were a god. Now that doesn't mean you can't try to destroy other god's work, because you chose your own goals, you can act however you desire.

God Name:
Sphere(s): (2 max, otherwise it gets messy)
Appearance: (You have a physical body, if it dies, you die)
Personality (optional):
Goals (optional):

There are the other powerful entities who will try to make their way into the physical world.

Spoiler: Other Major Entities (click to show/hide)

Demi-gods: These powerful beings may be the patron god of a race, they may embody an ideal like justice or mischief, or they may just be a lesser god who isn't capable of interacting with the world like you. Whichever category these fit in, its safe to say that they have some real power.

Demons: These infernal creatures are dangerous creatures from the realms of hell. They have a wide range of powers and goals. Some may want direct entry into the world, others may desire other favors and deals.

Eldritch abomination: These incomprehensible beings are powerful, but distant. They exist far from the material plane and their power there and in the realm of the gods is weakened by the vast distance. That being said, they have some truly powerful and interesting things to offer you.

Titan: These powerful beings have existed as long as the gods, but are very crude in their existence and creation abilities. They often appear as a loosely constructed being made out of one element or another and their ability to interact with the material world is lacking. Plus, they hate the gods. If a titan is coming to the gods, they must really want something.

Spoiler:  Lesser Entities (click to show/hide)

Angel: A moderately powerful divine being. May be interested in the material world, may embody an ideal. Ultimately they're a decent addition to any god's garrison.

Lesser demon: A denizen of Hell, often seen trying to make deals.

Undead Spirit: These spirits from beyond the grave typically include liches and other powerful undead creatures who are seeking to regain life in a new land or destroy life there.

Abomination: These mindless monstrosities are dangerous and uncontrollable. They are incredibly varied, interesting, and difficult to kill. They really shake things up.

Serpent: A being of cunning a guile. They will try to find a way to slip into your realm and corrupt it somehow.

Monster: These are typically beings seeking entrance into the physical world. Minotuars, giants, sea monsters. That sort of thing.

At the start of the game given 10 Acts. There are several ways to gain acts, but the most common of which is worship. Some acts will be limited to specific spheres. These can be spent to add things in the world, smite creatures, cause natural disasters and all other godly actions. Below are some guidelines to help understand how much an act is worth. When in doubt, do a price check in the OOC. Otherwise I'll interpret you action as using however many acts you put in. If it is not enough, the act could fizzle or even backfire on you. And there are no refunds, even if it fizzles. Minor acts are small acts that allow you to finesse your control over the world. They're typically used when precision is required (like when talking to mortals via dreams or sending an avatar to earth, and everything else where an act would be overkill). 1 Act can be converted to 2 Minor Acts.

Disasters and Acts of God:
5 acts: Global Cataclysmic Disaster or global blessing.
4 acts: Semi-global Cataclysm or semi-global act of god.
3 acts: Hemisphere Catastrophe or blessing that affects half the world.
2 acts: Regional turmoil and destruction or blessing that effects a region.
1 act: Localized natural disaster or act of god.
Minor Act: Minor disaster or blessing.

Creation of Life:
5 acts: Demi-god.
4 acts: Minor powerful being (Angels, demons, abominations, basically any world power creature.)
3 acts: A mortal race.
3 acts: A plethora of basic and mundane species (Ecosystem kickstarter)
2-3 acts: Large creatures with dangerous potential (semi-megabeasts and megabeast levels of power).
1 act: A complex or magical animal
Minor act: A plant or simple/mundane animal.

Landmark Creation
5 acts: A new landmark that could effect the entire world or is extremely powerful.
4 acts: A very large or powerful landmark.
3 acts: A magical landmark the size of a dungeon (So a labyrinth, a necropolis, or other similarly sized large magical construct).
2 acts: A mundane landmark/construct like a large city, a mountain range, or a sea.
1 acts: A very small magical landmark or a mundane landmark the size of a small city.

New Locations
 Adding a new location to the world is tricky and should probably be pricechecked. The base cost is 2 acts, and this gets you barren landscape which can support life, but is completely devoid of it. The size of this area is fairly nebulous, and left mostly to player discretion. Really big areas may cost extra.

Artifacts
5 acts: A powerful artifact that has the potential to affect large parts of the world.
3 acts: An artifact that can effect regions. 
1 acts: An artifact that can effect a small area or a few individuals.
* The effect given also effects price.

Magic
4 acts: A source of magic (lay lines, magic crystals, giant tree, solar power, free floating mana, ect. ect.)
2 acts: A minor spell of your design.
1 act: A minor spell designed by your people with some of your influence.
Minor act: A random minor spell.
*Magic is going to be balanced by me to prevent OP spells from winning the game. Magic is mortal, and unlike divinity, not perfect.

Resurrection:
Can be done on historical figures only. So heroes, demi-gods, monstrosities, that sort of thing. Cost is 75% of original cost rounded up. Mass resurrections are incredibly difficult even for gods, and even normal resurrections may have unintended side effects.

Heros
Various Cost: A mortal which you can influence and communicate with directly.

Divine Shield
1) Assets belonging to another god are covered by a divine shield, which prevents uncounterable attacks against player assets. Throwing a mountain at enemy civilization? Ok. Instantaneously teleporting a mountain around enemy civilization killing them instantly? Not ok.
2) Any time a large number of your worshipers, species of which you are patron to, artifact, significant area, hero, or other significant aspect is in immediate danger. A god is given the opportunity to protect that asset. This does not guarantee that they will be able to protect them, or that their counter will work, it just means they get the chance. This is called Divine Intervention. If you see an act that meets the above description, feel free to respond to it by marking your post as Divine Intervention at the start of the post. Basically, its a warning system to let you know you're being attacked in a way that could potentially take you out of the game, and gives you a chance to go on the defensive.

[Kilojoule Proton]

God Name: Aiei
Sphere(s): Nature, Undeath
Appearance: A hulking giant of vine, wood, and bone, Aiei could easily be mistaken for an old, rotted tree. Aiei speaks and moves languorously and often aimlessly, because what is a month to the Goddess of Permanence?
Personality (optional): Caring yet detached from the feverish pace and immediate concerns of mortals, Aiei prefers to slowly wander the wilds of the world while admiring its beauty and instructing the occasional mortal on how to better appreciate it. Those who remain in Aiei's presence for a long time gradually gain some measure of her immortality and her appearance and eventually become mythic vine folk of the woods.

Aiei rather dislikes fire and harsh sunlight, which she considers antithetical to static permanence.
Goals (optional): Nurture, watch, spread the "gift" of undeath-immortality-plantification to all

Spoiler: Archived sheets (click to show/hide)

God Name: Atuktulutuktuk, or some say Atuktulutuktuk-tuktuk
Sphere(s): Rain, Perseverance
Appearance: An unremarkable small blue reptilian (a kobold, perhaps?) wielding a small wooden mallet.
Personality (optional): Has a can-do attitude and an endless well of patience. Even the smallest streams can carve canyons! Atuktulutuktuk enjoys working closely with mortals as they go about their business farming crops, making pottery, and especially building structures and sculpting statues. Those who have worked alongside Atuktulutuktuk and thus earned his favor are granted blessings of rain and unmatched stamina. Nevertheless, some things mortals do do upset Atuktulutuktuk. Chief among these is cutting corners*; although Atuktulutuktuk doesn't necessarily expect any individual mortal to be able to complete a megaproject singlehandedly, Atuktulutuktuk does expect an honest effort from all participants.
Goals (optional): Create great monuments and sculptures, defend and empower mortals against all threats, construct buildings and craft lots of furniture, and maybe make a few nice canyons and fjords if everything works out.

* This may or may not extend to a burning hatred for rounded rectangles

God Name: Sulimean [sic]
Sphere(s): Hunger, Fire
Appearance: A grayish green slime swallowing everything in its considerable reach. It watches for its next snack through many eyes sitting atop its many stalks. Gouts of cleansing, flensing fire, accompanied by ominous humming, periodically erupt from its largest eyestalk to incinerate particularly large or fast meals. Despite his sluggish appearance, Sulimean is occasionally capable of leaping to close in on his quarry.
Personality (optional): Voracious to the extreme and constantly hungry, Sulimean wishes to taste a little of everything the world has to offer. Otherwise a god of simple taste, it is said that Sulimean recognizes only the acts of feeding, fighting, befriending, and bathing.
Goals (optional): Meet everyone, sample everything, and eat everything.

God Name: Aiei
Sphere(s): Nature, Undeath
Appearance: A hulking giant of vine, wood, and bone, Aiei could easily be mistaken for an old, rotted tree. Aiei speaks and moves languorously and often aimlessly, because what is a month to the Goddess of Permanence?
Personality (optional): Caring yet detached from the feverish pace and immediate concerns of mortals, Aiei prefers to slowly wander the wilds of the world while admiring its beauty and instructing the occasional mortal on how to better appreciate it. Those who remain in Aiei's presence for a long time gradually gain some measure of her immortality and her appearance and eventually become mythic vine folk of the woods.

Aiei rather dislikes fire and harsh sunlight, which she considers antithetical to static permanence.
Goals (optional): Nurture, watch, spread the "gift" of undeath-immortality-plantification to all

God Name: Ald Sothoth
Sphere(s): Correspondence, Space
Appearance: A roiling mass of ever-changing spheres growing and shrinking and groaning and shrieking before whom the grand and minute and the year and small seem one and the same.
Personality (optional): Inscrutable and incomprehensible, Ald Sothoth simply is and yet cannot be said to be yet or have been in the past. Its very presence is damaging to reality, and those who behold Its shifting form do so at their own peril, for reason itself shudders and withers away before the manifestation strange principles of correspondence between the vast and the singular.
Goals (optional): ? ? ?

God Name: The Fae King (aka Mungletorbskipfrog Tibbletreesmilecrown)
Sphere(s): Mischief, Exchange
Appearance: An elfin piper, a frog, a dog, or a giant talking mushroom, but always with eyes greener than the leaves of the Merry Wood. Usually accompanied by similar figures.
Personality (optional): The Fae King is a jolly, volatile sort who spends most of his time dancing to festive music from his flute. Those with the fortune of meeting him in person are granted three boons lasting three months following which the Fae King takes them back with all the unpleasantness that implies and feasts on the impudent wisher (unless they manage to guess his true name). Crafty mortals who instead request an exchange are less likely to meet such an end, but not by much; the Fae King delights in subverting the foolish wishes of mortals and teaching them some frequently terminal humility.

Occasionally, the Fae King and his entourage work their mischief on those who dare build their homes near or in his demesne. Some say that placing iron on one's door can ward off the elves, and some say that simply not inviting them in suffices. Of course, some say that denying the Fae hospitality has lethal consequences...
Goals (optional): Hear exciting stories! See mortals' stories come to fruition! See heroes rise and complete their quests! And eat haughty mortals!

God Name: Squarrel
Sphere(s):
Appearance: A cube with large rectangular eyes and angry eyebrows.
Personality (optional): Always angry, all the time. Hates spheres and round things in general with a burning passion. Detests gravity for making things take curved paths to the ground. Squishes any ball he can find.
Goals (optional): Remove all spheres from existence, even those still attached to gods.

[NRDL]

God Name: Nixos
Sphere(s): Strength, Challenge
Appearance: A large bearded man, with skin like granite. His eyes are empty voids.
Personality (optional): Grim and uncaring of pretence or finery, he desires nothing more than the cultivation and expression of strength, in whatever form.
Goals (optional): Become stronger. Make everything else stronger, if they are deemed interesting.

[Glass]

Spoiler: Hi, it's Acter again. He's getting kinda old. (click to show/hide)

God Name: Acter Nobody
Sphere(s): Improvement, Mortals
Appearance: Fundamentally, Acter appears as a crude outline of a humanoid creature. There are no details to these parts, merely the basic shapes of the pieces of the body they are meant to represent - cylinders stand in for upper and lower limbs, an oval stands for the head, the torso is a wide hourglass shape. However, where these pieces join together, cogwork holds them together, and brass gears, held together with steel framework, grind past each other to allow for movement. Beyond his own physical composition, Acter is cloaked in words and numbers, a shroud of philosophy and physics, history and hypotheses. In contrast, the book clutched in his left hand is blank, with a black cover and golden pages; look into it, however, and infinite possibilities are reflected. His right hand, meanwhile, desperately grasps his shovel - old, battered, and dirty, as much a support as a tool. He stands, not tall, but hunched over, the weight of aeons pushing down on this old god. Finally, where his face would be, Acter wears the damaged remains of a blank mask; only one eye remains, and cracks extend from the jagged break that has removed the top-left third of the item.
Personality (optional): Weary but kindhearted, Acter would often prefer the opportunity to build peace from pieces, and to gently push the mortals he creates to collective greatness. Should he see injustice, however, he will frequently take it upon himself to fix the problem - preferably with words, but he has been known to muster significant forces to bear when necessary.
Goals (optional): Create and maintain an environment where mortals can develop and thrive.

[Shadowclaw777]

God Name: Ytlili
Spheres: Avarice, Beauty
Appearance: Is a giant rainbow-coloured amalgamation of a fish-like humanoid, that ends it lower body in a fish tail, though the upper half has scaled arms and a somewhat feminine humanoid body as well as her paradigmatic facial features of a monstrous grouper to anglerfish for her mouth and head, with seaweed shouder-length hair and a starfish ear piercing, a siren. Though to the eye of the beholder, any creature that looks upon her will see the most eye-catching and hypnotic form to the other, this illusory reflection is a one of beauty and deceit that appeals to the other creature’s form of beauty
Personality: Ytili is puffed-up and self-congratulatory demeanor, and is easily flattered though that hides her greedy, opportunist nature. She is covetous, and while keeps her calm and cooled expression with her clients and associates anytime that she is backstabbed or betrayed she becomes frenzied like a quipper and will not easily grow trustful to someone who had bad intentions and acts in the past, inquisitive of other inner nature if you will.
Goals: To establish the world entirely beautiful and wholesome as she imagined it in with all her subservient sycophants and fawners and all, all to ferment her vision. This vision primarily being the attempt to generate the most amount of physical wealth and god-like metaphorical resource of wealth (Acts) to be the richest god a place she could be in a universe, and create a mercantile empire from this.

[micelus]

God Name: Kosaritencku
Sphere(s): Children, Mysticism
Appearance: A scaly cylinder covered in oozing rhythmic feather flaps. At either end of the cylinder are two faces that look outwards. One bears a sunken humanoid face, that bears the mark of youth, but with milkened eyes. It is eternally serene with a barely open mouth, although tears flow from its nose and teeth. The other face is that of a cyclopean snake, its mouth wide agape at all times. It has the look of fear in its eye, which is red and furry. Its mouth is full of sores and its fangs growing in the fashion of a rat. Around the central section of the column are eight pairs of legs, four resembling those of a coconut crab, and four more inter-spaced between them resembling those of a gorilla. A necklace of beating lungs adorns Kosaritencku's upper face (which this is depends on the time and day), whilst silvery strands of jarred honey dangle around its nether regions.
Personality (optional): Kosaritencku LOVES all beings in their own way and seeks to show this love at the best and most opportune moment. They are generous and patient and understanding and all-encompassing in their love, offering all it can in the way it believes is appropriate.
Goals (optional):Kosaritencku loves all things and sees the beauty-wonder in all things. In every child there is a spark of love, though it is not always seen by the eyes of mortal men. Kosaritencku sees this and loves them. All beings have children and in a way, were children themselves. Kosaritencku loves them all, for it cannot bear any in the ways of cell or beast. Kosaritencku wishes to bear the parent-bond in its womb that is without corpus. As a being of its sense, it however, sees the manner of the parent-bond differently, seeing it through the lines and leys of the High Astral than in the matter of chemistry that compose that of the waking mind.

Goal: (Initial) Try and figure out how he got to this "plane of existence" and how he become a God of all things in the first place.
