World Difficulty: 78. Outside the view port you see an alleyway in what appears to be a very large city. Skyscrapers reach for the sky all around you, and just around the corner you can make out the sound of many people talking and going about their buisness. At the end of the alley you can just make out a red-and-white steel tower in the distance.

Buy some Boneforging Equipment
Then Craft whale bone into a staff with crab chitin and crab legs as decoration. Any extra bones will be placed into group storage.
Spending 250 influence, you request equipment to help you forge metal with bone. In responce a snake-like metal tube slides out of the wall, and a needle at the end stabs into your temple, within moments you have added knowledge about bone composition and metal compatability. +1 boneforging equipment [note: boneforging is making something out of metal and bone fused together]
attempt: 90
quality: 97 o.o
base influence: 92 +97=189
Lowering the great sparkling set of whale bones to the ground, you slowly walk around the skeleton looking for just the right piece. Your focus seems as immense as the beast that used to live before you. With a cry of triumph, you choose your bone. A single massive rib bone, exactly the length you wish it. Grabbing up a piece of the neon red chitin, and a handful of crab legs, you set down and begin to work. Sculpting the bone with your power seems a simple task, as you carve, shave, shape, and connect everything together into an powerfull artefact.

!base influence:189!Go Gather by holding up people with the chainsaw.
attempt: 10+3=13
You rush out into the city, with the idea of mugging random people for whatever items they may be holding. You find a good spot, wait for a target, prepare to pounce, and go to start up your chainsaw... Wait? what chainsaw? You realize that you put the chainsaw in group storage before, and forgot to pick it back up again, you grumble and trudge back to the ship depressed.

I !!!CRAFT!!! By gathering all the 3 lumps of plasma and weaving two of them into cloth.
attempt: 14+20=34
Fresh from your aeon nap, you rush into the deep end, using your god given powers to claim the last amount of orange-sun plasma. You plan a little star weaving, but don't quite have the skill with your new powers just yet, and manage to burn your hands while trying to weave. You decide to stop crafting and practice power control a bit before continuing.

Craft. I take my recently aquired rainbow shell and make a sword out of it. I shall name it Rainbow. Put it in my inventory.
attempt: 56-10=46
The crystaline rainbow shell glimmers with hidden power. You solidify your power into a hammer and anvil and place the shell shard in between. The first strike throws you back against a bulkhead as a flash of power is released. Luckily nothing is damaged and the shard remains, pulsing as quietly and innocently as always.

Craft. Engrave on one small piece of small neon-red crab chitin a wish to have something more malleable.
attempt: 49+20=69
quality: 64
base influence: 54
Taking the last small crab chitin piece not currently on a live crab, you focus your power into a tiny point. engraving your wish for materials dosen't seem to bring anything from the ether, but the piece of shell does make a rather interesting tablet to wax poetic about your material needs.

!base influence:54!Note: you can always spend some of that MASSIVE amount of influence to buy some gather equipment and go find things yourself you know?
YESSS A CITEEEEEEEEE! Can someone trade me an industrial strength rubber conveyor belt? This seems pretty 21st century, so they should have it. Trade my silk, if you have to.
Try it again.
Note: you wouldn't be able to trade the silk anyway, you can only trade things with influence, the point of trading is spreading the impression of your god with items you or other creators have made.

Frustrated at the lack of success in your grand design. You turn your powers inward. Deep, deep inside your mortal soul you do dive. A world of visual flashes and electical strikes blast by your ethreal self. You push forward. Feeling resistance, you strike out with all the strength your mind can muster. A small tear appears in the fabric of this existance. It grows slowly at first, eventually rampaging as a massive fissure in your inner world. Darting forward the inner world dissapears and you find yourself standing in a stark white.
Hanging from a chain before you is a brightly colored piņata. However this piņata is made of silk. Grabbing the metal baseball bat that suddenly appears, you strike at the cloth donkey hanging before you. Again and again you smash the silken annoyance that has frustrated you for so long. After what seems like hours you hear a sharp crack, and the silk piņata shatters like glass, taking the world with it.
You wake at your workstation. Alarm lights are flashing all around you, and the foot deep depression around you glows with melted metal(like the start of terminator). You blink and look before you in awe. Sparking from the lime green sphere, your creation hums smoothly as the seemless welds and smooth-plastic looking sheen covers the whole object. Robert J. Van de Graaff himself would be proud.
You wonder what exactly happened, when the lights fade, and a nearby readout says:
'Lord Hephaestus life signs returning to normal~'

Added you to the wait list 100killer9 for cycle 3, be sure to give me a character type, and a name if you like before we start that cycle.
I dunno, but... rocks and sand? Seems like it'd be really easy to find...
The city could have a beach (like Santa Cruz), there could be a Home Depot, people could have rocks in their gardens or on the sidewalks (you know in neighborhood areas where there's a bit between the sidewalk and the street with rocks or trees)... you could take cement, is that made out of rocks?
All quite possible. Very few worlds will be devoid of anything, that star was probably the harshest we will get in the way of lack of source materials.
You should embrace the local natures. We could take these people's primitive gadgets and forge masterworks beyond their imaginings!
*glances back up at the post* Funny you should say that, hehe
