Depends. A planet from crystal should need an atmosphere to be created with it. Planets like Natus will get their atmosphere free with them. Basically you could include it with it and if the planet doesn't become too awesome it would still require yet another act.

But let's just wait for me to finish the post first..

Alex makes a sun, then change it so it burns black. I also turn into a small black sun and make a planet composed of moving plates.

Luna creates Maia: a crystal star. Maia is very dim, producting a soft blue light. Its light would be only enough to produce evening or twilight like light on worlds near it.
Luna creates Aether, the shimmering lands Aether takes the form of a ring of land around Maia. All the land, so far, is formed from crystals, the mountains are huge ones, but most of the crystal are tiny, forming a shimmering sand.


Elan creates creatures that live on the planet -- I'm sorry, 'creatures' simply says nothing. You could mean that you created basic life, entire developed food chains, or simple balls of flesh rolling around. I'll store this act for you, so that you can use one the next turn. Your other act, though, I'll discuss it later on the time frame.

Natus creates the planet Natus, a very earth-like planet.

Coradin creates his Palace, a magnificent complex of towers, shifting corridors and canals, also orbiting the black star No life, no really special things: You get to store one act.

Gheranaton creates a planet, Incendium, with many continents, isles and seas of magma. The plane is constantly ravaged by all imaginable nature catastrophes.
Gheranaton creates a great stone hall on Incendium, which can not be harmed by the ravaging catastrophes of its planet.

Elan creates an atmosphere for the planet constructed of plates. I am storing your act, as a planet of plates like the one created by Alex pretty much comes with its own atmosphere as the planets surrounding it influence the others.

Xarn was awakened by the work of the Gods, the altering of the Essence, and the sudden absence of complete void. He smiled sadly, still bearing the many scars of his eternally long loneliness. His formless self came to move, traveling from creation to creation, through them, around them, and inspecting the Gods themselves. His presence was barely to not noticeable, if it wasn't for the mixed emotion of both sadness and joy lightly fulfilling the new Gods as he passed them. Xarn loved them, and he envied them. Without those gods, he was nothing, and if they wouldn't continue their work, he would never be able to actually meet them. His formless form returned to the depths of the void..

Worlds were created, the void itself fleeing from the light of the new stars. Shortly after their creation, the worlds set into motion, the black star the centre of them all. First came the planet of plates, circling closely to the star that had parented it. Further away, Natus, a planet composed of rock and minerals, with a core burning warmly, circled the planet in a calmer pace. Its surface was soon ridden by volcanoes, an atmosphere forming quickly. The seas boiled for a while, but cooled down soon. Some of the excess atmosphere was blasted too far into the void, eventually reaching the planet of plates, which then formed its own atmosphere as well, one to match that of Natus itself. Between those two, somewhat farther in orbit, there was a palace. It was a palace on its own small body, magnificently moving through the void. Somewhere slightly farther from the star than Natus, there was Incendium. Incendium raged, oceans of magma ravaging over vast lands. On those lands there was a great hall, which, however hard the planet tried, did not fail to withstand the catastrophic nature of its home. It's volcanoes constantly spew out thick clouds of gasses, away from the black sun, into the void. This planet was so bright that it showed up as a small star itself, visible throughout the universe. Far away of all those, there was something else orbiting the black star. A small star of it's own, Maia itself was not visible from the black star, but as a vague shimmer, Aether, a ring composed of crystals being a planet in itself, reflected bits of light away. Its beauty lied not only in the material it was made of, but also in the perfection of its creation: From the tiniest crystal to the largest, it was built of massive crystal mountains and tiny grains of crystal, forming a world of the most balanced proportions. With time, this world too stole gasses, those Incendium had spit out in its violent eruptions, and a light, but hospitable atmosphere was formed.

Xarn's slumber would be short, for soon the Gods would work again. Yet they too had to feel alone. He wondered: Would they feel? Would they love? Would they hate? His curiosity was insatiable, and as such he shivered. Once more his form scraped the Essence, creating a gap that would let through new Gods. Xarn drifted off, his dreams of the void now full of hopes.

All the planets now posses an atmosphere.
All planets are in orbit of the giant black star. The sole exception is Aether
Maia orbits the giant black star.

Xarn creates a gap in the Essence, which will let through new Gods. (For this round, I'll just flip a coin for every God on the list. Those that get heads will get in, with a minimum of two.)

I threw FOUR HEADS, which basically means that all the new gods are in. But I demand of you to flavor especially your entrance heavily, as I now have ten Gods to watch over, which will probably be a lot of (nice) work.

Anyways: Lucky bastards.

I knew I forgot something. I was just about to actually edit the following into my post: "If I forgot something, just tell me!"

Well, won't be too much work to edit that in. You forgot to make it bold, so I probably missed it. :-[
Just give me a minute or two to update the post.

The Chained One felt a slight shift in the energies wafting from the barrier. It almost felt like it was weakening, that the Voidwalker would soon have entrance to this strange empty canvas.

Alright. Now, you might want to read through the flavory text again, as your planet got it's own spot in it.

Even more importantly; Let the second turn finally commence!

Right now, they'd enter the list of trapped gods, basically a pool of Gods to once enter the universe.

Awesome, I might just submit this, then:

Name: Frandor
Spheres: Machinery, science, constructions
Personality/traits: Some consider Frandor to be a machine - certainly, the evidence supports such a theory. Frandor thinks and communicates in disjointed words and concepts. Certain tasks are performed with such alacrity as to amaze even the gods, whereas other concepts seem to escape its perception entirely. Frandor values knowledge above all, and supports the gathing and use of the knowledge of its followers.
Appearance: Frandor appears as a sphere about a meter in diameter. The sphere seems unaffected by such forces as gravity. The outer surface of the sphere can change its appearance, but it remains opaque. Frandor usually communicates by contacting the mind of others directly, but can it can make sounds or change its appearance. When Frandor needs to interact with things, it usually does it telepathically, but for more heavy-duty jobs Frandor can sprout tentacles from the surface of the sphere, which then retract after their work is done.

Of course, if the burden of dealing with so many players is a bit much, I'll drop out.

I'll add Frandor to the first post in a minute or two. And no; A burden is lightened by the joy it brings. I'll eventually let in more and more Gods if the game is enjoyable (and if the situation asks of it).

Note, if any players somehow feel mistreated in a way (I overlooked something, didn't understand correctly, or whatever the case would be), just send me a PM.

Coradin's Palace was beautiful, but he still felt it lacked something. It was... too empty. A planet would have to wait. It also seemed too far away from everything, something he had to fix.

Coradin creates a species of living statues of all kinds to act as servants in the Palace, and if needed, guardians.

Coradin also moves the Palace to the orbit of Natus, to serve as it's moon and grant massive artistic talents and a wild imagination for any living creature born under it's gaze

Gheranaton was sitting in his mighty hall, listening to the sound of yet another volcano erupting. He liked the sound, and he was unimaginable proud. Yet, he felt lonely.

"I created a world to test the skills of the bravest of creatures.. Yet here`s no one to brave those dangers." And he pondered for a long time and finally he created many creatures to populate his world.


I will now describe how the ecosystem looks like. And what happens to the dead.

I create many creatures, including:

A race of humanoid, immortal beings, who just look like me. But they only have two arms and wings and are much smaller. They live in the great stone hall, which i name "Refugium" henceforth. They are acting as my servants and are sustained by the violent nature of the world itself. I just call them "firstborn". They also see to the needs of my chosen ones and recite their heroic deeds in never ending ballads.

Then i create several dinosaur like creatures, both great and small in various shapes. Some of them are herbivores and eat the sparse vegetation on Incendium, but most of them are carnivores which eat flesh. Imagine them as standard dinosaur like creatures, really.
Some of them can also fly. They drink water.

The magma seas i fill with fish, giant snakes, giant tortoises (The shells of them might be used to build boats that are able to cross the lava seas.) and kraken who are able to survive in the lava. They eat each other but are also partly sustained by the lava. The krakens and the sea snakes also have a habit to attack land dwellers, if they come within reach.

The pools and rivers filled with ordinary water are inhabited only be harmless fish.

Then i create several strange elemental creatures. They aren`t born like natural creatures but take spontaneously form. Notable kinds of elementals include:

-Thunder Birds; Which are consisting of smoke and lightning. They feed on thunderclouds.

-Stone Giants; Which are giants in various forms (Some of them look human, some of them mimic the other wildlife.) They are very aggressive and as their name implies made of rocks.

-Fire Spirits; Sometimes a fire on Incendium becomes "Sentient". Those Spirits then take simple humanoid forms and attack anything in sight. Usually they live only a few minutes.

-Withered trees; Some of the (usually dead and burned) trees of incendium are sentient and lust for blood. They grab creatures with their branches, crush them and then drink their blood with their roots.

-The Ceased; They are "spirits" which reanimate dead bones.. They are also bloodthirsty and hunt the living. Once their stolen body is destroyed they seek a new one.

-Magma men; They live in the volcanoes. Whenever a volcano erupts they follow the magma flow and slaugther every living creature they encounter. Once a eruption is over they return to their volcano and wait for the next.

-Avengers; They are the most strange of elementals. They look somewhat human, but with twisted, demonic, features. Whenever someone on incendium shows cowardice one might appear to fight that wretched creature. If a coward summons up enough bravery to fight the avenger honorable he is absolved of all his sins. Though, most of the time he also dies at the hand of the avenger. Those who don`t fight the avenger honorable are confined to a dark place deep within Incendium where they have to face their greatest fears. For all eternity.

I also create some non elemental, non dinosaur like creatures, like:

-Great Worms; Which are really, really, big worms that burrow through the hard soil and even through solid stone. They gorge the countless minerals that are buried within the earth. They occasionally burrow to the surface, where they often fight other creatures. They can`t survive in magma and are anxious to evade it.

-Giants; Which are giant humanoids. They have a primitive, nomadic culture centered around honorable combat. If they die the brave and honorable ones are reborn. When they are reborn they remember nothing, but the foes they have slain in their previous lives.

-The Ferals; Those are normal sized humanoids. Their skin is dark and like the giants they live in nomadic tribes (Most of the time. There are some settlements, usually located in somewhat sheltered places.) Some brave ones even sail the magma seas with boats made of giant turtle shells. They are intelligent, but they rather think of survival than of science. They hunt dinosaurs to feed themselves and need to drink water.

If one of the ferals dies in a heroic manner he is taken to the refugium and revived. From now on he is immortal and whenever he dies he is reborn the day after. They practice their fighting skills the whole day and feast every night. Most of them also wander Incendium from time to time in search for creatures they can fight.

-Dragons; (Do i really have to describe them?) They are intelligent, giant lizards with wings. They can spew fire. They are the most feared predators on incendium and they eat every other, living, creature. They drink lava and are immortal; Though they can be killed in combat. If a Dragon dies he is taken to the refugium where they live on as honored mounts for my chosen.

All other creatures simply perish when they die.



If i still have enough power to do something (Well, i just created a complex ecosystem..) I`d like to search for other gods in the void with similiar interests.

Alex decides, that no matter how cool revolving plates were, they needed populating. But first, the land needed renovating. One one panel, he raised the ground to become jagged mountains. The next was covered in a vast forest. The following was turned into a giant swimming pool, The one after that was simply turned into a solid cloud. He then decided to populate the mountain area. He scattered it with small, fat humanoid creatures with long beards and great strength. He calls them dwarves.

Alex creates the planes, and adds Dwarves to the mountains.
