Part 1: HereThe small world formed by great celestial powers host a tenacious array of lifeforms. In the wake of a glaciation event that tested its ability to survive, the first communal forms have emerged. The emergence of multicellularity marks the Ascent of Life. How To PlayYou play as a powerful, immaterial entity that many would refer to as a "god." To interact with the physical plane, type "Action: " and then specify what you wish to do. The success or failure of this divine intervention will be decided by a (digital) 20-faced dice roll. You are free to remain idle, rather than intervene in material existence. Character SheetVeterans can play as their god from Part 1, or they can make a new one. Name: (can be as mundane as "Steve," or eldritch as "Za'agnuthlas") Type: (see below) Bio: (your past and/or general description, can be as long as you need it to be) Here are some general examples of "types" of god, although you are not limited to them: God of Fire-Starting fires wherever, whenever -Directing magma and lava -Increasing global temperatures God of Earth-Making landforms from surrounding matter -Manipulating gravity -Shifting the continents God of Life-Accelerating evolution -Unleashing pathogens -Reviving extinct species from fossils God of Water-Switching available water between solid and liquid state -Directing and diverting glaciers, icebergs, and water flow -Manipulating humongous waves God of Air-Manipulating the winds -Summoning immense storms -Impeding or helping pyroclastic flows Current System- G-Class Star: This yellow dwarf is the largest and most influential body in the system, and is located at its center. It forms a trinary system with its fellow two stars.
- K-Class Star: This orange dwarf forms a tinary system with its kin.
- M-Class Star: This red dwarf is the smallest participant in the tinary star system.
[li]Dwarf Planet: This small, rocky sphere has no atmosphere due to the constant barrage of solar winds.[/li] [li]Terrestrial Planet: The "main planet" has an oxygenated atmosphere, and its seas are home to simple multicellular life (algae and tiny sponges). Its continents are a down-facing semicircle slightly to the north, its former other half to the south, a north-opening "crescent" hosting a caldera with a giant crystal (created by an earth god), and a lung-like pair of continents due south of the semicircles. There is also a small landmass that formed the eastern part of a continent before it split into the semicircles, and now drifts toward the crescent-shaped one.[/li] - Moon: This small moon orbits the main planet, and exerts tidal force on its oceans.
[li]Ice Giant: This large, blue, gaseous planet sports a mantle of heavy gases like nitrogen. It is orbited by a ring system, as well as a plethora of small moons.[/li][/ul] |

Name: Nal'onor 'the Watcher'
Type: Life
Bio: Nal'onor is a truly mysterious diety. Many suspect him to be one of the first dieties from the Dawn of Time. This, however, is not supported by any known fact. All that is known about Nal'onor, is that he Watches and Observes All. What this exactly means, is unkown. Unlike most other gods, who seem to feel called to create something, nal'onor has not created any world, nor contributed to one for almost all His life. For some, as of yet unkown, reason, he has recently started to become more active, and has helped in the creation of the New World. When asked why, he simply replied with 'I was asleep. Now I am awake." Nal'onor looks like a strange green shadow of an old man, with large bright illumeniscnet green eyes.

Same character as last time

He has seen much and is once again on the move, to build a civilization that will stand the test of time

Is it possible to be Time deity? Yep, controlling time is allowed. I think the ideas from the previous thread include speeding certain things up, and going back if things go badly. |

Name: Ira
Type: Fire
Bio: A truly ancient being. He has witnessed many planetary births and relished their immolation at his hands. He is one of the few survivors following a devastating battle between two fire gods in the early universe; a battle in which Ira emerged victorious. Despite having slain the fire god, Ira was dealt a traumatic blow to his physical form, which caused him to lose his memories. In his last moments of lucidity, Ira realized he had overexerted his abilities and cocooned himself within the nearest star to restore his power. Many billions of years later, Ira emerges restored physically, but not quite yet mentally. He learns of the other gods and even helps them to form a solar system, until all at once Ira's memory returns. Hatred for life and a penchant for destruction run through him as The Sunborne realizes his true identity.

Name: The Eternal One
Type: Time
Bio: Not much is known about the mysterious Eternal One, only that it has seemingly existed since the beginning of time and as such holds sway over it. It is willing to reverse time or move it forward to correct mistakes as it sees fit. In a sense, The Eternal One may have been the first god ever to exist. It seems to enjoy keeping balance, not too much destruction, not too much creation. The Eternal One also seems to be a loner, often ignoring the workings of other ascended beings unless it disrupts it's concept of balance, where it will often reverse time to undo the mistake.

Are we allowed to have multiple gods? I have an idea for a new character, though I'm not yet sure what their powers should be.

name: Zagra 'The Great Serpent'
Type: Time
Bio: Zagra is a reletivly young god, being created by an ancient Time God as weapon. He was used to win a war against a powerfull Air God. After winning this war, he became the godly apprentice of his creator. His creator used him as more of a weapon if anything, telling him to fight any enemies his Master might have made. Zagra, however, is a narcecistic god. He loved the fame he god from killing his masters enemies, but in the end it was his master who took most of the fame. After a while, Zagra decided to kill his ancient master, so that might take the glory. Since then, he has became infamous for going to new-born planets and forcing any possible sapient inhabitants to worship him, in all his majestic glory. He tends to think low of mortals, only seeing them as slaves to worship him. He does have great respect for other gods, provided they do not stand in his way.
He looks like a giant feathered serpent with great wings, filled with intrinsic, beautfill patterns, on them.

Totally not copy/pasted from my old bio.
Totally.
Name: Argaine
Type: God of Earth
Bio: Argaine is an ancient being. He has witnessed many billions of planetary births and watched all things crumble before him, although he has never exercised any form of power. He is one of few survivors following a bitter conflict between two fire gods in the early universe, a battle during which he was forced to kill his one time friend and mentor to prevent him from escaping to wreak havoc across the stars. He views the conflict as arising from too sharp a dichotomy between good and evil, and so takes a vow of neutrality in his actions going forward. He values temperance, compromise, and harmless indulgences. He despises damage to the innocent, close-mindedness, and irrational action.

I'll continue playing as Meph.
My friends,
they call me Meph.
And I wield the powers of
The ethernal Wind,
that stirs the hearts of men.
(Sorry air just didn't sound right)
Bio: As the mist clears, Meph steps from behind the sun, dressed as a
wandering Scholar from a long gone time on a planet far, far away
A God asks: How are you named?
Meph: A slight question
For one who so disdains the Word,
Is so distant from appearance: one
Whom only the vital depths have stirred.
But my friends, they call me Meph.
An oldfashioned God: Why arst thou?
Meph: I am the spirit, ever, that denies!
And rightly so: since everything created,
In turn deserves to be annihilated:
Better if nothing came to be.
So all that you call Sin, you see,
Destruction, in short, what you’ve meant
By Evil is my true element
Oldfashioned God: Good and Evil are defined by us!
Meph: And frankly it’s a sorry tale.
What’s set against the Nothingness,
The Something, World’s clumsiness,
Despite everything I’ve tried,
Won’t become a nothing: though I’d
Storms, quakes, and fires on every hand,
It deigned to stay as sea and land!
And those Men and creatures, all the damned,
It’s no use my owning any of that crew:
How many I’ve already done with too!
Yet new fresh blood is always going round.
So it goes on, men make me furious!
With water, earth and air, of course,
A thousand buds unfurl
In wet and dry, warm and cold!
And if I hadn’t kept back fire of old,
I’d have nothing left at all.
So thus, in my wrath ,
i have decided to parttake,
to be the silent wisper in the night,
the aluring sight,
Part of the Power that would
Always wish Evil, but always works the Good.
*when asked about what my name signified by aquos and if I'm good or evil, I responded:*
What are names,
but games for us?
I was given my name,
by a man whom I once served,
who now serves me,
and is my servant for this eternity.
For now I shall stay my hand,
to see how this plays out.
And maybee in time,
a new name shall find itself.
And am I good or am I bad?
What mortal kind calls evil is but a name,
for all the darkness,
that came before,
and will come again,
on the doomsday of this,
our,
universe.
So am I good?
Or am I foul?
Deeds will tell, and actions speak;
For now I revel in bringing life onto this barren rock,
and once life walks,
and wonders,
once it is truly sentient,
then I will gamble,
revel in Stories played on mortal souls like songs on an eternal harp .

The Eternal One wakes from it's dormant slumber annoyed and gazes at the other gods around it with a flat stare before turning away uninterested.

"Ahh. The Life has endured. Even after all these years, those pecualiar little things still suprise me. *chuckles* Beautifully, isn't it? But I see that there are New Ones here. What is your name? What does it mean?" Nal'onor looks at everyone with his eternal eyes. He seems rather content.
Zagra flies in the scene, with his usual fanfare. "A NEW WORLD?" ,he shouts, "You guys didn't think to invite ME? The Great Serpent of Time? The Feathered Terror of Azambuul? The One Who Flies The Winds Of Time? My fellow gods, I am offended!"
