Title: The Shaping of the Formless Void
Post by: Wayward Device on December 19, 2012, 11:03:42 pm
There is nothing. Utter nothing. Nothing that makes the cold vastness of empty interstellar space seem like a balls out carnival of ridiculous amounts of stuff. Apart from this utter nothingness there are... well, truth be told, there are some things. Could be two things, could be one thing and an uncountable number of things. Hard to say. There's definitely some sort of...thing. If concepts like geometry or dead reckoning existed you might be able to say that there was an infinitely small sphere filled with 1,000,000 units of raw power, or 1,000,000☼, or, for those who like their numbers a little shorter and sweeter, 1000K☼. The Kilo☼ would likely be the standard measurement of raw power, if such a thing as measurements or standardization existed. As well as the raw power filled sphere there are an unknowable number of amorphous presences, possibly made out of nothing. You are one of those presences.

In the beginning there was light. This was a mere side-effect of a big explosion. Well, maybe not a literal explosion, but close enough for it to be called...

The BIG BANG.
Cause it.
Matter should precipitate shortly, followed by the first clouds of gas resembling proto-galaxies.

The BIG BANG.
Cause it.
Matter should precipitate shortly, followed by the first clouds of gas resembling proto-galaxies.


All is still in the void. All has been still since time before time. The sphere of raw power spins gently, nebulous presences float in the utter nothingness. This continues for an indefinite amount of time, as time does not exist yet. Suddenly, the peaceful calm is shattered in a flurry of activity! One of the presences rushes towards the sphere of raw power and attempts to destabilize it! The sphere of raw power [4] partially destabilizes! About [5] 50kilo☼ is detached from the sphere and transformed into Hydrogen! Substance Created: Hydrogen. Celestial Body Created: Cloud of Hydrogen. The huge cloud of gas begins to rush away from the sphere of raw power while seemingly being drawn towards it at the same time! The sphere of raw power now appears to contain 950 kilo☼. It also appears to be moving extremely rapidly. Good thing there's no such thing as distance or time yet.   

Form a red planet. Nevermind that it has nowhere to exist yet, it can exist in the voider-than-void for a time.

Another of the presences, seeing the actions of the first, seizes some of the raw power for itself, trying to shape it to some unknowable purpose. It tries to draw some raw power from the destabilized sphere [4+1(sphere partially unstable)] and manages to acquire 50 kilo☼. It then [5] attempts to shape it into a sphere made of Red. Unfortunately, what with the laws of the universe being somewhat in a state of flux, the attempt is largely unsuccessful. Struggle though it might, all that is created is an enormous Cube made of Blue. Substance Created:Blue. Celestial Body Created: Blue Cube. The sphere of raw power has been reduced to 900 kilo☼. The sphere [11] regains some of its past stability.

Create giant ass crystal; that will contains and regulate all psionic and life energies of the universe.

One of the presences, encouraged by the the actions of the others, seizes some raw power for itself and attempts to make something. About [11] 110 kilo☼ is seized form the sphere, [4] rendering it increasingly unstable! Sphere instability +2! The sphere of raw power has been reduced to 790 kilo☼. The presence is filled with raw power and begins to create [10], shaping the raw power in equal parts into a Giant Crystal, the Psionic force and the Life force! Celestial Body Created: Crystal of Life and Psion. Force Created: Psionic. Force Created:Life. As the raw power finishes taking on these new forms the presences tries to mold the Crystal of Life and Psion into regulating the forces of Life and Psion, [6] being partially successful. A portion of the two forces is drawn into a dynamic equilibrium with the crystal, but a large portion flies away in all directions, permeating all creation, such as it is. This presence has gained Sphere:Life Energy: +1 to actions involving life energy, Sphere:Psion Energy: +1 to actions involving Psion Energy.     

^BREAK GIANT ASS CRYSTAL.
CREATE PLANET OF MADNESS, WITH A SLADE THRONE TO FIT ME; THE MAD GOD OF THIS CHURNING VOID.

REBREAK THAT BITCH. STAB JAASS TO DEATH WITH TE SHARDS.
CREATE BODY FOR JAASS. CREATE VIOLENCE. KILL JAASS. INVENT CORN POPS AND MILK FOR PART OF A COMPLETE BREAKFAST.

One of the presences seems quite agitated, being torn between seizing and shaping raw power for itself and interfering with the Crystal Creating presence. It starts by trying to create something like the others, seizing [9+2=11] 110 kilo☼ and reducing the sphere of raw power to 680 kilo☼. The sphere of raw power is now extremely unstable (+3). It begins to create a sphere of material [7] following no repeatable pattern, marked by only one regular feature, a throne made of an utterly black, superdense substance. Substance Created: Madness. Substance Created: Slade. Celestial Body Created: Planet of Madness. This presence has gained Sphere:Madness: +1 to actions involving Madness(substance). Then it notices the the Crystal of Life and Psion. Driven by some as yet unknown and unknowable instinct it seeks to destroy this object and its creator. It first strikes at the crystal, [6] braking off a large shard containing 6 kilo☼. Artifact Created: Shard of Life and Psion. It seizes the shard and tries to stab at the Crystal Creating presence [autofail] but the attack passes right through! Clearly understanding the problem, the Madness presence seizes yet more raw power, [11+3=14] seizing 140 kilo☼, causing the sphere of raw power to explode and spread in all directions! Force Created: Diffuse Raw Power. Ignoring the total destruction of the last vestiges of the primordial universe, the presence [8] shapes some of the energy it seized into a new concept. Concept Created: Violence. However, about 20 kilo☼ of the 70 used gets away and dissipates into the universe. The presence then uses the remaining 70 kilo☼ to create a body for the Crystal Creating presence [7], making a form containing roughly twice as much raw power as the Crystal of Life and Psion. The Crystal Creating presence has Gained 70 kilo☼ Crystal Avatar. It then takes up the Shard of Life and Scion and strikes the newly embodied Crystal Creating presence [8] fracturing its core! The Shard of Life and Scion lodges firmly in the wound! This presence has gained Sphere:Violence: +1 to actions involving violence.

From a terrible distance, as if beyond the very limits of the utter nothingness, a voice is heard.
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT BOLDING ACTIONS?"
*A sphere of terrible force strikes the  presence of Madness and violence, carrying it away across the universe*
-12 to next action.     

Stop insanity for the moment.
Accelerate time. Galaxies sorta exist. Starts are being born. A red planet with a huge crystal inhabited by donkeys is created near one such star to satisfy the others.


 The Hydrogen creating presence seems deeply distrubed by the utter chaos of recent events and tries to bring some sort of linear order to the rapidly unfolding events. Since there is no longer a sphere of raw power to draw from, it tries to draw in some of the diffuse raw power and [7-3=4(diffuse force)] partially succeeds, drawing in 40 kilo☼ and shaping it [9] into a new force! Force Created: Time. This presence has gained Sphere:Time: +1 to actions involving time. Spurred by this success, it tries to create more things, again attempting to seize more  diffuse raw power and shape it into a gigantic collection of burning spheres, [10-3=7(diffuse force)] managing to create 70 Giant Burning Spheres, using 1 kilo☼ for each. Celestial Body Created: Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres. Together, they are almost the size of the Crystal Creating presence's wounded body. Finally, it tries to create a amalgamation of earlier works, [3-3=0] but cannot seem to draw in the needed raw power.

This is boring. Spiritslap him until he handcrafts anything he wants in existence.

The Blue Cube Creating presence seems disturbed by the Time presence's creation of a rational, linear flow of events. It attempts strike the Time  presence, trying to force it to stop it's work. The blow [3] rebounds, sending the Blue Cube Creating presence hurtling through the universe until it strikes the [5] already damaged avatar of the Crystal Creating presence [7] passing right through it. As it does so, it picks up an affinity for some of the energies it regulates. This presence has gained Sphere:Life Energy: +1 to actions involving life energy. However, this presence's reckless use of the new
Concept:Violence has rendered it vulnerable to such actions in the future. This presence has gained Effected by Sphere:Violence: -1 to resist actions involving violence.   

Resume total insanity, gain chaotic split personality, CHAO-no, orde-CHAOOOOOS!

The terrible powers from beyond the universe begin to gather again.
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT... Hmm, this thing already seems to be totally insane, suffering agonies beyond the ken of mortal minds. Still, I'M WATCHING YOU."

Create a celestial prison to threaten to throw others in.
Accelerate time more. There are now many stars. The donkeys died long ago of anyxphixiation.


The Time Creating presences attempts to create a celestial prison, [12-3(diffuse force)] drawing 90 kilo☼ and shaping it into [5] a somewhat easy to escape from maze of constantly shifting time. Celestial Object Created: Time Prison Maze: +1 to escape attempts. Material Created: Time. Seeking an obvious uses for it's creation, it threatens to trap the presence of Violence and Madness and the Blue Cube Creating presence within. However, in this raw state of the universe, even threats have a terrible compulsive power and the presence of Violence and Madness and the Blue Cube Creating presence are drawn towards the Time Prison Maze! The Blue Cube Creating presence [7+1=8] just manages to prevent itself from being drawn in [5-12=-7] but the presence of Violence and Madness, still reeling from the extra-universal blow, cannot do say the same. It is drawn in and traped within the Time Prison Maze!

I EAT THE OTHERS INSIDE THE PRISON, BREAK OUT WITH THEIR COMBINED POWERS, THEN THROW THEM BACK UP BECAUSE BLOBS OF ENERGY TASTE TERRIBLE. WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN CORN POPS AND MILK?!

Trapped within the Time Prison Maze, the presence of Violence and Madness attempts to devour the other occupants, but finds none. It briefly tries to devour itself, but since it has no form this meets with little success. Finally, it gathers what power it can and tries to escape [3+1=4] but the poorly designed Time Prison Maze holds it for now. It contents itself by raging against the non-existance of Substances and Objects which do not exist.

Build a giant unbreakable border around everyone else and the regon of space surrounding them, then create the first particle - a banana shaped like The Grinch.

A presence, encouraged by the actions of the others, seeks to create something of its own. It draws diffuse raw power [4-3=1] but only manages to capture 10 kilo☼. It shapes this into [8] an unbreakable border that defines the edge of the universe. Universal Structure Created: Unbreakable Universal Barrier. This presence has gained Sphere:Borders&Edges: +1 to actions involving lines that delineate any two things. Giddy with success, it goes on to try to create something else, [7-3=4(diffuse energy] seizing 40 kilo☼ and shaping it into [9] a yellowish particle in the form of a usually green extra-universal monster. It is slightly larger than the Crystal of Life and Psion. Celestial Object Created: Banana shaped like The Grinch. Material Created: Grinch Banana .   

CREATE A THRONEWORLD FOR EACH OF THE GODS. IT IS THEIRS TO DO WITH AS THEY PLEASE. MY THRONEWORLD SHALL ORBIT A PROTO-STAR IN THE NEW GALAXY. CREATE PRIMITIVE INTELIGENT LIFE. SMILE DEVIOUSLY.

Still trapped with the Time Prison Maze, the the presence of Violence and Madness dreams of creating throneworlds for all the  presences, but being trapped cannot seize the power to do so. Still, it's plan may yet come to fruition. +1 to first action creating throneworlds when free.

Something came through the Void. Something from the outside. It smiled at this world, so full of possibilty and hope. It watched the other gods war from a vast cloud of dust and debris that it had made and laughed.

For the third time, hideous power beyond anything known in this universe gathers and strikes the Something that came through the void, breaking it down until it's nothing more than one of the shadowy presences that seem to have existed since before time itself.

Create a vast hollow sphere in the void, the region inside to call mine

Another of the  presences , seeking to find some peace and stability in what is rapidly becoming a universe filled with chaos, madness and destruction, seizes some of the diffuse raw power remaining [5-3(diffuse force)] and maganages to manipulate 20 kilo☼, transforming it into a rather weak but enormous hollow sphere.Celestial Body Created: Enormous Hollow Sphere. This presence has gained Sphere: Enormous Hollow Sphere: +1 to actions involving the Enormous Hollow Sphere.

Make a ball of fire.

One of the presences yet to act tries to create a ball of fire [6-3=3(diffuse force)] and seizing 30 kilo☼ and transforming it. The [2] Ball of fire explodes and diffuses across the universe! Force Created: Heat.   

Point to the galaxies and stars and planets and crystal covered in donkey corpses.

The Time Creating presence [12] points at the various things that have been created, and its action is of such force that their position has been fixed in the universe! Force Created:Space. Now things can actually have a location, as opposed to just sort of generally existing. This presence has gained Sphere:Space: +1 to actions involving the locations of things.

Post by: Wayward Device on December 20, 2012, 04:00:19 pm
Hey everyone, just a few general points that may be good for you to know before we carry on.

Firstly, can everyone who has gained a Sphere or Spheres (as in "This presence has gained Sphere:Keeping Track of Stats: +1 to actions keeping an accurate record of personal statistics") please keep that info in a spoiler that gets copy/pastad with your action? I'll keep track of all the main stuff that gets made and any temporary numbers like bonuses and penalties, but it makes things way easier for me if I can just check a spoiler and be all "oh yeah, they have a +1 to that thing that they got a while ago that I would have totally forgotten about." I admit that I could just make my own spreadsheet or whathaveyou, but last time I had to do something like that I ended up ruining a perfectly good wardrobe with throwing knives and while I admit that in these Dark Economic Times the furniture industry can use as much stimulation as anybody, I flatly refuse to be the one who pays for it.

Second general point. We are currently in the Age of Creation. When the last ☼ of raw power is used/transformed into something else, we will be in... well, another Age. It'll depend on how things work out. My bet right now would be either an Age of Law, Chaos, or Megaconflict, but we'll have to see how things turn out. Could end up as the Age of Placid Green Squirrels. Or Blue.

Thirdly, and this is mostly for those presences that haven't gained a Sphere yet, which is a few, and those who haven't made a body/avatar/shiny metal container for themselves, which is all but jaass, who acquired a somewhat awesome 70 kilo☼ Crystal Avatar unwillingly to be the first victim of Violence in this universe. Right now, no matter how many Spheres you gain or how complete your mastery over them is, you are still a shapeless presence made out of inexplicably organized nothing. As has been proved, you may control raw power, bending it to your will, but once that's gone you will have to work with the forces, materials and miscellaneous stuff that has been created. When this happens Spheres will become a lot more important. I will flatly state that manipulating stuff with which you are not aligned will be way harder than the acts of creation that have occurred thus far. That said, you will always have a chance to effect something, after all it was made from the raw power you shaped so easily, and there's nothing to stop you from creating/altering things you are aligned with to help you. Currently 300 kilo☼ of Diffuse Raw Power remain to be manipulated. Hope that makes some kind of sense.

As an example of what I'm on about, Jbg97/ The Being of Madness and Chaos won't be able to seep madness through the pores of the Time Prison, because right now it's just a presence with +1 to the Spheres of Violence and Madness, the current front runner in the race for most Chaos aligned presence (not that Chaos exists yet as a concept, but I'd say Jbg97 is doing a pretty good job of making Violence and Madness fill in for it). If The Being of Madness and Chaos had created some sort of avatar out of the Madness that makes up The Planet of Madness or just created it out of raw power then the seeping out thing would totally be on the cards. Don't think you can rest easy though, oh fans of the as yet to be finalized concepts of Law and Order, as The Being of Madness and Chaos totally created a giant planet out of 99% Madness 1%Slade before the whole aggravated assault/forced embodiment/imprisoned fiasco. And even though it's locked away, manipulating that Giant Ball of Crazy is not only possible, but currently comes with a +1 bonus, so legions of sentient life made out of Madness are on the way, baring an inexplicable run of 2's.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Can i turn the Time Prison into my body?

Probably :). All I'll say is this: It's made of Time, which isn't particularly susceptible to either Violence or Madness. Its mostly designed to stop things getting out, not stop them getting in. Basically, just going for "I make the Time Prison my body" might not work out to well, but using it to form some part of a body may be possible.

Actually, GM, I'll make you a spreadsheet if you'd like.

That would be great! Basically, I'm happy as long as everything somewhat organized so this doesn't fall apart like a poorly made sun.

*Cracks Knuckles*

It seems that the actions of the first few presences to seize power after the initial destabilization of sphere of raw power by the entity known as The Being of Time and Space have set a series of forces in motion that will likely shape the nature of the Universe for Aeons to come. That means a turn's incoming.

Turn 2: The Age of Creation Continues


Cut violence in half and infuse half of it (half its power) into the Grinch Banana, granting it reality warping abilities.
Cut madness in half and use half of its power to reinforce the universal barrier.
Form of an infinite spiral of lines; creases in the fabric of reality.


The presence of Borders&Edges reaches out, trying to cut the concept Violence in half with it's will. It [11-2=9(Spheres not that opposed)] succeeds in severing a 15 kilo☼ chunk. The concept Violence has been weakened! -1 to all violent actions. Artifact created: Chunk of Violence!. The presence of Borders&Edges has been tainted by Violence! This presence gains the Sphere:Violence. The presence then draws half of the power from the Chunk of Violence and infuses it in the Grinch Banana, [8(not opposed to Violence)] filling it with 7.5 kilo☼ of Violence. The material Grinch Banana has gained the Sphere:Violence. Cosmic Entity Created: Grinch Banana the Incarnation of Violence!

Having infused the Grinch Banana the Incarnation of Violence The presence of Borders&Edges tries to repeat its success with the Planet of Madness. It strikes [9-5=4(-1 from the weakening of Violence, -4 Sphere's highly opposed)] but the blow rebounds, hitting the Unbreakable Universal Barrier! Luckily it is unbreakable and is [9+1=10(Sphere:Borders&Edges)] utterly unharmed. 

Lastly, the presence of Borders&Edges attempts to form of an infinite spiral of lines, creasing the very fabric of Space and Time [5-2(spheres not that opposed)=3] but fails. Part of the structure of Space and Time is damaged! Celestial Object Created: Rift.

((Note: You have gained the Sphere:Violence, but no +1. This is because you have merely been tainted by it, making you a creature of that Sphere.))

30☼ of heat we need more Make more heat by making a more stable sphere of fire.

The presence which accidentally created Heat seeks to repeat its actions in a more intentional manner. It draws [12-3=9] 90 kilo☼ of raw power, transforming it into a [11] Extremely Stable Sphere of Fire. Celestial Body Created: Extremely Stable Sphere of Fire. This presence has gained Sphere:Fire: +1 to actions involving Fire. The total amount of Diffuse Raw Power Remaining is 210 kilo☼. The Diffuse Raw Power Remaining has become even more defuse! -4 to attempts to draw raw power.

Strengthen my sphere
Create water inside sphere
Draw power into sphere


The presence that created the Enormous Hollow Sphere seeks to reinforce its somewhat flimsy structure, drawing [8-4=4] 40 kilo☼ and [10+1=11] reinforcing the outer shell! +1 to Enormous Hollow Sphere defense rolls. The presence then draws more power [7-4=3] transforming 30 kilo☼ it into water, filling the Enormous Hollow Sphere. Substance Created:Water. Due to the low amount of Heat in the universe, the water instantly freezes and expands. The Enormous Hollow Sphere [9+1(defense bonus)=10] is more than able to cope with the pressure.

Finally, the presence draws yet more power into the sphere itself [2-4=-2] but the flow of energies reverses and 20 kilo☼ flows away!. The  Enormous Hollow Sphere is rocked by quakes [6+1], only coming through unscathed thanks to the earlier improvements. There is now 170 kilo☼ remaining. 

>Form a stable triple-star solar system in a pocket universe.

A presence that has yet to act, but that has been keenly watching the unfolding events, decides, much like the creator of the Enormous Hollow Sphere, that the time for a personal space has come. It draws [7(*)] exactly enough power to create three Burning Spheres, similar to those that the presences of Time&Space and Heat seem so fond of and a little sealed pocket of space to envelop them, 10 kilo☼. The final composition of pocket universe is [12] a symphony of symmetry and order. Dimension Created: Pocket Universe. +1 to orderly actions this turn! 

((* no penalty because this won't cost more than 10 kilo☼, not that it would have made a difference))

Where there is violence, must end in peace. Calm the storm and introduce peace into the world, to stop everyone from murdering each other, and form the presence of order, law and peace.
>assist in task

Aided by the presence of the Pocket Universe, another presence yet to act seeks to act, drawing [8+2-4(deffuse-4, +1 orderly actions this turn, +1 help)=6] 60 kilo☼ and shaping it into the concepts of Order, Law and Peace. Concept Created:Order Concept Created: Law Concept Created: Peace. Once again aided by the presence of the Pocket Universe the presence tries to bring itself into closer harmony with Order, Law and Peace, [8+2=10] becoming somewhat intermingled with them! This presence has gained Sphere:Order: +2 to Orderly actions, Sphere:Law: +1 to Lawful actions and Sphere:Peace: +1 to Peaceful actions, -1 to violent actions. The presence of the Pocket Universe   
has gained  Sphere:Order: +1 to Orderly actions. 100 kilo☼ remain.

INSIDE THE TIME PRISON, THE CONTAINED MADNESS SWIRLS AND CRASHED AGAINST ITS CAGE. SEEP MADNESS THROUGHOUT EVERY CRACK IN THE PRISON TO THE OUTSIDE. SHAPE THE OUTER MADNESS INTO INTELLIGENT LIFE AND PLACE HALF ON THE PLANET OF MADNESS AND HALF ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIME PRISON. I SHALL BE THEIR GOD, WHISPERING TO THEM IN THE NIGHT "RELEASE ME MY CHILDREN. RELEASE ME SO THAT WE MAY CRUSH ALL WHO IMPOSE 'ORDER' IN THIS BEAUTIFUL, CHAOTIC REALM."

In the Temporal Prison the Being of Madness raged against that which bound it. It tried to seep Madness through every crack in the prison, [autofail] but realized that it had none with it when it was trapped. Instead, it reaches out past Time and Space to the Planet of Madness, shaping it into intelligent life. [10+1(sphere)=11] With the exception of the Slade Throne the Planet of Madness is completely transformed into 109.9 kilo☼ of [8+1=9] Horrifying Madness Creatures. Race Created: Horrifying Madness Creatures The Being of Madness hurls half of these at the Temporal Prison [8+1-1(sphere vs difficulty)=8] and about 30 kilo☼ of the 55 kilo☼ or so of the hurled  Horrifying Madness Creatures reaches their destination, with the 15 or so kilo☼ of creatures being scattered across the universe. The remaining 55 kilo☼ the Being of Madness (11+1=12) forms into a sphere much like the old Planet of Madness, but made out of Horrifying Madness Creatures. The Horrifying Madness Creatures that made it to the Temporal Prison are clinging to its outer features, but [7] 7 kilo☼ of them are sucked inside. The Being of Madness whispers to the Horrifying Madness Creatures still on the outside "RELEASE ME MY CHILDREN. RELEASE ME SO THAT WE MAY CRUSH ALL WHO IMPOSE 'ORDER' IN THIS BEAUTIFUL, CHAOTIC REALM.". The [11] creatures go bezerk, recklessly   
tearing into the structure of the Temporal Prison. Another [7] 7 kilo☼ of them fall in, but the prison has been weakened. +2 To escape attempts from the Temporal Prison. The Being of Madness has gained Sphere:Madness: +2 to actions involving Madness(substance). The race  Horrifying Madness Creatures gains Sphere:Violence: +1 to Violent actions.
 
...The madness has grown too strong. These beings must be stopped for their own good.
Reinforce Celestial Prison containing the Being of Madness, attempting to stop it's escape and the madness it tries to exert.
Propose alliance with the being of time and space (GWG) to protect the universe.

Yet another presence, aghast at the actions of the Being of Madness, comes forward and tries to reinforce the Temporal Prison. Drawing [6-4=2] 20 kilo☼ of Diffuse Raw Power and [9] managing to seal up the breaches caused by the Horrifying Madness Creatures. Escape attempts are once again only +1. This presence has gained Sphere:Time. 80 kilo☼ of Diffuse Raw Power remains. Attempts to draw it are now -5.
   
((You are now a creature aligned with Time. Not enough yet to get a bonus, but you will incur no penalties for trying to directly manipulate Time

YOUR EFFORTS SHALL BE FOR NAUGHT. I AM CHAOS, MADNESS INCARNATE. I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF CHANGE, WITHOUT ME YOUR WORLD WOULD STAGNATE AND RUST. EVERY CHANGE YOU MAKE, EVERY CONFLICTING THOUGHT YOU HAVE FEEDS ME. DO NOT RESIST ME, EMBRACE ME.
I AM THE BEING OF LAW AND ORDER. CEASE AND DESIST.

Across the nameless gulfs, the Being of Madness senses that an true oppositional force has come into existence. It hungers for the conflict to come. 

Fine.
Then I shall withdraw my actions and become the Avatar of Justice and Lightning, and create a sphere of light and electricity.


((I could be a dick and have you try to undo the making of Order, Law and Peace, but I'll just be reasonable for once :). Especially seeing as you have basically become the closest thing this universe has to an Avatar of Order this turn, even if you are still disembodied.))

Form of Deku Scrub, with a random floating enormous hollow sphere trailing behind me
Also create imaginably huge hollow orb, which ends at the borders of the universe


The presence that made theEnormous Hollow Sphere seeks to form a body for itself, drawing [6-5=1] 10 kilo☼ to make the shape of a Deku Scrub trialing an enormous floating hollow sphere. Avatar created:Deku Scrub trialing an Enormous Floating Hollow Sphere. This presence has gained Sphere: Enormous Hollow Spheres: +2 to actions involving the Enormous Hollow Spheres. 70 kilo☼ pf raw power remains. Finally, the Hollow Sphere presence
tries to draw yet more power to create an  imaginably huge hollow orb, which ends at the borders of the universe [5-5=0] but the remaining raw power is simply to diffuse.

Absorb the the crystal from the wound into the crystal avatar, then reinforce and repair the Crystal of Life and Psion have continue to regulate the two spheres. Then have the crystal avatar spread life throughout the universe.

The God of Life attempts to absorb the crystal from the wound into its avatar, [8] partially, but not entirely drawing it in. Somewhat healed, it attempts to repair the damage done to the Crystal of Life and Psion [10+2(spheres)=12] going so far as to improve the amount of energy that it regulates! Now it regulates approximately two thirds of all Life and Psion energy.

Happy with this success the God of Life sends the Crystal Avatar to spread life through the universe. Happily spraying life energy in all directions, the  God of Life [8+1=9] notices that some of it even survived in the warm spaces between the burning spheres of the Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres. Race Created: Cluster Dwellers. However, with the ☼ needed for the repairs to the Crystal of Life and Psion and the spreading of Life, the Crystal Avatar is reduced to [7] 63 kilo☼.     


Use observations of the Time Prison to learn more about the sphere of Time.

The presence that repaired the Temporal Prison reflects on what it has done [4] but gains no new cosmic insights.



((Ok, so I'll add the updated spoilers with all the new stuff some time tomorrow, 'cos it's now extremely late at night for me :). Sorry to everyone who's actions didn't get included this turn, just to many! You can either go top of the action order next turn with the ones you posted, or post new ones to react to developments. Or both, as there is currently no limit to the number of actions you can take each turn. That will change once the Age of Creation is over, which will likely be after next turn as there is only some 70 kilo☼ remaining. Will probably be end up being something like 2 actions and as much politics as you like each turn. Also, next turn will see the first independent actions of the two races and one cosmic entity that have been created.))

Heh, so once again there's about three pages of actions since I posted and went to bed. So here's how we're going to do this. In a little bit I'll post all the updated spoilers. There's a ton of stuff to add to that, including stuff like material that have been created but not recorded (like the Sphere Energy that the Enormous Hollow Sphere is obviously made of). I'll also add some appropriate information, like Sphere tags for some of the obviously aligned materials and so on. I may add in the first actions of the two races + cosmic entity as well, to save a little clutter in the main turn.

Once that's out the well get down to the real action. What with the bazillion actions I'm going to split things up. First we'll get creative actions out the way, since this is likely to be the last turn out of the Age of Creation (only about 70 kilo☼ of raw power remains). So once all that making avatars, trying to seize the last bits of raw power and so on is done we'll get to Xantalos' action, which I feel is pretty appropriate for the end of the Age of Creation, as it will likely shape the nature of the Universe for better or worse in the New Unnamed Age soon to begin. Also, there are a fair few actions which are contingent on how Xantalos' actions work out, which people may want to change. Can't establish an Order embassy in the Chaos realm if there is no chaos realm and so on. This seems the most reasonable way forward to me.

(OP, are you okay with godly actions being in bold and diplomacy/conversation in italics?)
   

Yep, that's fine and seems to have already been implemented :). The main thing is bolding actions, so I'm happy as long as any diplomacy/conversation is easily distinguishable from actions.

Fuse all energy back into the primordial orb.
Help with task,  but make the new fused orb hollow and enormous
That diffused power debuff is getting pretty annoying

Do you mean all of the remaining Diffuse Raw Power, of which there is about 70 kilo☼ left, or all energy everywhere in the universe? If you do go with the second option, its quiet unlikely that you will succeed completely, but possible (but again, unlikely) that you could do massive damage to the universe. I'm happy either way, but I need to get a feeling for what your going for.

As to the debuff, the last scrap of freely available  Diffuse Raw Power will almost certainly be gone by the end of next turn, at which point new things will have to be made from the materials and forces that have already been created. Also we'll be in a new age. Yay!

SEEING BEINGS OF 'ORDER' GROW RAMPANTLY ABUNDANT, THE BEING OF MADNESS CREATES THE CONCEPT OF CHAOS AND EMBODIES IT. THEN INFUSES THIS CONCEPT INTO THE TIME PRISON, DESTROYING A PORTION OF THE MADNESS CREATURES TO USE THEIR ENERGY FOR THIS ACT. WITH CHAOS TAINTING THE TIME PRISON, THE STRUCTURE OF IT IS DISTORTED. USING THIS TO ITS ADVANTAGE, THE BEING OF CHAOTIC MADNESS AND VIOLENCE SHAPES THE !!DISTORTED!!TIME PRISON INTO A PHYSICAL BODY TO CONTAIN ITS CHAOTIC ESSENCE AND ALLOW IT TO BE FREE TO INTERACT WITH THE OUTSIDE UNIVERSE.
ONCE FREE, CREATE A MADNESS GALAXY. CORRUPTTED STARS THAT ARE NOT BOUND BY TIME, PLANETS WITH IMPOSSIBLE ORBITS, MOONS THAT REGULARLY CRASH BACK INTO ITS PLANET AND REFORM.

*Grinch Banana the Incarnation of Violence*

The Grinch Banana the Incarnation of Violence awakens for the first time [4] and beholds the universe around it. It is confused, although though knowing no other experience it is not capable of understanding why. Floating at an arbitrary point along the Unbreakable Universal Barrier, it searched around for something to do Violence to, but finds nothing. For some reason, perhaps because of its shared creator, it does not consider the Unbreakable Universal Barrier a suitable candidate for b]Violence [/b]. Frustrated, it [6] let's of a mighty roar, but nothing comes out, as it is at there dar edge of the Universe, where there are no random particle to vibrate.

*Horrifying Madness Creatures*

The Horrifying Madness Creatures are [9] busy even as their maker hurls them about the cosmos. Those formed into the new Planet of Madness [7] set about changing into all manner of different forms, no to alike. The differences are mostly superficial visual ones though and no real progress is made, perhaps because they are all jammed into a giant ball. Those clinging to the outside of the Temporal Prison [12] start to secure their position by using the weaker members as building material! 6 kilo☼ of the Horrifying Madness Creatures trapped on the outside of the Temporal Prison have been transformed into Horrifying Madness Cities. The cites are a bit crowded though, having to contain 10 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures. Those inside the prison [7] swirl happily in never repeated patterns, gladdened by the presence of their make. Finally, the 15 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures dispersed throughout the universe [6] flitter with with no sense of purpose.

*Cluster Dwellers*

The Cluster Dwellers [2] begin do die in alarming numbers in the warm spaces between the spheres of the Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres. They lose [7] half their number, being reduced to 1.75 kilo☼. As a result [11] they rapidly adapt to the harsh condition! They [9] learn to absorb Heat, as this is the only resource near them and soon devour [7] seven of the Giant Burning Spheres. The Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres has been reduced to 63! The Cluster Dwellers have increased in number to 7.75 Kilo☼. The Cluster Dwellers have gained Sphere:Fire

((Right, that took way longer than I thought. Rather than try to rush through another turn today, I'll do the next full turn tomorrow. Its starting to get late for me and then end of the Age of Creation is SERIOUS BUSINESS. On the upside, the Universe is now a little better defined and numbered, and I've also had a bit of time to think through some of the possible consequences of actions for next turn. Heh, there's a lot of stuff that has the potential to go really, really wrong.

Should I repost my actions?

You can if you like and it would be helpful. Basically, as I said in my last post, I'm going to order the turn like:

All creative actions (avatars, drawing power, shaping existing things, you know, all that making stuff stuff)
Xantalos' action (divide the universe etc)
The actions that are reacting to that.

So if people want to make clear where their actions go in that ordering that'll be helpful. You've also got a bit of time to change things if you want. Basically, I'm happy as long as I can figure out what everyone wants to do and anything that makes it easier for me to do that is great.))

Again, make a planet in the star cluster and populate it with simple dragons. Unless that's what the Cluster Dwellers are.

Create massive dragon with two heads to be my avatar. Drain energy from Violence to do so.
Assert my creation of the dragons. If successful, choose notable dragons and empower them with power, taken from the Grinch Banana (say, a kilo or two?) to make them Blessed Drakes, a sorta-new race.
Make a large tetrahedron to act as a base of action for me, and as a meeting place for the creatures. Also to claim a Platonic solid before they're all gone. Add a nice, heated layer to assert some control over Heat.
Also reinforce Space and Time from the Planet of Madness.
Accept Inithis's alliance.
Finally, offer the Cluster Dwellers, say, 4 kilo of energy if they agree to serve me and not destroy more stars or attack my creations.

The thing from beyond the void smiled even as the Thing struck it. Now there were races to empower and taint. It flew between the worlds instilling fear in to even other presences. It went to the largest city and released upon them a plauge of things, terrible things that it has brought with it from beyond the void. From these things grew the fears of each race. doomed to trouble them for all time.

Scare other gods and shit. Go to the largest city of each race and release a pack of monsters that will form their fears.

Well, I'm working on the next turn now. It'll probably take me a few hours, based on the last two and the mini turn/spoiler update. It's currently early evening for me, so I'm not likely to run out of time or anything.

I think the people playing may have forgot that this is a turn-based game, not a semi-freeform game.

This, a little bit. Looking back through the pages (I have pages 5-11 (standard post count) open in tabs) most of it is the backlog of creative actions that didn't get processed in turn 2 (because there was just to much going on), some of which people have revised, updated and reposed (which is a good thing). There's also a fair few "I do this!", "I oppose them doing this!" type actions. At the end of the day, the only real problem is that this thread is pretty popular, with a lot of very active players.... hmm, that sounds like a good thing when I say it out loud. But yes, this is turn based, despite how free I've been with allowing multiple actions during the age of creation. 

Go to the largest city of each race and release a pack of monsters that will form their fears.
The joke's on you, most don't have cities yet!
Do any? I only noticed the ravenous chaos-spawn and cluster creatures, and I don't even know what cluster creatures are.
I think they're those draconic races I created.

No draconic races have yet been created, but that action will be attempted this turn. The Cluster Dwellers are the product of the Life Energy sprayed out across the universe in turn 2 by the crystal avatar, some of which settled in the warm gaps between the Giant Burning Spheres of the Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres. In the last (mini) turn they almost died out, but evolved to devour Heat, consuming 7 of the Giant Burning Spheres. Only the Horrifying Madness Creatures on the outside of the Temporal Prison have cities, formed from the bodies of their weaker members. Anyway, working on the turn now.

Become the rift in space and time, and use it as my physical form.
Attack the madness creatures by absorbing them into the rift, and freeing their energy for my use.

The presence that repaired Temporal Prison notices the Rift. It seems to hold an inexplicable allure for the presence, to the point where it 
attempts to become it! It [10-2(becoming a rift in space and time penalty)-8] crosses the vast gulf instantly, no, it doesn't even move. It is the Rift. This presence has gained Terrible Hunger For ☼: +3 to actions related to consuming ☼ or things made from ☼, -3 to all other actions
This presence has gained Riftborn: Is one with the Rift, what effects one effects both

The Riftborn presence reaches out, fueled by its newfound hunger and attempts to devour some Horrifying Madness Creatures, [2+3=5] pulling in 5 kilo☼ of those dispersed throughout the universe. The Horrifying Madness Creatures are drawn into the Rift and instantly compressed into an infinitely small sphere. The Rift now contains 5 kilo☼. These few morsels have, if anything only increased the Riftborn's hunger. -4 to all non-consuming actions.   

Make sentient sphere creatures that are made of spheres, heat and water
Attempt to divert some energy from madness planet to add a slightly heated core to my sphere.
Create random Flora/fauna inside water sphere(using diverted power?)


The maker of the Enormous Hollow Sphere manipulates the primal forces of the universe in an attempt to make a race of sentient sphere creatures. It draws [5+2(Sphere:Spheres +2)=7] 7 kilo☼ of Sphere Energy from the Enormous Hollow Sphere. The Enormous Hollow Sphere [11+1(defense bonus)=12] is not weakened by this removal of energy. It seems that the energy removed represented some of the remaining structural weaknesses. The Enormous Hollow Sphere now has +2 to defense rolls! The presence then draws [6-2(spheres not that opposed)=4] 4 kilo☼ of Heat from [4] the Extremely Stable Sphere of Fire, reducing it to 86 kilo☼. It [8] remains stable, for now. Finally, it draws [8(no bonus/penalty, you made it even if it isn't particularly aligned)] 8 kilo☼ of water from the Enormous Hollow Sphere, reducing the amount of water inside to 22 kilo☼. It forges these together into a [7+2-2(+2 for making a sphere race, -2 for mixed substances/difficulty)=7] sentient race of sphere creatures! Race Created: Sentient Sphere Creatures!. The newly created creatures [5] try to flee the Enormous Hollow Sphere in all directions [6] but can't because they're inside it.

The presence then seeks to create a slightly heated core for the Enormous Hollow Sphere, attempting to draw away part of the Planet of Madness for the process. After all, its not like the Being of Madness will miss it, or hold an irrational grudge. It [4-3(spheres relatively opposed=1)   
pulls away 2 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures. The Planet of Madness is reduced to 53 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures. It [9-3=6] tries to transform them into Heat, but is only partially successful. The 2 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures in the core of the Enormous Hollow Sphere have gained Sphere:Heat. The innermost 5% of the remaining frozen water has begun to melt.

Finally, it tries to transform some of the Horrifying Madness Creatures into random flora and Fauna inside the small area of melted water. [11+1(action is intune with Sphere:Madness)=12] The 2 kilo☼ of Sphere:Heat Horrifying Madness Creatures are transformed into 1 kilo☼ of Non-Repeating Chain Fractal Madness Fire Spheres and 1 kilo☼ of Asymmetrical Half Sphere Fire Madness Half Spheres. Race Created: Non-Repeating Chain Fractal Madness Fire Spheres, Race Created: Asymmetrical Half Sphere Fire Madness Half Spheres.

A presence watched, its mind... fluid, changing with the situation when it needed to but yet coherent, not changing randomly. It reached out, finding that there was not enough of something it liked very much in this universe. It took all of the energy it could, and turned it into a liquid form of energy-infused matter.

One of the last presences to act reaches out to the last portions of Diffuse Raw Power, drawing [8-5=3] 30 kilo☼ and transforming it into a liquid form of energy-infused matter. Substance created: Power Infused Liquid. This presence has gained Sphere: Liquids: +1 to actions involving liquids. 40 kilo☼ remains.

SEEING BEINGS OF 'ORDER' GROW RAMPANTLY ABUNDANT, THE BEING OF MADNESS CREATES THE CONCEPT OF CHAOS AND EMBODIES IT. THEN INFUSES THIS CONCEPT INTO THE TIME PRISON, DESTROYING A PORTION OF THE MADNESS CREATURES TO USE THEIR ENERGY FOR THIS ACT. WITH CHAOS TAINTING THE TIME PRISON, THE STRUCTURE OF IT IS DISTORTED. USING THIS TO ITS ADVANTAGE, THE BEING OF CHAOTIC MADNESS AND VIOLENCE SHAPES THE !!DISTORTED!!TIME PRISON INTO A PHYSICAL BODY TO CONTAIN ITS CHAOTIC ESSENCE AND ALLOW IT TO BE FREE TO INTERACT WITH THE OUTSIDE UNIVERSE.
ONCE FREE, CREATE A MADNESS GALAXY. CORRUPTTED STARS THAT ARE NOT BOUND BY TIME, PLANETS WITH IMPOSSIBLE ORBITS, MOONS THAT REGULARLY CRASH BACK INTO ITS PLANET AND REFORM.


Seeing the beings of Order grow rampantly abundant attempts to create the concept of Chaos and embody it. It draws [11-5=6] all of the remaining 40 kilo☼ in the universe and shapes it into the concept of Chaos! Concept Created: Chaos. This presence has gained Sphere:Chaos: +2 to chaotic actions, -2 to orderly actions. It then hurls the concept of Chaos at the Temporal Prison. The [5+2=7] concept of Chaos is trapped half in the prison and half in the universe. With this accomplished the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence attempts to distort the Temporal Prison into a monstrous avatar! It [10+1+2+1-4(using up some madness creatures, Sphere:Chaos, concept:Chaos partially penetrated, spheres opposed)=10] succeeds, creating a terrible body for itself out of the Temporal Prison, the Horrifying Madness Creatures on the inside and outside, their cities and the concept of Chaos. Avatar Created: Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos. In form, it is truly terrible to behold. The Temporal Prison forms a sort of insane, dimensional maze shaped shell with the 14 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures acting as a pseudo-nerve network from the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence in the center of the Temporal Prison (which is still technically trapped there) to the outside, where the 10 kilo☼ of Horrifying Madness Creatures and the 6 kilo☼ of their cities swirl constantly into shapes that have stained my soul with cosmic sins by merely imagining them.

The Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence, embodied in its new form, tries to create a galaxy of Madness, but no free ☼ remains. It tries to draw in power at random [6-6(drawing power at random)=0] but fails.

Again, make a planet in the star cluster and populate it with simple dragons. Unless that's what the Cluster Dwellers are.
Create massive dragon with two heads to be my avatar. Drain energy from Violence to do so.
Assert my creation of the dragons. If successful, choose notable dragons and empower them with power, taken from the Grinch Banana (say, a kilo or two?) to make them Blessed Drakes, a sorta-new race.
Make a large tetrahedron to act as a base of action for me, and as a meeting place for the creatures. Also to claim a Platonic solid before they're all gone. Add a nice, heated layer to assert some control over Heat.
Also reinforce Space and Time from the Planet of Madness.
Accept Inithis's alliance.
Finally, offer the Cluster Dwellers, say, 4 kilo of energy if they agree to serve me and not destroy more stars or attack my creations.


The Being of Time&Space attempts to create a planet in the Cluster of Burning Spheres. Seeing that the free ☼ is gone, it transforms [12] 12 kilo☼ of Giant Burning Spheres into simple dragons and a planet within the Cluster of Burning Spheres for them to live on. The Cluster of Burning Spheres has been reduced to 51 1 kilo☼ Giant Burning Spheres. Celestial Body Created:Planet of the Dragons, Race Created: Simple Dragons.

The Being of Time&Space then seeks to create an avatar for itself in the form of a massive dragon with two heads, attempting to draw energy from violence to do so. It [6-4(sphere's quite opposed)=2] rips 5 kilo☼ away form the concept of Violence, [6] weakening it further. -2 to all Violent actions. Avatar Created: The Violence of Time & Space the Two Headed Dragon: +2 to violent actions. This presence has gained Effected by Sphere:Violence: -1 to resist actions involving violence.

It then attempts to asset its creation of the dragons [2], going among them and declaring that it was the entity that made them. Unfortunately, the dragons do not believe that the Being of Time&Space is their creator, asserting that such an entity would disdain their attention, being obviously infinitely superior to them. This visitation spurs much religious debate in the dragon proto-civilization. After [5] relatively few maimings and murders, they decide that the Planet of the Dragons must have been their maker, as it is utterly impassive to attempts to communicate. They also decide that since the Planet of the Dragons is the Great Egg from which they were spawned is round and the eggs of dragons are not that this must indicate that they are creatures cast in an imperfect form for some transgression. Dragon Racial Concept Created: Worship of the Great Egg, Dragon Racial Concept Created: Racial Gilt(dragons).

Appalled by this dismal failure, the Being of Time&Space [11] takes 11 of the 51 remaining Giant Burning Spheres and transforms them into a tetrahedron. Celestial Body Created: Tetrahedron. Seeing the reduction of the the Cluster of Burning Spheres by both its acts of creation and the strange new creatures living there, it attempts to offer them an arrangement [6] but the creatures do not seem to understand any of the concepts involved.       

Lastly, it attempts to strengthen the structure of Time and Space from the planet of madness. It [4+1-1(sphere, location)=4] fails and the structure remains unchanged.

((Sorry to not get all the actions in there, but as with a few other people, there were just to many. Hope I picked reasonable courses of action viz the lack of free energy/how to prioritize actions.))

>Create avatar in the form of an ethereal dragon. (you missed this last turn)
>Infuse pocket universe with the concepts of knowledge, advancement, and learning.
>Create more systems in the pocket universe.
>Construct a grand palace within the first system that won't be devoured by the suns. (floating in space, not on a planet)
>Populate planets within the pocket universe with highly-intelligent, knowledge-seeking, reasoning life

Spoiler: bonuses (click to show/hide)

The maker of the Pocket Universe tries to form an avatar in the form of an ethereal dragon, but all of the free ☼ is gone. [12+1=13] Undeterred, it creates an avatar out of nothingness! Avatar Created: Ethereal Dragon. It then goes on to create the concepts of Knowledge, Advancement and Learning, but lack the power to infuse them. Powerless Concept Created: Knowledge, Advancement and Learning. Lacking the ☼ to create more, it dreams of making more systems [9+1=10], a grand palace [6+1=7] and [11+1=12] highly intelligent, knowledge-seeking, reasoning life. +1 to next attempt to make more systems, +2 to next attempt to make highly intelligent, knowledge-seeking, reasoning life.     

Create fruit trees on the cube of Blue. Have them spawn sentient little fruitlings.
Continue with previous action. If successful, form a mobile fruitling tree avatar from some of their substance.
If unsuccessful, create a mobile fruitling tree-looking avatar from Blue instead.


The Maker of the Blue Cube attempts to create fruit trees that spawn sentient little fruitlings. It [8] draws 8 of the 50 kilo☼ of blue and creates a great forest across the Blue Cube. [10] Many of the trees start to spawn intelligent fruit. Race Created: Intelligent Fruitlings. It then shapes [8] half of them into a fruitling tree avatar! 4 kilo☼ Avatar created: Mobile Fruitling Tree.

"I must leave my mark on this world, lest I forget what I am in this eternal swirl of energy.
So....I declare myself.
I am Gaius. Maker of the Law, Order, and Peace, and Chaos shall not conquer while I stand here to ward it from all those who desire it!"

Manifest as Gaius, Maker of Law, Order and Peace, (An entity.) in the form of a golden lion with a horn.
Afterwards, forge the power of order and law into a sphere to create a planet to base myself on.

The Being of Law, Order, and Peace decides to manifest itself as Gaius, Maker of the Law, Order, and Peace. It takes the form of a Golden Lion with a Horn, drawing [2+2=4] 4 kilo☼ from Law, Order and Peace to manifest it. 12 kilo☼Avatar Created: Gaius Law, the Golden Order Lion Of Peace. Newly embodied, it forms [6+2=8] 8 kilo☼ of Law and Order into a 16 kilo☼ into a sphere to act as a base. Celestial Object Created: Planet of Order and Law.

Still trying to make my avatar of fire that shape like a phoenix.
Draw power from madness(we don't need 109 of the stuff) to create my bird avatar of fire.
^PREVENT THAT. THEN CORRUPT THE PRESENCE WHO TRIED TO WHERE THE MADNESS IN THEM DAMAGES ALL AVATARS MADE BY THEM.

The Being of Fire draws [8+1=9] the remaining 86 kilo☼ of Heat from the Extremely Stable Sphere of Fire to form an avatar. 86 kilo☼ Avatar Created: Phoenix the Rebirth of Fire. It then tries to draw more power from Madness [7-3(spheres relatively opposed)=4 vs 8+2(sphere)=fail] but is blocked by the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence. The Being of Fire [7] just manages to avoid being tainted, but feels slightly weakened. -1 to next Sphere tainting defense roll.

Attempt to bond myself with space and time.
Create a form for myself, the same as last time (an infinite spiral of creases in the universe)
Use my powers over Time, Space, and Borders to perfectly section the universe in two, and put all things but myself affiliated with the spheres of violence, madness, etc, on one side, and all those affiliated with Law, Order, Peace, etc, on the other side. Retroactively do so if necessary.
Cleanse myself of Violence.
Place the Grinch Banana at the border, with orders to annihilate all those attempting to cross or tamper with the border but for me.


The Being of Borders and Edges attempts to bond itself with Time and Space. It [2] fails utterly, instead becoming highly opposed to them! This presence has gained Opposed to Sphere:Time: -1 to action involving TimeOpposed to Sphere:Space: -1 to action involving Space. It then tries to create a form for itself [7-3(sphere's not that opposed, presence opposed to space)=4] but fails to do more than warp the fabric of Space and Time. The fabric of Space and Time [2+3=5] is damaged, [5] breaking into [5] five pieces! The Universe has been divided!

The Being of Borders and Edges attempts to [3] transfer all Order aligned creations to one of the Universe Shards and all the Chaos aligned to another, but finds it beyond its power. Instead [10+1(sphere)=11] uses it's power over Edges&Borders to twist the Unbreakable Universal Barrier into a new form. The barrier twists and writhes, encircling and dividing all Order and Chaos from their antithetical forces. Those creations as yet unaligned with either concept are left in strange, out of the way pockets of space and time. Universal Structure Created: Complex Five Dimensional Barrier. This presence has gained Sphere Destruction: +2 to actions that involve Destruction (the neutral unmaking of things). This presence has gained Sphere Borders and Edges: +2 to actions that involve Borders and Edges

It then attempts to cleanse itself of Violence [6-6(irony of recent actions penalty)=0] but manages nothing. Finally it tries to compel Grinch Banana the Incarnation of Violence to guard the newly created Complex Five Dimensional Barrier [6] but the fell beast is disinterested and [7] just floats there, trying to come to terms with what these changes will mean for Violence.

THUS ENDED THE AGE OF CREATION!     

((First of all, with the 5,5,5 that split the universe into 5 pieces, I rolled 1&4, 2&3, 1&4, in case anyone was interested. I tried to be reasonable about how to proceed in light of Xantalos accidentally not gaining power over time and space and then breaking time and space into five pieces. Sorry again to those people who didn't get all their actions through, but most of it was when someone had 5 or more actions that I left out later ones, like Jbg97's madness scream. Spoilers, more information about the state of the universe after recent events and creature/race turns some time tomorrow. Also, damn, that took about 5 hours. Coincidence?))

Attempt to create a form for myself that is not a specific form with matter in it, but rather something defined by the absence of anything, with borders keeping anything from entering the space as the outside. (i.e. if I were to make myself a dragon, and nothing else existed, this form would be an empty space in the shape of a dragon, and everything else is the universe.)
>Create an avatar for myself in the shape of a labyrinthine network of tunnels in between the universal shards, allowing travel between them but only at my will. These tunnels are essentially the essence of borders and lines embodied and will lead any who attempt to sneak through without my permission into the empty space between the universal shards, where they will both perish from not being able to exist out there and the Grinch Banana.
>Purge myself of Violence and add the residual power from this to the Grinch Banana.
>If Jbg97 attacks my barriers or attempts to alter them in any way, unmake his avatar and add his power to the Grinch Banana.

This is the Dawning of The Age of...

As the metaphorical dust from the Being of Borders&Edges' momentous actions settles the presences take note of the new arrangements of the Universe. What was once one is now five and the brewing war between Chaos and Order may go cold for now, with both sides so divided. All things in existence have fallen into one of the five Universe Shards.

Some of the presences are quick to act in this new age, perhaps because they missed out on the tumultuous events of the end of the Age of Creation.   

The thing from beyond the void smiled even as the Thing struck it. Now there were races to empower and taint. It flew between the worlds instilling fear in to even other presences. It went to the largest city and released upon them a plauge of things, terrible things that it has brought with it from beyond the void. From these things grew the fears of each race. doomed to trouble them for all time.
Scare other gods and shit. Go to the largest city of each race and release a pack of monsters that will form their fears.

One of the last presences to act comes through the end of the Age of Creation in [7] the Third Shard. Seeking the largest city of each race, it finds only those cities that form part of Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos, the Avatar of the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence. It goes to the largest and attempts to release a pack of monsters that will form their fears. It [12] transforms the city onto a new race that the Horrifying Madness Creatures will instinctively fear. Race Created: Reassuring Sanity Creatures. 1 kilo☼, Sphere:Order, Antithetical Fear Creature: +2 to actions that involve terrifying Horrifying Madness Creatures, -2 to Horrifying Madness Creatures rolls while in the presence of Reassuring Sanity Creatures. There are now only five cities forming the outside of Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos.

Action clarify: Crush all energy into a singular, primordial ball, despite of what it currently is.

One of the few presences yet to act is finally stirred by the ending of the Age of Creation. Emerging in [11] the Fifth Shard, it is disgusted by this new order of the Universe. It tries to draw all energy into a singular, primordial ball, no matter what form its in now, just like the good old days. It [8-2(sphere not very opposed)=6] manages to crush all 50 kilo☼ into an infinity small sphere. Celestial Object Destroyed: Cloud of HydrogenCelestial Object Created: Primal Sphere. This presence has gained Sphere:Regression: +1 to returning things to an earlier state, -1 to any actions involving something new

Observe on whats going on in the lesser races. Have the crystal avatar continuing to repair the wound, and use part of the shard to repair the crystal of life and psion. If the shard is influence by other gods cleanse it of their influence. Resist madness.

The God of Life emerges in [8] the Third Shard. It moves to investigate the only living things within the Shard, the Horrifying Madness Creatures on the Planet of Madness and those making up the the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence's Avatar. It notice that [7] many of the Horrifying Madness Creatures are fleeing one point along the Temporal Prison, giving the whole Avatar a sort of lopsided look. The Crystal Avatar [8] continues healing, so that no trace of it's previous injury can be discerned. Lastly, the God of Life [8] splits the Shard of Life and Psion in half, using half to attempt to restore the Crystal of Life and Psion to it's former glory. The shard [4+1(working withing spheres)=5] is absorbed, but the Crystal of Life and Psion still seems to be operating bellow it's full capacity. Lastly, the God of Life checks the now reduced Shard of Life and Psion for any influence by the other gods, but finds none. 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


((Right, that's it for today, 'cos I have a terrible hangover. Probably racial turn tomorrow, and also maybe the next proper turn. Maybe. Feel free to come up with a name for the new age.

For clarity on the whole shards/whats up with the new universal barrier thing, Xantalos' act of trying to contain all Order and Chaos with the Unbreakable Universal Barrier last turn was successful, whereas the "neatly divide Chaos and Order", which I interpreted in the context of "put them in different shards", failed. However, the writhing around of the old Unbreakable Universal Barrier and encircling of all Order and Chaos has basically placed things where they are now. If you want to try and imagine the current universe, imagine five sacks full of water tied together into a big old cluster of string/bulging sacks filled with stuff, except that the string is also the thing that defines the edge of the sack  :) . Also, some thing like the rift and pocket universe are outside the five shards, kinda.

Oh, and even though I've been placing presences/avatars in random shards with a dice roll if appropriate, the division is mostly relevant to things made of ☼ moving around, although the actual location of presences does have a few effects, like if you randomly draw power from whats nearby.

READTHISREADTHISREADTHISREADTHISYOUREALLYBETTERREADTHISIMSERIOUSLYNOTFUCKINGAROUNDHEREREADTHEDAMNTHINGALREADY

From the next turn onwards, as mentioned in the OOC thread, everyone will be able to take three actions and oppose or support one other presences action. So it should be something like:

>Make something out of that thing
>Try and change that thing I made
>Go and bring joy to the Horrifying madness creatures
"Quote"
Oppose this action!

Things like:

>same action
>same action
>same action

and

"Quote"
Oppose this action!
"Same Quote"
Oppose this action!
"Same Quote"
Oppose this action!

and other such shenanigans I will frown on  >:(. Feel free to ask any questions in the OOC thread. Finally, if everyone could make sure their actions for next turn have their spoilers updated, that'd be great.

Turn 4: The Unnamed Age Begins


> A new presence creates the concept (or would it be substance?...) of Hate;
> Then it converts 60 kilo of Madness into Hate;
>> If the first two actions count as one, it creates the concept (or would it be substance?...) of Light and converts all remaining diffuse raw power (70 kilo) into Light;

The last of the inactive presences starts to stir in the dawn of the new age. It finds itself [5] in the Second Shard. Something fills it, something yet to be defined. It [6-2(spheres)=4] draws 20 kilo☼ from the Planet of Madness and infuses into a new concept! Concept Created: Hate. This presence has gained Sphere:Hate: +1 to hateful actions. It then tries to draw raw power from the only remaining source, the Primal Sphere. Reaching across the Shards is difficult and [8] the Primal Sphere seems a little tricky to draw from. The presence [9-1-1(reaching across shards, difficulty)=7] pulls all 50 kilo☼ and transforms it into Light! [coinflip=heads] Concept Created: Light. The Primal Sphere has been destroyed!

Finally, it attempts to create a new cosmic entity, drawing [8-2(spheres)-6] 10 kilo☼ from the concept of Law, [4-2(spheres)=2] 3 kilo☼ from Violence and [7+1(spheres)=8] 20 kilo☼ of Hate. Cosmic Entity Created: Violent Hate the Rules of Revenge: Attacks anything trying to draw power from it or the Target, Target may be set by the creator. The concept of Law has been reduced to 2 kilo☼! It [7] has been weakened! -1 to all Lawful Actions.

((Sorry about the Light action, slightly shoddy accounting on my part. There's currently (as of starting this action) 55free kilo☼ in the universe, crushed into the Primal Sphere and in the Rift. Or there was. Also, there's actually more that 2 kilo☼ of Law in the universe, but with so little in the actual concept I had to roll for it being weakened.))

((Aaaaand I've become an endlessly hungry rift. Not quite sure what to say about that.))
Consume the remaining burning spheres.
II AAPOOLOOGIIZEE. BUUT II AAM SOO HUUNGRYY...
After attempting consumption burning spheres, attempt to consume the crystal of Life and Psion.
II CAANT STOOP MYSEELF. HEELP MEE...

The Riftborn hungers. Out on the borders of time and space it sees the glittering gem of the divided universe. The hunger is to much, and it tries to sate itself by eating the remaining Burning Spheres. It [11+3-1(devouring, reaching across shards)=12] manages to draw all 40 remaining  Burning Spheres in the Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres across space and time! The Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres has been destroyed! The Rift now contains 45 kilo☼ of raw power. The Rift's hunger has been reduced! All non devouring actions are now -3! Luckily, the Planet of the Dragons and the Tetrahedron remains unaffected, but things may be looking bleak for the Cluster Dwellers that rely on the Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres for food and warmth.

The Riftborn, still hungry, tires to devour the Crystal of Life and Psion! The God of Life tries to prevent it [8+3(devouring)=11] vs [8+2(+1life, +1 psion)=10] but is unable to stop the Riftborn's insatiable hunger. Fully [8+3=11] 25 kilo☼ of the Crystal of Life and Psion is ripped away! The Rift now contains 70 kilo☼. The Crystal of Life and Psion [6] no longer regulates Psion or Life energy.

((With the Riftborn eating things, I decided that the roll wouldn't be a straight number roll like drawing power, but would represent what fraction of the target is eaten. So the Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres was pretty unlucky, although the +3 helped.)) 

Give the gift of Psion to the Cluster Dwellers

Prevent THE RIFT from eating the Crystal of Life and Psion
See if there is a type of society within the Cluster Dwellers


The God of Life continues it's investigation of the various living things with the Cluster Dwellers. Seeing them floating dejectedly in the now empty void, it gives them the gift of Psion! [They 11+1(spheres)=12] adapt to this new power remarkable quickly. The Cluster Dwellers have gained Sphere:Psion: +1 to Psionic actions. Having completed this task successfully, the God of Life tries to discover if there is any type of society among the
Cluster Dwellers. It [8] discovers that there is nothing that resembles a true society, but that with the recent Psionic changes, something is beginning to form. +1 to next Cluster Dwellers action.
 
Take Order and Law and create a race of felinoid humanoids with a single horn on their heads. They shall be my envoys, my soldiers, and my children.

The Being of Law, Order, and Peace takes [5+2(sphere)=7] 4 of the 8 kilo☼ from the concept of Order and [10+1(sphere)=11] the remaining 2 kilo☼ from the Concept of Law. The concept of Law [11] has been embodied! Race Created: Horned Felinoids:Sphere:Order:Sphere:Law:+1 to lawful actions, -1 form chaotic actions:Embodies Concept: Law: Law and the Horned Felinoids are one and the same

((For a little clarity on what's going on with drawing from concepts and the results, when people have been making things within their sphere out of a concept (order avatars out of Order etc) I haven't rolled for weakening because the energy is still being used within it's sphere. But when people use concepts to make opposed stuff and draw a reasonable chunk, or when the last kilo☼ of energy is drawn, I have to roll. Lucky 11 there, bad things could have happened to Law.)).

>Steal from the power of <insert strongest concept> concept to:
>>Infuse the concepts of knowledge, advancement, and learning with energy to the point where I gain those spheres.
>>Create systems in the pocket universe.
>>Construct a grand palace within the first system that won't be devoured by the suns. (floating in space, not on a planet)
>>Populate planets within the pocket universe with highly-intelligent, knowledge-seeking, reasoning life


The maker of the Pocket Universe tires to steal power from the concept of Chaos. It [9-2(spheres)=7] draws 20 kilo☼.  and uses it to infuse the concepts of Knowledge, Advancement and Learning. The concept has been empowered with 10 kilo☼! This presence gains Sphere:Knowledge, Advancement and Learning: +1 to actions involving Knowledge, Advancement and Learning. It then uses 5 kilo☼ to create systems in the pocket universe, creating [2+1=3] three planets orbiting the three Burning Spheres. Finally, it takes the remaining 5 kilo☼ and uses it to create a grand palace floating in space between the three Burning Spheres. Celestial Object Created: Grand Palace.

((I can make Knowledge, Advancement and Learning three separate concepts if you want, but for now I've kept it as one. Also, I didn't count steal power as an action (cos it's more of a directions of how to carry out your actions) but you now only get three per turn and can oppose or support one other player's action, so I did the first three and left out the fourth.))

Take as much energy from my old Time Prison and the Horrifying Madness Creatures which settled there, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, THOSE TRESPASSERS, into a new prison to contain the Presence of Madness. This takes priority over all my other actions!!
The Presence of Time and Space creates a lake of liquid hydrogen for his tetrahedron, drawing about 5 kilos of energy from the Cloud of Hydrogen and about 5 kilos from the various mad creatures on my temporal prison.
Take 40 kilo of Heat Energy, 10 of the diffused stuff and 30 from the Stable Sphere of Fire. Use 25 to reinforce space, 10 to create an avatar of a dragon with firey wings, and 5 to create a race of dragons with two foreclaws and half a dozen tail/tentacles. This race shall be called the Hydrakes and will be placed in the lake of liquid hydrogen.


The Presence of Time and Space takes a slight break from it's dragon creating spree and notices what's been happening with that Temporal Prison it made. It is not pleased. It draws [8+1-2(spheres aligned:time, spheres slightly opposed:Chaos)=7] 55 kilo☼ from the Temporal Prison and [6-2(spheres slightly opposed)=4] 9 kilo☼ from the Horrifying Madness Creatures and their cities and shapes it into a new prison. The new prison is [8+1=9] slightly harder to escape from that the last one. Celestial Object Created: New Time Prison: -1 to escape attempts. The New Time Prison encloses Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos, the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence's avatar. This presence has gained Sphere:Time: +2 to actions involving Time.

The Presence of Time and Space tries to use Hydrogen from the Cloud of Hydrogen, but discovers that it was transformed into some sort of Primal Sphere, which has since been transformed into the newfangled concept of Light. Frustrated, it tries to draw from those Horrifying Madness Creatures that are still all over the original Temporal Prison. It [4-2(spheres slightly opposed)=2] manages to pull away only 1 kilo☼, using them to create a lake of Hydrogen on the Tetrahedron. The lake [10] just sits there on one of the flat sides.

Finally, the Presence of Time and Space tries to draw 40 kilo☼ from Heat to make a race of a race of dragons with two foreclaws and half a dozen tail tentacles. It decides to try and draw 30 kilo☼ from the Extremely Stable Sphere of Fire, but notices that it was transformed into the Being of Fire's avatar so instead draws [3-2(spheres slightly opposed=1) 1 kilo☼ from the Heat diffused Heat. Race Created:Hydrakes.

((Heh, I've got a feeling that as people try to fix what their opponents have damaged that recursion could become as much of a threat as everything being devoured. I only did part of your last action, because it was basically three actions (reinforce space, make another avatar, make another draconic race). I picked "make hydrakes" because it fit with the other action of making the lake for them, whereas the other two are more standalone type things.))     

>Fix my weaken avatar of birdlike fire
>Help javier with history story time
>Try and collect the diffused heat

Spoiler: spheres (click to show/hide)

The Being of Fire attempts to fix its weakened avatar [8+1(spheres)=9] and manages to remove it's temporary weakness to Sphere Tainting. It then tries to collect all of the diffuse Heat in the universe, [4+1(spheres)=5] but only manages to pull in 10 kilo☼ out of 29 kilo☼. Celestial Body Created: Infinitely Small Heat Sphere: -1 to instability rolls .

INFUSE MADNESS AND CHAOS INTO THE BARRIERS. NO LONGER ARE THEY WALLS, BUT SIMPLY GREATLY EXPANDED AREAS OF SPACETIME, IT WILL MAKE INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL FOR MORTAL RACES A PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOTHING FOR THE TIMELESS PRESENCES THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSES.

START CONSUMING ALL THE MATERIAL I CAN FIND, EXCLUDING THE MADNESS CREATURES AND THE PLANET OF MADNESS, AND USE ALL OF IT TO CREATE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MADNESS CREATURES. PUT A PORTION OF THEM ON EVERY PLANET/SPHERE/LOCATION WITH ANY LIFE AT ALL AND HAVE THEM WIPE IT OUT. THEN HAVE ALL THE SURVIVING MADNESS CREATURES MULTIPLY LIKE CRAZY ALL ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.

REMEMBER TO EAT GWG's AVATAR AS WELL, THEN IMPRISON HIS ESSENCE WITHIN MY OWN TWISTED AVATAR. OH, AND WHEN I LAUCH THE BLACK CRUSADE, LEAVE JAVIERPWN'S SEMI-MADNESS CREATURES ALONE, THEY'VE KINDA GROWN ON ME.


The Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence attempts to infuse Madness and Chaos into the Complex Five Dimensional Barrier, taking [5+1(spheres)=6] 6 kilo☼ from the [coinflip:tails] Planet of Madness and [8+2(spheres)=10] 10 kilo☼ from the concept of Chaos. The Madness [6+1-2(spheres, slightly opposed spheres)=4] fails to penetrate the barrier and the Chaos [3+2-2(spheres, slightly opposed spheres)=3] follows shortly after.

The Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence then tries to consume all the material it can find, excluding the Horrifying Madness Creatures and the Planet of Madness, to make more Horrifying Madness Creatures. Seeing as it is now trapped in the New Time Prison, only the original Temporal Prison that forms part of its avatar and the Madness Cities fit this criteria. It draws away [5+2( original Temporal Prison was corrupted and gained Sphere:Chaos)=7] 25 kilo☼ form the Temporal Prison and [11+1(spheres)=12] all 5 kilo☼ from the Madness Cities creating a total of 30 kilo☼ of new Horrifying Madness Creatures. The avatar Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos is [10] unaffected by this outflow of energy. It tries to hurl the newly created creatures at every thing created in the universe [7-1(escape attempts)=6] but they rebound from the walls of the New Time Prison. 

Frustrated by this lack of success, the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence tries to devour the Presence of Time and Space's avatar, The Violence of Time & Space the Two Headed Dragon. It [2+1+1-2(spheres, avatar resist violence penalty,reaching across shards)=2] but gets nowhere. Maybe it should have a quite word with the Riftborn?.

The presence will slither through the known universe Bringing fear to all the races. ItForms a small hole in the unbreable barrier so that it may draw things through. Finally, it Creates a planet of Fear and Terror where all things go to die.
Scare Xantlos to death if he so much as things of as unmaking me.

The presence that made the Reassuring Sanity Creatures attempts to bring fear to all the races now in existence. It notices that no such concept, substance or force yet exists. Examining the situation [8] it sees that the Reassuring Sanity Creatures, Orderly as they are, may hold the seeds of such a thing. +1 to next attempt to create the concept of Fear. It then tries to break a small hole in the  Complex Five Dimensional Barrier [8-2(spheres slightly opposed)=6], coming close to succeeding, only being held back by the difficulty of working in a Sphere with which it is not aligned. Lastly, it tries to create a planet of fear and terror, but those concepts not existing and no free ☼ lying around frustrates the attempt. Undaunted, it tries anyway, [11] creating a partially flawed planet out of nothing! Afterlife Created: Planet of Fear and Terror: All living things are drawn here upon death, may attempt escape due to the flaw.

((Ok, so with the Age of Creation being over, I'm being a little more harsh on people creating stuff without specifying what's they're doing it from. I've allowed you to try and make the planet from nothing, like the Ethereal Dragon avatar and Space, but for it to be wholly successful you would have needed a 12. This partial success has created a sort of flawed afterlife planet. It doesn't have Terror and Fear yet, 'cos those don't exist, but can be added like with the empowering of Knowledge, Advancement and Learning.))     

>Create an avatar for myself in the shape of a labyrinthine network of tunnels in between the universal shards, allowing travel between them but only at my will. These tunnels are essentially the essence of borders and lines embodied and will lead any who attempt to sneak through without my permission into the empty space between the universal shards, where they will both perish from not being able to exist out there and the Grinch Banana.
>Purge myself of Violence and add the residual power from this to the Grinch Banana.
>If Jbg97 attacks my barriers or attempts to alter them in any way, unmake his avatar and add his power to the Grinch Banana.

Unmake (mcclay) if he so much as goes NEAR my barriers.
Take the 7.5 kilo (symbol) raw violence and infuse it into the Grinch Banana.

[/quote]

The Spirit of Borders and Edges makes another attempt to create an avatar for itself, twisting the Complex Five Dimensional Barrier into a new form. It [7+2(spheres)=9] succeeds, creating a labyrinthine network of tunnels in between the universal shards, allowing travel between them  only at its will. Avatar Created: Wormhole Labyrinth: connects the five shards, allows travel at the Spirit of Borders and Edges' will, may not move.

It then attempts to purge itself of Violence [8-2-1(spheres slightly opposed)=6] but once again cannot remove the Sphere.

Lastly, the Spirit of Borders and Edges attempts to unmake the creator of the Reassuring Sanity Creatures and the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence, as both have tried to interfere with its barriers. Choosing a target [coinflip:heads] it tries to unmake the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence! It [7+2-1(spheres destruction, spheres very slightly opposed)=8] doesn't do any damage as yet, but the Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence is feeling more vulnerable than before.

((Ok, so the I felt the reactions to Jbg97 and mcclay were more conditional actions than oppose/support type things, so coinflipped for which one you'd retaliate against. Since this is the first real direct presence on presence attack (Jbg97's attack on jaass was more "hmm, physical things don't hurt presences, better make him a body to hurt) we're just starting to explore how that works. As you can see, the Spheres a presence has have an effect on this. To do accomplish something nasty (probably some flavor of Sphere bonus loss or other appropriate devilry that pops into my mind when I'm working the action out) would have needed a 10, 11 or 12 to succeed, whereas most normal actions have 8-12 forming the "you succeed this awesomely with your action" scale. Basically, with direct presence on presence stuff, 8's and 9's will only get you a temporary something nasty.))   

Visit sphere creatures using physical form
(Tell them the history of creation)
Assert dominance over my creations
Also create powerless concept of change


The maker of the Enormous Hollow Sphere decides to visit the Sentient Sphere Creatures in its avatar, the Deku Scrub trialing an Enormous Floating Hollow Sphere. The Sentient Sphere Creatures [11+2(spheres)=13] are utterly awed by their creator (+1 to next action). The maker of the Enormous Hollow Sphere tells them the history of creation [6+1(bonus)]. They take in most of the information, but get confused over the many concepts that are unfamiliar to them. There are many conflicting opinions over such matters as the role the God of Life played in the creation of Chaos (even as only a passive instigator) and whether the Spirit of Borders and Edges is in fact the true source of Destruction in the universe. Racial Knowledge Gained: History of Creation, Racial Concept Created:Disputational Theology.

The maker of the Enormous Hollow Sphere then tries to assert dominance over it's creations, [7+2(spheres)=9] and there is no doubt that they recognize the power of their maker. Racial Concept Created: Worship of Deku Scrub trialing an Enormous Floating Hollow Sphere.

Then, seeing how much is new in the universe, it creates the powerless concept of Change. Powerless Concept Created: Change.

>Keep crushing things into primal ball.
>Reconnect the shard I'm currently in with others.
>Reestablish universal barrier.


The Being of Regression tries to continue to crush things into primal balls, [coinflip:tails] attempting to crush the Planet of the Dragons! It [9+1-2(spheres, spheres slighlt opposed)=8] succeeds, creating an infinitely small 1 kilo☼ sphere of raw power. The Planet of the Dragons has been destroyed! 1 kilo☼ Celestial Body Created: Primal Sphere. The Simple Dragons [7] flap unhappily in the void of Space.

It then attempts to reconnect the Fifth Shard with the others [7+1-2(spheres, spheres slightly opposed(space))=7] but cannot warp space back to how it was. Finally, it tries to reestablish the old Universal Barrier [4+1-2(spheres, spheres slightly opposed(borders and edges)=3] but can't even come close.

Also, universal barriers stop sound. There's nothing outside of them for sound to travel in. Plus there's no air in space.

Attempt once again to infuse what remains of raw Violence into the Grinch Banana, or, failing that, give it the ability to replicate very slowly, but ensure it will not attack me first. If I cannot ensure that it will not attack me, do not give it the ability to replicate.
