"As much as I do not want to rule, I also do not particularly care for being struck down or cast out."
"Dibs on ruling."
Digita teleports a few miles in a random direction, away from the other gods. She extends her palm into the ground and sends a pulse deep into the ground. That pulse causes geothermal energy to begin seeping up through the ground. At the same time, she begins to convert the surface of the area into metal, extending underground a short distance.
"Interesting."
Examine the boiling liquid.
Hmn? Ruling? It's overrated. I prefer and advisory role.(4)Acter begins the task of making the surrounding area hospitable. Rather than hard, volcanic rock, the ground begins to turn into soil, capable of sustaining life. -400 CP
Now though... I think we'll need to improve this place a bit before it can hold life.
Begin working the world so that rather than being a molten sphere, it has areas upon which living beings can survive.
Only one? Firstly, what proves this as undeniable truth? Second, this could mean only one god, or only one group of gods. So, one does not have to lead alone."I would presume that from the wording of whatever being brought us here, one among us will attempt to rise to power and kill, seal, or banish those who oppose them. Even if we do not, I feel the being that brought us here has other methods of culling the pack If we somehow manage to avoid all conflict."
Digita creates a small, hovering ball of energy, and grants it basic sentience. The creature, which she dubs "Binary", consumes pure energy seeping up through the ground and uses that to split and form more Binaries. When threatened, it discharges bolts of lightning in defense. She observes the entity as it begins its "Life".(5) Digits easily created the single 'being.' In fact, it works so well, that it immediately splits into three. -50 CP
"I would agree, acter. Perhaps a pact against those who would see us dead is in order?"(4) You offer up your assistance, and by following his lead, you help him cover twice as much area.
help after to make the world hospitable for beings other than ourselves.
"If allowed I would like to join this 'we don't want to rule but we want to live group'"(5) You also assist Acter, but in addition to providing more soil, you make it extra fertile. -400

Mutaeguer will create a large, spherical structure with a hole through the middle from from to back, like a bead, and dubs it a Terran Sphear. It will move in a spiral path out from the currently soiled land, and change the land it crosses over into similarly soiled land. This process requires CP, which gods can input into it freely up to its capacity. The land created would differ to different degrees if gods of different spheres put mana into it.
"Soil. Excellent, and my thanks."
Septus samples the atmosphere. Can it support life?
"There shall be an impartial light, one that shine indiscriminately on all that live. The Light of Judgement"(Second star. The first was created when we were created by whatever created us.)
Create the Light of Judgement, the first Star.
(Oh right :("There shall be an impartial light, one that shine indiscriminately on all that live. The Light of Judgement"(Second star. The first was created when we were created by whatever created us.)

Alaheris starts creating water to form an ocean.(3) You struggle trying to form water out of thin air, but you manage to at least get halfway there. The sky is filled with rain clouds, ready to rain down on the location of your choice.
"For the good of us all, I am willing to assist."
Septus pulls energy into his mouth, and blows into his hand, forming seeds for the first plants. Septus tosses the seeds into the air and blows upon them, scattering them. The first three plant species:
[words]
If Septus does not have enough CP to create all three new plant species, he creates only Puffballs.

Create some simple plants - just grass, really, maybe the beginnings of some grains - to live on the fertile ground and to grow.
I didn't actually remember what you made...Create some simple plants - just grass, really, maybe the beginnings of some grains - to live on the fertile ground and to grow.
"What, are the plants I made not good enough?"
Check to see if the Binaries are eating the Smoke Tree fruit.
Whispermill begins work on creating a vast stone temple to live inside, at this point A building that is just a bunch of obnoxiously elaborate granite pillars supporting a wide triangular prism with a white sand floor.
Alaheris continues making the oceans.(4)After using so much energy trying to create water, stimulating the clouds to begin their downpour was almost effortless. The wasteland seems to sink slightly as the rainwater hits it, causing the water to begin rushing towards the West, away from the Terran Sphere and portal. This will take some time, but progress is already visible. -100
Dikaios decides to raise some mountains.(1) Worn out from starbuilding, Dikaios struggles with creating a mountain range. In a last ditch effort, he tries to expend more energy than he has, and causes an earthquake! Instead of creating mountains, great fissures crack open in the earth. Soaked with Dikaios' power, the newly made cliffs are shock white, reflecting the light from the star he created. The rainwater begins to fill into these valleys, creating a trio of rivers leading to the pool of water. -500,
Create some simple plants - mostly tall grass, really, with the beginnings of some grains - to live on the fertile ground and to grow.
((Digita is misspelled Digits in the first post, probably an auto correct error.))
Digita attempts to increase her power- if she does not have enough energy, she tries absorbing a binary to gain the required power (hopefully, the pure energy of a binary will be close enough to the Divine energy of a god).

Rest.
Rest.
As you have performed an action for turn 2, you will have to wait until turn 3 to rest. I am willing to queue it up for you, so feel free to continue acting as you wish.
Turn 2.2Ah. Whoops. Well, unless I have power, I can't really do anything. I'll just wait for now.
rest
First action, to be taken as soon as I enter reality. This is all assuming there's still room.(5) Your affinity to water makes this an easy task, and in fact, allows you to easily enlarge the ocean. If desired, you can make it even bigger by pouring more CP into it. Continue? -200
Working with the God of Beauty, enhance the volume and spread of the oceans.
Why don't we shape seven continents, one large continent surrounded by six smaller ones, with a larger ocean on the side of the planet opposite the largest continent?
Assuming that player enters:
"It's an interesting idea, but not a necessary one. I would prefer to let the world grow as it may."
~~~
"Though the land grows, the seas do not."
Create a new pseudo-plant species: the River Plume. River Plumes are long stalks that grow only underwater, taking their carbon dioxide from the surrounding water instead of from air. River Plumes reproduce by detaching pieces of themselves that flow downstream and reattach later on, becoming a new plant. Place them in the Three Rivers.
(By turn 3, will Digita have regenerated to positive energy? Or will she be in a state of forced rest?)(I edited the post in the OC to clarify, because I forgot you regenerate CP at the end of each turn. Because you end up positive at the end of the turn, you will no longer be exhausted on turn three, but you should probably rest anyways because you will only have 75 CP.)

(4)You plant River Plums at the start of the three rivers, anticipating that they will spread. Are they fruit bearing?

You can, or you can create a sentient creature now and make it sapient after waking up from hibernation (hint: option 2 is cheaper).Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Or roughly-cube shaped creatures of various sizes and colours if that's too much right now. Each has a unique set of sunken lines, locks, cog wheels and other interlocking designs so that they form a whole when combined. They travel in great hordes as a hive-mind, connected among eachother so that they form a winding staircase to the sky. Those who are at the edges still grow and when they reach twice their regular size, they split. Each of the resulting cubes is unique, as their parent cube decides how it will split. They feed on light and all enter hibernation when there's not enough of it. Name them Sotrals.
River *Plumes
I fill in the ocean until there's more ocean than land. The great deep is now covered with thick mist and rife with convoluted and unintuitive currents.
If there's still enough CP left, I create small, purple-spotted red creatures that both swim and fly for short distances. They divide to reproduce; their reproduction is fast but attenuated by the presence of other similar creatures nearby and by food levels. They move by taking in a large quantity of water and explosively expelling it, propelling them forward. Having no fins or recognizable appendages, their shape consists of a flexible lump with two tubes on opposite ends. The last stage in their life-cycle consists of them swimming to shore and simultaneously growing a thick exoskeleton, jointed in the middle, that impedes their movement. Once they reach shore, they pressurize the exoskeleton and launch themselves much further than possible without an exoskeleton onto the land, where they die. Their intelligence is extremely limited, their chief strength being their fast reproduction and group mentality. They eat any impurities in the ocean, keeping it clean and pure. They have no name, for there are no sentient creatures that have named them.

Digita decides against rest, and creates a metallic grass that will slowly spread from metal tiles onto adjacent tiles, and convert the terrain of those tiles to metal.
Whispermills calls forth strength from within themselves and Births The Whisperers from their own flesh.
The whisperers are small six limbed bird like people covered in black and purple feathers.
Their first two limbs are built for digging and have strong hard claws for the second set is rather humanoid in construction to allow for advanced tool use and the third set resembles the legs of a turkey. Their heads a rather dolike with the exeotion of a squid/parrotlike beak at their front, the posses a short tail like what might be seen on a diving bird.
She leaves them with instructions on how to build fire and two main guidelines for life before He returns to slumbering withing the temple.
1. Do not make provoke war with your neighbors
2. Treat other Whisperers with kindness and generosity whenever possible.
Hmn...(4) You create a city carved out of the walls of the cliffs. It looks sturdy enough to stand the test of time.
Start carving a city out of the walls of the cliff. I will be butting sentient mortals there once I can.
Walk forth from the emptiness of the void.
Observe all of creation, so that I might locate an individual worthy of being a champion of mine.
That is, if I ever find anything that knows of the concept of valor.
Or at least capable of abstract thought.
Create migrating winds of ice that will carve cave systems into rock. They rarely gather in large numbers as they repel eachother.
Freed from the bounds of CP, Acter makes a moon, and puts a huge tree and an atmosphere on it. He does not care if this will take a while.
Digita immediately begins turning more of the planet's surface into metal, and spawning more Binaries where possible.
"More power will be a necessity."
500 CP to increase my maximum CP.

Missed this?
With the amount of players we have, I don't feel like I can justify the type of game I want to play.It's no longer applicable.
Solution: This is going to be completely simplified: no CP, no resting, no leveling up. Just good, clean, fun actions. Eventually I will start a new game that will have a strict player limit, but for now, let's continue!
I give my chosen Whisperer champion my blessings, so it shall go forth and do deeds in my name.
The blessing I give will be one of willpower and might.
(Kind of vague of what the effects they will have, don't you think? ;) )
For now, this creature will do. I expect many more to eventually follow, regardless of species.
Eh, works well enough.
Create the Saetren within the city that I have created; these beings are sentient, are humanoid, and are driven to improve themselves and that which is around them. They also have an implicit understanding of agriculture, and knowledge of the gods and their actions. After a few months, I will choose one among them to be marked as their leader; they will be chosen for showing intelligence and compassion.
create bioluminescent algae(5) The algae you create is quite beautiful, and an excellent source of light and food for the critters of the sea. It quickly begins to spread through the ocean, turning that drab sea into a colorful spectacle.
Well okay then. Create a new species of plant, the Baiter. The baiter is a long stalk growing up from the ground, and grows a single fruit on top. The fruit is insanely tasty, and has many medicinal properties... and is used as bait. The Baiter can live on sunlight, but its preferred food is blood. Specialized roots grow underneath the Baiter's main body, and when the Baiter senses pressure on the ground above those roots, the roots shoot upwards, impaling the trespasser and absorbing their blood.
Create a humanoid metallic body (like a robot) and infuse it with a large amount of divine power- try to give it sentience.
Continue expanding the ocean
Create Pathon, a giant caterpillar trailing behind the Sotrals and protecting them from afar. It feeds on darkness.
That's it, there is no more. Wait for the century post

(6) [It sounds like you are trying to create sapient life, so I will go with that] Your attempt at creating a sapient being goes better than your other gods. The Saetren are born, and their drive to improve themselves and others around them is obvious right from the start, as they begin fertilizing the land around them to start farming. One has to ask though, is there a price they wouldn't pay for improvement?
After a few months, I will choose one among them to be marked as their leader; they will be chosen for showing intelligence and compassion.I put in a failsafe for that, mate.
