You are omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent. So are the other players.
At present, nothing exists. Including you and the other players. Though this fact does not preclude you from being omnipotent.
Also, being omnipotent does not preclude your actions from being subject to the whim of d6 die:
1: Trust the plan
2: *Disappears in a puff of logic*
3: Well, that was a disappointment
4: True neutral
5: TRUST THE PLAN
6: Hmm, what if...
-
I KNOW WHAT TO DO, CREATE A BUNCH OF ZEBRAS AND THROW THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE!
-
Take the nothingness and smash it's face into existence!

I KNOW WHAT TO DO, CREATE A BUNCH OF ZEBRAS AND THROW THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE!
[2]
But how can you throw something all over the place before there is a place? Quite the conundrum. Maybe a zebra is a kind of place?
Take the nothingness and smash it's face into existence!
[2]
You piledrive the nothingness's face into more nothingness, because nothing more certainly exists and that means that you can throw it around as much as you want.
-
Trust the Plan. Continue punching it into existence.
-
Condense some of this ambient nothing into a little bit of something—maybe the start of a Self?

You continue benevolently Not smacking the hell out of anything which does exist. You're so non-violent!
For this act of Omnibenevolence, your Omnipotence is powered up! Which doesn't do anything, because you're already all-powerful.
Okay, your next roll which involves Potence has advantage. Don't question it.

You don't squeeze anything down really hard until it becomes something. Or wait, you do? It's confusing.
There now exists a Matter. It seems to be VERY NORMAL MATTER with the sole property of being a "something" and existing. The fact that you got this stuff out of squeezing Nothing a bunch might have some strange implications. Or maybe not. You could choose to not question it. Even though you're Omniscient, so obviously you would know, but you could choose to make yourself not able to know if that would be more comfortable.
Currently there is a something and you are a nothing, but you could choose to Be the something.
"Be" the "something"? Y/N
-
Sure, why not. Be the something I want to see in the void.
-
You are now a Something and are made out of MATTER. Strangely, you have no other properties, besides omnipotence and other other omnis.
-
Fold Nothing and Something together, create WORLD. Punch vigorously to mix and bake for 10 millennia until fluffy and crisp.
-
Divide myself up into different kinds of matter, with different properties. Let’s get some primordial elements baybeee
-
RENDER MYSELF NON-OMNIPOTENT.
-
Yawn, stretch, then sharpen my claws on whatever happens to be close by. Then seek the warmest place I can find.

Holly sheet that's bad luck.
You bake up a WORLD. But you left it in the oven too long! Now the WORLD is full of mischievous BAD DEMONS! That no benevolent!

[5]
Someone folds you a bunch and punches you, but you just use that energy to modify your components, creating a dense soup of hot and cold and alive and dead and light and dark. And all that matter has the property Linked because it's all you.
RENDER MYSELF NON-OMNIPOTENT.
[4]
You do so. Being nonexistent and omniscient, you may only act by Observing. Further self-modification will not be possible.
Yawn, stretch, then sharpen my claws on whatever happens to be close by. Then seek the warmest place I can find.
[4]
Since you don't exist, you don't have claws. Anyways, you sharpen your claws on Tallik, and then curl up in a cluster of warn matter within Tallik.
Create the zebra, BE THE ZEBRA!
[1]
You create THE DEVIL.
"Be" THE DEVIL? Y/N
-
Sure I'll be the devil that sounds fun.
-
EXIST
-
Whisk the Non-omnipotent with the Existing, let sit in the freezer and bake into mortals in 100 years.
-
Offer kitty a blob of Dark to play with. While it’s occupied, begin shifting my elemental weight around—gathering Hot at the center and relegating Cold to the periphery.
-
Quickly steal some hot from the blob
-

You "be" the devil! Being the devil seems to actually change your metaphysical properties some, making you no longer omnibenevolent but instead "mostly" malevolent, with a purpose of inflicting meaningless suffering on the world! Yay!
Besides that, you are a red humanoid with horns and a tail in the mostly-void. There is a World full of BAD DEMONS you could probably boss around. Maybe.
EXIST
[1]
You unexist. Which is basically the same as existing but, you know, the opposite of that. It turns out that most things are basically just their own opposites, including states of being.
Whisk the Non-omnipotent with the Existing, let sit in the freezer and bake into mortals in 100 years.
[2]
You try to whisk the WORLD, but the demons get mad and latch onto your whisk, creating too mush drag to use it efficiently!

[4]
Kittytac isn't in this game! You give Cat some dark blobbyness, though.
Pumping Hot to the center of the mass seems to work, creating a dense center of utmost heat. It seems to glow... with a GLORIOUSLY INCANDESCENT light!
Quickly steal some hot from the blob
[3]
You take some of the hot, but it's really just a Warm.
-
Squeeze it together, making it even hotter!
-
Try to EXIST again.
-
HUZZA! Quickly go the the world of bad demons and start bossing them around!
-
Whisk Harder! No demons gonna stop you from making an omelet. Whatever that is.
-
((Does that mean I’m a mass of incandescent gas? A gigantic nuclear furnace?))
Use the pressure of my Light to cast off the remaining Dark into an expanding void.
-
I just forgor that I was running a game for 4 days
Squeeze it together, making it even hotter!
[5]
You smoosh the Warm, making it into a smaller Hot.
Try to EXIST again.
[5]
You try, which is not the same as doing.
Okay fine, you exist. You're not really anything in specific because you didn't define that, so it doesn't make much difference.
HUZZA! Quickly go the the world of bad demons and start bossing them around!
[4]
You do a song and dance number about how you're in charge. The BAD DEMONS seem somewhat swayed to your cause! Whatever that happens to be.
Whisk Harder! No demons gonna stop you from making an omelet. Whatever that is.
[4]
You whisk the WORLD a bunch until it's all fluffy. In the process some of the BAD DEMONS also get whisked into cloudy ghost forms!
((Does that mean I’m a mass of incandescent gas? A gigantic nuclear furnace?))
Use the pressure of my Light to cast off the remaining Dark into an expanding void.
[5]
You cast away the dark, creating INFINITE SPACE! Or possibly finite, but the dark space expands out faster than your light can travel, making it effectively infinite.
-
Add sugar smoke, fire spice, and nice mortality to the mix, make humans.
-
Ask some of the demons if they'd be interested in being angels instead, seeing as we don't have any of those yet.
-
Toss a pinch of Alive in the WORLD’s general direction.
-
Keep Squeezing the hot together
-
FUSE with the blob of dark that DrMcTaalik offered me and BECOME A VOID CAT (https://www.reddit.com/r/VoidCats/).
-
Rudely barge in and put color on everything
-
Go around and convince more Bad Demons to join my as to yet be defined cause!

You add spice and mortality to the ghost demons. It seems to make them angry, and they whirl through the WORLD as firestorms, breaking things and demons in their way!

[2]
The demons say no, and stick their little tongues out at you.
Toss a pinch of Alive in the WORLD’s general direction.
[5]
You shoot the WORLD with alive-beams. Soon something deep in its core stirs, and shoots up feelers of fungus. The feelers get burnt by angry flame ghost demons, though.
PLANET vs Flame Demons: [1 vs 2]
PLANET flinches at the fire and its core does a nasty twitch, ripping the world in half! Now PLANET's vulnerable innards are being exposed to coldspace!
And the things living on PLANET are also having a bad time, considering that their ground just exploded.
Keep Squeezing the hot together
[6]
You squeeze the Hot a bunch! Eventually it shoots out of your not-hands as a spray of Spicy Cider! Better not let that touch anything living...

You nom the Dark. Nothing happens!
Rudely barge in and put color on everything
[6]
You splash a bunch of paint on everything and now everything is every color! Which is best, because more colors are more better!
Go around and convince more Bad Demons to join my as to yet be defined cause!
[6 5]
The screaming demons running around with arms over their heads as the floor explodes seem willing to follow you!

Edit:
If DoctorMcTaalik successfully gives me more dark, then FUSE with the blob of dark that DrMcTaalik offered me and BECOME A VOID CAT.
-
Have my bad demon followers follow me off the planet since the planet is busy exploding.

@Egan_BW, do I need to wait til next turn to do anything with the dark that DoctorMcTaalik is giving me? Or can I use it right away?
-
You can use it right away, assuming that dark is successfully given.
-
Out of curiosity, who are we waiting on?
-
I'm not waiting on anybody. Not really necessary for this kind of game.
