We all know how these 'Inspired by so-and-so' games go. You copy and paste their original post, pull out a thesaurus, and then change the words around enough so that it
looks like you wrote the whole damn thing yourself. Well, I respect your intelligence enough to not do that. Instead, I'm just gonna copy the last Titans of Creation post word for word (tweaking some numbers here and there) and not waste time getting this game out to the public.
You know what this is, this is a Titans of Creation clone! In this game each player takes on the role of a powerful Titan responsible for spending their stockpile of 1,000 finite points to make the world, the mortal life within, and the mystical forces both magic and divine without. The rules, point prices, and Titan sheets are below. There will be a soft limit of six players, but I might allow more because I like to overestimate how much writing I can handle.
- Private actions aren’t allowed, because you are Titans and subtlety is beneath you.
- Direct conflict isn’t permitted, because you are Titans and it would tear reality asunder.
- Posting without descriptions isn’t allowed, because you are Titans, not (soulless) robots.
- Cooperating on creations by splitting the point cost is permitted, because even if you are Titans, there’s no reason you can’t be civil.
- Trading points is permitted, because even if you are Titans, there’s no reason you can’t into mutual exchange for fun and profit.
- Lastly, breaking Forum rules isn’t permitted, because not even Titans can resist the might of the Toady One
-Note: Prices are not set in stone, and discounts may be thrown around willy nilly.
- Creating or altering a law of physics costs 250 points, or 20 if limited to a specific area. For example, this could be used to weaken/strengthen gravity, halt or cease aging, write a runic alphabet, or implement symbology on a metaphysical scale.
- Bending the shape of the cosmos costs 250 points. By default, the cosmos is in the shape of a bubble, but with this, it could be altered into a tube, pyramid, or more exotic shape, or the pieces of reality existing could be rearranged. This should not be done lightly, and can be reversed with a refund to the Titan responsible by a vote of no less than four others.
- Altering the cosmos costs 100 points. By default, there is one dim white star, and three habitable spheres orbiting it, but with this, another cosmic object could be made, or one already present changed. For example, the sun could be made a different color, or a sphere surrounded by moons.
- Adding another dimension to the cosmos costs 100 points. These aren’t beholden to the laws of physics and may serve whatever purpose its creator pleases, as a place of paradise/damnation for mortal souls, a seat of rulership for the lesser gods, or even a heavenly forge. The imagination is the only limit to their nature, but it’s advised that they be made possible for mortals to enter, even if by death.
- Creating a major geographical feature costs 50 points. For example, an enormous mountain range, saltwater ocean, or brackish swampland. Each sphere can hold fifteen, and is otherwise assumed to be endless desert, plains, or taiga, respectively, or if it is another created by a Titan, whatever environment was originally described in its creation.
- Creating a broad family of life costs 50 points. For example, coniferous trees, mammothine mushrooms, or giant vortices of light-reflecting obsidian. These need not abide by earthly norms and creativity is encouraged, but if a niche is left unmentioned, assume earthly plants and animals eventually evolve to fill it.
- Creating a specific life-form costs 10 points. For example, hollow trees, man-eating mushrooms, or malevolent giant vortices of light-reflecting obsidian.
- Creating a supernatural landmark costs 25 points, or 50 if large enough to occupy the space of a major geographical feature, these can overlap. For example, a seemingly infinitely tall tower, a wide-spanning deposit of precious stones, or a fountain of eternal youth.
- Creating a supernatural artifact costs 25 points, or 50 if strong enough to threaten the lesser gods. For example, a spyglass that can peer into the past or future, a weapon that grants its wielded perfect fighting skills, or a nondescript bag that can produce an endless supply of any narcotic.
- Creating a sapient race costs 50 points, and 50 more for each following a Titan’s first because the world can only hold so many. These can be evolved from already existing life or created wholesale, but for the sake of my sanity so long as the Titans are active, they’ll never advance beyond the Stone Age.
- Creating a lesser god (or goddess) to oversee the world once the Titan is gone costs 50 points, and 50 more for each following a Titan’s first, because the world can only hold so many. If a Titan wishes, once they’ve spent their points they may descend to become a lesser god at no additional cost, but this is a significant change and whether creating or descending, the Titan responsible still needs to fill the lesser god sheet.

Name: Devaoltl
Appearance: A giant winged feathered serpent of colorful polumage, that spots immense butterfly-like scaled and feathered wings that are ever-changing in shape, pattern, and color. The Titan has a curved jawline, and a crest of feathers that starts where the creatures eye are at; that shift in mass, structure, and form as it turns from a cat’s eye into a draconic one, as the giant aquatic-like ridge grows down to its spines and into its skinny but long tail. Devaoltl’ facial structure is that of smooth yet serpentine with a forked tongue and is usually a quadruped-limbed creature with even its limbs shifting into a different plumage pattern as it’s changes color from one hue to the next, and most interest to the tail of the creature shifts into a wooden bark form almost like a branch extending from it that grows out like a tree branch, with a myriad of different colored feather/leaf like objects (usually correlating to its mood) grows out it
Description: Devaoltl is one of kindred yet trickery and prefers a subtle and sees how-it-goes approach, formed from multiple dimensions of gods, arcane substance that they leave behind it left the misery and tragedy formed behind and shifted that of into entertainment and mischief. While the creature can be stern on serious topics, it is still a usually gregarious creature with a stifled laugh as well as a puckish sense of humor. The Titan’s merriment still can removed with caution and acting as a senginel when it needs to be,
Devaoltl hopes to shape not the world and even this shift of reality into one of an intrguining set of events, that both show merriment, tragedy, victory, to even despair. The Age of Creation shall be shifted and manipulated so that it can be a set of all wonderful mortals and terrifying leviathans/monsters, to both periods of golden and of darkness.

Massive, as expected with two gleaming blue slanted eyes made of gleaming light, that shift and move about their body to stare at whatever moves. The white flamed wings tipped blue combined with a body of light and fire bring forth a visage that lights up the night and that is clear to all. A faint smile is everpresent where lips would normally be expected, Puro posseses of long hair of firery orange at the roots that convergs to yellow as it goes down and ends at a bright white as it reaches down to the tips of their hair.
Ultimately Puro is likely to be seen in femenine terms considering the lithe nature of their form.

Puro is a representation of the sun, always watching upon all in the world and Puro's goals are to see all, know all and most importantly?
Puro wishes to be loved, to be aknoledged as the representation of something that gives life and to be remembered,for something that burns twice as bright, burns out twice as fast and dissapearing is what Puro fears the most.
In that way, they are just like mortals, wanting to be remembered, wanting to cling to existeance, wanting to live.
