or maybe like how bacteria have a choice between the two? and if asexual, binary fission or budding? or seeds? just trying to help.

Perhaps something like "severed body parts regrow into a whole new Whateverwecallit"?

EDIT: By popular demand:

Can I join?

Of course! The more the merrier! Plus, given the death rate (high), anybody can join/re-join at any time, so you have no excuses not to!

Count me in.

Ok, the 9th continent has officially gone tits up. I'm sinking it Atlantis style into the center of the earth and hoping for the best unless something good starts happening there.

No, make an actual mighty act and send it to the other side of this planet's orbit around the sun, and make another planet around it.  When space travel is achieved, the situation will prove amazing Fun to the deities.

You know, I should actually make the universe properly. Maybe rip a hole to the Veil and fish a few billion galaxies from it.

Yes, do that instead of genocide.

Hey! I've made that my home base and am currently stabilizing it. Don't you sink my base of operations; if you're willing to destroy your creation so that we can't alter it I'm pretty sure we'll team up against you.

Hey, I said I'd sink it if nothing good happens there, currently it is a hellish wasteland inhospitable to life partly covered by a jungle inhospitable to life infested with: dragons that eat everything they see, an eyeless monstrosity of a dwarf, dwarves that are eternally on fire, dwarves that have been turned into lizard things, and various people driven insane by all the previously mentioned events.

Also normal dwarves. And it's perfectly hospitable. Dwarves lived in the jungle (for a while), to say nothing of all the not-dwarves who live there.

You drove all the insane people insane, the Children like it that way, and I'm not sure about the Soultaken.

If nothing else, they can survive in the jungles better than dwarves. And dwarves do it pretty well--Udil killed a fangdrake with his bare hands.

I drop the diving gear and just bring a snorkel with me.

[3] You manage to climb up about two feet before slipping back down.

Type in what I asked for last turn!

[5] The machine gives it to you after you respawn.

"How rude, first off you plan on killing me, and second off you say it's hard to get that sort of quality and yet you pump a haunted divers suit and a fairy. I would think that getting some clothes befitting of only a gentleman like myself would be easier. You, sir, are not a gentleman!"

(How have you guys not noticed its lack of audio receptors?)

Look for an armory.

[6] It's guarded by guards who treat you as an intruder. Respawn?

Modify SMG into a rocket launcher somehow.
Commence shootings.

It's kinda impossible, and you don't have any rockets. You get stabbed and [6] are okay.

GM TURN:
The ShadowBomination [4+1] flicks Tara far away before [6+1v4] stabbing Xantalos.
The drysuit [6v3] rips off one of superBLAST's arms.

I have no complaints about the story. Exposition is always nice--I like learning more about the world.

Talk to the AI in the turret in my free time. Um...about its past or something. Maybe chat about the future, too, and what the AI would like.

I think I might be for giving full racial status to this thing, so amazing.

We should produce a few more for kickstarting purposes, say 6. Then we can test them and send them to scout.

Yea, let's take a rip out of that one guy and throw clay on and breath on it 'n stuff.

Not until we know if he's willing to have that done. We shouldn't take a rib/tentacle without permission to make a mate s/he doesn't want.

Difference: He knew what he was doing, and had a way out of it.
My predicament is almost/entirely due to a sudden change in the rules, and barring some unexplained massive wave of conversion to me despite me cutting off all healing miracles, I'm not getting to wake up.

Yeah, I'm a bit sore about that change...
It doesn't help that there's no logical reason why we're being charged the mana in the first place.
Yeah, I get it. You want us to join pantheons or battle over followers. Great. I'll be sure to do that. I'll work with others and such. Oh, wait, I've been working with most of the other Powers, leading to multiple large plans and at least one important decision which has come to fruition (dAIDS), and lack the mana to collaborate with anyone, as well as not having any enemies to fight or troops to fight them with.

I'm a bit annoyed. How do I get out of this? I don't need answers, just proof that answers exist.

"Weirdos. Well, I suppose I can't be called normal either...
"Hey, Helfd, you going with to deal with that rumored wizard? If not, lend it to Jerik or Roland. They kinda need it..."

Look for some herbs in the woods. Use them and the food we have to try and make meals. When not cooking or watching the skeletons, practice magic without destroying anything.
