Ema: a Story of Gods
(IC)
(Discord Link)

"Aaah... I'm so bored, so bored. I can't believe these jerks just left, really now... Mmh? Oh woah! A- a visitor?! Someone actually headed my call?! Ah! Ahem. <monotone voice> 'Welcome, Gods. I am your host, Ema, and the Soul of this Universe. It is an honor for me to...' Oh nevermind. I just really can't do that. Welcome to me, the sole and only Ema! I'm a newborn and rather empty universe. My Titans left me, and I'm awfully bored. Will you help me cure my boredom?"


I. Introduction


Everyone, hello and welcome to this God Game! In a little twist, I the GM will rarely speak in OOC. Ideally, this little speech should be the only time I do. For the remainder of the game, I will be assuming the role of Ema, your host and universe.

Well, have fun everyone!


II. Setting


"And that's it. So you are a God. Some Divine Being wielding incredible powers, capable of shaping worlds and ordering primeval forces to do your bidding. So here is the pitch. I'm in desperate need of company and things to do, and that's where you come! You will be creating stuff, destroying stuff, whatever you will. Anything you do will keep me entertained, I promise! There is a small catch though: my universe, my rules. I will be enforcing some liiittle rules here and there. It's mainly to prevent you lot to accidentally harm me by going overboard."

"The universe is not completely empty though, and I'm not entirely alone either. Here is what you can find currently:"

"Also, in case you know nothing of the outside world, here is some basic knowledge about the beyond. Though that's weird coming from me, given I never left this place."

Spoiler: The Divine Classes (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The Plane System (click to show/hide)


II. Rules and Mechanics


"I said you would be free to run around right? Well, not really. Sorry but my universe, my rules. I will be enforcing some liiittle rules here and there. It's mainly to prevent you lot to accidentally harm me by going overboard. Let's start with the Golden Rule."

I can change rules on the fly! I will try not to, as it would be a headache.

III. Supplements: Sheets and Miscellaneous stuff


"Your application form ha! It feels like I'm hiring someone. Well, I am in some way right? (...) Yeah, I totally am. And for "interior design". That's a bit depressing for some reason."

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

"The following sheets are there to help you and me. Please use them!"

"And I think that should be it! Feel free to ask me any question, I will try to answer as soon as possible."

"For now, I'm thinking of allowing in 5 or 6 Gods. Maybe more slots will open depending on stuff!"

Name: Manannan Silverhand
Class: Great Destructor
Appearance: His true form, adopted only within his realm, in visions to mortals, and generally where the needs of physical reality do not apply, is a perfectly flat pool of still water stretching off into the horizon in all directions. This is somewhat inconvenient for everyday purposes, so he is more commonly seen as a figure drawing design elements from whatever living entities he has lately seen, always with one hand or hand-analogue composed of silvery water (though not always the same hand).
Realm Style: An endless flat plane of still water with a transparent, watery humanoid figure seated floating in the centre, its head against its knees. Though this figure sometimes speaks for Manannan, it is not Manannan, and any who dare raise a hand against it will find their blows passing through nothing but ordinary water — for Manannan is (as you can probably figure out) the vast pool of water beneath instead. Although, when Manannan is not in his realm, the water is still there; it simply isn't Manannan at those times. He doesn't really know how that works and would prefer you not question it. Beings in some way native to the realm step lightly upon the surface of the pool and never sink into it, while outsiders, lacking this skill, are buoyed by platforms of ice created by the god wherever they go — and one key feature of this realm is that, though the water stretches endlessly in all directions and there is only one centre, no matter how far you may walk, you are never quite as far from the centre as you ought to be by the ordinary principles of geometry.
Spheres: Water, and spirit, which is the same thing as water, and the void between universes, which is also the same thing as those other two things.

And Manannan naturally speaks in orange, the better to stand out against the deep blue of his true form.

Yeah sorry, someone blew up a street in my state and took the internet down for multiple days with it.

Name: Acter Nobody
Class: Ascendant
Appearance: He looks like someone started the bare bones of a sketch of a humanoid being, and then brought it to life. In his right hand, he carries his shovel, and the arm has metallic-looking vines growing across and between the lines that make it up, while in his left hand, he holds a book (blank blue cover, golden pages), and that arm has a slowly-shifting stream of light extending from the shoulder to the wrist. He wears an intricately-decorated black-and-gold cloak, appearing somewhere between a mage’s robes and a scientist’s lab coat.
And yes, I'm pretty sure he's gotten more intricate each time I describe him. Sue me.
Realm Style: Acter's realm doesn't look like much, really. Mostly just like a normal town, or a city if those have become common. Essentially, it looks roughly similar to the most advanced location the mortals have made, or rather, draws elements from the most advanced places and things any and all mortals have made (be they technological or arcane), but it doesn't come across as explicitly divine. However, within it, Acter can "sketch out" various objects he may want or need; they retain a "drawn" appearance, though whether that manifests as the object being wireframe, looking like it's two-dimensional, or some other look depends on a mix of the current artistic paradigms of the mortals at a given moment in time and Acter's current mood and intent.
Spheres: Improvement, in all its forms.

And I speak like this, so I should thank you all not to try to mimic it.

Name: X’arilyg, Hope’s End
Class: Other One
Appearance: X’arilyg is a giant eyeball construct that looks like a eyeball centralized on the top, with a tower adorned to the giant eyeball, and curved claws that hold the giant bulbous eyeball in place. The purple ziggurat stretches out and the limbs of X’arilyg come out, his tentacles and tendrils adorn with purple tendrils and their are a mass of them, they all end with a giant eyeball with a purple glint to them, there are eight tentacles coming from the eye-ziggurat god, finally the colossal eyeball that the ziggurat holds up is a purple eyeball with a void as its cornea, the pupil is a skinny oval-shape that has a black void to its, X’arilyg center eye is the center of gravity point and all mass consumes to the entity’s will.
Realm Style: The realm of X’arilyg is powerful and opposing, it is a plain of shadow and purple mist, with constant fungal tower structures with mounted eyeballs that all connects with roots that connect to the central part of the realm, being X’arilyg eyeball ziggurat, and the realm seems to sprawl out eternally, like growing madness. The ground is a purple surface, that changes its physic from material to another, at the whim of its own discretion or rather interval randomness.
Spheres: The Mind ((Also referred by Insanity to the Blissful)), Psychology, Intricacy, Progression.. as they are things of the very fabrics that define dimensions, as all mortals are capable of these values and the laws of the realms allows these to exist. This entity does not see the negative connotation that needs to apply to a dimension, it is as intricate as it necessary, all things from mortals to the physics of a realm need growth and progression attach to them, so that we all may see their journey, the mind and one’s own inverse fallacy are just development that are innately intricate and must be explored, all things must progress and the consciousness even further so...

”The entity referred to as X’arilyg speaks its accordance in this hue of chromatic light

Right. I have a sheet ready.

Name: Mistem Rithtolun
Class: Ascended One
Appearance: A grizzled, scarred dwarf, armored with light leather armor and armed with an immaculate steel axe.
Realm Style (Optional): A small dwarven outpost; freshly established. However, the outpost is not the focus of the Realm, instead a field that can be described as 'A short ways to the east' of said outpost. This field is littered with bloodspatters and fallen equipment; all the evidence of a fierce battles only without the bodies. Towards the western edge of the battlefield, littered equipment of both dwarven and goblin make reside... But to the east lies a veritable pile of goblin equipment; topped by an immaculate axe...
Spheres: Protection, Sacrifice, Last Stands
