Once upon a time, there was ocean. It was barren and lifeless. But one day, there was something. No, someone. She came and created the land. She then put it right onto the ocean, and impossibly the land swam.

The goddess named the island Insula Numine, after the fact that they were going to be gods, and this was their island. She knew they will decide to make things more than they were, and they would start to imagine and create...

You play as omnipotent, but not all-knowing or omnipresent gods, like pagan gods. You are also observable and tangible, and have a physical form. You do not require sustenance and are entirely immortal.

You will create. And for each unique and/or new thing you do, you will gain titles and points, which will signify your place in the pantheon. You can only do three things per round. Each round will take 100 years in-game.

The succesfullness of your actions will be determined by a 10 sided dice I will roll. Higher the number is, more succesfull your deities actions are. There may be unintended consequences of your actions, so make your moves wisely.

You can do whatever you want. Create mountains, animals, lakes... Just don't destroy everything.

Games scope is limited to this single island and its surrounding waters, there is just an infinitely large and deep ocean over the horizon and everywhere else.

Name your character, describe them, and do things. You can join whenever you want.

I will be there too, as the elder goddess Kipp, the flying, collossal, fantail goldfish made out of orange clouds. All other deities are Kipp's direct children. I will simply fly above the island at all times, quietly observing. But I may take action if I am called, or if I want to add something of my own.

Begin.

[TricMagic]

Ōkeanós, The Deity of Water, The Glacier, They Whom Reside Beneath The World.(Insula Numine)
A peak of ice in the form of a mountain, water flowing through and around it.

Raise the Island into the Sky above, setting it to float eternally, taking my home beneath it's mass, within it's shadow. (Roll 3 dice)

[Magmacube_tr]

(Roll 3 dice)

I will be rolling the dice to ensure nobody cheats. Sorry. And I like your concept. Also you have two more actions you can use.

[A_Curious_Cat]

B*st, Deity of Protection, Night, and Cats.
A gray cat with purple stripes and golden eyes.

Create mortal creatures in my image to watch over and protect Insula Numine through the night.

Create the night if it hasn't already been created.

Curl up somewhere and take a nap.

[TricMagic]

I'm spending all three on it, if that's allowed? Maybe a plane of glaciers beneath it if I roll an 7-10 on the first or second.

[Glass]

(Interested, don't have time to post anything tonight. Will hopefully be able to do something tomorrow.)

[Magmacube_tr]

I'm spending all three on it, if that's allowed? Maybe a plane of glaciers beneath it if I roll an 7-10 on the first or second.

Oh, I get it. You are going to lift the island, set it afloat, and then make a home underneath it. That is three separate actions.

[Magmacube_tr]

1st turn

The first century on Insula Lumine have passed. The two children of Kipp, the cat-deity B*st and the water deity Ōkeanós have shaped the world around them. There isn't much to look at, but at least there is something else than saltwater and barren flat of bedrock.

Actions of Gods

1AC:Ōkeanós comes to life and lifts the world(7): Ōkeanós, the first child of Kipp get birthed out of the infinite water and Kipp's cold winds. .He looks at the land and with his still young and childish mind. sees it as a challenge to himself. With his immense power and capability, Ōkeanós lifts Insula Lumine into the skies above. While doing this though, some of its pieces fall onto him, then onto the sea, creating countless islets surrounding him in the shadows.

3AC:Ōkeanós makes the world float(5):Focusing all of its thought onto the island for two entire years, Ōkeanós manages to keep it on the air with no support. The whole island is on the skies now, and will be for all eternity unless disturbed. Though the constant strain of gravity, the pieces of the world keep falling onto the sea and himself. İslets are very numerous now.

10AC:Ōkeanós builds his abode in the darkness of the world above(10): Ōkeanós, seemingly pleased with what it has accompolished, decides that the shadowy underneath of the world, where the islets are, is a good place to reside. He uses the rocks, islets and the surrounding water to sclupt a frigid, winter wonderland in complete darkness. He then sits in the middle and slumbers for the next few decades.

56AC:B*st comes to existance and makes the first night fall(9): B*st the second child of Kipp comes to life out of the darkness of the belowworld, and the power of Kipp herself. She is of the dark, so after the seeing the plain white skies, she creates makes everything dark. She creates golden stars like his eyes and purple hazes like his stripes.

60AC: B*st creates his kin(2): To fill the world with in his image, B*st creates the first mortal beings. They were cats, of course. She makes alot, alot of them.But on the completely barren landscape devoid of life except them, the cats starve. Their bones litter the landscape.

61AC: B*st sleeps(10): With the lonliness of the plain of flat rock becoming eerie again, B*st lays down, curls up and falls asleep. It is a deep and fulfilling nap with good dreams.

The World

The world is now spilt into two realms, the AboveWorld, and the BelowWorld. AboveWorld is barren, lifeless and is always in an eternal night.There are cat skeletons everywhere. And the BelowWorld is an also barren, cold wonderland filled with beatiful shapes made out of ice.

Both of the children are asleep, and Kipp awaits as usual.

OOC: How was it? You can act now. And any new player can join if they want to anytime.

[A_Curious_Cat]

B*st awakens and stretches.  She Then looks around and her jaw drops at the sight of her deceased children.

"Well...

Shit."

B*st buries the remains of her First Children.

She then creates prey animals so that her Children won't go hungry again.

She then recreates her Children anew.

[TricMagic]

Taking pity on the One born during Their sleep, Ōkeanós creates weather systems to take the water below, form into clouds, and rain onto the AboveWorld in cycles.

They then shape the AboveWorld's flat landscape to create freshwater seas, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. All water eventually seeps down to the BelowWorld, but more shall arrive, and excess flow off the sides. And so the living will have water to drink

Finally, from the lifegiving water flowering trees, flowers, and plants are created of many types for the living to eat, so they do not go hungry.

2nd Turn

The second century passes on Insula Numine. The gods have worked on their little world, making it more than it is.

Actions of Gods

114AC: B*st awakens and buries his dead creations(2): B*st wakes up from his sleep. He is instantly appalled by the situation. He curses and tries to bury the bodies. But more he tries, more he fails for some reason. Because there is no dirt, so he has been just scratching the ground and the bones. The bones are now pulverised into a thin sand. They just sit there in the dark, totally undisturbed for there is no wind yet.

115AC: B*st creates the first prey(2): B*st, seemingly wiser than before, creates mice so his creation won't starve. He releases swathes of them onto the still barren, lifeless land. They too starve and have their bones litter the landscape along with the cat-sand. B*st facepalms.

116AC: B*st recreates his kin(9): After all the failures, B*st decides that his kin should not require sustenance from nothing but his essence, which is darkness. He creates cats made out of darkness, and this time, they survive. These shadow beings spread prolifically, without challenge. AboveWorld now seethes with them.

128AC: Ōkeanós brings about the first rain(3): Looking at the dry and desolate world above, Ōkeanós sees it just to bring something there that will shake things up. He moves large amounts of water vapour up onto the AboveWorld. The vapour quickly causes the first clouds to form, and the first rain falls. But without notthing to absorb it, all the water turns into a flood, with almost all of it quickly returning to the ocean, along with all of the mice skeletons and cat bone sand. Everything is swiped clean, and B*st is drenched and displeasured.

135AC: Ōkeanós creates all things freshwater(8 ): After the failure to bring water to the AboveWorld the first time, Ōkeanós decides that he should try again. He shapes the bedrock to his liking. A small but steep mountain with depressions, shallow valleys and canals surrounding it. He then places a single point on top of the mountain. He places a small crystal on top of the mountain. This crystal creates freshwater around itself. Water quickly flows down the cliffs as waterfalls off the mountain and fills the canals and depressions into rivers and lakes. The rivers form giant waterfalls when falling off of the AboveWorld. Though their effects are nullified by the non-existance of anything to absorb that water. So everything is still mostly dry as bones.

140AC: Ōkeanós creates plants(1): From an idea from the corner of his unknowable mind, Ōkeanós has the idea to create what he calls plants. They shall spread and paint the AboveWorld with green. He gets caught up with creating countless varieties of these things, from giant and tough ones to colorful and fragile ones. He disperses their seeds to watch them grow, only to realise that his creations simply can't grow on hard rock and darkness. Nothing manages to germinate.

The World

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The AboveWorld now has a form of life other than the gods. There are the shadow beings in the shape of cats. They feed off of the eternal night itself. There are also rivers, waterfalls, lakes and regular rainfall. It is also not so flat anymore. There is an unnamed, small mountain on the center of the world that spews freshwater from its top, which feeds the rivers. The cat-sand and mice skeletons were cleaned off when the first rain arrived. It is still night, for the day does not exists yet.

BelowWorld though, there was nothing new. The same cold, lifeless winter wonderland adored by geometric scluptures of clean, pristine ice in complete darkness.

Anyone can still join. Moar the merrier.

The second century passes on Insula Lumine.

Lumine???

Sure, i'll join in.
"It is inevitable that something left in a state of imbalance will want to return to equilibrium, the universe itself craves balance. Where there has been nothing but darkness and emptiness until now, i now exist to bring light and life to this world." or at least, that's what the White Stag, Velkos considers the reason for his sudden existence.

The great white stag, in his appearance is anything but simple. His antlers seem like they've been combined together from those of elk, moose and other deers. They carry a small orb of light between them. A lush, voluminous mane runs from his temple down to his shoulders and around them, down to his chest, as well as forming a train, ribbons of white hairs that flow and sway gently over his back, even without any wind. His face is an equally indescribable mixture just like his antlers, but the features of moose are highly prominent, and he has a tuft long fur under his chin, like a beard. His tail resembles more the one of a lion, than the one of a deer. And he's hardly completely white, his fur being more of a very very pale blue.
And should he need to travel, he does so by air, growing a pair of large, feathered wings whenever he needs them.
Velkos is associated with Light, Nature and Wisdom.

"The prior failures of my siblings have demonstrated, that nothing natural can survive in this eternal darkness, and yet i fear that neither would they survive eternal light. A balance must be struck. Thus, i will start the cycle, the eternal dance of light and darkness; day and night. I shall create a great body in the sky to cast that light, the sun... "Sol", he shall rule the sky for a time until he becomes tired and retreats to rest, then his sister, the moon "Lua", who i too shall create will take his place, and bring with her the night, staying in the sky until she too grows tired, and then his brother Sol will return once more, bringing the day yet again."

"This world is barren and nothing could grow in this solid, impenetrable rock. I will, with a single stomp of my hooves, shall grind the surface of this place to dust, and plant within it both countless seeds, and things to sustain them. Should i not succeed in my efforts to drive away the eternal night, and provide plants with the light they need, they shall make their own light, or will not need it. The more plants, or fungi, the better."

"Wisdom needs knowledge, knowledge needs perception. I can not see everything at once, thus i will need little watchers, and what better place to watch the world from, than from above? I shall make small, winged creatures that will soar the skies and look upon this land with keen eyes and sharp minds, their form a reflection of my own wisdom."
So, why'd i write all that?
I dunno, i kinda got on a roll and just kept going. Hopefully that's OK

Wow, bootyfull. It is okay to just write like this and have convoluted actions. But it comes at a cost. More complex an action is, more places it can have adverse effects on other things.
