Eventually the void gained a sentience, and found that its existence was empty. After sentience it found that instead of nothing it was the fabric of everything. Using the fabric of itself it created a ball. With a thought the ball became solid and it floated, the void gazed upon its creation. The first time since awakening it was happy. Gazing upon its creation left it content, but the loneliness was still burning in its soul. Cutting off a quarter of its body, it crafted Ten beings. Each one was special. The void placed them on its orb, everyone was happy. The ten were happy, and the void was happy. Together, they created time. Measuring how long they existed. Soon the ten felt the orb was empty, they asked for the ability to craft things for themselves. The void cut a strip of its fabric and gave one to each of the beings. With the fabric the first two crafted great oceans that engulfed the orb, the waves endlessly crashing. Two more became envious of the creation they had made. They crafted large mountains under the water which erupted with fire and brimstone, continuously spurting lava, and land rose above the waves. This caused the other six to craft their own things. Two made the trees of the forests, two made the rivers that flowed through the lands. The last two looked to the void a feeling of duty caused them to craft delicate patterns into the fabric of the void, creating the stars so that the void knew it was loved in return. As time flowed everything was right there was no commotion, there was no fighting, or longing. They perfected their cycles, each being balancing the next one. The land claimed the ocean, the trees covered the land, the rivers split the forests, and the oceans slowly ate away at the old earth and returned it to the sea. The stars faintly illuminated the orb. The void looked on with awe at how its creations all lived together. After ages had passed, forest had died, the land had crumbled, the rivers dried, and the oceans receded. The ten grew tired of the endless cycle and they wished for light so they could gaze upon their creation while they also wanted beings of their own which could love them as they loved the void. The void was tired and had little strength, its fabric had slowly become less and less. It ripped itself in half curling it into another orb. Pushing as many of the glowing dots from its own fabric and onto this new orb it created its own star which lit its original creation. Again it split itself in half, giving the remainder of its sentience to its creations, its love showing no bounds, the void fell back and was only static. The fabric allowed each of their creations to craft their own nearly omnipotent beings. Each one created their own individual creations, trying to out do their brethren to impress the void. But only after they had finished did they notice that their creator was no longer present, they left their creations with one order and it was to coexist until they could return. After that they combined their strength to search what remains of the infinite void to find their creator. Here you take the role of of a god created by the ten, you create your denizens, you inhabit the lands that you inherited. Lead them to peace or gain glory through conquest. [hider=Living Gods] Onhiel-Ebir Song Zhu - Sang Guo Yngvi-Yngvar Aftrone-Atticun Prothos-Lemuria Adiel-Mandisa Nur-Harran Kelthis- Faeros Orugoru-Henrūda Bigher-Stio Clal [/hider] [hider=Godly hood] As a god you have the choice to directly interact with your people or to indirectly interact. By directly interacting, your people lose the ability to use magic but you can select ten heros ( only five can be active at any given time ) who posses well above average skills in combat or other areas of your choosing. These ten are strong against mages, but are mortal. These warriors can be gifted divine weapons, made of mythical substances. Indirect you gain the ability to bless your people with magical abilities you can have up to one thousand mages. Magic is passed generation to generation. ( nothing earth shattering simple elemental and spiritual, also the ability to enchant. ) With the ability to enchant weapons, armor, and other objects it can give an army a fighting edge. ( Keep it fair, so no super armies, or mage craft factories.) A god can die one of two ways, lose faith from their people, or die by the hand of another god. Gods gain strength from their followers, either through prayer, or sacrifice ( which could be from frogs, to wine really anything) As a god of your people you represent their desires, so choose something(s) your god represents (Wine, Frogs, whatever you feel like.) This is how you’ll play your character, stick close to what your god represent. (Frogs he could be slimy ((Like personality wise)) or if its wine he could be split personality sweet maybe bitter sometimes bipolar) You can not be a god of War, Death, Peace, or Hell ( any variant of the afterlife either.) [/hider] [hider=Minor and Major Gods] Gods can be minor and major, if a god is minor the smaller his population of believers, or the people he's created. generally runs from 1-50,000 while 50,000+ ( I’m capping population at 800,000.) The more followers the stronger the god is. When he’s down to one follower he’s on the verge of death. [/hider] [hider=Ilyuss] High above the lands there sits a place fit for the gods. Its called Ilyuss. Here when not interacting with your peoples you will reside. All gods are welcome minor or major. Diplomacy can be discussed or even battles can be fought. At the Start of the RP all of the gods will name a King of gods, The king will then name his four horsemen. “, Death(ferryman), Ruler of the afterworld ( afterlife ), War, and Peace.” These will be his direct advisor. The rest will fall under the king’s law. The king can make laws though they have to be voted on by advisors and can be vetoed by the subjegated. So at the start before your denizens are created, laws will be made and kings will be selected. Also you get to name the land!
