[h3][color=9e0039]There are too many gods, honestly, it wouldn't be bad if we lost a few.[/color][/h3]

The old world, home to gods and men alike, has been destroyed by an unknown outsider. All men were killed, and half of the world's gods were culled by the brutal massacre. Those that remained remained on the old world, attempting to salvage the horrific mess that was once their home, unfortunately, some scars cut too deep to be healed, and the gods were forced to leave the world, spreading across the galaxy.

[h3][color=9e0039]What do you mean I have to fix this? It's not my fault.[/color][/h3]

One god however, decided to take it upon herself to fix the mess that had become their home, summoning a new generation of man and making himself tools to forge a new planet.

Unfortunately, this god was Dilm, King/Queen of the Tricksters.

[h3][color=9e0039]What do you mean I can't do it myself? Look at that beautiful river I made you! Yes it's poisonous, but you'll get over it.[/color][/h3]

The horrific mess that was her planet was more dangerous than even the old world, with both the men and the other species he created suffering horribly. When the men failed to worship her due to the fact that the majority had died and the rest were struggling to stay alive, Dilm finally gave in, calling out into the stars to find any other surviving gods able and willing to recreate their home. It would be a challenge to be certain.

[color=9e0039][h3]Hey jerks! It's me, the best god to ever exist! Now, I know what you're thinking, where's my goat? She died, sadly, but now she's back! Bet you're wondering how that happened. Well, I snapped like this a bunch, spat some sick miracles and here we are, new planet. Aren't I the best? Now... it may be a little... me... so if that's not your thing then do something about it. Don't make me roll up my sleeves over here. But seriously, I recreated manfolk and they're all dying. Hee. So, if you're into that sick disgusting mess of bones and meat, you'd better come over here stat, because I think I'm the only god left who can do that... wait, how did I do that? Huh, sometimes I confuse myself. Does that mean I'm really good or that I suck? The answer is seven, by the way.[/h3][/color]

Oh boy oh boy I'm very pleased with how this turned out.

So if that caught your attention, this is, as the title says, a world-building RP, and we will play a pantheon of gods. I have a basic idea of how this is going to work, but if you have any better ideas, don't be afraid to share them.

My idea is that the whole shebang will be based on a power system, with gods given favor based on their actions and their worshiper count, and you will be able to use that favor to perform miracles that change the course of the Trickster's New Earth. Speaking of the Trickster, he/she/it doesn't exactly sit still, his/her/zir actions do not require favor, but are entirely random (I will be using a dice roller to decide their actions). At first we will mainly be trying to fix the Earth, but afterwards we can move onto our own agendas, probably conflicting with each-other.

Yes you can create your own races, as long as you have the favor for it, this is my idea of the favor levels using modern comparison sizes.

Favor 1: Minuscule miracles, affecting an area around 10 000 square meters, of course we need not be that precise.
Favor 2: Very small miracles, affecting perhaps an area around the size of a small town.
Favor 3: Small miracles, affecting perhaps an area around the size of a medium-sized town
Favor 4: Moderate miracles, affecting an area around the size of a city.
Favor 5: Medium miracles, affecting an area around the size of a metropolis.
Favor 6: Medium-Large miracles, affecting an area around the size of a county, creating a race would be around this area.
Favor 7: Large miracles, affecting an area the size of a state.
Favor 8: Very large miracles, affecting an area the size of a country.
Favor 9: Massive miracles, affecting an area the size of a continent.
Favor 10: Planetary miracles, affecting the entire planet.

Of course, you would have to perform miracles associated with your god, I don't want to see no water gods blowing up volcanoes.

How a god would earn favor is a question I'm still pondering, but I wanted to get this out there to see who was interested. I'll answer any questions had.
