	[indent][indent]A mortal realm has formed in the wake of the Primordials' birth. Time began his slow march around the world, and placed his eye in the void. This became the sun and it's gaze ever circles the world. Time chases his eye forever, his cold blue palm outstretched, reaching for his eye. This is the moon and will never catch the sun. 
	Life and Death became lovers. Life filled the world with all manner of creatures, man being the most impressive. Death became jealous and began his work. This was how Life and Death parted ways, each retiring to their own realms to continue their work.
	Chaos observed all of these events in great boredom. Eventually he fell asleep and from his dreams sprang the first divine beings. The first Gods were born...[/indent][/indent]

[center][h3]Welcome![/h3][/center]

[indent][indent]This is a role play about gods and creation, and the drama that is inevitable between all powerful beings. The stage has been set with the creation of the mortal realm, and each Primordial occupied with their eternal tasks. This game is intended to be a fun sand-box sort of thing with any number of players joining. Give the guidelines a quick read, fill out the Application, submit in the OOC tab and wait for acceptance. Feel free to PM me with any questions or criticism! -[@Polybius] [/indent][/indent]

[center][Hider=Guidelines]
I. Your god must have a clear 'Domain' This is the source and relevance of your power and a clever player might use this too great effect.

II. Over time, your domain can change/altered and added too. You must be clever in how you adjust your domain. For instance, the god of Oceans might to decide to include Trade or Storms in his domain. How does this happen? Write an IC about this transition!  

III. Your god must have AMBITION and CHARACTER. This is key in the dramatic narrative. Is your god evil? Benign? Disgustingly pure and good? Make sure you give the other players a strong sense of what drives your character and stick to that characterization. Gods are not infallible and can change over time.  

IV. Time will progress in this game. We begin in the ancient era. There are no great civilizations yet. An IC post by me (or potential co-GMs) will move the timeline ahead. Eventually this world will end. Maybe a new one will begin.

V. Please don't be a dick. Don't control other players creations or characters without express permission communicated in the OOC tab. This game is about writing an interesting narrative and hopefully creating a world, not winning!

VI. You may create anything as a divine being as long as it falls (somewhat) under your domain. (Certain exceptions apply, see the Assumptions hider below) 

VII. This game might require a co-GM and cartographer. If interested PM me![/hider]

[hider=Assumptions]
1. Mortal creatures including humans already exist, but there are no great civilizations just yet. 
2. Gods are immortal, but may be killed. 
3. The Primordials are busy. Don't bother them, especially Time and Chaos :)
4.  In the ancient Era, players may create a good sized chunk of the world including: mortal races, monsters, cities, kingdoms etc. We have a stage, we just need some actors. 
5. You MUST ask/talk about your creations in the OOC before your IC post. This is a little insurance for me and other players. 
6. Keep track of your creations in your Character Profile under the CHAR tab. Update frequently. 
7. Once accepted, you may create any number of gods with the following requirements: You must have 3+ posts IC from your original god. The new god must also be accepted by the GM.

[hider=Application]
Deity Name: (A single official name, what the other gods might call your character. You can include epithets that mortals might use)
Domain: (Keep it general, and simple. Think carefully about this because it is the limit of your power)
Appearance: (You may use a portrait. I prefer art or images of ancient depictions. )

Realm: (Your residence in the immortal world. Give a brief description and a name. You can add to this over time if you wish)
Personality:( How does your god act? What are his flaws? Weaknesses? Ideals? Write as much as you want)
Other: (Include any extra info you think other players should know about your god.)
