Bio
Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!
I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

This is definitely advanced level, but I still feel high casual means more people. Your call ultimately, but it's probably fine either way

I'd like a repeat of what happened in this RP, with Fate and Invictus making a big bang and each god contributing some of their unique magic to influence what comes out.
Like, in my WIP sheet I premptively aaid that Zephyrion created all change when he poured his energy into the universe's creation. (Kho, I assume that's fine?) Similarly, maybe a sun god could create literally all all the stars by manipulating the world's seed in a way that allows the physics for stars to form after our Bg Bang. Just a thought.

I thought Tyr was an actual Norse god?
The Norse Gods were the Germanic as well. Saxons, Danes, Swedes, even Britons worshiped more or less the same gods just with different pronunciations. The Slavic and Baltic gods weren't that different either; they have common themes like Thor. For whatever reason they all had to have some variant of Thor.
@Cyclone It sounds a bit complex, not entirely sure how it would function so as to allow life (if it the magic orb?), but I think it will make more sense when it is created
I will have to think out how Vowzra would interact with it - he might even find its very existence dangerous and seek to destroy it completely - yes, I can see it now, a people whose singular purpose is to destroy the holy site binding this unnatural planet together :O
MAAAAAAAAAAAGIC
I forgot to mention that the continents wander around but periodically align with one central, harsh, and unforgiving landmass that hosts the holy site, and at that point all the nations simultaneously invade in search of the orbs of power or whatever.
Your cult should participate in the bloodbath by collecting said orbs. Only they then try to use said orbs to destroy the very holy site that makes the orbs.
@Kangutso
Here goes some that popped into my mind. Maybe one will ring well or they'll collectively give you inspiration or something.
I'll attempt to capture your description in a name by listing a few that I think bring to mind something powerful, but not necessarily evil.
Armok (props if you know where this is from)
Yaka
Marmaros
Harban
Dromar
My love for mythology lends me to suggest Tiw, or some derivation of that name (Tyr, Tiwaz, Tue) as well. He was one-handed the Germanic god of war and honor, and Tuesday is named after him.
I'm not sure what sort of theme that you were going for, but I thought of a few oriental-sounding names as well that might work.
Fu
Jin
Kai
A few others came to mind, but they might be too...fantastical? Grandiose?
Dal'Rend
Remonis
Yokuda
Any of those sound good?

And yes, there seems to be a push for developing more than one planet in this coming iteration, so it may be better to develop different species on different planets before the great collision. But again, it's all IC and player preference xD anything beyond Game Mechanics is out of my scope of GM powers
Edit: ninja'd
What are thoughts on that matter, everyone?
I think it's best to let this develop organically.
I suppose I'll take this opportunity to share a bit about the two planets I was planning to have Zephyrion make. For one of them, I actually don't intend for it to directly interact with the rest of the RP much. It would be something of a living hell though, so it's not like anybody is missing paradise.
The other one will be much nicer, at least at first. It will be his second attempt, and much closer to perfection. Naturally, I'll share this one.
I have the vague plan that something will happen to nicer planet (probably the easiest thing would be Vestec just deciding to corrupt/destroy it so as to troll his buddy in the wind god) and then Zephyrion will more or less give up on it. Then he'll go back to his first planet, help bring about a sentient race that can thrive in its terrible environment, and then guard it zealously from the other gods so that they don't ruin it.
For the nice damaged world that Zephyrion is willing to share, my idea was that it would be so screwed up that entropic forces are literally in the constant process of destroying it. The various "continents" would just be giant landmasses flying through an empty void of nothingness, literally floating islands. In the center would be a holy site that Zephyrion makes (or somebody else, or Zephyrion with the help of somebody else; it doesn't matter that much) that emanates some sort of orbs, or energy, or something like that. There isn't enough of the magical stuff for everyone. So all the nations/races/people on the different continents would be engaged in perpetual warfare as they try to claim that energy for themselves so that their entire continent isn't destroyed.
Basically it would be a great arena for the gods' minions to kill each other, for centuries on end, with their very existence hinging on victory being a pretty good motivator.
Anybody find that idea interesting?
((WIP))
From the moment that the world was born and the First Gale billowed into existence, he decided for himself one great purpose (or perhaps it had been imbibed into his very creation; it matters not) : he would endlessly oppose all stagnation. The universe would ever be in motion, undergoing change, blown forward by the winds of time rather than steadfastly sinking into the depths of emptiness. Zephyrion proclaimed it so, and so it shall be. This force of change that Zephyrion contributed to the world's seed acts autonomously, but he can still wield those primordial powers that he helped create, and bend them to carry out his will.
The air with its wind and storms is change manifested physically, and as such it obeys Zephyrion's will before that of any other. As a result, lightning and storms in particular are some of the god's favorite tools and weapons. They are violent, sudden, unstoppable, unpredictable...all things that a divine should wield. Everything from blessing the driest deserts with rain and life to eroding the greatest mountains to dust fall under the realm of his domain. Change is a broad, ceaseless, and unpredictable thing, and so Zephyrion's powers are not so limited and he can work his will in a variety of ways. Just as the Storm's King can end a mortal's existence by revoking its very right to breathe, so too can the mightiest of raging infernos be brought to heed. Fire itself is a slave to the air that it must consume, and it is only another form of raw change. As such, Zephyrion's domain lends him some degree of control over even things such as fire, warmth, and cold.
Such a distinction is meaningless and cannot describe a being like Zephyrion, whose nature is akin to the eddies and gales that the god controls. The wind is tumultuous, wild, and chaotic. At times it can bring rain that nourishes and heals, but at other times it is the dauntless force that uproots mountains and scatters them like pebbles upon the wind. It is strong, wild, and uncontrollable. Some might make of it a motherly and nurturing force, but for most, it is a crueler thing and more fit to describe as masculine.
Any description of him personality is a mere generalization; his attitudes, beliefs, and opinions are ever changing. In his bipolar nature many things that he might say or do are contradictory, and one might call him a hypocrite, but consistency in his own views and actions has never been a concern for the Embodiment of Change.
Like the air that is his lifeblood and very image, he shifts quickly and violently in temperament. At times he is aloof and at other times he is an inescapable and suffocating, meddlesome force. He is the breeze that is warm and gentle to those than earn his respect or friendship, and violent and frigid tempest to those that earn his ire. In general, he is prone to sudden and drastic changes in mood, though he is not all that unpredictable if you only stop to examine his patterns and thought process.
Like the sky he lords above all other things, looking down upon them from some throne of hubris atop the clouds. Also like the sky he is hollow; while he inflates himself to a tremendous size and soars at great heights, inside there is a emptiness, loneliness, and doubt; though any inferiority complex that he has would surely be masked to the most discerning of eyes by that thunderous and arrogant voice that he projects. In his dealings with beings of lesser stature, he is notoriously arbitrary.
More than anything else that stands out is his hot temper and willingness to fight over the most minor of perceived slights. Still, he is the vitriolic type that hold grudges forever. Thanks to the distraction of his ceaseless mood swings he will often move on sooner than most, forgiving and forgetting most minor quarrels.
As the force of Change made living, Zephyrion shifts his image on a whim, existing in a flux not unlike the sky. He has hundreds if not thousands of different forms, yet even he has a few favorites.
Often he appears as a colossal humanoid being composed of clouds and whirled winds, or as a phoenix of pure lightning that glows brighter than the sun. At other times he can simply dissipate into a great cloud of incorporeal air, or an unstoppable gale of wind.
In his purest form, Zephyrion is a living storm--a cyclone of unimaginable size and fury; the only recognizable feature would be his eyes, two great orbs of writhing, cackling lightning bolts that snake and dance around one another. Naturally, the very presence of a storm wielding such unadulterated power could erode entire planets and destroy civilizations in mere moments, so the First Gale takes on a more suitable form when he sees fit to interact with mortals in person.

To Zephyrion, life is somewhat meaningless. The purpose imbued into his creation was that he would ensure Change would blossom in the nascent world, for nothing could ever be without such a fundamental force. Naturally, in all his brilliance Zephyrion managed to imbue the raw power of change into the universe's seed, thus creating a force that would persist eternally and function autonomously.
In other words, his role has already been fulfilled.
This has led to him wondering what exactly to make of his ongoing existence. Rather than sinking into some sort of deep depression or apathetic slumber, the prideful god quickly decided that as a supreme being, he can make whatever he wants out of life and his own existence. He is Change; if something perturbs him, even if it be so fundamental as his purpose in life, he will change it. All things bend at the command of the personifcation of Change.
In any case, Zephyrion has decided that for the foreseeable future he will spend his time amusing himself by whimsically creating and altering the world in any way that he sees fit. Perhaps he will eventually grow bored of that and change his outlook, but he's probably got a few trillion years worth of potential entertainment before that day comes. Naturally, as the one who contributed the most important aspect to the world's seed, Zephyrion demands respect from both his fellow gods and mortals alike. He will not suffer their insolent petulance; to insult him is to risk your life.
Despite his lack of modesty (what need is there to be humble, when you are the greatest being?) he is not malevolent, and actually falls prey to his own loneliness at times. To most other gods he is at least tolerant if not gregarious. To mortals, his attitude varies; they are but toys in the grand scheme of things, but still, doesn't one love their favorite toys? If approached in the right way he can be befriended, though admittedly his bipolar temperament is probably offputting to most.

You don't have to if you don't want. Remember the rule,
Your character can disobey the Dungeon Keeper's orders and try to do whatever he or she wants during a mission. Of course, the Dungeon Keeper/ more loyal champions may try to stop you, and blatantly disregarding his orders will almost always lead to a consequence of some sort, like a demotion, scolding, or 'fun' little trip to the prison/torture pit.
