A scantron exam, but the answer is always C. Just C. Always C. Not a single A, B, D, or E. All answers are C. The statistical improbability is diabolical!

It was done, the creature had obeyed.
Now, the first steps towards domestication.
Soon they shall learn of how to rule over other things.
And they will find it most pleasing.

His attention returned to Faenos, who had detected the lord of lordship and hid from the lord god among the trees.
"This creature, Spawn of Finnos, for what reason does it crawl and conceal itself before Synn, God of Control. Dare it mock Synn in hidden prostration? Reveal yourself, Faenos, Spawn of Finnos, and let Synn admire your rightful submission. And then rise, as by instilling a part of himself, Brother Finnos, God of Animals, has bestowed upon you a portion of his divinity, Synn will accept your status as the first of the demigod and merely require you to genuflect before Synn as recognition of your position above the other creations of Finnos."
And so, Faenos would know who it was that she faced, a god who had ironically recognized her partial divinity and in lieu of requiring her to bow until her breath brushed upon the earth, allowed her only to kneel before him. They were far from equal after all, and Synn had no intention of letting such a creature able to deny him as he did for Humans. That gift was for those creatures, and those creatures only.
"Brother Finnos, God of Animals, has made a most interesting creation, far superior in beauty and grace beyond his greatest. And he had given unto it a portion of his power, a part of his control over his domain, for the purpose of assisting him in creation. Yet, does it question its creator and purpose? While Finnos has made other creatures in pairs and multitudes, this creature set before Synn is alone, unique and without equal. It obeys him and fulfills the purpose assigned to it, creating other creatures in his stead.
Yet for it is a singularity, is it truly his most cherished creation? Or is it little more than a living tool Finnos had made to serve his own ends. From the power given to it, it is able to create itself a counterpart and yet it has not. Perhaps it was not commanded by Finnos to make more of its kin, or perhaps it fears the wrath of straying from its created purpose, to which he has created a perfect tool.
Speak now creature, let Synn know of your capabilities such that Synn may see if you are worthy of being more than a mere tool. Create, if you can, a creature for Synn, from the form of Humans, take one and endow it with the features of the second creature, now known as 'Alpha.' Let such a creature also be able to take the guise of either of its brethren, and may it be as man and creature. Do this to discover your limits Faenos, spawn of Finnos."
It would be difficult to resist the God of Command's words. Even without having to weave a proper edict or mandate, the weight of Synn words would bear heavily upon the mind. Even now as Ybris, God of Life sought out Synn for greater powers, the prophetic utterances which were made spoke of progeny and descendants...
[center][b]Synn, God of Control[/b][/center]

[hider=Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair.]
[img=http://th08.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/253/0/6/06bfc7608aede02a2d036f5345a6cc14-d7ynbjd.jpg]
[/hider]
[b]Abilities:[/b]
The God of Control is a unique god amongst the other abstractions. While the other abstracts have their respective domains to influence, his presides over command itself. Such are the powers of one who commands the commandments themselves. His powers are often duplicitous in their aspects, representing the two sides of his sphere of influence, as Control requires both a master and a servant.
[center][i]The Puppet’s Strings, Aspect of Fate and Will[/i][/center]
Synn reaches into the fabric of reality to weave strings of fate as he pleases. Once woven, the edicts of destiny are nigh inescapable, as Synn binds reality to a divine decree and anything caught within the mandate of fate become puppets towards the fulfillment of the prophecy. While direct divine intervention may work to counter fate, by leaving his will upon reality, reality will continuously attempt to fulfill the woven fabric. Thus unless Synn reaches into the fabric of reality to cut strings of fate and revoke the decree, reality will begin to warp itself to relieve the strain of the strings binding it like an overstitched cloth twisting. This reality warping causes dangerous effects of creating nonexistent anomalies: eldritch abominations which attempts to annihilate that which causes the strain and project themselves into existence as grotesque masses of indescribable terrors of beyond understanding. The anomalies serve as a failsafe mechanism of reality, and are quite irksome to the gods as they are unaffected by divine powers. By the same ability, Synn may release portions of reality from fate by tearing at the fabric, though this will sever the affected from reality and thus are no longer bound to the powers of the gods be it their curses or blessings.
[center][i]The Void of Lunacy, Aspect of Restraint and Desire[/i][/center]
Synn’s presence may drive lesser beings into madness. Those under the influence of his influence may find themselves subjected to their own desires. They may lose control over their own minds as desires take them to the point of losing all other purpose but to sate their uncontrolled desire. Those of which who have fallen into their vice become primal vestiges of their former selves submitting to fanaticism towards their idols. Some fall to beauty, pride and the arts, some to greed, luxury, and envy, others to lust, carnality and pleasure, while others yet fall to conflict, carnage and suffering, some to indulgence, devouring and decadence, others still to knowledge, secrets and immortality or those who seek rest, torpor and inactivity. Other side of madness occurs when Synn instills control over such beings to which they may become agents of stoicism. These zealots become obsessed with self-control and controlling others to become as they are unlike their aforementioned counterparts. The zealots forgo all desires but control itself.
[center][i]The Celestial Conduit, Aspect of Subjugation and Freedom[/i][/center]
Synn’s control is absolute. While other divinities retain their spheres of influence, these spheres are not exclusive with respect to Synn. He may exert his dominion over control itself to glean from other gods their abilities. This ability require contact with the divinity to be affected, although does not require either party to remain in contact after the initial contact. Any powers or abilities gained are temporary and are often of lesser magnitude to their original possessor who retains the very same ability. This ability allows him to mimic the other gods abilities for his own uses although at a much smaller scale. By the same token, Synn may also exert his powers to amplify the control of the other gods over their own dominions. This allows them to temporarily gain heightened influences into their spheres and empower their abilities to larger magnitudes or even generate novel abilities beyond their original scope. This aspect of the ability, unlike the other, requires the parties to remain in contact for the ability to function. Implementing the same ability on lesser beings will enslave them to Synn’s will, becoming an extension of him as he may control them as he pleases as an avatar at his whim, or alternatively, grant them lessor powers and abilities based on their nature. Use of this ability upon lessor beings does not require direct contact and the effects are permanent.
[center][i]The Pit of Pandemonium[/i][/center]
Synn’s own realm of existence, woven around the fringes of reality, it serves as an asylum for those afflicted by his abilities. Pandemonium is a described as a multi-planar sinkhole embedded into reality as each planar strata serves to imprison the vices while a central tower anchors the planes together. While each plane is unique and weaves itself to suit its inhabitants, outsiders and visitors may find Pandemonium both appealing and appalling. Synn often resides in the tower itself, if not a chosen avatar puppet.
[b]Personality & Personality Flaws:[/b]
Synn is a darker god, with more malevolent powers than benevolent ones. His agendas are his own, and often serve to keep the balance between the other divinities and keep them under control. To which one may question his interference in the affairs of the gods, and perhaps even his subservience to Balsis. Amongst the gods, he is known for his silver tongue and unnerving appearance. Despite this, he may be quite benevolent when a sudden whim overtakes his usual persona of the cold, calculating imperialist. This is due to the fact that, like his powers, Synn also suffers from a duality in his persona. This is perhaps the one reason why Balsis had created the ironic paradox in afflicting the god of control with a dual personality. For what is more amusing than a god of control who cannot control his own dichotomy.
Plants and Animals...
By Tuesday we should have a completed God-Origin Story Line, that is the order in which the gods were created.
It really depends what sort of god you aim to create/play as.
Did you prefer destruction or creation, moral or amoral, abstract or material, fundamental or forger.
If you prefer destruction, amoral, material, and forger, perhaps the God of War.
If you prefer destruction, amoral, material, and fundamental, perhaps God of Winter/Cold/Ice.
If you prefer destruction, amoral, abstract, and forger, perhaps God of Torment/Pain
if you prefer destruction, amoral, abstract, and fundamental, perhaps God of the Dead/Undeath
Edit: I'll give the others a few goes before posting again. I think Ydris is seeking out Synn to bestow the ability to procreate, Synn is currently materialized upon the world, wherever Finnos' nymph/dryad is working, directly observing the creature working under the control of Finnos.
It is as Synn had envisioned it.
These humans, now filled with potency, would be the greatest creation of the gods.
With Freedom, they would have their own thoughts, their own actions and their own life.
With Control, they would have their own realm to forge and manipulate as they saw fit.
The Ald-Father made them kneel before him, but he could see humans would one day be as gods.
They would one day create worlds from creation, and become like their creators.
Then they, the gods, shall gaze upon their works and tremble.
The comings and goings of the gods busily creating their realm to befit their creation. While knowledge was the first gift to these new humans, following such knowledge was Synn's endowment. The first steps into society, taken slowly but surely, until they will create kingdoms of men and assemble themselves into ordered systems. The things set in motion had already began, as the reality made itself subject to the mandate, and they would need to forge no more for food. But all was in good time, for the advent of farming shall arrive within the change of the generations and seasons, and thus keep Synn's edict that Man shall be given reign over the greener living things. For farming was control over their food sources, where these creatures can survive outside of the fickle whims of creation. They will learn to manipulate the seeds of plants, and tend them to bear flowers and grow fruit. Even now as Finnos created his avatar, to give the other creatures Instinct, it had made insects which would make it possible. Indeed Synn had wielded Finnos' power as if his own, as even now he stood before another creature, one covered in fur and walked upon four legs as it found him as he strode past the realm and watched Faenos work.
The creature stared at the god, and the god stared back. It had eyes faced forward, like the face of Man, yet it was far more equipped to survive by the natural endowments Finnos had gave it. It had fur covered powerful flesh bound upon bone and body, superior olfactory and auditory sense, and upon four legs it could run. It was without fear or hesitation, did not flee or cower before divinity, nor kneel and bow before him when the others did. This creature would dare to remain standing before the God of Subjugation?
"For not prostrating itself in in the presence of Synn, Synn shall reward this creature. For no longer shall it be as others of its kin and brood, as this creature as dared to face a god. From this day forth, this creature shall be given the name 'Alpha' and shall be granted the right to control and preside over its kin and brood who shall follow it. And should it remain as it was in beginning of creation, able to repeat its actions and face a god, it will continue to have such right and may it spring forth progeny of equal tenacity such that they will also be given the title of its forefather.
For not prostrating itself in in the presence of Synn, Synn shall punish this creature. For its descendants will be the first to be enslaved by Humans, as Synn has bequeath all other creatures to Humans at the dawn of creation and beginning of time. From this day forth, the descendants of this creature shall be under the rule of Humans, and those which are under the dominion of Humans shall be given the name 'Dog' as a reminder of their ancestor who had faced a god. And they shall serve Humans as faithful subjects, subservient to their masters, and become their eternal companion.
Such shall it be, by will of Synn, God of Control."
Now from the first canids, Synn had made wolves as a reflection of the society he had envisioned for humans, and from these wolves he would had made dogs to serve them. With this, he had made the second contribution to shaping creation as dominance and dominion began to slowly emerge.

Well I think I'll go wait for Finnos' action before having Synn impart step 2 of his role in creation.
Humans: "So wait a minute, we put what in where?"
Finnos: "Erm... the act will be enjoyable?"
Humans: "Why in the world did you make the same things we expel our waste from how we make new humans?"
Finnos: "Erm... Childbirth will be painful?"
Humans: "Shit, we pissed off the gods."
Only a god would have the right mind to mind to decide to make a recreational area run alongside with a waste and sewage dump.

OOC: Where metagaming and jokes collide! It's like the God's Pizza Night.As far as I know, only man, woman and birds were created (along with Slatera's impure Bird).
“My gift is for all woman, either you and all that shall be born from you"
I believe The Goddess of Space already made pregnancy a thing.
"Wait, what did you just say? I'm going to have an entire human inside of me?"
Spoilers.
Also there are fish and other creatures too, you may have been reading a bit too fast to notice the creation of the fuzzy/furry things and fish which appeared n the sea.
Remember, a pregnant woman swimming is really a submarine.
Also, did Finnos make many animals or just a pair of those too?
My next Post will work with the other creatures of the world, just as he had given Man control over them.

Boring? Surely the God of Chaos can change that... The universe is still too young, and the fundaments have yet to begin. the Dream god has yet to introduce Sleep and by doing so Dreams.
