An empty and desolate place...
Devoid of light and life...
But not for long...
For from the nothing...
The Spark of the Divine may rise...
For these are the tales...
of GODHOOD
Godhood: A Light in the Darkness(Apps Closed) E89cafaa5490398167606a62064935d8


Welcome to Godhood, a game of phenomenal cosmic power. You play one of the Gods, creating and shaping a new universe. Using the reality altering power of acts, you will shape the world to your whim. Creating fantastical planets, magnificent beasts, and helping to shape civilizations. You will not be alone in this task, however, other players holding the same incredible power as you will be attempting to shape the world to fit their own purposes, even as you do.

The conflict that arises between gods with differing ideologies is a major theme of the game. Will you be able to settle these differences peacefully? Or will your attempts to one up your rival cause calamity on the mortal plane? Half the fun of the game is finding out.

A core component of this game is the management of your one and only resource. Acts, a representation of your godly power, are used to do nearly everything in this game. You gain more acts every turned based on how many people worship you. As well as how many things in the universe are within your “Spheres of Influence.” These spheres do not represent how much territory you own, but rather what concepts fall most closely in line with your god. For instance. A god with the sphere of war will gain power from major conflicts in the universe. While a god of art will benefit from societies that patronizes the arts.

EDIT: Applications are now closed.


Mechanics
This game of Godhood will have some slightly different mechanics. Primarily, when it comes to Spheres. A God is supreme within their Spheres. Thus, actions associated with one of their spheres costs one less act to perform. Acts will be awarded per turn thusly: 1 act for each sphere that is represented anywhere in the universe, 2 acts if your Sphere is common in the universe, and 3 acts if the sphere is prolific. Mortal worship will award Acts as appropriate. The Powers of Creation will sustain the Gods for 5 turns, starting with 5 acts, with one less each turn. In this game, gods cannot share spheres. If you're reduced to 0 Act Gain for 3 turns, your God ceases to exist, as Reality can no longer sustain them.

Name: Xythis

Color: A lovely shade of olive.

Appearance: Xythis takes the form of a mixed flock of birds that moves like a starling flock. Avian species native to his current universe are preferred but if such things are not available he'll use ravens, crow, and similar carrion feeders.

Spheres: Falsehoods(Secrets, Illusion, Deception), Verity (Truth in all its forms), and Flying Creatures(He is, by his nature, a patron of the skies)

Bio: Xythis was born on a wartorn world long ago. He was a flock of birds that followed the armies and picked the bodies clean after the battle was won, or lost, before continuing on. One fine day one of his flock alighted upon a particular body of great importance, someone with a touch of the divine. They pecked out the eyes and Saw, but did not Understand. They tore at the ears and Heard, but did not Listen. They pulled out the tongue and Spoke, but did not Say anything. Finally, they pecked at the cracks in the skull and then Knew. Understanding followed. The flock was remade. Xythis born.

Name: C'thon

Color: Red

Appearance: C'thon has the appearance of a great beast of many limbs, armored legs come down from a carapace which writhes with tentacles, crushing claws lash into the air and mutagenic drool runs from the mandibles in a steady tide.

Spheres: Water, Death, Mutation.

Bio: A being come from the unknown depths of the multiverse. It is said that mutation and death run in its wake. C'Thon favors the watery depths beneath which light cannot pierce and where the dead of the sea eventually descend to. In those depths all manner of creatures of this world, not of this world and a horrible mixture of them make their home.

Name: Coeus

Color: Black as Ink

Appearance: A hooded figure carrying a scroll and quill. The form beneath is unclear, and irrelevant.

Spheres: Knowledge (Intelect, wisdom, cunning), Wonders, and Order

Bio: Coeus is the Recorder of All that Is. A deity exiled from his old world by foolish younger gods, he refused to return to the abyss he had been molded from. And so he ascended here, where the seeds of creation lay. Perhaps this time they'd get it right.

Note: If a Life god is needed, I'll swap Order for Life. NBD.

Name: Endring , The Deep.

Color: Deep Blue

Appearance: Endring, if will appears in several forms but prefers 2 over all when with humans. If he chooses to appear as human, he will appear as a 7 foot tall waterlogged man in an Ship captain long coat and fatigues, sea water is always dripping from him no matter the condition or environment he's in. If he chooses to take the form of something more monsters he'll take the form of a gargantuan sea eel the size of witch could crush ships. If another god perseveres him however, they will see the human form as described before but looks vaguely more alive and put together.

Spheres: Discovery - Desire - Conflict

Bio: Endring was once a mortal before he had ascended to godhood and he has the gods to thank for that specifically the one he had to take the life from. After this he had sailed the sea of stars and explore its edges and give life to those who would to the same before him.

Name: Lavernus

Color:Violet

Appearance: Lavernus takes the form of a noble, stern faced male figure of whatever species sees him. His eyes are always a piercing shade of amethyst.

Spheres: Civilization, Evolution/Progress, Specialization

Bio: Lavernus is something of an oddity amongst the gods of his spheres. Never quite finding the right creation as of yet, he's decided to find a brand new one to start afresh. He prefers to take a close eye at times and a wide broad aspect at others. He enjoys manifesting amongst particularly favored cultures and spending time amongst them

Name: Verdant

Color: Dark Green

Appearance: Verdant appears as many things. He has been known to appear as a large, hulking humanoid made of swamp mud and roots, an ambulatory swarm of insects, a humanoid with insect-like or bestial features, or a man with a long beard and deep green robes, smelling of wet earth.

Spheres: The Wild (wild places in the world and extreme locations,) Life, and Community/Cooperation (whichever sounds better).

Bio: Verdant, despite being one of the most inhuman gods, is also the most human - he feels love for his children, the beasts of the wild and the insects that swarm around the world. He feels love for the sapient races, and their cultures and hearths. And he feels the majesty of his art - the hidden places in the world, the majestic vistas of the desert, the swamplands and marshes, hidden coves in tiny islands and ice-caves within glaciers. All that is the Wild is his canvas, and the roots of the world are his own.
