Okay so the last two version of godhood crashed and burned but this one will be different. :D
here is a set of rules with some changes,
Godhood is a freeform game where you ascend to godhood and create an entire universe from the blank void. Think Lords of Creation, but with much less rules and thus much more creativity allowed. It has been stolen from another forum, which I will not name so no copying takes place, "But it was like this in the other thread!"
This is a game about creation, and then the conflict that will arise when someone makes conflicting beings.
Rules:
Acts are your resources and power. Every god is granted two acts per turn, and more depending on your spheres (IE. God of war gets more while a large war is going on, etc.) You can use them to do anything, but the more powerful the thing, the more acts it will take.
In general, you can either A) Just post your act and at the end of the turn have me subtract how many acts I think it should take, meaning it may not be as powerful as you had hoped, or if I'm feeling generous, taking you into a negative number of acts. However if I think an act is beyond your current act count I will tell you in the thread and it will be up to you to change it before I end the turn.(note: if you go into a negative number of acts you must wait until you have at least 2 acts before posting again, as you need to recuperate your power(noteception: this doesn't stop someone who hasn't been negative using an act when they only have one act.))
The turns will last about 5 days (OOC) each, longer if a lot happens and shorter if nothing happens. Posting once every couple days would be a minimum, more if you like to roleplay/chat with other gods. Breaks are of course allowed if I am warned or its only a couple days. You can create anything with your acts, but please theme it towards your spheres at least a little bit.
If you do not post during your turn then your acts will be saved automatically, up to a maximum of six acts, at which point you will not gain any more acts.
Please DO NOT try to find the previous thread for this off-site.
Thats all the rules. If anything else comes up, we can deal with it then.
I'd like this to be story and character driven as much as possible.
Character creation sheet:
Name: The name of your deity, not a real deity make one up. :)
Description: The basic description of your god, whether they are male of female, how they look how they talk, be as creative as you like.
Spheres of power: This one is a little different, use it to describe what your god has control over, one or two words should suffice.
Example round:
God 1: creates huge rock floating in space -2 acts
God 2: creates a large star and makes the rock start to orbit it -3 acts (note: God 2 would now have negative acts and would have to wait until he had at least two again before posting an action.
God 3: creates storms which blow across the surface of the planet, creating oceans and rivers -2 acts
God 4: sets off a spark of life allowing small plants to bloom and breathing life into even smaller creatures -2 acts
Anyway that is the main set of rules, and they'll probably change as we play depending on the playstyle of you guys, so if your interested just post a character sheet and I'll try to add you in.
List of gods
Orion
The god of the cosmos. Often appears as a shapeless, white speckled cloud of black. Very chaotic and random behavior, and often difficult to find his true intentions.

Saarian
God of fire and passion (not necessarily carnal passion, passion for music or war also applies). He usually appears as a column of dancing flame, but when he does incarnate he appears as a tall, slender, tan male humanoid with firey red hair and completely black eyes that seem to glow with extreme feeling. He is a fickle god, and supports any really strong feeling and dedication. He might well support both sides of a conflict, just because both sides are really dedicated to it. He hates anything that constricts anyone from following their strongest desires.
is empowered by fire and passion (really strong feeling, desire and dedication to/for something).
Played by Elensaar
Asceon (gone Temp)
He is the god of wildlife and hunting. Loves all the animals that populate the Earth, but also enjoys some sport in hunting them down, he never kills the animals he hunts though. He lives above the clouds to observe his animals and has a huge private forest for him to dwell in. He carries a huge wood and stone spear and a large hunting bow, with unlimited arrows. His motto is 'Always the hunter, never the prey'. A fox is always by his side to help him hunt.
He dislikes when animals or humans are deprived from their freedom.
as a true spirit of the wild he is at one with Animals and hunting (He can hunt YOU down, or send animals after you).
The Wanderer
The Wanderer is the patron diety for those who live a nomadic lifestyle. Staying in one place for more than 2 weeks is forbidden by The Wanderer, whilst staying in one place for less then 12 hours is rewarded by not having to eat for a week.Having crossed the void between universes, Fido was warped. A lot. So much that he had little memory of what once was, that he stood for different things, that he felt the urge to keep moving. He looked out, saw the other gods, and had a flashback to the Charleston Temple. He closed his eyes, shook his head, and said,"Anyone know a cheap motel nearby?"
As he is always dashing about The Wanderer gains his power from Motion, pursuit, happiness.

Sera
Sera is the god of fertility and being. Although his default gender identity is male, he is actually hermaphroditic and appears attractive to all those who view him. He often appears in the form of small, proliferate animals, such as rabbits or rats, often white. He also sometimes appears in the form of sentient water, being the requirement of all life, in various shapes.
Spheres of power: Fertility, being (life)
Played by Zerix
Thanatos
The god of Ice and Water. His intentions are usually unknown and can rarely be figuered out as he floats accross the ocean laying on the back of his dear friend, Isedel, the IceWhale. He is a pretty lazy god but when something needs to get done he does it quickly and efficiently to be able to get back to his snoozing.
Spheres of power: Ice and Water are his domains of control.

Anyone else wishing to join may do so by just posting a character sheet, There's no player limit as of yet but if it gets to hectic then I'll probably impose one.
