Summarily, this is a roleplay about gods who are shaping a new universe. Everyone begins as a Fledgeling Deity, and things just go from there. All is explained.

RULES & GUIDELINES
Ask the moderators for help if you have a question.
Remember, the actions described are flexible – Create Land could create an island or a gas giant, depending on the deity’s desire.
The point of this is to weave a story, not to “win”.
The obvious “no godmodding and no mary sues” is in place.
Try to talk over major actions with other players – working cohesively will enhance the storytelling.
Deities CAN sabotage the work of others, so don’t be surprised when it happens.
Players can roleplay a maximum of two deities.

CONCEPTS
Concepts are things you can be the God of. They are required to gain ranks, receive a higher income of Divinity, and thus perform more actions. Concepts shape the personality of the deity, as well. A god gains a discount on actions related to Concepts that they have already acquired. Each god starts with two Concepts, and to gain another, they must spend at least 8 points on things related to that concept. Before taking on a Concept, you must first talk to a moderator about it.

DIVINE RANKS
RANK --------------- MAX POINTS ----- POINTS PER WEEK ---- CONCEPTS
Fledgeling --------- 16 ----------------- 4 -------------- 2
Lesser ------------- 18 ----------------- 5 -------------- 4
Intermediate ------- 20 ----------------- 6 -------------- 6
Greater ------------ 22 ----------------- 8 -------------- 8
Highest ------------ 24 ----------------- 10 ------------- 10

DIVINITY POINTS
Divinity Points are points given to deities to regulate their major actions. They start off with their maximum points, regaining the stated points per week each week at Saturday 9:00 AM, EST. Their points may be spent on the actions detailed below.

Create Life (2 points)
-Create the basis of mortal life, such as humans, elves, or dwarves. There is no limit to their numbers.

Create Legendary Life (4 points)
-Create a legend, no longer limited by mortality. Dragons and angels are such examples.

Create Organization (2 points)
-Create any group of people, ranging from a small camp of rebels to a secret society to an entire country.

Create Land (2 points)
-Create land, from the stars in the sky to the spray of the sea. Indigenous flora and fauna are assumed to thrive here unless stated otherwise.

Alter Land (1 point)
-Alter the form of pre-existing land. Change it into anything, from a desert to an iceland.

Create Plane (4 points)
-Create an alternate plane of existence. There are no limits. Let your imagination flow into the plane.

Introduce Lesser Concept (1 point)
-If you feel something small is taking too long to be discovered, you can introduce it to society. They can figure it out on their own, this is just a way to make it happen sooner.

Introduce Greater Concept (4 points)
-If you want the world to advance early, this is the ability to use. Introduce large things, such as leaping through time or raising the dead through magic.

Create Artifact (4 points)
-Create an object of power. Examples would be a sword of black hole matter that can tear through anything or a sarcophagus that shoots through time and space. The amount of power in the artifacts is at the discretion of the moderators.

Create Hero (3 points)
-Have a person from an existing species rise to a hero or create an entire new one yourself(and being able to roleplay as them).

Bless/curse (1 point)
-Give the world a blessing for your approval or a curse if the opposite. Another God must spend the amount of divinity points the original user did, plus one, to cancel a curse or blessing. A blessing could bring about great harvest or skill in battle. A curse could sow horrible disease or disastrous events.
Example: Selim, God of Knowledge and Advancement, used Curse, spending one divinity point. The curse created an eternal storm that sent fire down upon the earth. Kroed, God of Salvation and Mercy, decided to end this curse. He canceled it out, spending two divinity points.

Infuse (4 points)
-Grant a shard of your divinity to any being, giving them power based on one of your Concepts.

MODERATORS
These are people chosen to run the roleplay. Moderator powers include:
Accepting characters
Approving the acquirement of Concepts
Determining the outcome of battles
Deciding over ambiguity
Awarding extra points for whatever reason
Approving of time skips
Approving artifacts and infusion powers

I may appoint moderators as I see fit. Currently, the only moderator is Evilguy10, though Mjewje may have the spot if he chooses to join.

My characters:

Name : Retorak

Appearance (if any): A truly massive cloud of dust and burning gas, several million miles in radius, that takes many different shapes depending on whatever whims

Concepts: Matter, energy

Goals: None, so far. He simply wants to create and fondly regard his creations.

Brief description of your deity: Retorak is a generally benevolent deity. He is very intelligent, and attempts to better all of creation through his own works. He will, however, rarely actively intervene with the actions of other deities.


Name: Quin

Appearance (if any): A humanoid creature. It stands about nine feet tall, its hide composed of black scales with an odd green light showing from underneath. Its six-fingered hands and five-toed feet (two of each) both end in claws. There are two long tentacles sprouting from its upper back. It has what seems to be a helmet over its head, with two bright green strips on the front.

Concepts: Time, death

Goals: To maintain the Concepts it represents throughout the universe.

Brief description of your deity: Quin lacks emotion, unless you could say its passion for order is an emotion. It also has a distinct fascination with imagination and possibility. It carries out its will however it sees fit.

You roleplay as deities who represent concepts.
You're able to gain more concepts later on.

Submit a character sheet for approval.

Name: Ajiditin
Appearance: Usually formless, though if he must appear to someone, he will take the form of a man in a blue robe and a staff, with the head of an owl.
Concepts: Knowledge and Peace
Goals: Know. About. EVERYTHING.
Brief description: A quiet deity, he keeps to himself and tries to learn as much as possible. The peace part plays a role, too. He hates fighting. Hates it. He will prevent any fighting in any possible way, and doesn't like to document fighting, even though he must.

Name: Keriko
Appearance: On first sight you might consider Keriko to just be a giant black and purple blob. On the inside is another story however. It looks like there are purple wires going everywhere with a dark power eminating off of each. In the very middle is what seems to be heart, except that "heart" is actually Keriko. All of the purple "wires" are connected to it and also seem to be connected to something else. Then again, no one would even be able to get inside because that dark transperentish blob around him is impenetrable. Also you most likely won't recognize him as easily because he his able to change shape due to his form. Then again, he can't change colors...
Concepts: Darkness and Corruption
Goals: Spread darkness and corruption as much as he can, without angering the other gods too much.
Brief description: Keriko isn't one that you would call "creative". He likes to steal others' ideas and alter them enough to make them his own. Occasionally he will create something without the intension of stealing something. Although he doesn't get along with other gods very often, he does respect them enough that he won't try to corrupt everything of theirs, maybe about half?

guys, keep in mind that you can't really describe relationships that haven't even begun yet
also keep in mind that your deity is ALLOWED to sabotage or steal the works of others, but this is about telling a story
the goal of this is NOT to "win"

Coolblue, you're accepted.

Positive(+) and Negative(-) energy is related to magnetism. As long as there is + or -, they will always both be there. If you rotate a nonexistent "Positive only" magnet in a coil, it will automatically produce the other;+ & - are ultimately intertwined.

Positive matter is the "real" stuff. Like the desk and computer. Negative matter is something called anti-matter and is 100% negative, unlike anything else. "-" matter also is extremely expensive due to it's difficulty to produce and store, and also that half a gram can cause a Hiroshima sized blast.

Ions(if you were wondering) are in either magnetic fields or electricity(I'm not sure which) but are neutral. They are high energy, but easier to contain.
