So, we are "building" a new world.

I assume there is pre-established areas and we would each be responsible as part of small section of the "larger map"?

Can we build our realms too or only the world?

In the creation of the world, since I'm the god of the Earth, I suppose I would lay down great formless masses of earth for each god to shape in his own domain?

I think realm should work more on a dimensional matter than "earth" matter.

So, in other words, you're suggesting that each god craft his own spiritual world outside of the Earth. That would make sense.

Why are people already creating realms and creatures? I'm pretty sure we haven't gotten to that stage yet.

It says stage 2. And I missed my creation entry, so I just kinda plopped them together. Hope that's okay.

I think you missed the point of my post. We're supposed to be creating the world, and I hardly think that any one deity has enough power to forge an entire realm for themselves out of the blue, after being newly-created. Besides, intelligent creature creation isn't until Stage 3.

World =/= Earth. World can include all the other realms, too, I guess. And if it's the singular deity's realm, I don't see why they can't create it. They are a god, after all. And maybe they're at their most powerful after their creation because they haven't created anything else yet.
I agree with the creature thing though, yeah.

world/wərld/
Noun:
The earth, together with all of its countries, peoples, and natural features.

The World is most certainly the Earth, or whatever we chose to name the planet or plane that our creations will dwell on. What was created at the beginning was the universe. Regardless, it seems pretty over-powered for a God to create a physical plane, or else creating the world wouldn't take their combined powers. To be honest, though, I think it would be interesting if the God itself is its own plane. Sort of like the Buddha Fields from Buddhism, where each Buddha has his own self-contained heaven.

Semantics, though. The only reason world is defined as that is because we don't have other planes, or haven't discovered them at least. It really just depends on the OPs intention on using that word, I myself use world and universe interchangably... If it takes all their power to create a world, that might be because sentient beings and making sure they all contribute something. If it's their realm, which I see as a reflection of their mind or whatever, sorta like the different lands in Homestuck can be construed to be if you've read it, then I don't see why they can't create it themselves.

Stage 2 is creating the world. Of course, it doesn't intend the Earth, you can toss away your dictionary, the OP surely intended the plane of existence with that.

I asked the OP if we can create our realms to, a la Nordic gods to be precise: It would render the RP more free, not having to use earth every time we want to do something on a land.

I don't quite understand these 'realms', I never have... In my mind, with Deity RPs, there should be three realms: The Gods Realm, the Worldly Realm, and the Realm of the Dead.

Realms are litterally land of the gods. Usually they unite in a Pantheon, but this could be difficult if they have different vision. Imagine Greek, Egyptian and Nordic gods were all real, you would see them in the same place together?

I prefer that every god has his minor realm, and then the Major god is the actual ruler of the major realm. The realm of the dead was, in the end, just another realm.

Speaking of the realm of the dead, did my addition of God of the Dead get accepted or not?

I can't really do anything in Stage Two, as I can only really give the emotions of Rage and Hate and Anger to the created beings.

You can create a land of fire and brimstone. Kinda screams hate to me, at least.

I could use all of the hate to create a sun? Or an entire realm of hate and rage... I could create the Hell of our universe!

Well, not exactly Hell- there would not be any dead souls, but a realm of demons who prey on such mortals. Ever play The Elder Scrolls games? It's like Menrunes Dagon's realm of Oblivion.

Then may Sheogorath turn you into a puddle.

Think Hell, but not with dead people. Just things that kill people.
