“It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.” -J. V. STALIN

Before we continue in the IC, do we want to act out the formation of the Pact and the creation of the new mortal realm in the IC? Or would we rather timeskip ahead to where we can actually start creating things and interacting with fledgling civilizations?

It looked like you were behaving like 'gods' were an emergent property of the universe. You mentioned in the OP that basically everything in the universe had been annihilated before this and that the previous gods had all been killed. If gods are just manifesting themselves spontaneously you could assume that the 'mortal realm' exists already but is disorganized and chaotic.

There's no mortal realm or any real lifeforms yet. The building blocks are there, but it's all mixed up in a primordial soup with aspects of the universe (gods) spontaneously manifesting left and right. The gods are planning on collaborating to create a shared mortal realm, but we haven't gotten there yet.

Danubian Peoples wrote:Ovesa, good to know! It appears that the foundation god concept I outlined seems to be a bit out of my grasp. I'm not sure how to roleplay a giant turtle/defeated titan/really big elephant holding up the world. I mean, perhaps this foundation god is responsible for natural processes? Perhaps volcanoes are just zits on the god's skin? And maybe you shouldn't bring him onions, because then he'll flood the world? That sounds a bit fun, but I can't really seem how I could do that. It is probably in the realm of a more experienced roleplayer. Also, care to provide links to the corresponding applications in the OP? The OOC is going to grow bigger, and it would be pain to navigate page after page to check out an application. Thanks!
As for the god I'm thinking of, I was hoping to borrow a deity I came up with for another roleplay, Gaash, the sole god of the Gaashli religion. Since these gods have to exist as independent persons, and not just fiction dreamt up by sapient beings, I'm not sure how to translate a god that is LITERALLY EVERYTHING in a rule-abiding manner to this roleplay. Like, Gaash doesn't just hold sway over all things in the world, he is all things in the world, in the very animist sense. Gaash is the mountains, the fields, the men and women, the animals, the rivers, the lakes, et cetera. I'm considering dropping everything but the name, to be honest.
