I'm the Maker. You're all the Shapers. I make the universe, You play the little-g "gods" and play around, raise mountains, make abodes, et cetera. Capice? Oh, and only I can infuse sentience into whatever mortals You choose to create.
Show of hands/hooves/claws/tentacles/etc, who's interested? Oh, and after making the mortals and stuff, you can choose to become heroes of old, great emperors, wage wars, build wonders, et cetera. Just keep the, you know, INTIMATE parts to yourself.
I think I'll want at least 4 interested players before starting.
Please choose a "realm", like Weather, Oceans, Hunting, Eagles, etc when "signing up" as a god/goddess.
Please create EVERYTHING in-game, yourself. No introducing things from "outside" Creation. For all intents and purposes, this IS the Universe, the All. No memories prior to Wake.
This is PLANE sized. Not GALACTIC sized. Think flat earth.
This is the prehistory of Equestria. You are, literally, MAKING Equestria from scratch, and its entire history. You make Atlantis, you form Lemuria and all that stuff. Even Nibiru if you like. All the ancient conspiracies, the myths, the heroes of old, those are YOU.
Oh, and please sign up your characters, UNLESS they're "unimportant" aka civilians.
Prototype Laws of the World
1, The Law of Origin: Nothing Before Allfather: You are the keeper of this plane, this reality. You control a vast world, with a roof of stars above it, sealed with an Empyrean area of creation. In here you are a god, a fragment of reality given life, purpose, and personality. But nothing in you is outside creation. You do not pull strange monsters from beyond the realms, make deals with light devouring spiders from the void, or talk to the strange thing nibbling at the world’s roots. Allfather knows his works, and perhaps has worlds and creatures beyond this one, but it is not for the gods to introduce one. If a god does claim to have found an entity or force older or apart from this world, its probably a lie or insanity.
And to be fair, its possible some of these gods will go insane
2. The Law of Basic Sanity: There are laws and values in this world that do not require a God. Gravity pulls toward the earth, not toward the starry roof. Logic, or logos, was made by Allfather, gods were made whole enough that they all have the capacity for deduction.
Example: Celes and Magaximus hold power over light and the sun, while Seraphim holds fire. These powers over warmth, light, heat, what is necessary for life. However, none of them can declare “Light is no longer a concept” any more then a minecraft player can go “There is no such thing as a workbench”. The very basic concepts of reality must exist.
Laws of the Gods
1, The Law of Divine Dominion: No god may use their power to alter the mind or dominion of another god, unless by the will and decision of that altered god. A god may choose to become different from what they are, and can even make mistakes or alter their interpretation of their dominion over the world. But ultimately, a god cannot be forced to change or forsake their divine mandate, they must choose to transform themselves
Example: Aragor wishes to spread the destruction across the ocean, and believes that uses a customized blight that transforms a person into their nightmares is effective. Unfortunately for this plan, Shubidu has control of dreams, and creates sea ponies specifically to hold rescue people and harvest solidified hope to counter this spread. Shubidu cannot be polluted by Aragor, but the mercurial god of the seas does decide to eat the blight in hope of gaining a better emphasis of using nightmares to transform enemies. This does mean Shubidu’s divine makeup shifts a bit, at least until they gestate something to put their newfound evilness into.
2. The Law of Claimancy: In areas where two gods contest, the tie breaker if necessary is the strength of the divinity of the elements being used. If Magaximus’ great war machine, forged in the sun itself is set by upon the goblins, and the goblins resist, Magaximus’ divine favors will hold greater sway, as the mechanical monstrosity is born of him and practically a demigod. But if Muermatt’s first child, the prime goblin goes to battle, Muermatt’s divinity reigns stronger in the area then Magaximus’ great weapon. Should the divine effort put in both agents prove equal, such as the first goblin attempting to tame the first dragon with both carrying blessing and an enchanted object, the determination falls more clearly to the mortal contesting then the gods favoring each outcome.
