There exists a world where humans, monsters, and deities alike exist. You are a minor deity and you don't have a clue about your origins or why you exist.
Protect your people and rise up in the world! Encounter creatures, ruins, people, and more. Construct your civilization as you make choices. Each choice will affect the story greatly.

    Queen Snake

    A Snek with A Pen
    Pronouns
    She/Her
    Monsters roam the land, their ferocious might killing all in their path. They come from the creation of deities. There are many stories of these deities' origins; from them being created from nothing to being created from human thought. Some say they only exist to protect humans from monsters that haunt their daily lives. Though, some ask themselves, do deities really exist at all?
    You are one of these deities, though a minor one. You just recently came into existence with some territory to your name. The people call you…

    [ ] Name (cannot be a real deity name)

    Although, with this name came a perception of how you look.

    [ ] Appearance (please submit a picture)

    Your people pray to you for many things, but some of those things come with domains.

    [ ] Main Domain: "The Arts" (Music, Art, Writing, Etc)
    Minor Domain: Diplomacy

    Your territory consists of towns and cities. Notable for their creativity and diplomacy; they create such wonders that tourists come to visit every day. Your people have a preference for creating fire - making your territory a fire hazard.

    Pros: You're further along on the development of technology and the arts than others. People praise you. You have a wall that defends against monsters - although it's been breaking down recently.

    Cons: Nature defies you and will often seek to be in your way. Abyssnare (invisible monsters) wants to trample the city, leaving destruction in their wake.

    [ ] Main Domain: Nature
    Minor Domain: Earth Magic, Animals

    Your territory consists of forests, small villages, and mountains. Ruins of past civilizations run with nature. The people that live there combat with animals and make peace. Animals enjoy the water and often splash people for fun. Plantlife may poison the people or the monsters.

    Pros: Animals may bring gifts and fight for you. Some plant life has medicinal effects.

    Cons: You are left behind in technology as other domains reach forward. Cavilian (human-sized, frog-like monsters) kill the life around them, and people lie sick with diseases.

    Mechanics
  • Informational
    • Inspired by: A God From Ash (Post Apocalyptic God Quest)

    In the beginning, you get 100 points for each turn. You can spend these points on your domains or you can create new domains - depending on how broad the category is. You can spend 20 points and get, for example, a domain in potatoes. You get more +1 point for each humanoid in your territory. You can also get mysterious points from other creatures, depending on how you interact with them. You can invite others in your territory if you have conquered another territory, or your population has children.

    Karma- The less Karma you have the more likely Chaos events will happen. The more Karma you have the more likely chaos events will happen.
    Stats: Each choice matters as it can give you different stats. You start off with 5 in each category besides Karma. The next turn will affect how much karma you have.

    Ex:

    Charisma (CHA)
    Karma (KAR)
    Constitution (CON)
    Dexterity (DEX)
    Wisdom (WIS)
    Strength (STR)

    Population: Food, Homes, Materials.

    There is also a leveling-up system! You can get more points per person for each level you go up! You can get points for leveling up your domains.

    You also have to make sure to keep an eye out for your population.

    Serious post. Let's enjoy this.

    Carried by a child follower of a war camp. Eventually, the child grew into an adult, followed in their father's footsteps, and continued carrying him, even through battle. Shnuggles became a fixture of the camp, a token of good luck among the soldiers. He absorbed both love and violence in equal measure, giving rise to his domains. Eventually, his child was slain, and Shnuggles would forever lament his inability to protect his child for the rest of his existence.
    Approximately 2 feet tall.

    Or maybe not. Reread it and saw character has no concept of origin.

    @Queen Snake, there's a bug with votes. There were together four votes, four posts and three different plans.
    Mine-There is something more beautiful than civilization?
    Which got two votes, (obviously) from me and @GAWR.
    @SpacePaladin-Burning Goddess. Which got one vote.
    And then-Death by Cuddles which also got only one vote from @Fooslock.
    I'm missing something? Because otherwise i can't understand those votes.

    [X]Plan: Burning Goddess
    While I like the bear plan it feels a tad memey for this one.
     
    Fair enough. How about this then?

    [X] Plan: Nature's Vengeance
    [X] Borovoi
    [X] Appearance
    [X] Main Domain: Nature
    Minor Domain: Earth Magic, Animals
     
    Or this?

    [X] Plan: A Gentle Giant, Smashing!
    [X] Kurabu
    [X] Appearance
    [X] Main Domain: Nature
    Minor Domain: Earth Magic, Animals

    EDIT: Had to censor it. Forest spirits have no concept of modesty.

    Don't take this as trolling either, I'm just trying to add diversity here since we essentially have 3 of the same thing.

    Nature is pretty boring, what with the 'druid' cliche in nearly every fantasy fic or book and the many 'tree'/'forest'/'other plant or animal' stories I've already read (they're mainly SIs, too...).

    But Art and Diplomacy? That's pretty rare, and pretty fun when you stumble across it.

    [X]-Answer.
    [X]Upgrade 25 points-The Arts.
    [X]Upgrade 25 points-The Diplomacy.
    [X]Check people's needs and wants (They scholars want inspiration for new technologies).
    [X]Investigate Wall Protecting Your Territory.

    Like with every other quest, i think we should concetred first on things we arleady have or know for sure, and most obvious problems that we should care about (the needs of our worshippers and they safety).
    So, expanding our arleady existing domains is must. The same with checking out desires and safety of our subjects.
     
    [X]Plan-Safety first.
    I agree, no point scavenging or creating until we've Diplomancy-ed anything that may otherwise interrupt our Arts.
