    [Island] Open Ocean
    [Perk] Landscapers

    And so, the world expands. The touch of the ___s drift farther from the first isle, so far that their elongated reach couldn't hope to touch it. The isle is far beyond their sight and reach.

    The world turns, and then the world halts its turning. Here, there is nothing but open ocean. Kilometers deep, darkness blanketing the deep. No sight of dry land could be seen. The world yearns, eager to feel the ___s touch after some time of separation, and now they may exercise the power and expertise they have gathered from the creation of the first isle.

    ([Landscapers] is active. Acts that change the shape of the land gain +2 Bonus Votes.)

    • Oh ho ho. Time to remember that we have no land, so benefiting from this bonus is a maybe. Then again, the land's all underwater. We'll just use that.
    Either way, I'm doing my best to use some mental gymnastics to acquire that bonus.

    Authored Act
    [X] Form The Egg

    Deep in the oceanic trenches, away from the sight of any inquisitive or interested creations, rocks which pepper the sand around it are pulled together and tightened. The sand itself is filled in the gaps, and it begins to tighten and coalesce, coming together to form an inert egg of pure mineral. A smooth, beautiful thing, that would be mistaken for a common boulder from far away.

    And with that, its creation is taken one step further, however, and inside it gestantes a living being. Though it looks nothing like it currently, it's form upon hatching would be that of the the avians with an acquaintanceship of water from the previous isle the ____s touched. To ensure it's strength, the egg would passively (and a bit violently) absorb the energy and material around it, developing the embryo's form and gaining power until the ____s see fit to hatch the being.

    [X] Create a Seed
    This seed is special mix between a bamboo and a tree. It has charactaristics of both of them. It will endlessly grow upwards, and will get sturdier and harder the longer it lives. But it will only be a single tree, no spreading throughout the seas. Just like the Bamboos, should this tree perish either by outside damage or a poison, old age and such new Tree will canabalize the corpse to grow higher and sturdier. It will use sunlight for itself as well. due to being part tree.

    The ___s
  • Apocrypha
    • The ___s

    ​
    In a world of endless ocean and eternal blue something strange is stirring. Something has appeared. Somethings?



    The World is still so young, naïve and clueless about what they are, It has been observing them from the moment they came. It instantly knew them as the ___s.

    " What does it mean? What is the ___s?" This is what something a certain bipedal creature with slight fur in their skin might ask, but the World will not as the very existence of 'question does not exist YET'.



    Unlike the eternal and neverchanging seas these ___s are all very different from each other.

    One of them is something called Duck made from stars in the sky. Another is a being covered in something like the sands on the seafloor, but not quite.

    There was something that was very lean and shoving one end of itself against the other, forming a circular shape. A pink thing like a certain sky that has something very wrong with it.

    Few of them were formless, just a floating things made of various 'things'.

    And at the head of them all was a blue thing with pink on top and black thing connecter to his bottom.



    It felt…. Certain dread from seeing them? (The young couldn't have known that these creatures from the CHAOS preyed upon young world, messing up the natural world and tear up everything and fill it with things only unique to themselves.)

    The Blue thing created something like the things under the sands on the water. One of them dumped a lot of brown sand on that thing, while another put some strange living? thing on it.

    Some of them put strange crawling? beings on them. Some of…


    And so as the ages passed and the world that was rigid and unchanging became a World of constant evolution, tests, and chaos.

    On the sea various beings roam around, eating each other, eating other things like bamboo, syrup and unfortunate Ducks that go too far into the open ocean.

    Unfortunately it wouldn't last as the world will go dull once again as those ___s left. It wished for them to create things and do wonders. As the world was slowly reverting back to its old self it felt them…

    They were back…

    I'm kinda tired of ducks. Fair warning to all concerned: I'll be attempting to make Fishmen, who will pathologically loathe avians. (And then I'll try to start a war between them and Island 1's Ducks, for the lulz.)

    Alright, I'm making a ruling that every act technically scales with grade, but not all acts scale equally. Yes, your act scales with grade, but does not benefit from perk.

    Small Act. I'm flavoring this differently from the fish of the first isle. I was thinking of those as smooth silvery fish like tuna.
