Prologue: Forming
Gods and Goddessess. Beings of unimaginable power far beyond mortal ken. Born and feed out of people's faith, these otherworldly creatures are all capable of bringing untold prosperity or devastation to any and all around them. Boundless and Eternal, their Sacred nature left few to be their equal, and soon enough, many worlds began to found themself to be utterly dominated by these mighty beings.
All because of the Aspects that they wielded.
Aspects. The crystallization of the Deities inner nature. These are ideas, concepts, or even just the mere facts that defines the very existance of Gods and Godessess. Each has an Aspect of their own, and while some are similar, none are exactly the same. With them, they are capable of achieving the truly impossible. The God of Earth can raise towering mountains from a single swing, the Goddess of Life can grow a miles long forest with just a song, and the God of Light can create miracles out of nothing.
Reviving the dead, moving the stars, and even creating their own laws for the World. There seems to be no real limit to what these larger than life creatures can do. Many others are left wanting in their immediate presence.
Thus, it is with their ability to wield the very foundation of reality itself as their instrument, did the Gods and Goddessess established their control into the World. All together, it would simply be incorrect to call them anything other than Divine. For they demand nothing less.
You... are one of them.
And just like them, you also possess an Aspect of your own. A part of you that perfectly embodies the core of your existance and ways of delivering your will into the World. Only one for now, but as long as you remained to exist, more surely would fall under your Domain.
What is it however? The very first Aspect that you have as a Divine? Now tell me.

And of course, while there's no denying your obvious empyrean nature, there are still questions to be had of just how did you started to be. Questions about ever since when did you become something relevant.
Were you a fully fledged Divine Being when you have finally stepped into the stage? Or was your origin comes from something much more mundane? Your first impression of the World and everything inside of it would colour your perception of it for forever more. Alongside those of others concerning you as well.
The World where you would be living in is complex and full of dangers. Even to an entity such as yourself, there would always be something that would promise you oblivion if you are unfortunate enough to encounter them. Even more so, depending on the times.
The threats to your continued existence may appear as blatant as the lethal blow coming from a renowned legendary figure, or as as insidious as the going ons between forces unobservable to you. All will consider you differently according to in what state you appeared to be when you will finally come under their notice. When they will be able to clearly see just what kind of opportunities you could have bring, or the kind of dangers that you could have create.
Regardless of how you would be perceived however, know that you would never be truly safe whenever your presence can still be felt from within this World. Now tell me.
How Divine Are You? You Are...
[ ] Not Very Divine: Calling you a Divine Being is a bit of misnomer. While you do have some Divinity deep within you, there's just not a lot of it to be anything substantial. What you can do with your Aspect is barely even above what a normal mortal can achieve on their own. Still, what you have is still a spark. Start the Quest with 1d50 as your Dice Roll and 1d25 as your Stats.
[ ] Very Much Divine: Why do you even bother? There is no mistaking the sheer amount of Divinity that you possess. Mortals struggle to even comprehend what you can casually do with the mere flexing of your Aspect. You are above and beyond many, and yet, there are still more that are far above you. Start the Quest with 1d100 as your Dice Roll and 1d50 as your Stats.
The next important matter would be when you are going to impose your own ideals into reality. The World possess a long and complicated history. One that is completely filled with twist and turns at every possible events. Nothing however is truly absolute. There are only chances. Some are far more likelier than the other, while the rest required something very specific for it to even occur. All could be affected by beings like you.
The World's Destiny and Fate hangs on an ever swinging pendulum. Constantly swaying between Darkness and Light. All manner of Beings and Entities had already throws in their influence to change the final outcome to the one each find most desirable. Not knowing how the path forward has already been tirelessly carved and sculpted over meticulously with care.
Yet change and alter them they still do. Their endless intervention doesn't mean nothing. No matter how big or small, all the choices that has been and would be made ultimately means something, in the end.
Your choices would also mean something.
The only question left is ever since when.
Now tell me.
When Will You Appear? You Would Intervene...
[ ] During the Beginning: You come to be at the Dawn of Creation. The world itself isn't so much of a world and are just the idea of one. And yet, you are not alone. Though faint, you are still able to sense many beings who have now began to call this world you have found yourself in home. Many of them are just wandering around aimlessly, with no purpose. Only some are like you who seems to have any sort of plan in mind for the future that you all will create.
[ ] During the Decline: You come to be after the coming of a catastrophe. Despite how big the world is to your newborn senses, it's very much obvious even to you that she is hurting. So much has already been lost from the time long past, but there are others like you who even now are still trying to heal her. All in their own unique ways. Few your numbers might be, there must be more dangers to be overcome. Alone or together, your future may yet able to be shaped.
[ ] During the Decay: You come to be in the middle of an apocalypse. The very first thing that you felt are the dying screams of mortals who are in pain and despair. The world felt so very small and restricting. You can't feel any being who is just like you anywhere near. Everything is uncertain. Everything has already been in motion. You can't do anything to stop the future from coming. The only thing you can do is to survive.
All because of the Aspects that they wielded.

Character Sheet
<NEPTCYS>
Born during the Beginning of Creation, this Divine Being became one of the first few who had took over an abstract concept of a Place. After emerging from the depths of Chaos as one of the undisputed rulers of the Sea, they found themself in a dark and unwelcoming World where they were soon met with a group of mortals who they immediately found themself wanting to protect. Decisive and caring. This Deity will move swiftly once they have decided to save someone.

It is fine. The setting I made allows me to pretty much go crazy. Have any kind of Aspect as you want. Though a Computer during the Beginning? Yeah, your origin will be very unique indeed.

Huh, thats strange. Why is Doccer's vote for my Universal Computer plan not being folded into 1 vote in the auto tally? It can't just be because he only wrote the first part with the name since it's working with the other plan he voted for. The only thing coming to mind atm is maybe it's because I don't have "plan" in the beginning of the title?
Hey @Doccer, could you update your vote so it reads "Plan Universal Computer", so that we can see if that fixes the auto tally?

Yeah, I don't know why either. It's obvious what they are voting though, so I'll count them together.
Thanks Doccer, adding "plan" into the beginning of the title seems to have worked.
