Era 0: The Dawn
In the time before time, there was naught but the darkness and the mist of the formless chaos. Ideas of definition and form were nothing but brief imaginings that flitted between the infinitesimal moments between still eternities, restlessly awaiting the day of their coming. And then the day comes, as from the chaos rises the Sun, burning and incandescent, its flames stirring motion into the still cosmos and its light bringing the empty universe into stark clarity.
With the birth of the Sun, the first distinction is made—a boundary between light and shadow, between what is and what is yet to be. The once-dormant mists of chaos recoil, swirling in the brilliance of the new dawn, and the void trembles with the first whisper of purpose. The Sun, a beacon of blazing authority, draws the raw, untamed energies of the cosmos toward it, igniting the first sparks of potential within the boundless expanse.
As the Sun casts its rays far and wide, the mist begins to coalesce, forming the first inklings of matter—vast clouds of gas and dust, swirling and eddying in the newborn currents of reality. The empty void, once indifferent, now teems with possibilities, as the Sun's light breathes life into the endless sea of what could be.
Yet, within the depths of the chaos, primal forces stir. The Sun's light reaches into the farthest corners of the void, awakening thoughts and visions that had lain dormant, formless and nameless. These are the first inklings of awareness, the faint stirrings of something greater, something that could shape the very fabric of the universe.
The cosmos, still young and wild, is a canvas of infinite potential. The Sun burns brightly at its center, a source of power and light, but the world remains unformed, waiting to be shaped, waiting for the touch of a guiding hand.
And so it begins. The dawn of creation is upon the universe, but it is still a time of beginnings, a moment when the future is yet unwritten, and all that exists is potential. The Sun watches over the void, its light calling out to whatever might rise from the chaos to bring forth form and meaning.
The world waits, poised on the edge of becoming, as the forces of the cosmos prepare to awaken and take their first steps into creation.
Now, newborn god, what is your first act in this universe?
[ ]
Turn 1 Begin
Theme: The Beginning - It is the dawn of this new universe, and it is ready and waiting for the things that will set the foundation for reality to appear. All acts are boosted.
World State:
The universe is yet incomplete, physics is more a suggestion and the fabric of space and time have yet to be solidified (though it is solid enough to prevent time travel). There is no true boundaries or reference point yet save the Sun which serves to mark the center of the cosmos.
Around the sun is a vast nebula of gas and dust and the further from the sun the nebula slowly gives way to unshaped chaos mist until it eventually fades into Primeval Night.
Gameplay
You play as a newly emerged god in the beginning of Creation, acting as one of the forces that will shape it during its first age. Each turn will last 1 Era, a indeterminate period of time that will be marked in universe as the periods of activity for the Primordial Gods.
Each player can author 1 act, and support the act of any other player. There is no limit on how many acts they can produce.
There are 6 levels of acts, and each level requires a set amount of votes in order to be accepted and be implemented. The required level of an act depends on its scope.
Minor Act (1 Vote): An act on the personal scale, affecting a small group of individuals at any one time. Generally something of very minor and small impact. Create a handful of a mundane species, grant someone street level powers, burn down a house.
Lesser Act (3 Votes): An act that can affect thousands of people, something on the scale of entire cities and small regions. Introduce a mundane species into the world or a handful of slightly supernatural creatures, elevate a being to the power of mythical demigod, attack with all the force of a nuclear bomb.
Greater Act (5 Votes): An act that can affect millions, touching on the scale of nations . Introduce a new supernatural species, raise up and shape continent. This is the level to create a single sentient being.
Grand Act (8 Votes): An act that can affect billions, reaching the scale of an entire planet. Shape entire worlds, create moons and simple ecosystems. This is the level of creating a relativley mundane sapient species.
Divine Act (12 Votes): Things on the level of working of entire star systems. Create entire worlds, stars, and planetary systems, Create godlike servants, enact lesser acts on the scale of the entire galaxies.
Stellar Act (16 Votes): Things that are galactic in scale. Essentially things far beyond a single start system, Anything beyond a star in size, but theoretically finite in expression. Create and shape galaxies.
Cosmic Act (20 Votes): There is no limit on what this level of act can do used to change things on the level of the entire universe. Create magic systems, alter the metaphysics of reality or the actual physics for that matter. Go wild.
Some things can be subject to veto. Rules subject to change as needed and things develop.
Theme: Every turn will have a theme to it. Any act that follow that theme will have the level of act boosted so a Minor Act will become a Lesser Act with only 1 vote and it only requires 11 vote to make a cosmic act if it follows the theme. Again the theme for turn 1 is Beginnings, so all acts are boosted for the first turn.
AN: So I was in the mood for a god quest but found there wasn't any running right now and realized that it has been nearly a year since I ran it. I have had a lot of free time lately so I decided to give this concept another try. Hopefully I can actually lead this to completion.

Authored:
[X] Law of Consistency
The awakened goddess was restless as she tried to decide what to create first. She didn't want to unknowingly break something already present in existence, however minuscule it might be at the moment. She was an artist and maker by nature, her very essence born from smashed together concepts. One of many, but rare for her luck to be alive and functional after her birth. So she decided to create a canvas for the world to exist.
The Law of Consistency is an ontological and axiomatic 'canvas' permeating the existing. It is a simple fundamental law – the universe is capable of governing its own consistency, if needed. For example, if someone travels back in time to create a grave paradox, the Canvas will distort and smooth out consequences, create mandates of existence to make this not a world-breaking issue, but also a part of the world at the same time in some way. Or if something comes from outside of current reality, the Canvas would make sure to account for it and prevent it from turning into an existential disaster. The universe can react to the actions of gods and mortals to locally or fully rearrange itself on the scale of many small details to preserve its own consistency and make sure everything within its domain is somehow in harmony with the whole system, or at least can exist reliably. Reality is soft, when and where it needs to be.
However, how the Canvas reacts to specific instances of reality warping or wounding is not predictable, not set in stone. It will certainly try to preserve consistency somehow without outright destroying the reason for change, but the consequences can and will be unpredictable. Someone traveled back in time to create bad paradox? Well, maybe they end up creating a loop, or perhaps an alternative timeline, or maybe they would come back into the present right before the moment the intended change in the past could cause a grave paradox... It depends on specifics of event. The universe is aware of itself in some sense, it watches and corrects itself, but never goes against itself – never outright destroys something which became part of its existence because it would mean to eat a small part of its own being, metaphorically speaking. Good thing, it has an endless well of inspiration and ideas on how to right the wrongs from anything which resides in itself, like gods or any creature with a creative spark. But it doesn't have awareness and will in usual sense, it is just really complicated and smart rule based on conceptual logic, the Perfect Canvas.
Mistakes of existence will not kill or wound itself, but will change it in unpredictable ways. Most likely, the actions of the Canvas would be most noticeable at the start of existence, while the gods are still very active and make a lot of waves, a lot of grand changes. But in the future, there probably wouldn't be instances for the Canvas to warp little details, and many things would probably be already encountered and accounted for in myriad of ways for each possible instance of particular event at some point, because gods like to enact bizarre changes. What is an artist without a perfect canvas to paint anything they want?
(The universe essentially possesses highly adaptable and robust hardware and fundamental software. Any new systems created upon it can be seamlessly integrated without compromising consistency or causing a breakdown of the entire system. The Canvas, representing the basic level of reality, reacts to changes proportionally to their magnitude and danger. However, the way it rectifies and adapts to these changes is unpredictable, albeit always a highly efficient process for each event.)

P.S. I don't think, I would be able to pull this one. But I would still try. Don't want to have existential apocalypses, but having other unpredictable and creative consequences as reaction to our fuck ups sounds fun. Because I am tired of dealing with reality suddenly being in some 'danger', so it should be able to push back against and adapt around us, if needed.
Yeah, you have growing multiverse of realities in process of creation. But don't be pressured by this too much. This is a game at the end of the day - process, which should be fun and interesting for both the QM and players. 👍
Oh, you gave me idea of creating colours, which doesn't exist in our reality at some point. Make spectrum not just a line from longer waves to shorter, but give this system another dimension so to speak. 🤔

Yeah, so we probably should create conditions for its existence, rather than just make it be. Perhaps, to prevent too many living things being made early on and bloat stuff out of control. It also makes sense. Intelligent life is really complicated after all - the human brain is the most complex system known to humanity in the whole universe in the present. 🤔
Although, I am also took a really big first bite. I need at least 11 votes (if I am not wrong) to enact my change. Well, it worth the shot!
Edit: Well, I decided on my role as a god for this quest. Want to try artist/crafter/programmer angle for this one. Someone who sees the world and changes it in a way, which reflects thier essence. Goddess paints, carves and types changes into existence - and perceives other making changes through the same lenses.

Sapient being is super complicated thing to make. No matter the scale - the fact it is sapient makes it just so unique, like gods themselves. So I can understand reasoning behind it. Also, it is a bit of a change of pace from how things usually are. I am curious to see, how things will develop with this rule. Maybe people would create non-sapient life first and then uplift them? Or create conditions for them to ascend to higher levels of intelligence?
Edit: Because usually there are too many sapient and god-like beings early on, and its hard to give every one of them some relevance in the plot. They are characters after all - so they need to be mentioned almost each update. And with each new thinking creature of importance made, it could becomes more and more burdensome for author. Or something like that.

A sapient being is complex yes, but I don't believe the complexity is greater then something that can effect an entire planet
Shelving a character temporarily is a thing, use some when they're currently relevant, maybe make a passing remark about what little business a character is doing in the background while big stuff is going down
Maybe I'm just against this intelligence requires 11 votes thing because I rely more on characterization and personality when creating stuff in these sorta quests, so this specific rule feels way more limiting to me then it probably is

It actually is (from some points of view). Things like advanced brain, intelligent mind and sapience (especially in one package) are much more complex, than even planetary changes/creations. Without even touching on the physical complexity - philosophically what is aware, what is sapient and how it works are questions without clear answers, mysteries of the highest order. Maybe even for gods of this reality. Maybe this is about soul. So its easier to create whole ecosystem for a planet, because its just physical complexity. But create something truly thinking, feeling and aware like gods themsleves? This is a challenge. Although, this is just my opinion on the matter, my vision of why rules are like this. Only author of the rules can answer, why they did things the way they are.
I understand your frustration though. However, these are the rules of the game we agreed to play in this thread. So what can we do?

Everyone have preferences and some things might just don't work for you. This is completely fair.

Reality is a fickle thing, and those which forge it even moreso.
It came to be upon the edge, gazing deep into that Primeval Night, and it came to realize what it was, what it would be.
The Horizon, the Inbetween. Not merely the boundary, but the Weight of it's Definition.
It was to be a Permanent Transience, the world Afar. And so it's work began.

Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy this kind of thing. I am usually thrilled when playing such games. (Especially god quests). 🤝
Have a great time! It's not like you must play this game, if you don't like it. Although, you still can freely watch where it goes, comment on our choices (and fuck ups) and come back at any time! 👍
Edit: Never was good at writing poems, but maybe I should try something... Just for fun and because I feel like it.
The world was young - gold filling the void.
Of sunlight between chaos and void.
No word was told, no one could see
When from the great darkness stepped the Eirsy.
The goddess of arts, or craftings and laws,
Gained awareness to live and behold.
She saw the great sun, the discord…
And then, she decided to run,
With great canvas in hand.
To put it before each step underneath
The empty of world was filled with a grid.
Eirsy took steps and made the first law
To be in the base of whatever to come.
So how was born the Canvas for gods to be painted,
To be torn, but forever stay whole.

Edit: a Soul is the conceptual self, protecting your existence against esoteric threats (mind control, being erased by time travel for example) by preserving it. The older and more complexe the Soul, the more powerfull it is. This is all a Soul provides for now.

So what're we trying to ensoul here? The Sun? This feels like it might need something more solid as a base first.
Not meant to be rude, genuine curiousity.

I think, it's about laws governing souls? Like, declaration that they exist, can appear in certain conditions and have rules to govern them. I think, for now it doesn't really affect anything (well, maybe except for gods), but can be really useful in the future. 🤔
Edit: After all, act can be named whatever, but in the description LotusPocus is telling about how and when souls appear.🤷♂️

Good enough for me for now, let's see what happens.
[] Rule of One: There is only one physical instance of a kind of thing ever, as the Sun in the skies show. When a thing is akin to something, like a pebble to a boulder, there is instead only the greater thing, as there is only a sole Night.
The memories of the world are short and limited, and in this primordial age, can something as evil as numbers be vanquished before its insidious grasps spreads to all of reality?
[X] Swordsman: Shape a being from the mists at the edges of definition and grant them the mission to reduce all things into One so that they may think. Tell them to contemplate swordsmanship.
Maybe delegating it to somebody else will be better.

@Andre Chaos has the gist of it. Generally, people and animals will have Souls, and whatever else fullfils the conditions. I will descibe a bit more what souls do.

I am also not sure... It can be literal, which would be kind of weird. But it also can a law of there being one thing as a ideal. Like, there is one ideal, conceptual rock and anything else is just instance/shadow of this one thing projected into the world. 🤔

Would be pretty weird, but that's the only way it made sense to me too. Not sure about it.
I hate to count and to count is to not see the thing for what it is, so there's only ever one thing and that's about it.

[X] The First Guardian
An immense monster is fashioned to defend the First Sun from anything that might seek to extinguish its light. It had no need for physical sustenance, the light of The First Sun itself sustaining them. It can freely move around the space under its own power without obvious sources of locomotion. Its form is an eldritch shifting mass of claws, fangs, horns, tentacles, wings, eyes, and bone plating that can alter and refine itself to better face a threat in physical matters. Despite its fearsome appearance, and immense physical strength and durability, it is an ultimately docile creature when it does not believe its charge to be in any danger.
It is effectively a celestial guard dog. A prototype made by a semi-conscious God just waking up.
