Part 2
Your first order of business is to try and get a good look at your surroundings and situation, so with a flex of your will, you begin by first creating [Light] in the form of small orbs, about the size of a baseball and placing them at equal distances around you, improving them with broadcasts of [Infrared] and then you expand the concept of [Sound].

7/10 Focus

Immediately you are blasted by a wall of noise; the roaring inferno around now illuminated and it seems like there is nothing but a writhing sea of flames as far as your eyes can witness, and the screaming is still going on. But even so, you can see and you can hear and the pain you feel is lessened by being on this platform of dark, unidentifiable rock.

You decide to celebrate and you try to create [Delicious Food] from what you can remember, only to be dismayed when everything you create is suddenly snatched away by the ever-hungry flames.

6/10 Focus

Frowning, you try instead for some [Tranquility] to even out the pain. A floating blue orb appears, illuminating a ring around you and already your agony fades, allowing you to feel something other than pain for the first time in...whenever.

5/10 Focus

Next, you decide to create [Water] and with a faintly burbling sound, clear water begins to flow from a crack in the rock and out into the flames, turning into steam but slowly, ever so slowly, you watch as the stream increases in flow and forces and soon, amidst clouds of steam, you see black rock, riddled with glowing veins, begin to be exposed by the water flowing over it.

4/10 Focus

[Spring] created! Land will expand naturally as Water extinguishes flames.

Steam begins to rise and billow...


Next, you decide to create [Air] and a misty ball forms over your head, about the size of what you remember a basketball as being. Delighted by your progress, you decide to create [Wind] in the same breath, and you watch as the ball begins to rotate until it was a flat disc and you could feel a breeze wash over you, relieving you of the heat surrounding you.

Even if the flames are fanned, they are being blown away from you all the same, though you wonder how the other souls are reacting to this?

2/10 Focus

[Wind] created! A cool breeze blows through the Lake Of Fire.

Wind and Steam interact...

Souls feel the wind and are reminded of better days...


And for your last trick, let there be [Dirt]!

You feel a rumbling shake the Lake, before a bulge forms out of the lake, dark and burning, dripping with what looks like glass and molten metal, before it explodes, a geyser of dirt spewing it's dark wealth across the flames desperately melting everything that lands on them, and it looks like the Lake is winning.

1/10 Focus

[Dirt] created! A geysering spire of dark earth, you can sense traces and small deposits of more advanced material within...


That was all rather exciting, and tiring you realise, so you wait until you feel more refreshed so you can continue, idly thinking of a new swear word, but since the only thing you can think of fickle-flop, you decide to abandon it for later.

And so, you plan your next moves...

[]Write In:




Dirt and Water will mix soon.

Steam clouds blown adrift begin to cool...

The wind remains cool.

Your platform is expanded by an additional 9 meters! Permanence remains at 1 for you and your platform.
 
[x]I want to make this spring more solid, I expand a focus to create [permanence]
[x]I'm still hungry. I want roast beast, and chicken, and fish... let's try that [delicious food] once more
[x]I want someone to share this food with. Let's make a [mouse]
[x]In fact, I want a dinner conversation partner. Let's make him a [talking mouse]
[x]Lastly, I want to cool off a little after all this hard work. Let's make [ice] or [mint], whichever works

[X] Now that you've thought of it... You have a platform of rock, but you aren't sure if it's actually been made something. The [Spring] of water would probably also benefit from being higher. So why don't you see if you can made a hill of [Stone] rise out of the platform, with the [Spring] trickling out of the top of it and down the sides of the hill into the lake?
[X] Oh, and whilst you're making the hill of [Stone], make sure that it's infused with veins of [Metal]. Best to start planning for the future.
[X] Maybe see if you can add in various forms of [Crystal] whilst you are at it?
[X] Invest a point of [Focus] into your platform, to make sure the flatter bits of it are coated in a layer of [Dirt]
[X] Might want to see if you can have some [Plants] growing in the layer of [Dirt] as well. Start simple with grass, bushes and a few trees. Maybe make sure that they are trees and bushes that produce fruit or berries?

Just so you are aware @Gideon020 there was a typo in my vote that I only just stopped. Falter was meant to be Flatter. Changed it in my vote but not sure if you'd double-check so I decided to notify you, seeing as the vote HAS been closed...
 
Part 3
You feel that your little realm is going to be unstable and on an impulse you place some of your power into the land itself, hoping to stabilise it from any possible future collapse.

Permanence invested into expanded platform. Permanence is now 3.

8/10 Focus


With the platform, enlarged and modified as it is, made more...permanent you should say, your attention turns to the fact that right now, you still feel hungry and lonely.

You once again try to create food, willing it into existence once more in the form of a large platter stuffed with what delicacies you can remember...and then watch as a tongue of flames reaches out and snatches it away again.

7/10 Focus
If only you had a proper Region to give you some security from the flames...


You decide to focus instead of creating a companion, a talking mouse to act as a friend and conversation partner, but when you focus your will, your body is wracked with a fiery agony unlike anything you ever experienced in the flames and for a moment you black out.

10/10 Focus
1/10 Stress


Blinking away spots from your eyes, you look around to see if your experiment worked, and you spot it, a small cute little creature that wouldn't be out of place in a cartoon, also looking around in confusion, until it locks eyes with you.

And screams.

It screams and screams and screams, a primal sound of soul-rending terror that you didn't think it had the lung capacity for as it screams and then turns and runs towards the Lake, throwing itself in where it vanishes in the blink of an eye, obliterated even as its screams echo in the air.

Well, that's concerning.

Greater power is needed to take up such an important mantle.

Shrugging at your failure, you decide to shelve it for now, focusing on improving your little island of sanity in madness. You decide to create some high ground, and with some focus, you feel the rock underneath you shift and tilt slightly in response to a small hill growing in the middle of the expanded platform, the action causing the ground where you are to become covered in a fairly thin layer of dirt that you are grateful for, as well as causing the spring to now gush forth at an angle, and as you climb up the hill to watch, you see layers of dirt, silt you remember it being called, be deposited across the expanding, steaming rock.

9/10 Focus
1/10 Stress

A hill has been made, you now stand above all and all you survey is fire, and potential.


You then start lacing the hill with veins of iron, copper, all the metal you can remember that don't need advanced machinery to process and forge. And you are reassured that even if time starts up again in here, that the supply is infinite.

8/10 Focus
1/10 Stress

There are no riches in the rock, but food production my be hampered. It is a balancing act.


Your attempts to create grass result in a dark scrub the colour of dried blood, and somehow you cannot really grow much food-producing plants now, but you manage to create what could be the only plantlife that can now be called native to hell.

It is a thorny bush with dark, fleshy leaves that grows large berries with white skull-shaped markings on the bright-purple skin. The taste is sweet and the seeds readily grow in the poor soil of your little realm. Assured of some kind of food supply, you lean back and enjoy a feast.

6/10 Focus
1/10 Stress

Food is now assured.


Now, you plan your next moves.
[]Write In:




Somewhere, rain falls and boils away on a distant corner of the Lake.

The spreading rock halts, it has reached the limits of growth without a true Region being created.

A little island of rock, small and unassuming, has created the first blasphemy against a story that has already ended by Divine Will.

A New Beginning.
 
Okay... @Gideon020 Can we increase our maximum Focus by having Stress double our Focus so it's greater than our original cap?

Also, I assume that you missed my action to add Crystals to the ground?
 
Ah, I get that now... Thought it worked a bit differently...

[X] Well, you thought of it but never got around to it... or maybe you haven't yet. Lack of time gets weird, but does mean you can do a lot of things without worrying when they happen. Either way... 'Time' to create some formations of [Crystal] and [Gemstones] along the edge of the stream from the spring. Not the entire edge, just a few here and there.
[X] Hmm, looks like growing plants might be a bit of a problem right now... So let's increase how deep the dirt is on the land around the hill, and then see if we can't get some trees to grow then.
[X] Also you just realised something. You have dirt and silt, but you haven't gotten any [Clay] yet. Let's have some added to the stream bed in places.
[X] You have a form of grass 'growing' right now... and some bushes with berries. Perhaps you could see if you can great some cereal grains and more? Priority is on creating something like [Wheat] or [Barley] for the areas further from the streams of water. As well as something to be equivalent to [Rice] along the edges of the stream.
[X] Dump your currently remaining focus into permanence for the land you've currently created and the things on it, before resting for a 'while'. Time to do something a bit risky...
[X] Creating a sapient lifeform has 'currently' proven to be... extremely problematic. What about creating non-sapient life? See if you can create worms to churn the soil, insects to feed on each other and the plants, small animals to eat the insects, worms, plants and maybe each other such as mice, moles, finches, ferrets and more.
[X] If you succeeded at the 'previous', continue creating life. Fish and amphibians in the water, aquatic insects to feed them, plankton and the like, snakes and lizards... go wild, just avoid anything that's able to actually seriously harm you for now, so nothing too big, and no venoms, poisons or toxins that might harm you. Each other is okay you suppose.
[X] Okay, a lot of the basics have been established if you've gotten this 'far' down your list of ideas... But it's just the basics. See if you can add more things like flowers, vegetable plants, fruit plants and more. Just... add more variety to what you've already created.
[X] 'Finally', begin to terraform the landscape you've created more drastically. Measure the size of the area you have, then add in small lakes, more small hills, maybe a cliff or two. Hell, add in more streams and a couple of marshes as well as making sure that there's a forest or two... Nothing too big at this point though, just getting a few areas of different environments established to experiment with further. Oh yeah, if you're going to do that... probably best to create a bit of [Desert]. Perhaps on the edges where your area meets the [Lake of Fire], with the bits that the streams travel through becoming [Floodplains]?

[X] If at any point your total [Focus] doubles or major problems occur, stop to think on things more.


Okay, pretty sure I kinda went over board here... but just wanted to push further on, and really right now I'm just wanting to until we can double our total [Focus] so we can start thinking about making a large [Region] seeing as the current total size for a [Region] is either 10km across or 20km. Mind saying if the 'Size of a Region is equal to your Focus' means the Focus is the Radius or Diameter of the [Region] Gideon?

Radius in kilometers with you as the center.
 
Thanks, that makes things easier... And is the 'Regions can't be expanded' just a 'We can't pump in Focus directly to expand them so we have to look for other methods and then add Focus to stabilise the increased size, as long as it's still as larger or smaller than our Focus limit' or a 'Once a Region has been created, it is permanently limited to that size, full stop, no exceptions.'?

Guys? When do we want to make the first actual 'Region'?

Once you make a region with your current Focus, that's it. Any Focus invested becomes Permanence which is used in the next stage of the quest.

Which will be when your character also gets a face, gender, perhaps a name.

... I find it ironic that I looked over what I posted a bunch of times and didn't find any problems... but then I read your copy of my vote Shadow, and see a bunch...
 
Well I am using phone so that could be it, but I've been wrong before.

Oh no, not a problem with what you posted. More meant that when I looked over my post, saw no problems, then you post and I discover a bunch, that are also in my original post that I'd somehow not seen earlier despite looking for that sort of thing...
 
Please dont make it a RP but when you do can we have votes for the creator and votes for our player characthers
And is this a RP where we must write everything ourself?
