Hey! This is a reboot of my first forum game, which I will link soon enough.
Backstory: There used to be an Earth. A nice one, at that. Humans lived peacefully on it. Then came war, and weapons, and new nuclear weapons, the Earth blew up, blah blah blah. The point is, humans destroyed their own planet with pollution and war (have I mentioned that already?). You are disappointed, but you decide to try again. At what, you ask? At making a new Earth. YOU are the..."god," as those humans named you, and you want to turn over a fresh leaf. You are starting Earth's New Beginning.
All players will work together on this, managing the new human race and the new planet you have created. It's not an individual story for each player, as with most RPGs, but you and your fellow immortals have to make an Earth together. Unfortunately, your "fresh start" has made you start fresh. That means you are a fledgling god, instead of the figure of divine power you were.
Name: (Self-explanatory) Gender: Male, Female, or Nonsexual Age: 4 1/2 Billion Years. Element: Choose an element or force of nature that you specialize in. You have power in all aspects, but this element you particularly have more power in. Personality: Do you ignore insults, or immediately reprimand the speaker? Are you caring and generous or despising and miserly? This is basically where you put how you usually act. Appearance: What you look like to other beings. You have 25 points to distribute among the following skills: Intelligence: Your general knowledge. Charisma: How powerful your presence is and how easily you can persuade someone to do something. Constitution: Your health; how much damage you can take before disintegrating. Strength: Your physical prowess (even gods have limits.) Creation: Your ability in other elements; the difference from being able to create a puddle instead of an ocean.
Name: Flying Spaghetti Monster Gender: Nonsexual Age: 4.5 Billion Years. Element: All Things Pasta Personality: All knowing and all seeing. And, yay, the FSM watches over the universe guiding us with its noodly appendages. May you be covered in sauce. Aye me hearties! Amen. Appearance: Mass of spaghetti with large periscopic octopus eyes and two central meatballs. --You have 3 points to distribute among the following skills-- Intelligence: 4 Charisma: 5 Constitution: 3 Strength: 2 Creation: 12 --- PLANET: Earth SPECIFIC REGION (if applicable): Former Italy (cleared of radioactive material) FLORA: Apple tree (w/ spring and stream of water; No Trespasin sign), trees of olive, fields of wheat, various herbs and vegetables, sacred beer garden FAUNA: Leonardo (Human - Male - Health 100% - Morale 100%) ---
He replies, "Capisco. Grazie per avermi portato in esistenza, Signore della Pasta." ("I understand. Thank you for bringing me into existence, Lord of Pasta."
You lower him into the Olive Garden of Eden and he starts exploring the vast garden.
What do you do?

The atmosphere is finally conductive to rain, and a small drizzle begins to fall around you.
You attempt to create seeds and plant them into the dirt, but the dirt is starved of nutrients. The plants quickly die.

I try to get the oceans going again, or at least the Mediterranean Sea if I can help it.

Would the lizard's dung eventually give enough nutrients, or would I have to do something else?

You easily fill the great void with salty yet fresh Mediterranean seawater. Leonardo is quite amazed at your feat of divinity.
Now you are truly exhausted; continuing to create would have negative effects on your health.

Hello, thecode11! Thanks for joining! I assumed you wanted to have a Constitution of 0, so I filled that in.
Does everything look okay on your character sheet?

Something else; the lizards' waste product IS air.
@sourwhatup2: No problem! I'd be honored to have you play. Just fill in the character sheet at the beginning of this thread and we can get you started.

I go kick it in the beer garden for a while and try to make small talk with Leonardo, maybe see if he has any prayers that need answering.

Good Lord! What do you want from me?
I create more plants, expecting them to die, but it should kind of "collect" in a way so make the ground fertile, right?

The first thing you feel is cold.
Freezing, blinding, numbing cold.
You start to freeze, but suddenly a power awakens within you and melts it away. You feel...alive.
You open your eyes.
You are in the middle of a vast expanse of black, dotted with specks of light. Large celestial bodies whirl around you.

You go to relax in the beer garden, drinking, thinking, and pretty much just chilling when Leonardo approaches you.
"Um, Lord?" he mumbles while looking down. "I greatly enjoy your generosity, but recently I have started to turn red all over. Would you please give me something to protect myself? I also would like to harvest the fruits of the field, but I do not have the tools to do so."
He shyly looks up at you.

It's an okay idea, but you would need to do that hundreds of times over to fertilize the entire planet.

Okay.
Many planets share the same orbit of Earth, so you'll need to specify which planet you would like to go to first.

"Alright, alright! Geez! so needy... Here have some tools, but I should warn you, some assembly required," I spaketh, trying in all my divinity to manifest the materials required to build a shelter and some tools with which to build it.

Slightly depends on the area you want to infuse, but yup.
