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.
(Whoops, forgot to say what I do. Also you said huge flaming ball of gas, I was wondering if it could actually support life?) I come to the huge flaming ball of gas and see if it is suitable for my needs. (To make life :P)

Hello landspeeder! Thanks for joining! We'll get you started as soon as your sheet is wrapped up.

Opening even the dustiest mental filing cabinets, you search for an inkling of a memory.
This is what you come up with:
Your name is Terrok.
You are a divine being of supreme power, especially over the elements of rock and ground.
You are especially hardy and able to create new things well, but you're slightly weaker than normal and getting your point across to other people can be difficult.
You were born in this solar system many, many years ago.
Your memory has been wiped for a reason.
What do you do?

Appearance: A giant tortoise. --You have 0 points to distribute among the following skills-- Intelligence: 2 Charisma: 5 Constitution: 5 Strength: 8 Creation: 5
You hover over to the ball and see that it is massive; it's extremely bigger than any of the other planets behind you.
Arriving closer to it, the sensation of frigid cold is replaced with searing heat, which is much more uncomfortable and much more sapping of your energy.
In fact, the closer you get to the star, the weaker you feel, and the weaker you feel, the closer you get to the star. It seems to be pulling you with a force of its own, drawing away moisture and leaving you almost bone-dry.
Any closer and the heat will start to affect your health.

As you slowly come to consciousness, you feel...fine. As if you laid down for a little nap.
You shake your head a few times then look around. A vast expanse of black encompasses your entire view, dotted with flickering pinholes of light. A few spheres of rock and gas orbit a huge flaming ball of gas to your right.
All of this seems very familiar; in fact, it feels...like home. The only jarring thing about all of this is that you cannot remember anything.
You manage to recollect your name and abilities, namely those of darkness. You feel it had a part in your amnesia.

I take a good look at the fire ball. Then I start going over to it. On my way I try to figure out my past and remember.

I like it!
Let's get that element cleared up, then you're good to go.

On your way, you can remember nothing but the feeling that your memory was wiped for a reason.
As you get closer to the fireball, you notice another beast being slowly drawn towards the star. Four flippers and a head stick out of a huge, hard shell on its back that wraps around its belly.
A sudden jolt of pain takes your attention away from the beast. The light and heat are burning you extremely quickly, much faster than it should. You quickly reason your powers of darkness directly clash with the intensity of the sun.
A few more seconds and you will die.
What do you do?

You glance around and see the following things: -A gigantic, flaming ball of gas -Eight planets and a ring of rocks orbiting this star in this order: *A small, rocky planet. *A blue-greenish gaseous planet. *A barren sphere of rock. *A red, sandy planet. *A ring of differently-sized and shaped rocks. *A massive, swirling gaseous planet. (Planets beyond this are extremely hard to see.) *A slightly yellow planet with enormous rings. *A blue-green planet. *A blue planet. -An infinite expanse of black dotted with light.

Feeling as though I am greater than this fireball, to prove my superiority I go towards it and blast it with flames.

I use my remaining strength to try to get away from the planet.

I run away as fast as I can. Then I try to talk with the creature.

I fly (is that the correct term?) over to the red sandy planet. Hopefully I can use my element to its full power there.
Name: Salva Gender: asexual Age: 3 years Element: gravity Personality: watchful; generally remains anonymous and manipulates stuff from behind the scenes. Appearance: variable; generally a mass of fine white threads Intelligence: 20 Charisma: 0 Constitution: Strength: 0 Creation: 5
I don't see the point of age. All gods are the same age, apparently. Well, I'm just gonna choose to have been born in the immense discharge of energy caused by the nuclear blasts. Is that okay?
ATTENTION ALL: Nerdsoft brought up a very good point. All the gods would not have the same age; some would have been birthed earlier than others, and vice versa.
If you would like to change your age to something of your preference, that's allowed right now.

You hover over to the fireball, feeling more and more invigorated as you get closer.
Getting very near to the surface, you summon fire from your core and shoot it from your palms into the sun. The beams of heat blast into the surface, but the star doesn't seem affected by it.
The longer you stay near the star, the stronger and stronger you feel.
What do you do?

You gather all your strength and attempt to remove yourself from the star's pull.
Luckily, your endurance held out up to this point, and being quite a strong god, you slowly but surely make your way away from the fireball.
You breathe a sigh of relief as you finally escape the sun's gravity. Suddenly, a hooded figure with half of his face blackened and with a dark, deep scar on the light side of his face flies over to you, about to initiate a conversation.
What do you do?

You struggle violently as you try to wrench yourself away from the sun's pull. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice the large beast attempting to do the same.
Your strength is impressive, but not quite strong enough to physically pull yourself away. You are slowly being pulled in even as you are resisting.
In a last-ditch effort to escape the star, you summon dark energy and blast it into the sun. A sudden burst of energy from where the beams hit the surface catapult you into space behind you.
You silently thank your powers of darkness. Looking to your left, you can see the same beast hovering just outside the reach of the star, apparently having escaped it as well.
You start to move towards it, hoping to find out more about yourself, where you are, and why you have amnesia.
What do you do?

(Fly, move, hover, skip - they're all fine)
You fly over to the planet and softly land on its surface. Immediately, the slumbering power of the rocks beneath you invigorate you with an amazing feeling of power. You feel at home.
This planet will do quite nicely.

Welcome to the game, Nerdsoft! Thanks for coming in here.
That's a good point; not all of the gods would have been spawned when Earth was first formed. I put a note at the top of this update about that.
That's fine; however, I changed it to 25 years; it's about when the catastrophe happened. Is that okay?
I would lightly suggest slightly redistributing your skills to have a more even arrangement. Even if it's only a point, it's good to have a little balance, as you never know when you'll need it.

I begin to start fiddling around with the soil, testing out my powers. (Like making boulders, summoning earth figures, smoothing land, etc.)
