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.

You see the following things: *A small, rocky planet. You also sense this one is being claimed by another god. *A blue-greenish gaseous planet. You also sense this one is being claimed by another god. *A barren sphere of rock. *A red, sandy planet. You also sense this one is being claimed by another god. *A ring of differently-sized and shaped rocks. *A massive, swirling gaseous planet.

You slowly make your way over to the barren sphere. It has no sign of life; only green acidic pools of radioactive material and burnt rock.
You feel quite familiar with this sphere.

As you move the blue-green planet of gas, you notice a mass of fine white threads flying around the planet with a sphere of asteroids following it.
Even with your rudimentary intelligence, you can figure out this isn't natural and must be another god.

You tell him, "No, I haven't found any."
Something about him still seems off.

Generally just a ball with a few threads flowing out. --You have 0 points to distribute among the following skills-- Intelligence: 11 Charisma: 1 Constitution: 3 Strength: 3 Creation: 7
Are you trying to find the nearest asteroid cluster that is in the direction of the sun, or are you taking the entire sphere to do something else with it?

"What a dump," I try to gather up all the radioactive material. Then I create a giant carpet of rock or dirt or something to sweep it under. For although the Lord Glob is lazy, he is tidy.

I bid my farewell, then I head towards the nearest planet that I can find in the area.

I'm heading towards the sun with my ball, stopping to grow it whenever I find a decent asteroid cluster.

You manage to get about 3/4 of the stuff.
After making a huge blanket of dust and rocks, you push the material under it. Now you have a thin layer of ground covering underground pools of radioactive waste.
The whole affair leaves you feeling very productive, so accordingly, you award yourself a boost.
You have gained 1 skill point

I'll let you fly away for now, but if Shadow wants to say something more, we might have to reverse a few actions
The conversation with the other god left you a little more enlightened to your kind.
The nearest planet to you is the one directly next to the sun. It is a small, rocky planet.

Alright. By the time you get to the sun, you have grown your sphere to a diameter of 2 kilometers.
You sense many other gods near you: -A tasty (what the hell?) god on what used to be Earth, cleaning it up. -Two gods, one of darkness, between the sun and Mercury. -A power-hungry god, attempting to claim Venus.
Name: Salva Gender: Asexual Age: 25 years Element: Gravity Personality: Watchful; generally remains anonymous and manipulates stuff from behind the scenes. While it will converse with other gods, it almost never speaks directly to its own creations and will instead speak through puppet messengers, kind of like prophets.

I head for the ones conversing between Mercury and the sun. Assuming I get there, I keep a short distance away (further from rather than closer to the sun, of course) and yell "hello" to them. By the way

I go to the slightly yellow planet with enormous rings. (Saturn?)

Near the remaining toxic waste I plant an apple tree. That seems like a fair warning..

I immeadietly starting blasting the white threads with flames until I am completely certain it is destroyed. If I succeed, then I believe that I have destroyed the previous ruler of this planet therefore leaving it open to a new ruler. I name this planet Dave, declare it mentally a he, and then move towards the being which yelled hello at me and, thinking a new strategy could be interesting, eat it.

Well then let's get some heat in here. I begin to slowly pull the planet closer to the warm orange ball, careful not to disturb its rotation.
