There seems to be a few dozen JoPo's, is there a more accurate way to narrow down which is you?

hope there's room for one more.

<spoiler=Lliant>
Name: Lliant, Tideshaper

Picture: http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/234/5/6/waterorchid_by_ladyowl-d3ab9ie.jpg

Backstory: Lliant?s planet was one entirely consumed by its ocean. Life there was far from complex, just simple organisms rising out of the primordial soup. Nevertheless, that would change. The ancients chose to decide the evolution of life there, the planet being just one giant experiment out of many. Soon sentient species arose, including Lliant?s. In order to test their intelligence the ancients took many samples, one being a certain Lliant. Many of her species worshipped the ancients, known to them as sky-beings, as gods and so did Lliant. She felt blessed to be in their presence, but it was only a matter of time until the ancients were finished with her. And so, she escaped with the others, to a world of cold death.

Domain: +4 [Water]

Lliant can manipulate water in its liquid state. From blunt manipulation such as waves, maelstroms and diverting currents, she can also corrupt, purify and enhance water within her sphere of influence. Even creating aquatic beings is in her power.

Drawback: -2 [Earth]

The world of the drywalkers is something Lliant isn?t very familiar with, she struggles to manipulate the very ground they tread on. In short, earth is a strange, solid, immovable lump of rock to her.

Core Values: Continuing the ancient?s work in her own little way. Curiosity. The Flow.

What you want out of godgame: To have fun.

Nobody needs to add Lily on skype. Everyone does need to add me though, so I can put everyone into the group.

Name: Kora, Mistress of lies.

Picture:

Backstory:
Kora grew up in a world where lies in all forms were punishable by harsh beatings and in some cases even death. Starting from a young age she never told any lies even down to what she ate or where she was even if she would get into trouble. When she was working after becoming an adult she was struck down by someone in charge and after she ran to tell others what had happened they called her a liar and she was beaten close to the end of her life.

After almost a year of continues beatings and other punishments she was taken by the ancients because she was both a liar and someone who was completely truthful. Living through experiment after experiment under their hands she grew to both despise and love lies, becoming so adept at them that she could twist even physical shapes for brief moments.

After being moved to the special area and having even more experiments on herself she soon grew in her power even more, her talent of lying great she still looks for someone she can honestly trust even now thought she doubts she will ever truly find someone like that for herself.

Domain: +4 [Deception ]
Lies in their entirety, from telling little white ones to running a con and even to lying in how you act and look. She is the mistress of all these and more, deceiving the world into changing to do her bidding she creates physical lies to make what she chooses. Making a lie of where she is or how strong her opponents weapon or defenses is to get around or though them.

Drawback: -2 [Clarity]
Those transparent in their thinking and actions are unaffected by her and those who have clarity of thoughts can see through her lies, making them something she hates and never wishes to be around.

Core Values: Trust is the most important thing to her, even though she is a goddess of lies she values trust above all. Once broken she despises those who broke it above all others.

What you want out of godgame: This is the first time I have ever played this kind of game and I want to see if my friend is right about me being good at it so I am going to try as best I can.

Lost my life, lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams, laughing here, dying to tell you the truth
You are planned, you are damned, in this brave new world

Silverholt.

Silverholt, the last refuge on the edge of an unforgiving tundra. No mortal that has ventured past this point has ever returned. When the wind wild blows it's cold enough that even the area of Silverholt becomes inhospitable to life. Thankfully for the Nirn nomads currently there, it's not that time of the year. The spaceship that the prodigies came with crashed far into the unforgiving tundra.

Silverholt consists of a number of naturally formed ice caves, through which one can travel vast distances underground. The main attraction is the unreal beauty of the place that some mortals considers to be of spiritual importance. The Nirn mainly ventures here for the rare plants and animals that can be found in the ice caves.

Starting Location: Venari, Thumero, Era

Thucho'Iro Heights.

Home to the largest known tribe of Kaish anywhere. Sometimes even referred to as the race's birthplace, or Genesis. It used to be a lot more lush, but after the day of the dark sky much of the flora disappeared. The animals and mortals living in the vast expanse are starving, and beginning to move on to try to find a new home elsewhere.

The animals in the area are massive, even for the Kaish, which is why they often lose members of the tribe just trying to kill one for food. There's a mountain range in the east that seperates the Thucho'Iro Heights from the sea on the other side. It hasn't rained in months, and the few water sources that used to exist have dried up. It's a dying land with a suffering, but proud species.

Starting Location: Ar'Guran, Bolt

The Lucent Reef.

The Lucent Reef is named after it's glow. It changes colour depending on time of the year and time of the day, when there's a monsoon it glows dimly in all the rainbows colours. The reef surrounds a number of islands and one larger peninsula. It's possible to walk from one island to another if you know how to navigate the reef.

The Feyeath have gotten quite good at traveling between islands in that way. As it's the monsoon period most of them are lazying about in the trees, trying to avoid the lightning strikes and the normally calm sea that's now in an uproar. There's no lack of fruit to eat, but drinking water is harder to come by when it's not raining. The Feyeath's often threatened by underwater predators and wild fires that could easily consume them.

Starting Location: Taumel, Arora, Gi'zeal

Steelcoast Swamp

Steelcoast Swamp is located in the middle of a massive forest and a sea. It covers the area where the two meet, running from north to south. The smells of the swamp can be quite unique, and the sounds never cease. There are a lot of insects and birds, with predators swimming in the waters.

It attracts both the Nirn and the Feyeath. It's common for Nirn tribes to travel through the swamp, as they can collect plants and materials that can be difficult to find anywhere else. It allows them to trade with the few of the Feyeath that aren't hostiles. The Feyeath makes the swamp their home. Some of the smells in the swamp are known to cause hallucinations, erratic behaviour and even insanity. It can be a dangerous place to travel for mortals.

Starting Location: Leilani, Lliant, Kora

<spoiler=OOC>When posting put the name of your god, location, their remaining Ap and mp at the top of the post.

Ar'Guran 30/30 2MP Thucho'Iro Heights

Ar'Guran slowly uncurls from the ball he had formed when he has fallen asleep. Loosening himself up and stretching his neck outside the ball his wings had formed around him he sticks it out of the shallow cave he had taken a rest in and looks around. Slowly crawling out of the cave and stretching his wings high above him into the air as he flicks his tail back and it hits the wall of the cliff behind him, cracks forming along the surface around where he hit and rocks falling down onto the ground to settle there.

Looking back at the newly fallen rocks and laughing to himself Ar'Guran turns back around and looks out over the large expanse of mountains and valleys between them he can feel the health failing in the area even though it still has life vibrant inside it. Stretching his head up and back he can feel the scales all over his neck and back resettling and their black shimmering color throwing the light from the sun above throughout the area around him before he stops stretching and settles back down. Stretching his wings again he can feel the power in his back growing as he starts flapping them, lifting himself off the rocks he is on and as his wings beat hard they lift him into the air higher.

His wings sending small tornadoes of air out under him as he climbs higher and higher into the air he starts circling as he flaps, his body almost streamlined itself as he settles into an easy rhythm as it brings him closer and closer to one of the higher mountains that had caught his eye before. Straightening his flying out and heading towards one of the peaks of the mountain range he lands heavily and his breath huffs out in an explosive breath as he lands and his claws grab onto the firm stone digging gouges from it. Holding onto the top of the mountain and looking out over the valleys below he can feel pinpricks of life all over them, both thinking and not.

As Ar'Guran holds onto the mountain and looks down words leak from between his curved fangs into the air, almost staining the air with its sound.
?So much life, so many things clean and pure. I will have to change this slowly, taking some of these for my own.?

He keeps watching them from his spot on top of his mountain, his eyes sharp and watching from where he is everything that moves below.

Bolt: "I hope that works"

(Bolt said with a smile on his face)

Bolt: "ok I'm going to see the land Mrs.Flower. I'll be back in a little bit"

(Bolt left the hill he called his home and started to walk around seeing the poor land when he saw something in the sky).

Bolt: what the ancients is that. I've never seen a flying creature that bi..."

(Bolt eyes started to widen As a thought started to come to his mind)

Bolt: "oh my god is that... Ar'Guran"

(tears start to roll down his face)

Bolt: "Ar'Guran! Ar'Guran! Ar'Guran! It's me Bolt."

(Bolt keeps screaming Ar'Guran name as heads to the mountain he landed on).

Lliant - 27/30 AP, 2MP - Steelcoast Swamp

Salt or fresh water, it didn't matter, any water was a welcome sight.

Her heart leapt with joy as she dove into the swamp's dark waters. It was a stark contrast with the landing site: warm, full of life, and - most importantly of all - water! Not the grim hard stuff locked up in ice. Actual water. The fact that it was teeming with life was just the cherry on the cake. Lliant hadn't felt such joy in a long time, having been cast off by the blessed sky-beings and forced to chose her own path. However, Lliant had reasoned the sky-beings had simply decided that she was ready to continue The Great Work.

But she didn't need to cling to that for now, swimming alongside the strange things which lurked in the swamp's dark depths was simply exhilarating. Even when that one sunken boulder turned out to be a coelacanthic monstrosity!

Running on reflex, with a flick of her tail Lliant was out of harm's way. That frightful encounter marked the end of the day's fun and games. Lliant hid in the rushes, tailing the fish behemoth. What was it the ancients did? Choose a species and give them the blessing of perfect. Yes... She would bring the joy of being compleat to this strange world and its mortals. But where to start? Well, there was the large specimen in view. Lliant internally debated the consquences, only to come to the conclusion that they didn't matter.

She knew of many creatures of the deep, of what monstrosities the ancients engineered in her homeworld, but not how they went about it. Lliant had some life-shaping talents, that had been proven in the labs, and used it, encasing the large creature inside a cocoon of water. What came out of it depended on whether Lliant's efforts were enough.

<spoiler=Action> DC 9: Creating or altering a one-off living creature bigger than a blue whale.

Turn the giant fish into this:

Un'dwfn, Guardian of the Deep.

basically increase its size as far as the water level will allow and increase its resiliance and make it utterly loyal to lliant

Gi'zeal - 28/30AP, 2MP - The Lucent Reef

Gi'zeal Took a bite from the fruit savoring the sweet taste before throwing it over his shoulder to the creatures bellow. The rain crashed through the few leaves above him onto his perch in the upper treetops, soaking him through as he watched the tribe of Feyeath mill about beneath him. For three weeks he had watched them gather fruit in this grove between the long beaches and mighty sparkling cliffs and something had become rapidly apparent. They were primitives, complete primitives. Not even worthy of the term savages, no weapons, no trade, only rudimentary shelters. Back when the ancients had provided such things it had always been easier with creatures that had invented war, or better yet banking. He was going to have his work cut out for him with this lot, fears and hungers were so much less fun to work with than greed and rivalry.

Sighing Gi'zeal grabbed another fruit, this one ripe to bursting. On the other hand these trees showed real promise. Sweet fruit that fell almost as fast as the rain, and branches that blotted out the sun. These trees were the prime athletes of reproductive competition and with a nudge in the right direction Gi'zeal could see them making it to the big leagues. He reached into their genes that screamed "Grow larger! Sweeter fruit! More flowers! We must survive! Our offspring must survive!" and turned up the volume.
DC7 AP2-Enchant an area the size of a village or neighborhood. cause the grove on my local island to grow far taller and produce larger fruit far more rapidly

KORA 30/30 AP, 2MP, Steel Coast Swamp

Kora slowly wakes up as she does every day for as long as she can remember in her swamp but today was different she thought she woke up but she was still dreaming one of her reoccurring nightmares that seemed to only ever happen when she was beginning to feel safe her first night after the landing.She woke in the dream on one of green slimy vines above the swampy water.She closes her eyes for a while just listening and taking in all the new sounds as if she had never actually been there before a new environment thinking to herself its been ages since she heard something other then the cold silent rumble of the ships engine or the screeching of the strange shiny tools they used on her as she screamed for her life to the point where she wished for death every single day. Never the less that was all over now .... At least she hope.She knew in her heart that she would do anything and everything in her power to NEVER return to that ship of horrors the only place she came to know that death would be a gift a place that she lived in for so many countless terrible days.

While she was recalling this terrible memory she let a blood curdling scream out and started thrashing as if she were reliving her past until that vine she was caught in broke in half and she went falling into the deep murky water below she kinda of just paused as she was in the water not really realizing that she was still alive until this burring feeling in her lunges made her realized that she still needed to breath and swam to the top and pushed her head above of the water gasping for the air she so much desired.Breathing heavy she swam around looking for a place she could exit that water it was getting kinda late and she wasn't one who wanted to get involved with the creatures that only came out into the water it wasn't really her element.She swims to a tree that looked pretty stable she focused her power to jump out of the water and onto the tall branch, after a few seconds of enough thought her wet body flue out of the water onto the branch she wanted to. As she sat on her branch drying off in the golden radiant sun she saw a darkish figure in the water approaching her tree fast not really knowing what it was she stood up on her branch and got ready to fight the unknown creature, until she slips and falls back into the water but this time the plants in the water seem to come alive and grab onto her holding her under she thrashes around trying to break free from these restraints hope the figure would have pasted but the figure was still coming fast upon her she somehow knows that this is very bad situation she needs to get out of the water fast.

Kora wakes up screaming covered in sweat her hair sticking to the back of her neck as her heart beats loudly against her chest.Her plus racing as if she were just in a fight for her life .She always has the same nightmare she cant get over the feeling of herself drowning like she needs to breath of having to jump out of the water with all the strength she possesses but she no long needs to breathe or jump those are mortal necessities.Shes a goddess now and forever shall be but, her mortal memories seem to still haunt her.She stretches out slowly on her bed made of soft fuzzy moss from the swamp trees and long leafs as blankets trying to calm her pulse and relax but its not really working that well.So Kora decides to walk to her window in her make shift house above the swamp water and look out over her view of her swamp sighing slightly as her heart rate finally calms down at the sight of her home smiling softly at the morning rays of light hitting the water below her house,"home sweet home".

Thumero - 30/30 AP, 2 MP - Silverholt

Much time had passed since crashing on this planet, and while the constant numbness of his extremities had made survival difficult he had held up well. He could eaily move his limbs with his mind, but it was much simpler to lift his entire form and hover through the passages. Much of the caves reminded him of his old life with flickers of something greater that dwelled deeper within, and yet he could not find it no matter how far he went or how many orifaces he found in these frigid lands. It was one of the first few things he did on the first day along with testing for what was safe to eat and what was not. There were also times where he had channeled the psionic energy within him into various crystals that he found in the caves; all the chemicals and experiments done to him had built a well of power that almost threatened to consume him and that power had to go somewhere. He had been doing this as much as he could in order to keep his reserves tapped yet have enough to move around and defend himself if the need arises. And with the sudden changes in the caves, the thought was looming to reality.

Six days since his arrival he saw the Nirn-folk and how they sought out the caves for reasons that had made his curiosity on the caves blaze even greater. Yet as he delved deeper the Nirn's routes had very recently started to change and veer off from their usual areas. It was like they were looking for him, and yet have no idea what they were even looking for. And he did not know why the Nirn started to search more thoroughly.

Thumero shall create a psionic mineral charged with his own power dotted thoughout the caves; should be a Paragon-tier mineral with difficulty of 9, & [+4] Psionic applies here I think, though I'm unsure of the diffficulty. Also, let's have a party of Nirn in the caves if that's alright.

The crystal itself is imbued with Thumero's runoff psionic energy, making it glow in an unnatural but alluring color. There's no outright creation of these crystals nor a chemical transformation; basically discharging psionic buildup into an established mineral, giving it a glow. People who come in physical contact may not notice any immediate changes but over time being exposed to the light and engery the crystal radiats people begin to develop budding powers by said energy slowly seeping into them. That process slowly but gradually drains each crystal until the energy is depleted. The idea of gathering crystals and continually drawing off their energy to augment their own powers is not impossible but it still requires a long time to successfully soak up that energy. Thumero cannot use this energy himself nor draw from it to augment his own power on account that the power came from himself to begin with, that such a practice may more likely than not damage his brain or otherwise act as if he had taken high doses of methamphetamine or cocaine.

Along with the Thumero's psionic runoff are partial fragments of what little he remembers - vague images and sounds, sudden urges or instincts, quirks to the senses, junk in lack of a better word. The more energy they draw from the crystals, the more powerful their psionic powers can be, and the more 'junk' that clutters their mind.
