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.)

I go towards the giant aquatic tortoise which asked me for help and I respond 'No, I do not want to help you, puny being! But I will offer you the opportunity to extend your existence by assisting me in my efforts to get George *I point at George* to assist me in destroying the white clump of threads.' In a whisper I say 'He's getting pretty fat'
So many errands! I'm finally back; here's the update.

Appearance: A giant tortoise. --You have 0 points to distribute among the following skills-- Intelligence: 3 Charisma: 5 Constitution: 5 Strength: 8 Creation: 5 --- PLANET: Mercury SPECIFIC REGION (if applicable): N/A FLORA: None FAUNA: None ---
You stop pushing Mercury and fly towards the sun and the creature pulling on it.
"Would you like some help?" you ask quite politely.
The creature turns and flies towards you. "No, I do not want to help you, puny being!" he shouts. He seems to have misheard you. "But I will offer you the opportunity to extend your existence by assisting me in my efforts to get George-" he points towards the sun "-to assist me in destroying the white clump of threads." How ironic; he refused your offer of help then asked for it again immediately.
This god is quite strange.
He leans closer to you and whispers, "He's getting pretty fat." He also seems to think the sun is actually a sentient being.
This guy is pretty weird. It may be in your best interest to stay away from him.
On the other hand, he did ask you for help and you did offer it.
What do you do?

Are you covering up the radioactive waste and rock with sand or will you clean up the area first?

You fly for a little before discovering a huge sandstorm hovering above a section of land.
This may be another god.

With a final push, your red planet finally has an orbit that is suitable for life.
You have gained 1 skill point

You land on Earth and start scouting for any life.
After a little while, you discover an apple tree being fed by a spring of water. A stream leads outward from the spring; a small sign reading "No Trespasin" hangs on the tree.
You determine a god must have made this; no life existed after the Blast.
After a little more searching, you see from afar a gigantic sandstorm and a a huge mass of spaghetti hovering above it.
It doesn't look like they saw you.

After the large tortoise approaches, you relay your message about George.

"I don't like this, but I'm to lazy to try and stop you. So screw you guys, I'm going back to Italy!"
I telepathically broadcast this thought to the god's as I stumble back to make some food. When I get home I attempt to plant some ingredients for pasta cause the first people might want food too.

I reply "Yea he is getting pretty big..." then make a hasty excuse to get back to pushing my own planet by saying "I would love to help move 'him' but I'm afraid it would burn me." (If this works and the conversation ends I would like to fly/travel back to my own planet and continue pushing)

I tell him he's really stupid and George doesn't burn you, he makes you feel great. Especially when you blast him with flames. I then attempt to physically pull the other god to George, then blast George with flames, to show him how great George makes you feel.
Been busy with Thanksgiving and whatnot; here's the update!

You telepathically relay the message as you drunkenly float back to the apple tree.
You start to create some seeds to plant food, but you realize that the ground here is NOT suitable for planting.
You also think you could always just create the food instead of planting it.
What do you do?

You gather it all and hurl it out into space. Whatever doesn't evaporate/vaporize is incinerated by the atmosphere.
You now have a clean slate of rock to work with.

You cautiously say, "Yeah, he is getting pretty big...I would love to help move him, but I'm afraid it would burn me."
As you turn to continue back to your planet, the other god shouts at you, yelling, "You're stupid! George doesn't burn you; he makes you feel great! Especially when you blast him with flames!"
Suddenly, you're being pulled by the other god, closer and closer to the sun. "Look at how good it feels!" he continues to yell.
This lunatic seems to be trying to kill you! You have to react!
What do you do?!

You make small lizards that are able to change rock into energy and food for themselves. Instead of fecal matter, the waste product is a normal blend of air.
You now have quite a few lizards converting rock to air, but very slowly.
An (better) atmosphere is forming.

This lunatic seems to think George is NOT life-giving!

I decide to scratch the whole idea and manifest a good piece of italian bread. After I finish my snack, I attempt to make the ground plant-able with fertile Tuscan soils.
