three : method, passion, and decay

Kecklamek, goddess of rhythm.

Durain, god of progress/evolution.

Baloo, goddess of harmony/order/forethought.

Clalctain, god of creativity/improvisation/wit.

Fharron, goddess of discord/conflict/strength.

Po, god of sturdiness/consistency/reliability.

Daljaib, goddess of unpredictability/constant change.

Dalmuir, god of feel/soul/sentience. Not sapience, damn it. Look up "sentient" in the dictionary.

Together, they're called The Voice, and they weave the music of creation. Everything they create hums with bittersweet beauty, and all the creatures of their domain move to the ebb and flow of their cosmic song.

welp, lets see...

Anthyptus- the beast who speaks many voices

Parkumot- he who squishes mighty foes

Ronero- Villain who usurps the very king

Kolkolla- the chains that bind the souls

Mert- the cat who sneers at all the youth

Graukindler- king of all that is and will ever be

jHe-utsu-MhaHkeeeno- God of Sanity (the current)

Passion- the one who pulls the very heart strings

_________- the one with no name, and the end of all things

and finally

Ay- the first

The Silent Leader, God of Justice
The Hopeless Dreamer, Goddess of Pleasure
The Twisting Roots, God of Chaos
The Crushing Foundation, Goddess of Order
The Eternal Schemer, God of Void
The Apathetic Seer, Goddess of Inertia
The Unbreakable Sword, God of Victory
The Mended Bow, Goddess of Hope

I like this one. I think gods for specific species kind of pigeonholes both the god and the species.

>>368825
Basically, the gods are a band that rocks so hard, people literally worship them. I mean, that's pretty impressive.

The eight of the pantheon were as follows:

Durain-Metatros, God of Progress, Evolution, and Technology. His symbol is the Sunflower Gear

Baloo, Goddess of Order, Harmony, and Reason. Her symbol is the Balanced Scales

Kecklamek, Goddess of Rythm and Passion. Her symbol is the Passionate Note

Clalctain, God of Adventure, Improvisation, and Thievery. His symbols are the Mask and Key

The Nameless God of End, Void, and Decay. His symbol is the Shattered Shape.

Anthyptus, God (usually) of Chaos, Unpredictability, and Change. His symbol is the Twisting Root.

Fharron, Goddess of Conflict, Discord, and Strength. Her Symbols are the Crossed Swords.

Po, God of Consistency, Security, and Inertia. His symbol is the Impassible Lock.

Of these Eight, Seven immediately began to shape the world they would oversee.

One, however, arrived in the midst of a deep sleep. Which of the Pantheon was it?

baloo

>>369075
Farron.

i'm gonna go with durain, progress is always the end of the line.

The nameless god. The world will not know death until he reawakens; then, things will turn crueler, and the innocent days in the beginning will fade into the obscurity of myth.

alright, i know that this comment won't have anything to do with the request- but i can see some very radical god shenanigans with this pantheon.

Clalctain sounds like they're related to Kecklamek
and the Anthyptus/Fharron thing looks like a rivalry waiting to happen.

i can't wait for next update, seriously

Durain, lets get some SCIENCE! up in here.

Im going with Durain here. Industrial revolution HO!

Durain. Death is an inherent part of all things in the world, while progress only slowly and gradually emerges from chaos.

Durain

The Shattered One.

>>369138
Yeah, but the concept of progress is there from the beginning. In our universe, quantum particles began to join together into larger and larger structures immediately after the big bang, constantly becoming as complex as the immense heat and energy would allow. Without progress being there from the beginning, then nothing will really change between then and whenever Durain wakes. Choosing the shattered one to join the world late would be rather more interesting and rather more tragic.

Po

>>369160
But Decay has started from the beginning as and through "Progress" the world marches ever faster towards the end, using up energy and resources that may not always be replaced. And one can even argue that the void had been around even before the beginning, which would mean that the nameless god would actually be the first as well as the last god to exist.

Pic related, it's the Nameless God

In purely physical universes with big bangs, all worlds owe their existence to dead stars (the source of heavier elements).
I once the universe is created, the materials of new things still come from the remains of older things.

Progress, on the other hand, does exist at all times, but early on (apart from the big bang) is extremely slow, and only gradually starts to happen faster than on an astronomical or geological timescale.

It was the God of Progress, Durain-Metatros, who failed to wake upon his arrival. Most saw this as an oddity; others as a relief, or even an opportunity. Each, individually, chose not to try to wake him. Some simply decided to focus on filling in the rules and content of the new world, others had plans to make.

The players have assembled, and the board placed upon the table. Who shall we follow as the pawns are assembled?

Discussion Thread now open, as well.

anthyptus, or fharoon. i like chaos and discord

huh, i thought we were going to take control of the one who arrived in a deep sleep.

Kecklamek.

I think were just following this god for the creation bit.

Also one vote for Anthyptus

"...Hm? What's this...?"

"...oh! You're one of Anthyptus', aren't you? When everyone split up on arrival, I was worried I'd have no one to talk to, and that would just be tragic! And I think everyone's already starting on their own projects... This is going nothing like the first session. I don't know whether I should start making something of my own or see what one of the others is working on..."

>>369346
What's the first session?

Go peek on what someone else is doing!

>>369346
Its not plagiarism if we just take a peek. But I think we should brainstorm about things that could cause unpredictable change, like storms or tornadoes or something along those lines.

>>369352
But she's the goddess of Rhythm and Passion!

>>369359
Well there's no harm in asking for help now. even if she has nothing to do with us.

Or-
What if-
What if we made music.
Did you make music yet?
Make music.
If you already made music, I think you should make the rhythm of the seasons. Changing, yet predictable to an extent.
Also check out what everybody is doing, it's probably too early to start making life, but without life music is kind of pointless, and passion increases with more people to feel it. You could totally make the first race and stuff.

Bum. Bum. Bum. Bum. BA-dum. Bum. Bum. Bum. BA-dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum BA-dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum ratatatatatatata etc.

Yeah, music.

Music!

wait wait wait are we one of Anthyptus', or are we Kecklamek

>>369452
I think we're one of Anthyptus' little sprites, and we're just chilling with Kecklamek.

"Oh, this is the second time I've done this, created a world. Last time, though, everyone met up at the start and we had a discussion about what to do..."

"...But not this time. I guess it might be because these guys have been around longer than me. All of them have all three of their realms, and I only just got my second... and the sleeping one even has two names! I'm... kind of glad he's asleep, actually."

"Oh, Music, of course! Um, but there's nothing to appreciate it, yet... still, I'd best at least do this, before anyone takes the idea!"

[State Modification Enacted: Sound now exists in the physical realm. Cost: 20 points.]
[Kecklamek has 80 points remaining for this Phase]

"There! Music is just the organization and appreciation of sound, after all. Once a race exists, teaching them the ways of music should be simple. Though... the planet is pretty barren, now. Maybe I should do something about that, first. Even if I created a race, there's not much for them to be passionate about."

Excuse me, but must we be so unimaginative?

Our race will be the Music itself.
All interactions in a medium produce sound.
Sound waves are born and die each instant; they change as they live and interact with each other and with the environment. The more complex ones, the Melodies, can manifest themselves in the interweaving of lesser sounds; they live both in Medium and in Memory, sustaining themselves by repetition and evolving with time to better suit/coexist with their audience.

The more powerful Melodies are those who can affect animate or inanimate beings. Majority of these are Songs, although the most powerful ones are Pure Melodies, also known as Themes, performance of which produces miracles; these are associated and named after their respective effects, like the Themes of Light and Darkness, Themes of Love and Hate, etc.

Then, there is The Silence.

>>369966
yeahhhhhhhhh, that is an awesome idea. maybe the sound sprites (or whatchamathingies) live in a non physical world, made of pure ambience that co-elates and reverberates upon each other. Seeing the music, that's what we must have.

>>369966
Hell yes.

>>369966
Fourth

... Regarding decoration of the planet, if the Consonant Cacophony all names are open to debate idea goes through, we might want to supply some material basis for our Melodies' initial development stages. For example, design a tree the leaves of which take form and properties of tuning forks. This will be a veritable breeding ground for lesser Sounds.
