Default Re: Gods in emptiness- Status

Name: Noth
Personality: Not exactly evil but far from nice. Noth is very egoistic and loves to manipulate everyone around him. If he was a human he would likely be diagnosed as a psycopath. Being the god of deceit he is of course very skilled at hiding his true personality from the world. Most other gods consider him a charming, friendly and helpful individual although some of them have learned their lesson.
Appearance: Being the incarnation of trickery and deceit Noth does not possess any true form. Instead he shifts from one form to another to suit his current needs. His standard form is a beautiful young man with blond hair and green eyes.
At the moment his shapeshifting is limited to human forms but this might change as he grows in power.
Domain: Deceit
Goals: Like many gods, Noth dreams of power. But to hold power himself is often dangerous and he prefers to establish a system where he's the power behind the power. Visible only through his actions.
Current short-term goal: Discovering what power the two pearls hold. Oh, and surviving the wrath of two betrayed gods.

Accomplishments:
The shapeshifting and illusion-casting Nothans (current population: 49)
The Valley of Wonders - a small valley imbued with Noth's illusions. Whenever someone enters it, they see what they want to see (subconsciously, they can't control it) and if two or more people enter it at the same time, they'll probably see totally different things. When someone comes close to the valley they subconsciously feel the urge to explore it.

Default Re: Gods in emptiness- Status

Name: Balthazon

Personality: Balthazon is even tempered and good natured, though his trust is earned, not given. She aids those who are too weak to aid themselves, or those strong in heart and pure of deed. His commitment to chivalry and refusal of underhanded or dishonorable tactics is reflective of her domain and may be considered weak by some. This does not mean that he is weak, and in open warfare on the field of battle, her tactics are excellent.

Appearance: Balthazon appears to each race and culture as a young adult, in good physical shape and modestly attractive, of whichever gender and/or caste traditionally assumes the warrior role in that culture. He is usually seen wearing heavy armor and carrying a sword and shield or similar traditional "knightly" setup. That is unless seen in her third aspect of the farmer, in which case he wears simple hardwearing clothing and carries a sturdy farming implement, though still with a weapon slung on her belt.

His symbol is a shield with an ear of wheat emblazoned upon it.

Domain: Chivalry

Accomplishments:
Created a grassland, filled it with water, wheat, antelope style beasts, wood, stone, iron, and a tribe of amazons, 108 in number, and has given the women vast strength (equal to D+D strength of about thirty)

Points:
God points: 0
Divine points: 0
Worship points: 7

Name: Adoxin the Temporal Noble
Personality: Adoxin is a being of entropy, believing all must end and all must be reborn. In this sense he is fickle, but also forgiving. He messes around with time to bring and avoid the cycle. His reasons for doing so are mostly driven by his wild mood, but also from an experimental outlook.
Appearance: Adoxin appears in the mortal realm as a bald, blind man of average build, though rather short (5'6"). He wears simple dress, not wanting to grab attention to itself. In the gods realm he looks similar however, he seems to be in silhouette.
Domain: Time
Points:
God Points - 0
Diving Points - 0
Worship Points - 0

Progress Report:
1 GP - Adoxin creates a lush forest, with a small lake at it's centre.
1 DP - Enchant the lake to make it primordial, a hotbed for new lifeforms.
1 DP - To enchant the primordial lake as to never degrade from its current state.
2 DP - Enchant the forest twice, thus to make it overgrown.
1 GP - Make 10 Tardigrades to live in my primordial lake.
1 DP - Increase the Tardigrades procreation rate, done by enabling them to bifurcate. (1 day to reach adult hood, then 1bpd [bifurcation per day] after that. Tardigrades on average live for around a decade)
[Convert 8 WP into 2 DP]
1 DP - Enable the Tardigrades to feed off of time itself (if needed I can go into detail how this can be done).
1 DP - Give my Tardigrades sentience, with a hive mentality.
--Update--
1GP - Adoxin makes the Tardigrades incorporeal, taking them into time. They can observe the real world, but no longer interact, nor be interacted with. NB Due to lack of degradation of cells they are technically immortal.
Hive mind names themselves: Animalia Ecdysozoa Panarthropoda Tardigrada Temporis, the Prodatemps for short.
[Conver 4 WP into 1 DP]
--Update--
1DP - Increase the Prodatemps growth rate by ten fold. Maturity in 2h24min, 10bpd (bifurcations per day).

Name: Nixe
Personality: Nixe is much like the sea she so favors, she is both petty and fickle and can go from being a motherly figure to an ill-tempered temptress to a full blown calamity in mere moments. If you stay on her good side she will share with you the wonders of the sea, but cross her and face the deadly wrath of the abyss.
Appearance: Nixe is short and lithe, her light sea green skin is covered in a variety of sea vegetation. While she is humanoid in appearance she usually takes on several aquatic traits that depend on her mood, when she is peaceful she takes these traits from more docile creatures, when she is in a rage, she takes them from predators.

Just bumping the thread so that new players (or old players who haven't done it yet) remember to post their gods and their accomplishments here. Also, the list in the start of the thread could probably use an update if it's going to be useful.

Name: I

Personality:

I is somewhat moody and is persuaded that she will always be right. Quite short-tempered she gets snappy very quickly and dislikes anything that isn't to the point. It seems she feels that time is definetely something precious that shouldn't be wasted with unecessary curtesy and politeness. She dislikes comformity, is generally pessimistic and takes great pleasure out of sarcasm. Not much is known about where I comes from, although there is much speculation that I and H are actually related and possibly siblings... which have taken very different paths in life.

Appearance:

I is always seen in black robes, her appearence and mood generally denotes darkness. It seems almost as if she absorbs all light . The only thing one can certainly discern in the darkness of her appearence is her eyes which are unexpectedly golden. This contrast makes her eyes striking to anyone who -she lets- stare into them.

Domain: Darkness

Points Remaining:
0 GP
1 DP
7 WP (converted 4 WP to 1 DP)

Goals:

To bring Darkness to all and show the beauty that dwells in the Night.

Accomplishements:

1 GP : Learnt all spell in the illusion repertoire
1 DP : Delve into the stone of H
1 DP : Fortify the stone as a whole
1 DP : Change 5 Luminati into Obscurati
1 WP: Teaching the Obscurati to grow Black Truffles
2 DP : To make both the Luminati and Obscurati
