Name: Tathu Gender: female Appearance: Tathu has two long bowed insect-like legs that create an almost perfect pointed arch. (see the horns of the Long-horned orb weaver spider except as legs.) Atop these strange legs sits an equally as strange body, a narrow abdomen with form arms, each boasting flat hands with several tentacle like fingers, all painted in varying tones of dark blue and white. (see the Glaucus Atlanticus or Blue Dragon.) Her head merges to her body without a very obvious neck, her eyes black glinting orbs attached to the top of her head. Personality: Tathu is driven towards creation. She wants to see the world around her become something. She wants to see growth and change. She wants to see her power have a use. This has caused her to act without seeing present consequences; all she sees is how it will affect the future, not the here and now. She would willingly burn entire planets to the ground just to see the rise of power thousands of years in the future, even though it would kill the life around her, if that life wouldn’t amount to much. She is very much a power that leans towards chaos, even as she runs full tilt towards creation. Extra Powers: Tathu can see the potential of any object she touches, what it could become if nurtured and grown, and what it could become if left in rot and decay. Of course, in such an open ended world, her power isn’t very useful now, as all it shows her is endless possibilities. But, in the future, it could show her the rise of empires and the fall of the world. She just has to develop the world a little to get there. Other:
(She's like my third or fourth attempt at someone that made sense as a starting goddess. That means I've got plenty of people to use later on, but it also means it took me over two hours to finally get it right. Also it was super fun to make her appearance, I basically googled strange animals and merged two together. Of course, now I have all kinds of nightmare fuel too.)

(Hm. We could start rping but idk how much would happen just with the three we already have, especially because neither of mine are especially concerned with actually creating anything. I was hoping snowwee would come back before long but I have no idea when or if they actually will so. It's up to you really.)

Tathu stood on the surface of the planet, beneath her father's bright sky, the tips of her legs resting lightly on the ground. She observed the bare world before her and saw flashes of a distant future where all ways different. In that moment, there were thousands, no, billions of steps she could take to create any future she wanted. Too many choices, in fact. The possible futures were overwhelming. So, instead of seeing the chances, she shut her eyes to the future for a mere moment to decide what she would do. She leaned down to the barren rock and let the fingers of her top left hand brush the stone. She would begin the future now. But first, she would need materials.
(If you want to rp, here's a possible starter. I may have Tathu encourage her older siblings to help her create just because she wants it so much. If you want her to start pestering them.)

(lol sure)
Vuhasis became aware of the world around him: bare stone stretching away below, its mother's darkness to its left and its father's brilliance to its right. To say that it saw would be wrong, for it had now eyes, but it could simply feel the way the world was. After a moment, it became aware, too, of its own body. That was a new experience, the simple fact of being. Though it had existed before, it had never had a physical body; it was a thought, a concept, and nothing more. Until now.
Slowly, the entity spread its wings, testing their size and shape. It could feel the rainbow of colors that shimmered in its wings, both from its own light, and from Eus's. Twelve shimmmering wings, raised to the sky. Vuhasis brought them down around it, and rose into the air, adjusting each wing to change its direction as it swirled in a circle, testing the resistance of the wind and strength of its wings. Then it rose higher, and higher still, feeling closer and closer to its parents as the gray stone of the world grew distant beneath it, shrinking to a mere marble resting between a void of black and white. For a time, Vuhasis rested there, content in the embrace of existence. Its peace was disturbed a short time later, though, when it heard the voice of its brother inside its mind.
Come back down. Osarus sounded both exasperated and sympathetic. Vuhasis was surprised for a moment that it could understand: words were another new experience. It found that it liked them. Their meaning, less so. It was going to argue back, but it remembered that Osarus would not be about to hear it. He could only send his siblings messages, he could not read their thoughts. And so Vuhasis reluctantly obeyed, if only for the purpose of arguing with its brother in person, and allowed itself to be drawn back to the world, slowly falling from its parents' grip, until it felt the touch of stone on the feathered tips of its wings. It landed before Osarus, who lay stretched out across the stone, his body nearly blending with the ground. Settling on the ground as well, Vuhasis curled its many pairs of wings in translucent layers around its core. Narrow ripples of rainbow light writhed across the stone around it.
"I am here," Vuhasis said slowly, testing its voice for the first time. Its pitch was high, shrill even, but still had an odd bass tone that vibrated the air around it. Its voice seemed powerful. Vuhasis found that it liked it.
"You should play with your sister," Osarus commented after a moment, raising his head and turning one face towards Vuhasis. "Explore the world. Find what you can do with it."
If Vuhasis had a face with which to frown with, it would have. "I would rather be with Mother and Father," it argued. "I have no interest in shaping your world."
Osarus did have a face, and he used it to frown. "They asked me to bring you here so that you could. You should at least give it a try. Come, do something."
Vuhasis let out a sigh. "Very well." It surveyed the world around it, trying to think of what it could change. It didn't have its sister's ability to see potential, to see the paths laid out around it. Instead, it had to take a guess about what it may like to create. After a moment, its attention fell on the dancing light around it, and it found that it liked the colors. It was a stark contrast against the grayscale palette of the rest of the world. Forming a plan, Vuhasis spread open two of its wings, sweeping them along the ground. Where its feathers touched, the stone changed, becoming similarly translucent but permanently colorful.
"I'll call it gemstone," Vuhasis remarked as its again folded its wings around it, while Osarus nodded approvingly at the circle of color that now enveloped his sibling.
"Spectacular," he replied. "You have a knack for that, it seems."
(sorry it's so long lol. I had to get a feel for Vuhasis, and so I pretty much just wrote until I felt I had a good stopping point where Tathu could jump in. The gemstone thing actually was not planned, it just worked out like that.)

(Just starting with one for now. A lots going on. Let me know if i need to change anything.)
Name: Valkoinen Gender: Female Appearance: Valkoinen stands about 8 feet at the shoulder with tall vulpine body bearing six limbs and a long tail. Around her neck is a thick white mane lined with black spikes. Her face bears a slight resemblance of a humanoid shape, but beast-like features, such as a snout and leaf-like ears, are still present. Her mouth is lined with sharp fangs, and there are two pairs of solid white eyes on the upper portion of her face. Set just above her ears sprout large ram-like horns. She is capable of taking a humanoid form, but this is something she only does when she needs to fit into a space smaller than her natural form can take. Unfortunately, water can shake her disguise and force her back into her natural form. Personality: Valkoinen is fairly reclusive when it comes to interacting with others. She rarely goes out of her way to make contact with her siblings or with other sentient beings. She values her solitude and freedom, often leading her to be somewhat territorial of whatever forest or mountain she makes her home in. She has a tendency to be a bit greedy, and her alliance (or passage through her territory) can often be bribed with promises of food or precious stones. Extra Powers: Other: Valkoien typically gears herself to grow in strength, and she invests her power in gathering/growing seeds to expand her forests and stones to raise the tops of her mountains.

(Hm. I don't really see a problem with Valkoinin per se but she may be a better goddess for later, since right now there's not actually any life or anything. She seems like she'll fit in better once the world has been well-established and generally something more than just a bunch of stone. Also, all deities are about to create life if they manipulate matter and energy corrently [though, obviously some will be better at it than others] so that doesn't have to be her special power.)

(Yeah sure, she can create whatever she likes. The only thing that I don't want, creation-wise, is for gods to jump straight to really complex things like creating life. They start small, building off of pieces. So like, you start with stone, and then you make sand, and then soil. Lava and then water. And then a plant with the water and soil. And so on and so forth. But they wouldn't show up and be like "oh hey a rock, I'm gonna make a bird out of it." Not least in part because birds don't exist yet so they would have nothing to go off of. But yeah, go in steps. Think Little Alchemy lol)

Tathu felt passages change around her, time observing the actions and intentions of the gods and adjusting to it. The meer introduction of more clarity was enough to make her want to squeal in delight. She rose upwards from her bent position, her thin fingers leaving the ground. She rushed across the bare stone, her thin legs clicking as they touched the ground. Finally, the texture of the ground changed. She had found her brother, the creator of the stone, and the one who had made the ground reflect her father's light. She smiled, though it wasn't a clear smile as that was impossible without an obviously visible mouth. "The gemstones are beautiful Vuhasis. They will be coveted by many, if we chose to take that path." She complimented, looking at them for a moment before something occured to her. She stepped off the edge of the gemstones, and bent to touch the plain stone with two hands. She looked at it intently, focused on her idea. The stone shifted, heat radiating from it, a red glow sliding past her fingers. Then she removed her hands, revealing two new stones, one blinding white, another as dark as the nothingness that was their mother. "Marble and Obsiden." She named them, looking at the pure colors. "They will be treasured and used to build great things. If great things are to be built on this world." Tathu looked back at her siblings, seeking approval. At the same time, she watched the wonderful and horrible things that could be done with her creation.

Osarus smiled with his many mouths. "Already you are both beginning to shape the world into wonderful things. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with, and what your younger siblings do as well, when they join us."
Vuhasis let out a soft hum of agreement, its core swirling faster for a moment as it thought. "Yes, perhaps the world isn't so bad after all. Though, I am more interested in seeing the creations of others than I am with creating things for myself. I am not very creative," it added, its tone slightly humorous. After a moment, it added to Osarus: "Why don't you shape something as well, brother? I know you create the stone, but can you change it as we did?"
Osarus frowned, looking at the stone beneath his feet. "Hm. Very well." He used one of his many claws to scrape at the ground, tearing up a chunk of stone from the smooth surface, and gazed at it for a moment, seeming to think. Then it shimmered and smoothened into a ball, its surface becoming shiny and gray. When its transformation was finished, Osarus placed it on the ground, then stood. He stepped on it, putting all of his weight into it, and it flattened.
"...iron, I think it will be called," he said, taking his weight off of the now-flat piece of material. "It is malleable, unlike the stone it came from. It can be shaped without changing its nature."

Name:Eloah Gender: Male Appearance: he is a black mass, taking more after his mother. He is consistent with a black hole but can control if he destroys anything by " sucking" it up or he leaves it be. Depending on different Noida his shape can range anywhere from jet black to a light grey. He has ghostly like hands with no specific shape that can pick things up or handle or things. Personality: he enjoys destruction. It fascinates him that something that just stop existing and disappear forever. He won't destroy things his siblings create unless he REALLY doesn't like it or he is quite curious as to what will happen. he will scar and crack the stone his eldest brother creates, possibly paving the way for earthly structures such as rivers, oceans, and caverns. Extra Powers: Other:

Name:Bakhola Gender: Female Appearance: Initially a small, unassuming god, Bakhola is a small, feathered creature. Her body is only a foot long and serpentine. Their legs are sleek and lean, three toes on each foot, and are capable of folding back against her side so that Bakhola can slither on her stomach or run. Thick feathers cover nearly every inch of her body except for her face, which is covered in smooth black skin. Her eyes are large and unblinking, appearing completely white in most light but appear an eerie green in the dark. A small narrow snout sits high on her face, forming a smooth line from the top of her head down to a wide mouth filled with small, needle-like teeth. Her mouth can open incredibly wide, revealing a blood red throat. Her feathers are tan, with small black spots tipping each feather on her back. The feathers themselves are fairly small and fine, with the end of the tail being a notable exception, having a crest of long red feathers that are stiff and strong. Personality: Inquistive and rather nosy, Bakhola is invested in everything that goes on in the world. She is determined to see and experience all that has been created and is yet to be created to the best of her ability. However, she is easily annoyed and can be very childish in her attitudes towards her siblings, not above eating their work and destroying it to get back at them. She is most comfortable deep in the earth, away from the prying eyes of her siblings and parents. For someone so interested in the affairs of others, she is surprisingly secretive about her own creations and rarely likes to show them off to her siblings. Extra Powers: * The more she consumes, the larger she grows. Her colors grow more vibrant and her feathers become longer and more sturdy. Her feathers themselves have some unique properties and shedding them can lead to sparks of life in the soil which it burrows through, though actually making anything of it requires concerted effort from Bakhola Other:
