Right, so according to the poll, most of you don't care about stopping Creation. The second-most popular answer is to fast forward, so I'll think about a GM post to write. **Edit:** The "After Creation" post is up and includes the current status quo of humanity. I took the liberty of controlling Velrus the God Of Time, as he needs to speed time up. Hopefully you're fine with that. Basically humans are vegetarian, lawful and morally good, but haven't made much technological progress, and still rely on their Gods.

Right, I see that no one is really getting a chance to do anything here, so, [here's a strawpoll I set up](http://strawpoll.me/3407294) asking your opinion about fast forwarding time to early civilization, in which humas had reproduced to the point of living in a community of about 50-100 people. Those who answered 'No' can send me a PM about it or post right here what they want to do in Creation, or what needs to be created still.

> I'm so far behind in this it's not remotely funny. I have business, ugh. I think I will just drop. I was afraid of that. That is what happens when I have an RP packed-full of people. CYA, then.

>  > > Herma-Mora, the God of Power and Prophecy > > Abilities: The ability to read the Books of Fate- which is essentially some godly artifacts that remain out of reach of mortals, with all that will and has happened already written. He knows them and acts upon what they say- he follows them to the letter, and then watches as they play out, even though he knows what happens. He grants leaders of any kind strength and confidence, reinforcing their resolve. He can nudge would-be leaders to accept that, even if they are reluctant, and he can send down a prophecy whenever a baby is born, a simply cryptic message delivered by a ball of light- his form, also known as a wisp. By giving a prophecy, he gives power to the newborn individual, and can give them the potential to use magic in certain fields. Every now and then, he may give them very great power, letting their unstable reserves do exactly what needs to be done. He sometimes drives the unworthy leaders insane, whispering in their head endlessly, the voice of Herma Mora. Because of his role as the prophesizer, and knowing pretty much everything that's going to happen, the people are much more likely to call him the God of Knowledge, simply because he knows what'll be happening, when it'll be happening, etc., even though he isn't. A long time ago, he erected a multitude of temples under the population centers where great leaders resided, placing within them a Black Book, which, when read, would take them to his realm, where they'd be tested by the servants of the long-past Powerful, and then granted insight to the future, or the next prophecy to change the world. Sometimes, they may even be rewarded with magical abilities or the extension of them. > > **Personality & Personality Flaws:** He holds mortals in utter contempt, driving them insane through whispering or through a flash of a possible future- and there are many- just because. He will make bargains with one and never break them, and make bargains with another and consume him as he would anyone else that trespassed in his realm and failed. His area is wherever power is- where there is a necromancer, there is Herma Mora, watching. Where there is a place where a great battle shall take place, that will decide the war, he will be there, influencing both sides. He holds most other gods and goddesses in differing amounts contempt, and respects few. For example, he doesn't think too highly of the Goddess of Knowledge- she cares for the mortals- and the feeling is most likely mutual. Where Herma-Mora would drive one insane, she might comfort them. He is ruthless, and seeks anything that is kept from him. But, when he takes a champion, he rewards them well, and carefully. I think it's too late for people to join.

> > Accepted. I think the "Animals" aspect will remain with Finnos. You can extend into weather, but weather that has to do with water (Rain, snow, etc). > > Thank you! But couldn't she ask Finnos to grant her the power just to create water creatures? I have some fancy ides in mind. Well, water creatures, that's alright. Shoot a PM to Finnos's forum user and sort this out between yourselves. I say "yes", but I don't want Finnos to be disappointed or mad about this transfer.

> > eh, whatever. It's in charicter, and sence I made sure it was just me who was afected it seems resonable. but I mean come on, Spatis didnt care when I through a Fecking moon at her... Artis would get bored, thats part of his charicter. :P > > Not in character. > > Velrus (God of Time) controls the time.

All time in the current realm is probably controlled naturally by Velrus. > > But that's a lot of conjecture. > > Therefore, you get the worst of Ostarion's punishments. > > He will say "Dead to me." straight to your face. Pretty much this, and GM word is law. As far as I can tell, no, you couldn't fast forward time. Even if it's subjective. Even if you can spawn a remote control from the Realm of Madness, which seems weird to me, as that it has modern technology with little to no limits, and no one gives a shit about it. Anyways, there's a time God for controlling the time in this universe, and so the most you could do is fast forward time in your Realm. And what do you mean by "subjective time travel"? "I can fast forward the future to my liking"? That's not right, this is almost Godmodding (ha, ha) territory. I need you to explain what you mean by that. This case makes me think about maybe placing some limits on your Realm.

"It was always my goal for Man and Animal to live harmoniously" is the response Balsis got from his child after praising him for the "creation" of Alpha. "Of course, it is only logical that Man would have an animal companion. Such wisdom!" He smiled and continued to tour the earth, seeing the humans befriending Alpha. But as Balsis watched his manifestations play with Alpha, he noticed a black creature circling the sky. It was much bigger than other birds, and seemed more aggressive. Balsis pondered about the aim of creating such peculiar creature. He decided to just ask him. "Black Bird!" a voice was heard from above. The black creature didn't respond, and, in fact, flew even faster. "BLACK BIRD!" Balsis screamed, and it seemed as the earth shook. Every creature stopped its occupation out of fear. The black bird stopped in place, terrified. "Who are you and who created you?", Balsis asked. "For I am Crow, created by Finnos, but altered by Slatera.", Crow replied, terrified. "Slatera? What made him alter you?" "That I do not know. Perhaps you should ask him." "I see. Anything else you wish to tell me?" "N-no..." "I do not tolerate deceit. I can and will destroy you if you will not provide me with full answers." Balsis stated, enraged. "N-no, sire... That is all!" Balsis paused for a second, and left the Earth. The creatures inhabiting it are still somewhat shocked. Balsis teleported to Slatera to recieve answers. Balsis is still oblivious to the first murder. When he confronted Slatera, his face became red with anger. "Why did you alter Finno's creation? As I said to your 'Crow', I will not tolerate deceit. If you tortured the creature, I assure you: You _will_ be put on trial and if found guilty I will _personally_ drag you to The Underworld myself!"

Prone to mood swings and temper tantrums. Like the ocean she can be calm- however at the drop of a nonexistent hat she could fly into a rage. Raising the waves in her wrath. When she retaliates its often to a cruel degree. > > **Childish**. Being a child god she is every bit naive and playful. Which reflects in her godly creations and actions. Also leads her to occasional troublemaking. Her curiosity, too, is thanks to her childish demeanor. > > **Serene**. When she is calm and not playing she is can be tranquil. At times she simply enjoys to watch what she has created. > > **Critical**. When experimenting with her creations and they fail to please her- she will often cast them aside and condemn them to some sad fate. > > (Can I extend into weather? Like hurricanes and hail and snow and all that?) Accepted. I think the "Animals" aspect will remain with Finnos. You can extend into weather, but weather that has to do with water (Rain, snow, etc).

> No, I meant that is who he is seeing. Sorry if that was unclear. Ah. Well that renders my previous complaint moot. Still, you are the child of Balsis. Everybody knows everybody else.

Right, _HaltingBlooper_, two things about this quote: > (Balsis and Finnos) "Hello, who are you?" 1. You are the child of Balsis anyways. The fact you joined up late doesn't exclude you from this fact. 2. You're putting words in Balsis's and Finnos's mouths. You can't do that. It's a basic rule in RPing, which, obviously, also applies for IRL roleplaying.
