Introduction
"At the beginning there was nothingness, the Void. And that governing that Void was Cassius, goddess of emptiness and confusion. With her were the other chaos gods, most without name or definition. The Void remained in stasis until one Chaos God, who would come to be known as Death, ignited the powder keg and the Void exploded outward into matter, energy and form. Death ceased to be what is known to be a god, straddling the nothingness and the new universe forever. The only god ever to die.
Cassius screamed and fought against the loss of her Void, but once shot the bullet could not be put back into its chamber and out of the mist rose Infinitous, god of mathematics and physics, who shaped the universe, gave it meaning, gave it structure. And so began the second generation of gods. More came, blinking into being out of some greater cosmic need. Soon, once the universe was ready and capable, life was created, and the gods were given providence.
The chaos gods, not meant to exist in this new plane, raised hell. They corrupted, tortured and killed every living thing they crossed paths with, until the universe was a cesspool of hatred and filth. The gods tore it down, rebuilt and, in the hopes of stemming the corruption, caged the one chaos god who protested the loudest, Cassius.
From the humans arose the third generation of gods. A generation intertwined with humanity so deeply they could never seperate themselves. Ashtad, goddess of justice and order. Nyama, god of fauna. Margaret, goddess of fortune and superstition. The humans raised an empire and prospered for many years.
But Cassius would not be kept caged for very long and sought her escape through the posession of a young girl. Once loosed she riled the long-quelled chaos gods once again and brought down the human empire. The gods convened, discreetly, in a coffee shop tucked away on earth, and discussed once more ending the world. When a decision could not be reached, Nyama proposed a solution. Let the humans defend themselves.
Chilili Crow Dog, the barista at the coffee shop that night, has been conscripted to fight for her race. Each god will be given the opportunity to put her through a trial, and should she pass them all, she wins the continuation of the universe. Should she fail, she and everything she has ever known will cease."
***********************************************************
This is a continuation of another roleplay (hence the very specific intro) but that in no way means that we won't welcome new players. This roleplay has three gamemasters, and the characters listed above are theirs from the first roleplay.
This game consists of three main groups of characters, the chaos gods, the cosmic gods, and the earthly gods. They are the first generation, second generation, and third generation respectively. While you do not need to explicitly state to which generation your character belongs you must choose one and write them accordingly. The chaos gods do not fit in this state of being, and so do their best to create discord and to tear down the world. The cosmic gods do their best to maintain order, but care little for life and do not regard it as more than the sum of its parts. The earthly gods are the most human, and govern human concepts, ideas and institutions. Without humanity, they are lost, much like how without the Void, the chaos gods are lost. But the earthly gods have the distinct drawback of a lack of perspective. They are too close to humanity and "can't see the forest for the trees" so to speak.
In the roleplay, your god will posess something on earth, human or otherwise, in order to communicate with Chilili. Bear in mind that even though they are gods, if they are posessing a cat, they cannot speak english. They are bound to the limitations of the form they choose. This means only cursory powers may be used while inhabiting a body. Telepathy, mild telikinesis and some conjuring are ok, but giant fireballs and lightning strikes are not. The world functions under the same rules that the real world does: gravity, the regular animal kingdom, etc.
The story takes place in a downtown metropolis where Chilili lives and works. She has been thrown back into her normal life, with none of the other humans around her aware of what's going on. The gods are pulling the strings and presenting her with trials, showing up in her life and helping her along. The trials will happen one at a time, with each god or goddess getting a chance to try her based on their own personal beef with humanity. To avoid bias, the gods who are not running any given trial are required to help Chilili out and aid her regardless of whether they want to or not. This in no way outlaws backstabbing and deceit. Once Chilili has completed a trial, a noise will go off like an air raid siren. It's deafening, but only Chilili and the gods can hear it. On the same frequency, that only they can hear, the rules of the new trial will be broadcast. This frequency will be used to govern and will make periodic announcements, The person speaking will change. You will get access to the radio frequency once your character has been approved, but all broadcasts must also be approved, so don't structure scenes around a well-timed broadcast.
While it is not against the rules to play a human, it is greatly encouraged that you play a god. It's just more fun when we can talk to you instead of poofing away when you get within earshot since the other humans aren't in on it.

As she got there her stomach grumbled a bit, Alice (her host) Was a bit hungry clearly. She simply sighed before waving and saying "Hello again." With a smile.
"You know, some of us do care somewhat, I for one would like to see you succeed. The third universe will happen eventually anyway, and the intelligent beings in this one are interesting. It would take quite some time before the universe became sufficiently... developed. I doubt those are the reasons that you are looking for us to care about, but they are mine." She said dreamily.
"As for your question." Edelia turned to Maise "Sorry for interrupting if you were about to speak." She then turned back to Chilili. "It is mostly exactly that. Coincidences, although quite a few of us are indeed gathered here. I have not seen so many since the beginning of the second universe. And even then there were more at that time."

She doubted this temptation of simply dying was truly his test, but it was certainly A test. In the end if she accepted the offer he would no doubt not give it to her, but opinions of Chilili would surely be lowered, and it would be likely that fewer would argue for this universes survival.
This she waited watched and hoped that Chilili would not accept. She would not interfere. Although she would definitely respond once he was done with Chilili.
