[QUOTE="Obly99, post: 8677468, member: 7035194"] A bit of info on my setting (which unfortunately I am not very proud of): let's take the cat out of the bag, I am the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being is me, approx. Let's clarify: I created my setting years ago when I was still quite new to the game and I took everything in the manual as gold standard (what I said in this post would never have crossed my mind then [[URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/really-really-big-barely-divine-star-snake.689326/post-8667292']Really really big barely divine star snake?[/URL]]). CREATING A SUPREME BEING There is no Supreme Being Template. The supreme being is merely an extension of the Games Master and as such requires no stats. I interpreted this writing at the time as the Supreme Being is the PC of the Game Master. What cemented the fact was that I tried to have my players meet one of the Aspect of the Supreme Being to see how they would react. If he didn't like it, then I would have avoided putting it back in the future and probably would have created a separate Supreme Being like Tychen for Beefermatic. My players liked it. Since then it has been more or less official. The Supreme Being itself does not exist, its various aspects exist which are fragments of personality and concepts (read my PCs from past campaigns, with each aspect they represent linked to their personality, history and powers) and with the players like Omega. I can literally control everything in my story ... except them. That bunch of madmen who are trying to dig new definitions of the Chaotic alignment (mainly Chaotic Random, Chaotic Chaotic, or Chaotic Stupid) more than once have totally derailed any plan for me. They met Alpha (CE Aspect of Arrogance, Chaos, Madness and Pride), Lisk (CG Aspect of Good, Death and Regret), and Pandora (NG Aspect of Hope). The fact that I favor Hyperboreans is partly due to the manual as well. THE END TIMES The End Times, is known by many names: the Apocalypse, Armageddon, the Day of Reckoning, Doomsday, the End of Days, Ragnarok. But all ultimately prophesise a war that will herald the death of the gods and the ascension of mankind. In a way it could also be seen as a metaphor for when mortals no longer need gods, with their 'ascension' more a case of them guiding their own destiny. Immortals of course, take steps to delay their eventual doom and prolong their existence. But at best they can only postpone the inevitable, not avoid it. In fact I would favor them even without them as I see the divinity as failures from the base having to depend on other creatures and sources (the quintessence) and as soon as they take them off you go down like a sack of potatoes. True power only works when it is truly yours. Then comes the fact that 99% of them are bloodthirsty psychopaths which makes me evaluate whether to give way to a Supreme Being not me, I should perhaps leave it to Gea, the daughter of the Lisk Aspect (she is a First One with Double Death/Earth/Good/Life Portfolios).
