Ascension (NH)

How to Join the Game
Joining is simple.  If you want to play, all you need to do is come up with a description of your primary character, your "god."  This being can take on any shape:  A titanic humanoid, a glowing orb of light, a writhing worm, a burst of flame.  Its personality can be evil or good, kind or cruel, funny or serious.  In general, the more thought you put into your initial character design, the more interesting your god will be to yourself (and others!)
The foundational aspect of a God is its domain(s).  Domains are the facets of Creation that a God is the 'patron' of.  These can range from large:  Fire to small: candles, and serve as a foundation for your character's growth and development.  Domains come in three 'sizes.'  Greater domains, like fire or knowledge or life, represent large facets of Creation.  Moderate domains represent subsets of these domains such as warmth or learning or plants.  Lesser domains are even smaller subsets of the moderate domains, such as candles, teachers and olive trees. 
A (not at all complete) list of domains can be found here: Domains
When creating a god, you may pick one greater domain, or one moderate and one lesser domain, or three lesser domains as your 'Starting Domains.'  You will have the opportunity later on to claim additional domains if you desire.  It is encouraged (but not required) that you try to pick domains that have not been claimed by someone else.  If you do take the same domain as a current player, think about how your two deities will interact with one another.  What will the presence of two gods of X do?  What will occur if the two deities have different opinions on how to address their shared domain?
Once you have come up with a god, please post some information about it in the OOC/Recruitment thread (LINK) and send a PM to an admin.  Your information should include the following, but may also include any additional information you wish:  personality, initial plans, dogmatic positions of believers, Titles, etc.
Name:
Domain(s):
Physical Appearance:
Divine Symbol
As soon as the administrators notice your application, they'll quickly review it to make sure nothing is out of place, and approve you to play.  You now have two options as to how you wish to join the game.  Option 1 is that you may arrange with another player to bring your god into the world in a manner and time of your mutual choosing.  Another option is to ascend yourself through some particular manner.  Both choices have benefits, but it is left to you to decide which you would prefer.  Upon joining, you will immediately get 7 Action Points (AP) with which to actuate your will.
