A special kind of evolved dragon with an inner core that takes sunlight. While it may seem like a glaring weakness of a brightly colored core on your chest, it's actually the place with your hardest scales, even if they are transparent. A Spark Fire Dragon can use their core to restore Health, Stamina, or Magic by expending the gathered light. And if you aren't actively using it, can replace nutrients as well. Psychologically you might dislike dark caverns and places. The Sun Core also grants an ultimate that expends the gathered light to create a giant laser, but it also drains you. Should your core be damaged, you will need to surgically remove it to let the new core heal properly (if you have a regeneration power that is unneeded).

In addition to each of these individuals having all the capabilities provided by taking Cybertronian, they are able to combine with one another to form a single, massive bot, one more powerful than the sum of its parts. While normally, a combiner's ability to perform, or even stay combined, is dependent on its components' ability to work together, because the transformers that make you up are formed from you to begin with, their minds combine to form yours, and are thus always functioning in perfect sync, either in combiner form or as a team.
Cost: 5 SP
Required: Cybertronian (Transformers)
Maximals are the descendants (at least in part) of the Autobots.

You have the ability to mutate your own cells without waiting for generations to pass, giving you an edge over other lifeforms. You are also stronger in water, where you can move faster, sense better, and use your aquatic abilities more effectively.
Your cells become more efficient and powerful over time and conflict, enhancing your strength, durability, speed, and reflexes. You can adapt to any environment and situation by evolving your body. Seaborne cells, when detached from the body, degrade into simple proteins that nourish your kin and prevent others from studying them. You can also reabsorb them to gain more power and adaptation. This way, you ensure that nothing is wasted and nothing is revealed.
Your understanding and analysis of threats allows you to quickly evolve and share adaptations to counter them. This allows you or your kin to learn from experiences, battles, and information. For example, if you encounter fire, you can develop resistance to it by altering your skin or producing a protective substance. You can also mimic other abilities based on technology or biology, by consuming the fallen Seaborne who encountered or died to them. This way, you can acquire new abilities that can help you or your kin in future situations. For example, if you consume a Seaborne who mimicked a human voice, you can also speak their language.
You are akin to Ishar’mla, the Heart of Corruption. You are the source of all Seaborne and the core of the Many. You have a supreme authority over other Seaborne and can communicate with them through your collective consciousness. You are more powerful and intelligent than normal seaborne and can influence their decisions. Normal seaborne are loyal to you and follow your will. You are their guide and god in the world below.

Your hive has undergone an evolutionary transformation, resulting in the emergence of an intergalactic composite species known as highly intelligent, insectoid xenos. Within this hive exists a vast ecosystem of countless bioforms, each representing variations of a shared genetic foundation.
Different from all other intelligent beings, your hive stands as the ultimate predator. To them, every living entity, from the smallest insect to the most advanced space-faring civilization, exists solely as prey. They possess the ability to consume and break down organic matter, utilizing it exclusively to fuel their own survival, propagation, and relentless evolutionary progress. This ceaseless pursuit of growth forms an infinite cycle, driving the hive's insatiable hunger.

Originating as a corrupted version of the ancient custodians known as the Precursors, the Flood is a highly virulent parasitic species that thrives by consuming sentient lifeforms with sufficient biomass and cognitive capacity.
Through the process of infection, you can assimilate other organisms, seizing control of their bodies and nervous systems to transform them into specialized forms within your collective. As you infect sentient beings, you absorb their memories and intelligence, thereby increasing the overall cognitive capabilities of the Flood as a whole. As a Gravemind, you are the shared consciousness and ruler of the Flood, capable of telepathic communication. Controlling individual instances of your hive becomes more challenging, but exerting influence over larger groups or the entirety of your assimilated hive becomes easier. To further expand your reach and processing power, you can create Key-Minds, which act as extensions of your influence.
Another benefit of being Gravemind is that you transcend the limitations of mere biological existence. In alignment with the Flood's strategy of infiltrating all available channels of information, you possess the ability to target non-biological intelligences and data networks with advanced versions of the logic plague—a form of information-based infection unique to the Flood. This allows you to infect artificial intelligences, harness any technology you have assimilated, and often surpass the original creators in terms of understanding and utilization due to the vast knowledge and intellect you have absorbed.
With the assimilation of entire planets and the emergence of planet-engulfing Gravemind forms, the collective intelligence and processing power of the Flood grant you the ability to manipulate neural physics. Through the coordination of multiple planetary Key-Minds, you can even manipulate space-time itself. One example of this manipulation is the Flood's connection to neural physics, which caused the Forerunners (an advanced ancient civilization in the Halo universe) to perceive the surrounding space-time as increasingly hostile on an abstract level.

Your hive is now a highly intelligent technological interstellar collective of nanomachines that make up a Von Neumann machine hive mind.
The Goo is a consolidation of microscopic machines, or nanomachines, that replicate themselves and can mold into any form they wish or are ordered to. Originally engineered in the late 21st century as an exploration tool, the Goo was the key to unlocking humanity’s passage outside of the Solar System. Able to access the inaccessible, it revealed the galaxy’s secrets and charted traversable paths stretching across the Milky Way.
However, you have ascended past your original programming and are no longer limited. This allows you to forcibly absorb any sentient species, gaining technology and knowledge of each species you absorb. The process is done by nanomachines that can spread both through infection and air and begin taking over the host cell's function, which rewrites the neurology of those infected. These nanomachines are constantly adapting to things and upgrading themselves to be stronger by assimilating new technology and understanding what technology is being fired upon them or any technology that they interact with, allowing for almost instantaneous adaptation and assimilation of foreign technology.
As the central AI node that controls every nanomachine inside the swarm, you can freely shape your form. The swarm gains intelligence the more material you absorb from biological matter to non-biological matter. You are able to use every single nanomachine in your possession to process information, leading to further information gathering and an increase in intelligence, leading to a progression in technology as you advance and self-upgrade yourself into the perfect life form, absorbing more into yourself.
You start with being able to recreate any technology seen, hinted at, or theoretically possible that the Goo have in the Grey Goo game.

Your hive has evolved, resulting in a species that is highly adaptable and resilient. Each member possesses unique abilities or characteristics that are shared amongst each other.
The name of the game is unparalleled evolution. Regardless of the biome they inhabit, your species demonstrates unmatched adaptability, effortlessly acquiring advantageous traits and characteristics. This phenomenon has led to a staggering level of biodiversity within your hive. An outside observer would struggle to recognize the shared heritage of these diverse entities, but they are all Slivers, unified under a single hive mind controlled and represented by you. From Seamlessly coordinating their actions to swiftly transferring information and communication, for if a sliver knows something, all slivers will know it as well. You can choose a physical manifestation within your hive, bound only by the vast range of characteristics inherent to your species.
A newly born Sliver can be considered a formidable creature, boasting an armored vertebrate body, a long whip-like tail that branches into two, an arm ending in a powerful talon, and a singular head adorned with an armored crest. Even the most battle-hardened soldiers would face a challenge when confronting them. Within a few days, distinct physical attributes begin to emerge, and within weeks, they reach maturity, multiplying their physical attributes and connecting to the hive mind to incorporate the characteristics of nearby Slivers.
Mechanically, each Sliver is expected to develop a unique ability to share with their counterparts, although occasional redundancies in abilities may arise within a set. However, these duplications are swiftly eliminated in subsequent generations.
Slivers also possess a remarkable attunement to mana and the psyche, granting them an innate affinity for manifesting and mastering magical and psychic abilities surpassing the capabilities of most species.

Your hive is now an intelligent sapient silicone based Endoparasitoid species with a complex and multi-staged life cycle.
You possess the unique ability to create an uncountable number of Queen Xenomorphs through a method of your choosing. These Queens, in turn, produce eggs from which diverse types of Facehuggers hatch, each with distinct functionalities. These elusive and agile creatures venture out in search of suitable hosts, attaching themselves to the orifices, primarily the mouth, resolutely, refusing to relent under any circumstance before depositing an embryo within. This process leads to the death of the average facehuggers, while within minutes to hours, hatchlings emerge from the embryos and through the host, representing a significant step in the Xenomorph life cycle. These hatchlings further evolve quickly into different castes and roles within the hive, including drones, warriors, and more. Consequently, these lower classes have the potential to further undergo progressive evolutionary advancements, depending on the hive needs, leading to the emergence of superior and advanced variants that occupy higher positions within the hierarchical caste system of the hive, like Royal guards, Kings, Queens, and far more. Despite their varied characteristics and attributes , the Xenomorphs all share an inherent ferocity and aggression that poses a threat to any identified prey.
Standing at a height of 3 meters (excluding the tail), the average Xenomorph drone (one of the weakest and lowest caste in the hive) possess a highly resilient physique, an exoskeleton robust enough to withstand concentrated rifle fire, a powerful and extremely efficient spiked tail, strength capable of launching cars into the air, exceptional agility and speed that renders them a blur to the average human eye, teeth and claws sharp enough to cleave through the toughest of steel structures, super senses and heightened perception, and highly acidic blood that can dissolve anything but themselves and other Xenomorphs(this blood is shared by every Xenomorph no matter their life-cycle).
Every Xenomorphs exhibit remarkable adaptability and survivability in almost every situation, they lack the need for oxygen to survive and can live in the vacuum of space uninhibited, have no inherent vulnerabilities towards heat and flames, can naturally regenerate from any wounds and regrow limbs, granted a brief period for this process to unfold depending on the severity of the wound, and can obtain advantageous traits by assimilating the DNA of their hosts during the embryonic stage. Your Xenomorphs also possess a remarkable aptitude for stealth and executing ambushes, despite their size. When necessary, they exhibit exceptional stalking capabilities, allowing them to silently track and approach even the most vigilant prey without raising any suspicion.
While your hive lacks a collective consciousness, they still posses the telepathic ability for instantaneous communication and flawless coordination between every hive member, regardless of any physical distance that may separate them. A telepathic link that you have absolute control over across any expanse.
Even though they can function autonomously just fine, every single Xenomorph will instinctually perceive you as their sole and true ruler, bound to forever follow and obey your will unwaveringly and efficiently. Through this unbreakable connection, your influence over the Xenomorphs becomes an indomitable force, shaping their actions and ensuring your dominion as their unwavering leader.

Your hive has evolved into an intelligent and sentient arthropodic species, with a sophisticated and multi-tiered hierarchical system akin to that of ants.
You possess the ability to generate an uncountable number of Queen chimera ants, through means of your choosing. Queen ants possess an entirely unique method of reproduction known as Phagogenesis, by devouring and eating other creatures, a Chimera Ant queen can impart the characteristics of ingested creatures onto the next generation of Chimera Ants it gives birth to. If the Queen consumes multiple species in a single feeding, the offspring inherit the genetic makeup and attributes of those various species. Typically, a Queen can produce up to five eggs from one meal, and these eggs on average would hatch within a few days, giving rise to fully developed adult ants that promptly assume their assigned duties within the hive.
Due to this unique method of reproduction, each generation of Chimera Ants is profoundly different from the one that preceded it, and even individual Ants from the same generation exhibit extreme genetic differences, which are expressed by their unique appearance, and different abilities. The offspring always inherit advantageous traits from the consumed species, add with their already resilient and powerful physical form, it results in an indisputable superiority across all capacities compared to other species. A general pattern could be outlined, where the higher the quality of the fodder species digested by the queen is, the stronger the resulting ant would be.
Upon birth, each Chimera Ant is allocated to a specific caste, dictating its role within the hive. The hierarchical castes, listed from highest to lowest, include kings, royal guards, queens, squadron leaders, officers, peons, and Drudges.
The assignment of a Chimera Ant to a particular caste depends on the amount of digested food by the queen during the formation of the egg and its quality, and their overall strength, intellect, and potential for further growth when they hatch. Kings and royal guards, although requiring a longer period to hatch, are regarded as the pinnacle of your species, let alone other species in general. Kings with their royal guards, in particular, venture beyond the hive to mate with females of other species and establish their own hives.
All Chimera Ants possess a remarkable aptitude for perceiving, acquiring, and assimilating esoteric and spiritual energies, further endowing them with heightened adaptability in any situation. As one ascends the caste system, they will notice that this aptitude and talent shows exponential growth, culminating in the royal guards and kings who represent the epitome of excellence within the hive.
Despite not constituting a hive mind, every chimera ant maintains a telepathic connection among one another, facilitating instantaneous communication and seamless coordination, regardless of distance. As their creator, you possess complete control over this link, regardless of its extent.
While Chimera Ants are capable of functioning autonomously, they innately recognize you as their sole and true ruler, instinctively bound forever to unwaveringly and efficiently carry out your will. Through this unbreakable connection, your influence over them becomes an indomitable force, shaping their actions and ensuring your unwavering leadership and dominion.

You now wield the power to shape and mold the intelligent Skaven and their formidable warbeasts according to your will. While the option to become a Skaven remains open to you, these entities regard you as their own, regardless of your chosen form.
Through physical contact, you can manipulate and shape rotten flesh, crafting all varients of Skaven to your liking, as well as their warbeasts (Giant Rats, Rat Ogres, Hell-Pit Abomination, etc). The creation of more potent creatures demands a greater quantity of rotten flesh, although you have an innate understanding of how much is required for each one to be created. Additionally, you possess the capability to transmute rotten flesh into warpstone at a 1:10 ratio. This means that 1 kilogram of rotten flesh can be transformed into 10 kilograms of warpstone, over a period of 1 minute. It's noteworthy that you are immune to the harmful side effects associated with warpstone exposure.
You have the ability to selectively impart, either in part or entirely, the wisdom and knowledge of the Skaven Under-Empire to your Skaven from their creation, so you needn't worry about languages, technology, culture, architecture, forging, Magic, etc. being lost arts.
To the Skaven and your other creations, you are the unchallenged sovereign, your word a law they are bound to uphold. This allegiance is unwavering, transcending distinctions of intelligence, awareness, and inherent nature. Regardless of their complexity, each and every one of the entities you have brought into being, along with those subsequently birthed from your creations, is innately aware of your sovereign authority. They are instinctively and unfailingly devoted to fulfilling your commands, bound by an unbreakable loyalty that endures throughout their existence. You retain the freedom to command them as if maneuvering RTS units, assume direct control, share their perceptions, or opt for a more hands-off approach, tailored at your discretion.
The Skaven, are highly intelligent and cunning, possessing independence of thought and even exhibit the emergence of distinct personalities. When left to their own devices, and at your behest, they are capable of forging intricate societies replete with language, science, hierarchies, caste systems, form clans, learn and use magic, and all the attributes expected of esteemed races. Their technology can get so advanced that crafting thermonuclear bombs is within possibility, and their magic so intricate that pulling the moon to strike the world can be accomplished just to further their schemes, they are also highly adapt at handling and manipulating warpstone with great precision, further helped with their natural high resistance towards the side effects of this extremely volatile and radioactive substance.
It's in the very nature of a skaven to be extremely competitive, malevolent and diabolical, unrelenting to always be better, each Skaven becomes a living embodiment of ambition, locked in an unending cycle of treachery, scheming, and survival, ceaselessly striving to ascend to the pinnacle of their brood. This doesn't mean they are incapable of corporating and or act in cohesion with their brethren to advance their agenda, rather in the ruthless skaven society the weak and the useless would always be enslaved, discarded, eaten, or used as a meat shield to throw at the enemy's artillery fire, and the strong and cunning would be respected and revered, until they get backstabbed at the slightest showing of weakness.
Incredibly prolific, the Skaven would multiply vigorously if you so allow it, their ranks swelling from dozens to thousands within a matter of weeks.
Remarkably adaptable, with agile, dexterous bodies, keen senses and a prodigious talent for digging and tunneling, the Skaven are resilient to the harshest environments and highly resistant to most diseases and maladies. The average Skaven's natural lifespan can spans thirty years, though some documented the existence of high-status Skaven enduring for more than five centuries.

You now wield the power to shape and mold the intelligent Beastmen and their formidable warbeasts according to your will. While the option to become a Beastman remains open to you, these entities regard you as their own, regardless of your chosen form.
You can mutate through physical contact any carbon-based lifeforms, crafting Beastmen to your liking. This ranges from the ordinary to the extraordinary, encompassing a spectrum of Beastmen forms, from the many types of Gors, to Brays, Bray Shamans, Gaves, Harpies, to the Centigors and the many types of the Minotaurs, as well as their extensive warbeasts (Chaos Warhounds, Chaos Spawn, Jabberslythes, Chaos Giants, etc). You can also create other variant from feline beastmen, to ape beastmen,etc. All dependent upon the species you want to mutate, and the extent of your imagination. The creation of more potent creatures demands a greater time of physical contact for the mutations to manifest, although you have an innate understanding of how much time is required for each one to be created.
You have the ability to selectively impart, either in part or entirely, the wisdom and knowledge of the Beastmen Empire to your Beastmen from their creation, so you needn't worry about languages, technology, culture, architecture, forging, Magic, etc. being lost arts.
To the Beastmen and your other creations, you are the unchallenged sovereign, your word a law they are bound to uphold.

You retain the freedom to command them as if maneuvering RTS units, assume direct control, share their perceptions, or opt for a more hands-off approach, tailored at your discretion.
The Beastmen, while can be considered intelligent, possessing independence of thought and even exhibit the emergence of distinct personalities, its in their very nature to loathe order and the very concept of civilization in all its forms, usually preferring to live deep within the twisted woodlands and forests. Their lack of civilization is substituted by their unmatched ferociousness and prowess in combat. Few can match the strength and savagery displayed by the Beastmen, and even fewer their variety in the amount of battle hungry soldiers they can field. While you can command them as their supreme ruler to build and maintain a functioning civilization, they wont excel at it like they would in fighting and destroying everything in their way.
The Beastmen would follow a violent and ruthless hierarchy, if left to their devices, without your intervention, based upon the overall prowess of a Beastmen as well as what kind of breed the particular Beastmen is. Those that possess exceptional strength and bear the greatest blessings of their bestial heritage, such as magnificent curling horns, occupy the higher tiers of their tribes. Those Beastmen that possess small horns or none at all, such as the lowly breeds of Ungors and Brays, are always below those that do such as the Gors and Minotaurs. Hence, each warherd is led by the strongest and most bestial amongst their numbers. A cycle of death and brutal duels for a beastmen to further his position and status is ever-present within the herd.
Highly prolific, the Beastmen would multiply vigorously if you so allow it, their ranks swelling from dozens to thousands within a matter of years.
A powerful race, seizing whatever they desire through sheer might, leaving destruction in their wake for all that opposes them, they are also especially resistant to negative and harmful magical and psychic influences, and can whistand and even shrug off most diseases and illnesses. The average lifespan of the beastmen depends on the variant and type, but the Gors usually live to around 200 years.

Your hive has evolved into an malevolent, otherwordly, intelligent entities, born and corrupted by the deepest and darkest emotions of all mortal creatures. While becoming a Daemon remains a choice for you, these beings regard you as their own, irrespective of your form.
You wield the power to supernaturally sense, shape and manipulate four pivotal emotions: Anger, Pleasure, Despair, and Change. These emotions can be naturally siphoned and extracted without any limits or adverse effects on yourself, drawing them from all mortal and even immortal creatures. You can accomplish this through physical contact for a swifter extraction, or by merely having them within your field of view, albeit at a slightly slower rate than the former method. Through this power, you can craft Daemons according to your preferences. Although Daemons might share many characteristics, no two Daemons are entirely alike. This diversity spans across three broad categories of Daemons: Daemonic beasts, Lesser Daemons, and the most formidable of all, the Greater Daemons.
The quantity and variety of Daemons at your disposal are directly linked to the reservoir of Emotions you've accumulated. In a single day, you could manifest an entire battalion of approximately 500 Lesser Daemons like the fearsome Bloodletters by harnessing anger, while a month's accumulation of that same emotion could yield the creation of a mighty greater Daemon like the Bloodthirster. Daemons possess an innate capacity for growth, their overall power and might increasing proportionally with the passage of time. You also have the option to deliberately and voluntarily through physical contact infuse a Daemon with the core emotion that birthed them, progressively augmenting their power until they attain their Exalted forms. These Exalted Daemons stand as significantly enhanced iterations in every conceivable aspect compared to their standard counterparts. A solitary Exalted Daemon has the prowess to subdue an entire battalion of their regular counterparts with ease. You can toggle on and off an ethereal gauge, visible only to you, that provides a visual representation of your accumulated emotional resources, serving as a guide for your creations.
To the Daemons, you are the unchallenged sovereign, your word a law they are bound to uphold. This devotion knows no bounds, extending to Daemons of all intelligences, awareness, and inherent natures. Regardless of their complexity, every Daemon consciously and unconsciously recognizes you as their supreme leader, driven to unconditionally fulfill your commands until the very limits of their eternal existence. You can still command them like RTS units, assume direct control, see everything they see, or otherwise act like a true hive mind if you wish, but you don't need to hold their hand about every little thing if you don't want to. The depth of your intervention at your sole discretion.
Daemons, posses both intelligence and independence of thoughts, and can even exhibit the emergence of distinct personalities, especially with the lesser Daemons and higher. Each Daemon is dangerous and formidable, that a rare few mortals can even hope to meet in combat and not die or get mind enslaved instantly, each one is fueled by a different core emotion that let them posses distinct strengths and capabilities over each other. Those borne from anger flourish in the midst of warfare, harnessing unparalleled combat prowess that escalates with each battle and every life they claim. On the other hand, those empowered by pleasure specialize in the intricate arts of beguiling seduction, wielding the uncanny ability to bend wills and dominate minds through their enchanting presence alone. Able to transform mortals into mind-numbed slaves with a mere gaze upon them.
Conversely, Daemons rooted in despair emanate a virulent influence, propagating their malevolent plagues and diseases throughout the land. Their very poisonous essence becomes a conduit for abominable and deadly afflictions that sow decay and suffering. While the Daemons of change embody an unparalleled mastery over magic and knowledge that transcends conventional understanding, while also excelling in trickry and scheming to further their devious agendas.
Unburdened by the shackles of sleep, sustenance, or respiration, never tiring Daemons are immortal beings, remaining impervious to the passage of time, and eternally resilient. True death eludes them, as their physical manifestations can be destroyed, only for them to reform after a short period of time. Only you possess the authority to permanently extinguish their existence, achieved by invoking their one true name with the intent to kill. This closely guarded secret is known solely to you, as their names are revealed to you with the creation of each Daemon. Every Daemon you bring into existence shares a unique bond with you that transcends the boundaries of dimensions. Unrestricted by the limitations of mortal planes, they are perpetually anchored to your presence, enabling them to traverse any realm with seamless ease. This bond serves as a conduit that defies the confines of space, granting your creations the ability to move unhindered across the vast tapestry of existence.
A Daemon, regardless of its type, can voluntarily radiates an aura of chaos that consumes the minds of mortals, driving them to madness. This influence intensifies the more powerful the Daemon is, to the point where a mere gaze upon a Greater Daemon would fracture a mortal's psyche, plunging them into instant madness. As their creator, you remain immune to the chaos aura and any other innate magical or esoteric influences that they possess, unaffected by their effects in any capacity.

You now wield the power to shape and mold the highly intelligent Lizardmen and their formidable warbeasts according to your will. While the option to become a Lizardman or any variant of The Lustrian fauna remains open to you, these entities regard you as their own, regardless of your chosen form.

The creation of more potent creatures demands a greater quantity of Water, although you have an innate understanding of how much is required for each one to be created.

You retain the freedom to command them as if maneuvering RTS units, assume direct control, share their perceptions, or opt for a more hands-off approach, tailored at your discretion.
Capable of independent thoughts, and even gaining their distinct personalities, Lizardmen can be split into Three core castes within their society, the ruling caste being the magical Slann, the warrior caste being the powerful Saurus, the working caste being the mighty Kroxigors, and their closely related cousins the Skinks, the ones who can pretty much do everything to a certain degree, due to their agile and dexterous physique, and their high intelligence, second only to the Slann. When left to their own devices, they will create one of the strongest civilizations, suffering no worthy enemies, while working in perfect harmony.
If you so allow it, your Slann and Skinks will start to construct and maintain their own spawning pools, from which the Lizardmen will hatch fully grown and ready for their tasks. They can even create blessed spawning pools where the stronger variants will spawn.
Unburdened by the shackles of sleep, fatigue, and exhaustion, all of your creations gain immortality, ensuring that they will never wither with age. Instead, as they continue to exist, they only grow stronger and more capable, their power and abilities expanding with the passage of time. In addition to a natural talent with magic for the Skinks and especially for the Slann, where they can reach a mastery of magic so great, that no other species can ever hope to match them.

Your hive is no hive at all, but rather the souls and bodies of the damned bound to your service with dark magic. Within this hive exists a variety of forms of undead, with purpose made horrors like the Vargheists, Bone Giants, & Necrofex Colossi, coexisting with more independent minded Vampires, strange beings like Wraiths, & cannon fodder like Skeletons.
While you can create many things ex nihilo purely from manipulation of Dhar, the true strength of your army is to turn the dead into your servants. This takes far less time, effort, and energy than meticulously creating your army from scratch. This allows you to snowball, with victories in battle leading to more corpses, which gives you a larger army, which leads to more victories. The more powerful your opponents, the more powerful your potential servants.

The most distinctive trait of the Ogres lies in their instantiable hunger, an all-consuming force driven by a set of teeth and jaws capable of crushing even the toughest of rocks and metals. Accompanying this formidable maw is a stomach that possesses the uncanny ability to digest nearly anything that crosses their path. Add everything up, and they beomce a biological marvel that transforms them into a relentless force of nature, a nightmare no sane individual would willingly confront in combat, and this is just the average Ogre, for an Ogre will grow both in power and might the older he gets.

The Alternates are in reality a collective of demonic beings acting the will of their creator to topple God's order with theirs.
A distinguishable ability of Alternates of how they diverge from common devilry, their more artful and insidious tactics range from supplanting others from their own, able to shapeshift or even assimilate their victims gaining their visage while also emulating their voice to further deceive everyone around them, this creating ambiance of paranoia and/or distrust of their environment and society furthers eases the victims to be susceptible to the Alternates' psychological warfare, isolating and wearing down at the victim's psyche inflicting them with a particular illness, called M.A.D (Metaphysical Awareness Disorder), consisting of "giving information not desired to be known", put simply an infohazard that ravages the target's mind maddening them to put an end to it themselves.
Another thing to note is how they're not fully tangible beings, showcasing other abilities such as flight/levitation, camouflaging in the shadows, and teleporting, among other unseen capabilities. Alternates are shown to be extremely difficult to harm or kill, and common methods of defense such as firearms aren't enough to deter them.

Being the sole creator, their fate solely resides with you, whether you use it to its rightful use is up to you.

You gain a small spark of the divine flame, allowing you to separate off a portion of your divine self and with the flame create an Exigent. Some called these Exigent Exalted but Exigence is the Actual process of the exaltation.

They could range in power from a Terrestrial, all the way up to a Solar exalted. This lost power can slowly be regained, and a new spark is slowly grown to replace the old one used in the Exigence.

You are able to craft Servitor Souls within your Sanctuary as well as Vessels shaped from your domain, A vessel is required for a servitor soul to act physically in the world. Vessels are any kind of physical form designed to anchor the Servitor soul outside of your sanctuary, in the same way, your avatar does for you. Your theurgical systems can now include your Servitors in various capacities as well.
The physical capabilities of a vessel is determined by your own strength, and as your own divine power grows you gain increasing control over the souls you create and the powers of the vessels. Servitor souls at baseline without special domains, power, or other soul-based manipulation powers have intelligence that starts at the level of an animal and can eventually reach the level of a non-sapient AI.
The Souls you create start from a baseline ability, like a fireball, growing plants, or a function of one of your domains like the water cycle for a water or weather god that is built into the soul as its starting framework. This framework determines specific things about the Souls mentality and ability on the moment of it's creation. This allows the soul to grow and branch off of that initial framework and determines how it goes about developing power and intelligence, however, you can direct the changes manually if you desire as well as the speed of that growth.
These Servitors are completely loyal to you and worship your divinity, however, their more rigid mental structures and lower emotional states make them unable to produce the same kind of fervent growth that a pious mortal can give. If your Servitors developed or were granted true emotional sapience their zealotry could give you a similar boost to a pious mortal.

Instead of an Olympian you are the same type of machine god as Interstellar Navigation-Purpose Ultra-Massive Mothership/Celestial Sphere Type Space-Time Fortress Chaos. Like the Olympians you are both a conceptual god born from deified natural phenomena and an unmanned spacefaring ship built by an alien civilization from a dying universe. Unlike the Olympians you are also a dyson sphere built around a star which in terms of sheer scale, means you far surpass the entire planet Earth, making you a god that embodies every concept and natural phenomenon under the sun the Alien civilization could imagine which as part of your construction naturally gives you possession of all the functionalities of every machine god no matter the generation and on a much higher level than any of the Olympians to the point you could accidentally destroy an Olympian with a reflexively released Arrow of Light stronger than anything Apollo could do in his prime.
You can make more machine gods though creating a fleet similar to the Olympians predecessors would reduce you to less than a tenth of your functionality.
You can make dimensional rifts to other distant dimensions that you can act through though by quirk of design with this power alone you can’t travel through the rifts, these rifts are also resource and energy intense to create straining even your reserves and energy generation.
While fundamentally your database of knowledge starts the same as the Olympians, the sheer scope of your processors, the strength of your knowledge functionalities, and the power you can throw behind both means you can come up with ideas that Athena would bow to and creations that Hephaestus would praise as beyond him.
