minipreps are spinning spinning spinning

and the ship of fools is boarding, preparing to get underway!

my brother and I and a few gaming friends are trying out a (already slightly modified) game of Dawn of Worlds, which is all about building a fantasy world/setting. Each person plays a deity and there are three stages (ages) of creation, the first focusing on geography, the second on building and defining races and cultures, and the third on the interactions of the races.

So I need to settle on a character concept. my first idea was to be a god of woodlands, and put all my power behind a couple special woodland races, create a sanctuary for them in a corner of the world.

following an old druid character idea, this led me to maybe a similar woodland type god but also with emphasis on love and mating - its an important part of nature, after all ... and then I could create hybrid races like centaurs and pegasi and things by making different species get together ... and that led me further to the notion of a mischevious puck-like deity, that is fey-like and of the woodlands, but focuses on making people fall in love as a way to sow mischief and chaos..
