I'd tend to argue that Earth and other elemental domains aren't really that important. Sure, we need earth and the sort, but those aren't really necessary gods.
However, that said, we could accomodate a bit of other stuff if we include "Portfolios" for our gods. For example, Io was a creationary god that happened to be in the shape of a dragon, and to create other dragons. It might fit Joran's idea a little better if he could be a god of Dragons, but not necessarily have Dragons be his domain (especially at the start of the game, where it will be his only one).
As for who to ascend, if Ara is good with it, I'd say that she and I could "share"the knowledge domain, or something like that, and she'd represent the loss of knowledge, while I would represent the discovery of new things. How does that sound, Ara? Anyone feel like having their head cracked open to brith us :P

while true, dragons are a bit narrow of a scope, having something as broad as creation might be too open. How about dragonkind instead? If you read up on Io on wikipedia, its a little vast as a god would go....I'm not going to be the next Io, but it is at least an insperation. It should be......interesting!

Well, I didn't mean that you'd have the creation domain, but rather that Io was creationary. That is, one of the early gods who established the universe. What your gods specific domain would be, I dunno.

I could always make things that go boom! but that might irritate people after a while. Besides, who doesn't like dragons? Also, we'd need something other than plants to be corrupted otherwise this'll get boring really quickly! :P

The thing is, it's better, under this ruleset, to have a more general domain, because then you can fit more under it. You can take advantage of a creation domain to make dragons or anything else, but making anything but dragons with your dragons domain doesn't let you take advantage of it. And you're not restricted to making things under your domain, you just get benefits from doing so.
EDIT: In that case, I might actually switch to the Death domain. I'll find some other way to fit the garbage people in. I like the idea of being a sort of foil to Thought's Knowledge, but I feel like Loss is too restricting as a domain.

Well, if Metal is too specific to start with, I can switch to Creation. As it was one of my earliest actions would have been to Craft the Water domain. But if I can take all those under my portfolio...

@ Joran, While it is probably too broad, perhaps the "Elemental" domain would fit well for your character, Joran, especially if no one else wants to take one of those related domains. Perhaps you could arrange something so that you get that "domain," but the bonus AP is a little more restricted? Or perhaps you only get that domain for a few weeks, with the understanding that you would have to split it later? Or perhaps you'd get that domain, but only get the bonus in a single element? Anywho, point being, it might be good for you to be a dragon god without being limited to dragons. But I don't want to talk you out of what you want to do, either. Just trying to offer options that will give Admins headaches. @Ara, a shame but understandable. Perhaps "Loss" can be your death god's hobby or something :P @Toph, perhaps move that LoC sample to the original post, so it is easier for people glancing at the game to find it? Also, if there is need for other samples... Homebrewed god(s)

Khravus Rein, the goddess of Fire and Ice
At the dawn of creation there was Agrilnost, the eldest god and father to the rest. His first children were desired and obedient, but in time he unknowingly gave birth to Khadesh, the true name of fire, and Pravus, the lord of ice. Agrilnost accepted Pravus as a true god, for ice is stable and constant, which the eldest liked. Fire, however, consumes, and the eldest would tolerate it not. He set his might against the newborn god, and called his other children to help him capture and kill her. However, the lord of beasts, Thrael Kriss, defended Khadesh, believing that all life had a right to earn its place in the world. The master of the hunt and the lord of creation clashed, and Agrilnost was slain.
Perhaps Khadesh and Pravus, siblings though they were, could have come to love each other if it were not for this event, but the slaying of his father for the sake of his sister divorced love from Pravus' heart. Though years passed, ice waited. Eventually he went to war against fire. The two fought and though neither could best the other, neither would surrender. Both were on the verge of death when Pravus, as his only act of love for his sister, decided to let her live. Their power was to entangled to flee, so he gave his heart to her. Khravus held both fire and ice within her, and the two obliterated the god that once was, but she was reborn as Khravus Rein, who held the two elements in balance.

Forest of Flesh
A twisted forest where the trees are made from bone and flesh. Creatures that wander into it are attacked by the plantlife, ripped apart, and their corpses used to expand the forest's borders. At the heart of the forest is an ancient, rotten tree. Within it is sealed the Reaper, the serpentine manifestation of death itself, who was imprisoned there by a fey trickster.
Titan's Glacier
Far to the north, in a place that civilized nations ignore, is a great glacier, as tall as the sky is high. Within its blue depth are encassed two godbeasts from the forming of the world, Concordia and Leviathan. These creatures were created to destroy the gods, but they turned on each other. The ensuing rampage threatened to destory creation, and so a small band of gods, led by Harkon Armal, the lord of waters, encased the two in ice. Even so, the two creatures strive to attack each other, occasionally causing great sheets of ice to fall off the glacier.
Naginti
A desert city built underground. Many species reside in its many tunnels, and they are ruled over by The Pharaoh. However, his queen was corrupted by the false god, Isura, and now conspires against her husband along side an Efreet faction within the city. For his part, the Pharaoh has grown paranoid and secretly breeds foul beasts within the heart of the city, so to unleash them on those who would conspire against him. A gnomic faction, lead by a greedy merchant, feeds the pharaoh's paranoia in hopes of gaining significant political power. Furthermore, a goblinoid horde has beseiged the city, with only a small breach, created by the gnomes, offering the city a lifeline to the rest of the world.
EDIT: Ah, I see Kal was thinking about water... Oooo, what if Joran, if he has the "Elemental Domain," creates your god, and gives you Water as your starting domain. Just as his character would be a "god who happens to be a dragon," yours might be a "god who happens to be metal." You'd then, presumably, create Metalic dragons (and in general move towards metally things). Hence, Dragons might depict your god as liquid metal in the shape of a dragon, even if your god isn't so shaped. Sound at all interesting?

Oh! Unless Thought meant we would both have the Knowledge domain, but we would just handle it differently. Is that what you meant?

Exactly. Although, if you don't like knowledge, perhaps some other domain that would still encompass the general themes of discovery and loss?

I'm interested in the game (ofc hehe), but still thinking about what kind of god to play, maybe a sun\ligth or fire god for a change, a little zelous, self centered and fanatical, but substantially good, or a god of beasts\hunt more pre-columbian civilizations gods style.
