Scion game where you get to make the world

This is going to be a scion world building campaign pbp. First because your characters are powerful instead of using normal character creation rules we will use titan character creation (its also easier). This comprising of choosing 4 favourite previous 2 banned previous. You get mental, social and physical attributes pick one of them to be at epic 10 and the others at 8. Unlike normal you get 2 epic 11 attributes which you can put anywhere. Technically titans have dice pools of 20 for all actions before modifiers. Titans also get all knacks and they know all boons up to the 8th one for all previews, and they know all boons for their favourite ones. They know none of the boons for their banned previous. You also get to choose any 5 virtues, and those will be rated at 5.
You can’t create something from nothing. Also since your characters are the ones building the world one the titan realms and its natural inhabitants exists (but other titans don’t), the gods and god realms don’t exist. Were the ‘world’ will be build is just a vacant area (literally there isn’t anything there) also there won’t be any legend expenditure to travel from one titan realm to another or this vacant area. Think in the creation myths from any mythology, that’s where this is coming from.
The actual building of the world will work in the following way:
1) You can’t build something from nothing; you always need some form of sacrifice, such as your characters blood, titan trophies, or similar important ingredients.
2) You always have to activate an avatar (30 legend cost) to create something new and the avatar has to be related. When this is done also say what your characters dice pool and epic level (you get to choice what attribute you use but please explain how you use it) you state were the dice pool came from and if you are using any other boons or knacks while you make the role.
3) The higher the legend spend and importance of the ingredients chosen the more fundamentally important will the thing created be, note though that technically you can’t fail at making something but I can deme if the thing created is ‘flawed’
4) Some fundamental things such earth, sun, life and so on will eventually exist even if no one makes them but just remember that if no one makes it then it will be ‘flawed’ which will have implications later on.
5) Getting trophies from titan spawn for the most part will be just glanced over, however if players want to get high risk ingredients (which by definition will be incredibly important) then I can run a one off combat with the players involve, players can get some titan spawn trophies without fighting them and the same rules apply.
6) For the duration of the campaign characters will have only 900 legend, there is no way of regaining legend and you can only spend up to 90 legend per turn.
7) You can build anything you want, just remember that there will be some limitations per turn due to the avatars you use.
8) You can shape the world and what others have created using avatars or ultimate epic attributes, you just have to explain how and the dice pool size that you use.
9) A turn is defined as one post
