Well, today is my first day in the area! I still need to get a house... I did get a trade permit though. You know, just in case I find a valuable item laying around. rolleyes Yeah, like that will happen, right? But this way I'll be able to maybe get good stuff cheep. I can never pass up a good opportunity for gold. twisted erm, anyway... My stuff was stolen on they way here, can you believe it? and I can't go around dressed in the noob stuff a kind hearted someone or other donated, so I'll just have to put my money to my style. Lucky for me, I can always find sales. wink Talk more later, I need to make some cash. ninja Later!
[battle system-
for abilities, the player rolls a dice. each ability has dice numbers that you can/must get to get certain effects or to do damage. you gain abilities as the story progresses and as you fight or train. The abilities description explains what it does.
You start out rather weak (except big "boss" people in the story that you fight... you can't very well wait for the main baddie in the game to become way stronger then you and then start the story!) but as everything goes on, the more you participate, the stronger you become. It all depends on who you are, what you are, and how the story goes, and basically how you want you're character to grow!
If you run out of hit points you become "wounded" and all you're stats are cut in half (stats are rounded down in this case) and you can't use abilities. You have five turns to heal hit-points before you die. If you die... you are dead. theres not many ways to get around that fact... I might be able to give you a good funeral... maybe come back as a ghost somehow and be all angst? No one is immortal, sorry.
to attack, say what you're doing (or trying to do) and roll the dice you're character rolls for that attack (or the basic attack, you get the idea). roll+attack stat points+whatever else would add points-persons defense points-whatever else would subtract points=damage! (aka, if i roll a 5 and i have 7 attack points and I have my uber power active which doubles my power but you have 15 defense points and you're shield ability subtracts 4 more points, I would actually do 5 damage to you because 5+7x2=24-15-4=5)
defense is innate and was kind of explained above but I still felt I should give it it's own paragraph so it feels loved (I am insane, i know)
hit points are kind of self explanatory. You have them, you lose them and you are wounded (see first paragraph) and after five turns of that, you're dead... poof... gone... get the picture?
You're speed of attacks? hmmm.... how fast can you post?
who's side are you on? who's side do you want to be on? and who said there were sides?
Oh, and I, the genius that I am (ha! not!), just realized something. Even if you make a 50 page description... our characters don't know each other. our characters don't know they are an RP. So, long descriptions are a little pointless. Just write enough that when we start off we have a physical description to go from and comment on and so forth (aka, we don't need a life story, something i admit i was guilty of putting out there, but it would be good to say if you are poor or rich or if you have a accent or something... or like, if you don't have the gold just yet for ears or a halo, you can say you have one... but I would like to see you attempting to dress up like how you are supposed to and to keep saving for what you still need to get.)]
[characters-
Name- Anone Shadowlight
Desc- A rouge wanderer who temporarily settles in different areas, doing odd jobs for a living, until she uproots herself and moves on to the next area. Around 22 now, even though she has the personality of a 16 year old, she has wondered into the Gaia region. She has minor fire abilities and can attaching a tail, and gaining the abilities of the creature it came from as long as she wears it.. She is dark skinned and wears a tube top, streaked jeans, and has a casual yet stylish look about her.
Abilities- spark=will light something on fire. for combat it will lower the enemies defense by 2 points for 5 of their posts. you must roll a 4 sided dice once and get a 3 or 4, tail ability= depending on the tail you will gain a power. current tail=coon tail which gives a mischievous nature and raises defense by 1 point, hot sword= sword heats up so it will burn someone if they touch the blade. it adds 4 to the attack. you must roll a 10 sided dice and get a 9 or 10. this lasts for 10 of the users posts
HP- 20
Attack- 10
Defense- 10
How do you want you're character to grow?- I want her to grow in defense faster then attack but have her gain more power through the tails she acquires, mainly. Perhaps she can gain abilities from tattoos later? Don't forget about her fire magics though!
Name- Isabella Gambino
Desc- Finished therapy. Twenty-three and a half. Used to have a brother, but he ran off. Member of a strange angelic race that's gonna end with her. Unless she gets married or something. But that probably won't happen. Ever. Her Uncle is Johnny Gambino and her mother and father were killed. She loves to hang out with Ian. She has light magic capabilities which are centered around a pendent she wears constantly and she does not hide the fact she is angelic in descent.
Abilities- light flash= a flash of pure white light will blind only your enemies and therefore lower their attack and defense by 3 points for 7 of your posts. you must roll a 10 sided dice and get a 3 or a 7, angelic glow= your inner glow that shines through which gives you a 3 point attack boost. your HP must be half or below your maximum for this to come in effect, shining light= 5 attack power boost against evil or dark creatures
HP- 20
Attack- 10
Defense- 10
How do you want you're character to grow?- I'd like her magic ability to grow along with her attack. Defense, not so much. Light abilities obviously.
Name- Lady Heather
Desc- Lady Heather, always sly and wicked about her ways of a fancy. A Spell weaver, enchantress, and an eye for anything... or anyone attractive. She has a good heart despite all, yet very mischievous. She has stolen from people and committed many a crime. She usually sports a tube top and very short shorts. Her eyes act like a mood ring, showing her emotion. She has the abilities of wind and to sprout fox ears and tail. Her wind element, however, is only as controlled as her touchy emotions at the time and sometimes storms will gather around her in times of extreme rage or sorrow.
Abilities- gust= a huge burst of wind hits the opponents for 3 damage. you must roll a 4 sided dice and get a 4, rage= your emotions are extreme. your abilities are out of control but more powerful. rolls are changed to random number. the list of whats effected= gust is random number 1 to 6 needing a 5 or 6 while a 1 will hit everyone, cloud over= clouds roll in as if a storm is on the horizon. this comes in effect automatically when rage kicks in. your wind magical abilities hit twice as hard on the opponent but you will receive a backlash of half of what the damage usually would be.
HP- 20
Attack- 10
Defense- 10
How do you want you're character to grow?- I want her abilities to grow fast and as she progresses onward make her attack a bit better. Abilities should come from experience, controlling all elements but wind above all.
