This is a game that I am willing to let you guys play with me. This is going to be completely freeform compared to my game Monsters and Mazes (which takes place in this world). I will explain the rules at a later time, everyone, but I will say that you can make up the equips so that I will put them in the actual game I'm making.

Anyway, before we begin, I'm waiting for 6 other people to join the game. What do you think?

I'll join, I love RPs.

Alright, then, please make a character! Oh, yeah, I'll worry about health for the characters so let me edit the characters for your character's health.

My name is yubi. I like to kill crap.

I was wondering when a fellow clansmen would join this! Please make your equipment up before the story starts and add a bio to your character (as well as race and gender and what you wish for stats [I'll explain in a little bit]).

Stats have nine levels of power, so they'll be labeled from 1-9. The different stats have an effect on your character, so choose how your character's stats will be in effect. Here are the stats:

Power: Power is what determines your attack. This is a biggy for fighter-style classes (which means classes like paladins [which also have high defense and spirit], devil knights, lancers and draco knights) as well as
Speed: Speed determines how high you can evade enemy attacks. This will also have an effect on where your place in battle is turn wise.
Defense: This is how tough you are in the game and how well you can shake off diseases and poisons and stuff like that.
Spirit: This is good for if you are a paladin or something like that. This stat is for how much MP you can have (1 being that your character has low MP and can use only normal skills and all the way to 9 means that the MP gets higher and higher).
Spell casting: Stuff that has to do with how fast you can cast spells, your ability to reason, and your brains on solving puzzles (though that comes from the player and not the character).
Charm: How you interact with other characters and how you can get out of battles.

Well, that will help out in the long run, everyone. Choose which number goes for which stat (the opposite will be for stats of your choice [except 5. 1-4 and 6-9 are the correct opposite numbers]).

Okay, guys, I'd better make my character. This will be the hero of my game that I'm making that this is based on. Here is the character.

Alexander Skylandra
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Elementalist/Paladin

Weapon: Elementalist's Sword (does around 15 damage depending on the power level. Also increases Spell Casting by 20 [I know, I know, seems unfair. This item, however, is the weakest one for this class]).
Shield: Small shield (Raises Defense by 30 [hey, everyone, at least it's better than the cardboard shield that can be bought]).
Armor: Cloth armor (Raises Defense by 10).
Helmet: Desperado Helm (Raises Defense by 20 and Speed by 60 [great for going first in battle]).
Accesory: Gauntlet (Raises Defense by 20 and damage is boosted by four times).
Accesory #2: Halo pendant (protects wearer from evil and boosts spirit by 80)
Accesory #3: Nuke Boots (protects wearer from poisons caused by nuclear explosions and fire damage is absorbed).

Bio: Alexander was a very fortunate boy when he went through the portal that was supposed to take him all the way to "Hell" for dark Elementalist training. He was five years old when he went to Delgaia and trained as a Paladin and an Elementalist. When he turned 18, the whole adventure started, for Lich (the death demon that was going to have him trained for bad stuff to happen all over the universe) tried to kill him with a deadly demon but failed!! That's when Alexander went to the pub for finding people to help him find his way to his real home.

POWER: 9 (nine means that the damage inflicted is 27 with the Elementalist's sword [swords change on him when he chooses to change his equipment in any way])
SPEED: 68 (from that one boost)
DEFENSE: 88 (from all those boosts)
SPIRIT: 89 (from that one boost)
SPELL CASTING: 29 (from that one boost)
CHARM: 7

By the way, igo, what is a Halfling (unless you're referring to a hobbit)?

Name: Sagiri
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Class: Alchemist
Weapon: Book
Shield: None
Armor: Robe
Accessory: Topaz Amulet

Biography: A bright girl whose parents were killed after an insane person had escaped from the asylum. She was raised by her aunt who was cruel to her, she escaped and studied Alchemy hoping to learn how to make the Elixer of Life. Her Topaz Amulet is the symbol of her birth and her prized possession that was given to her from her mom.

Stats:
Power: 2
Speed: 3
Defense: 5
Spirit: 7
Spell casting: 9
Charm: 2

Sounds good, Kamihoko, and while your at it try having a reason ready for you going to the pub to be introducing yourself and explaining your character's reason for joining the party (characters don't have the knowledge that players do).

Does that sound alright?

Why Sagiri is going to the pub? I really hope you mean a tavern.

Well... she needs a liter of whiskey for a potion she is brewing. Her house is across the street, and she introduces herself to the party. The potion goes wrong and the house explodes. The party remembers her running across the street and going inside the house. They rush to find Sagiri kneeling down next to the rubbles of her house. The only thing she has is the "Great Book of Potions." The Elixer of Life requires something from a nearby dungeon, and without any of her potions, she asks the party to help her. Even though it is supposed to be temporary, she joins the party (forever) to gather the rest of her ingredients.

Whoops!! Meant to say tavern!!

Anyway, that sounds good, Kamihoko!! That'll work!!!!

I really need creative posts to make this RP interesting! What you said will REALLY work!!

A halfling is a half-elf

Oh, I get it, igo. Thanks for clearing that up.

...Sorry, I really, REALLY thought that you meant a hobbit. People should be more specific on the sort of thing that means Races and that stuff.

That's all for now.

I'm wondering why our characters should even matter if yours is like a millon times better.

WHOOPS!! Sorry about that! Your character's weaponry and other equips should be coming along with special abilities and status raisers that should be superior to mine in a way. Does that sound good?

Anyway, igo, think of what your equipment can do to boost your stats in any way possible. Oh, Rast and Kamihoko, same goes for you guys!

Does that sound okay?

Weapon: Holocaust - A +3/+3 2 handed sword with intellegence. It was built specially by a Dark Lord 100s of years ago. It is a Paladin slaying sword. It gets +3 to attack and +3 to damage and vs. Paladins or any members of a Church (good or evil) it gets +6/+6 instead. It can detect Paladins 60ft radius, can cast darkness 30ft radius 3 times per day(holder of sword is immune) and can only be wielded by evil alignments.

Bio - MordenHammer was once a Paladin for a church many years ago. The church's high Arch bishop fell ill and passed away. His brother Caius, who was next in line for the title was suspected of posioning him, a secret society of church members chose their best paladin, MordenHammer, to investigate Caius secretly. Caius took over and by devious plans and spells he gained more followers for the church. But these were ordinary followers, they were evil vile members of society. The Members that hired Mord came forward to caius and protested... they were found the next day all brutally murdered. Mord was horrified, he sought revenge. When he ran into the church to seek out Caius, they were waiting for him. He fought and killed many of Caius's followers but in the end they captured him.
Caius had him hung up in the dungeon. His old friends, the paladins he rode with when the church was good, all tortured him. Caius held a ritual over the beaten, maimed body of mord, all the while the paladins held him down. At the end of the ritual mord had been transformed to a Minotaur. Apart of the ritual was a spell that would turn Mord evil and under the command of Caius, but he failed. Mord was evil, but much good still remained in him, and now he had the strength of 10 men. With a last attempt at freedom mord rose and attacked the paladins. Taking one of the paladins swords he slaughtered every last person in the church including Caius.
Now 5 years later Mord still roams the world, his heart has grown cold but some good still remains. He is often found adventuring with all sorts of people, just trying to make a living and to make sure no religion ever oppresses anyone.



A halfling is not a Half-elf, its a small person like a Hobbit. Rast I think the stats are between 1-9.

hallsofvallhalla, they were originally from 1-9, but I was the first one to add more points to the stat level with upgraded weapons. Oh, by the way, you'd better try competing with Alexander's elementallist's sword (which is supposed to do 27 damage but with the gauntlets on him I deal out 108 damage instead [IF I hit anyway]). Oh, on the topic of Halflings, let igo231 have HIS definition on that term!!

Deathwing Pheonix, I just need to wait for one more person, and then we start the game at the tavern across the street from Sagiri's house (BEFORE it blows up).

Does that sound okay?

k well the point system doesnt make sense to me So i am gonna pull out of this game...

Thax guys have fun.

Its simple, really. Just make up weapons, armor, accesorys and other stuff for your cahracter that increase the stats by amounts of your choice. First, you choose basic stats that are between 1 and 9, 9 being the best. These are like a measure of your character's abilities.

i understand that but lets be logical. If 9 is the highest then lets say that gives the character the power to lift 300lbs and the ability to do 30 points of damage. These guys with 99 power would be able to lift 5,000 pounds and do 500 points of damage! Whats the point of adventuring? If the speed of 9 can make you run 20 mph then the speed of 90 can make you run 200mph! There has got to be a limit. I will play but my stats stay. If I get into a situation where I am not tough enough I will role play out of it. Thats the fun of it.

I myself am not sure how he's measuring stats, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have it set up so that you can lift 5000 Lbs, or run 200MPH.

That's exactly my point!! Rast understood that part well!

With characters that have super-high speed, that means that they have the right to go first in battle, and they can evade better with high speed!

Power does determine attack, true, but you should REALLY see what my elementalist's sword can do with help from the gauntlet!! It can do an amount of 108 damage!! I did put down 9 for my power level though (which originally made it from 15 to 27. Can you guess what 108 divided by 27 is?).

Honestly, though, you have got to impove your stats if you wish to survive (Power, Defense, and Speed somehow add up to health. My guy has 165 health points due to my high stats.)!! Do you understand now? You really need to understand hallsofvallhalla!

its not about understanding, its about a rule changed that I guess I missed. I guess your basing this off a system more like rpg xp and not a Pen and Paper rpg. You guys go ahead and play without me, I'll jump in the next one.

Alright with me, I guess, except that I need two more people now that halls is gone.

Anyone wish to join?

Try asking linkman.

I didn't get a reply yet, igo, but I did ask him some time ago.

WHAT'S TAKING HIM SO LONG TO REPLY?!?!

He's not here.......He hasn't been, I'll call him and check it out.

Well, I got his response, but I need him to come over here PRONTO!!
