Note: If you're interested in taking the open slot, please PM me your completed character sheet.
In an effort to accelerate understanding and get you all up to speed on your mission, I have written down a brief description of where it will pick off from here. It's been well over a year since we last heard from the folks inside of a forum game.
The date is OCTOBER 14th, 2013.
The school year at Silver Hills High School is in full swing. Everything appears to be going rather well for the students at the newly rebuilt Silver Hills - an amazing recovery after a malign student faction known as the Chemical Mafia instigated the deaths of nearly 21 students and staff. After purging the criminals from the student body, security measures of all extremes were promptly implemented to keep the school safe. It's no fault to assume this would be an oppressive setup - instead, students enjoy a freedom not enjoyed elsewhere, with extended lunch periods, a wide-open courtyard, and numerous resources for learning.
Of course, this isn't likely to stay that way for long. An unfortunate encounter that will occur on this day shall trigger the ultimate unraveling of secrets - discoveries and actions that will change the lives of those involved and all those around them forever. Organizations will rise and fall, heroes will leave as legends, and people who never suspected their lives would amount to anything are about to embark on the biggest thrill ride of their lives.
It will be an adventure where all comes full circle.
Hello friends and comrades! This is an attempt at a game I've wanted to run, but never gotten very far. After sitting on the concept and refining and integrating the plot into my other games, I present to you Something Awesome.
SA will be a free-form RPG game, where the emphasis is put on piecing together the events of a story and participating in fast-paced, flashy combat with challenging foes. I will do all descriptions and NPC interactions, all that's on your plate is to keep your characters interesting and active.
To easier facilitate combat scenes and world interaction, some skills will need to be listed. This game may begin in a school setting, but it will quickly expand outside of this area and incorporate a whole world of adventure in the democratic nation of... well, a democratic nation.
To participate, fill out a character sheet. In a few days, I will take all submissions and pick eight or so of the best entrants to play. If you don't get in right away, no worries! I'll re-open applications if any character deaths occur throughout the story. You can resubmit characters that failed to get in initially or design new ones. Character death will be rare - although this does not mean I will provide plot armor of any sort. If you die, you may submit a new character.
Name: Self-explanatory.
Description: I encourage you to be as detailed as possible. Exceptional characters have a better chance of getting in! Also please keep your characters human.
Specialization: In the spoiler below, I've listed all the different magical powers and weapon skillsets you can take. Your specializations may not total more than five points. However, taking a weakness in any magic will grant you another point, up to two extra. Descriptions of specializations available upon request. Custom specializations and requests are to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Skills: Pick five small skillsets to possess. These can be anything, subject to mod discretion. Examples may include lockpicking, programming, alchemy, bike riding, jumproping, climbing, etc..
Favored Stat: Pick one of Health, Attack, Defense, Stamina, Speed, or Intelligence. Each one carries a slight bonus for combat relating to that stat. Health may entail surviving or taking hits better, while those who favor Speed may get more favorable speed rolls.
List of Players:
- Otto Hoffman (Schazer)
- Oren Ashford (Brom)
- Melinda Greenhill (Mooglegirl)
