Story You are suddenly awoken by a thorough chill that pulses through your body. Half-awake, you get out of bed and begin getting dressed. You finish, but then notice something strange: the sun isn't up, yet there is an eerie light filling your room. You explore the rest of your house and find that you are alone. No family. You step outside. Shadowy mists are flowing everywhere, and disgruntling whispers can be heard from... somewhere. A pang of fear pierces your chest when you look around and see nothing. All that is visible in any direction more than 50 feet outside of your house is a roiling blackness.
About This is a role-playing game set in a mysterious shadowy realm. Up to 7 people may join by filling out the form below: Form Name: [You have 15 points to use on the below stats.] Gender: Offense: [This is related to the damage you will deal.] Defense: [This is related to your resistance to taking damage.] Agility: [This determines who moves first, second, etc.] Luck: [This determines you chance to do extra damage, and the amount of extra damage done.] Ability name: [You get to be creative! I will check this.] Ability description: [You get to decide! I will check this, too.]
Gameplay Up to 7 players will be accepted. Players will engage it battles with enemies that I determine. Players will request their actions to me during a battle, and I will do appropriate calculations. Players start at level 1, and will receive experience (XP) to level up for doing damage to enemies, defeating an enemy, and winning a battle (though there may be more). Outside of battle, I will provide some guidance, but overall the players will request what to do. There are innumerable actions players can choose. When one player suggests an action, I will either post it for players to agree with or shoot down, and if a player consensus has already been reached, I will tell what happens as a result of the players' actions. If the players wish to separate and explore separately, that is fine, they need only request it. However, the hordes of enemies players encounter will NOT be weakened for a solo player.

Slam my club repeatedly into the First Tripuvatus. Attempting to take them all out at the same time may not be fast enough; I'll take too much damage over time.

[Okay, I have modified your weapons to fit my requirements. By the way, WP stands for Weapons Points; you are awarded one every 10 XP. Nice try, but you cannot give them to yourself. :P]
You search hard, but find neither of your targets. You swear you were walking in a straight line, yet you arrive at the house with shadowy flecks emanating from it yet again... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mav Gender: Male XP: 11 To next level: 14 XP Level: 2 Health: 15/22 Offense: 6 Defense: 6 Agility: 4 Luck: 2 Weapons: 1 WP Big Club (2), lv1, 2 hand (off +4, def +1, agi -1) [Equipped] Ability: Stoic [Feels nothing; no fear, no pain, no weakness.]

Your ice magic is weak; however, it is sufficient to cover most of the cave entrance. Feeling secure, you and Sensei Bassami go to sleep...

I engage. It's so on, shadows! Also, can I only have one of the two knives equipped? If so, I'd prefer the second knife. And if the first move is mine, I go for either shadow's weak spot.
[IMPORTANT: I have decided to allow all players who willingly begin a battle with enemies an entering attack, as seen with Mav on the page 19. If players are engaged unsuspectingly or unwillingly, this attack will not be awarded; in fact, it may be given to the aggressors.
ALSO IMPORTANT: If you are going on vacation, please let me know beforehand so I am not forced to relinquish your spot in the RPG! The last thing I want to do is force someone out, but I have a seven-day no-activity limit.

The man leads you to a stone-floored area of the barracks; it is surround by barriers, so it must be the designated training area.
[Okay, now when I say an assault name, I want you to improvise; I will have no idea what it means, either!]

Blue Wings: You hear shuffles and heavy breathing emanating from the entrance of the cave, so you go to peek around a corner near your ice door. You see three shadowy swordsmen there, and they are slowing searching the entirety of the cave... ---------------------------------------------------------------------Name: Tegael Gender: Male XP: 0 To next level: 10 XP Level: 1 Health: 20/20 Offense: 6 Defense: 2 Agility: 4 Luck: 3 Weapons: 0 WP Kitchen knife (1), lv1, 1 hand (lck +2) [--->] Double kitchen knife (2), lv1, 2 hand (off +1, lck +3) [Equipped] Ability name: Eagle Eye [Has improved eyesight and can determine enemies' weaknesses easily.]
[Yes, you can switch between the two, but in this instance, it costs you your engaging attack (which only has 1 movement slot).
The benefits are this: two-handed weapons are more powerful, but more concentrated at certain stat bonuses. One-handed weapons allow for diversity because, well, you can have one in each hand! :O]
Battle begin! Battle 7
XP bonus! Fearless +2XP for Tegael [Engaged a horde with more members than your party.]
Engaging attack! [On occasion, attacks may be made upon entering a battle.] Tegael switches from his Kitchen knife to his Double kitchen knife.

I take out my scimitar. I hold the blade vertical with both hands outstretched and level with my left shoulder; I twist my wrists counterclockwise to turn the blade horizontal while bringing it down and across to waist level in a swift chopping motion, much like a positive asymptote along the x and y axis (this link might help .)

I decide to go inside the house now seeing it as the only shelter I have found so far
[IMPORTANT: If you have two one-handed weapons, they can both be equipped at the same time! Whether you are attacking with a certain weapon or not, your actions will receive that weapon's bonus effects so long as it is equipped.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: James Kratos Gender: Male XP: 0 To next level: 10 XP Level: 1 Health: 20/20 Offense: 5 Defense: 4 Agility: 4 Luck: 2 Weapons: 0 WP *Bowie knife (1), lv1, 1 hand (agi +1, lck +1) [Equipped] *Double Bowie knife (2), lv1, 2 hand (off +1, agi +1, lck +2) Scimitar (1), lv1, 1 hand (off +1, agi +1) [Equipped] Ability: Melee Master [Is very skilled with melee and brawl weapons.]
[Ah, yes. I love asymptotes! :P Oh, and great improvisation!
Oh! You will notice that both your scimitar and bowie knife are labeled "Equipped". This is because they are both one handed weapons, so they can both be equipped at the same time!]
A look of wonder crosses the man's face. "But... how? No one ever performs that perfectly on the first try; few even know of it's existence... The twisting of the blade at the same time as an asymptotic sweeping motion with the blade; absolutely masterful..."
The man turns, as if thinking, then says, "Hmm... Come with me. I have a task for you; actually, I require your help..." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mav Gender: Male XP: 39 To next level: 6 XP Level: 3 Health: 20/25 Offense: 7 Defense: 7 Agility: 4 Luck: 3 Weapons: 3 WP Big Club (2), lv1, 2 hand (off +4, def +1, agi -1) [Equipped; ready to upgrade] Ability: Stoic [Feels nothing; no fear, no pain, no weakness.]
[You only have one club. :P
That (2) next to your weapon's name indicates that it takes 2 WP to upgrade it.]
Battle 6 - Turn 4
Tripuvatus 3's turn Tripuvatus 3 sends a blast of toxic smoke at Mav! Mav takes 1 damage!
Mav's turn Mav slams Tripuvatus 3 crushingly with his club a plethora of times. Tripuvatus 3 avoids Mav's first attack! However, the next two land and Tripuvatus 3 takes 18 damage. Mav's final attack is a critical hit! Tripuvatus 3 takes 14 damage (13 dealt)! Mav acquires 3.1XP!
Tripuvatus 3 is defeated! Mav gains 4XP for this feat.
Battle 6 end! Mav ends the battle with 11 health left (50%), and gains 28XP! Mav also gains 2WP! Congratulations!
Mav's party defeated three level 1 Tripuvatuses! Impressive!
As the Tripuvatuses die, a deafening cacophony of thunder rumbles throughout the sky. Lightning violently assaults the area, and fires start on the dead stumps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Assassins

Blue Wings: You quickly wake Sensei Bassami, then retreat to the damp recesses of the cave. You find a decent hiding spot and wait until the footfalls fade, then begin searching for a way out. After some time looking, you see light coming from a high part of the cave. However, hisses can be heard from outside... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Ben Fyre Gender: Male XP: 0 To next level: 10 XP Level: 1 Health: 20/20 Offense: 5 Defense: 4 Agility: 3 Luck: 3 Weapons: 0 WP Black-bladed katana (2), lv1, 2 hand (off +2, def +1, +3% poison chance) [Equipped] Electric iron glove (1), lv1, 1 hand (agi +1, +3% shock chance) Ability: Guard Hounds [Can summon any type of hound desired (cannot attack while hound is present).]
The door to the shadowy house creaks ominously upon your entry. Boards moan every few seconds, and strange noises project from various parts of the house.
Luckily, your search for sustenance ends in success! The kitchen is stocked full of delicious foods. Too late, however, you realize that every food is one you like, as if someone made it just for you...
Black spots dark around your vision, and you begin to feel drowsy. As you slip away from consciousness, the last thing you hear is an evil voice laughing, mocking you ceaselessly...
When you awaken, you find yourself on a chilly tundra. Grayish snow is eerily complimented by a purple and blood-red nebula occupying the sky. Winds whistle and whip, and not a single living thing can be seen in any direction...
