Fight for the core!

You and a group of adventurers stand in front of the entrance to an ancient temple. An abandoned holy land that now houses the foulest creatures of the planet that lie in the darkness, waiting for hapless fools who venture where they do not belong.

You're all united by one goal, to claim the core, a magical object that is said to allow anyone to claim their ultimate ambition.

You don't know if you or your companions will make it to the core but you know deep inside that you'll have to depend on one another to get through the trials alive.

Before you embark on your adventure, please introduce yourselves.

For those of you that don't know where to start, here's a good springboard.

• Name-
• Age-
• Alignment-
• Weapon (if applicable)-
• Magical/Elemental power (up to two) (if applicable)-
• Equipment (helmet/armor/shoes/etc.)-
• Items (up to three)-
• Short description-

Such as...

• Name- John Smith
• Age- 21
• Alignment- chaotic neutral
• Weapon- golf club (blessed in holy water)
• Magical/Elemental power- N/A
• Equipment- cotton T-shirt, jeans, leather boots.
• Items- health potion, elixir, and magic mushroom
• Short description- A man who appeared in the world when he was taken by a dark force on the way to a golf game with his family. He tries to find the core so that he could find a way home.

Also three rules!

• No god-modding
• No instant kills or deus ex machinas (meteor which kills everything in one hit, the ability to kill everything in one hit, the use of items that you weren't previously carrying before, etc.)
• Just have fun.

Also, responses must be written like a text parser (1 verb and 1 noun such as "attack ogre" or "heal player 1". If you have to speak to someone or have a question, please use spoiler tags (like this ==>[[spoiler tag: ]])

Hope you enjoy the game and I look forward to seeing how well you all do.

Hear from you soon

Quick question. Is it alright to forgo a weapon for a third power?

If you mean like not using a weapon to have a third power such as an elemental weapon (such as a fire sword or the ability to fire light arrows) than yes (as long as it doesn't break any rules).

If you mean not using a weapon to have a third power such as another elemental/magical power (such as fire, earth, and water powers or the power to heal, burn, and freeze) than no, you can only choose two types of powers unless you're rewarded with another power further down the line.

Would hurling fireballs count as a weapon?

No, it'd count as a spell, it'd only be an "elemental weapon" if it's something like a "fire sword" or an "ice shield".

If you create something like this though, it should be listed in parenthesis like this...

• Magical/Elemental power- Fire (fire sword).

Hope this clears everything up.

Well, I'm trying to go for a wizard type of character with no weapons and only spells to rely on.

Have you thought of using a staff or wand as a weapon to increase the power of your spells? You'd still basically be using spells anyways and it technically isn't a weapon per se (in the sense that it causes direct physical harm).

Fair enough. I'll type up a character later.

Thank you, looking forward to it.

If I have a specific clothing item I like, can I link it with a photo?

You technically don't have to since a short description is all you really need but if you want to go that extra mile then knock yourself out.

• Name- Lynn L. (but just call her Lar)
• Age- about 20
• Alignment- chaotic good
• Weapon (if applicable)- A steel staff that’s look like a bamboo tree (even with some steel leaves on it)
• Magical/Elemental power (up to two) (if applicable)- none
• Equipment (helmet/armor/shoes/etc.)- decorated T-shirt◊, jeans and sneakers
• Items (up to three)- small knife, a hand mirror, a long ropes she use as her belt.
• Short description- Has been living on the edge of Tvtropes, finding herself become the stereotype Shrinking Violet so she decided to change it, thus become a new overly-happy Cloudcuckoolander. Got into the RP without notice, and she doesn’t care. Has black eyes and she tied her hair into a ponytail.

Okay thanks for signing up, after we get a few more people we can get this show on the road.

May I save my spot here until I make one?

Go ahead man, as far as I'm concerned you're already a player.

I am interested, and I may join later today after I think of something.

Cool man, I look forward to it.

• Items (up to three)- Twist-to-charge flashlight. smoke bomb pouch. massive jar of honey.
• Short description- Tall, brown haired, wearing everything listed above save for the hoodie and hat unless needed. Enjoys fighting, but not killing, long walks alone, and cardgames. nebbish unless provoked. Kind. portly, but not pudgy/obese. Slightly muscled.

Awesome!

All we need is a few more people and then we can finally get this show on the road.

Update!

Players no longer have to post responses as if it were a text parser as long as it's less than two sentences and focuses on one action.

For example

instead of...

>attack ogre

You can write...

>I pull out my sword and attack the ogre

or something similar. Okay, just wanted to let you guys know about the slight changes going on.

Talk to you later

-Flyingdingo0827

Its not happening yet, is it?

No, I want at least three people to sign up before we actually start playing. Not to say that after three people nobody else can join, but I just wanted three players before I officially begin the session.

Ok, I'll just whip up a signup in a minute. Perhaps later if I don't get time.

Hey man, take your time. Whenever you're ready, submit a form, there's no rush.

Ok, here goes.
