I've decided to go ahead and be very original in the naming of my RPG by taking two letters off the "Unnamed RPGs" thread's name But alas that's beside the point. Let's get down to business, which is that I've obviously decided to go ahead and make a RPG. Now I'd bet you'd like to know what this RPG will be all about, right? Ah well since you insist I'll go ahead and explain this RPG to you my fellow AG gamers.
This RPG shall be about controlling a mythological creature (like a Sphinx) and creating this aforementioned creature and guiding it through a storyline and scenarios that I give you. The choice is yours as to what creature you would like to be. You know what? As a matter of fact it doesn't even have to be a mythological creature, you may be anything you please to be at all. You can be a human, a wolf, a dragon, a sea monster or even a horsefly (I don't recommend that last option because it sounds quite boring). I don't mind you guys choosing your own creatures as long as you aren't unrealistic or silly about it, for example don't say this: I'm a 10'000 foot tall T-Rex that shoots lasers out of my eyes and fire out of my bum as well as the fact that I have impenetrable skin, blah blah blah etc... Otherwise I'll just ignore what you said and move on to the next logical post
Here are a few other things you may also want to know, you can choose between these scenarios for your character to play in:
Realistic RPG (you need food to survive, and sleep to survive, it's also easier to die seeing as how your decisions will get you killed if you're silly or choose a poor option) or you can choose the game to be a little more unrealistic (you don't need to worry about food, water, and all that other bothersome junk to live (that doesn't mean you can go a decade without food), and it's harder to die, meaning the decisions you make are less likely to kill you etc...). So basically choose between easy mode or hard mode.
You may also choose between these type of worlds for your character to live in:
- War ravaged - Medieval - Mythological - Prehistoric - Fantasy
Or you may suggest one yourself, and if I approve you may live in it.
Now I suppose I should tell you guys you need a character sheet, so here are a few examples:
Difficulty: Realistic (Hard) Scenario: A modern day society Character type: Wolf Character Description: Average height for wolf, magnificent blood red fur, keen eyes, muscular etc... Name: Grrrht (English translation from wolf speech: Keen One) Bio: Optional Mythological Creatures: No Perk: Fast Body: Prime of my life
Here is another example:
Difficulty: Unrealistic (easy) Scenario: Fantasy, Medieval type of country side (untamed country) Character Type: Sea monster! Name: Sentios Manios Lentia Character Description: A 300 foot tall sea serpent with massive spikes jutting out of my neck, I am 20 feet wide and my tail is spiked like a club. Bio: My name is Sentios Manios Lentia, I am used to living in the depths of the sea, fighting for my life with fierce creatures of the depth. I fear nothing and live to fight! Mythological Creatures: Obviously since I am one! Perk: Ability to blast sheets of ice out of my mouth (like a dragon does with fire!) Body: Mediocre
Last Example:
Mode: Realistic Scenario: Modern day Zombie Apocalypse Character: Man Name: Tony Bio: Optional Past Occupation: Firefighter Height: 6 foot tall Weight: 205 pounds Misc Details: (hair colour, eye colour etc...) Mythological Creatures: N/A for any choices with man as your character AND modern day as a scenario Perk: Agile Body: Fit
Important Notes For (you really should read this):
Descriptions: Include as much as you like into the description, but make it enough for me to be able to adequately tell how you look. Bio: Helps me determine your storyline. Scenario: This just determines the type of environment and creatures you'll be around. If you choose prehistoric, expect prehistoric animals to be in the gameplay (duh). Mythological creatures: All I need is a yes or no. If you choose yes be warned that any and every manner of creature may be in your storyline (unless you request for specific types of creatures like Dragons not to be not to be). Character: What animal are you going to be, a human, dinosaur, sea monster, goblin, ogre, orc, dragon etc... Body: How healthy and athletic are you Perk: Be reasonable, if you choose invincible I'll rechoose it for you.
Ah yes I almost forgot this, lastly, but not least is the example of the scenarios you will receive (I request that you post your character sheet in every comment by the way):
Example:
Mode: Realistic Scenario: Modern day Zombie Apocalypse Character: Man Bio: Optional Past Occupation: Fireman Height: 6 foot tall Weight: 205 pounds Misc Details: (hair colour, eye colour, and name, which is a must etc...) Mythological Creatures: N/A for any choices with man AND modern day as a scenario Perk: Agile Body: Fit
"Tony! Hurry up, this building is coming down on top of us, we have maybe ten minutes!" Bellowed one of Tony's co-workers inside of the inferno of what was once called "Hyatt's Hotel" in downtown Detroit. "Yea, I know, just give me a moment," hollered Tony back to his co-worker kicking down the door in his path trying to get to the person on the other side of the door. For there had to be person on the other side, Tony could hear the murmuring of a man! As Tony rushed in he dived out of the way of falling masonry that was ablaze from the ceiling above him and was shocked to see a man lounge towards him. The man was missing half the fingers of his left hand, from a... bite?
Options:
1. Go towards the man and try to help him out of the building. 2. Say "insert phrase here" 3. Ask the man "are you alright!?" 4. Your choice When choosing an option please copy paste that as well as your character sheet into your post. Thanks in advance
NOTE: You may gain perks after a while or evolve your characters. If you're a human you may grow taller, or run faster, or be stronger etc... After a while I'll evolve (upgrade) your character automatically or give it a perk after a few pages or a reasonable time-lapse.
NOTE: There are clans that you will encounter in this RPG, meaning that some creatures hunt and fight in packs (some don't though)
P.S. I may add rules and updates for this RPG, when I do so it'll be labeled as follows (and every post will be in every post I make):
Attention, Update! Three people only right now, each player MUST choose a different character (different species) in their character sheet. It is first come first serve. If you would like to join a wait list please message my profile. If a player dies the next person in the wait list shall join the game, or if a player goes inactive for about 48 hours (two days) without warning the next player in a wait list shall be able to take over or make a new character.

After much bumbling around and fumbling, you find the light switch. You're only mildly surprised to see that you're in a custodian's closet, all around you are mops, brooms and the like, nothing of much use, except to your surprise you see a revolver with some ammo and a first aid kit. Would you like to take them?

Yes. I open the door slightly to see if the group really isn't coming. If it's in the clear, I silently and carefully walk down the stairs. Might be possible these guys are making sure doors are locked.

As you walk out of the custodians closet being as silent as humanly (so to speak) possible, you peer around from in behind the janitor closet and see the four Imairans from outside starting to walk towards you. "Hey you," one of the soldiers call out towards you "what in the hell are you still doing in this office building, we ordered it cleared of all civilians as soon as we entered this city! This is now a Terran owned and operated building."
You breathe a gentle sigh of relief that you're being confused for a civilian worker, if they had thought you to be the soldier you are they would have probably shot you on sight. You also notice that they have all drawn their weapons, you think your chances of shooting them before they shoot you is slim. How do you respond to this question/what do you do?

When the man will lift the syringe and then lower it to anesthetize me, I'l grab it and inject the serum into any exposed part of his body.
I'l make sure that the plan can succeed though. If not, I'l think about something else.

As the guard raises the syringe to inject you with it you putout your arm as if to comply with the guards demands, As he lowers the anesthetics you suddenly grab his wrist and arm and twist it in a fashion that pierces the guards other hand.
The guards eyes are now terrified and he drowsily mutters "you've killed me you son of a bi..." before he keels over and falls to the ground. What do you do now?

You bolt it towards a nearby parking lot as quickly, but quietly as possible, there are a of few of those things in the parking lot, but you manage to creep by them. You try to open the door of the nearest car, and smile as you see that it is unlocked, you also see the keys just lying on the seat! You're quite lucky today it appears, but are you sure that you want to travel on the streets of downtown Detroit? It is highly probable that they're heavily infested with these monsters, or that the road is to backed up with traffic for you to even travel on them.

Sorry. My laptop's charger started shooting sparks so I couldn't use it anymore on Thanksgiving.
"I left some of my things in this closet. I was trying to sneak in and return to my home. But now I've got some explaining to do, don't I?"

One of the soldiers blinks in confusion and asks you "what did you forget, I don't see you carrying anything, but that first aid kit? Surely you wouln't risk breaking curfew for a first aid kit now would you? No one can be that stupid."

"Well, I don't have anything to lose. No living relatives and no sweet-hearts. But anyways, I came back for this." I pull out the military grade pistol by the barrel. I hold out the handle for one of the soldiers to take. "I'm homeless and working night-shifts come up with unwanted animals and shady characters. Had to work my @ss off for that. So what now?"

The Sergeant who has remained silent up until now was staring at you with hostility and suspicion , but his eyes are softening and starts to look at you with a little bit of sympathy. "Now Corp. McQuinty will search you for any other potentially dangerous items and we will keep them in safe custody for the duration of our occupation in this city, then you will return home immediately under armed escort from these two soldiers here," says the Sergeant nodding at McQuinty and another soldier. "Unless you have a problem with that," says the Sergeant in a challenging tone.
You are very lucky the soldier didn't notice that the pistol was a Terran military issued pistol.

That's really cold, slitting the throat of the guard with his own knife! Anyways...
You slit the mans throat open and turn away to avoid the blood and gore that is spilling out of the mans esophagus. You head towards the door and open it, you're surprised to see that you are in someones home, you see a kitchen, and a living room, but it's empty however. No one is downstairs for now. You must've just left the study room. You hear some voices and noises from upstairs however. What do you do?
