DISCLAIMER: This is an rpg that is quite complicated and involves a lot of text. Please do not join if that is not your thing. On the other hand, do join if you love creative and deeply descriptive writing.
I once had an evolution Rpg that was doing really well. It had lot's of players and everything was going great, but then I just quit it. I can't forgive myself for doing that, the players seemed to be having fun and I just stopped. I can't look too good after saying that, but I will try once more. Here is the new game, it is almost exactly the same but I have made many tweaks to make it more bearable, both for the player and me. Some things I have simplified to make it easier for me to keep, and some things made more complicated for the enjoyment of the player. Some things may have even been straightly copied from the previous one. This time I wont quit. And If I do, then I will stab myself with a pickle.
It is much recommended that you see the original one here, since it explains the game more in depth.
(We'll see if I did that linking thing right, most likely not.. In case it doesn't work, the link is also at the bottom of this post.) --------------------------------------
Prologue
"The NeoZero - 027 project was a complete failure. Not only did the core overheat and cause extinction to all of the animals, but it also imploded and took 26 other planets from the Neon-1000 Star system with it. Only 3 planets remain, and 028 is the one that shows the most potential to be The Last Opportunity Of The Era Of New Species. We are about to send the specimen... Neon Hope this works..."
That is all you remember before feeling huge amounts of G-forces and a splash. Of course you didn't understand any of it, but it's nice to have a feeling of past in your primitive brain. You seem to be floating in an empty space, filled with nothingness. Until you open your eyes.

The Species Sheet (A mix of things that affects your whole species and then only one individual: You.)
Species: (Your species' name) Type: (Cold or Warm, Peaceful or Hunter, ect, anything that describes your species the best.) Food: (Herbi-carni-omni-vore. This gets decided by what you start eating, so leave this blank for now.) Weapons&Armor: 2 Tiny fangs, no armor Evo-Stage: Cell ----- HP: 10/10 Evo-Lvl: 0.1 Evo-Xp: 0/5 Status: Fine, Confused ----- Evo-Points: 0 Body: Cell - Tiny (Decide color please) Head: Cell - Tiny (Decide color please) Mouth: 2 Tiny Fangs Limbs: Fins - Tiny Back: Nothing Tail: Fin - Tiny Details: Nothing ----- Skills: (These get affected by different body parts. The system is different than before, so I wont put the exact functions here. You can also earn skill points from random tasks in the game.) Vitality: 1 (Each point here grants you 2 extra hp) Offense: 1 (The Offensive battle method. The more points the more offensive.) Defense: 1 (The Defensive battle method. The more points the more defensive.) Agility: 1 (How fast you move and react to things.) Intelligence: 1 (You need this for everything. You can't evolve much if you don't have intelligence, but luckily you get it from everyday tasks that you perform.) ----- Abilities: (These are special abilities that you can gain and lose when evolving body parts, or just from other goals you achieve.) Swim, Bite, Water-Breath

Species Score (SS)
Species Score is what ranks you in the TSR (Top Species Ranking). The System goes like this:
Each:-
Skill Point = 1 Point XP Point = 0.5 Point Lvl = 10 Points
Each XP point gives only half a point because otherwise when you got a level, the level would give you 10 points but if you had let's say 15 xp and each xp gave 1 point, you would lose more points than you got. This will still be a problem later in the game, but maybe I will change the scoring system when it gets to that.

That should be all. I know it's long but I spent about 2 weeks trying to come up with things that would make it better and simpler, even though I think it just got more complicated. Anyway, it's 1 AM here now, so I'm gonna leave this overnight so people can join if they wish. It would be a downer if no one joined, I spent a lot of time on this. But when wouldn't it be sad if no one joined your game..?
