Hello, and welcome fair gamers to a little experiment of mine. I have been playing some DnD lately, and I realized DMing is a lot like running a Forum Game. So, I decided I'd try doing a game DnD style. What will I do? Well, I'll reveal the first story after enough people join in. Also, I'm doing all the rolling so you don't need dice and I don't need to accuse cheating. Now, the ultimate forum game question: How do you join?
Well, to join, you give me this:
Name: Your name, Derpy. Bio: Describe yourself! Have some fun with this! Affinity: Your element your are associated with. Race: See Races below Class: See Classes below Preferred Weapon: What weapon class you would like to use.
Name: John Menon Bio: A generic hero used to make an example. Has no characteristics unto himself. In fact, he may be a Doppelganer. Affinity: Fire Race: Chanian Class: Avatar Preferred Weapon: Blade
You get:
Name: John Menon HP:28 MP:10 Afiinity: Fire Race: Chanian Race Perk: Cleave(Gains an extra attack when killing an opponent) Class: Avatar Class Perk: Divine Strength (+3 to damage) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stats Strength: 8 Perception: 5 Endurance: 8 Charisma: 2 Intelligence: 2 Agility: 5 Luck: 5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory: Weapon: Shortsword (1d6) Armor: Double Leather(12 AC, -3 Acrobatics) Other: Lume's Everburning Candle
As for the classes...*cracks knuckles*
Mercenary For-hire adventurers that make up the meat and potatoes of a team. They excel in direct combat, taking direct hits and dishing out damage with melee weapons. They dabble in gunplay, but will not use magical force. Magical equipment yes, magic itself no. Weapon Proficiencies: Pistol, Auto, Polearm, Bladed, Blunt Armor Proficiencies: Heavy, Medium, Light, simple
Pirate A sailor of some sorts always seeking booty. Some seek causes, some seek money, others seek chaos, all bend the law to do so. After all, raiding isn't illegal if it's "eace keeping". Whatever they do, they do it with style, with swagger equaling effect for them. Weapon Proficiencies: Blades, Polarms, Pistols, Cannons, Rifles Armor Proficiencies: Coats, Simple
Musicians The living body of a muse. Their memory for songs is limitless, and at a glance they can play a song like a non-musician with decades of memorization and practice. They are the only ones who can use the mysterious musical weapons. Musicians, rock out! Weapon Proficiencies: Musical Armor Proficiencies: Simple, Exotic
Syntical Synticals are one with the shadows. They can-and often do-steal from others to make ends meet. They are masters of gunplay, but not so much with anything else. Weapon Proficiencies: All Ranged Classes Armor Proficiencies: Light, Coat, Simple
Avatars Avatars are exemplars of their chosen deity and believe those who follow others are in the wrong. Their powers remain so long as they remain aligned with their god of choice. Weapon Proficiencies: Polearms, Blunt, Bladed, Rifle, Sniper Armor Proficiencies: Heavy, Medium
Wizard Masters of magic who enter combat doing whatever they want with it. They can strike many foes with a single use of magic, weakening entire hordes for their allies to slaughter. Proficient Weapons: Staffs, Wands, All Magic Proficient Armors; Simple
Vansibanes Hermits who live alone, only associating with those who they trust implicitly. Their magical knowledge is rivaled by none. Magic oozes from every pore of their body...and in some cases, so does stench. Proficient Weapons: Staffs, Bladed, Pistols Proficient Armors: Simple
Cleric These are the guys you always need, the guys who can heal. They combine medical knowledge with healing magic to cure their allies any way they can. After seeing so many cadavers, they have become largely atheist, even in the face of Avatars. Proficient weapons: Blunt, Staffs, Pistol, Sniper Proficient Armor: Light, Simple
Races:
Cheezburgians: The cat people! They have heightened senses and are very agile, but are not as strong or durable as other races.(+3 PER/AGI, -3 STR/END)
Youtubians: The race of cyborgs! They are more intelligent than average, but their robotic enhancements slow them down. (+2 INT, -2 AGI)
Chanians: The huge gorilla people! Their massive size gives them more strength and endurance, but they are dumber and less charismatic than average. (+3 STR/END, -3 INT/CHA)
Trollix: Galactic politicians that happen to be dragon men! They are luckier than average and more charismatic, but their scales make them less agile and they cannot see well. (+2 CHA/LCK, -2 AGI/PER)
Behemel: The largely hated space nazis! Their aggressive tendencies make other races hate them and they are largely unlucky , but they are more agile, strong and durable than others. (+2 STR/END/AGI, -3 CHA/LCK)
Collective: The once rulers of the whole **** universe! They have good eyes and can sweet-talk well, but they aren't as strong or lucky as most. (+2 PER/CHA, -2 LCK/STR)
Balcheans: The warmongering frogs! They are stronger and more agile than anyone by average, but are easy to squish and can't see well. (+4 STR/AGI, -4 END/PER)
Tropers: The gem-laden race of infinite wisdom and beauty! They are smarter and more charismatic than others, but their gem skin makes them less agile and their gem eyes make it harder to see. (+3 INT/CHA, -3 PER/AGI)
PHEW. So, now we wait for about...six people to make characters!

The group heads back though the passage and back through the passage you're not sure what it is. The passage eventually leads into a room where you can actually see the entirety. On the ceiling, pale blue crystals are reflecting the light. You can see normal grass and dirt approaching the center of the room leading to a normal blue pond. You can see a tree with a small figure leaning up against it. You're too far away to tell details, but you can tell he doesn't have any weapons on him. The figure seems to spot you and pushes a sort of canoe over to your side of the pond/lake/body of water. The canoe is big enough to fit two medium-sized people, four small people or one large person.
(Just FYI, Chronos, Demyx and Guild are large, Trollra, Largo, Weaver and Mort are medium)

Chronos: You boat your way across and get a 9 to throw, throwing the boat about a foot. The figure says: "Uh, we kinda needed that boat, dude. We were going to ride it back across, right? I doubt you need to bring your entire party here."
Demyx: You roll a 14 and manage to launch yourself directly into the water. Thankfully, you roll a 19 to not drown and are now keeping your metal behind afloat. The figure seems amused by this.

Demyx: You successfully swim to the little island with the figure and the boat. You realize that the figure does not look like any race you have seen. It looks like a very small, non-buff, non-hairy Chanian.
Chronos: You cannot fit Demyx, yourself and the figure on the boat, and the figure sure as heck can't row both of you across. The Figure: "Hey, my name is Jin, just so you know."

Demyx: Jin: "Yeah, I can probably fit the gorilla and myself onto the boat. He has to row, though. I have no idea how I got here, I may have been drunk."
Guild: 20! You find a few chunks of the crystals above you. You also find a waterlogged Small-caliber SMG and the remains of a boat.
Mort: Okay, I will be impressed if you can make a shot from across the lake. It could happen, but...also, you're lucky Jin doesn't see you draw your bow. By the way, do you notch a Steelhead or an Ironhead?

I want to point out that I almost always have my bow in my hand (but without an arrow), so I don't exactly 'draw' my bow. You also forgot to update my sheet regarding the locket.
