Elements RPG for Realz this time by Gl1tch https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=10595.msg130036#msg130036
« on: August 03, 2010, 02:04:44 am »
Welcome to elements RPG, where you'll play an elemental in the world of elements.  I'll be your host and DM for the time the thread stays alive.  By studying the creatures around you, you'll learn to understand their abilities, and eventually tame them, mastering spells and learning how to thrive in the world.  But you aren't there yet.  For now, you start as a simple level one.

To sign up, simply post an active ability in the game, and your character description.  This means physical appearance, not backstory.  Feel free to write it, but don't share it yet, we wouldn't want to metagame.

In this world, it will NOT be false god versus false god.  Instead, false gods will be just that.  False gods.  Most religious folks worship one, although it has no change in the environment.  Instead, other battles will happen.  The royal family and true bloods are mono from each element, and interelemental battles are normally waged by true bloods.  But there are other factions as well, and classist battles too.  There can be entire communities based upon duos, and those who use rainbow can either be enlightened monks or powerthirsty slave drivers.  Religious sects might also cause war.  It's pretty chaotic in the world.

As far as world goes, we have a few options.  Here are the maps you may choose from:


A map I made for world of elements, each element has six neighbors whom all have synergy.  The borders are the same color as the place they warp to.  The hexagons are more rough representations than actual countries, which aren't as clear cut as that.  It's more of a political map.  Anywhere that isn't owned is occupied by the void, which has been condemned to the radioactive wastes.  (this game takes place AFTER the events of the last one, despite being on a different map.  Hence, all FGs are dead)

The aetherian dimension is small sphere in which the beings of aether live.  The six wormholes travel across the world, and they look like light blue lens-wall things.  You can see through them and see the land you're warping to, and on the other side, you can see what would be behind these strange walls if they weren't there.

The city of clouds is actually the largest city in the land, but because it is made up of sporadic moving islands, they have approximately the same land as everyone else.  Because of the solid nature of clouds, there are only certain points you can use to get up or down, which are located on updrafts for ease of use.  The weird purple dot in the middle of entropy is actually a hole, and you're looking down into the land of death.  Those are the pits, and they're used to get from air to death.

The hidden roots are in a small island in the middle of the void filled wastes.  After the elves were obliterated, they used the power of the great tree to form a small island that cannot be reached easily.  To get there, you must use winding caves that are extremely protected.

The underworld is also reached by caves.

Alternatively, we can use the ASCII map I made.

The Map:
XXXX^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
XXX^^^††††††††††††^^AA^^TTTTTTTTTTTTTTG^^^^MMM^
XXX^^^†††††††††††^AAAAAA^TTTTTTTTTTTTTGG^^MMMMM^

XX^^^FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF^^EEE^^DDDDDDDDDSSSS^MMMM^^
XXX^^VVVVVVVVVVVVVV^EEEEEE^DDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS^^^^
XXXX^^VVVVVVVVVVVVV^EEEEEEEE^^DDDDDDSSSSSSSS^^
XXXXXXX^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Key:
X = Toxic sea
^ = Mountain
V = Valley
F = Forest
~ = Lake
† = Land of light
A = Aether mountains
C = Entropic Chaos
E = Earth's land
T = Desert of Time
D = Land of darkness
S = Death's swamps
G = Gravity City
M = Magma Mountains

No, you may NOT use Icy's old map, the "uncharted shore" screws everything up.  If the WoE map ever comes out, it's also an option.  So... feel free to sign up.

OH!  I almost forgot.  You all start out with basic armor, (armor class works like this.  It takes a 12 on a D20 to land an attack.  If your armor is +1, suddenly, enemies need a 13 to hit you.  If it's -12, you'll be hit no matter what.  Best armor class is +8).  You also start out with 10 days ration, and a weapon of your choosing.

Sign ups start now!

I want Neurotoxin from dune scorpion

if I can't have that, I want infest, from Malignant Cell

if I can't have that, then Venom from pufferfish.

When you tell me which I can have, I'll make an appropriate character.

User: Helios

Name: Eridael

Appearance: Like all young Angels whom have not yet become full-fledged members of their race; tall from the perspective of certain Middlerealm inhabitants, but not overly so like full Angels or Archangels, a white light exudes from him which is comforting, but not brilliant like a greater Angel. His eyes are innocently blue; wings beautiful, but not impressively large (yet, in any event)

Ability: Heal

Character: BloodShadow

Name: Jonathan Haemos Shade

Element: Darkness

Ability: Vampire. Through the use of Darkness magic, Jonathan gets healed whenever he does damage to his opponent. His opponent doesn't actually have to bleed, he/she just has to be hurt in some way. Jonathan can actually suck blood if he wants to, however.

Equipments: Jonathan starts with a generic Long Sword. It's about 1 meter long, with the hilt and guard of a saber and the blade of a Japanese katana. He also has a Short Sword (33 cm) hidden under his cloak.

Appearance: Jonathan mostly resembles a normal human. Details described below.
 Hair: Blood-red, medium length, spiky. Refer to anime characters Ichigo Kurosaki and Naruto Uzumaki.
 Eyes: Blood-red, with slitted catlike/snakelike pupils. Sclera is pitch-black instead of the normal white.
 Face: Sinisterly handsome, but mostly human. Has sharp, retractable vampiric incisors.
 Skin: Halfway between Asian and white.
 Height: 180 cm
 Weight: Unknown. He can move as quickly and nimbly as a shadow, so weight is hardly relevant.
 Build: Lean, athletic but not overly muscular. Stronger than he looks.
 Markings: Jonathan has a large ornate black tattoo on his back, resembling a modified and stylized Mark of Darkness. This tattoo enables him to use his Vampire ability.
 Clothing: Jonathan usually wears a long black cloak, in which he hides his weapons. Under the cloak he wears a black assassin's garb, designed for speed, agility, and blending into the shadows.

Personality:
 Virtues: Jonathan cares very deeply about his family, friends, and loved ones. He will do anything, including risking his own life, to protect the ones he cares about. He is also very honorable, always helping those who helped him before.
 Vices: Jonathan is proud and arrogant, very confidant of his abilities, and does not back down from a fight. Humility is a virtue he absolutely does not have; when provoked, Jonathan will most likely fight down to his last breath, until he is dead or his enemy admits defeat.
 Morality: Jonathan is cold and merciless toward his enemies; he does not enjoy killing, but he will not hesitate to kill when necessary. He prefers to use words rather than weapons to solve a problem, but if provoked he will fight back viciously. You don't want to provoke him.
 Intellect: Jonathan is ruthless and cunning. He judges people by intelligence, and looks down on mindless brutes.
 Temperament: Choleric/Melancholic. He isn't very easy to get along with.
 Beliefs: The moral alignments of the Elements only depend on their users. He despises any belief that depicts Darkness as the equivalent of evil.
 Orientation: Straight. He prefers intelligent females, though.
 Affiliations: None as of now.

User: DDevans
Name: Salestor

Ability: Lobotomize

Appearance: Tall, slender humanoid with teal skin, navy blue metal bands on forearm, wrist, thigh, calf, and stomach, and pale blue bands on chest, forehead, waist, and feet, leaving only his face, elbows, hands, and knees showing his skin. Very dark brown hair laid back, and piercing blue eyes (is this acceptable?)

User: $$$man

Name: Aira

Race: Human

Appearance: A 19 year old male usually cloaked in a blue sorcerer robe. (*hint* hint*) He has a lean build and has a bow that he named Aflazon (*hint* *hint*) and an nearly unlimited amount of arrows. He also has some mediocre meelee skills.

Weapon: His bow aflazon and his melle skills.
 
Power: Snipe

User: Bender74D
Name: Swift Lighthart
Ability: Ignite
Disc: Swift is slightly above average in hight, however he is below average in stature.  Swift looks frail and weak compared to most others.  He wears a hooded cloak pulled tightly over his head in addition to the clothing that he wears to cover almost every inch of his body...in fact the only portion of bare skin that is visiable is his nose when it protrudes from the shadowy depths of his cloak. 

All clothing and gear:
Hooded Cloak / Gloves / Long sleave shirt / pants / boots / several pouches hung from the belt around his waist / a jewel around his neck that is neatly tucked under his shirt / Large Walking Staff / and a sachel which carrys misc gear (ie rations)

User: Purity_Riot
Full Name (legal): John Doe
Name at birth: Unknown
Aliases/Nicknames (if any): Thrice
Title(s): Shadow-walker
Preferred name: Thrice or Three in any language. Preferably Kolme
Age/Date of Birth: 27
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity: Two-spirit Pansexual
Race/Ethnicity: Elemental (Darkness)
Skin Tone: Midnight black
Height: 5'9”
Weight: 170 lbs.
Build: Slender, but trim. Like a well oiled machine, Thrice has a very low body fat percent, but also avoids bulky muscle, preferring use over mass.
Eyes: white
Hair: Thick auburn hair, though he shaves his head bald (assuming we have hair)
Clothes Style: Non-descript mottled grey clothes, which he refers to as his 'greys'. Designed to blend into darkness better
Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc.: A large viscious looking scar on his right thigh, and many small whip marks on his back. A tattoo of his guild symbol behind his ear
Religion: Believes in Karma, and fate, is very spiritual, but does not worship a god.
Political Affiliation: None. Whatever group pays more.
Education: Ten years of private school at a church
Languages spoken: Each of the native languages of the World of Elements, and many of their dialects.
Weapon: Senbon

Name: Korugar(if it's a problem to use our own name, I'll come up with a different one)

Race: Werewolf/Wereleopard hybrid(may we make up our own?)

Appearance: His Were form is almost completely that of the leopard part of his people, with completely black fur, he looks almost exactly like his race's namesake except for a few key points. His front paws/hands are a humans hands, though they have short fur on them, as well as lethally sharp claws on the end. While it is not noticeable when he is on all fours, his chest is slightly broader, and his (hind) legs longer than that of a leopard. He has absolutely no problem walking on two legs when in his shifted form. When in human form he is a hairy man, well muscled, but still gives an appearance of being somewhat slender. His hair is jet black, and his facial features are feline enough to be noticed by anyone talking to him in good light.

Weapon: Due to his claws and teeth, he doesn't normally use a weapon for fighting. However, if you want me to include one, it would be a medium-long length bow. It would not be his first choice in a fight(moving targets), however, because he is accustomed to using it for hunting only(still targets). Because I sort of have two weapons, I'd say give him a serious roll disadvantage if he every tries to use his bow on someone else. If you want to count his teeth and claws as his weapon, and exclude the bow, I'll take it out.

Power: Lycanthrope

Do you guys mind if I join too? I have my character ready.
Name: Sappara

Element: Death

Ability: Devour: Eat your opponents to gain strength. The most hated ability in all of the land.

Equipment: A 2-foot long Khopesh as can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khopesh

Appearance: Tall and wears a knee-length black trench coat. He has medium-length black hair and a muscular build. His canines are noticeably longer and sharper than normal so that most people are somewhat unsettled when he grins. His breath constantly reeks of rotting flesh, except, of course, when he is eating fresh flesh. Then it smells like normal flesh.

When you tell me which I can have, I'll make an appropriate character.
Infest is illegal.

If you choose Neurotoxin/Venom, you'll play like an assassin and/or ninja, using poison weapons to fight.  Poison dagger, poison, arrow, either way, your method will be stealth.

The difference: Venom allows for more notoriety or fame than Neurotoxin.
Ill take either
A) Immortality 8)
B) Steal (from mutants)
C) Snipe (actually this is higher up preferaly my first)
D) Growth+Pheonix
Gimme one and ill post.
Immortality is all about survival and pacifism.  An immortal fighter doesn't no how to strike, but how to block.

Mutant abilities aren't allowed.

Snipe makes you a long shot with a bow.  You're opponents get a -1 armor for long range attacks, but +1 at point blank range.

You may not have two abilities at level one.

Growth is your basic tank.  You aren't a fighter, but you don't die easily.

Pheonix is all about feints.  Fake attacks, fake death, you name it.  Pheonix players rely on finesse to win their fights.
Ill take Snipe/

Immortality was described above.

Antmatter is all about using your opponents strikes against him.  A quick dodge and topple him over.  Like pheonix, it's a DEX based fighter.

Vampire is just you gaining strength for their pain.  Be you sadist or cannibal, or an actual vampire, I don't care.  You do damage, you gain health.

Deadly venom is basically venom, except harder to use.  Your venom is more expensive, rarer, and you'll have to be evil.

Freeze is an int based skill.  You use your mind to try and scare them into confusing them.  A level one will barely stun for one turn.
