This is not an RPG 2.0 https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=9102.msg107316#msg107316

It's not, really.

What it is however, is a twisted, non RPG.

Your goal in this game, is to trip up another player.

There will be 10 players. After the 10 players have been selected, you will each create a character for another to play. You will want to be as detailed in your descriptions of this character as possible, if you want to win.

In each of your posts, you will post part of a story that must include at least one other player and yourself. Your goal in this post is to put the player in a difficult position of some sort, in which they will need to very carefully consider their characters personality and background. There response must not only resolve the situation, but must be in character.

If at the end of their post, they are still in danger, or in a difficult position that they must solve, they are out.

If they post something that is clearly in contradiction to their characters profile, or a post about their character, either by them or by someone else, they are out.

Your goal is to be the last one standing.

If you have any questions, post them here. This is a work in progress, so it may need to be modified before play begins.

Two rules about character creation:

1. the character cannot engage in any action that breaks forum rules, neither can a profile force this on a player.
2. Players may not Godmod.

Here is an example of a good profile:

Player Name: killsdazombies

Name: Shapoofy McRuffruff

Race: Rhale (intelligent rhino - jellyfish crossbreeds. See "Appearance" and "Background".

Element: :water

Appearance: Shapoofy is a very large Rhale. Rhales are basically rhinoceros, except that they have many long tentacles at the base of their body that help them move through the water like jellyfish. These tentacles are multicolored and look sort of like candy worms. Shapoofy also has four legs like regular rhinos, and can walk on land as well as move through the water and breathe in both environments. Shapoofy's body is lime green, although his tentacles are of many different colors. Many of them have patterns, like stripes and polka dots. While standing, Shapoofy is 2 meters tall and several meters long. He weighs several tons and has one horn on his head about a little less than a meter long. This horn is very pointy and dangerous.

Personality: Shapoofy always tries to act tough. Many of his acquaintances know him as an aggressive bully type who always intimidates others. He is the kind of person you see walking down the street, yelling at anyone who bumps into him and threatening store owners if they don't sell him what he wants. Except that you don't see green tentacle rhinos walking down the street very often. However, on the inside, Shapoofy is actually very insecure. He was born with a birth defect that made him green, and he grew up being taunted all the time as a mutant. Thus, over time, he has hardened. Under a lot of stress, though, Shapoofy breaks and becomes insecure once more.

Age: 13

Background: Shapoofy's father was a rhino and his mother was a jellyfish. Don't ask. Although the resulting offspring, Rhales, are not too rare in the ecology of the world, a genetic mutation caused Shapoofy to turn green instead of the traditional color of the Rhales, pink. Thus, Shapoofy was treated as an outcast. In school, he was taunted for being green from a very young age. His mom and dad told him that he "wasn't strange", he was "just unique, like everybody else". But he didn't believe them. By the time he entered Rhale Middle School, his personality had hardened such that he was gruff and mean. He was a big bully to everyone around him.

Then, one day, after a fight with another Rhale, he was sent to the principal's office. He was also angry with the principal, and in the ensuing scene, ripped him inside out and proceeded to trash the school and then the city. Shapoofy was promptly expelled from school. After this incident, his parents cracked and kicked him out of the house, telling him to "find a job or something and never come back".
 
Belongings: None

Abilities:

1) Amphibious: Shapoofy can survive both under and above the water.
2) Rage: You don't like him when he's angry. Shapoofy adds to his already prodigious strength. This skill allows him to gain massive physical strength. He has been known to charge through cities and literally leave a trail of destruction in his wake. However, his capacity to think intelligently is reduced and it only lasts as long as he is still angry.
3) Tentacles: Shapoofy's tentacles are very useful. Because his feet lack opposable thumbs, he uses his tentacles to grab things. Additionally, they work as great weapons, especially en masse. They have stinging cells on them, allowing him to inflict severe physical pain and even poison with them. However, this is also a liability; handshakes usually don't turn out very well.
4) Intimidation: Maybe it's because he's green. Maybe it's because he's been doing it for so long. Or maybe it's because he's a frigging walking tank. But Shadoofy can intimidate nearly everyone who surrounds him. People around him tend are widely affected, ranging from apprehensive to running away.
5) Thick Skin: Normally, Shapoofy has thick skin that is difficult to pierce. However, if he wants to, he can make this skin even thicker until it's even harder to pierce. Although it does not last for very long, it is a very useful ability especially when coupled with Rage.
The following is a good example for a difficult character, though it may require more detail for increased difficulty.

Player Name: Dectrya

Name: Samantha the Suicidal Superhero

Race: Hyper-intellegent Robot

Element: :gravity

Appearance: Samantha is a Sexy Seventeen year old Super hero.  She dons Somewhat Sad clothing, of gothic origin.  She Seems to Shop at "hot topic".

Personality:  She Sometimes fights Some Sinister Psycho's by foiling their Somewhat Sinister plans.  She does this by Somehow Stopping their Set-up while trying to commit Suicide.  it's all very Sudden and coincidental.

Age: Seventeen

Background: Samantha Stopped her first Sinister plot when She was Six.  She didn't Seem to understand why Some people Saw her as a Super hero and Savior.  after Several years of this Serious confusion, She became Suicidal.
 
Belongings: None

Abilities:

1) Suicidal: Samantha is attempting Suicide at every Second of her Strange life.
2) Savior: Samantha always Somehow Saves the day Successfully.
3) Alliterate: most words Start with "S".

I'll join if it's still open in about a week. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I won't get back until the next Monday, but if you're having trouble filling up you quota of players and you're just one short when I'm almost back, feel free to start it a bit before I arrive. Is that OK, Purity?

We were going to wait for 10, but apparently their isn't enough interest.

We're going to do Profiles a bit different this time. Everyone will post their profiles, then claim a character that was already posted. If a character is claimed, you cannot claim it. Once you've claimed a character, you are stuck with it ;)
