[align=center][spoiler=Rules]

Rules

 

All YCM rules apply.

-No Godmodding. (I know the temptation to do so, just bear it)

-No Spamming/Flaming (Unless under reason, specified when asked)

 

Other Rules

-I want a minimum of at least 1 sentence. No fragments unless reasonable.

-Proper punctuation and spelling. (At least try, I wouldn't know if: "I'za lices meh's somes peys" means: "I like pie.")

This will progress as I find more botherings in this Role-Play.

 

Breaking one of these rules will result in a warning. If you break the same rule twice, you will get neg reped. If you break the same rule three times, you will be banned. If you break three different rules, you will get neg repped. If you break five different rules, you will be banned. Simple, right?

 

 

[spoiler=Plot]

Plot

A book... A regular, old book. This book, you ask, does it allow chaos to enter this world, and corrupt it until extinction? Such a stupid question will only get you a stupid answer. No. Does such a book destroy the fabrics of time and space, and splits the souls of our kind in two with no ease? Such a foolish question will only get you a foolish answer. No. But is this book only an ordinary book? Is its purpose like any other old book, to tell a story? Is this book, dare I say, normal? Now these questions, these questions can get you a smart, well thought out answer. Yes. And what your about to experince cannot bring chaos, and cannot rip anything in two, but all it can do is tell a story, and the reader can only listen to its quiet sound. For this is a book. In fact I'm being informal. This is THE book. THE storybook. And this story book is just a book. Or is it...

 

 

[spoiler=Items]

Items

During your adventures, you gain Items. Items are useful materials that help you on the field and in battle. In order to obtain Items, you must first get a backpack. Backpacks are found in any town at any time. They will always be 20 UC (20 Universal Coins). Items are obtained in 3 ways. One is buying one in a shop. Another is finding one on the ground. The last one can be obtained by beating a foe. If you want to buy one at a shop, say: "_____ entered a shop in _____" Replace the first blank with your character's name, and replace the second blank with the town's name. Then, look at the list below of town names, and find the item you want. State the item and how much it costs. Then, state that you payed the money and how much money you have left. Since there is different currency for each Realm, just state the currency you used to buy the item.

 

For example:

Wayne entered a shop in Zendaria Town.

Wayne bought a Potion.

Wayne payed 5 UC.

Wayne has 5 UC left.

 

If you want to obtain an item from the ground, say: "______ found a...", replacing the first blank with your name. Do NOT name the item you want. I will pick the item for you, depending on your skill level. You can even find money on the floor, or you could find a plain old stick. Some items have multiple forms. Like a bomb could be on or off. But different types of bombs are named with different titles. If you want it, next post say: "_____ put the item in his/her backpack.", replacing the blank with your character's name.

 

For example:

Alex found a...

 

Next post (I can only say this!):

Alex found a bomb (Off)

 

Next post:

Alex put the bomb (Off) in his backpack.

 

If you continue to use this every time you post, the rarity of your items will decrease, and you'll just continue to find mud, rocks and sticks. So I advise not to abuse this method, or you'll be dealing with lots of trash.

 

Defeating foes is another method of getting items. When defeating foes, you will get an item based on your foe's skill level. Some foes might hold two items. If you defeat another RPer, you gain an item and they don't get anything. Their skill level doesn't decrease, too.

[spoiler=Item List]

Items are sorted. You get items depending on your skill level. They are sorted in colors, so don't pick the wrong color!

[spoiler=Basic Life]

Basic Life

In order to survive, you must know some things. First off, you must keep your stamina at a certian rate. You all start out with 10/10 Health, 0/15 Hunger, and 0/15 Thirst. If your health drops to 0/10, you lose 5 skill levels, a certian amount of money, and all of your materials. If you get 15/15 Hunger or 15/15 Thirst, the same will happen. So it is important to keep aware of such, so that you don't lose a lot. Also, there is something called a Skill Gauge. This determines the amount of experience you have gained. When you get enough experience, you move up one Skill Level. Moving up Skill Levels hightens your Max Stats. You can only gian experience through fighting. This is an example of a fight-

Shadow A appears!

HP:7|ATK:5|DEF:4|Speed:6|

 

Next Post-

Ray atacked with A Bow and Arrow.

This does -4 Damage.

 

Next Post-

Shadow A attacked with Shadow Force.

Shadow Force does -3 Damage.

 

Next Post-

Ray attacked with Sword.

This does -4 Damage.

Shadow A Died.

 

This format is very tedious, and no one would stand to have a battle like this. This is just a basic format, you don't have to follow it. As long as your character does an action, its acceptable. Experience does still apply, so don't worry about that. Level does determine a lot in this RP. Short-Ranged Attacks can only deal damage from a short distance. Long-Range Attacks can attack from a long range. Timed Attacks take time to activate. Defense Attacks defend the player using the attack. Throwing Attacks involve the player to throw the item in order for it to work.

 

 

[spoiler=Areas]

There are many different areas to explain. Discovering an area isn't very common, so if you do, good for you. If you discover an area, you get to name it, and a boss will appear in that area. If you can get to that area's boss and defeat it, you gain a very fancy prize. We all start in a town named Thisdale Town. This town's main attraction is a Story Book. When your in Thisdale Town, you have no powers, no weapons, and cannot get hurt. This place is inaccesible until the end of a Chapter, after defeating the boss. Then you can return back, but when the next Chapter starts, you reappear back in the storybook. An area is wide, consisting of about three natural areas. You will battle things along your way.

[spoiler=Xerxes]

Name: Xerxes

Age: 19

Skill Level: 1

Power: Chaos (That is, the ability to change the elemental composition of one object into a different type, usually raw energy. Difficult to control what it actually turns into; The best you can hope is to change an object into a random Solid, Liquid, or Gas.)

Weapons: None

Bio: An orphan, adopted frequently but always returned. At first, he was a mute, for no apparent reason, until people discovered his past.

Xerxes was born with the ability to change objects into different states; as a child, he accidentally transformed his cradle into water, his blankets into iron, and a table into Helium gas. He stopped speaking when this ability killed one of his parents (he can't remember which), by turning part of their body into liquid Mercury. Since then, he's been passed around by various families, none of which wish to deal with the consequences of his semi-voluntary "gift". People who've tried to exploit it by getting him to turn, say, Lead into Gold, are sadly disappointed when they learn that not only is he unable to select what they turn into, but he's never actually turned anything into solid gold. As he got older, Xerxes left the orphanage himself with a bitter outlook on life, making due through a life of theft and threats with his ability.

Description: Xerxes has short, startlingly red hair, green eyes, and a lithe, though muscled body. His body parts are often out of proportion with eachother; he has large eyes, a small head, wide shoulders, a thin middrift, thick legs, and thin arms. He often wears normal clothing, though he switches often, as though he's learned to more control his ability, he still occasionally converts what he's wearing into different elements.

Age: 28

The small town where he was found there was no one there who was about to have a child, in plus he was twelve at the time anyway and no one had a child of that age. They asked him questions but he didn't know the answers, his life from when he was one through twelve were gone. It was like someone ripped the first twelve chapters out of a book and then gave it to a new person to read. Tsukaeru from then on live his life with an old couple that decided to take him in. He did his work and chores and after he turned twenty one he left home in search of his twelve years of lost memories. Tsukaeru has been looking for his parents/memories for seven years, and he still came up with absolutely nothing.

One question- do Skill Levels also dicate how strong someone's Power is?

[Altαir]

Yes, Skill Levels do determine how strong you are. It's just a way for me to keep track of what you do, when you do it, and your rate of progress. I'm a half-perfectionist, so I like to have things in order. And yes, you are accepted.

[ayy lmao]

You haven't added me.

[Altαir]

Oh, okay, I just added you.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

ooc: What kind of weapons will there be? For instance could I have a gun or is this more of a past weaponry age?

[Altαir]

This is more of a past weaponry age. Mostly swords and arrows. The bombs do make it kinda modern though... I guess guns can be an option.

Tsukaeru awoke to a sunny day and the casual and calming breeze rustling the leaves like there was magic in the weather. He leaned over to the side of his bed and put on his green leather jacket, green pendent, black pants, and no shirt as he always did every morning. "The weather..." Tsukaeru spoke first but then took a pause to think to himself for a moment. "Is the opposite of my life. It continues to shine and be happy, bringing salvation and good feelings to many souls on this earth. And I, remain suffering and burdened by the constant darkness that seems to be ripping my soul apart..." He finished his statement and went to his kitchen. Rather then doing something productive or going out like normal people would, he would just sit there. All day sitting there in the dim shadowy light of the small cramped kitchen, looking over a world map that seemed to have hundreds of red X's on them and a few blue circles...

[Läufer]

Rex awake at a dark & stormy day. He stared at the sky and said, "Life aren't fair...". When he was about to sleep again, somehow he remembered about his mom and the piece of paper she gave him before she died. Rex searched for the paper for like 1 hr, and then he finally found it. It was at the trash can. And hen he started to think, "I'm so stupid! Why'd I threw away the paper in the garbage?! My mom would be angry if she was here." And then he looked at the map and gasped,"Holy Cow! this is a treasure map! This is what my dad was talking about when I was little!" After all the shock, Rex started to stare at he map seriously. And he find the letter: "Skull Island Treasure Map" on top of the paper. And then he started to think, "Hmmm...Skull Island huh? This might be an exciting adventure!"

[Hydra of Ages]

Xerxes sighed as he watched the clouds pass by. He had an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach... he wasn't sure what to call it. Anxiety? He doubted. What did he have to be anxious about? He had no friends, no family... No job, nothing that really brought him pleasure. He 'Gift' had seen to that; Anything tangible he might enjoy would get changed before his eyes, into something useless of something dangerous. Nobody would hire him, and nobody wanted to get close to him. Probably for the best; By now, he was jaded. He was used to being alone... he'd probably reject anyone that came near him.

"A vicious Cycle..." He muttered to himself, walking in a random direction, as if he didn't care where he was.

ooc:How should I start?

[Altαir]

OoC: You can start any way you wish. Most people are starting waking up from bed, so I'd advise something related to morning time. Try to also start out basic, kinda like a normal day. But that's what I think.
