Step into a world of imagination, where people can be anything, fight anywhere, and work towards any goal.
Welcome to Anarchy Adventure! Also known as "an RPG Take on Wiki-Warfare", also known as "Bay12: Legion", which was also known as "Chaos Chronicles", etc, etc.

Going to be trying this idea just one more time, and here's what that idea is: imagine an RP or an RPG, but your characters are randomly pulled together by online articles, random generators, and character fragments submitted communally, all with the goal of giving you a truly wonderful experience you could never have predicted. Rather than using your Avatar or giving you a Character Sheet, this game will be determined by the luck of the draw.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

Similar to Wiki-Warfare, the game is a d10-based Roleplaying Game. Checks will be rolled with a single d10, with + and - Modifiers presented via your character's abilities. The game functions on Chunky Salsa Rules, meaning characters take realistic injuries and healthbars are absent entirely.

Games will be presented as "Campaigns", each one having a different, randomly-generated villain or disaster to stop. A mysterious volcano? A powerful Necromancer? That sort of thing.

So! If you are interested, here's how characters will be laid out:

Spoiler: Character Layout (click to show/hide)

Name: Your name. Can be anything and come from anywhere in either the World or Fantasy.
Species: Your particular race, which can, again, come from anywhere. Species have some buffs and debuffs to stay aware of. For example, your common, garden variety human has great potential for growth, but no special powers linked to their biology.
Flavor (Bio): Some flavor to add to your character, but that doesn't mean much. These are your Gender (Cis or Trans, as either a Man, Woman, or NB person), Age, and Sexuality, all of which are randomly determined. There is also Nationality, which is determined by where your Name and Species come from. For example, a Human Woman named Lupita Yienya will obviously come from South Sudan, as that name is of Luo origin.

Positive Traits: Things you are good at, that can range from special abilities to simple stat increases. You receive two of these.
Negative Traits: Things that hinder you, ranging from weak spots to simply poor abilities. You receive two of these.
Powers: Exceptional abilities, stronger than the normal skills found in Positive Traits. If one of your Positive Traits is a great skill in Drone Flying, this is your ability to build and fly incredibly complex Combat Drones. If you can transform, like a Saiyan from Dragon Ball or the like, this is where your Super Saiyan abilities would go. You receive two of these.
Weapon(s): The weaponry you are most skilled with, be they melee or ranged or throwable. Morningstars, Shurikens, guns, knives, hatchets, bows and arrows, molotov cocktails, improvised weapons like shivs and bottles, joke weapons like dead fish or chew toys! All of them and more are here. You can gain anywhere from 1-3 of these, and automatically gain one weapon per Weapon Mastery at the start of the game.

Flavor: Origin: Where did you come from?
Flavor: Present: Where did you go?
Starting Items: Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? This is where you'll receive non-weapon items that are both randomly determined and make the most sense for who your character was. Cellphones, vehicles, mounts, etc.
Associates: NPCs that mean a lot to you, be they friend or foe. Are they family? Or are they enemies?

Players: 6/6:
BlackPaladin99, VermilionSkies, Glass, King Zultan, Centipede, Beirus

Waitlist: 0/Infinite

And here is an example character I'm making to ensure this fuckin' game actually works, lol
Also, for full transparency: not everything is randomized-randomized. I obviously can't put every single Fantasy Race or a million Biographies into a List Randomizer. A lot of this is my imagination, aided by the online articles, random generators, and character fragments. Nothing will be 100% designed by my computer.

Spoiler: Example (click to show/hide)

Name: Tarmila Longmace
Species: Dwarf (a humanoid-like figure with blue skin and a slightly shorter stature. You are skilled in the mines (+2 to Blunt Weapon Attacks, and any checks related to Mining, Stone, or Gems), but the years of evolving in the caves and under mountains have resulted in light sensitivity (-2 to Perception Checks during the daytime.) Dwarves can live to 350 Years Old.)
Flavor (Bio): Cis Woman, 228 Years Old, Asexual, Tormjunder (You come from the Tormjund Mountains)

Positive Traits: Musical Maestro (+2 to Music) and Religious Scholar (+2 to Religious Studies)
Negative Traits: Poor Time Management (-2 to Scheduling and Timing) and Technologically Unsavvy (-2 to Checks regarding Computers and Technology)
Powers: The Favor (You are favored by the Dwarven Goddess Tsalmika, who resides over the Sphere of Trust and Responsibility. Once per 24-Hour Period, you can force someone into an Unbreakable Favor, which they must complete within a certain time limit lest they receive massive damage.)
The Lighthouse (You are a living light and a testament to the darkness that you will never surrender. You are able to release light from your eyes, which can be used to light up dark areas or blind enemies.
Weapon(s): Auriel's Shield (a mystical shield from the realm of Nirn. Successful Defense rolls build up a Charge that can be utilized to knock back or even violently push enemies.)
Tsalmika's Blade (a sword granted to all worshipers of Tsalmika. It has no special enchantments, but using it enough will grant favor.)

Flavor: Origin: Born 228 years ago in Malkaska, a township formed under the Tormjund Mountains, your parents knew you were destined for greatness. Under the watchful eye of the Goddess Tsalmika, and surrounded by the precious jewels and gems of your homeland, you trained to be her sword, her mace, and her shield.
Flavor: Present: You have now left home to spread her word, accompanied by no one but her explicit trust.
Starting Items: Iron Armor, Bag of Gems and Jewels, Coin Purse
Associates: Tsalmika (Friendly Goddess)

Looks like we're gonna have a varied cast of characters for this thing.

These look good.

I was kind of hoping everyone would respond to their character. Ah, well, I don't work on Holidays, so after tomorrow, start looking forward to something!

[King Zultan]

Maybe they'll show up and say something this time.
