Roll to Be a Planeswalker: a Magic: the Gathering RTD
« on: May 01, 2012, 09:47:26 pm »

You are a planeswalker, traveler of planes, and caster of spells! You are a planeswalker, fighter of battles, vanquisher of enemies, and the supreme of all mages! You are a planeswalker, eye between the planes,deciding point in wars, destroyer of gods, summoner of great and mighty beasts! Bringer of whirlwinds, of apocalypses, of death, of right, a warrior of subtlety, of might! Do you fight for freedom or for law? Do you fight with ice and cold, or hell's fiery maw? Are you the bringer of rays of sun shining with life, or of the night with ghouls rife? The choice is in your hands to make. You will be a planeswalker, traveler of planes. But who are you, and what destiny shall you take?

So this is going to be a MtG RTD in which you are a planeswalker (that much is pretty obvious). But I do have a plot to it, although that'll start after the prologue finishes (in which you become planeswalkers!).  The combat system is fairly complex when dealing with spells, but I think it'll be simple to execute.

((New to MtG, but enjoyed it nonetheless. This sheet is bound to be fraught with errors.))

You guys don't need to all be allied colors. Being constantly pissed at each other is fine.

Bit of a problem, Mcclay- there aren't boggarts in Innistrad, and I'm putting the no planar shenanigans in the bio rule in place for a reason, actually two reason.
A. You become a planeswalker in the prologue.
B. MY PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT (which isn't stone-set but I want a chance to play it out sometime at least to a bit- and planeswalking everywhere before the game would ruin that.)

I'll be happy to tell you. White hates black because it is largely amoral and selfish, breaking its equality for its own gains. Black doesn't like white because white is trying to tell him he's evil and is also trying to wave around that it's good and is trying to restrict him. Black likes getting what it wants and not so much getting restricted. Green, on the other hand, hates black because black is parasitic and opposing its values of life and interdependence. Black hates green because green is also standing in its way and trying to kill it and trying to push its "life" on him. So naturally White-green hates Black's guts and it's going to prolly be mutual although you shouldn't define your characters' RP by a meta understanding of their color- characters aren't defined by their color, as Gideon and Chandra, a white planeswalker and red planeswalker (white and red are enemies) are love interests in one of the novels, far from the hostility that white and red usually how each other (Exemplified in cards like red hating all over white's lands here: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Discussion.aspx?multiverseid=83086)

I'm afraid I can't really help you there.
Except... Changelings (Whih are from Lorwyn. a plane of fairies and elves and boggarts that undergoes an aurora every hundred or something years caused by the fairy queen that turns it into DEATH DARKNESS GLOOM LAND) COULD be vampires and boggarts and the same time.

The set Lorwyn. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=140171 is an example, and they're of every color really.
Edit: A few are also in Morningtide, the set immediately following and connected to Lorwyn.
