Pokemon:Paper and Rock version
« on: October 26, 2012, 11:40:39 pm »

A long time ago, before the age of peace, before the dire hours of brutal warfare, before  men even knew about the fantastic creatures:
There was the vast nothingness of the universe. A vortex churned and chortled for many years.
Then came an egg, and in that egg: creation.
With 1000 arms the beast shaped Space
With 1000 arms the beast shaped Time
With 1000 arms the beast shaped Distortion.
The sons of the beast created the world.
The sons of the beasts created  emotions to feel, knowledge to seek,  power to process. Not just for Man, but for all of the beings on Earth.
While the world was still young, and the beasts still slaved, three more Great Beasts appeared.
One was born of churning sea.
One was born of stout land.
And the last was born of the sky.
The son of the Sea set forth to spread the oceans, the son of land set forth to spread land, and the son of sky simply protected his mother, like all good sons do. The beast of 1000 arms was so impressed by the Son of sky's loyalty, he erected a pillar where the Son of the sky could rest briefly.
The son of the Sea met the Son of the Land, and the two struggled for supremacy. The son of the sky took pity on the two, and broke up the battle. The Son of land took refuge in its mothers womb. The Son of the Sea took refuge in its mother's womb. And they still sleep there to this day.
They world was soon inhabited, by the first ones. The Beast of 1000 arms blessed the first with the gift of shape-shifting. They flourished and enjoyed making mischief, and the Giant was a particularly fun victim.
Eventually the giant got fed up, and crushed one third of the first ones. The first ones did not die, but became the Formless. Simple creatures that could only morph into what they see. The giant then pulled apart the land, and created three sons before going to sleep.
His first son refused to go to sleep.
His second son decided to take a nap.
His third son went into a long slumber.
After the lands were split, the seas spread, and the air became calm the Beast of 1000 arms and all of his sons slept, but without the influence of the creator the first ones lost their ability to change their form as they see fit. One third of the first ones were formless, one third of the first ones were stuck in their changed forms, and one third remained the same.
The first ones separated and began to colonize the world.
And so the age of men began...

Seeing as this is a suggestion game, I would assume that we take control of "The First Ones" and do some stuff.

You will be playing as a human in the first act. After that you will be playing as a "collective" human civilization. By the time humans arrive the first ones are pretty much gone. The "monsters"
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
are the 2/3s of the first ones that changed forms/got crushed by the "Giant"

An without further interruption, your forum game.
Stone Age Act I
The Glowing Orb rises as light floods into your cave, you raise yourself from the stonefloor of your cave. You feel..inquisitive today. Your mind is buldging with questions like: What does inquisitive mean? You ponder the question, but your head starts hurting. Perhaps you should start small by answering a few questions.
Are you a boy or a girl?
What should you call yourself
What does the fucker whose been living in the cave next to you call himself?
Your so excited! A world of possibilities await!

Paper

You're Paper! It sounds like a proud and proper name, and you have a wonderful feeling that its a perfect counter to your rival, Rock.
The sun is rising and you step out of your humble cave.
Yo Paper, what took you so long? Forgot you're name again?
Before you can think of a snappy comeback, Rock interrupts you.
Hey listen, you're the only person I know, and if you can't tell we're both men. I know we might be young now, but I have a sinking feeling we won't last forever.
You have no idea what Rock is going on about.
I think it might be a good idea to find some other people like us and form a group. Lead by me of course.
We can't have that! But you just can't say you're the leader. You have to think of some sort of contest to challenge Rock for leadership of the currently nonexistent group.
You hear a shrill cry as something flies overhead. What do you see?

A bird in a very ominous dress.

Oh, and a clever quip: "Paper beats rock!" Save for a good time in the future.

That bird seems pretty scary. You think its wearing a goddamn skull.
Well?
Oh! That scary bird gave you a good idea! You see things like that all the time,and quite a few of them look like they're good fighters. You and Rock could try to catch one to decide who leads the tribe!
You want me to try and catch those HUGE things? You're out of your mind! But I'll do it, but you better obey me when I win. We'll return at sunset to see who caught the better...better.. What should we call these things? I know we'll call em Pokemon. You got to decide the contest, I get to decide what we call these things.
Well that sounds fair.
Remember. We meet at sunset, don't wuss out now!
Wuss out!? Wuss isn't even in your vocalbulary. You gather some supplies(A wooden club ,a net, and a large half eaten berry. You didn't eat half of it because its pretty bitter.) You think about some places where you can find some pokemon.
Let's see...
There's a mountain about a mile from here, smoke occasionally rises from the distance
There's a beach where you like to find pretty shells
There's a scary forest forest filled with stingy bugs, and you could almost swear the plants could move on their own.
