1000 games. That, including this, is the number of games of Roll To Dodge that have been created on this forum. Some of them good, some of them great, some of them legendary. It is time to take these games and make something... legendary. From the entire library of games at your disposal, it is time to take the best and roll through history.

To join, you need to have already played an RTD game. Preferably an old one. Either way, from all the games you have been in, you need to select a character from any game that you played as that character in (e.g. I could pick Kirby because I was Kirby in MKGP). Please link to the game so I can read up about your character, but bonus points for giving me a summary. I'll pick the ten players (Ten? Am I crazy? Yes, but it's the best number to divide into 1000.) with the best (and maybe oldest) characters and roll up a scenario involving all ten character's worlds.

Standard RTD rules will apply. You need to look after your own statuses. Bonus rules will be applied if the worlds allow for it. Some other stuff here. Let's make the 1000th game one to remember.

Aha

AHA

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!


Ah... there's several to choose from, but I shall select... can't even remember his name. Well, doesn't matter, I summon thee from the depths, Metanecromage...

Davar! (I knew it started with a D!)


Davar began as a humble mage in a demonic wasteland, due to a demonic invasion involving a cult, powerful archmage, and bumbling gaggle of mages many years prior. A skilled (+2) necromancer and novice (+1) scholar (arcane magic) and runecrafter, he eventually found his fondness for Arcane magic exceeded his necromancy, and he became quite fond of his ability to levitate (mainly just smooshed him against the ceiling) and generate a blurring shield around himself or others.

He also found his fondness for crafting and looting exceeded his regular combat ability, though he showed great insight in his battle against Moloch, most physically powerful of the world's three demon lords- he figured out how to alter the demon's magical pylons against it, turning its magical strength into degeneration. He also snapped off and kept one of the regeneration pylons, hoping to turn it into something later, and made an awesome, if rather cumbersome, breastplate from the massive demon's incredibly heavy armor, though he graciously gifted said item to a more melee-oriented comrade. Perhaps not surprisingly, he was also the party's best and only blacksmith, an odd profession when you're wandering hellish wastes trying to not be eaten.

Okay, Imma watch this. Maybe participate, though it's doubtful I'd get in.

[Digital Hellhound]

Oh my. Let me dig something truly ancient up. 2010, oh my.

Alethe, daughter of Deceit, psychic dominator extraordinaire! There was nothing this girl couldn't handle. Her routine attempts at pacifying foes unleashed devastating psychic waves that rendered them into brain-dead slaves, and her skill with illusions and invisibility, and her smoothtalking, got her safely away from wrathful gods and pursuing guardsmen alike.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Lynda Kuznetsova, aka Ray, of You Are the Villain. That was the first RtD I ran. If GMing doesn't count as playing...gimme a sec...

[Donuts]

PTW, sadly can't join this
Got neither good or truly "ancient" characters.

[Loud Whispers]

PTW, too fresh an RTD player to have any good characters so I'm watching this one out.

[TheZoomZoll]

Nevermind.
I guess I will just sit on the bench and do nothing.

[Toaster]

While my favorite character is probably Davy Crockett of Magnificent Timelord, that RTD is still active, so I'll go back in time to this far too short gem.

Steve, the greedy psychic, was able to create copies of anything.  Even when his powers were small, he could duplicate houses and mentally create anything he could carry- from a sandwich to a suitcase nuke.  He spent his time making pencils and sandwiches and striving for a sweet ride.

Spoiler: Final status sheet from game, for reference (click to show/hide)

Power: Greed (grade III) - You can create seemingly infinite amounts of objects. In addition you have amazing energy potential, which is much needed since your powers are very expensive.
Psychic Field: Lv1
Energy Potential: 200%
Energy: 300/400
Status: Healthy.

Known power applications:

 Lv1 Razor Storm (50/100 energy)
 You create and launch countless miniature blades at an opponent. 50 energy creates 100 blades, 100 energy creates 300 blades.

 Lv1 Mass Generation (50 energy)
 You create a huge sphere of metal and drop it on your enemy. Easy to dodge, but not many can survive that.

 Lv1 Copy (100 energy)
 You can create perfect copies of anything you see and place them anywhere you want. The bigger the object, the less copies you make. Can't copy sentient creatures. Power so far limited to things not bigger than a suburban house. Dropping it on someone is a valid tactic.

 Lv1 Item Generation (50 energy)
 You can create anything light and small enough for you to carry. These objects can have complex functions, so, for example, psychic weapons or explosives are fine.

 Lv1 Unlimited Creation (passive)
 This skill represents the basic strategy of your powers usage - creating large amounts of objects in a short amount of time.
 -Lv1: You can use active powers twice per turn.

((If that's too short a game, I have an alternate.))

Eh, don't have an old enough character/one from a dead RTD that's not minimalist. Ah, well- PTW.

Mine isn't that old though,we'll just have to see how old Kirby wants them.

[Doomblade187]

My only 'old' RTD char is the one from Einsteininan Roulette. And he's still alive. (Though in a robot body.)

[TopHat]

PTW. Tempted to submit the newly late James Lanthorn from Life begins at death, but it's still running.
So just PTW.

EDIT: ah, sod it, might as well submit anyway.

Spoiler: upon Misko Saying 'time to pull a James' (click to show/hide)

((by that, I gather you mean gamble away all your possession, be beaten up by a mad dentist, almost get killed by a hare (twice) insult and become hated by half of the gods, get cursed repeatedly by the aforementioned, get attacked by a chimp, accidentally become locked in your mindspace, discover that the books you were reading have been looted while you were getting out of the mindspace, have half your limbs cut off by some guy with a magic sword, accidentally transmute yourself into a mutant mollusc-thing, finally decide to stop mucking about and do the quest, run around looking for a map, find one, only to somehow end up in a forest, forget who you are, fall down a pit, break then heal your legs repeatedly and then obliterate them, finally find an awesome spellbook, and then get your mind ridden shotgun by some... Thing, and then find out that the spellbook was a lie?))

He then finally got his mind back, and immediately rolled a bunch of 1s, resulting in him being eaten by a tiger 5km away from his goal, and within one roll of being saved by a special rule.

He died on page 141
