Hey, kiddo? Heeeeeey? You alive?You try to move yourself, and discover you are made entirely out of something close to gas. It's a strange feeling, or it would be, if you weren't five seconds old.
Ah, here we goes! I iz always happy when one of mah things cum alive! Iz been too long since ah had one of youses.You look up at the direction of the voice. You see a large, corpulent shape covered in shadow. It looks vaguely.... something-shaped. You unwillingly shape your body into a question mark, whatever that is.
Ooooh yah. Ah furgot yous need sum teachin' before ya git goin'. He stretches out his huge, fat arm, moving it out of the shadow which seems to surround him. Many blisters and boils cover his arm.
A strange light seems to come from a badly sewn up hole in the side of his arm. Your question mark-form quickly turns into an exclamation point, but it's too late for you to move.
You learn a whole bunch all at the same time. It sort of hurts, somehow. You learn about who the huge rotting figure with the strange accent in front of you is.
His name is Putribilibus Carnifex. God of disease, vices and sin. Despite what his fat form suggests, he is a heavy worker in his realm, cutting up the dead so the different gods can eat. It's Put for friends.
There are many other gods, but that doesn't seem relevant to you right now.
Riiiiight... Me thinks yous ready now! go get some mortals! mess wit deir minds. More evil you cause, more power you git. Don't worry if ya fail though, I is a friendly guy. Don't furget to pray to me some times!He moves both of his hands out from the shadow he's surrounded by, and then splats you like a fly! That somehow hurls you through space ,time and dimensions.
You get the chance to decide how you will look like when you are in the realm of the mortals, Novasio.
You are always going to be a cloud-ish being at your pure form though. You just choose your colour in your gas form and, when acquired,what your solid form will look like.
That's an ability for when you level up. Still, it's nice to have an idea for right now...
Your solid form must be one of the sentient races. Read this entire post for all the sentient races. You can add as much armor as you want, but realize that it would only be an illusion. Could help you disguise.
What is your colour?
What are your starting powers?
What will be your solid form?
How long do you think it will take before this thread withers and dies?As a note, the world of mortals is pretty much D&D-ish. You have the basic classes and races. The sentient races are Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Half-lings and any combination that is physically possible.
You also have Trolls and goblins, who are a bit lower on the food chain.
All mythological creatures i have heard of (not a small amount, if I do say so myself.) might also appear if this thing lives for long enough.
Choices of starting powers. You always start with possession and influence. Pick two
Powers:
Invisibility: you can go invisible for a very short time. This, sadly, tires you out quite a bit.
Burning gas: you turn yourself into a burning gas, substantially harming your enemies is they don't make the reflex check to hold their breath but slowly harming you in the process!
Intangibility: you gain the power to go through thin barriers, even if they lack a hole for yourself to pass through. This tires you out though.
Poison gas: You turn yourself into a mildly poisonous smoke, leading to debuffs in their movement speed and most rolls. This does not actually harm the enemy though.
Compelling voice: you have the gift of gab, allowing you to speak and convince mortals better.
Empowering possession: The mortals you manage to possess gain enhanced strength and agility, but it makes it harder to pass as the human you are possessing due to your lack of knowledge knowing their usual strength.
Fear: You have the ability to cause fear in those who enter you. People affected by fear get problems on their rolls if they don't pass the willpower check. This may also change the way they act. This ability cannot be taken together with invisibility at the start.
Animating power: You have the ability to enter corpses and golems, at the cost of reduced strength and movement speed then if they were raised through normal resurrection magic.
Enhanced "stamina": you are quite capable in preventing yourself from getting tired.
The rotting butcher's blessings: When you manage to get yourself a solid form, you will have the ability to cannibalize your foes for health and get access to a powerful meat cleaver.
Leveling works like this: whenever you cause evil you gain a big boost to your evil bar. Witnissing evil gives you a small amount. The more levels you have, the larger the evil bar.
/..............................................\Right, this is another attempt at a story, this time rolls are going to feature A LOT heavier then my patient zero story.
Please give me critique so I can improve. Thank you and here's hoping for an amusing ride.
