The Land of the Sky: Chapter 0.5

OOC Thread

This is a forum game with a focus on narrative and combat, the latter of which is a first for me! You're all children who live in a city in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember your people have lived there, and none of you have ever considered that there might be anything outside of this place you call home. Naturally this leads to some interesting events when you are separated from your home. There is magic, and mythical beasts abound, so beware!

Combat Rules
In this chapter, when you attack with a missile or a weapon, I roll 2d6 and put the result up against the target's speed rating to see if you land the hit. If the result is higher than the opponent's speed, then you land the hit! If its lower, he dodges, and if its equal, the blow is glancing, resulting in half damage, rounded up. If your result is equal to or higher than the opponent's speed rating x 2, then you land two hits!

Damage inflicted is based upon what weapon you're using. Melee weapons have solid numbers, and missiles use a range. Thus, ranged weapons usually have a higher potential for damage, but they can't be used in close quarters. Magic doesn't roll for the hit, and cannot miss, but mages must manage their MP pool in order to be useful throughout the fight. Spells can do massive damage and cause massive shifts in the tide of the battle as long as you have enough MP. There may be exceptions or addendum to these rules with certain special weapons.

If you have a shield, roll 1d6 to see if you block the first blow. If you roll an even number, all damage is negated from that first strike.

Roleplaying
Just remember the setting you're in, and the way you envision your character. Just be natural!

GWG
Alex
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Appearance: A fairly short, skinny kid with old burns on his face and one eyebrow. What hair he has is unkempt and brown. He wears simple clothes that are also scorched.
Role: Alchemist
Goal: To learn all one can learn, know all one can know, and make some discoveries along the way.

Dansmithers
Wellington
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Appearance: Wellington is a reserved sort of boy, who almost never left the house as a kid. This is due to his unnatural purple eyes. He has short black hair that is rapidly graying and pale white skin.
Role: Paladin
Goal: Be loved by the people.

Gamerlord
Derry
Name: Derry
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Appearance: Very pale blue eyes, messy brown reddish brown hair. Lightly tanned skin, unnaturally straight, white teeth and a crooked nose which he earned after one of his many "climbing incidents". Broad (for his age) shoulders and whipcord muscles, his winning smile and sharp features come together to give him a sort of roguish charm.
Role: Hunter
Goal: To one day have all the people who looked down on him at his mercy and to hunt them like the animals they are.

Dwarmin
Name: Bethany
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Appearance: Tall for her age, and for a girl, but skinny as a rail-and delicate looking. Short, tawny, dark red hair arranged in an artful sheath. Forest green eyes, and a healthy skin tone. Has a pair of russet wings on her back, much like a bird. Her wings and her hair are the same color.
Role: Healer/Support Archer
Goal: To fly high above the clouds, no restrictions...Bethany cannot truly fly, despite her strange gift-agile hovering jumps, and acrobatic swoops being as close as she gets. Living in a city in the sky, this has caused her some consternation. She's always wanted to truly soar, and adventure beyond the boundaries.

[Xantalos]

Ooh! PTW and reserve.

[GreatWyrmGold]

We have two wannabe-paladins, a wannabe illusionist/rogue, a wannabe assassin/ranger, and a couple kids who want to be mages of highly destructive varieties.

This will not end well.

[scapheap]

Two paladins? I'll go warlord then. Make more sense for my goal anyway.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Okay, now the tricksters and mages will be our biggest problem.

[Parsely]

Hurrgh.. Just woke up…. Need…. COFFEEEEEEE!! *godzilla roar*

Time to get to work! First turn up in a jiffy (a jiffy? really? thats something only Captain America could say without sounding ironic. :I)!

Mecha-Godzilla is way better than regular Godzilla.

I want to reserve a spot please.
