You Are a Pikmin (Suggestion Game)
« on: August 28, 2013, 10:27:06 pm »

You know you have strayed too far. You should have never chased that bug here. Here, there are no leaders to protect you. You, for the first time in your life, are alone. You can see the sun setting, and you know you must get back to the leaders. You first walk, and then run. You suddenly stop when you hear an engine start to roar, and then run even faster, knowing that this is your last chance. You are too late. The strange metal craft starts to fly, and you are left alone in the fast-growing darkness.

Okay, this is a suggestion game about the Pikmin series. If you are unfamiliar with it, it is essentially commanding the pikmin, a strange plant-animal hybrid to recover parts to your crashed ship/treasure/fruit, and battling the strange creatures of planet PNF-404, or as it was once known, Earth.

Pikmin are about an inch tall, come in many varieties, and bring back food, and even the bodies of defeated enemies to their nest, dubbed an onion by alien visitors to make more pikmin. It even can fly during the nighttime to escape noctournal predators.

Unfortunately, there is a problem. You have been left on the planet's surface at sundown. It is unheard of for pikmin to survive the night, but you can try...

And now... For character creation!

What is your name?

What pikmin type are you? ( Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, Rock, or Winged?)

How old are you?


Oh, and a few rules

1. No magic
2. No utterly imposible actions
3. (Reserved for when someone finds a loophole)

That's about it. Time to start suggesting!

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Your name is Steve

You are a Red. You now remember how you are a much better fighter than other types (+1 to combat rolls) and are also immune to fire.

You are ancient in pikmin terms, existing even before the three new leaders came to this world




Now that the roar of the vehicle has died away, you can hear thumping footsteps heading straight to you. It is coming from right in front of you. The first place that the monsters check every night is at the landing site, so it's probably a good idea to get away from there.

Run towards the nearest patch of dense foliage! Get ready to run if they spot you.

((It hides you in 3, which is awesome!))

Deciding the creature coming towards you is not, in fact a mamuta the best course of action seems to be hiding.
 (3) You dive into some nearby foliage, but not before the creature catches a glance of you. It is clear now that it is some kind of bulborb, but this one has a long, thin snout, with black spots on it's white back. It rummages around in the nearby bushes, looking for you

Wait for its attention to be distracted at a spot a decent distance away from us in the foliage, then make a break for it in the opposite direction, preferably towards a better hiding place.

[6] The strange bulborb spots you, and it suddenly shoots out a long, sticky tongue! You get stuck to it, but it gets caught in the foliage, preventing it from withdrawing it's tongue. (1) You try to escape, but get yourself even more securely fastened!
