SUPER OBLAST RELAY - An Always-Open Game of Strange Powers
« on: January 31, 2014, 08:27:34 am »

Super Oblast Relay

On the 15th of February 2013, a strange meteor exploded over the Chelyabinsk Oblast. Shortly afterwards, the world over, people started developing strange powers. This is their story.

This is an RTD with a difference. Each action is resolved by the next person to act. The story and setting dynamically evolves through the collective resolutions of all the players.

RULES
1. Suggest an action for your character. Put it in bold.
2. The very next person to post that isn't you decides on the resolution of your action.
3. A player's action only counts if they resolve the previous person's action.
4. A player's resolution only counts if they then suggest an action.
5. Be fair in your judgement.
6. Resolve actions using the resolution and difficulty chart below.
7. Please don't post unless you're resolving an action and proposing an action: if you create a character, resolve an action and post your character's first action.
8. Only players with correctly made characters can act.
9. When resolving actions, try to respect the facts of the setting that have already been established.
10. If you are currently working on a resolution for another player, you may post to reserve the next response (so someone else doesn't quickly resolve the action that you were writing a long write-up for). These reservations are only considered valid for two hours.

CHARACTER CREATION
Your character enters the story at the moment when their powers first manifest. As such, your first action should be to describe how you discovered you had a power and what you first tried to do with it. A correctly made character has all of the following:

Name: [Character's name. Make it reasonable for their location.]
Concept: [Choose a descriptor and a profession, like: Overworked Nurse, Dishevelled Postman, Malevolent Toddler]
Superpower: [Choose one power from this list ]
Description: [Tell us a bit about your character and their motivations]
Location: [Where in the world are you?]

Make sure that when you create your character and describe their first action, you resolve the previous player's action.

CHARACTERS
Spoiler:  Baron Goodboy - NQT (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Dr Wolf - 4 Mask Wolf (click to show/hide)


Baron Goodboy wakes up to another beautiful day in paradise. He hates it. Nothing ever happens in Nauru. In his cramped bedroom, a television flickers, news about a meteorite in Russia. Boring. I need to get out of here.

No sooner had he thought that than he finds himself standing on the runway near his house. No time had seemed to pass, though across his body passed a strange tingling. He doesn't have time to consider what's going on: an aeroplane is bearing down the runway right towards him!

Baron wills himself somewhere safe.

[The next player should resolve this action, create a character, and suggest an action]

[3]He sections it off but it starts to rain and it collapses.
Somewhat disgruntled by his inability to discover the nature or extent of his powers Dave attempts to build a eyepiece scanner to get an analysis of the makeup of his body.

4: He builds the scanner, but before he can use it he hears something moving around outside.

Damn force constructs.  Collect the samples anyway, and warn off any who come too close.

[2] Dave goes outside and gets him in the head with a broken bottle, as a barfight spills out onto the street around him.

Go to the airport to hop on a plane.
