Roll to Raise a Child
« on: August 09, 2014, 04:14:53 pm »

In this game, you are going to be raising a kid.  Not everyone raising one kid, but each player raising their own.  The standard stat gain is 1 each year, but your actions will modify the gains.  The length of each year is variable depending upon the age of the kid.  1-3 years, each year will have 1 stat modifying action.  4-6 will have 2.   7-9 will have 3.  10-12 will have 4.  13-15 will have 5.  Basic knowledge of how to function in society (reading, writing, etc) will be automatically learned, so actions don't need to be used up unnecessarily.  I should note that some actions are restricted until a certain point (ex. You have to wait til your kid is out of Kindergarten before you can send them against gangs (if you so desire), and you  have to have at least a 6 in intelligence before you can have them read War and Peace and get a gain from it.)  The setting will start with early 1990's technology with late 1970's weapons.  All other details and progression may wind up being affected by player sign-up sheets and sometimes, actions.

Between 6 and 8 players will be accepted.  This is not first come, first served.

Parent's Backstory: She grew up working the odd jobs in a pretty boring neighborhood, and when she became a teenager she began traveling around different lands. She feels that she has certain memories that she can't recall, but for what she does know, she has lived a pretty mundane, nomadic life.

Parent's Name: Ron Bones
Parent's Gender: Male
Parent's Race: Giant
Parent's Backstory: Ron is a former extremist who has turned his life around in order to give his daughter a life without fear, violence, or hatred. He was a part of a group of giants who believed the best way to make the world better was to exterminate humanity. He was a soldier, who personally saw the deaths of many humans. He realized what he was doing was wrong when he killed a whole hospital of humans, only to discover a giant baby was under their care. Filled with guilt and anger of his actions and their lies, and knowing her fate if they found her, he took the newborn giant, called her his own, and fled, hoping to raise her as the opposite of what he is, and hoping to redeem his actions with his fathering.

Parent's Name: The Laughing Man (Real Name Pierre Spenson)
Parent's Gender: Male
Parent's Race: Human
Parent's Backstory: A lovable sociopath at his best and a raving lunatic at his worst, The Laughing Man's the kind of guy who does everything that he does solely for the sake of being able to say that he's done it. While he is a self-admitted villain and jerkass-extraordinaire, the almost-comical grandeur of his crimes has left him with a small cult-following, which has in turn left him with a daughter, or as he tends to call her, an accomplice in training.

Parent's Name: Susie TribeSlayer
Parent's Gender: Female
Parent's Race: Orc
Parent's Backstory: Susie always got into fights when she was young due to her short temper. As she grew older, her fighting spirit grew more and more, to the point where not giving her stuff could send her into an unstoppable rage. She's fought orcs, big orcs, ogres, adventurers, zombies, undead ogre adventurers, and the occasional giant rat or two. One day, she got beat up by an old dude who was dying from cancer. Unfortunately, not only did the old dude die, but his only daughter chose to live a life of nonviolence. So Susie kidnapped the newly born Alphonso in order to train someone who was super good at fighting.

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

Sorry about that.  Having to move in the Dwarven Invaders Minecraft server has been eating up my time.  Game will start if the players are still willing to play.
