This is the third part of the Evolved games I made way back. I wanted to continue it and now that exams are over I got the time! This takes place around 50 years after the second game, when the giant monster was about to attack the town and the main party was gonna fight an epic battle, but suddenly the GM became a lazy butt and didn't update. I'm also gonna change a few things such as mechanics and how the world works.

If you want to read about some things I didn't mention in detail here.)
Premise:
A party of Delta Evolved come together under mysterious circumstances, guided by an unknown figure. The alliance between the technologically Aquisitioners and the biologically advanced Evolved has gone on for fifty years. All that is changing. Rumors of an extremist group, strange tidings and even the return of the Omega are circling the city. Some are truer than others.

(That sounds really cheesy.)

50 Years of Change:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Aquisitioners (an army of advanced humans who came from a faraway land) successfully repelled the monsters back to the undercity of Ys with the help of some Delta Evolved. The Aquisitioners then used their resources to help rebuild Galapagos city and unite all the Evolved under their banner. They improved soil fertility and introduced farming and husbandry, created schools for children and created a council of the Evolved Gamma's. The Omega Evolved have disappeared mysteriously, perhaps hiding in the undercity of Ys.

In the previous game, the currency used was body parts. The Aquisitioners despised this barbaric practice and introduced their own currency: metal coins. This was met with uproar when an Evolved died trying to eat it. Over time and thanks to the new schools, the coins caused less fatality and were more reliable than the old currency system.

The Evolved and Aquisitioners live as equals (relatively) and they have enjoyed a lasting alliance for 50 years. All that is about to change.

Mechanics:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

All rolls will be used with a d6, unlike last time. Whenever an action is taken, 1d6 will be rolled against the character's skill rating. The goal is to roll under the skill rating. If the skill rating is 4, then a roll of 6 will be a fail. This applies to actions that are not actively opposed, such as picking a lock or climbing a cliff.

Opposed rolls roll d6 against each other, adding half of their score rounded down. The higher result wins. Different stats will be used against each other: someone throwing a punch will use Str, someone taking it will use End. Someone trying to convince another person to do something is Cha versus Wis.

Each Delta has a power that they are born with. For example, Bob can shoot fire from his hands. There are two things affecting his ability: stability and affinity. Having a higher stability will make that ability more reliable. Having a higher affinity will make that ability more powerful. If Bob had 60/40, his fire shooting would work more often, but it wouldn't be as hot. And vice versa.

This is the only time a different dice is used. When an ability is activated, 2d100 will be rolled. The first roll is for stability. You have to roll under that score, or the ability fails and backfires. The second roll is more forgiving. If you fail, the ability will still work. If you succeed the second roll, the ability will be twice as powerful.

There are also no more tribes like last time. All the Evolved have been united. The towns have been renamed (I'll think of these later) and travel between them is safer and faster. Replacing them are towns or villages. They are ruled by an Aquistioner Captain and a Gamma Evolved.

The Setting:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It is 200 years after the Evolved gene was mass-marketed. Most of humanity became the Evolved over time, but the Aquisitioners came from a land untouched by the Evolved gene. The Evolved are separated by castes: the lost Alpha Evolved (the first Evolved made and the players from the first game.), the Beta evolved (ancient heroes and near demi-gods.), the Gamma Evolved (once powerful lieutenants of the Omega, the Gamma now roam freely as criminals and bounty hunters, or as chiefs of the new towns.), the Delta Evolved (what you play as. More powerful versions of standard Epsilon, some are randomly born stronger and better.), and at the bottom are the Epsilon (average, near human Evolved with different, relatively minor mutations such as extra limbs or eyes.)

The Omega were once gods to the Evolved and ruled tyrannically. When the Aquisitioners arrived they drove the six Omegas into hiding and conquered their old territories, except for the undercity of Ys. People are forbidden from venturing down there without permission from the Aquisitioners or the Gamma chieftains.

Galapagos City is a huge area enclosed by impossibly high walls. Nature has taken over the town and run amok. Many buildings have collapsed and formed huge mountains of concrete or ravines of caved-in structures. The dam broke and flooded long ago and created a huge swamp of relatively clean water, but lurking underneath are fierce amphibious monsters. Huge skyscrapers have all crashed into each other and formed a mountain (but still small compared to the Wall). All the civilized live on the rooftops of the buildings, or in the top floors. Far below in the deep, forgotten streets is the city of Ys: a dark, maddening place where none have returned.

(I'll take five players for now! Not first come first serve!)

Erin isn't forgotten, I'm interested but...
depending things beyond my control, I may have major trouble posting for the next 3 weeks or so.
If you're willing to deal with that, then I'd like to participate. same character as in the other Evolved games.

[Mr.Zero]

Nvm, red about it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Mineon
Age: 24
Gender: Male

Ability: Wind Manipulation
Stability/Affinity: 70/30

Bio: Mineon never could sit still, even not for a moment. He was a troublesome case in his childhood, highly energetic and focused in physical activites outside of that... He got easily distracted and dozed off. In physical activies he wasn't the strenght type. No he dabbled in speed and agility. His ability to outrun nearly anything except the fastest of the fastest proved to be a boon, hated by some, adored by others. He won a couple smalltime competitions with it, but nothing serious.

 
Because of this he could get away with a lot of things, nothing major but stealing a fruit or outrunning the authorities chasing Mineon was a common sight. Some said that it was because of his ability to bend the winds to his will, that he only cheated unlike some of the others. Maybe he did, or maybe not. Mineon wishes to be like the Delta evolved from the tales. The ones which are renown for their help with repelling the old Omega's and establishing peace.

Hm, maybe you can meet up with the main party later? Erin would be 50 years older, though that wouldn't be as bad as you think given the Evolved's longer lifespans, and she would be quite famous and rich because of her help in stopping the invading monsters.

EDIT: Mr.Zero, you still have more points to spend on stats. You spent 9/15. Salsacookies, you spent one point too much.

Reserved for when i am on a computer.
Name: Somanda
Age:20
Gender: Male

Ability: Absobsion shapeshifting (he can absorb a biological thing, effectively killing it, and take one one physical aspect of a creature, e.i. change his nose into a hounds nose for better smelling ability, or his hands into tenticals of an octopus. The characteristic does not go away unless he absorbs something to overide it. the access mass of the thing is stored in him as though he ate, so he can only take in as much as his belly can hold.)
Stability/Affinity: 65/35

Bio: Having grown up to an evolved who was constantly healing herself, he never noticed that he had such an ability to absorb anything until he once caught a bird, wishing to fly. He stopped before he could fully grow wings, but, he had to deal with the horrid pain of feathers bursting out of his skin, and bone, and structure of his arms melting away in a futile attempt to give wings. Soon he began to understand that, though it was never enough to outweigh her ability to heal, he was feeding on her, all of his life. Rejecting the very notion, in fear of killing his mother, he rejected her at the age of 12, running away from home. there, in his short term of vagabond ship, he had to learn, and understand the notion of hunger, of which he never had in his life, due to his mother's constant affection and grooming, of which he subconsciously fed off of. By the time he came back home, two years later, he was a scary mesh of too many different animals to count. He submitted to his mother, before, this time, with her blessing, leaving once again, at the age of 18.

Even if there are like 8 people before me who have posted.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Archae Metaphyta
Age: 35
Gender: Male

Ability: Manipulation of Plants: Can understand plants (kind of like speaking to them), make them grow, or manipulate them (make them grow in an abnormal shape) to suit his desires. Can also mutate plants. However, it is much easier to do these things when in direct contact with the plant

Stability/Affinity: 60/40

Bio: Archae was a born wanderer. Shortly after discovering his ability to manipulate plants (which happened surprisingly quickly and altered his thinking of the world) at the age of 18, he left home and honed this ability in the wild, living off the land and speaking to the plants, learning much of the lore of the world.

Appearance: Archae wears light, travel-worn clothing, and often carries a backpack. He often appears deep in thought, and often does not talk for hours at a time (except for information he feels is crucial to the survival of his team) but can be persuaded to be friendly if in the mood. He has short, black hair, and oddly bright, green eyes.

Stats: 2/15
Str: 3
End: 4
Spd: 2
Cha: 2
Int: 5

This still going to happen?

Not anytime soon. I'll keep this on hold, since if I go through with this now I'll probably suck and not update it like everything else.
