The Slime Arena Turn 6 (It's dead)
« on: May 03, 2015, 01:05:57 pm »

You are a slime. For years you have been mocked and belittled, constantly being misrepresented in media. But no more!! Soon you will show the world your true might. But first, you must deal with these others who's only goal in life is to undermine you.

So this is an RTD were you play as a slime in an arena where you fight against other slimes. Your only goal is to be the last slime standing. Unlike most arenas, there is a huge emphasis on hunting other animals in order to grow strong enough to reliably kill your opponents.

There are going to be multiple types of slimes but since this is the first round (and my first RTD) I'm going to have to restrict you guys to one type (sorry)

The Water Based Slime:
  • Basic and easiest slime
  • Made of mostly water
  • Digests food by first engulfing victim and drowning them, then drains bodily fluids, then waits for rest of corpse to rot inside
  • Will be able to transform parts of it into ice
  • Can disguise as well... water
  • basic shape-shifting abilities that grow more advanced as one levels up
  • A few hidden exotic abilities

Stats:
Spoiler: stats (click to show/hide)

I apologize if this is a bit much for you guys to read but I feel that I must properly explain what each stat does.

Character creation: At the start, you are given 3 stat points that you can then apply to the basic character template. These can be used to upgrade command, reverse-mitosis, or suction by 1. You can also at level 1 instead spend stat points to increase your mass by 5kg for each point. You can also change your starting density


Character destruction: the most likely way you are going to die is by being a victim of pinocytosis or by having one of your stats reach one of these thresholds:

Minimum mass: 21
Minimum density: 0.7kg per litre
Minimum size: 30 litres

Character Progression: As I mentioned earlier there is going to be an emphasis on hunting other creatures in order to grow. Each type of slime has their own list of things that they can and can not digest; as well as a method of how they digest it. Once an object has been digested it is added to your mass. Once you gain enough mass, you level up and gain 3 stat points (I might change that number if it proves not to be balanced) and on some levels you also get to choose a perk. There are ways to speed up digestion but you will have to figure them out on your own.

How turns are going to work: It'll be surprisingly freeform. You guys suggest actions and I will decide whether you have enough time to accomplish all of them in a single turn. If you can't, I will notify you guys and ask if you want to change your turn. I will then roll for them, adding stat and circumstance bonuses.

Starting Water slime actions:
Minor shapeshifting, (such as pseudopods). adds movement penalty
Change density, adds movement penalty
Attack
Move
Jump (also affected by movement penalties)
Engulf/grab
Expel
Dump mass
Split into 2 slimes
Anything else you expect a slime to be able to do



So these are the maps of the first arena

If there is anything that I didn't make clear please feel free to ask. Sorry for the wall of text.

You might consider calling reverse-mitosis pinocytosis, since it has nothing to do with genetic material and we're all water anyway.

Whoops, sorry about that Ama, I was working on the first update while you posted. I'll have to waitlist you. On the bright side when you get in next round, you'll be able to choose from more slime types.

And the Game begins

*Yawn* Today you wake up to a most unpleasant sight. Not only have the rocks suddenly shrinked, you have the displeasure of seeing 4 other slimes, an angry bear, a giant mosquito, and a deer. Not the best palette today but one must make do with what they have.


Legend:

Note, colour is only for how you appear on the map. In-game you guys are all transparent blobs of water. I will probably add a perk that allows you to change colour for the sake of camouflage.

What do the slimes do?

Spoiler: rolls (click to show/hide)

EDIT: Also a few things I forgot to mention, since you are a slime and therefore have no vocal chords, you can't talk. Also, no PMing actions.

Go north east avoiding the bear. What are the red circles?

((You're the one in the building....))

Move northwest toward the deer. Try to get it to touch me, and start getting sucked in....

Attack the bug thing. Or engulf it. ((Whatever action is best represented by a fat man yelling "Get in my belly!"))

"Brlg!"

Soak into lake water to add some mass, sacrificing density.
