[ISG] Unfair Advantage [RPG 1/1]
« on: December 16, 2016, 08:52:48 pm »

Inspired by Supernerd's Zenith Concert.



This is a suggestion game that is ALSO an RPG for one player(someone fairly active plox Thanks Supernerd!).

The gimmick is that the suggesters will sculpt the player's character and then the player will choose what do do. But don't choose too lightly because there's the chance that the advantage will go to the enemy!

First we need a protagonist.

Name:
Appearance:
3 skills or abilities:

The character has amnesia, so no backstory yet.

I'm pretty sure that this game was actually YOUR idea, so I don't think you need my permission.
I'll also apply to be that one player. I feel I have been sufficiently active as of late.

Name: You don't need a name.
Appearance: You don't need to be special. Just a man. Just what you look like right now.
Ability 1: You don't need sustenance.
Ability 2: You don't need other people.
Ability 3: There's only one thing you need. Determination. And you have that in spades.

...Do you like having unamed characters, or can you just not be bothered to think of one?

Names are easy. From John, to Edgar, to Whatchamakallit, I can come up with plenty of names. I'm finding them boring now, though, in some cases.
Besides, the main character has amnesia. Why would he(or she?) remember his/her name?

All we need is Mom's Spaghetti
But a mic is always nice
We need a gun, too (In case things get a bit hairy
And we need to put someone on ice)

What do I do?

Well if the god of rap challenges me... The correct thing to do would be to figure out what the stakes are before actually making a decision!
