LOOTQUEST: Turn 3: It's Not Dead, Yet(5/5)
« on: September 15, 2018, 12:45:27 am »

You may be wondering what the heck this is. You may be wondering why the heck you would want to play this.

So here's the short version. The evil Lord Amalgam, a fusion of Herobrine, King Radical, Kyubey, Jafar, and Blackbeard(long story, and you're probably missing a few) has taken over the Loot Kingdom. He now resides in the Loot Castle, on the central sky island of Loottopia. Using a powerful mind-control Loot he's brainwashed most everyone in the kingdom to think he's the rightful ruler. One old guy with a mind protection Loot escaped and used a powerful summoning Loot to summon... you guys. Apparently the Loot Lord Amalgam used only affects this dimension's natives. If you can kill Lord Amalgam, and restore peace to the realm, he'll send you home and let you keep your Loot.

So what is Loot?

Loot is treasure, treasure summoned from a very specific dimensional chaos plane. Loot can be anything from a gun of apathy to a motorcycle of poison flails. There are five different power tiers for Loot: Mundane, Strange, Bizarre, Insane, and Awesome. Each one is more powerful than the last.

Of course you want Loot. You'll need it. So how do you get it?

Off the corpses of your enemies, of course! In the Loot Kingdom, the death of someone notable will catalyze a portal to the Loot Dimension and draw forth a new Loot, power depending on how powerful the person was and how much Loot they held(for their death will take any Loot on them with them). Aside from that, there's stashes of Loot on the islands, locations marked on the map the old man gave you, probably guarded but meh you can take them. And of course there's the rare dimensional rip to the Loot Dimension that can be fed your Loot to trade it out for different Loot.

You may be wondering how you'll get to the Loot Castle. Well, it's on the central Loot Kingdom sky island of Loottopia. Unfortunately for you guys it's protected by a near impenetrable barrier. Luckily, though, the barrier is sustained by six anchor stones, one on each of the peripheral islands. You know what you need to do. If you don't manage to acquire a means of flight, there's sky ships you can take over if necessary.

Should you wish to be one of the summoned...
there's the usual character sheet.

Who are you? No wrong answers here as long as you're mostly human.

What concept lies within you? This will influence your loot, especially the starting ones.

What makes you special? Some trait that helps you out. Maybe you're strong, or lucky, or tough, or you've got sensitive cat features. We can work stuff out as long as it's relatively minor.

This is not first come first serve. I'll be taking the best looking characters after 72 hours. For the waitlisters? Players are not chosen from the waitlist in order, but rather based on whether or not they win a deathmatch against each other.

Who are you? Bob Bearson, the wild man

What concept lies within you?  Primal

What makes you special? He's a lucky guy. He was about to be bitten by a venomous snake before he was summoned. And he managed not to die while growing up in the wilderness before that.

I normally wouldn't...but I had to put down this character just for laughs (aw crap, I really, truly, honestly did not intend for that pun to happen, but I'm sticking with it).

Who?: Lakonikos

Concept: The all-powerful force of humor.

What makes you special: He can keep a straight face through any joke...or any lie.

Let's get to selection! And remember that if you aren't chosen you'll probably get a shot at entering the game via magical deathmatch murder later on. And you can still submit actions for NPCs which I may or may not take depending on the lulz. So.

Who are you?: Tabark, A callous Half-orc Fighter from the base of a volcano who has anger problems.

What concept lies within you?: MAGMA AND BLACK SPIKES

What makes you special?: The heat never bothered me anyway.
Derm is in. His sheet is one of the few that makes use of the openendedness of The "who are you" section, and he used a generator to randomly generate his character. Now that's what I call theme!

Yuki the Ice Ghost Spirit
Cold Frozen Ice Cryokinesis.
The cold never bothered me anyway.

Let's have a thematically opposite pair. Hot vs. cold. Classic. Fun with colors, too.

Who are you? Bob Bearson, the wild man

What makes you special? He's a lucky guy. He was about to be bitten by a venomous snake before he was summoned. And he managed not to die while growing up in the wilderness before that.
Well this is fun. Haven't ever seen a character quite like this one before. In.

Who are you? Sorceror Ra of Coptis.
What concept lies within you? Magic.
What makes you special? More powerful spells than normal.
Who are you?: Iridium, the mad inventor
What concept lies within you?: Innovation (and to a lesser degree, blowing stuff up)
What makes you special?: Unusually hardy.
A wizard/inventor type would benefit the party, I think. That said, we don't quite need both. RNG says Iridium gets in.

Who?: Lakonikos

Concept: The all-powerful force of humor.

What makes you special: He can keep a straight face through any joke...or any lie.
And to top it off, the lethal joke character.

Everything turns bright.
~~~
You wake up, not to your bed(or whatever other sleeping arrangements you had) but to a swinging hammock. Getting up, you notice four other confused looking individuals around you. There's two doors to the room. One leads to a bathroom(for those of you that recognize it). The other leads up a staircase, through a hatch, and onto the deck of a ship. The helmsman turns to you, smiles, aaaand then the sky breaks into pieces and a monster lands amidst you.

The helmsman curses. "What? The boundary guardian? Already? Okay. Look, there's no time to explain! You need to kill that thing before it breaks the ship and us with it!"

Killing the damn thing would probably be a daunting task if not for the pieces of the sky that landed in your hands.

Tabark seems to have acquired a black spiky warhammer. Yuki is riding a war zamboni. Bob Bearson is holding a woven bag filled with apples. Plastic ones. Iridium has a strange iron rifle with a crystal barrel and no bullets. Lakonikos has another warhammer. A squeaky one.

Bob takes an apple from the bag and stares at it hungrily. He almost takes a bite before stopping to sniff it, but then he notices it doesn't smell like an apple, grunts, and tosses it at the monster.

Toss an apple at the monster.

Tobark takes a moment to admire the magnificent balance of his new warhammer before letting out a savage battle-cry, charging at the colossal snake and taking a mighty swing at it's jaws.

What even is it, anyway? Zero details, here.
