RTD ascent to godhood
« on: December 10, 2009, 09:36:54 pm »

Name describes it pretty well, standard rules except epic fails and overshoots will be... well epic :P

Basically, there has been a great and mighty pantheon of gods for the last 100 years, however the prophesy dictates that 5 mortals will become powerful and uber enough to kill the gods in an epic battle and rise to godhood.... pretty much everything beyond that is gonna be player background (always funnier) Though if anyone chooses to be an elf you will have -2 rolls on anything that doesn't involve hugging trees or being arrogant and pompous :P

all players start off with some sort of power randomly granted to them in some cool manner, thus making them marginally more bad ass than a normal person. There'll be 2 people in the waiting list

well I was more thinking your prior life, but yeah thinking about it your 'circle' or whatever you want to call it would be useful... hmmm oh and it doesn't have to be an element, it can be something stupid (like cake)

name: Kratos
race: Human
class: Badass
background: See God of War.


Nah

name: Dragnar
race: half-dragon
class: red mage/munchkin. Skills: animal husbandry, basic combat, basic magic
background: One of the few surviving red mages, the others having killed themselves trying to figure out how the universe worked, any why they failed to complete even simple tasks 1 in every 6 tries.

this should be an... interesting character.

So in. I've been waiting for something like this for a while.

name: Torin
race: Human
class: Battlemage ( Major Lightning Magic; Polearms; Medium Armor; Minor Healing; Minor Illusion)
background: Raised as the son of a warrior, though he always had a talent for magic. While his father frowned on such tricks, his teachers encouraged him, and he grew up practicing skills in both realms. As a young adult he fought other mages and fighters in various competitions, and now sets out to achieve his destiny.

IN!

and lol at Dragnar's character. Reminds me of Red Mage.

name:Reid
race: Human
class (basically your general skills) : spellsword, minor healing
background (optional): Reid's been at swordfighting about as long as he's been able to lift a sword. Unfortunately, that didn't go well with his father, who was a prominent wizard. His own magical ability was high, but he wasn't really that interested in it. Until he realized he could combine the two. Thus began his spellsword abilities. Also, his father taught him how to heal him from his own wounds.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.

Growing increasingly concerned at the nature of Elven affection over the millennia, I have decided to find something to distract them.

right Ram i'll add you and your...tree to the waiting list :P anyway we have our chosen ones so first lets explain my special rules

The gods in this are not all knowing and all seeing, while vastly better than mortals they still have their weaknesses ect. So as such, while they're aware of the prophesy, they have no idea who the chosen ones are...

This is represented by a rule i'm gonna call 'whims of the gods' basically its decided by a dice roll, 1 meaning the gods are pissed off, 5 meaning they're happy, 6 meaning they're a little TOO helpful. This means if your unlucky your overshoots or epic fails could get a WHOLE lot worse.

anyway, to the setting.

it was a unique night, for the first time in a 100 years the stars were aligned in just the right manner, the planets in their correct locations and the conditions perfect for the rising of the chosen ones. Each of you live in a around the same area (Though how you got there varies) anyway, that night isn't a pleasant night, its freezing cold and there are strange bright colours lancing through the skies and appearing to land at random locations. You happen to be at one of these locations and were struck with a blinding light knocking you out cold.

That night you dream of power, unbridled power beyond anything you'd ever imagined and awake feeling...stronger... the question is, how will you use this new strength?


annd begin :P

Try to determine just how much stronger I am.

I just realized a flaw in my character: red mage claims animal husbandry solves all problems, but I have no idea how... and might not want to know...

oh a quick question to clarify, by half dragon do you mean a humanoid dragon, or a human with dragons blood or some weird mix?

A human with dragon's blood. Appears human, but has greater innate magic power than most.
