The year is 2096, fifty years since the Moon became an independent republic, free from the social, economic, and moral concerns of the rest of the solar system, you are running for the grand position of Grand Emperor Kaiser Fuehr Duce Guacamole President. Welcome potential Candidates!
Rules
This will follow the traditional RTD system kinda, one d6 will be rolled for each attempted action and the result will determine the success of the action.
1 Utter Failure
2 Failure
3 Meh
4 Success
5 Amazing
6 Your Glory Resounds Across the Cosmos
and so on so forth, higher the better, zero and below... well you can guess...
Debate Rounds
Moon Debates are not the quaint, organized affairs they were on Earth in times of yore, these are messy, brutal affairs, combat is even allowed, although it might lower your approval rating.
A debate round is similar to combat in other RTDs. Your roll is compared against your opponents roll and the result is damage done to your opponents Presence, if your opponent rolls higher than you, half the number rolled will be dealt to you. The debate ends when either you or your opponent runs out of Presence, or time is called.
Character
This is you, the illustrious, glorious you.
Name: Non-Optional
Bio: Can be as short or as long as you like, but one that is too short may provide you with a disadvantage.
Appearance: This is more important than you might think.
Approval Rating: Everyone starts out at 50% for every twenty-five percent you gain an extra skill.
Skills: You get three of these at the start, every one will provide you with +1 to all rolls relating to that skill. One is permanent; highlight this one in orange. Two are dependent upon your approval rating; highlight these in green
Disadvantage: Your weakness, this will provide you with a -1 to all rolls relating to that skill. Highlight in red
You can give up one of your skills to increase your Presence if you wish.

This is my first RTD, so feel free to criticize the rules or give advice.

"First up! TH-408!"
The spotlights focus in on an android that was obviously built with little in mind besides facial expressions. The android leans forward and speaks into a microphone in front of it.
"I am TH-408, and my function is to ensure that a neutral viewpoint is presented for each case." There is a light applause then the spotlights swivel around to the other end of the table, focusing on a blond haired woman in a red dress.
"And here we have the lovely Miss Belladona Quarkegg!"
Belladonna leans forward and speaks into her microphone: "I will ensure that the candidates do not digress." Heavy applause follows, and she presses a hologram projector that makes it appear that her heavily surgically modified cheeks are blushing.
"And finally! The one you've all been waiting for!
THE CORPSE OF THE FORMER GRAND EMPEROR KAISER FUEHR DUCE GUACAMOLE PRESIDENT: GERALD!!! He's looking fine this evening ladies and gents!" There is uproarious applause as the spotlights swivel around to focus on a decaying corpse in a fine suit.
It slips down in its chair a little bit.
"Alright, ladies and gents, let's get this debate started! Miss Belladona will present the first topic."
"Alright, the first issue at hand can wait, I want to know why almost all the candidates are from Earth!" Belladona said waving a stack of papers around.
TH-804 turned his head around and made the most disapproving face that human features are possible of creating. "Indeed, this is even worse than last time when we had three Martians running, they were all, like, we need to reform our social system. Bah! All Martians care about are tree and oxygen, they won't shut up about it! We need more trees! And oxygen! We keep losing oxygen and we need trees to make more! Well, maybe you should take better care of the oxygen you already have! Bloody Martian hippies."
Gerald's corpse decomposes in response.
"I agree fully TH, that reminds me, the first topic for discussion is the current resource usage, if each of the candidates could please make a stance on whether or not we should be exporting radioactive materials to planets that could engage us in interstellar warfare at any time?"

"Hmmm....not only would the transportation of such a harmful substance to our enemies be foolish, this is a gross act of profiteering. It in no real way benefits the common folk, the workers who toiled to gather such a putrid resource. Why should we do something that will be of no benefit to the workers, and potentially bring about our own destruction?"

Resolve didn't do anything until you asked about it :)
I was originally just including the little status descriptions underneath for fun, but now its a hidden mechanic. I'll tell you what it does whenever it actually does something.
If you meant Presence though, it's basically HP.
As for the history... I was originally going to pretty much let you make up whatever you wanted at the moment for the history, first person to say something makes it canon unless I specifically state otherwise, but if you want me to make an actual history I actually have made one and can type up summary tomorrow.

Space Lenin is the first to speak, he slams his fist down and proclaims: "We should not, for it could harm the worker that handles the material!" The crowd seems lightly impressed with his firm stance.
[6+1=7]
Leone Sprovosky quietly speaks up after him continuing on his point, "Hmmm....not only would the transportation of such a harmful substance to our enemies be foolish, this is a gross act of profiteering. It in no real way benefits the common folk, the workers who toiled to gather such a putrid resource. Why should we do something that will be of no benefit to the workers, and potentially bring about our own destruction?" Suddenly he begins to glow as if light from the very heavens themselves are shining out through him, the crowd gazes on in wonder as Baby Buddha is born from his words and floats off into the sky bringing hope of a new peaceful life. There is uproarious applause and TH-408 begins to weep.
Leone Sprovosky has stolen 1 presence from EVERYONE.
[6+1=7]
Jack Scott uses the moment to steal the limelight and in fact literally grabs Baby Buddha from the sky and absorbs his essence lending power to his words, "I think that this would be fine as long as the pilots and the handlers are properly equipped. If worse comes to worse, the only thing we need to do to get the upper leg in combat is mass produce the Hydrogen Bomb." Cries of "yeah" and "make moer bombz!" are heard from across the Arena.
Jack Scott has gained 5 presence from absorbing the soul and essence of Baby Buddha.
[4+2=6]
After clicking twice Rick Jive throws his hands into the air sending a beautiful shower of sparks across the stage.
"Those Space commy dudes are right. What none of these pro-radiation turkeys seem to realize is that we are providing other planets with the means to create devastating weapons, and THAT DOES NOT ROCK! Consider Reverend Funk on the side, against exporting our own demise. The people are shocked, how could they have been so blind as to think that sending nuclear power to other planets would be a good thing? Several fall down and weep.
[5+0=5]
Frank Forts makes his stand, "First off, I although I was not born on the moon, I am 100 percent a moonite. Indeed it was my misfortune not to be born on the moon, but I have lived here ever since I was 15, and have aspired to become the moon president for even longer."
"We should, for there is no shortage of radioactive materials already in existance for those fools desiring war and as long as those who gather and transport the material are cautious, we can create a lot of jobs safely, and allow those who desire it clean energy." The people are convinced that your not being born on the moon is of no importance, and you even manage to persuade a few to your side of the nuclear debate.
[3+1=4]
Ruthia Khan joins in last, "I see no reason to fear exporting radioactive materials to other planets, as the economic prosperity has such great potential. And having seen radioactive warfare in my past career, I can state that any enemy radioactive warhead or missile-carriers could be easily dismantled before they reach Earth, not to mention we have highly advanced anti-missile systems all around the world for a reason." The people now have almost complete faith in the anti-missile system.
Suddenly, before any more statements can be made, TH-804 speaks into his microphone and says through very real tears, "I am sorry, but I am calling time, my circuits can not handle any more glory today, it is just... too beautiful."
Each of you returns to your moon-Hotel/Private Spaceship/Jetpack/Moon-Condo/etc.

This will actually be the majority of the game, debate rounds are just the legal and easiest way to get rid of your opponents, occasionally one will be called, or you can challenge anyone else to a debate round if you so wish.

You begin to glow with the brilliant glory of the stars themselves, then the lizard-man puts on a pair of orange, triangle-shaped shades (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/GlennGunnerZero/Kaminashades.png) which completely block the light. The lizard-man then points his finger towards the sky and proclaims "Having left his home land, he never yields, never retreats, and never regrets. He faces forward and never looks back! He's manly! He's tenacious! Newt Gangpoor of the neopublican lizard party is here to take you on. Lets go!" You fall to the ground and cower in fear, it appears that the lizard-man has begun to channel Kamina! The lizard man runs forward at you, fist raised and yelling "LET'S SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!!"

You Possess the Shades of Kamina, the Beard of Seneca, and the Guitar of Edge. Your awesomeness level has been raised by thousands of degrees.

Two combatants step into the Grand Debate arena weapons drawn. Ruthia Khan is the first to speak. "I see you have accepted my challenge, at least some have honor now."
Frank Forts drew his Moonblade. "Yes, now let us see if your honor is as great as your skill!"
Frank immediately leaps forward [6+1=7] and mid-flight his blade begins to glow silver as if the Moon itself is lending him it's aid! Ruthia raises her blade and [4+1=5] blocks Frank's. As the blades collide a shockwave is released from the collision sending the seats and the body of the former Grand Emperor Kaiser Fuehr Duce Guacamole President flying away.

You spin around and grab Gangpoor by the throat squeezing until his very essence is squeezed out of him and soaks into your skin, within seconds you are covered in scales, have a sudden dislike for penguins, and have strange urges to commit polygamist acts. Gangpoor then proceeds to kick you in the nether regions.

Jives looks up at you and pushes his glasses up with two fingers, grinning, “Reverend Funk accepts my man! Let’s get our groove on!”
You nod in response and jump back onto the statue which then reveals the fact that it is actually a gigantic jade mecha. Standing over twenty times Jive’s height you look down upon him and, the statue imitating your expression, raise him a challenging eyebrow.
Jives grins and strums his guitar rising up into the air on the power of RAWK [2+0=2] for all of two seconds and then falls back down to the stage. Still determined, Jives looks up at his opponent and grins preparing a…

You leap back from Forts and reveal a hidden button in the hilt of your blade which brings screens around the arena to life displaying the propaganda which, with the push of that button, is now playing on every commercial break all over the Moon. Hideous videos of Franks Forts yelling forth all sorts of biased, judgmental hate casts a light over the arena.
Forts gazes up at them and then renews his assault on you [5+1=0] his shining blade swoops down in an arc towards your head [3+1=4] and you nearly dodge out of its way, but it bites into the skin of your upper arm.

You spin around and prepare the most devastating move available to you, however, before your foot can reach its destination it is stopped by a rotting hand.
You look up in horror into the face of the former Grand Emperor Kaiser Fuehr Duce Guacamole President, Gerald.
He is very annoyed at being woken up.
Gerald [∞+∞=∞]
Gerald throws Ruthia Khan to the other side of the stadium and turns his attention to Frank Forts, who stands there paralyzed as Gerald raises his hand and with a flick of his moldy wrist, incinerates him.
His rage satisfied Gerald slumps back to the ground, once again motionless.
Gerald has acquired Fear and the soul of Frank Forts!

Your mecha quickly kicks Jives into the stands on the other side of the moon without hesitating. The force of the impact causes three volcanic eruptions!
Rick Jives has lost 5 Prescence!
Flintus10 [3+1+1=5]
You grab the shades of Kamina and yell to the crowd on the other side of the Moon: “MY ROCK IS THE ROCK WHICH WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!” With a strum of his guitar the air begins to spiral around him
Suddenly you are back on the other side of the moon playing a mad guitar riff as your followers are rallied by your rock they begin to climb onto the Buddha-mecha and beat on it with whatever sharp, heavy, or otherwise useful in maiming something implements are most handy.
Rick Jives has regained 3 presence!
Megaman [6+1=7]
You rise up on a hydraulic platform in-between the two combatants and begin to give a glorious speech about the evils of capitalism as you do so your pupils change from their former round shape into the glorious hammer and sickle. People all over the moon see your speech and hatred grows in their heart for the evil capitalistic performer and his blaspheming opponent, the only people in the immediate area who are not now under your thrall and ready to attack at your command are the ones who are too distracted by their own beating on the Buddha-mecha.

You attempt to just kill the illegitimate son of some brazen congo eel with a brazen charge forward.
In the wrong direction.
You fly out of the top of your skyscraper and land on the top of a passing hover-car.
[4]Newt on the other hand has no such problems and lands behind you, much to the irritation of the driver.

Suddenly a meteor crashes into the center of the stadium and sends out a loud boom that can be heard across the moon.
It sits there smoking for a few moments, then splits down the middle releasing the light of several spotlights. Five figures slowly step out of it, three standing in a group on the left, one of the right and one striking a dynamic pose in the center.
New candidates have arrived.

Hovercars fly by as you prepare yourself to kill this lizard once and for all. You charge forward bellowing a Russian folk song as you prepare to send his teeth through his brain.
[1] At that critical moment Newt is distracted by a rather pretty frog, what was her name again? Toady two, no, Hypno something, hypno-BAM. Leone’s punch sends him flying off of the car and down to the Moon below. As he falls he hits three different hovercars and eventually lands in a rather oversized cup of tea, which is held by the Grand Duchess of Warsaw.
Leone Sprovosky has regained his self-respect!
Flintus10 [1+1=2]
Your RAWK resonating around you, you order your loyal followers to keep attacking the mech. Unfortunately the sound technician accidentally turns the volume of the microphone down and the guitar up at the exact same moment drowning out your words. Your now overtly loud guitar bursts several eardrums.
Rick Jives’ approval rating has dropped by 1 %
Empfan [2+0=2]
You sneer at the pitiful attempts Jives makes to stop you and leap off the mech performing a spinning kick much like you did before. Then half-way down you remember that you meant to put the mecha on auto-pilot. This distracts you long enough to put your spinning kick out of whack and you barrel into Jives both of you collapsing into a heap.
Jack Scott has lost 2 prescence, Rick Jives has lost 1

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. That’s what this debacle is. You crank up the communist propaganda music and lead your followers away from the fight giving a grand speech on the way about the evils of capitalism and using the two brawling pigs as an example. “See how these fools so easily resort to fists and weapons of war. That is what capitalism does, turns fellow brethren against fellow brethren, forcing them to try to kill each other to survive instead of helping each other achieve so much more.”

You quickly flee the arena. It’s much too dangerous in there for one candidate alone, but a couple of mercenaries out to take care of them. You call up a few contacts and within minutes there are dozens of mercenaries planting enough explosives around the several miles wide arena to blow up a couple dozen armies.
Meanwhile inside the arena the new arrivals are wondering why they’ve been hanging around in the same place for so long.
Then you push the button.
Ruthia Khan has obtained Insane Laughter!
? ? ? [6+2=8]
The arena erupts in flames, all living beings appearing to perish inside.
Then suddenly the ball of flame turns into a column and a figure rises up out of the center, flames running up and down its wrists and its eyes glowing like hot coals.
“!!YOU SEE HOW THESE CANDIDATES ATTEMPT TO KILL EACHOTHER WITHOUT EVEN HEARING WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY!!” It bellows, fire spewing from its mouth with every word. “!!ELECT ME AND YOU SHALL SEE FREEDOM FROM THESE MADMEN AND THEIR TYRANNY I SHALL GRANT YOU…!!
!!LIBERTY!!"
The word rings across the entire Moon and everyone who hears his words is moved to tears.
? ? ? has become the Fire King, and their approval has raised by 10%

Meanwhile on a Moon hill some ways away, a second candidate who should have perished in the inferno stands on a hill. He wears a purple top hat and suit and has a superb moustache. “This is very serious.” He says in a very mysterious tone of voice.
? ? ? has gained 1 presence
Three Other People [2-1=1]
Oh, yeah, there were three other people in there weren’t there. Yeah, they got incinerated.
Gerald [∞+∞=∞]
In the center of what was a raging firestorm, a skeletal form stood up and dusted flames off of itself, and then, bowler hat in hand, strode nonchalantly away from the blazing arena.

Also,
So this fire monarch type thinks he is the true wielder of the color red? AND he steals my idea? Challenge his claim that he will provide liberty, he is a king after all. He wants subjects, not hearts and minds.

DearGodMarx, I thought this was dead!
That is not dead which can eternal lie~
I've just been busy, update frequency should actually increase to where this thing looks actually alive and not like a zombie now that I have free time again.

Inspired by his battle with the darn lizard, Leone Sprovosky writes a manifesto about the battle, which he uses as a metaphor for communism's struggle against crazy lizards. And capitalism.

(to Jack) "Agreed, this honkey ruined a perfectly good musical debate."
Rick Jive takes off his glasses and once again outs them back on dramatically shouting. "Who dares step in the way of true Funk!? *guitar riff* You show yourself now you son of a bitch or be prepared to taste the true sting of rock and roll!
