Description:
Back story:

 Pokethaum is what happens when you mix a magic based universe with that of Pokemon. Within Pokethaum it is possible both to encounter Pokemon and Monsters. As this is inspired by both D&D and Pokemon, don't expect this game to keep with the canonity of either genre.

Human:
Buffs:
No Buffs
Debuffs:
No Debuffs
Description: A Regular Boring Human. I suppose their ok...

Half-Orcs:
Buffs:
+1 To Strength Roles and Melee Roles.
Debuffs:
-1 To Intelligence Roles and Ranged Roles.
Description: Most of the time, Orcs have relatively low intelligence. However, the cross between a human and an Orc creates a breed which is only slightly dumber than humans. To most races, these half-breeds are known as Half-Orcs. To Orcs, these beings are known as Dorcs. (I couldn't resist. Sorry)

Elves:
Buffs:
+1 To Intelligence Roles and Ranged Roles.
Debuffs:
-1 To Strength Roles and Melee Roles.
Description: Easy to mistake as humans, elves are gaurdians of nature as well as the winners of the Annual Tree Huggers Competition for the past 500 years.

Dwarves:
Buffs:
+1 To Melee
Debuffs:
-1 To Speed
Description: Short and squat, Dwarves love finding treasure. Somehow they seem familiar...

Trainer:
Buffs:
Trainers can catch D&D monsters and use them the same way as Pokemon.
Debuffs:
Trainers can not wield weapons (Bows, Swords, etc)
Description: Trainers hone their skill in order to become Pokemon masters. Rather than carry weapons themselves they let their Pokemon do the fighting for them. Pokemon come in a variety of types and can learn a variety of moves.

Wizards:
Buffs:
+1 To Ranged Roles
Debuffs:
-1 To Strength
Description: Wizards focus primarily on elemental magic(Fire, Water, etc) and usually stand behind other party members for protection.

Clerics:
+2 To Ranged Roles when casting a Healing Spell or another Light Spell
Debuffs:
-1 To Strength
Description: Similar to Wizards, Clerics rely primarily on long ranged spells. Unlike wizards, Cleric's spells serve merely to buff/heal party members.

Berzerker:
Buffs:
+1 To Melee. +1 To Strength.
Debuffs:
-1 To Intelligence. -1 To Ranged
Description: Mainly physical attackers, Berzerkers are the front lines of most parties.

Rangers:
Buffs:
 +1 To Intelligence. +1 To Ranged
Debuffs:
-1 To Melee. -1 To Strength.
Descriptions: Masters of long ranged attacks, Rangers are able to spot enemies long before the rest of the party.

+2 Strength. +1 Melee.
Debuffs:
-3 Speed.
Descriptions: The Meat-sheilds of the battle field, Knights get hit hard and hit back even harder.

Name: (You can fill this out yourself)
Race: (See Above)
Class: (See Above)
Pokemon: (Only for Trainer. All others skip (Fire/Water/Grass) You can change your mind until we leave the first town. I will post specifics on the starter pokemon soon)
Backstory: (Well this is partially based off of D&D. Right?)

1.
Name: Hamond Falskar
Race: Elf
Class: Cleric
Health: 16
Strength: [-1 Race] + [-1 Class] + 19 = 17
Intelligence: [1 Race] + 16 = 17
Melee: [-1 Race] + 11 = 10
Ranged: [1 Race] + {+2(Healing) Class} + 17 = 18 ~ 20
Speed: 19
Backstory: Hamod Falskar grew up in a small keep somewhere (He can't quite remember where). He left home at the tender age of 20 to set out on a grand quest. A few mere days in he was hit over the head by a rather large troll. Awaking a week later in a nearby town, he learned that this concussion had left him with amnesia. He barely remembered anything of his past. Despite this, he was still hopeful. While his past was gone, he had a clean slate for the future now. One day, he hopes to find the keep (He only remembers the vague silhouette of it) and find anyone who claimed to be the parents of a Hamond Falskar.
2.
Name: Soot Snagem
Race: Human
Class: Trainer
Pokemon: Fire
Health: 12
Strength: 10
Intelligence: 13
Melee: 19
Ranged: 20
Speed: 15
Backstory: Soot was raised in a small human village. Unlike the traditions of some other nearby villages, he didn't get kicked out and sent into the wilderness with a pokemon to wander the world as soon as he turned ten. Instead, he was stuck helping his father in the family smithy. He didn't pick up too much knowledge, as his thoughts were often filled with daydreams of travelling the world, using a pokemon to fight monsters and save villages, then to take credit. Finally he reached the age of adulthood, and left his family behind to travel to the nearest town he could get a starter pokemon at.
3.
Name: Dave David Davidson XXIII
Race: Dorc

Intelligence: [-1 Race] + 11 = 10
Melee: [+1 Race] + 12 = 13
Ranged: [-1 Race] + 19 = 18

Backstory: Dave came from a long line of Daves. Twenty-third in a proud lineage of trainers dating back to Dave David Davidson the First, one of the first trainers ever and the orc who set the groundwork for the poketific method.
4.
Name: Rick Alemeinsterskeinson
Race: Dwarf

Intelligence: 19

Backstory: A man down on his luck by merely attaining the Gold Medal for Ale Drinking (The best ever gets the Platinum Ale Trophy. He was off by one drink before blacking out), Rick got a summer job as a Pokebouncer to beat out his frustration by beating up guys who "weren't on the list" during those grand tournaments that happen year-round. He hopes that next year, after a bit more practice, he can attain a Platinum Ale Trophy for himself. For now, Themis is an enjoyable enough profession.

The general idea of this game is that you are a Dungeon Master on Bay 12 and you have decided to play a trick on the rest of the community. In order to do this you created a number of alt accounts. Then you began running a forum game in which you were not only the Dungeon Master but also all of the players in the game as well as several of the characters on the waiting list, so as to stop the regular non-alt players from interfering with your game.

Each participant game can suggest actions for the bay-12 characters to do. To act as one of the alts, use the correct color scheme for that character or create a new one for a completely new character. Please remember to stay in the character of whatever alt as you are trying to carry out conversations between the alts to make the alts seem like real players.

Also, once an alt has been established, anyone can act as that alt as long as they stay IC and use the correct color scheme.

alt's who currently don't control an IC RPG character are free to heckle other characters

In addition to controlling the RPG characters, every once in a while (When all the main RPG characters have posted actions) it will be necessary for the Dungeon Master Account in this game to write a turn for the RPG. The Dungeon Master will always be Kazulu.

Dungeon Master: Kazulu

1945: In the dark alternate future that you live in, the Natzis won World War 2. The 3rd Reich now contains all of Eurasia.
Meanwhile, Japan has taken over all of the Pacific Islands.

1948: The Natzi's crush the last nation in Africa while Japan takes over South America, Central America, and Canada.

1950: The Natzis and the Japanese merge their nation and co-create the Atlas empire. They agree that Hideki Tojo will rule the Americas while Hitler will rule everything else.

1955: The last nation is defeated by the Atlas empire. A few small pockets of resistence occur but ultimately, they gain little ground against the Atlas empire. They do however survive in secret bases from which they conduct operations to weaken the Atlas.

2455: 500 years late, people still resist. And with the crash of the genesis meteor, new magic comes into the world...

Upon the collision of the Genisis meteor with Earth, Magic particles entered the atmosphere and into the ground, awakening Magic abilities that had not been seen since feudal(midieval) times.

Many people across the planet found that they possessed new magic abilities, unlike anything they had seen before. You are one of these people.

Name:

Magic Affinity: (make 1 up, the only spells u can cast must be part of the affinity)

Character Alighnment: Good=Resistenced, Bad=Atlas, Neutral=equal alignment towards both. (Note that this is only your starting alignment)

Description(optional): also include your characters backstory here if desired.

Village Elder (The First Hero of the Void):For thousands of years, my people have lived on the brink of destruction, always on the cusp of Death. More literally than I would like to admit. It all began on that faithful day. In the middle of the festival of the void, our festivities were interupted abruptly as a portal from the void came and moved the village through time and space to the lifeless place where we live now, this shadowy and unfamiliar void. As it turned out, our village's was the result of a war brewing between the Monarchums(Essentially this village's version of g-ds) and the Titans(Rivals of Monarchums). The Void Titan, Vlast sealed away our village and killed our Gaurdian Monarchum. In the last few moments of the Void Monarchum's life, she gave the village 3 great gifts. 1: a ring of protection around the village from low level monsters, 2: an infinite supply of the essentials, which trickle down from the fountain in town square, and 3: the gift of void, a powerful mysterious magic that appears in a small percent of the population. Those with this power are tasked with charting their way through the void back to Earth and protecting the village from monsters. These people are commonly referred to as Heros of the Void or Voidwalkers.

You are a Hero of the void known also as a Voidwalker. Your job is to chart a land clouded with void and protect your village from high level monsters.

Voidwalkers work in teams of 3 in order to cover each others weak spots. Create 3 character cards and choose 1 of these to be your team leader. You are this character and if you die, your team will fall apart, unless someone has a revival potion on hand to use. If you have no potion and your team doesn't win their current quest within 3 rounds or get to Base Town before then if you can't finish the quest then everyone else in the team will die and you will need to submit a new team and start over.

Backstory: Optional but makes for enriching the game.

Knight: Focuses void through melee weapons.
Ranger: Focuses void through ranged weapons but also has a small dagger for if an enemy gets too close.
Assassin: Uses void for stealth, throwing daggers, and a pair of short swords.
Druid: Focuses void to cure illnesses or injuries but can also use void to do just the opposite.
Mage: Focuses void to create/strengthen and destroy/weaken barriers.
Warlock: Uses void to cast spells (excluding magic granted solely to Druids and Mages)

This is essentially Where basically you tell me the GM what you want the character(s) to do and I roll to see how badly you do (and then every character dies).

Regular Dice
1: You fail badly (Roll Dice of Doom)
2: You don't fail quite as badly

4: Dead
5: Very Dead
6: Very Dead Indeed

You don't have very good luck, in fact you have very very bad luck. Which probably explains why your in your current predicament. (Just your luck that a wormhole just randomly picked you up and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere). Anyway most of your memory seems to have disappeared. All you remember is... Absolutely nothing. You seem to have been dropped off inside of a log cabin so it looks like you'll have some time to get your bearings before you start exploring. There is a window on the northern  side of the cabin and the southern side. There is a door on both the western and eastern sides. In the cabin there appears to be an empty backpack, and a set of winter clothing (Gloves, hat, snowpants, winter coat). What do you call yourself, how would you describe your self, and what do you do now?

This is basically my first RTD so please bear with me. (cough, cough)
