Bay 12 Games Forum

Reality would reboot eventually and we’d be able to start over again anyway.

I have some questions about the game, since I'm not sure yet if I wanna join or not. If you could say anything about these that'd help me decide.

-What will the tone of the game be like? On the one hand it seems to involve fighting monsters, which gets an automatic plus from me, but then it also mentions 'classes' and such pretty often in a way that makes it sound a bit like those high school RP things. How is the balance between these supposed to be? Is it lighthearted or more serious? Or like that thing they have in some anime were they mix the things, with silly school shenanigans one moment and limbs flying the next?

-The rules mention death coming quick but then also say you can be patched up from nearly anything. So, how high are the stakes exactly? How bad is it if you screw up? Is there a real failure state?

-What is the gameplay format like? Is any person free to do whatever, will there be mission cycles, freeroam with occasional events?

Alright, here's the character sheet.

Spoiler: Jun Yeung (click to show/hide)

Previous Name: Jun Yeung
Previous Gender: Female
Previous Age: 20
Previous Appearance: Jun was about 5'9", with a boyish figure topped with a short pixie cut of hair that was jet black until she turned 16, after which she never kept it the same color for more than a couple weeks. She got out fairly often, as was evidenced by her fairly fit physique, even though she was a bit on the skinnier side. Her face bears her Chinese heritage, framed in an oval shape with a pair of dark black eyes.
Background Story: Jun never met her parents. She tells people that she was found floating in a storm drain, but in reality her parents just couldn't afford to keep her. Her developmental years were spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, never having a chance to really settle down. She was drawn into skating fairly early because it gave her an anchor point in her life and opened up her social circles. As long as she had that board, it didn't matter where she was, when she hit the streets there were always people ready to welcome another skater. In her home life she just kept her head down and did her homework. In fact, she was a pretty good student, graduating highschool with a near-perfect GPA and a couple honors. Despite this, she never could imagine herself in college, and dropped out to focus on her skating. She brought in money by building boards and doing favors, but soon she was just building boards, even making something for a name for herself in the local scene. It was while she was showing off one of her newest creations that she lost control of the board and slid out into the street to meet her end under the wheels of a truck.

Current Name: Jun
Current Gender (if different from above): Same old, same old.
Current Age: 20
Personality: Jun is pointedly frank in most situations and has a habit of teasing people, though never in a mean spirited way. If Jun doesn't like somebody, she tends to convey that feeling much more directly. She's otherwise a very roll-with-whatever kind of person.
Likes/Dislikes: Fast food, comfortable clothes, purple / Dishonesty, cloudy days
Fears: Stagnating, snakes
Berserk Buttons: Breaking/touching any of her projects without her permission
Favorite Things: That high you get when you accomplish something that was a lot of work.

Caste: Earthdust
Weapon (Has both melee and ranged modes): A slender staff with a metal head that starts out rectangular before tapering to a point. One side of the head has been sharpened, allowing the spear to be used for both chopping and thrusting. The pole is constructed out of metal and has an opening at the upper tip where an additional spike protrudes, adjacent to the main spearhead. With the press of a button, this spike can be fired to attack enemies at range. Additional spikes are stored in the shaft and will move into the ready position after the previous one is fired.
Psyche (Ability that's unique to the student): Portal Generation - Jun can create portals between different spaces. Things that go in one portal have a tendency to come out the other. Most of the time.
