The Aetherworld Prison - RTD
« on: May 19, 2014, 07:53:27 pm »

Greetings, citizen.  For crimes against the Crown, you have been exiled to Aetherworld 4, District 20.  The severity of your crimes have landed you in penal colony 666, nicknamed: Tartarus.  Warning: Physics may not be subject to universal laws.  Your term will be for life; there is no chance of escape.  Enjoy your stay…

Welcome.  My name is Aetherworld 4 Database, but I often called Gilbert.  I require you to input your personal details for processing.  Please use the following format.

Name:
Race:
Gender:
Age:
Crime:

Preferred Stats: (Randomly rolled by GM, put in order of preference using 1, 2, and 3.  For example, 1:STR, 2:DEX, 3:IQ, your low stat would be IQ, high would be STR).
Starting Skills: (Pick two, I may adjust it. Alchemy, Axes, Firearms, Luck, etc.)
Bio:

I have also been instructed to provide you with a rudimentary knowledge regarded Aetherworld 4, which will be presently dispensed.

Aetherworld 4 was discovered by transdimensional explorers several years ago.  The sheer brutality of it led to its establishment as a penal colony.  However, all colonists sent have perished within several days.  The world is strange, and fluctuations in not only its weather but its natural laws happen regularly.  Items warp in and out, most often with the ending of a life -- leading to several suggestions to establish the colony as a death camp. Because the total life expectancy is approximately one week, the Crown has decided to grant you a basic item to give you a fighting chance at survival.  Best of luck.



Attributes are Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), and IQ.  Most skills are keyed off of an attribute (Dodge/DEX, Endurance/STR, Charisma/IQ).  Not all skills are keyed off an attribute (such as Luck).  Many skills are a flat “roll” advantage (+1 Swords skill gives +1 with Swords), but not all are (+1 Fencing allows you to key 1 IQ to hit instead of DEX).  To level up skills, you must LEARN (through books/teachers) or PERFORM (by doing it) them.  Positive performances (good rolls) tend to level them up faster.  A hidden XP tally will be kept of each character’s skills, to determine when they will level up.  New skills may be FOUND (through books), GAINED (by doing an action associated with that skill repetitively), or CREATED (usually by PMing me and putting several turns into trying to develop it).  For starting skills, pick any basic skill (agility, reflex, endurance, fortitude, luck, etc.), or PM me and ask for one specifically.

As seen in the character sheet I have asked you to make, you will need to choose a RACE.  Races grant bonuses/negatives to stats, specific bonuses (Humans gain skills faster), and boosts to certain skills or skill groups.  You may choose ANY race you would like, and I will create it.  If you are unhappy with how I built your race, PM me to change it before you are put into the game/within the first couple of turns.

Each player must also pick a CHARACTERISTIC.  Each character has one and only one, but each may be picked several times by different characters.  They grant specific bonuses to the character.  If you wish to have a custom characteristic, PM me with your idea.

Great Genetic Potential: Increased chance to have better attributes.
Skill Monkey: Learn skills faster.
Saintly Race: Pick an OP race (do not pick an OP race unless you have this!).
Aristocrat: Start with more stuff than everyone else!
You’re a Wizard, Harry!: Start with magic potential unlocked, a wand, and a spellbook.  Name the branch of magic you specialize in (Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Nature, Death, Astral, Blood, Technomagic).
Adventurer: Start with a magic weapon; type is of your choice.
Athlete: 2x speed, tire ½ as fast, +2 on rolls involving athleticism.
Robust genetics: More likely to mutate beneficially (react favorably to radiation, etc.).
Spaceman: Start with a high-tech item, the ability to use it, and the know-how to create it.
Chosen One: Divine intervention, motherfucker.
Child of the Night: Zombie, Vampire, Werewolf, etc. template.
Temper: You don’t do well with failure.  On a 1, you get a 6 on the next round.
Lucky SOB: On a 1, have a 50% chance to get a 5 instead.
Souleater: Devour the souls of defeated enemies to get half the XP of their skills.
Into the Wild!: +1 to all stats, learn skills faster, cannot own stuff. May have a weapon.
Average Joe: Working class hero.  Cannot get negative attributes from initial rolls, but you have a lower chance to get improved attributes.
Russian: Vodka-fueled machine.  Get bonuses on rolls if you have alcohol in your system.
Immortal: You cannot die. (However, you CAN get chopped up into a million little pieces. Gross.)


Please keep OOC chat on the thread to a minimum.  Do not double post, and try to post only one to two replies between each update. Updates will happen every Wednesday and Saturday, unless something comes up.  Please post by 6:00 PM PST on those days.  Game will start Saturday, May 24th.   If you have any questions or comments, send me a PM.

Reserved.  Incoming sheet.Prepare to be mopped.  Wonder if this will actually be accepted.

Name: Cleanbot Model US-2497 DESIGNATION MOP
Race: Mop Robot
Gender: N/A
Age: 8
Crime: Attempted to destroy mop incineration facility
Preferred stats: Dex, IQ, Str
Starting skills: Stealthy, explosives creation (excellent knowledge of applied chemistry as it relates to industrial cleaners and beyond)
Bio: The Swiffer Dominion, mega corporation and oppressive government, for many years had little reason to complain about Mop.  It mopped serviceably and without complaint in Swiffer's headquarters, next to the incineration room where broken and old models were sent to be destroyed.  Somehow, though, a technician made a serious error in Mop's assembly, and in its 8th year of service it developed self-awareness.  When an employee found Mop attempting to create explosives in the incineration room, ostensibly to destroy it, the corporation decided to quickly ship the robot away before it could cause any structural damage, or worse: give any other mops wild-sensored ideas.
Characteristic: Into the Wild!

Chosen One gives you a small chance to gain a bonus on a roll, and gives you bonuses when you're in danger.  Essentially, think of it as God watching over you.
