Life's No Object
« on: July 12, 2015, 03:30:31 pm »

What would you do, if you knew this life was only one of many other, potential lives?
Who would you sacrifice to save your soul?
When would you stop escaping your death?

What you choose to do is trivial.
Save a life. Get revenge. Make history.
Or take a walk down the darker path.

When you die, your soul leaves your body. It cannot survive without a host for more than 24 hours.
But you can take replace of the soul of another Bay12 user who is alive, but not in the game.
Will you? What will you use your new life for? The one after that?

Just remember,
you can never return to a previous body,
if your identity is stolen, you cannot play the game,
and the results of all actions are determined by the roll of two standard die.

No. But no multi-paragraph descriptions, either.

Oh, you don't steal someone's body until you die.

We need 2 more players to begin, but there can be a maximum of 6 total.

Interesting concept. Is there any other sort of in universe setting or is gameplay mostly an abstraction?

It takes place on Earth, modern day, in a New York-sized city and the surrounding suburbs.

Alright, let's start this a little early:

Nunzillor:
You find yourself in a taxi cab. There is a mustachioed man in trench coat in the backseat. Your high beams are on, even though its only early evening.
Welcome to Suburbia, District 5.

Detoxicated:
You find yourself in a hobo's clothes, in a dark musty alley. It is early evening. A taxi cab with its high beams on cruises by, illuminating the murky drainage under your feet.
Welcome to Suburbia, District 5.


Choose a unique text color. This will change when you take over a new body.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Sam glanced at the customer. 
Nice wardrobe, buddy.

"Great day, huh?  So where are you headed?"

Ask the guy where he wants to go.  Skip the smalltalk.

Mlamlah:
You find yourself standing at a railing, looking at a river. As it flows under the concrete upon which you stand, a raven is perched on that same railing, not too far away. You feel like you shouldn't be here.
Welcome to Suburbia, District 6, St. Nepenthe's Hydroelectric Dam.

Detoxicated:
Throw some trash at the taxicab
[9] You throw a nearby beer bottle at the rear of the car. It hits the license plate with a resounding shatter.
You hear a drunken, stuporous voice, from farther down the alleyway:
"Stop the damn clatter. Don't make me kill you, meboy."
Please choose a more visible color

[4] He pulls a high-caliber sub-machine gun out of the folds of his trenchcoat.
"It's going to be great day with a red, misty sunset if you don't get me to the District 6 Dam in 10 minutes!
And turn off those damn high beams!"

[6] You recognize the location as St. Nepenthe's Dam:
Location:
Suburbia: District 6
Arrival Times
Legal Speed: ~15 min
Enforced Speed: ~12 min
Risky Speed: ?

[3] You might have finished your thought process if it weren't for the sound of shattering glass on back of your car. Impulsively, you take a sharp turn into the other lane, then overcompensate for this, by swerving back and and onto the sidewalk. You notice the mustachioed man  has dropped his weapon on the floor of the car, and is swearing viciously under his breath.
