World of Avatars(OOC)
« on: February 17, 2017, 01:35:00 pm »

,~World Of Avatars-*'
OOC



SUMMARY
AVATAR WARS (30 dwarves)
Avatars fight on many battlefields across time and space. The melee grows more complex.
PROLOGUE: NEW WORLD (IC thread here)
Avatars begin waking up, arriving, or otherwise appearing in a new world, this [ISLAND]. Several get more aquanted while exploring it( [ANCIENT BATTLEFIELD], [BOATMURDERED RUINS], and the [VILLAGE] ). Menacing avatar Fbzib, the Cosmic Phantom is encountered.
CHAPTER 1: PRISM PANIC (start)
A meteor crash lands in the woods beyond [VILLAGE]. At this crater avatars discover a massive crystal. A rainbow laser shooting black t-rex breaks from it and attacks.
CHAPTER 2: DARKNESS UNITED (start)
As soon as the meteorite creature is slain, word arrives that the [VILLAGE] is under attack. Golbins, Elephants, and more storm the wall.
CHAPTER 2X The avatars travel to the shield generator, to find out what is the matter with it. Fbzib having destroyed the generator himself, battles the avatars.
CHAPTER 3: PHANTOM DIMENSION (start)
Fbzib escapes to the [PHANTOM DIMENSION]. He briefly attacks the [VILLAGE]. Village elder Lun and avatar Papyrus are taken to the [PHANTOM DIMENSION].
CHAPTER 4: LIVING NIGHTMARE (start)


ATLAS
COMPOSIT DIMENSION
"As for what this world is, it is a composite dimension.
A mixture of worlds all rolled into one.
However, they aren't YOUR worlds, per say.
Just parts of very similar universes." -Lun
EARTH-LIKE PLANET
ISLAND
A hodgepodge of notable locals(and new ones)
 similar or identical to ones in avatar home realities. Aswell as beings from those realities. There is a forcefield in the sky holding back frequent meteor showers.
A. SHORE - P
Tropical beach with monkeys and birds.
B. ANCIENT BATTLEFIELD - P
Field covered with human skeletons and weapons. South of the A.
C. BOATMURDERED RUINS - P
Ruins of a dwarven fortress. The entrance caved in. There is an (abandoned?) underground city. Beware giant spiders and collapse hazards. South(?) of the B. The Fields of Fertility seperate it from the nearby D.
D. VILLAGE - P 1 2 2X 3
Home of races in common with the avatars. Surrounded by a high stone wall to block off invaders. There is small meteor crashsite in a wooded area nearby. Near the D.
E. PHANTOM DIMENSION - 3
Home and portal nexus for Fbzib

RULES CONVENTIONS
1. Out of character in (( double parentheses )).
2. While there is no main host, Asin is the closest thing to it.
3. Anyone can join, DM, do both. Though there is occasionally planning discussed here..(Or privately) Everyone helps tell the story.

Here is a widely adopted system but DMs can run a chapter how they like:

ROLLS
1 to 6 for actions. 1 is very bad. 6 is overshot so good it's maybe a bit bad. 5 is max success.

LUCK POINTS
You begin with 1 and can have up to 5. You can spend 1 to 5 of your saved luck points to increase minimum roll of your action. Spend 5 at ince for an auto-max success. You get more LP by:
-given by DM at end of a chapter.
-given by DM for completing a side objective(limit 1).
-from getting a 1 on an action that puts you in mortal danger, but not if you get a 1 again and die.
-2 for being DM, but you can't get any other thar chapter

DEATH
If you die, you will be given some options, a DM may add more:
-change your avatar and make a new character
-be revived but be cursed with -3LP, making it so you can't get a 5 until you get back to zero
-be banished to Valhalla until you've won 3 fights(total)
-other, similarly severe option by dm

I wanted to say some ideas. And I though it better to not spam the game thread with discussion. So, I made this... Is this Ok?

I was thinking it would be good, to help the game have story, if we declare a new "chapter" every once in awhile.
Someone can DM a chapter or it can be a freeform one. A DM one has a goal. Like defeat the rainbow death rex. What do you say? Approvzies?

is it okay if I can do the next major event after Rainbow-Rex(I've been trying since the beginning to do something) or would everyone prefer to leave it up to whoever happens to be in the right place to continue the story.

Of course, man. But I call dibs on doing a story arc instead of an event.

the event that I've been planning could evolve into a story arc. however it'll be very open and I will intentionally leave the threads for someone else to pick up

I was thinking about story arcs, calling dibs may help dms pass notes in advance.

Though I think it's really important that the game is able to continue if a host is inactive.

(Forgot to mention...
Merseth kinda respawns after death.
But... To keep this from being OP, he can only come back after a day of being dead, in MOST cases. So, we need some time progression...)
