Suppose you knew everything about the world.
Nothing left to discover, nothing left to see.
What would you do?
Give up on it all?
Or would you look even further beyond?
To the powers of creation, and destruction...
For as long as we've lived, those powers have eluded us.
But...
Maybe we can reach them after all.
You will make your decision. What it is? I can't wait to find out.
Lost in Thoughts
Ayy, so this is a thing that's happening and I'll be your gamemaster. Now, because I'm pretty sure that no one wants to bother dealing with something D&D level in a forum (and truth be told, I'm no good with being in charge of D&D) this is going to function... a bit differently. Actually a lot differently. Think Paper Mario... of sorts. Allow me to explain. Naturally, you'll be exploring the world for as of yet unexplained plot reasons. Along the way you'll find many places, many enemies and many things to do. Basic RPG fare, really. Like in Paper Mario, there are four stats: HP, SP (or as it is in Paper Mario, FP) BP and DF. HP is your health: if it goes down to zero, you're knocked out. And you might just get killed if no one helps you there... SP allows you to use certain attacks, BP lets you wear more badges that can do many things, like gain skill variants or increase how long you can survive. DF is defense: damage taken will be the attack minus this stat. Usually only enemies have anything above zero in this stat. Your options in battle all revolve around these stats - the key to using many skills is investment of SP. Next up is the character sheet. Because, you know. It sorta needs to exist. Name: Background: Appearance:
Stats (split between 25 points at level 1): MAX HP: MAX SP: MAX BP:
Skills: - Improvise - - -
And here is a skill table. Depending on your character, some skills may be locked from use (for instance, weapon based skills would require the character uses such a weapon and magic attacks require a magical affinity): Skill | Effect/SP Cost | Improvise | Do anything you think you can do based on your current circumstance, and a d20 will be rolled to see if it works. You can invest SP to make it more likely to work. | Strike | Attack a single target at close range. Deals 4 damage normally, but can pay SP to do more. 1 SP = 1 more damage. | Slash | Attack a single target using a blade at close range. Deals 3 damage, but ignores 2 DEF. Costs 2SP. | Elemental | Attack with magic at any range, dealing 4 damage. Badges can be used to customize this attack's element. Standard costs no SP, but added elements cost 1 SP. | Party Crasher | Slam down on the ground and hurt all enemies at once, at any range for 3 damage. Will not work against flying enemies. Costs 2 SP. | Yell | Yell at an enemy, decreasing their DF by 2 for two rounds. Costs 1 SP. | Encourage | Encourage an ally (or a foe!) to do an extra 1 damage next attack. Investing SP (default cost is 1) will add to their damage output. 1 SP = 1 more damage. | Heal | Heal an ally (or a foe!) for 4 HP. Investing SP (default cost is 1) will heal more. 1 SP = 1 more HP recovered. | Examine | Check a character to learn its stats. | SPECIAL ATTACK!! | Come up with something yourself, and run it by me. If I approve of it, you can use it! |
Not even that pleased with this, but hey. Worth a shot, right? Send me a message if you have any questions, otherwise... start preparing characters!

Background: A former villager from a kingdom of the past, he left his home in search of knowledge, wisdom and the way of life. To satisfy his never ending curiosity of the unknown, he had built a time machine out of clocks, clogs, and whatever moving parts he could buy using his savings. In the end, he had successfully became the first ever time traveler just like that. The only problem was, he forgot buy batteries for one of the clocks during an expedition, so his time machine, the KMGB, malfunctioned and had left him stranded in the present timeline. Now he's lost in time, with a goal to retrieve the parts necessary to get back home once more.

Skills: - Elemental - Improvise - Heal - SPECIAL ATTACK!!: Boar's Head Suplex: 4 SP to deal 6dmg to a close-range foe, 1dmg to Baekun, and incapacitates both foe and Baekun for one turn. Baekun gores an opponent and bends over backward to slam him into the ground.
Other things of note: -Sharp Snout: Baekun's heightened sense of smell allows him to detect things with his nose. -Swine Stench: Baekun's porcine physiology allows others to smell him easier. PLAYER: Pkyoshi19Name: Sam (Prologue: 'Lemonade')
Background: Born in the city but raised in a village, he studies all day, locked in his room. Seeks ultimate knowledge of everything in this world. Recently left home to "explore the world". (That's all the info we could find about him.)
Appearance: Brown, messy hair. Wears blue glasses, has brown eyes. Always wears his old school uniform. Honestly, he looks like he needs a good shower.
Stats: MAX HP: 8 MAX SP: 11 MAX BP: 6
Skills: - Attaque (Improvise) - Magie (Elemental) - Soin (Heal) - SPECIAL ATTACK!!: Rage: "It's tiring to study all day. I need to beat up something, right now." The lower the user's HP, the higher the damage. Starts at 4 damage, for every 2 HP lost damage goes up by 1. PLAYER: Minerva SeyfarthName: Hime (Prologue: Panorama)
Background: A Guardian God who resides over Earth, equally matched to her best friend, loves to dance, and prefers peace over battles. Also loves the sky.
Appearance: touch.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=big&illust_id=26819365
Stats: MAX HP: 10 MAX SP: 10 MAX BP: 5
Skills: - Improvise - Heal - Elemental - SPECIAL ATTACK!!: God Knows: A chargeable attack. Takes 2 SP to begin the charge, and two turns to fully charge. On the third turn, a wave will be released from Hime's wings dealing a whole 14 damage. That's a lot!! PLAYER: namelesssselemanName: Meeshy (mi-she) (Prologue: Ashe)
Background: In his past life, he was a magician's assistant, one of the most well-known and powerful magicians in the land. The young lad was instructed to concoct a powerful potion, one that could grant eternal life. Carefully following his master's instructions, he created the potion and was instructed to test it out himself. Although hesitant, he drank the potion and waited. He didn't have to wait long, however, before his skin became a ghastly purple, similar to a fungi that had been brewed into said potion. He then died almost instantaneously afterwards, barely given time to register his fate. Upon death, his corpse mysteriously turned to dust merely minutes after, and as such he was never properly buried, and his body was never found. Generations later, he was mysteriously reincarnated as a living mushroom, unrooted from the ground. Having no memories of his life or how he met such a fate, the little mushroom gave himself the name "Meeshy" (for reasons not even he knew). Retaining his personality from his former life, Meeshy is a kind, curious, and helpful soul, but can suffer from his innocence and naivety (even though the former man was almost 20 when he died).
Appearance: A small, 1 ft. tall mushroom with a wide and tall "cap" that's purple with indigo spots of different sizes scattered about. His "stem" or body is about average width, barely enough to uphold his large cap, and his face is as simple as it gets; two big old dots for eyes. They look somewhat adorable even, though the lack of any other facial feature is questionable. He has roots, but most of the time they are retracted within his body. He can pull them out and plunge them into the ground to receive nutrients (which is how he eats) or keep a firm ground. Alternatively, he can wrap his roots around any piece of food and consume it that way.
Stats: MAX HP: 5 MAX SP: 15 MAX BP: 5
Skills: - Improvise - Examine - Implant (Heal) - SPECIAL ATTACK!!: Spore Scatter: For 3 SP, Meeshy releases spores onto the enemy party, inflicting a random status effect onto each enemy. Has a greater chance of working the less enemies there are. You can check the status of every character here.

Cool! Here's my character sheet.
Name: Elishmarjoriovonlicktinstien, or Eli.
Background: (EDIT: Too many princes, so I altered the story a little) A former villager from a kingdom of the past, he left his home in search of knowledge, wisdom and the way of life. To satisfy his never ending curiosity of the unknown, he had built a time machine out of clocks, clogs, and whatever moving parts he could buy using his savings. In the end, he had successfully became the first ever time traveler just like that. The only problem was, he forgot buy batteries for one of the clocks during an expedition, so his time machine, the KMGB, malfunctioned and had left him stranded in the present timeline. Now he's lost in time, with a goal to retrieve the parts necessary to get back home once more.
Appearance: Tall, with a below average build. He has spiky blue hair, wears glasses, a necklace with a cross, a grey t-shirt, jeans, and a heavy black jacket nowadays. Along with green shoes.
Stats: MAX HP: 7 MAX SP: 9 MAX BP: 4
Skills: (EDIT: Actually figured out how to use this lol)
-Slash -Party Crasher -Improvise -SPECIAL ATTACK: Copy Cat/Summon
Basically, a high risk/high reward move that can only be used twice in battle. Depending on how powerful the enemy is, this move takes a 50/50 chance in gaining its most valuable abilities. The alternate version of this move, Summon, works as a minion spawner. Depending (again) on the enemy that's attempted at being summoned, this move is once again, a 50/50.

youtu.be/eZHNXvdl_t0This is some gameplay for Hime. A few of her attacks are here, including God Knows. It's definitely a noticeable attack.

wowie that sure is some interest I'm going to go through the special attacks now and make a few balance changes, let me know if you're okay with the changes and we'll be good to go. Otherwise we can work something else out.
Eli: Having two different variants of a single attack isn't really working with me so I decided to allow Copy Cat for a price of 2 SP per use, and infinite use. After using it though, the copied skill doesn't cost any SP at all. Summon will be a little too awkward for me to work around, so I'm afraid I can't really go with that.
Meeshy: All good. Thinking of charging 3 SP for it.
Hime: All good. Thinking of charging 2 SP for the initial charge turn, and then the next charge turn is free, and then you can use it. Two turns of idle and 2 SP spent for an attack doing, say, 14 damage. I think that sounds fair, although it doesn't really seem like it'd be any more useful than using a normal attack a few times in a row (the attack lasts three turns overall, and if you were to say, just use Strike three times, you'd only do 2 damage less). Feel free to change it if you please.
ALSO IMPORTANT
Looking at your individual stat spreads, I feel it'll be beneficial if I raised the level 1 point cap to 25. So yeah, now you can all add 5 extra points to your stats. Fun.
