Forums → Forum Games → The New Beginning *REBOOT* (RPG)
| 151 | 48947 |
Hey! This is a reboot of my first forum game, which I will link soon enough.
Backstory: There used to be an Earth. A nice one, at that. Humans lived peacefully on it. Then came war, and weapons, and new nuclear weapons, the Earth blew up, blah blah blah.
The point is, humans destroyed their own planet with pollution and war (have I mentioned that already?). You are disappointed, but you decide to try again. At what, you ask? At making a new Earth. YOU are the..."god," as those humans named you, and you want to turn over a fresh leaf. You are starting Earth's New Beginning.
All players will work together on this, managing the new human race and the new planet you have created. It's not an individual story for each player, as with most RPGs, but you and your fellow immortals have to make an Earth together. Unfortunately, your "fresh start" has made you start fresh. That means you are a fledgling god, instead of the figure of divine power you were.
Name: (Self-explanatory)
Gender: Male, Female, or Nonsexual
Age: 4 1/2 Billion Years.
Element: Choose an element or force of nature that you specialize in. You have power in all aspects, but this element you particularly have more power in.
Personality: Do you ignore insults, or immediately reprimand the speaker? Are you caring and generous or despising and miserly? This is basically where you put how you usually act.
Appearance: What you look like to other beings.
You have 25 points to distribute among the following skills:
Intelligence: Your general knowledge.
Charisma: How powerful your presence is and how easily you can persuade someone to do something.
Constitution: Your health; how much damage you can take before disintegrating.
Strength: Your physical prowess (even gods have limits.)
Creation: Your ability in other elements; the difference from being able to create a puddle instead of an ocean.
Any questions, just ask.

They have each gone their separate ways; one off into space and the other to the nearest planet.
As you debate who to go after, a large, humanoid-shaped wall of flames suddenly roars toward you, pointing its palms toward you and summoning fire.
It is about to fire raw flame at you.

You plant a small apple tree next to the underground caves. It works....

The roots are using the radioactive waste as food, and as such, it is slowly dying.

You sense the average temperature of the planet slowly rise.
As you are doing this, you see a mass of fine white threads and a humanoid wall of flames about to fight.

I keep pulling the planet until I think it is warm enough (natural sense I guess), but keep an eye on those two.

Not good, this tree is weak. First I offer the tree some of my beer, but alcohol isn't the solution to all of life's problems. Then I offer the tree some water in the form of a small pond at it's base (Can I do that?), instead of the radioactive stuff. And it was pretty sweet.

(Wait can I do simple terraforming? I.E making a hole to the middle of the rocky planet?)
If I am allowed to do what I asked above, I attempt to make a hole to the middle of the rocky planet then attempt to make a circler hole in the middle to fill with ice.

I hurl the ball at him, amplifying the sphere's gravity as much as I can before suddenly bolting for Earth. As I fly away, I invert the gravitational pull of the asteroids which should have been attracted to the rock, hopefully creating a smokescreen. If I get to Earth, I fly down and probe the surface.

You continue to pull the planet, slowly bringing it closer to the sun and increasing its temperature. It's slow going.
You watch the ball of white threads throw a small rock sphere at the flames. Incredibly, the god slams into the ball, disintegrating it but letting out a silent bellow of pain.
Another deluge of rocks begin to hurtle at the flames, but suddenly, they stop and create a field of asteroids between it and the ball of threads, which has retreated to the third planet from the sun.
That thread-thing could help you a lot with your planet...

You create a small pool of water at its base, and in a flash of inspiration, add alcohol to the pool.
The tree starts growing rapidly.
You also feel a tremor, as if something massive or of great power just landed on your planet.

Yes, you may terraform, but a hole to the center will leave you quite drained.

You hurl the sphere, and it slams into the god, who was drawn to it before. The sphere is disintegrated, but the god bellows silently.
Millions of rocks that were suddenly attracted to the sphere freeze in midspace and make a small field of obstacles.
You bolt towards Earth and land on its surface. (What do you mean by probe?)

It hurtles at you, and suddenly, you are drawn to it.
You slam into it, and although your excessive heat melts it away, the two kilometer wide sphere did quite a number on your health. You bellow in pain.
temporary -2 penalty on Constitution
You shake off the daze of the rock, only to find a huge field of rocks blocking your path. You see the mass of threads flying off to the rocky planet in front of you.
The rocks seem impassable; how could a puny god do this to you?!
What do you do?
(Please keep in mind your Intelligence score and what it means for The Destroyer)
It's totally possible for some gods to be involved in a dispute, and I encourage that hostility, but the rebuilding of civilized life will go much quicker and smoother with (perhaps reluctant) cooperation from all parties.
Remember, the goal of this game is to make a better system than the one that came before it.

I think that maybe the fight against this other god would work better if it was two against one. With this in mind, I head back towards George to convince him to assist me in battle.

I hang a "No Trespassing" sign on the apple tree and look down on my work with a sort of drunken pride. I dismiss the minor earthquake and continue working. I change the pond to a spring, and from there I extend a small stream into a nearby crater.

I still pull my planet closer, thinking whether to ask for help. I then decide that, since the white stringy thing had landed on his own planet, I should leave him alone. (Will you tell me when I'm close enough?)

You fly back to George, the fireball you have conquered.
"George, I need some help," you communicate to him. "A god is being a little jerk to me and I need some help destroying him."
George just sits there, silent.
"George!" you yell.
He continues to, what it looks like, ignore you.

You reason with yourself that would be the best thing to do.
The planet continues to move, but it's slow going.
(It's gonna take a few more turns.)
