This is a turn by turn based RPG, there is leveling-up, upgrading & buying, killing & conquering. All you have to do is read the below information to understand the game, and enjoy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
BASICS
All you fine Ladies & Gents get to "take control" of the greatest hero of all time. You shall destroy many a foe and conquer all the lands of Hysteria by the side of your fellow ArmorGamers. From groups of skeletons to giant man-eating flea bosses that shoot fire balls, maybe. But definitely boss battles, and with that, loot: gold, weapons, magic, anything useful / necessary for becoming this epic hero of awesomeness
The hero will also come in a variety of races. First off tho, a mere human, but only to unlock new races.
Your goal as the hero it to protect your town from invasion, grow in size and defense, then journey through Hysteria to kill Mad Man, the son of a gun who started all the bad things in which a hero was needed to solve and help with, yeah.
And at any time, later in the threads, I will introduce PvP, but that'll have to come with me working on this ALOT longer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here is what you need to know to start:
HERO INFO
Name: "Hero of Awesomeness"
Race: Human
Lvl: 0
HP: 5 -------------- (HP = Hit Points)
MP: 5 -------------- (MP = Magic Points)
AP: 5 --------------- (AP = Action Points)
SP: 1 --------------- (SP = Special Points)
HP represents health, it will regenerate 1 every 4 turns.
MP is your mana pool, it will regenerate 1 every 4 turns
AP is how many swings, dodges, searches, lootings you can do. It will regenerate 1 every 3 turns
SP is how many charges you have of your Speical Ability, and as a human, that is an immediate upgrade to either HP, MP, or AP. This will raise it's value by 1. (i.e HP: 5 --> HP: 6) It is only received randomly in searches / lootings, or by leveling up! And When you level up you regain ALL HP, MP, and AP!
HERO INVENTORY
Inventory - Sack & Stick
- Shiv (+1 atk)
- Tunic (no def)
- Sandals (no def)
x1 Biscuit (+1 HP)
x1 Small Vial of Pure Water (+1 AP)
In your inventory will be your loot: weapons, armor, gold, treasure, foods, and accessories. You will start with a Sack & Stick which can only hold 5 items. You must find a better inventory item, loot one, or buy one at the Store. Equipped items are listed with a "-" in front. Unequipped items with a ">". Consumables with a "x1" or corresponding number to quantity.
TOWN INFO
Town is the first area of Hysteria, you will defend waves of enemies and have quite a but of items and villagers to play with and use to help defeat the hordes.
Town: Vanity Village
Villagers: 10
Maintaining a high number of villagers ensures growth, and income. This will also more frequently give Upgrade Points (or UPs).
Upgrades:
Castle: 0/5 ------------- (Technology, Weaponry, Defense)
Wall: 0/5 ---------------- (Defense)
Town Hall: 0/5 -------- (Growth, Leveling)
Hospital:0/5 ----------- (Growth, Revives some lost Villagers)
Residence: 0/5 ------- (Growth, Income)
Farm: 0/5 --------------- (Growth, Consumables)
Lake: 0/5 --------------- (Growth, Magic, Consumables)
Mine: 0/5 --------------- (Income)
UPs: 0
Income- 0gp
Treasury: 0gp
Income is the amount of gold you will be raking in, and how much upkeep your upgrades and villagers are bringing on to you. Try to keep this in the positive to help get the goods. And the Treasury is the bank of your hero. You can take from here, or add here. Anyone has access to it, and if I feel like its not a ridiculous request, I'll sanctify it.

I equip the dagger but plan to look for more. The entire time remembering the stories my mom had told me about her days as a thief. She had also taught me how to be one since I was the only child and a girl, as she had wanted. As memory serves the rest of my mom's thieving equipment should also be in the basement. I can't remember though where or what exactly was a part of it, other then a set of lock-picks and a cloak.

Sweet, I love the responses, especially:
I fight that fish with my bare hands
So I'm currently working on the new RPs, I just need to go over a couple of changes and additions I'd like to add to the hero sheet.
1) First off, you may have noticed that when I posted the first RPs, this happened to the hero sheet and inventory:
Name: Ethanâ¨Race: Humanâ¨Lvl: 0â¨HP: 5â¨MP: 5â¨AP: 6â¨SP: 0â¨Inventory - Sack & Stickâ¨- Shivâ¨- Tunicâ¨- Sandalsâ¨x1 Biscuitâ¨x1 Small Vial of Pure Water
This isn't what the hero sheet should look like, this is a mishap from me copy & pasting from text edit to ArmorGames. If this continues to happen, I would much appreciate it if you guys would meet me half way and always post your updated hero sheet like this:
HEROâ¨
Name: Storm Keket Dragon
â¨Race: Human
â¨Lvl: 0
â¨HP: 6â¨
MP: 5â¨
AP: 5â¨
SP: 0
INVENTORYâ¨
Sack & Stick
- Shiv
â¨> "Lady Death's Mystic Dagger" (?)â¨
- Tunicâ¨
- Sandalsâ¨
x1 Biscuit
Thank you, StormDragon for doing so already, this will help me stay updated with your correct hero sheets.
2) I'm introducing exp. (obviously experience). To level up to level 1 you must acquire a total of 25 exp. I will post the leveling system soon after the next wave of RPs. Your exp. will be found right under your current level. If you die, you will lose exp., though you cannot lose leveling from dying, you can reach the equivalent to 0 exp. for that level. If you level up, all debuffs, or negative effects will be removed, unless it's a curse. You will also receive 1 to 3 SP points to spend on your stats. Your HP, MP, and AP will also be completely filled upon leveling. In short, level up, it's good for you.
3) Status Effects. I'm adding a couple of sections to the hero sheet (I apologize in advance if it's becoming too long), this section will hold all the passive effects on your person, or items. This will include poisons, buffs, and weapon enchantments. You get the gist.
4) To make this game feel more D&D like, I'm adding a turn section as well. This will help me see the activeness of heros, keep track of status effects and your passive regen rate.
HP represents health, it will regenerate 1 every 4 turns.
MP is your mana pool, it will regenerate 1 every 4 turns
AP is how many swings, dodges, searches, lootings you can do. It will regenerate 1 every 3 turns
Turns, and the current number of turns you are at, will be located at the top of your hero sheet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So with all those new additions and enhancements, let's take a look at what your new hero sheet should look like:
Hero Sheet 0.1

I equip the dagger but plan to look for more. The entire time remembering the stories my mom had told me about her days as a thief. She had also taught me how to be one since I was the only child and a girl, as she had wanted. As memory serves the rest of my mom's thieving equipment should also be in the basement. I can't remember though where or what exactly was a part of it, other then a set of lock-picks and a cloak.
The Story of StormDragon
STORY
Equipping the dagger you feel a strange hymn enter your body. Thinking you have enough time to delve a little deeper in your cluttered mess of a basement to look for trusty old goods left behind by your mother, you continue your searching. You can hear the static of the elementalists above, seeming to get closer. Frantically you search on. You push aside a couple of junk items from a strange black box, covered in markings and hieroglyphics. This makes a loud noise as well though, possibly alerting your enemies to your whereabouts. Knowing you have little time now you rip open the black box and find a Magician's Bag -- a sack big enough to hold 6 items (one more than your Sack & Stick) --, your mom's old Thieves Cowl, and a book titled: "The Art of Nature". With this find though, the elementalists are now coming down the basement stairs. With no escape, you're cornered and have to fight your way out. What do you grab, if anything, and how do you wish to fight the elementalists, straight on or the way of a thief? What do you do?
OUTCOME
- Magician's Bag replaces Sack & Stick
- Searching: - 1 AP

The Story of Arveniraider24
STORY
You may have chosen wisely for you have no immediate source of light. You turn your back to the dark cave, and weave aimlessly through the massive Yarigo trees. After what feels like hours of endless walking you hear a distinct splashing noise, the sounds made from Yorg when he moved about. Filled with a new found energy and hope you rush towards the noise. You burst out of the trees and into a massive field. You've never been here before, so at least giving you the tip that you're no where near Vanity Village. You were right about one thing though, the noise you heard was from the exact creatures as Yorg, Blobs. There's a group of 3 that realize your presence, they seem agitated and defensive. They slowly creep towards your position. Do you retreat back into the cover of the forest, or fight your way through the Blobs and into the field? What do you do?
OUTCOME

"I fight that fish with my bare hands."
The Story of Crickster
STORY
With a quick thought you decide to use your skills as a master fisherman, you swiftly grab hold of the fishing rod stick out of it's mouth, with a twist and a front summersault kick, you rip out the hook from the fish's mouth. Slightly hurting the fish, and successfully angering it. Landing a top of the fish you pull out your gutting knife and pierce it in between it's eyes. This, badly injures the Splashfish, but doesn't immediately kill it. The fish reacts by releasing a couple of poisoned barbs from it's back, shooting them into the air, directed towards you. You dodge them for the most part but one grazes your arm, inevitably poisoning you. You take 1 dmg, but this will continue every 3 turns. You must find an antidote, you could have some supplies at the house or head to town. In retaliation, you remove the knife from it's head, and throw it into it's mouth. You kill the Spiky Splashfish. Receiving 10 exp. You can heed my warnings about the poison and act, or gather your belongings / loot the fish. What do you do?
OUTCOME
- HP: -1
- AP: -2
- Light Poison effect added
- 10 exp. added
- Shiv removed

The Story of shadowgun453
STORY
Homeless since being a teen you know how to survive, and best of all steal. For having no income source of your own, you've relied on your quick hands and shady nature to sweep the helpless at night and rob them of any good or foods they might have. Best of all, none of your crimes have caught up to you, nobody knows your identity, all they know is that you're nicknamed the Highway Henchman. Your favorite place to be was the homely Vanity Village, you've found an abandoned well, long since dry of water, a small cavern big enough to call home. Living just outside of town, near the edge of the Mystic Forest, you reside in the well waiting for traders and adventurers to pass close by. Using your favorite finds and treasure, the"Midnight Mail", pitch-black armor that makes little sound while moving, and the "Golden Gluttony", a weapon that is believed to bring the holder good luck and fortune, to stick up these unwary walkers for what they own. And per usual, at dusk, you leave your shelter and assume vigilance. While stalking about you bare witness to something peculiar. In the woods a little ways you see a faint glow, a bluish color, but very bright. You step into the woods a foot, and you think you can make out a couple of black robed men, in a semi-circle with glow all aloft. The ground starts to shake beneath your feet, the moon seems to dim, fog spreads down from the mountain. That's when the earth started to give way in patches revealing skeletons, grasping at the air and the dirt around them and climbing out of the ground. Quickly surrounded you must act now. You can fight the horde of skeletons, try to evade them and head home, try to reach Vanity Village, or high-tail it towards those robed freaks. What do you do?
OUTCOME
- Shiv replaced with "Golden Gluttony"
- Tunic replaced with "Midnight Mail"

You easy evade the weary boned foes, and hit the road towards town, skeletons are everywhere though and some coupled spot you if they simply turn around. Scaringly close you manage to slip by many of them, until you run into one. Dark as the night with horns and red glowing eyes, this skeleton is menacing. It looks at you and then yells something in a long forgotten language, you and it are instantly enveloped in a wall of purple glow. He's put you in an arena spell, you must kill it for the spell to dissipate. Good news, no other skeletons are in the arena, just you and the King Skeleton. He starts to run at you, time seems to slow down, adrenaline is pumping through your veins. Do you attempt to dodge the attack, parry the attack, or counter the attack? What do you do?
