The Beginning
You grew up in the small village of Chiakor, a remote village with rich traditions, buried deep in the wilds.
Every year for as long as you can remember, your village has chosen a champion to send to the cursed Demon Realm.

Legend has it that in years Chiakor has failed to produce a champion, chaos has reigned over the countryside. Children disappear, crops wilt, and disease spreads like wildfire. This year, you have been selected to be the champion.

Character Creation
What is your name, Champion?
Male or Female?
If your are male, are you lean, average, or thick?
If female, are you slender, average, or curvy?
What is your skin color; light, olive, dark, or ebony?
What color is your hair, and how long?

Stats for the game include:
Strength - Increases your physical strength.
Toughness - Increases your health points and how quickly fatigue increases.
Speed - Increases you chances to evade attacks, certain encounters and to run from a fight.
Intelligence - Increase the chance to withstand certain encounters. Spells are also easier to learn and cast.
Corruption - Shows how corrupt you've become since entering the Demon Realm. If high enough, you won't be known as the nice guy anymore. Nice thoughts and actions will be harder to perform if corruption becomes too high. Anger rises a lot faster when more corrupt.
Fatigue - Determines whether or not skills and spells can be used. Waiting, resting, and sleeping reduce fatigue.
Hit points - Your life. If it reaches 0, your enemy will find a way to corrupt your mind or body in some way, adding to your corruption.

Every person is born with a gift. What's yours?
Strength - Are you stronger than normal? +5 to strength
Toughness - Are you unusually tough? +5 to toughness
Speed - Are you very quick? +5 to speed
Smarts - Are you a quick learner? +5 to intelligence
Endurance - Are you energetic? Recover from fatigue faster

Before you became a champion, you had other plans for your life. What were you doing before?
Alchemy - You spent some time as an alchemist's assistant, and alchemical items always seem to be more reactive in your hands. You are much more successful at making concoctions than the normal person, and can make others much more potent.
Fighting - You spent much of your time fighting other children, and you had plans to find work as a guard when you grew up. You do more damage with physical attacks.
Healing - You often spent your free time with the village healer, learning how to tend to wounds. Healing items and effects are more effective.
Religion - You spent a lot of time at the village temple, and learned how to meditate. Meditating will reduce corruption.
Schooling - You spent much of your time in school, and even begged the richest man in town, Mr. Savin, to let you read some of his books. You are much better at focusing, and spellcasting uses less fatigue.
Slacking - You spent a lot of time slacking, avoiding work, and otherwise making a nuisance of yourself. Your efforts at slacking have made you quite adept at resting, and fatigue faster.
Smithing - You managed to get an apprenticeship with the local blacksmith. Because of your time spent at the blacksmith's side, you've learned how to fit armor for maximum protection. Increases armor effectiveness.

This RPG is based off of a similar one I played on this forum a couple years ago of the same name. I will not link to it because this will be heavily story based, and I don't want to release any spoilers. There won't be any hard math in this game, just me looking at your Character Sheet and deciding how well you should do at whatever you want to do based on your stats.

*Two hours pass. I recommend not just waiting in the future, there's lots of small things your character can do to pass the time while being productive like exercising.*

You just lounge around tossing some stones for a couple hours.

*You gained a rock! Also, no saying things like “I walk a little bit and see a path.” You control your character, I control landmarks and NPC actions. You can say “If I find a path quickly, I walk on it. If I do not find a path quickly, I turn back.” You can do as many of those if statements as you want in one post.*

You pick up a sturdy, nice sized rock that could probably do some damage, but doesn’t weigh too much either.

"Huh." I say in a small tone and sit in the bed thing. I take the axe and examine it.

*Ten minutes pass.*

The axe appears to be five inches long in total, with a five inch wooden handle and a one inch head, made of some type metal, probably iron. The head also extends another two inches away from the handle. You doubt you’ll be able to use in combat since it’s far too small to comfortably wield, but it might come in handy if you wanted to cut something.

I rub the sleep from my eyes, and do a double take. I've never seen anything quite like this creature. Is this one of the monsters I was sent to slay?

I keep a safe distance. I relax my muscles a little, and inquire about the contents of the potion.

(Oh thanks for the explanation!, I don't play RPG's to often, but I think they're intriguing!)

*Eight hours, twenty minutes passes, fatigue drops by 6. Sorry about the EXP thing, I’m copypasting between a document file and the comment box, and was debating about giving you 20 or 30 EXP, and must have just changed it to 30 in the comment box.*

You go to bed. You wake up, and see the sun barely over the horizon in the east.

“Oh, it’s the most delightful new concoction! See, I mixed together some- Oh, you probably don’t care about the ingredients. Anyways, assuming nothing goes wrong and your face doesn’t melt off, it should turn you ears into pig ears!” she says.

You’re not sure how to react to this. On one hand, it could be useful to keep her happy, on the other hand… pigs ears!?

*Thirty minutes pass, gained five fatigue, discovered forest!*
You head in the opposite direction from the lake, east. You were jogging for about thirty minutes when the same weird phenomenon that happened at the lake happened again- the endless plains of grass were suddenly replaced with a huge forest! You couldn’t see the ends of it when you looked left or right, and the canopy was so thick that little light could get in to the ground what looks like twenty feet in!

Day: 1

You take one last glance at your village before entering the cave. It was very dark, but you could see dim red glow in the distance. Walking towards it, you soon come across a swirling red portal that smelt slightly like rotting eggs. Knowing what you had to do, you stepped through it and appeared in an alien world. It appeared to be a normal plain, covered in long grass, at first glance, but then you realized the whole world was tinged slightly red.
Turning around to fully examine this strange place you found yourself in, you notice the portal disappearing! Panicking, you tried to leap through it, but it was already gone before your feet left the ground. It was probably for the best; if you did make it back, who knew what kind of tragedy the demons would inflict upon your village for not giving a sacrifice.
Deciding to set up camp, you ripped some of the grass out of the ground beside yourself and pushed it together to form a makeshift bed for when you'll eventually to back to sleep. For now though, there's a whole new world, perhaps even universe, for you to discover. What do you do?
