Story
You are suddenly awoken by a thorough chill that pulses through your body. Half-awake, you get out of bed and begin getting dressed. You finish, but then notice something strange: the sun isn't up, yet there is an eerie light filling your room.
You explore the rest of your house and find that you are alone. No family. You step outside. Shadowy mists are flowing everywhere, and disgruntling whispers can be heard from... somewhere. A pang of fear pierces your chest when you look around and see nothing. All that is visible in any direction more than 50 feet outside of your house is a roiling blackness.

About
This is a role-playing game set in a mysterious shadowy realm.
Up to 7 people may join by filling out the form below:
Form
Name:
[You have 15 points to use on the below stats.]
Gender:
Offense:
[This is related to the damage you will deal.]
Defense: [This is related to your resistance to taking damage.]
Agility: [This determines who moves first, second, etc.]
Luck: [This determines you chance to do extra damage, and the amount of extra damage done.]
Ability name: [You get to be creative! I will check this.]
Ability description: [You get to decide! I will check this, too.]

Gameplay
Up to 7 players will be accepted. Players will engage it battles with enemies that I determine. Players will request their actions to me during a battle, and I will do appropriate calculations. Players start at level 1, and will receive experience (XP) to level up for doing damage to enemies, defeating an enemy, and winning a battle (though there may be more).
Outside of battle, I will provide some guidance, but overall the players will request what to do. There are innumerable actions players can choose. When one player suggests an action, I will either post it for players to agree with or shoot down, and if a player consensus has already been reached, I will tell what happens as a result of the players' actions. If the players wish to separate and explore separately, that is fine, they need only request it. However, the hordes of enemies players encounter will NOT be weakened for a solo player.

Any other information needed? Just ask!

Go to the bedside table and search it. I keep my Bible in my bedside table, so it figures...

You finally find your Bible. As you grasp it, an unseen force flings it from your hands. Suddenly, your vision grows black... When your vision returns, two shadowy figures are surrounding you...
What will you do?
a) Engage
b) Flee

You and Jon Cook hear a screech from somewhere near. The shadows deepen, and so do the whispers...

You reach the origin of the scream. However, you find yourself at the edge of the wall of shadows... There is a little area where the shadows seems different, as if something is forming, even living there... Occasionally, a burst of shadows is emitted from the strange spot, accompanied by a harsh whisper...

[I welcome you, Sensei Bassami! Profile is good. I have added age next to gender (in parentheses).]

You scan the shadowy landscape, yet see nothing significant. A chill creeps down your spine... But it was must have been nothing.

[Feel free to request to join someone to form a party - you'll have better chances in battle!]

[Jon Cook, Jack Chaos has requested to join you, forming a party. Do you accept?]

The whispers slowly go silent. Suddenly, a huge black blob blasts you back 30 feet. You get up hurriedly to find that the black, shadowy wall has returned to its previous state...

To attack a specific enemy, use it's number in your attack description. Attacks are up to you, damage will be around your Offense stat, and most other numbers stuff will by done by Excel (which I am using to manage this game).

Note: players do not gain XP until a battle ends.

If you need help, just say.]

[Posted by thebluerabbit (Blue Wings):

My decision:
Every five levels, I will allow a player to add a part to their ability, or improve its effects in some general way.
It will be at my discretion.
Thanks for all the support and suggestions, everyone! I hope to make this a long term fun game.]
