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!

I say, "Whether he's alive or not, let's take the stone with us. Not like anyone's using it now. Even if it turns out that it's not the one from the legend and is just a rock, it's still shiny and can be made into a nice necklace or something."

Fire everywhere? And I have nowhere to go? This sounds bad...

Aspero makes a short grunting noise, like a small laugh. You continue walking, but moments later Aspero stops, holding up his hand.

[Not everywhere. Imagine a plain with bushes scattered about. Now replace the bushes with fire, and the ground with charred plants and ash. ]

You listen in, but the conversation is just ending. You hear something about stones and the name Eldroff, but you don't know what it means...

The people begin moving, but then halt. One says, "There's someone here..."

[MH stands for Max. Health. So, -15% MH means it will deal damage equal to 15% of the enemy's Max. Health.]

Shadows hiss and strike at the orb, and manage to put it out. Your magic is not yet advanced enough to repel them...

You wander around, and realize that the shadows [not the enemy] are closing in all around, limiting further and further the space you have to move...

I stop.

[For the damage thing, you could make it like 1 offense point = 1 standard 6-sided die. So if you've got 7 OPs: 7 dice get rolled and the total is the attack (minimum=7, max=42). Something like that maybe? Anyway here's a calculator for dice if you like that idea.]
