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!

Rage crosses the hooded figure's face... or at least as much of its face that you can see. "Don't ploy with me! Explain your intentions. NOW."

[Such love you have for your party members. ]

You see many varieties of creatures trapped in the one-way-view cells. You continue down the hall, seeing more and more cells. Do they ever end?

Suddenly, you see a door leading to outside! You rush through, and almost fall down a sheer cliff face! You turn around, and see another cliff face spanning hundreds of feet up in addition to the one directly in front of you whose bottoms is not visible from your altitude. The only other option of travel is along the narrow cliff ledge...

[Blue Wings joins Sensei Bassami to form Party 2! Blue Wings declines the leadership position, making Sensei Bassami the party leader.]

What will Sensei Bassami name the party? Until he responds, it will be called Party 2.]

Sensei Bassami: You flee the encroaching shadows with endless vigor. In the distance, you see a flame, and decide to go meet it.

Blue Wings: You test the stick flame, but to no avail. Suddenly, you hear footfalls behind you. Before you can turn, Sensei Bassami has you in a death hold with a knife to your throat. However, a wealth of understanding flows between you and the ninja as you realize you are both have no intention of hurting one another.

[You're fine, Blue Wings! I don't mind, however long it takes you to post, as long as it's at the very least once a week.

I posted this at 11:42am CDT; what time was it where you live?]

You two decide to work together, hoping your combined efforts will lead to some answers...

[As said before, separate actions are okay. For players in parties, I will try to wait until both players have posted. However, if a player doesn't post for a day, I will advance the story without that player (the player will act as a dead weight in the party).]

The figure stares at you, unblinking, for a long time. Finally, it relaxes, and says, "I am sensing no wickedness from you... But we still have to be careful. Come with me..."

This thing's tone... Could it know something about the shadows? Maybe you should question it... Or will you comply to its demand at all?

You see a variety of odd and deformed creatures, yet none seem to be in any condition to help you; in addition, you have no method of breaking into the cells. Every time you touch a cell wall, a ring of shadows squeezes you and knocks you down.

Seeing no other option, you begin traverse the treacherous cliff, Jack Chaos in the lead. After half an hour, you reach a small alcove in the cliff, about 50 square feet in size. You decide to rest and plan your next move there.

As you go around the cliff face, a large obsidian structure comes into view. It appears to be some sort of castle! In front of the building, there is a deep purple path. At the end of the path is a ring of shadow that appears to lead elsewhere...

You run with all your might, yet the shadow twister doesn't seem to get any farther away... In fact, it seems to be getting closer! No matter which way you turn, it follows...
