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 use one of my dimension hounds to teleport out of there
[Gah! People post too quickly!
IMPORTANT! I want player opinion: how would you feel about me allowing more players? I created a limit of seven so I could have enough time to figure out how to run this thing, and now that I have it somewhat down, I'm okay with raising the player limit to ten (add three players).
I'd like quick feedback, please!
Thanks, all!
Also, I may be inactive for a few hours, I have drive time with my Driver Education instructor... Bleck...]

You manage to teleport only half a mile; you are still a weak from summoning the last hound, and now you have almost no strength to donate toward summoning another. Behind you, the roar of the shadow twister can still be heard...

Ability: Melee Master [Is very skilled with melee and brawl weapons.]
The hallway continues to widen until, seemingly from nowhere, a huge castle appears. As you are walked toward the front gate, you swear you see two human-like figures on a road that leads between the castle and a weird shadowy circle. But your view is blocked as the castle walls engulf you, and you are led inside.
Once inside, you find yourself in a foyer. However, this welcoming room does not seem welcoming at all. In fact, it matches the shadowy theme perfectly; black furniture, black flooring; even the lights are black (might as well call them darks), and seem to cast, instead of light, a dark essence across the room.
The tall figure turns to face you, and states firmly, "Wait here. Do NOT move until I permit you to do so." It disappears into a side room, and you hear the clash of soft voices, as if two people were arguing and not wanting you to hear a word...

Blue Wings informs you that his flames have been of no use in deterring the swarming shadows...
You turn, expecting to head home and try to answer some of your inquisitions, but instead all you see is more shadow. Frantically, you look around. To your chagrin, you find that the shadow wall had advanced to provide you with a mere 10ft by 10ft area. Worse, it is still advancing...
[Well, sorry everyone, but some weird stuff went on with that post... Maybe I shouldn't write so much in one post. Or maybe that's not my fault, with everyone post all at ONCE!
Just kidding, thanks everyone for the involvement, I really appreciate it. And remember, if you ever have anything to suggest, don't hesitate!]
