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!

You take another step, and a group of shadowy figures materializes directly in front you. They seem to have a thin, lithe, ape-shaped bodies... What will you do?

[Your weapon is a two-handed weapon, so it is more powerful than a one-handed weapon and takes twice as many points to upgrade. The number of points needed to upgrade a weapon is displayed in parentheses next to the weapon - Wooden Staff (2). Sorry if that was unclear.

Also, I'm afraid I don't know what lost items you are talking about. When I said "...have trouble gaining your bearings" I meant you don't know where you are, which direction is which, etc.]

You begin to scout the area, but your progress is halted when you notice an advance of pure black clouds from your immediate south.

(I'm sorry that I've been really on and off lately, I've been extremely busy - and still am, so I don't know what you were talking about referring weapons, but I think it's a good idea.)

I try to look at them more carefully, in order to find any weakness.

You quickly identify weak spots near the shadow-swordsmen's lower sides. The soldiers continue to advance; you situation becomes absolute: engage, or be engaged [more XP for engaging intentionally! :P].

As you travel north, away from the shadow clouds, you notice a cave, and decide to camp there for the night... or is it day? It's hard to tell in this shadowy world...

Lusim directs you to the barracks, and introduces you. You notice that all of the soldiers seem have a certain respect for Lusim, maybe even a fear?

Soon after your arrival, a gruff, muscular man comes up to you and asks, "You Kratos?"

You and Sensei Bassami figure out a watch shift system. You rest, and when your turn comes, Sensei Bassami awakens you. "I've been seeing odd movements out there," he says. "Be careful."

You walk to the edge of the cave. Instantly you are mesmerized by the spectacular blue and red lightning that accompanies the rolling shadows...
