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!

[Pillage would have made much less sense because that means to strip of goods. More of robbing than attacking.]

Lusim eyes you coolly. "I see. These 'battle plans' of yours... surely they are nothing to hide from me? For your sake, I'd hope not." You catch a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

[I see there's no "Ready to upgrade" thing next to "Double kitchen knife". Do I need two WP for it, or more?]

You have a problem, take it up with Excel's random functions.
Good one .

[Okay all, here's the situation, I'm just getting around to the RPG now, and it's late, so I'll post tomorrow morning. Happy 4th!

Oh, and yes, in Central Daylight Time, the time zone in which I am posting, it is still the 4th. So no one better say "it's not the 4th anymore." :P

And for those of your who don't live in the U.S., ignore everything about the 4th. ]

"I see. I apologize for the intrusion." Lusim turns smoothly and walks out of the room. A sudden chill passes throughout your body.

[Your double kitchen knife is a two-handed weapon, so it takes twice as many points to upgrade (two, in this case).]

You look around, but forest still covers most of your view...

[Okay, everyone, I am capable of doing one, possibly (but improbably) two, more posts. I have to go see family in a neighboring state, and won't be back until the 11th (six days from today).

Don't worry, I will not, will NOT forget about this game. Never. Nope. No chance. I just won't be able to post for a while... I'll message every player before I leave and after I get back (I'm not leaving until tomorrow morning).

Just a heads-up! I'll try my best to post later tonight. ]
