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 hope I'm not too predictable with my story. How has it been recently?]

Rolling hills and foliage obscure your view after a mile of sight, so you head in the direction you perceive the castle to be in. While you travel, you call out for Aspero, but receive no responses.

Suddenly, a horrible scream of pain echoes from the plain. The sound bounces among the hills, and slowly fades into silence...

Slowly, you maneuver the treacherous cliff. As you do, a castle with a path leading to some strange vertical disk slides into view. However, you also begin to hear a hissing sound.

You look up, and see a wave of transparent shadow heading down the entire side of the cliff. It is only a minute away...

You send a blast of thunder down the hall at the guards and beasts! One guard gets shocked, but the rest chase when you run away!

You run until you find a small, nearly hidden alcove. You and Sensei shove into it, and wait for the commotion to go by. When the noise is gone, you carefully sneak out of the alcove...

[Again, thanks. Saves me the annoying minute of having to go find it, select the right amount in my post, and copy it.]

You head up the stairs and follow the retreating figure of the shadow into a bedroom. Inside, there are three others waiting. They notice you, and all turn, snarling.

[Note that since Mael has been inactive for so long, you will be able to specify his actions in battle. You will gain 50% of the XP, and he will gain the other 50%. Enemy defeat XP will be split normally.]

[Something I want to make you aware of: your previous post "I attack it again" is not what I consider a "smart" action. There are these problems:

1) Though I know you mean Shadow 1, "it" is a word I'd rather you refrain from using, as it is not specific.
2) The way you phrased it, I will have you use all four of your attacks on Shadow 1, even though it has only 1 health. Basically, you'd be wasting three attacks.

So, to fix it, a statement like this would be better:
"I attack Shadow 1 until it is defeated, then I attack Shadow 2."

This way, you are specific and none of your attacks are wasted.

I'll let you fix it if you want.]

we will have to be more careful. but... the first place the guards will check is probably the kings room. then we should follow them without them noticing. they also wont expect us to be behind them

[Sorry guys, but it's not happening tonight either... D:

@amorboy

Well, if it was a fiction book, I'd agree with you, but this is a nonfiction book about geology that constantly uses geologic terms that I don't understand. Probably half of the time I spend reading a page is trying to piece together what the author is really trying to say... D:

We lost our first game 1-2, won the second--3-1, maybe?--and lost the third 3-4. Overall, pretty good for our first tournament together.

I have some free time tomorrow, so I'll try my best to get the post in! Thanks such a great deal for being so understanding, everyone! ]
