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!

[Those wierd A' things meant he used a symbol, likely from copy and paste from word or something, that was formatted differently than the text box here. The text box didn't recognize it and replaced it with the A' thing.]

You thoroughly search the kitchen, yet find only dish towels and soap... The kitchen seems devoid of anything useful. However, you did find a little food; maybe it can heal your lost health.

You struggle to get a good view of the wall. When you finally get a good enough look, it appears that the roiling blobs in the wall are actually faces of shadowy figures. A feeling of dread falls over you as you consider the possible reasons for this awful realization. Your thoughts are interrupted, however, by a harsh screech from above you.

"This is my castle. I was transported here by the shadows, just as you were. But it wasn't just me. People from everywhere seem to get transported here when they encounter the shadows, and with their help I constructed this castle as a refuge for those misplaced by the evil mist."

The roar of the twister starts to get quieter, as if something or someone else distracted it [could it could it be due to something above? ]. You use this time to rest and regain your energy.

After a while of traveling, you find a house. However, it appears to have shadowy flecks flowing from it... Will you risk it and search the house for food?

The tall figure replies, with a dismal, downward glance, "No... We've tried and tried, but there is no way out. Sometimes portals will open randomly around here, but they are always traps and never end well for those who try to traverse them."

Your thoughts stray to the two human figures you saw near the portal, and you hope they decide on the castle as their destination...

[Did I say "before"? I so meant "after" .]

Frightened, I swiftly turn my head towards where I heard the screech from. I now run as fast as I can away from... well, everything. Or away from the side that looks and sounds worse, I guess, if I am completely surrounded.
