Welcome to Utterly Random and Probably Crazy. Please keep your wits about you, as this is not unlike the Keymettic Arena, but unlike the Keymettic Arena, I will actually tell you how things work a little bit. Unfortunately, this may be of little help. Please keep the following in mind:

1. This might be one of the stupidest forum games you will play.
2. You probably have no idea what is going on here.
3. Forum rules still apply here.
4. Please use OOC if you are not in-character.
5. Anyone may join at any time.

STATS
You are a Focresacunaut. As a Focresacunaut, you have four base FRAP stats: FOC, RES, ACU, and PHO. Each of the FRAP stats are important in their own way. Each stat may have more than one use.

FOC - FOC is equivalent to KEY. It is your attack stat.
RES - RES is equivalent to MET. It is your endurance stat.
ACU - ACU is equivalent to TIC. It is your agility stat.
PHO - PHO is a special stat that cannot be above 6.

In addition to your four base stats are three derived stats: Fatigue [= (FOC + RES)*4], Health [= RES * 5], and Stress [PHO].
- Fatigue points show your energy. Each strenuous action will decrease your total fatigue points. You cannot move if your fatigue points reach 0.
- Health points show your health. Your character cannot die in this experiment, but there are worse things than death if your Health reaches 0.
- Stress points show how unstressed you are. Stress is the same as your PHO stat. Every time you fail a PHO roll, and you will fail PHO rolls, you loose one stress point. Each turn you stay at 0 stress, you will lose 5 Health.

GAMEPLAY
You may come across various challenges. You don't have any particularly useful skills, so your base stats will have to do. Character-to-character actions (such as combat, pickpocketing, or social interactions) check your roll against an opponent's stats. The higher your roll the better. Solo actions (involving skills, of which you have none) check your roll against your own stats. The lower your roll the better.

CHARACTER CREATION
If you choose to enroll in this experiment,
1. Roll 3 [3d6] and assign the points to FOC, RES, and ACU.
2. Roll 1 [1d6] for your PHO.
3. Fill out your character name. It does not have to be your username. Age and background are optional. Your background should reflect your phobia.
4. Choose one of the following phobias:
-Social (crowds and public speaking)
-Heights
-Creature (Spiders or Snakes or something else, needs to be cleared with me)
-Germs and Dirt
-Tight spaces
-Dark
-Ghosts
-Clowns and Dolls
-Death
-Your Mom or Dad
-Something of your choice. It needs to be cleared with me.

How would your character even know if someone sacrifices animals to the gods?

@gantic well someone can be afraid of murderers or robbers right? They don't know who is a murderer or robber.

You're right Matt. Somebody needs to be afraid of overpowered weapons that only I can use.

Yeah, I suppose my weapon choices are pretty limited... Maybe some sort of floating thing I can use.

Well, you can use horses for travelling at high speed. You'll probably have to blindfold me while you do so, though.

@nivlac724: It needs to be something else. It can't simply be a fear of something. It needs to be something that negatively affects your daily life.

@red303: For a present box, sure.

@nivlac724: Are you sure you want to lock in a mecha phobia?

For the sake of the game, can we assume I'm a talking present with arms and legs? I imagine just being a regular present would kind of mess up my character.

Gantic even asked if nivlac was sure. We're all doomed. I'll expect the young horse robots within 3-5 business days.
