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.

That could work, Darkfire. Or could also just have someone carry me around. I don't mind.

@09philj: You need to roll two more dice for your FOC, RES, and ACU. Those are 3d6 and you rolled 1d6.

There is no equipment or items yet, but there are some secrets to uncover before the game actually starts that will award access to bonus equipment or bonuses in general.

There will be a &quotrologue" posted before the actual game. The prologue will have some effects on the game, but it can only be completed before the start of the game.

Some time this week is the most likely. It should take no longer than a week to complete.

More like he's less afraid mid-flight becuase he feels like he has a small amount of control of if he falls in flight.
