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.

Your point is applying an analogy using a fixed-wing aircraft vs a non-fixed wing flying creature. If he loses control and starts crashing down and can't fly back up, then he should be equally afraid while flying as when not flying, or even more afraid of flying than of heights.

Why not go with fear of landing. That, at least, makes some sense.

considering a flying animal that can't fly.

He has a fear of crash-landing.There,how about that?

Note:beforehand my brain wasn't really up to par quite frankly.You could probably tell but whatevs.
And if that makes no sense either,Ima take a break from AG.

I think your character has a fear of failing more than falling or crashing. Failing to fly and failing to land. It'll make for slightly different game play that most people, since no one chose a social phobia yet.

Okay.Sounds resonable.

I can revert to my fear of strom again. That'll make things socially "different." Maybe I can become a stronger person by overcoming that fear. Or maybe not. I mean, she did kill me in the previous game.

The reasons it will severely cripple your character is because StormWalker is psychotic and you will be the first to find out what happens at 0 Health. Are you sure you want to change your phobia?

You can be afraid of me anyway, just don't classify it as a phobia. Problem solved.
