Pre-Message: I have surfed many forums and forum RPGs. I don't like the way most are set up. Stats get annoying, turn-by-turn battles are cliched and those RPGs always fall apart. So I had the idea for a different kind of RPG. No stats, no interface bars. Just you, making your way, deciding your fate, and making your own choices.

Story

The year? 2021. The world economy is now in ruins. Crime rates are 7x higher than they were 12 years ago. The opposite of inflation happened; money is so scarce that it is quite valuable. The population of the world has decreased incredibly. Wars and global disputes have run resources low. America has basically ceased to exist; riots and corruption uprooted the government, and without direction, the people turned the world into pure chaos. It seems that everyone is corrupt, or dead, and few are to be trusted. Now, it is every man for himself. This? Well, that is easily answered. This... is the End.

You are just a person living in terrible times. Corruption and war have basically destroyed the world, and now barely anybody can be trusted. You must make choices that impact whether you will survive, and sacrifices for what you believe should be done. Perhaps even fix the problem of what caused this massacre to happen.

You

You are you (you = your ideal character for what you want to do in this game). There aren't stats, all you need is a character sheet. This is to be as simple as possible.

Name: Example
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Description: 5'6, 150 LBs, Brown hair greenish/blue eyes.
Traits: (more on these later)

----------------------------------------------------------

Traits

Traits are passive benefits that effect the way your character's lives. Here is a list of traits with their effects:

Military Procedures: You were trained the basic ways of gun handling and safety procedures.
Bravery: You are brave, making you more likely to successfully complete a risky task.
Burly: You are stronger than the average Joe.
Like a Ninja: You have improved reflex and dodging abilities... like a ninja.
Disarm: You are good at disarming potential enemies.
Cheap Shot: You can incapacitate enemies with high skill.
Eagle Eye: You are good with your eyes and pay much attention to detail.
Computer Savvy: You know a lot about computers, hacking, and how to retrieve hidden documents, codes, and that type of thing.
Marksman: You are generally a good aim with any firearm or thrown object.
Bomb Tech: You know how to identify, use, and disarm bombs and all kinds of explosive devices and related equipment.
Bandit: You are exceptionally good at stealing, pickpocketing, and lock picking.
Iron Man: You are tougher than the average person, able to take hits better than most other people.
Driver: You can operate vehicles that have wheels with exceptional skill.
Crafty: You are good at making things from basic materials that are found often.
Scavenger: You excel at finding items.
Hardened Criminal: Years of a bad lifestyle have shaped you. You feel no pity, remorse, or fear, and can are a dangerous person.
Escape Artist: You can escape most situations. Remember, you can't run for ever.
Medic: You have an improved knowledge of medicines and their uses.
Sprinter: You can run for long periods of time.
Logical: You are more intelligent than most others.
Cunning: You can often outsmart others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Your character only gets 3 traits, so choose them wisely! Remember, they effect your (almost) every action. As the game progresses people may gain more traits.

Starting

You start out with $25. That isn't a lot of money. There are plenty of ways to earn money out there. You also need basic life needs: food and shelter. Can't live on nothing, can you? It should make more sense when we start.

Shop

Here is what is located in the shop, what the item does, and the price:

Dull Knife- $5- can cut weak things.
Sharp Knife- $15- can cut durable things.
Crowbar- $15- can pry apart objects.
Hatchet- $15- can chop brittle materials.
Brass Knuckles- $15- can inflict much pain.

Gasoline- $3/gal- Some gasoline (comes in a red gas can). Flamable
Rags- $3- enough cloth for 3 moltov's.
Lock Pick- $5- A single lock pick, can be used until it breaks.
Lock Picking Set- $25- An advanced lock pick mechanism, that doesn't break and is more successful at picking locks than a basic lock pick.

Water- $1/bottle- the best medicine, also refreshing.
Cheap Beer- $1/bottle- hardly refreshing.
Vodka- $4/bottle- a heavier alcohol. Flamable.

Fingerless Gloves- $10- Improves your ability to steal.
Tennis Shoes- $15- Improves your ability to run.
Arm Band- $5- Makes you more intimidating, but can get you into trouble.
Hoodie- $20- Makes you conceal your identity easier.

Bicycle- $20- Improves your speed.

Store note: more tools will be introduced into the game later, along with guns and more vehicles.

Now we can get started. No more than 5 people please, if we don't get a lot than I will join the game myself. If you don't understand something, just ask.

Cool, our first two people. Please note that you make your own choices!

OK

Bob

You are in what seems to be the basement of a scientist lab. You have a pack with your only worldly possessions in it. To your left is a staircase leading out of the basement. To your right is a computer. Behind you seems to be a large glass cylinder of purple liquid, the liquid looks similar to a lava lamp. On the wall there is a map of the building that you are in, but you can't quite see the details from your position. What will you do?

Kyros

You wake up, lying on the ground on your face. You slowly get up and hold your head, something had hit you recently, leaving a scratch. Behind you is a duffel bag with your items in it. About 10 feet in front of you is a brown brick wall, cracked and broken from the hundreds of riots that have taken place here. You see a street sign, you are on 7 West Street. To your left is a building with a heavy door, and to your right, on the other side of the street, is an abandoned hospital. You notice that you cannot hear a single car anywhere. What will you do now?

Devos

You open your eyes. You are lying on the cold hard floor. A badly wounded and partially unconscious cop is sitting against the wall, practically limp. You try to remember what happened. Then, it came back to you. A large explosion had blown a hole in the wall of the police station where you were being held. It just so happened to help you escape! Looking at the cop, he seems to have already been looted by the culprit of the explosion. You go to your right, and open a drawer that says "Evidence" on it. Inside is your trusty knife and your favorite gloves. A breeze blows in the scent of freedom. What shall you do now?

~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, I hope people keep joining, I will take 2 more for now. I might end up making a character myself, depending on what happens.

IceDrakeKnight... O.o? Why is your name exactly Riou's name? And why do you have 7 traits? And why do you have $46 worth of items, when the limit is $25, and why do you have comrades and why did you make up your own story!! Did you even read all the info about the game??

Kyros (Riou)

You walk over to the Heavy door on your left. You jiggle the handle, the lock is weak. Putting your ear to the door, there is no sound coming from the inside, so there might not be anybody in there (military procedures). In just a matter of seconds you have the flimsy lock open. You slowly open the door. Inside it is a dull gray. A desk is at the far end of the room, about 15 feet away. On the right is another door similar to the one you just entered, but the handle seems to be smashed apart some time ago. On the desk is a ammo clip for a 9mm handgun. What will you do now?

Annihalation bud, I left you a message reserving a spot in your next RPG.

Besides, what's an RPG without Annihalation and ZachAttack together in it?
