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!

Aspero stares for a while, then relents. "Fine. But we must remain cautious. Don't trust anything that comes out of that man's mouth..."

You begin walking toward the edge of the decimated plain, when you hearing a vicious whirling behind you. You pivot quickly, and see a large phantom of flame hovering not ten feet away.

You craft the weapons and attempt the give them to Zyth. However, he only looks up at you with one his crestfallen faces.

You ask, "I know it's not the right time, but do you have a special ability, like me?"

He looks at you, vexed. "Ability?"

You walk to the center of the dark shadow wall. Looking up, you see a small hole in the obsidian ceiling, almost like the eye of a hurricane.

A penetrating chill passes over you slowly, starting at your fingers and toes then progressing across the rest of your body. Your vision fades.

Seconds later, you return to normal, and find that somehow you have moved from under the center of the shadow-storm...

You sneak nearest the doorway as you safely can to the room containing the two talkers. Their moment of suspicion passes, and they resume talking.

The first one has a deep voice. "We have to get rid of him. What do you think happened to those people? I know for sure they didn't go on a cake walk."

The second voice sounds weaker and unsure. "I didn't say that... I don't know. I don't want to get caught up in something like this."

"You already are, so deal with it. I must be going."

The first man leaves, apparently through a second doorway in the room. The first man remains, and starts muttering to himself.

"Dang, silly, bigheaded-- He doesn't know what he's doing, he doesn't KNOW! Ugh, what to do..."

You run vigorously, and manage to reach the house! However, inside you find wisps of shadow beginning their takeover...

Normally I'd run, or at least try to, but I'll assume you'll say I'll trip and it will seem hopeless, so instead I'll try to skip that step: I take out that blue stone thingy to see if it does anything.

i say: i meant an ability like this. i absorb the light from the fire and use it to create a hovering lumibomb, then i reabsorb the lumibomb. i continue talking to him: i used it to defeat the guards in the castle. and the weapons i made are for you, in case you have not an ability like me. i shoot a light ray to the ground, left from me.

[Hey, everyone, I just wanted to say that the post won't happen today.

I was away at soccer from 9am to 6pm today (I had two games that were 45 minutes away), and just got done with some homework. I'll try my best to post tomorrow, though my time window is very small.]

So again, most sincerely, I apologize. The post won't happen tonight, though I said today would be today.

I am not going to generate any more predictions. I will post when I can put together the time.

[Thanks so much for your understanding.

I'm predicting almost no homework from English and only a little from math (the two major harbingers of homework). However, my calculator has also gone missing (maybe stolen...) and that will make math a bit more difficult. :P ]
