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!

As you continue your search, a sudden large crackle booms overhead. You look up, and to your dismay, the shadowy wall has spread above you! As you look in every direction, you realize that the shadows (not the enemies, but the wall) are closing in from every direction. You race away from the advancing juggernaut.

Your call is met by a huge grumble of thunder. You look up to find that the shadowy wall has also evolved into a ceiling which is charge with purple bolts. Suddenly, one of the bolts strikes 10 feet from you, and the thunder blows you back! All around, your vision begins to grow dim, as if the shadowy wall is forming on top of you...

[You are disbanding Party 1. Are you sure?]

You run until Jack Chaos disappears from your view. All around, the shadow wall is closing in...

[Your party's health is restored by bits over time.]

Your party sits, resigned for the worst. Slowly, the shadowy wall closes in on you, and you feel your consciousness slip.

You awake to find yourself on a small black platform. It is no more than 100 feet across in any direction. The roiling black shadows surround the outer reaches of the platform.

At the other end of the platform is a tall black figure. Evil and cruelty seem to radiate from it. You think you see it beckoning to you? What will your party do?
