For now this'll be the primary topic for this rp. I have a few things to work out and tweak, I already have zairyo helping me out with this, but if there's anyone else amongst the guilds crew who would be interested in helping me breathe life into this rp I'd be much abliged. Okay, basically I got the primary idea of creating a survival-horror based roleplay...just instead of running from monsters, or zombies and the like, I'm trying to create a system where your character has to escape their 'prison' with their sanity intact...lest your character might as well curl up into the fetal position, suck on their thumb and wait for their head to go POP!... xd Currently I have a small list of locations as to where your characters will be headed....and in the next post I'll be provided the background on this roleplay... All Character Creation profiles shall go here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=1569578Here are the current Levels that the characters shall delve deep into.... Sun River Inn Crystal Lake Research Asylum West Grant Facility

Okay, here's the basic background story to Purgatory. (I'm still tweaking it abit so please cut me some slack...)
Basically, being the scare-fan that you are, you've watched damn near all the scary/horror movies that have come out and just recently a contest was announced on one of your usual shows, "Scariest Places In the World". You didn't hesitate at all to sign up for it. A few weeks pass and you've recieved a letter stating that you and a few others have won the chance of a life-time to join the SPIW crew as they journey into a few new-found places of high level haunting. The only thing that you don't realize though, is the fact that these places will test the very strands of your sanity....
(Sorry if it seems a little cliche', I'll work on it alittle bit more in my spare time....as for SPIW, I'd rather not have to worry about copyright issues, so I tweaked the name abit....XD)
Okay next....
With every survival-horror roleplay...there are usually some type of tools right? Well, you're on the right track so far...but one thing is for sure, these aren't your everyday toys.
Here are some of the tools you'll find:
*Ancient Crystal- A crystal that hangs at the end of a string; if it spins clockwise, you're surrounded by spirits, if it starts spinning counter-clockwise, run like hell!
*Thermal Camera- Something the crew provides you before you start yor journey into the unknown; it reveals all sources of hot and cold to you.
*Comlinks/Radio's- It's your only link to the crew outside, as well as your fellow contest winners, other than that....you're on your own... twisted
*Damaged Map- The crew wasn't able to find the blueprint's to the buildings you will be exploring, but with a little luck, and decent perception you'll be able to locate these damaged parchments and hopefully find a way to safety....
*Flashlight/Candle/Lantern- Flashlights are provided for you before you enter, but chances are the batteries'll run dead sooner or later. So if you're fortunate, you'll find a latern, a candle and something to light it with....just pray nothing blows out the flame.... twisted
*Spell of Protection- An ancient scroll that was provided to one of the guides, but was lost amongst the chaos...if you find one of these scrolls use it! It'll provide you temporary protection from any vengeful spirits that may be nipping at your heels!
*Divining Rods- Two thin metal rods that are rounded into little circles at the tips, it is said that if they cross you may be able to communicate with the spirits around you...
Nightvision Scope- One of the last remaining things you'll find from the crew....it'll be one of the few things that'll help provide sight into the darkness....

Next up....is the Fear System.....unfortunately I'm not sure entirely how it'll work....but since we now have a dice system, I'm hoping that I might be able to put it to use....for now I'll be inviting different gaian's, that I do not know, I will find them in the barton town ooc thread and invite them here....if they're interested I'll try and test the system with them and get their opinion's on it....from there I'll tweak any problems and then work on the rest as time passes by....
for now....those who will help me with the fear system can post here....

Fear Factor: Measured Fear
Basically as time passes things'll begin to freak the hell out of your character.....here's a basic overview of the effects of the five levels of fear:
*Minor- 0-15 FP
You're a bit spooked and begin to spend more time focusing on your surrounding's though your perception upon the reality around you fades...becoming naturally defensive and a tad paranoid is natural as well...
*Moderate- 16-25 FP
The fear begins to set in, and the mind begins to create dellusions(sp?), feelings, of seeing and hearing things. Your trust in your senses begins to fade...
*Severe- 26-45 FP
*Critical- 46-80 FP
*Fatal- 81-100 FP

Another factor with this rp will be character stats.....here are the basic ones I've come up with for now....I'll provide some basic descriptions for their use as well...
Strength- Physical strength, obviously this'll help you move obstacles, rubble, whatever happens to be in your way...
Endurance- How much pain you can endure before your body starts giving in to the pain.....
Perception- the process of acquiring, interpreting, selecting, and organizing sensory information.
Focus- Your natural ability to pay attention to detail amongst your surroundings.
Health- Self explanatory.....how much damage you can take before you fall over and die.....
Then the two main factors of Purgatory;
Fear
Sanity
No matter what, there will always be a limit of 100 max, in sanity, and fear starts from 0 'Fear Points' to 100....
As for the other stats, there will be a certain amount you start with, and you'll have a certain amount of points (still undecided as to how many) to add to your stats, permanently....

One thing Purgatory needs. A thread just for the characters in it. The thread should be updated as users get items or use them.
I'll create a sample soon to explain it better. (not sooner than a week from now)

Okay....basically this fear building system needs a bit of an explanation as to not confuse people....
As time passes fear can build up or even fade....it's usually the dm's decision....and I'll need two other mod's/crew member's to help me out with this....
But for now, here's what I had in mind....
Every post or so, each player rolls a D20 action in their post....
Then depending on the level of the fear that should be inflicted, a different die will be rolled....
For now here's the ratio's for each level;
Minor- D4 or D6
Moderate- D8 or D10
Critical- D12
Major- D20
Massive- D100 (This, in a worst case scenario where your character's heart literally explodes from the sudden surge of fear.....better pray you don't get a high number.... )
And for now....as I've not fully confirmed it....but you have a Fear 'Meter', and it initially starts off at zero. Each post in OOC format, you post your FP...

Honestly...I'm not on enough to start the rp...since I kinda lack a computer, or internet access at home for that matter....but I promise that when I do have daily access again I will continue working on this rp till we can actually start it....
So I hope you can be a little bit patient Ash...
RL has been a kick in the a** lately...>>
