Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here is the link to where all character profiles will go. If you post them here I will give you a warning, and ask one of the mods to move it to the appropriate topic...

Okay....with this game there are stats.....and plan and simple, it's easy to understand their use.

Strength
Defense
Movement
HP

And for s**t's and giggles I'm adding an extra stat;

MP

Here are the basic uses for each stat:

Strength- Adds to the amount of damage you inflict during combat.
Defense- Reduces the amount of damage inflicted upon you during battle.
Movement- This adds to the movement roll you recieve, increasing the distance you can travel.
HP- Common sense....you can only recieve so much damage before you collapse...
MP- A new random stat I wanted to throw in...each point of mp can be thrown towards extra damage with an attack, or reducing damage when you're defending. Also, for the fun of it, if you linger with 0 MP for too long you'll either collapse from Fatigue, or Go insane for a few turns, attacking friend and foe alike...


Stat Distribution system:

When you obtain 1000 EXP, which isn't too difficult you can add one point to your stats, and depending on how many points you add to each stat affects how much you have....

STR- Every point= +1 STR
DEF- Every 2 points= +1 DEF
MOVE- Every 3points= +1 MOVE
HP- Every point= +3 HP
MP- Every point= 5 MP

Now for the Character Creation System....

Name
Gaia Name
Age
Sex
Race *optional*
Weapon(s) of Choice: Maximum of two weapons can be equipped in the beginning, and as time progresses you'll find, or can purchase newer stronger weapons. But if you want, for personal reasons, you can have 4 or five weapons max in your locker, and switch them with each mission....your choice.
Appearance
Bg *optional*

Stats:
You have 11 points to distribute to your character....distribute them as you see fit, but you can't start the rp until you distibute all 11 points!

STR
DEF
MOVE
HP *Automatically start off with 10 HP*
MP *Automatically start off with 5 MP*

Next up....mission actions.

There are four basic actions;

Move
Attack
Rest
Search

Okay for the most part you'll be in the 'dungeon' searching for whatever item you were hired to find. So with each post you roll a D6 for movement. Whatever you get add with your movement stat;

Example:

Kage rolls D6, gets a 5 + his plus 2 movement stat = 7....

So in the end, Kage would be able to travel 70 yards in any direction.

Then say you encounter a BRO (a flan-type of monster) you enter combat.

The Attacker has only the option to attack (duh), and the Defender has 4 options to choose from:

Counter Attack -Counter after you survive the attack.
Defend- Doubles your defense roll.
Surrender- Surrender one item of your choice in order to escape (when figthing other people...won't work on monsters...)
Escape- Add your 2 D6 rolls + your movement stat, if you win you escape successfully, if you lose your defense drops to zero and suffer the full force of an attack

In the next post I'll provide examples for the combat system....

Okay...for this post I'll be providing the info when your character has to rest from fatigue, or when they're searching for their target...

REST

Obviously, as time passes your character will eventually recieve a wound or two from an enemy. And the best way to recover your HP? Rest for a turn....it's the only action you can take during that turn, you cannot move then rest, you can't attack someone then rest, and you can't search then rest....understand?

When you rp that you're gonna rest all you have to do is roll 2 D20's...and the total results will heal your HP...

SEARCH

Obviously your goal is to search for a certain item and return it to your client...so here's the bascis for searching. After you Move, or finish battle, you can search the area for items. All you have to do is declare you're searching around for anything, roll a D20 and whatever your result, will affect what you find.

The mod's can create a list from 1-20 and list what someone finds when they get that number. Once someone gets say, number 3, no one else can get number 3....and so on and so forth. Sometimes the search events can land you into trouble....say if you roll a 14 or a 20 you have to face a BRO....if you get that number a monster will emerge from where ever the DM desires, and thus you have a monster to contend with....enjoy!^^

Of course if you land on the lucky number and get the item you're searching for head back to the waypoint and return back to base. The Mission will end and everyone will return to their appropriate base...
