Open RPG-Character Hub

Sup, I thought I'd try my hand at an RPG formula once more.

The characters are part of a group of adventurers in a vaguely medieval fantasy world, and the plot will shape as you complete quests. Once you've created your character, you'll start out as a Journeyman and can choose from a few custom abilities. Then, you can choose from a few quests(the more difficulty they are, they higher the reward). After three or so succesful quests, you'll get to pick from different character classes I'll add on the fly depending on the quests you've picked and stats you've upgraded.

Here's the sheet of basic info you need to fill in:

Name:
Age:
Outfit:
Weapon:
Skin Colour:
Hair Colour:
Eye Colour:
Three Personality Traits:
Background:

Your starting equipment is partially based on this:

Weapon: Worn *whatever you filled in at Weapon*(+1 Power)
Body: Common *whatever you filled in at Outfit*(+1 Tougness)
Head: None
Feet: Leather Boots(+1 Reflex)
Accesoire: None

Combat simply happens in turns, and at the start you can choose to do a physical attack, a willpower-reducing attack, defend or flee. You'll announce your action, the dice will be rolled and I'll counts up the numbers. You can get a default bonus of +1 or even +2 on your rolls if your descriptions are particularly vivid. Once you gain more abilities, you can use those too, and later on you'll also be able to also use items, summon midara you've conquered(conquering happens by defeating them by depleting their Willpower), and use Despair attacks(comes with different criteria per class, mostly stemming from Willpower or Stamina below a certain threshold). Losing simply means you'll loses some coins and not gain the quest reward. On succesful completion of a quest, you'll get the reward and experience, recover and can shop for items in the hub village. Here are the basic stats(all dice roll are with a six-sided die):

Stamina: this counts as both a pool of HP for physical attacks and a resource for abilities that exhaust the body.
Willpower: this counts as both a pool of HP for lust attacks and a resource for abilities that exhaust the mind.
Power: this determines the strength of attacks that do damage.
Sensuality: this determines the strength of attacks that drain willpower.
Toughness: this determines the damage reduction on succesful physical attacks.
Focus: this determines the damage reduction on succesful willpower-draining attacks.
Aim: this determines whether an attack hits or not(succesful hit=your Aim+dice roll>target's Reflex+dice roll)
Reflex: this determines whether an attacks hits or not(succesful dodge=your Reflex+dice roll>target's Aim+dice roll)
Recovery: this determines whether you recover from an Ailment(your Recovery+dice roll>Ailment number)

Now, customize your character.

Journeyman: Fresh-faced adventurers eager to make their mark upon the world.

Nimble-passive-
If you roll a 5 or higher on the dice roll for Reflex, you gain a +1 bonus to your next total Reflex score.

Temper-passive-
If you suffer Stamina damage, you'll gain a +2 bonus to the total Power score of your next attack.

Tackle-action-costs 2 Stamina
Your attack has the chance to Wind the target(Ailment 6, can't take action the next turn other than defend or use items) on an Aim roll of 4 or higher.

Sharpen Sight-action-costs 2 Willpower
You observe the movements of the opponent carefully, giving you a +2 bonus to your total Aim score on your next two turns!

====================

Quests will be run in separate threads(also allow for multiple quests running at the same time if people disappear for a few days), after which you can upgrade your character, talk and shop in this hub thread.

Goes to village shop to upgrade weaponry

"You have 100 coins, what do you want to purchase?" the shopkeeper asks.

"Whatever pair of brass knuckles you've got that's better than these" Kalin responds

(Dammit forget to add that beforehand)

"I'm afraid the only pair I have for now are a bit out of your price range, sir. Perhaps saving up a bit might help?" the shopkeeper suggests.

"Fine then. I'll come back later" he says. Kalin leaves the shop and decides to take the hunter quest

(You can also pick another level 1 Journeyman ability-or skip that point and pick two abilities once reaching level 3 and unlocking the level 3 abilities)

I'll add the Temper ability then

Going to the village shop

"What do you want to purchase?" the store owner asks.

"Mmm i'll take the Hunter's cap" says Logan giving the money to the owner

You now have 25 gold left and are now equipped with the Hunter's Cap. Pick an ability from the lv. 1 pool or save it for the level 3 moves, and pick the next quest you want to participate in.

In that case i'll get the Tackle skill, and i'll take the Pervy Preacher quest

Do you want to do a Dynamic Entry(eg, drop in on the ongoing quest), or start anew? If you want to start anew, I will have to finish the current version of the quest first. It's handier for me if battles happen in larger groups(and the odds are kinda against the person taking the Quest now, so it would even things up), but it's your(and his) choice.

If he doesn't mind i'll join if he prefer to finish it alone i'll wait until he finish

(He's okay with it, you'll join on this turn but can't act until the next turn)

(Ok)

(you can take action now, in case you haven't checked yet)
