OOC: How do the abilities work?

 

[DudeForChrist]

My Character...

Name:Axel
Age:15
Race:Human
Class:Gunner
Abilities:Cheap Shot, Trigger Happy, Use Guns
Bio: A teenager of Shalon who is finally old enough to explore outside of his birthplace... He was raised by his Uncle Clyde, who taught him the ways of a sharpshooter. Axel, because of his training with his uncle, wields two identical pistols, and has knowledge of the special abilities of the Gunner, passed down from generation to generation.

 

[DudeForChrist]

OOC: How do the abilities work?

I tell you what your abilities do by PM, and you can use your starting abilities every 3 turns, unless they're auto-abilities or magic, like use Guns or Heal. Abilities such as Cheap Shot cannot be used twice in a row.
This game is sort of a story/Final Fantasy RPG.

OOC: Okay, does that clear up a few things?

 

[Kelly]

hmm, can their be multiclass characters?

 

[DudeForChrist]

hmm, can their be multiclass characters?

Actually i was thinking of that yesterday. and to answer your question, I've decided that Humans and Halflings may dual-class, but only when they reach level 25. Once you are learning another classes abilities, the learning on your previous class is "put on hold." Okay?

 

[DudeForChrist]

OOC: Part of how to play

There are turns in battle, but the rest of it works as a sort of story, like in a book. There won't be HP, because it'll be like real life, so if an enemy lands a blow on you that would normally kill you despite armor, and you aren't protected by magic, then you are KO'd, until someone revives you, magic or otherwise. OK?

Shar looked over his elixirs and components one last time. He had taken a sample of everything his master owned, placed them carefully into vials and pouches and set them into his small travelling component case.

He sighed as he closed the case and locked it. Glancing around the small room that had been the center of his studies in the Red Magic arts for more than 5 years of his life. On the walls were all sorts of trophies from his master's time as a young adventurer. The young dragon's head was always Shar's favorite. His master had told at least three different stories on how the dragon was defeated, Shar smiled as he thought of this but it really didn't matter. There was a dragon's head on the wall, that was enough. Those were different times. The world seemed less wild now, would there still be opporunity for fame, fortune and further knowledge in magic?

The sun shone through the skylight of the small tower. Shar looked over to the wall where his master had taken down of his halberds. It was a basic model, his master's first, but it was a good weapon. Newly sharpened and polished, it was more for show than combat. Physical confrontation is a last resort for wizards.

A little poof of flame popped out of a lamp on the table. It walked on tiny feet of flame over to Shar and gestured wildly "Master, it's time to go!" the little elemental said, it's voice sounded like a crackling campire.

"Cute" Shar thought. His Master was always goofing around with controlling flame. Shar inhaled and blew sharply at the little flame and it popped out of existance.

OOC: If there is still room to play here is my bio:

Name: Ueyion
Age:23
Race:Halfling
Class: Thief
Abilities: Daggers, Lock pick, steal
Bio: Ueyion is a pupil of a well known ranger. He hopes for a similiar life to that of his mentor. Ueyion is small in stature, but really speaks his mind. His thievery has kept bread on his own table and also on the table of some of the poorer folks in the small town. He lives in a small cabin at the edge of some forest, suitable for his tracking and hunting.

 

[DudeForChrist]

Ping!!!

"Nice shot," said Uncle Clyde. Axel looked at where the glass bottle target had been. "I guess I'm getting better. But one pistol gets boring after a while," Axel hinted. "Okay then, let's start learning now, it's not too hard. You just take your guns like this and, Bang Bang Bang!!! Like that. Now you try." Axel readied his Desert Eagles.

 

[Flames]

The mighty creature moved gallantly through the trees. He was the prized possesion of the forest. The morning sun peered over the hills and the only sound was that of a snorting nature. Ueyion had tracked the animal for many months, drawing up pattern maps to its traveled locations. For the last 2 days and nights, Ueyion sat silently in one of the patterned positions in hopes to see this mammoth creature. Ueyion had positioned himself in a ball and wore camoflauged garbs resembling the likes of the forest floor. The woods had long drowned out the smell of halfling and now was virtually untraceable. Another snort from the prized creature, this one louder than before. The beast was coming closer. Still Ueyion had refused to look up to see the prey because of fear that he would scare it off. 'Many meals have fallen to these two daggers he thought... why use a bow or gun when you can be this close too your enemy without him seeing you...' The creature walked even closer.. It stood hovering over Ueyion. Its breath stenched the same molecules of air as those that Ueyion breathed.

"Ueyion.....UUUUEEEYYYIIIOOONNN!!!! Leave that little doe alone and come here. I have some news for you." Ueyion's mentor stood about 50 yards away with a large grin on his face.
The dumbfounded deer quickly galloped away in tall strides as if in bittered victory. Ueyion looked up in great disgust. He had failed again to kill, let alone see, the large prize that haunted these woods. After two days of camping out, all he had to show for it is a little doe that galloped away... The prize was still yet to be won, and someday, he hoped to apprehend it.
******
"Master, have you laid your eyes upon the beast of these woods?"
The mentor looked over to the frustrated halfling and laughingly said "Seen it.... Have I seen it?? I've rode the wild son of a gun.. The beast sure will give you a run for your money though.." Ueyion smiled and the two retreated back to the cabin..

Shar picked up has component case and placed it into his backpack. Hefting the halberd in his other hand he walked out of the tower. Once outside he looked up to the domed tower roof, to the study that had been his home for a good portion of his life.

He turned and walked out past the garden to the dusty street. He could hear gun shots in the distance. "That must be Axel and his Uncle practicing again" he thought, since there hadn't been anything even resembling conflict in this area for some time. Some thought that magic was a dying art now that technology put such powerful weapons in the hands of the common man. Shar's master promised that technology was, in a sense, another form of magic, one that had to be respected and controlled just as carefully as the arcane arts. In the hands of the unskilled or uncaring, it could be dangerously uncontrollable. Something about mana. All things are created with, and use, mana. If mana is abused, drawn out from the world forcefully through technology, or untrained magic, disaster can result.

"I'll stick with my spells" Shar reassured himself as he walked down the road towards Axel's house.

 

[DudeForChrist]

Axel stretched, pulling himself out of bed, the morning sun shining through his window. He thought about the things his uncle had taught him, about the family skill which he called 'Trigger Happy' an ability that seemed to use up only magic and not bullets. Axel had also been honing his skill, Cheap Shot, which he had discovered on his own. It used a bullet, but it seemed, because of Magic, to penetrate any defense.
*************************
Later that day, Axel was practicing with blanks, when he heard a cry from the forest. "HELP!!!" That sounds like Uncle Clyde, Axel thought. Hurrying, he ran into the woods, away from the safety of the village. Soon he saw a wild beast--a fiend--trying to get his uncle, who had climbed a tree for safety. Axel loaded his gun with real bullets, preparing himself. What i wouldn't give for someone to help me, Axel mentally pleaded. Even a theif would be welcome.

[Kelly]

"Help!"

Shar heard the cry for help coming from the woods outside of Axel's farmhouse. Shar ran to see what was happening when he saw the wolf threatening Axel's Uncle Clyde.

Shar reacted quickly. He conjured a ball of fire in his palm and launched a flame spell at the snarling wolf.

 

[Flames]

Ueyion had just stepped inside the cabin door when a voice carried itself by the winds "Help"...

Ueyion glanced up to his mentor who simply nodded his head and Uyeion darted out the door and through the woods. His full sprint wasn't halted by limbs, briar patches, and logs because these woods were like his home. He dodged and leaped with precision and forceful speed. A loud gunshot was heard that echoed off the walls of each tree in the forest. The shot caused Ueyion to slightly change direction and swing in from the back of the prey. The giant wolf stood there threatening two familiar faces from town.

Ueyion crept in behind the wolf with his daggers ready. A tree was all the seperated him from the wolf. Ueyion ran by and stabbed the wolf with his daggers and continued the run to end up standing by shar and axel.

 

[DudeForChrist]

Giant Wolf:

HP:10
*Giant Wolf casts Thick Fur, raising it's defense up high!!!

"That...could be a problem. With that high a defense, normal attacks won't pierce it." Axel thought for a second. "Oh, i know!!! I can use MY special ability, Cheap Shot!!!! It can pierce through most things!!!"

*A green aura surrounds Axel.
