Ultimate Power

Ultimate Power has been reborn! I’ve changed it a bit to make it better. Also, keep in mind that in order to play you have to resign up. You can’t copy and paste either, as the character process has been twinked. Sub-classes are not going to be included for several reasons.

The world is in a flurry of battles and espionage. Archaeologists and mages have found ancient sites with incredible powers locked inside, and now they have figured out how to break ancient seals guarding these powers. Great nations exploit these wondrous findings, and use them for their own purposes. However, there are rumors…Rumors of other sites containing unspeakable powers, and great beings that guard these ancient places. Hungry for power: every major nation, republic, and league on the planet are looking for the fabled sites, and secure the other ones through whatever means (be it force or espionage). You are out to help your mother-country gain ultimate power. Create one or two characters.

Bio: (I tend myself to write 3 sentences bios, but I want an informative bio so I can have a background. No bio, no character(s))

Strength: (Affects how much damage you do, hit points, and chances of success on strength requiring task i.e. Trying to move a small boulder blocking your path.)

Toughness: (Affects how much damage you take, and hit points)

Intelligence: (Affects how much damage magical moves do, mp, magic attack power, and chances of success requiring thinking or magical skills i.e. See how an extremely simple booby trap works)

Will Power: (Affects how much damage you take from magical moves, mp, magic defense, and chances of success against temptations)

Dexterity: (Affects accuracy, parrying speed, attack speed, and quick hand motions i.e. Grab a nearby rope as the ground you're standing on disappears)

Agility: (Affects dodge rate, attack speed, and running i.e. Run away from a trap about to go off)

Abilities
Everyone loves making there own unique character right? There are things called skills, which affect battle and out of battle situations. Each class starts out with one, but in addition you get one extra. Also, each class has specialized skills that can be acquired later in the game.

Warrior: Battle Cry (alerts allies of enemy presence, increases party attack stats)

Archer: Projectile-A (Allows you to use any type of projectile involved with arrows making a longbow man capable of using a cross bow he finds on the ground)

Apprentice: Meditate (Recovers some mp and increases casters spell effects by 50% in battle)

Healer: Herb (Knows about basic herbs and how to use them to heal oneself)

Pickpocket: Crime-1 (Pick-pocketing, lying persuasively, disappear in crowd)

Choose one of these skills in addition to your free class related one.

Act-1: (You can act a bit, and seem a little different than you really are. This leads up to skills, which will allow you to pretend to be someone else)
Battle Cry: (alerts allies of enemy presence, increases party attack stats)
Blush (female only): (Makes chance of male attacking 80% (otherwise they'll just defend) and will lead up to other abilities)
Charge: (Charge right into the foe doing heavy damage. Can only be done on your opponent during the first turn. Also, expect to take some damage too.)
Crime-1 (First package of criminal skills. Pick-pocketing, lying persuasively, disappear in crowd)
Familiar-1: (Allows one to know basic things about animals, and allows weak familiars to aid you)
Herb: (Knows about basic herbs and how to use them to heal oneself)
Riding: (Allows character to ride horses which increase stats in battle (mounted attack> over regular charge)
Lucky: (Adds numbers on die rolls randomly, and allows one to gamble)
Meditate: (Recovers some mp and increases casters spell effects by 50% in battle)
Nobility: (Allows one to know the elaborate procedures of talking to nobility (creates good impression on nobility))
Projectile-A (Allows you to use any type of projectile involved with arrow)
Projectile-B (Allows you to throw throwing projectiles and slings)
Street-Wise: (Allows one to talk to street urchins with their slang, find black-markets, and other things related to the unlawful side of life)

Move Lists
Create 5 (7 if apprentice) moves whether they are combat or non-combat skills. These will cost mp, and should not have specific numbers. I WILL decide how much damage they do and such. Unless you're a healer your move may not heal more than 10 hp.
Ex.
Piercing Stance: My warrior Darwin gets prepared to go through armor for the next turn and do more damage
Sacred Swipe: Darwin attacks with a holy elemental enhancement and heals himself a little.
Those would be converted to….
Piercing Stance (15mp): Next turn, when Darwin attacks the enemy's strongest armor defense will be ignored.
Sacred Swipe (5mp): Does +10 damage to demonic enemies and +3 to everyone else. Also heals Darwin by 3 hp

Ask me if you have any questions, as this might be a little messed up from repeated editing. You can create more special moves later in the games, or buy generic moves so don't worry about the lowered amount of moves (only 1 less move, but you never know)

NOOOOO!!! I CAN'T USE COPY AN PASTE!!! Wait, I was never in this.

I will most likely join, because you look as if you are good with stories and such, and the plot looks good.

Also, for my sanity I'm not allowing making more than 2 characters. I'll be glad to make some to accompany you, but I really don't want to have to do it right at the start. Remember my policy on two characters from different nation still stands. You may do it, but the second character HAS to defect first.

ill join later...or after that
