I'm sure most of you can remember this topic. I'm going to write what I wrote for the original topic to start it off.

This is one of the games that gives the player almost as much freedom as the creator. You participate in an RPG story brought to life by me, controlling an entire cast of characters in RPG-style battles. Of course, how you fight will pertain to the type of story you create. For instance, if you create a story where you're part of the Mafia or something like that, clearly you won't be able to use magic, and if you're in a medieval story, you won't use machine guns, unless you're in a world where both magic and technology can exist. You make your story about anything you want, set in the real world or a fantasy world. It can be about an alien invasion, a quest set in a fantasy world, a possible future, a spy story, an adventure somewhere in the world, a story where you play a criminal, just about anything. I'll write you into it and allow you to play it as you go along.

Your story will contain a series of chapters, each containing a different scenario. For instance, let's say your story is about being a cop. The first chapter could be about a shakedown in a nightclub where you find the guy you're after, but he gets shot down and you must make a daring escape to avoid getting shot to death. The second chapter could be you looking for clues about the murderer, and these clues lead you to an Oriental massage parlor where you search for the killer. And who knows where the story can go from there?

Here's the setup:

Your Story: Here you tell me the plot and setting of your story. Tell me everything you think I should know to get your story started. It has to be an original idea, though. If you can't think of anything, let me know and I'll give you an idea and see if you're OK with it.

Your Character: The main character who you will mostly play. Tell me all the basic information about the character that I should know. Tell me the character's name, age, and gender, for starters. Tell me all about their personality, their history, what they look like, etc., so I can get a picture in my mind of who your characters is, what he/she looks like, and how the character would behave in different points of the story. Even if I think of the story, you think of the character. Remember, only original ideas.

Other Characters: This is where you tell me about other important characters in your story. Most importantly, your adversary in this story, but also any friends or enemies in this story. Be as descriptive as you were with your main character.

Title: Lastly, you'll need a title for your story. If you'd rather have me think of one, then you have that option as well.

You can either bring back your old story or start a new one. Have fun playing my game.

I think he means repost our old description.

Plot: This tale takes place in a parallel universe of Earth. Magic exsists, swords are used, and so are guns (plus some other things too, like space travel and missles and all that cool stuff.) A rumor has been spread about a control point somewhere in the universe called Point Eden. Whoever controls Point Eden becomes a God and can control the entire earth. People everywhere are searching for Point Eden, or clues of how to get to it. Right now they say somebody on Earth knows where that location is.

Character: Tsurabasa is the main character for this tale. He is born into a poor family that roams the world as a family of nomads. With no money to buy a space ship and search for Point Eden, they decide to muster up clues on Earth. During the process, a violent ruler also looking for Point Eden killed all of Tsurabasa's family for them getting in the way. The only survivor left was young Tsurabasa himself, a mere child at the age of 4. He is taken in by a group of soldiers working for Noremac, but he doesn't know that he is the killer of his parents, and Noremac doesn't know that he killed his parent's. He is raised by Noremac until the age of 16 or so, then he is put into Noremac's army. My character wears a small brown and silver robe, and carries a staff that glows and changes colors as his emotions do, this staff also has a small 9mm handgun inside. He is skilled in stealth, theivery, magic, and he has very good aim with his throwing knifes. (He always carries around a 30 pack of throwing knives.) He has silvery white hair, and dark skin. He also has a scar across his left eye. He got it when Noremac killed his parents and he had to get that eye replaced. His artifical eye is now very very clear but it has a slight red tint to it, making him look rather scary. His other eye is brown. He only listens to orders from Noremac, whom he calls "father", and his newly found friend Tiran. He rarely speaks and expresses no emotion towards anything, even killing. He is known as "The Ghost" to many. His class is Mage/Assasin

Other Characters:

Noremac: The murderer of Tsurabasa's entire family, he rules his army with an iron fist. He is searching for Point Eden and will do anything to obtain it. He is a strong man who always wears a mask and outfit to cover his whole body from being seen. He rarely speaks.

Tiran: A friend that Tsurabasa meets in Noremac's army. He was also taken in by Noremac but at a slightly older age. He is about 19, and he plans on escaping the military soon, and would like Tsurabasa to come with him. In a way, they feel as if they are related, but look nothing alike. He is skilled in magic and does not like to use guns, but rather swords. He is slightly tall and has light skin and hazel eyes. He is a Mage/Warrior

Title: Yasa's Story - Before Dawn

SIDE NOTES:

In this RPG guns act as they would in real life, almost always rendering a 1 shot kill. However, there are "cybernetic armors" which greatly greatly greatly reduce the damage of gun shots. There are also melee combat weapons such as knives and spears, and space travel is possible. There is no real "good" or "evil", just a lot of armies fighting to find Point Eden. It's a confusing RPG i dont know what i'm thinking as i make it, if you have any questions just like ask me.

Copy... paste...

Story: (hehe I was too lazy to make a story for Bobbo myself... well now I can make you help me ) Bobbo is a 17-year old male, as everyone in this forum probably knows by now. He's living in the distant future, where space travel is about as easy as walking down the hall. Imagine a Star Wars-esque universe, only much vaster and with better technology. He's training to become a bounty hunter, and is also very interested in a new religion recently rediscovered; Magic. According to the tomes of old, people used to able to use Magic, whether Black or White, and this greatly intrigues Bobbo. Nowadays, many can use magic, but there are few truly destined for greatness. Bobbo likes to use dual blasters for weapons, but has also been training with weapons of old. According to legend, the secret to becoming all-powerful with Magic lies on the sacred planet of Kulon; any technology beyond medeival times there vanishes within 3 hours unless it's completely locked down and unusable. Thus, Bobbo wishes to journey there, and become all-powerful.

Character: Bobbo knows a little bit about the Magic religion, and hopes to find his Inner Self -- and become all powerful -- on Kulon. He's more interested in Black than White, although he's currently equally proficient with both. As most people here know, he's blonde with blue eyes, and... well, not many other features.
He's a lady's man, and basically justs wants to learn more. By the way, this is a younger version of my battlefield self; while he's still 17, Bobbo learns the secret to eternal youth, and he stays looking 17 basically forever.

Other Characters:

Syvva: A nice young girl that Bobbo fell in love with at age 12, Syvva loves Bobbo, and Bobbo loves her, so it's a very good relationship. Bobbo plans on taking her to Kulon, as she is also interested in Magic, although more the White Arts with her. She is 17, like Bobbo.

Grani: A joking young man who's constantly harrased about his name, Grani is Bobbo's best friend, and Bobbo will try to take him as well. He is 18 years old, and although he doesn't know as much as Bobbo about magic, he's still studying a little bit... and he's a devil with a sword.

Raphael: An evil young man, this boy has been Bobbo's rival ever since they first laid eyes on that fateful day 10 years ago... ever since, they've always been at each others throats. Knowing Raph, Bobbo is sure he'll follow, or stow away on Bobbo's ship, or some such...

Heh... I see you read my Anarchy PM... you can change my story a bit since its kinda limited, but be sure it leads to the same important events.

::copy and paste as well::

Your Story: It is the year 2130 AD. Dr. John Magneise has been a well respected scientist in his earlier days until the goverment was crushed and now the country is ruled by General Henry. Henry seeks to destroy the experiments John Magneise owns so he does not have a chance to overthrow the government. Before Henry has the chance, John uses his newest creation: the time portal and ends up being transported to a different time zone.

Your Character:
Dr. John Magneise
Age: 67
Sex: Male
Appearance: Grey hair on his head, wears a lab coat and conceals a magnum and vials that can be used as weapons.
Personality/Bio: Is patient and kind. Anger may get to him every little often, but most of the time he's too busy thinking about solutions to the problems he encounters. He has served in the Military in his younger days before Henry became the dictator, and he is still as alert, cautious, and focused as he was in his younger days.

Other Characters:
General Henry- The dictator of the goverment currently. He lives in the Black Citadel, a huge military base to carry out his plans of defeating Magneise.
Rob Deton- The co-founder of Excells Corp, the laboratory which Magneise keeps all his experiments inside.

Title: Anarchy

And one note also, the world currently is quite a wasteland. The world (2130 AD) mostly consists of a dark like dirt which covers most of the planet, with hardly any trees, and many abandoned towns containing mostly old abandoned buildings. There are only a few lawful towns but even those contain old dilapidated buildings that can't be repaired due to the low amount of resources.

I actually got some elements about the past of this place, so don't start them yet... it'll make the storyline fit in a little better. I'll PM those to you sometime tomorrow, and I'll tell you when I pmed them.

Here's the old one, I still like it.

Story: A farming teenager, at only 13 years old, discovers an ancient black ring while digging a grave for his father, who recently passed away. Not telling anyone, he slips the ring on. An image of a bare room, with only a white pedestal and a gray ring, comes into his mind, as well as a voice stating: "MORTAL, YE ART PROPHECIED AND CURSED. THIS BE THY REDEMPTION." That is all he knows, along with two more things: one, the ring won't come off, and two, after putting it on, bad things start to happen, both to him and in the world. Wars break out, and he can't get a break. So, one day he packs up his belongings and sets out, tripping on his way out the door, to remove the curse and fulfill the prophecy-- which he knows nothing about. (it's a swords-and-sorcery)

Main Character: The thirteen-year-old male Alikar. He has no armor, wearing only a brown-and-green normal outfit-- tunic, breeches, boots, and cap. His only weapons are a rusty short sword that lay in the back of his attic in case of emergency and a poorly made shortbow along with 20 arrows. He carries no shield. He is quiet and reserved, and cleverer than anyone knows-- including himself. He is practical, dutiful, and responsible, but right now he is confused and looking for an answer, though he's not sure of the question. All he wants is the damn ring off his finger. He has little history to tell, beyond what was in the story. He lived on his father's farm for 13 years. Then his father died, he found the ring, and after a while he decided to leave his mother and siblings to see if he could rid himself of the curse.
Other Characters:
--Nyval, Alikar's friend; twelve, male; sneaky little bastard; interested in thievery; wears a dark cloak at all times; carries daggers and light crossbow; likes Lirena; journeys with Alikar.
--Lirena, Alikar's friend; thirteen, female; interested in all magic, white and black; wears blue and red robe; carries mysterious gray staff and slingshot; constantly fends off Nyval; journeys with Alikar.
--Fainor; Alikar's enemy; fifteen, male; practices combination of black magic and melee combat; wears dark red leather armor and clothes; carries well-made longsword, rod, shortbow, and small steel shield; bullies Alikar and his friends around; not as smart as he thinks he is; accidentally forced into journeying with Alikar.

Um, I guess the rest will come in as the story progresses, I don't have any more made up right now.

Title: Prophecy of Chaos

If ya want the old topic, it's on page 7.

Your story: In the land of Atrano, the young Prince Leon of the Baran Kingdom ran away in search of a new, unpressured life. On the night he escaped, he ran into a mysterious sorceror who said he could grant his wishes of living a new life in a new land. Leon was hesitant, and without saying anything, the sorceror, with a wave of his rod, cast a spell to transport him into a land unknown.
When Leon woke up, he found himself in a small village hut with a couple of kids. Unlike Leon, they seemed to be "street kids" and had only cheap clothes and robes on. They all took him in as one of them and decided to help him find his home at Baran. However, they never knew about him being a prince, nor the trouble it would get them into...

Your Character: Leon Aranto- the 14 year old Prince of Baran. He wears a blue garment with pants to match and wears a feathered green beret. He has brown hair, black eyes, light skin, and is about 5'3". He carries a longbow painted light blue and has a quiver that can hold up to 30 arrows. He also has a regular sword by his side if the need arises. He has basic knowledge of white magic, but his training is incomplete, so he tends not to use it too much. He is a charming young man and tries to help people as much as possible. He's a bit secretive at times, but only about things like his royal status, or at least to his new friends. He's very loyal and has potential to become an excellent ruler for Baron.

Other Characters:
Elana- one of the four kids who found Leon, she tends to be a shy girl most of the time. She's very nice, and tends to be the one with the most common sense out of the five. She wears green robes and carries a wooden staff everywhere she goes. She is skillful in basic elemental magic, and especially at water, her favorite. She is about Leon's height and age, and has blue eyes and light brown hair.
Solaris- another of the four kids, he is only 12 and about 5'0". He seems alright on the outside, but inside he tries to cope with his problems. His parents both died while he was a baby, and the only reason he survived was a young man, Cecil, who took him in. When he was 10, he too died, and stayed with the gang as a hope of survival. He has two scars on his slightly tanned face, black eyes, and black hair. He wears a red tunic and carries two knives, one on each side. He also has a crush on Elana that seems to be well kept inside of him. He's trustworthy, but sometimes his anger gets control of him.
Rune- another of (guess), he's always keeping it cool. He's the tactician of the group, and makes most of the plans for anything they decide to do. Rune is not his real name, but he never knew his real name, so people called him Rune for his skill in black magic. He wears dark blue robes and has a basic rod at his side. He's always calm, a tad sarcastic at times though, usually when it's a bad time. He's also probably the smartest of the group. He's 15 years old, 5'5", and he has hazel eyes and brown, almost blonde hair.
Rosa- last one, I promise, of the kids who found Leon. She's the typical sweet-until-you-piss-her-off type of girl, and she's got quite a reputation for when she's annoyed. She wears regular clothes and carries a longsword with her everywhere. She's 13 years old, 5'3", and has long blonde hair in a ponytail. She enjoys singing, and because of her secret crush on Leon, writes the occasional unreleased love song. As long as you don't piss her off, she can be a valuable ally, for she's talented with the song and can sometimes divert or convert male opponents, if you know what I mean...

Supporting Characters:
Zalan- Leon's younger brother at Baran. He looks up to Leon as if he were his whole world, and would want him back as soon as possible. He cares for him so much that he eventually sets out on his own to look for him, armed only with a small sword, a short bow and a few arrows, and pure determination. He's 8 years old, sneaky yet trustworthy to his friends, and quick-thinking.
Argon- Leon's rival from Baran. He hears of Zaran's plan to find Leon and joins him, making Zaran think that he wants to help him, while he has other plans in mind. He's 13 years old, witty, and extremely intelligent.
Sorceror- that sorceror from before may play a big part in this story...

Title: Destiny's Calling

That's it for now.

I'm going to give this page the occasional bump, since I use it for reference whenever I write stories.

Well, there's not actually too much about before my story, just that Henry has harvested most of the resources on the planet and has kept them at his bases. So, you can expand on this much more if you have ideas.

And I'll start my story now.

i was gonna make one up but i don't feel like it now so here's my old one

Plot: A king of a large empire has just died. His only heir is a baby. The main advisor to the king, has decided he wants to take charge, so he hires some thieves to fake a kidnapping and leave the child on the streets. Now, with no heir, he is free to take charge. He rules rather unjustly, and mostly just lives a life of pleasure while his people fight amongst themselves and other lands. Meanwhile the young prince is taken in by elves and brought up by them. On his 12th birthday, he discovers that he is the prince of the kingdom he was taken from as a child. Decided he wants to take it back, he has to find away to get back into power.

Character- Tiran, a young boy of 12, he has been brought up by the elves. Taught some basic knowledge of swordsplay, magic, thievery(picking locks, finding and disarming traps, moving silently, hiding in shadows) he has decided to leave the elves, and travel to his old home, with two of his friends. Tiran is about 4'8, 95lbs. He has brown hair, green eyes. His clothes are a light green, he carries a large dagger, about the size of a short sword to him. Although he can be mischevious sometimes, he has a good heart, liking to help people when he can.

Other Characters
Ella- a childhood friend of Tiran, she is about 13 in human terms, although being an elf, she is actually a lot older. She is kind, and shy, and has a crush on Tiran, although he doesn't really know. She has some knowledge of healing spells, and has a knack for archery too.

Beyaiden- Ella's older brother, he didn't want her travelling alone, so decided to accompany the two of them. Around 23 in human terms, he is an elven warrior, and a master of the longbow and longsword. Beyaiden is the one who taught Tiran how to fight and the thievery he knows. Kind, he is a little overprotective of his little sister.

Gradin- The advisor who took the throne, although Tiran doesn't know him well, he is the main bad guy. Gradin has no idea if Tiran is still alive. A tall man, he isn't much of a warrior, although he does know some magic, and he is the king so he has a lot of troops to command. Gradin is 48 years old. Gradin is a rather selfish person.

I'm going to do your version and I got the message, but I just need you to put me there. Now, describe the battle to me the best you can, so that I can work with it, maybe add to it. Tell me what weapons and machines are being used, that sort of thing.

Alright.

Description Of The World:
The world is covered in mostly thick, poor, dirt. Most towns are destroyed and abandoned, from many demonstations Henry showed the citizens if they decided to oppose him. There are still cities out there, but most of them consist of gangs of people that have to travel in groups, and fight others to survive since there is no law enforcement.
There are a few underground cities though that are the safest cities in the world, although they still can be destroyed very easily if found.
Only one part is of the planet is there nature; it's a very dense forest that only spans about 5 miles on all sides, which is referred as The Oasis.
The Black Citadel, Henry's base is the home of his entire army. It is equipped with all sorts of lasers, turrents, and bomb launchers.

Alright, I'll just edit this and explain a few other of the locations and then the lab fight when I get the time, gtg for now.
