I can't think of a name for this RP: Information

I am thinking of starting an RP
wait don't close the window just yet plz

I've seen and participated in four different RPs so far, and have learned some things.
If I'm going to start an RP it needs to have:

-Leadership. I'd be running the thing, so this would be me.
I'm on TC all the time. In this way I'm an ideal candidate for the position...
I'd have to provide motivation for the characters' actions and have stuff for everyone to do at all times, besides playing as any number of NPCs as is required.
[tao]I can do it![/tao]
I wouldn't be playing as any "main characters" though. Always a sidekick, never the lead... one day, I will aspire to greatness I swear it on all four of my heart chambers

I was going to try incentives but I have been advised by Rozencrutz that this is a bad idea and I think he could be right so for now there aren't any.

But before I start it I need to know a few things.
-Hey does anyone actually want to do it
-Where should it be set? I can come up with a completely new world as needed (I already have. CURSE YOU OVERACTIVE MIND) or use an existing one.
-What style? Survival, adventure, action, one with mostly talking? (Please do not request the last option)
(Okay dialogue is very important but I do not want to have only dialogue)
-Should stats be used and if so, how much stats?
None - Like Jesus Knee's RP
Minimal - Like the P4 or Pokemon RPs
Lots - Like Epic Duels

I'll provide more information once I get more details worked out based on input from peoples and also once there is a level of interest built up

Oh yeah...
I don't want to draw attention away from the other RPs. If this is a bad time I'll wait till later.

It's not set in stone, but here's what I've set up so far:

-Objective:
EVERYTHINGS GOIN TO HELL
Quickly adapt and survive in unfamiliar environments while searching for answers as to what is happening.

-Players:
Unless someone requests otherwise, players would be humans in the near future, in a small town on the edge of the world. They could be pretty much anyone in terms of age, job, whatever.

-Players' Stats:
I'd like to try these so I could tell what players' odds of success are.
They'd be something like this:

Physical: 50%
(Strength: 25%)
(Dexterity: 25%)
Mental: 50%
(Logic: 25%)
(Knowledge: 25%)

No HP or MP or nothin. Health would be semi-realistic, where if you are shot in the head, you die, etc.

Not sure how strict I should be about this. Should death be rare or common, and how hard would it be to heal/ressurect? Either way, if you'd like to join or want a new character, you could join in whatever area players are at.

Note: There's no magic here, but it isn't hard to learn if you can find it, and it costs nothing and can be used endlessly.

That's what I got so far. Got the world planned out too but you don't need to know about that yet.

HOW TO MAKE A CHARACTER

THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE AT

You're living in the near future during a time of peace. Most everything is controlled by computers and manual labor is typically handled by automatons.

Right now, you're in the small port town of Suva. It's a popular town for travelers to stop at and there's a large academy there where parents frequently send their kids, though people of all ages go there to study.

CHARACTER INFORMATION YOU NEED

-Name

-Stats
(You have 20 points and four categories. Try not to have 2 or less in more than one category.)
Physical stats
Strength: Physical power and stamina.
Dexterity: Run speed, reflexes, and the senses.
Mental stats
Intelligence: Street smarts. Lets you solve problems and figure things out.
Knowledge: Book smarts. Lets you learn quickly and remember more stuff.

-Age

-Profession

-Appearance
(It helps to be able to visualize everybody)

Also I am considering using the "zero" system from...another RPG to aid in my decision making process when things happen
How about that?

And let's not forget, if anyone does anything anywhere, expect a response from me within five seconds because I am crazy

I'll start it if there are three participants, but if that number ever falls below three, the whole thing gets put on hold.

Thats gud I start once 2 more peoples are ready

Feel free to start with whatever equipment you can carry, but list it if you can. Doin this semi-realistic. And don't forget your Strengths is lower than the average (which is 5).

Name
Killua Gon
-Stats
Physical stats
Strength: 8
Dexterity: 4
Mental stats
Intelligence: 4
Knowledge: 4

-Age
22
-Profession
Mercenary
-Appearance
A tall man in a dark greenish look with a long black jacket that goes down to his shins. He has an Italian mustache and most of the time he looks like he's ready for a fight. He carries a large sword with him almost everywhere he goes. As he travels alone, he wears a large black cloak on him to conceal himself.

Yeah no one else is gonna join.

I knew that'd happen but even so, it makes me really sad. I was all ready to actually go through with it.

My only question is what did I do wrong? The Shadow Town got set up and started running very quickly, so there must be something about this one that makes people not want to do it.
What could it be? Is it the stats thing? Is the first post just too confusing? Do I just suck?

Well I'm going to give up NO
I ALWAYS give up
I'm going to NOT give up HAHA
SUCK ON THAT, LIFE

Okay NOW I'm going to give up

...almost

My final, ultimate plan is to just start running the thing with only two people.

If you're up for it, people who've signed up, then I'll start.

I would be okay if killing tool was more active >.<

I see

I will mention it to him if possible

This whole situation has me really mad
Why does no one care bout this
I don't care if people think it sucks but I CAN'T EVEN TELL BECAUSE I KNOW NOTHING
THERE IS NO RESPONSE

I am a fool for making this in the first place

I'll join up. But you have to give me a little time to think up a character.

okay

let me know if you need more information

Well actaully...

What exactly will the intelligence stats do for you in game?

Is there going to be some kind of class system in this RP?

Whats the setting?

That should be it for now.

I'm not 100% clear on how these will work yet, but here's basically what I have:

Logic lets you figure stuff out and adapt quickly to different environments.
If you want to have a lot of different skills, this will help you as well.

Knowledge lets you learn and master more things.
It's the best skill for specialists like engineers, and it's the best stat for magic users.

To be more clear- if your character attempts something, I'll be using your stats to see whether it actually works or not.

Warachia wrote:Is there going to be some kind of class system in this RP?

no
If you want to learn how to do something, study it and there you go

Warachia wrote:Whats the setting?

I'll go ahead and post it in the stage.

Alright cool, I'll probably have a character soon.

does that mean we can posties?

yes

but I'm gonna start slow so Warachia will have time to make a character

okay I changed my character look

okay I put it in your profile in the character thrad
