[hr][Center]This is a role play inspired by [i]Re:Monster[/i] and [i]Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken[/i]. When your soul finds itself in the body of something not human, how will you strive to live? Carve out a peaceful life, destroy the world, or surpass God? The choice, is yours. Welcome to [b][color=ed145b][i]From Goblins To Gods[/i][/color][/b]![/Center][hr] [Center][img]https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ah7msFO0Bs/VovEzwzUqUI/AAAAAAAABbI/-ENi-B8bpDI/s1600/Remonstervol7.jpg[/img][/Center] [Center][b][color=ed1c24]Announcements[/color][/b] [u][i]We currently have three (3) participants and slots are still open for anyone who wants to join. The RP will start within a day or two.[/i][/u][/Center] [hr]Once, you were a human. Maybe you were a salary man, or a kid on a skateboard, or a third-grade english teacher. Doesn't really matter though, you're dead now. As quickly as your soul is placed into darkness, it is pulled back out. Quite uncomfortable, I can imagine. Light and sounds accelerate, and your eyes crack open for the first time, in a new body. Congratulations, you're a Goblin. Born in a small, remote tribe in a forested island, lacking any knowledge of your geography, you are thrust into the world. While only a newborn, the instinct and basic abilities of your kind are ingrained into you. How to communicate, how to hunt, what you must do to survive, as well as inherent information to your new world. This is your life, this is your mind. The memories of your previous life, your previous world, they exist but merely as a hazy dream with the conclusion forgotten. With time, sufficient experience and growth will open the option for you to evolve from a goblin to a different branch of monster, but this will depend on your own ability. Just one thing sets this new batch of Goblin juveniles, your clan, apart from the rest. A single facet of their souls, a single "skill" retained from their past life that they do not even know they had. Perhaps an affinity for a rare kind of magic, perhaps a propensity to lead, perhaps the knowledge of a language they don't recall learning. Will this mistake in the cycle of reincarnation lend them the power to break past their limits, or will they simply fall like wild beasts to the onslaught of the world? Welcome to the game, and do make it entertaining. [b][color=ed145b]Character Sheet[/color][/b] [Hider=Preview][b][color=ed145b]Name:[/color][/b] Well? No last names though, because you aren't special yet. [b][color=ed145b]Gender:[/color][/b] Male or Female [b][color=ed145b]Appearance:[/color][/b] You're a green-skinned, four foot tall, ugly piece of work. As such, this section is optional, but if you want to mention some distinguishing factors, feel free. I won't demand a properly full description though. Also, I don't usually say this, but I'd rather you don't put an image, considering everything. Don't worry though, with Evolutions, your appearance can drastically change. [b][color=ed145b]Personality:[/color][/b] Describe how your character thinks, acts, and feels. Don't skimp on this. [b][color=ed145b]Past Life History:[/color][/b] This isn't that important, compared to how important it usually is, but you still need to fill this up. Considering that the memory of this will be hazy, "growth" that occurred during your past life won't be present, hence why you're largely a blank slate with some human-ness left. If you had a traumatic experience and became afraid of the dark, you won't have that trauma here. If you were born afraid of the dark, though, then you will. As such, the only real reason this section exists is for flavor, and to justify your Gift. Keep it brief. [b][color=ed145b]Level:[/color][/b] 1 [b][color=ed145b]Talent:[/color][/b]You get one. These abilities you were born with, as a result of your past life. If you were an English teacher, maybe you innately know the human language somehow, despite not knowing what a human is. If you were a creepy occultist, maybe you have a rare magic affinity. Maybe you were a professional fighter, so you'd be naturally be physically gifted or skilled in combat. Just be reasonable, and don't pick anything that makes you broken from the start. [b][color=ed145b]Skills:[/color][/b] Techniques and abilities that you will gain throughout the story. [LIST] [*][i][u][color=ed145b]Night Vision[/color][/u][/i] - Allows one to see more effectively at night and in the darkness. [*][i][u][color=ed145b]Absorption[/color][/u][/i] - A monster specific skill. This skill allows monsters to gain the skill(s) of the creatures they devour. The amount of skills gained in this process is limited to a 6 time usage. Choose your stolen abilities wisely. Uses will reset to 6 upon Ranking Up regardless of the amount you have used.

[b](Remaining Uses: 6)[/b][/LIST] [b]Inventory: [/b][/code][/Hider][hr][b][color=ed145b]Rank Up System[/color][/b][Hider][i][b]Levels[/b][/i] - A rough gauge for the strength of an individual of that race or job. Level is increased by learning new skills, defeating stronger enemies, or even simple tasks like creating or disassembling tools. The fastest and most sure method to leveling up is defeating enemies who are more powerful than you or at your appropriate level. Every monster knows his or her own level, but cannot gauge an enemy's level immediately without a proper skill. This is important for those who wish to keep their level hidden. The max level is 100 for an individual species which, upon being reached, allows for them to "Rank Up" into another strong species. [i][b]Rank Up/Evolving[/b][/i] - Monsters like Goblins, Imps, Orcs, etc, etc. all have the option of advancing into a new species. The species being evolved into depends on the criteria that an individual meets and certain evolutions are only available if certain requirements are met. Upon Ranking Up it is common for monsters to gain access to powerful abilities they previously hadn't been able to use. This is especially true for Variants or specialist evolutions. [b]Common Examples[/b] [List][*]Level 100 Goblin ---> Level 1 Hobgoblin [*]Level 100 Imp ---> Level 1 Demon[/List] [b]Uncommon Examples[/b] [List][*]Level 100 Goblin ---> Level 1 Hobgoblin Variant [*]Level 100 Imp ---> Level 1 Demon Variant[/List] In the case of these uncommon examples, the Goblin had the talents for Magecraft and Strength along with the skills "Swift Swimming" and "Extreme Lung Capacity". This caused the Goblin to evolve into a Hobgoblin Variant with blue skin and the "Water Magic" talent. This may or may not lead to this Hobgoblin to evolve into the race "Half-Spell Lord Variant" with a more specialized aptitude in Water Magic. While Variants tend to be rarer and more powerful, becoming a regular Hobgoblin would not hinder one's growth. Some could say that not choosing a specialization may even make one more powerful in the long run because they would have more choices for their Rank Up as they level up. It is also important to note that some species do not have the ability to continue evolving. These species tend to make the monster more closely related to humans and instead gain the ability to make use of the "Job System". This is a system that only humans use and is considered inferior when it comes to overall potential, but many believe it to be stronger when in the hands of an evolved monster. The Job System will be explained when the information is come across in the RP or if someone decides to take this route and has reached their maximum evolution.[/Hider][hr]
