We would like to remind all graduates that attempting to run away from repaying the astronomically exorbitant student loans is not feasible. We will find you on any plane.

Following the hasty closure of the legitimate Demonic Indentured Servitude Upliftment Initiative, we would like to offer a select few graduates the opportunity to clear all debts through our Artefact Quality Control program.

• You are required to test and document all 300 wands of magic missile assigned to you. Each wand has a happy little quirk which must be discovered and documented. Please note: These wands are considered Academy property. Any damages acquired during the duration of the assignment will be chargeable.
• Dungeon X-BETA-Y02K63 in the material plane has been reviewed to be an adequate testing ground for aspiring Arcane Masters! While clearing the dungeon is not a requirement and graduates are free to do as they wish, please be informed starvation due to loss of funds is not recognised as an extenuating circumstance and unnecessary deaths will result in penalty charges. Adventuring has always been considered a lucrative time honored tradition that is perfectly safe for any capable spellcaster.
• In recognition of your [MILDLY ACCEPTABLE] performance in prior years, you have automatically been enrolled in our cloning program!
• Our welcome package, Carl, awaits your arrival on the material plane with some nifty little life saving supplies.

About:

• This is a lighthearted D&D-lite inspired game set in a generic fantasy setting. It is intended to be closer in style to a forum game rather then a long advanced style RP.
• There is randomness, eldritch mutation and character death. Try not to spend all your clones at once.
• Characters start as Level 1 Human wizards with no spells and no prospects. What you do in the big wide world is down to you.
• In order to level up, loot must be acquired and returned to civilisation. Mechanics will be explained as needed as we progress.

@Mae E

*throws hat into the ring*

@Mae Sheets done boss, I know you said hugh-man but you know me too well at this point that I will stop at nothing to be da kobold

@POOHEAD189 So glad to have you aboard!!

@Dark Cloud So, the world is a very mundane traditional fantasy, to contrast against the whacky hijinks of a bunch of out of touch mages with dodgy magical items. Having everyone start as human was a way of encouraging the world to not initially be horribly suspicious of the players. Also as a brief, fleeting benchmark of normalcy we can reminisce about when things start to go horribly wrong.

That being said I'm happy for you to play a Kobold! and for other players to play traditional fantasy races if it's a core part of what they want to play. I wouldn't recommend orcs, dragonborn and elves. No robots/constructs.

Onto Kobold info:
- People in villages and towns will likely be xenophobic, suspicious or confused by you. Some places may become quite hostile towards you if things go badly.
- No dark vision, but you'll be harder to hit when fighting creatures larger then humans
- Kobolds feel at home in dungeons. You get better at finding and removing traps as you level up.
- You can move quieter then the average human and you have improved senses of hearing and smell.
- You can only wear armour that fits smaller creatures. At level 1 you can only wear robes or leather. Wearing heavier armour then this will exhaust you.
- You're easier to kill then a human or dwarf. Be careful on the front line of combat.
- Your pyromania assists you when throwing grenades or doing anything involving fire.

This should be balanced, we'll see how it plays out :D

>Set clones to 5
>Accepted! Add sheet to the CS tab

@Mae Don't forget we Kobold be expendable xD

Me am lazy, argh will try to post cs in section

@Dark Cloud Tempted to open up the IC. Since characters shall be teleporting in and this is forum game style it shouldn't cause issues

@Mae I'd at least give our boy POO a moment to get a sheet up, but I don't see why not.

If ya'll will have me, I'd like to hop into this too!

>My name is Marcus Tiddlewink. I am 35 years old.
>I look like I got roughed up the night before, every day. The only part of me that is well kept is my long, flowing golden locks that I keep tightly braided and reaching down to the middle of my back. On my face I usually sport a couple of bruises and a short, scruffy beard. My overall build is short and stout but if you call me a teapot I'll wring ya out!
>I am a master of throwing down
>At the Academy I majored in Animal Husbandry
>My favourite extracurricular activity was losing fist fights behind the school.
>I have 0 gold.
>I have 0 clones.
>My goals are... beat that no good, posh son-of-a-goose Jarred O'Hare and ruin him.
>Inventory:
>Robes

@rocketrobie2 It's morbin time?

@Dark Cloud It's Morbin time.

@rocketrobie2 yissssss welcome aboard! Set your clones to 5.
As Marcus is used to getting beat up and throwing down he'll be more robust then the average graduate.
Your animal husbandry skills assist you when interacting with or taming animals. You will be considered more favourably when interacting with people in the trade.

Now, I assume Jarred O'Hare is a fellow graduate, or is he a peasant/noble/necromancer overlord of infamy/ect?

Accepted! Add to the CS tab.

@Dark Cloud@POOHEAD189 As me and POO are in separate timezones I'm going to rev up the IC. It shouldn't get too far along I think. If I'm not online when you submit your CS feel free to jump in and if there's anything that needs changing we can adjust it later~

@MaeSweet thanks! I was imagining Jarred as a fellow student but feel free to go ham with it if you want!

@Mae So do we start soon?

@rocketrobie2@Dark Cloud@POOHEAD189 IC is up :D Tried not to cram too much in at once, but your character would have received a brief introduction, so let me know of you need anymore information!

Jared as a fellow mage offers some pretty fun options. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

@Mae Also I added a pic to my sheet. :D

@Dark Cloud oh no, Wik is adorable ;_;

@Mae Wik is Wik smoof skin
