I have to go into work (yep on a Saturday) so a response from me is going to be delayed. I will try to get to this post after work and before I spend my evening at ye olde bar. There are quite the amount of people I need to have Mario respond to.

Now to clarify what characters you can and cannot have. If it wasn't a video game before it became a movie, show, etc. then the franchise is not allowed in this game. I wrote this in the OOC OP if you read it. Pokemon was a game before it became a show just in case someone was wondering.

As for the speed, I see no problem with it so far. But if I see a trend of the same people posting over and over and none of the other writers in the event have had a chance to respond, then I will start denying XP.

As for foul language, I obviously do not care for foul language surrounds me every day. It is almost a culture in my job. It shouldn't get ridiculous. You shouldn't be cursing every syllable of damn speech. Having said this, I hope I answered everyone's questions and off to work I go.

@Holy Soldier
Character Name: Rum the Enlightened.

Title: The accident prone.

Kingdom: Wazhack team? ((They have no company name, so I guess this will do?))

Visual Description:

The nature of magic, life, love, and the universe...I know none of these yet, but I will...I will.

Written Description: Standing at 5 foot, 7 inches, not including his hat, Rum looks to be that of a older man. However his skin lacks the defining wrinkles of age, and his hair seems unnaturally colored grey to the trained eye. His robes are that as seen in his picture, ornate, along with his hat. His hair, along with his facial hair, is extremely soft, almost unnaturally so. His eyes have a slight underlying glow, betraying his magical nature.

Personality: Rum is gentle, caring, and curious. He can be at time, rambunctious, and excitable like someone far younger than he is, but this stems from his internal want to discover, and learn. He has an addictive personality, and he knows it, so he strives to avoid booze, or drugs. He even takes medical supplies with caution, worried that he'd become hooked, and dependent on the stuff, paranoid about his vulnerability to such things. He also has fears about women, a encounter in the Dungeon having changed his outlook for life, causing him to eye women with terror, and paranoia.

Game: Wazhack.

Current Story: Wazhack is a game where the story is bare bones. An adventurer heads into a dungeon, seeking the Amulet of Zaw, and the random events of the game shape the story. Rum went into the dungeon, but returned without the amulet, and was deemed a coward. What he saw in the dungeon, no one knows. That is how Rum avoided a horrible fate, he was scared, and scarred, by the dungeon, and his cowardice kept him alive.

Weapon(s): A wooden staff of +0, and a Quill and Ink, but nothing to write on.
A wand of magic missile, with 30 charges.
((Magic missile is a spell in wazhack, that acts differently than in most games. It's a bolt of magic that shoots though targets, no matter their strength, but it might simply pass though without doing to much damage. It bounces off of walls, meaning it could hit the caster as well. These blasts do minimal damage.))

General Abilities

Slot One.

Special Abilities

Slot One.
Familiar: Rum has a tabby cat following him. It is easily able to maul creatures like goblins, and kobolds, small weak humanoid creatures even when they are armed with clubs, and swords. However, something larger, like a Bugbear, can easily dispatch them. This should note the weaknesses of such creatures, rather than the strength of the bugbear. The tabby cat can also sniff out malignant magical enchantments, warning Rum if they are cursed. (This needs to be in the General Abilities section and not Special Abilities. Please be sure to re-read the difference between General Abilities and Special Abilities so that I know you know the difference. I'm really big on people reading my game thoroughly to understanding rather than skimming. If I suspect you are skimming through the details, then I won't let you in because those people constantly misunderstand things and create issues.)

Items

Slot One. Staff of +0
Slot Two. Inkwell and quill
Slot Three. Wand of magic missile. This area needs to be empty. You should only change the things I tell you to change. If you change anything else, then you are more than likely putting it in the wrong area and delaying the approval process.]
Strengths
Master of many spells: Rum is able to cast most spells, should he be able to read the spell book they are found in. This ranges from the simple magic missile to complex rites necromancers use to resurrect the dead as undead servants. Language barriers, and getting these books will be his main barrier between learning every spell there is, and only those in English.

Scribe: Rum is, with enough time, able to copy down spells onto scrolls. This costs him paper, and ink, of course. These scrolls can be used by anyone, no matter their intelligence or other such factors, however, unless told by Rum, or another wizard, one most likely will have no way of knowing what a spell does, until they use the scroll.
He can also create new copies of spell books, via rewriting them into blank books. This takes hours to do, however.

Wazhack Biology: Rum can leap, and run rather well, having near infinite stamina, as long as he has food to go along with it. He doesn't NEED to sleep, but doing so heals him. He also seems to be fine without water, as hunger is his only concern when it comes to bodily maintenance.

Arcanist: Rum is able to easily read most spell books from his dimension, and learn how to cast spells form said books with only a few minutes of reading for the first time, and then a few moments to refresh his memory later.

Weaknesses
Fast Metabolism: Rum needs constant food, lest he rapidly starve, a trope among many games of this sort. For example, he can, after a night's rest, go though an entire pie for break fast, and nearly a dozen full meals, lest he begin to grow hungry, and if not doing so for the next day, will begin to starve, his body wilting like a dying flower as it digests itself, desperately trying to keep him alive.

Weak: Rum's not able to lift, or carry much, before he starts to become encumbered. When encumbered, when he does move, time moves twice as fast, despite it only going at its normal pace for him, leading enemies to act like the flash, moving insanely fast to him. He becomes encumbered carrying more than 60 lbs of gear.

Frail: Rum is a wizard. They don't wear any armor, lest it interfere with their spell casting, and render them useless. As such, Rum risks being easily attacked, and killed.

Memorization: While able to learn from most any spell book, if Rum does not study his books daily, he will loose his magic abilities. However, he need a few seconds to do so, so this will most likely come into play with their destruction, rather than time problems.

Achievements

@supertinyking

I made my comments. I have one last question. Magic Missile. I believe that you are trying to use it as a default for the wand? Like, the wand just naturally uses that as a default attack. Otherwise, if not, then you'll have to put Magic Missile in General Abilities and ditch the cat until your character levels up. But just let me know.

All right guys; I'm about to head to work in a few minutes, but I want to make comments about the fight so far. There are several of you who are referring to characters through description rather than name. I want to make sure that all readers know who you are specifically referring to. So if you are ever going to use a sentence, such as, "the man in blue jeans," then you need to put the mention tag directly next to that descriptor so that person knows who you are talking about. It also makes my life easier when I have to let you know who took a hit. I don't want to have to assume who I think you were referring to. Because I don't want people to worry about XP, I will give you the results at the end.

In a real mission, you will know the hit/miss/XP gains when I return the actions as the GM. I will post the results every counter post. However, since this is just a silly and fun way to introduce everyone to the fighting mechanics and XP system (for the first time) that's all it really is. So at the end, if I say your character took a hit, more than likely from splash damage, then don't get upset. It really is not the end of the world. I am thoroughly reading these so the results at the end of this event are going to reflect what I came up with. I may have to end the event first, and then post the results after in an edit so that people aren't still posting while I am calculating everything.

@Chaotic ChaoDoomguy is on reserve and I'm waiting for a CS for him whenever that happens. If I don't get one by the end of this month, then he'll be free again. I think I have a reserve policy. Nope; I didn't use it in this game and it seems like I need to. Until then though, there are thousands of other character ideas out there to choose from. I don't see why when one player mentions playing someone that five other people want to play that character and can't think of anyone else. There are so many other options.

Project Crossover [Video Game Crossover RP]

XP EVENT STARTS NOW!

Objectives

• Practice text combat with a good old-fashioned food fight.
• Every successful hit on another character is 2 XP.
• Have fun!

Synopsis

Mario has started a food fight. The banquet is about to get really messy as not only will prides be dirtied but good quality food is going to go everywhere! Remember the rules of combat. Every move is an attempt and you must give the person you attempted to attack a chance to respond.

Rules

1. Word Count. Word Count now applies. Just remember, if you write a post for the sake of writing one and it serves absolutely no purpose but to act as a XP farm, then the GM will take back your XP. So please do not abuse this system. Just write as you normally would.
2. Combat. If the players can’t determine if the attack is a hit or miss, then the GM will. Basically, if you can’t think of a logical way to avoid the attack, then your character will take the hit. If there is a wall behind your character because you last wrote them standing by one, and someone throws food at him or her, and your response is to back-flip…I’m going to wonder if your character just back-flipped into a wall. See what I mean by logic?
3. RP Etiquette. IF YOU POST DIRECTLY TO SOMEONE, THEN YOU MUST LET THAT PERSON RESPOND. I do not care if someone comes up to your character to attack him or her, while your character was engaged in fighting someone else. You wait for the first person you attacked to respond. Then in your next post, you can post responding to both individuals. Too easy.
4. Calculation. While you are free to keep track of the XP your character collects, the GM will dish out the total XP points at the end of the event. That way if your calculations are off, then you know how much XP you should have and THEN you can add it to your XP bar.
5. Eating. Eating the food thrown at you does not count as a hit!

Project Crossover [Video Game Crossover RP]

Level: 1
Day/Time: Day One; Evening
Location: Forest of Illusion to Tetris Castle Reception Hall.
Tag: @Lmpkio Mention: Everyone Else

Mushroom Kingdom
Forest of Illusion

The trees in the forest were its most noticeable characteristic. They grew tall to towering heights, their fresh leafy branches blotting out the crisp blue sky. Was it day? Was it night? No traveler knew for certain once they had chosen to traverse the treacherous woods. Overhead, riding on a smiling cloud, Lakitu sailed over the treetops like a plane flying low over an ocean of green. The arbors were smiling, which to most first-time visitors to the Mushroom Kingdom found creepy rather than cheerful. There was nothing cheerful about being in a mysterious forest full of feral Wigglers, Galoombas, Winged Koopas, and Chargin’ Chucks that wanted to harm you. Lakitu was on a quest, and as much as he didn’t wish to dive into the depths of illusion, he ducked back inside his cloud as it began to sink like a submarine beneath the boughs.

The forest was dim, but strangely not dark. It must have been pitch-black at night. Lakitu poked his head out of his cloud again and began turning about, looking this way and that, searching for the hero that his letter sensed. The letter was like a radar, the magic it was infused with causing it to tremble the closer he came to a hero and by the looks of it, he was close!

Out of all the letters that he had delivered so far, this was the one hero who he was most familiar with. In a clearing a few yards ahead, Lakitu saw a kneeling figure draped in a brown tattered cloak. His hand was clutching the handle of a massive hammer and his back was rising and falling with what could only be labored breaths. As he closed the distance, the man’s grip on the mallet tensed, and it was only sheer luck that the weapon that had been swung around with every intention to knock him from his cloud had missed him. The breeze from the swing blew Lakitu back and with a frightened cry, he dropped the letter on the ground and took off like a rocket back into the sky.

The man’s mouth fell open as he continued to pant. Drops of hot sweat rolled down the sides of his face and dripped from his chin. His barreled chest swelled and sank beneath a pair of blue overalls as he tried to calm his rapidly beating heart. From beneath dark, thick brows, he first peered down at the letter and then up at the tree canopy where the Lakitu had disappeared.

“Well, shit, he was deliverin’ a letter?” he thought aloud to himself. He was used to those creatures trying to lob spiked balls at him. The Forest of Illusion was no walk in the park. It was a dangerous place and so far every creature within it had tried to kill him. Mario had been using it as a training ground. The reason as to why he had vanished was in his muscular physique. Setting down the hammer with a wooden thud, he crouched before the note and picked it up. Eying the seal with zero recognition, he broke the wax and began to read over the summons. Midway through, Mario sighed in exasperation and bowed his head.

“I was really hopin’ that I was finally done with adventurin’,” he grumbled. Wiping away some salty sweat and dirt that nearly rolled into his eyes, he stood and stared for a few seconds at the two responses: “Yes” or “No.”

Glancing at his current surroundings, he silently contemplated if he still wanted to be here. The adventure was tempting and who knows, there might be some more princesses to save? The corner of his mouth quirked at the thought and with his index finger, he touched the answer: “Yes.”

…………...................................................................................

Platform Kingdom
Tetris Castle

The cloaked warrior crossed the threshold of the warp elevator to come before the intoxicating odors that filled the grand space with its delectable heat. Garment still concealing his appearance, Mario’s chest expanded with a deep and appreciative breathd. His lips curled pleasantly and his hands clenched into excited fists.

Aaah~! he exhaled. His blue eyes opened with a feral glimmer as drool welled in his mouth.

I forgot that castles not only mean princess babes, but feasts! How long has it been since I started this crummy diet? he wondered, his teeth clenched into a wide and shameless grin. This is probably a once in a life time opportunity (doubt it). I can cheat this once. Oh man, I’m goin’ in!

The cloaked figure ran with hasty excitement over to the table and without grabbing a plate or eating utensils, he dove right in much like the tongue-creature @Hylozoist. He grabbed a turkey leg and tore it from its base before cramming it between his jaws. His teeth sank into the brown, crispy meat and skin as he turned his head to tear it right from the bone. His other hand had grabbed a roll that he dragged through a bed of mashed potatoes and gravy and attempted to stuff it into his mouth along with the still, partially digested turkey. With both cheeks packed round and full of food, it only took a moment before it struck the back of his throat. Mario’s gag-reflex immediately kicked in. The food was stuck!

A fist went to his mouth as he bent over, choking while trying not to send missiles of sticky food flying every which way. His eyes watered, and as he bent over hammering a fist against his chest, he happened to notice a familiar armored heroine in the room.

Shit, Samus is here? It was then that Mario noticed that not only the bounty hunter was in the castle, but other characters—some from video game lands he had never heard of…they were weird-looking. But besides them, he couldn’t be seen looking so weak in front of the space babe Smash rival. He was a man after all!

With tears in his eyes, Mario grasped the table and with one big gulp! managed to get the food down. He panted as though he had just ran a marathon, hanging his head in relief. And here I thought the Forest of Illusion was gonna be my grave. What an embarrassing way for a legendary hero to go. And he had just signed up for this business!

Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, Mario continued to eye Samus until a fox-like smile stretched on his face. He couldn’t believe that she was still hiding beneath all of that metal. Why, he remembered the first day they met. They had met in the first Smash Arena and he had thought she was a man. Boy was he wrong (and he was so happy to be wrong!) There was a serious babe beneath all of that metal, and it was about time someone showed her how to relax and let the hair down every once and awhile.

Hmm… His blue eyes rolled down to the banquet table to the casserole of hot potatoes. She was going to hate him. Grinning mischievously, Mario grasped a spoon and scooped out a big wad of the potatoes. Grasping it like a snowball, he patted it into a sphere within his hands before he cranked it back.

Back to my major league days!

“Hey, Samus!” he called, hoping to get her to turn around—turn around right into it!

Mario lobbed the potato ball right for the back of her head; however, if his trickery worked, then she would turn into the potato ball as expected. Potato balls tended to splatter so anyone in her vicinity could risk getting splashed by flying starch.
