- Alright I'm going to try this again, I realize that my last attempt at making a Phantasy Star game went without proper explanation of things, so I'm going to try it now with my "2nd eddition" Phantasy Star Rule system, that will hopefully make more sence.

Alright this game will start on Ragoll but it will extend outward, don't worry I'll manage it... anyway... all we need now are players to begin submitting characters

Alright so here's the sheet i need you to fill out to become a character:

Here's a Character sheet if you want to fill it out on paper, too

Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Eye Color:
Hair Color:
Outfit Color:
Class*:
Race**:
Gender:
Starting Weapon: (Club, Saber, or Handgun)
Meseta (money): 500 is starting cash
Mag Color:
Now Split 900 Points between:
STR:

EVP:

Take the first two digits of your MIND to get your TP, and I'll figure your HP based on class
HP:

And That's it! (remember that androids have no TP or HP)

*Forces- Magic / Hunters- Stabbing/ Rangers - Shooting
** Newearls - Cat-Elf Folk = More Magic less STR
** Humans - More STR = less Magic
** Androids - NO Magic = Tons of STR
- It should also be noted that it isn't possible to be a Force and an Android

-------Rules for Beginners--------

Alright, this game is balanced between three classes and three races: There are hunters who lead the pack and hack and slash with lightsabers and huge swords, then there are rangers who tend to hold the enemies back from a distance, then there are forces who specialize in not only healing and improving everyones abilities but also casting powerfull spells of destruction too.

Weapons:

Hunters can use:
Swords
Double Sabers
Sabers
Handguns
Machineguns
Partisans
Daggers
Frames
Armor
Barriers
Heavy Sheilds

Rangers can use:
Shotguns
Double Sabers
Sabers
Handguns
Machineguns
Partisans
Rifles
Frames
Armor
Barriers
Heavy Sheilds

Forces can use:
Wands
Double Sabers
Sabers
Handguns
Machineguns
Clubs
Polearms
Frames
Barriers

All Three can also use Unique items and mags, but all items, including rare items will fall under the above categories though they may have differint names.

Armor: Frames are like light armor and Barriers are like light Sheilds, just so you know, Some armors can have SLOTS on them, in these slots you can put special booster items like "GOD/BATTLE" that will increase your reaction times and speed on the battlefeild

It should also be noted that Weapons and armor not only increase your strenghte but they also increase other stats as well, like defense, magic, etc...

MAGS

Mags are items which each person starts with
A Mags level is just as important as a person's level
In order to gain higher stats without leveling up,
one must feed their mag.

To feed a mag you must use one of your health items
like monomate, dimate, trimate, star atomizors, moon atomizors, trifluids, difluids, and monofluids.

Mags have differint taits, so try a differint healing item for a differint desired effect.

Androids don't need the MIND scores on their mags put up as they don't have any MIND power.

Mags Evoulve and Gain Special Abilities called Photon Blasts that Aid you In Combat When they Reach a "Limit Break" like in final fantasy, or a Capcom Fighting game. You get hit/hit your oponents enough and the bar charges up to do a "PB"

Certain Mags do Certain PBs, and some mags are rare, just like some weapons can be rare.

The Mags have 4 Stats to fill when they are "fed" healing items.

DEF:
INT:
STR:
DEX:

These stats will directly affect your stats too, for every mag stat point there is one or two points for you.

THE MAGS WILL TELL YOU WHEN THEY ARE HUNGRY! Do not attempt feeding mags when they are not hungry.

Combat and stats

Combat isn't turn based, infact it's rather first come first attack, monsters really dominate unless you're stronger than them, EVP determines how well you can dodge attacks, DEF determines how much damage you're going to take when you get hit, HP is the limit of your damage in all, it's your health bar. TP is your Magical Energy (not applicable for androids though) STR determines how hard you hit them while DEX determines how accuratley. All Stats max at 1999 though this number is nearly impossible to obtain. Some race/class combinations will get higher points than others.

The World

The world is split up into Stations, Space Stations that is, which orbit the planet Ragol, the main station is the PIONEER 2, which came to ragoll in an attempt at colonizing the planet, well let's just say some things went awry with Pioneer 1 and they also tried to act as a bit of a rescue mission, well their attempts, though futile, are still recorded in the history books should you want to read them. Each station is set up like so:

There is a health items shop, a weapons shop, an armor/equipable items shop, a Bank, A Medical Center, A Warp gate, a computer linkup, and an observation deck (where Telepipes appear)

The Shops: You buy stuff at the shops for Money which you'll find on ragoll called "MESETA" or just "M"

The Medical Center: If you die on ragoll you can either wait to be revived by a magical spell, a moon atomizor, or just warp directly to the center, every time you die, however, your weapon and your collected mesta is dropped, allowing other players to pick them up if they desire

The Bank: This little place holds tons of items Any items you want held, infact...

Communications Center: Not really important, you can use these terminals to gain more information on anything you want via the informationmegawarpway (or BEE for short) you can also check E-mail and stuff

The Warp gate: This will usually take you to either more gates, or a place of authority, some areas have 2 gates, one leading to the boss, one leading to the planet.

The Observation deck: This is a place that gives you a nice view of the city/space and it's also where all telepipes appear. For more information on telepipes see below:

Items
Outside of weapons,
PSO is accompany to many strange items

In your inventory you can hold a maximum of 30 of each of these items.

OH and androids can't use fluids... but they can hold them

Here's a list of items and what they do.


Monomate: Heals 50 Points of HP
Dimate: Healts 200 Points
Trimate: Full Heal no matter what
Star Atomizor: Fully Heals Your Party
Moon Atomizor: Revives a fallen Comrade
Sol Atomizor: Cures harmfull effects
Antiparalysis: Cures Paralysis
AntiVenom: Cures poison
Monofluid: Refills 50 poitns of TP
DiFluid: Refills 200 TP
Trifluid: Refills all TP
Telepipe: Creates a portal binding the location on the planet with the observation deck, it can be traveled through by all players until the creator returns via the pipe.
Materials: STR, DEX, EVP, INT, HP, TP Devices that booste the state PERMANENTLY by 2 points. Can only be used once. They are fairly rare to find.
Technique Disks: Used to learn Spells (see below)

All these items can be bought at the store on deck

Special Effects
Getting Poisoned: Only happens to non-androids, Will occur when struck by an oponent that gives poison or venom
Getting Electrocuted: only happens to androids when struck by lightening or electrical magic
Paralysis: Only happens to non-androids, will keep you from being able to attack or use items

To Cure These Ailments:

Use anti-paralysis to cure paralysis,
use anti-venom to cure poisoning,
or use a Sol atomizor which can cure both
The Spell "ANTI" can also be cast to cure them.

Magical Spells (Techniques)
To get techniques you must learn them via disk
Disks are commonly dropped on Ragol
To use a disk you must be of the proper level in magic, once you develop the skill it stays forever, heres a list of Magical spells (oh and all spells use up TP) :

Foie: A fireball

GiFoie: A circle of Fire

RaFoie: Nukes the oponent

Zonde: A bolt of lightening

GiZonde: A bolt that hits multiple oponents

RaZonde: A ring of lightening

Barta: A stream of ice that can hit things in a line

GiBarta: A freezing wave spell

RaBarta: A circle of freezing death

Grants: Strikes oponent with holy light beams

Megid: Causes instant death to oponent

Reverser: Revives a downed comrade by turning back time

Jellen: Weakens oponents defense

Zalure: Weapons oponents Strenghte

Anti: Cures poisoning and negative effects

Resta: Heals Party

Shifta: Increases Party's STR and DEX temporarily

Deband: Increases Party's DEF and EVP temporarily

These spells all go up to level 30, FOR FORCES ONLY, hunters and rangers only get these spells up to 15, unless you're female then they can go up to 20.

Revive can't go up but one level, anti only has 7 levels, and those are the only exceptions, all spells increase as the level gets higher. A spell and its level are normally listed as: Grants1 or Megid30 as examples


A Note to beginners: Your mag is just a MAG level 5 to Defense from the begining and nothing more. You can find more mags later and even raise multiple mags if you like, but for now you just have a jellybean-shaped mag with a little yellow eye

For the Photon Blast Bar: Everytiem you are knocked down or get hit by a monster's critical roll, OR you give a critical hit to the monster or knock them down, you must fill in one section of that bar, once it's fully filled, your mag is ready to do the photon blast you only will get photon blasts when your mag levels up to 18, it then will evoulve into what the DM describes and will give you a rolled PB. Some PBs do have better effects than others you know, PBs are perscribed to mags by the DM every 18-30 levels until they have acheived level 200. Remember that your STR, DEX, MIND and DEF are all determined by your mags so feed them items that help certain aspects, for example, monomates give mags STR, and Monofluids give mags MIND. It's all up to you to take care of your mags, and you can only feed them 3 times per round, and you can't feed them again until every player has posted at least once.

I'll give this a shot, hows this look? Im prolly missing quite a bit, but this is what I could glean from the rules.

Hope I got this right [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wow a grey RaMar and a red HuMar... an interesting team so far... Your guys HPs are 18 (ranger) and 20 (hunter) by the way [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's been a good 3 months since the disaster...

You still can remember the screams over the radios being tuned into by all of the people of the pioneer stations as they first made radio contact, speaking freely thousands of voices chiming in, and all at once, thousands of voices went silent... A huge shockwave rocked the planet Ragol, and it fell deathly silent, all activity was at a standstill. The Military kept sending down men, and none came back up, it was only the most daring, willing to go freelance, who made it anywhere... These are the stories of those freelancers, refered to as "Hunters, Rangers, and Forces" The Creme of the Crop of Androids, Humans, and Neitypes the universe had ever seen, and their trials and tribulations that went into colonizing worlds which were deemed fit for civilization.

Enter Thalali:

A young man, clad in a blood red body suit, with thick armor around his shoulders and a medium plate over his arm, he stepped out of his hotel room and looked out at the horizon. It was black, thick with smog and skyless save for a few distant stars and the lights of other buildings and billboards. The air-streets weren't busy, an occasional hovercar would zip by making a loud noise but nothing too grand. Thalali knew that today was the day that people from his prefacture would be eligable to sign up for the hunters guild. Leaving his small apartment behind him, the door closed automatically while making a smoothe swishing sound, a teleporter toward the main catwalk lay before him... he hesitated for a moment... was he truley ready to go on with this? Was he willing to risk his life, and everything he knew, to investigate the happenings of Ragol and gain riches of information, experience, and treasure, the likes of which his immagination could barley fathom, or would he lose more than he had ever thought in the process... Now was the time for him to decide. The threshold between nowhere and somewhere lay before him, and it was his choice to proceed or not...

"Talin Shield..."

"could you repeat that again for the computers?"

"My name is Talin Shield! Don't you forget it!"

"alright sir we've got your rangers liscense right here, you have the right to bear small firearms, I assume you have been supplied with your handgun? Good, now here, take this small device. Doctor montague has ordered that no one leave the station without one."

A Jelly-bean like device slid out of the scantly clad desk-clerks hand and into the grey-dressed ranger. His armor thick, surrounding the back of his head and kneck to protect form projectiles, everything but his knees and down encased in rugged armor, with a small barrier on his right hand, and now this weird jellybean thingy. It opened a small metalic yellow lens, and stared at him for a bit, it gave a playfull sqeek and buzzed around his head.

"Whoah what is this thing?"

"This sir is a mag..."

"A what?"

"A mag... It's a tiny creatue that aids you in the feilds of combat, this one comes prefabricated with a level 5 booste to your defenses, it's not much, but it can grow and change by assimilating food you feed it. Why, feeding it just 3 more things should get it to change into something else which can aid you further."

"I don't get it? So is it a pet? or a weapon?"

"Something like both, though I recomend you use your gun for fighting and save the mag for 'special occasions' you'll eventually figure it out later... right now I'm assuming you're ready and raring to get down to the planet's surface, eh?"

She blinked her blue eyes, her reflective blonde hair flowing down past her... err RIGHT remember not to stare...

She eyed Talin a bit oddly and then gave a deep sigh, used to that sort of thing by now, just part of the guild clerk's job... Aaanyway...

Talin turned his head to the left and saw a gigantic window, beyond it the planet ragol, fairly Earth-like in appearance, with a few continents spread about and far-off isolated islands, it seemed like a vast area for exploration, too visible was a large crater, where the pioneer 1 had landed. The pioneer 2 had been forced into an orbit now... beside the window was a teleporter which could take him to some social lobbies and his apartment, beyond it, the main catwalk, which was busy with hunters, rangers, and forces, frollicking to and fro, purchasing items, laying down telepipes, going to the bank, and steppng through a large set of doors which lead to the great teleportation unit, capable of sending any number of people to any place, miles away fromt he ship, including down to the planet, basically anywhere where a pod was assembled and ready for use...

Talin's heart was a flutter with exitement... he'd almost forgotten the Clerk's cold stare...

"HEY WAKE UP DAYDREAMER!"

"oh uh sorry!"

"there's a long line ya' know! now listen up!" She shouted at him, "You can either head on down to the surface and start exploring or you can sign up for a job with the guild, you're always welcome to come back here, we've got many people who are willing to pay good money to find out just whats up on Ragol right now, though many of them are incapable of going down there themselves, you, however, are able to do such things, and that's why I strongly recomend you do so... Capeesh?"

OOC: can you guess my favorite color> [img]tongue.gif[/img]

IC: Thalali took a deep breath and stepped through the teleporter. This was his chance to make something of himself. He had always been yelled at by his parents for his worthlessness. He was going to prove them wrong and be the greatest hunter ever!

OOC: Can you guess MY favorite color? lol

IC: Glancing at the stange "Mag" buzzing around his head, Talin thought, Man, gonna have to get used to this thing. Although, it does have a good sense of style...
Snapping out of it, Talin sidled up to the beautiful clerk, "Well then, Miss, it is Miss...Right? I guess I had better take your wise suggestion, and sign up for a job. What have you got for me?"

[ 05-13-2003, 07:14 PM: Message edited by: the sauceman ]

Well we've got a job with a lady who says her husband went down and never came back up, she's now looking for him, I suggest you get a traveling companion though before you leave... hoo boy that guy over there's a real hottie... ERR DID I JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD! she blusehd and covered her mouth, suddenly she noticed the man she was speaking off was walking toward her booth, clad in nothing but Blood red... "He's like a walking rose bed!" she muffled quietly to herself...

"excuse me... ma'am? I'm here to sign up with the hunters guild..."

"YOU ARE!? But you'll get your bodaciouse self kil-eRRR I MEAN welcome aboad hunter! HEre take this!"

A saber was planted firmly in his hand, the clerk giggled a bit and then pulled out a small device from her back pocket, unlike the normal grey mag the ranger had been handed, he was given a bright red mag with a glowing green eye, it winked at him and buzzed around his shoulders, chirping...

"This is a mag... You feed it items to make it stronger yada-yada I'm sure you can read the brocure just go on and get out of here both of you! I've got to file my nails!"

Just as the two turned around a short, tubby man seamed to appear out of nowhere, his helmet was so large that is masked his face.

"Greetings Fellow Explorers!" he said almost too positivley, as if ignoring the recent tragety all together. He hummed and as he skipped about, talked to some science officers and then walked out the door toward the main transporter.

He was quite the odd type indeed...

Suddenly both Hunter and Rangers' beepers went off, the answered simultanously, "yes?"

"Greetings sir!" both messages spoke "Welcome to the Hunters guild! We welcome you and your abilities to part of the team of freelance explorers, warriors, and scientists, we strongly recomend you accept this first job and attempt to complete it ASAP. Your first objective is quite simple really, all you need do is teleport down to the planet RAGOL, down there I have planted a beakon, this message comes with a special software allowing you to track it, upon reaching the beakon you'll find me and my Loyal android who will assist you in searching for my lost hubby! Got that? good... Now get on down here!" *click*

The two figures looked at eachother breifly, then turned away, ignoring eachother's presence at first, they then continued to the teleporter.

Two armed guards guarded the portal with menacing force, they raised their weapons at the hunter and ranger.

"EXCUSE US! but you have not been apointed section IDs from the principal yet! it is best you go to visit him before we can allow you down. Anybody can be a hunter, but it takes a special person to be allowed on Ragol! it takes the Principals consent! If you want to get to him he's just through that portal next to the medical center... now go on and enjoy the rest of your shopping unless you plan to ACTUALLY get down to ragol..."

The portal next to the medical center was made up of many glowing rings... beyond it... the pathway to the top of the central tower dome, the home of the greatest minds of Pioneer 2, collectivley entranced in thought, plotting, planning, and organizing all of the happenings of the over-populated Pioneer domed city below, along with all of the other external pilgrim craft which were now riding piggyback... this only caused a greater influx of the population and wasn't making anything better for the housing situation...

The two warriors had yet another choice ahead of them... this was it... were they going to speak to the head of the operation, or chicken out...?

Not at all phased by the clerk's lack of interest, Talin turned to his new partner. "I need to get some medical supplies, and then Im going to the Principal. Im not one to back down from a challenge." Saying that, the young Ranger headed for the medical center, pretty sure that the Hunter would go to see the Principal as well...

OOC: Hey DeathKiller what type of anime do you like to watch? I'm kinda an anime junkie myself [img]tongue.gif[/img]

"I'll go get some medical supplies too," Thalali said,"Just to make sure you don't chicken out." Thalali put a smirk on his face just to show Talin he was just joking.

They entered the store and managed to pool 1000 Mesta between them

The store sold: (ooc: *rolls dice* )

Health Items:

Monomate : 50 Mesta
Dimate : 500 Mesta
Monofluid : 100 Mesta
Difluid : 1000 M

Weapons:

handgun : 156 M
saber : 300 M
Sword : 1500 M

Blacksmith:

Frame : 500 M
Barrier : 700 M

Your Bank Clerk Informs you that You have now joined the guild bank and can trust your items with them ^_^

"I'll Take four monomates please," Thalali told the shop keeper. Thalali turned to Talin "I'll be waiting for you by the teleporter to the pricipal." Thalali turned on his heel and walked out in the direction of the teleporter.

Nodding in reply to Thalali as the hunter left the store, Talin turned back to the store owner. "I'll take six Monomates, thanks." As he gathered his supplies, the young ranger headed for the teleporter to meet up with Thalali. Then, they would go to see the Principal.

Energy washed around the two of them as they felt the sensation of rising into the air. Suddenly the appeared under a gigantic rotating transparent dome, the floor around them was spinning at a slow rate. Everyone inside the rotating structure was stanging about observing their holographic monitors. An elderly man dressed in a peacoc-colored tunic with many medals along his chest sat in the center surrounded by thousands of monitors. "Come Forth, Hunters" he said... The Hunter and Ranger stepped forward.

"as you know it is a usual term to refer to all mercenaries, such as yourselves, as Hunters, even though some of you may be forces and rangers. It's simply easier to keep track of you all that way" he chocked a bit.

A tear was slowly streaking down his face, but he remained stern in his expression.

"What is it you came here for? Do you want your section ID's?"

His other eye was growing watery as well...

________________________________________
OOC:

I've decided to add in the following spells just to add "Flavor" to the game:

Summon Forest Creature, Summon Altered Creature, Summon Machine Creature, Summon Dark Creature

For right now they are FORCE-ONLY spells.

---- Meanwhile... ---

*32 Vectors +32, -24, +87 dogrees of Pioneer 2, A small science vessel scans ragol with a beacon of photon light and a telescope.

Inside a group of scientists wearing large orange translucent helmets, with bird-like appearance to their shape, and blue body armor walk about, scanning, manipulating, studying their observance of the planet and its inhabitants.

"We have concluded," one speaks in a meeting, "That the life forms of ragol are composed of Photon DNA, thanks to the work of pioneer scientsits like DR. Montague, the Island science facilitator, and Ms. Rico, and Mr. Chavez, we can conclude the following: this ship's prime directive has now been changed. We are no longer Observation beacon 106.7... We are now MORGUE."
Everyone around the long tabled applauds, the tiny round-bodied robotic workers even put their tiny hands together in appreciation before resuming their daily tasks.

"let the first hunter willing to join our special research team... ENTER!"

A blast of light radiates from a teleporter at the end of a long hallway that extends to the room. The catwalk illuminates with moving parts and photon energies traveling about the ship.

"We have chosen this hunter after years of research and have decided that he is in his prime for being assigned these new duties... He will also be accompanied by an android of our choice..."

The teleporter illuminated with differint colored streaking lights, and a silouete appeared as if from out of nowhere, it started walking forward, metalic boots clamoring against the floor with each step he took forward.

"Welcome... Valinian!"

A gold-eyed ranger wearing medium-class armor with nothing in his pocket but a handgun stood before the comitee of sientists.

"His stats are as follows" an android read out:
"STR 110
DEX 200
EVP 200
MIND 200
DEF 190

He wears a Body Plate, a Yellow Earing, A Hairclip, a Digger/hp booster, giving him 20 HP, and a TP of 15

He weights in at 240 LBs fully clothed, and stand 5'9.

He is especially tall for his race: Being a Newman, and as you know, his class is ranger.

Full name: Valinian Fikhana

May I be the first to welcome you on board MORGUE?"

The ranger shook the tiny robots hand, and then proceeded to walk down the catwalk to a scientist who had come out to greet him.

"We are very anxiouse to get you down to the surface... But we must test your abilities first... As you know we do not utelize Mags here with our research, We feel that they corrupt the hunter, so instead, we are giving you a support android. His name is D-3-4-7-H, and is a PINKAL ID... We belive he was used as a service droid back when the pioneer 1 colony dropped, we aren't sure of what his purpose was during the pioneer 1 disaster, only that we found his husk among thousands of bones. We haven't activated him since then, as we haven't had a need for a tank-like war machine like him... But we're sure he'll work just fine, acoording to his Neural network, everything is nomal. We'll introduce you to him after we get to a more pressing matter. You can keep your handgun, but you won't be needing it. We are going to give you the power to utelize all the photon energy in the world... gentlement... show him the deck..."

A metalic case was layed out onto a table before Valinian.

"Here we have 10 photon cards, ready for use, and 20 blank cards. When you encounter a specie of monster that you do not have in your deck, place a DNA sample onto the blank photon card, and it will bond with the DNA, creating a summoning spell."

"These cards have been magiked by our most powerfull forces..."
"They have also been enhanced by our greatest sciences..."

"We hope you are able to use them well, to activate the spell bound to the special card, simply hold it in the palm of your hand and call the spell placed onto the thin object. We refer to these as cards because they are so thin, but what they really are is hand-held genetic cloning device able to replicate, or summon, beasts at your will. Two of these beasts are off-world life forms, if you decide to utelize them, well... Be cautiouse... One is a G-NELL the other a BARUBARY WORM. The other cards in your deck are: Rappy, Booma, Shark, Shark, Shark, Lilly, Lilly, Grass Assasin."

"We have also programed your armed droid with 3 cards, which we have programmed him to be able to use..."

"Ah yes the droid.. let's go get him shall we?"

The armored ranger is then lead into a room by three scientists, there is a large vault of frozen and suspended androids, they are on a rotating conveyor belt, the sounds of them resonating, "awaiting... instructions..." can be heard all around the room, though very quiet, it is quite apparent that all of the androids in the room are fully active. THe scientist presses a button on his wrist and the rotation stops, two-by-two the cases are stacked on top of eachother, one is then pressed forward and lowers to the ground level with the scientists and ranger. Cold gasses leak out of the sides of the container, as it's lid then folds upward with a turbine sound, inside a solid black android is sitting, it has a set of mags and a gigantic cannon-looking item to its side, its eyes begin to glow and it looks up at the ranger.

"hell- o..." It speaks emmotionally

Its massive, lumbering body then steps out of the container and stands up, almost 12 feet tall!

"Awaiting... Instructions..." it says emmotionlessly, yet again...

"Go on," a scientist says to Valinian, "Command it!"

Valinian blinked. He looked up and down examining the huge robot. He knew this was going to be an awesome adventure with this thing. "Hmm... Robot.." there was a long silence. "Robot, do stand up comedy!"

[ 05-16-2003, 08:20 AM: Message edited by: SomeGuy ]

The robot opened a chest pannel and pulle dout a microphone.

"Check one check one..." it spoke with a bit of emmotion...

"What is it with pineapples these days? I mean... come on... Has anyone actually seen where they GROW from? Do they grow out of the ground like potatoes or do they come from trees? You knwo what.. I don't think anyone REALLY knows... that's why i've concluded that Pineapples are actually synthetically created, homogonized... thing that were a top-secret experinment by the hostess company that went terribly... teribly wrong... oh and while we're at it... let's talk about IDs for a minute here... alright... alright... WHY! of all the IDs the principal can hand out... WHY is this PINK ONE the best? I mean COME ON! you'd think of all the Section IDs in the WORLD you'd have like.. RED... or... BLACK... or maybe even WHITE or anything would be good! but NO! Red means you just find good armor, Black: Rifles, and heck... even other colors like yellow, all you find with YELLOW is MONEY! it takes a PINK id to actually find Chainsaws and Death Spells! Is there a bit of IRONY here? I do belive so ! Actually It's not Irony at work at all! ITS THE PRINCIPAL'S FASION SENCE! Just look at the guy! He wears a freaking Liotard that's had paint spill on it or something! He looks like a Parrot! i thought Ship captains were supposed to have the parrot on their shoulder, not kill and make a uniform out of them! Sheesh! And he's always CRYING even when he's happy! What kind of a leader crys all the time? How can he even see all those freaking monitors if all he dos is get teary eyed! And that's about all I've got to conclude on the matter... Tell Thanks 'yall I hope you liked the show, now if you don't mind i'm going to go slam my **** into a drawre now..." It put the mic back, made a comedic gesture and then stumbled away as if it realy had slammed its **** in a drawre... It then resumed an upright position and looked down at is master.

"... I remember..." it spoke... then looked at the scientists... "thank you for reviving me... what year is it?"

"It's 2205"

"2205... 7 years..."

"yes it's been 7 years since pioneer 1 landed..."

"wow... Well i suppose it coudl be worse! last time I woke up in a cryo chamer 90 years had passed" The andoid guffawed

"EMMOTIONS!?"

"what?"

"you Exhibit emmotions!"

"of course I do! I constantly do my Microsoft Updates! Unlike some droids I know..."

One of the scientists chuckled and after a stern look form his companions fell silent...

"My Name isn't D-3-4-7-H... that's L33t for Death! my Name's Death! Pleased to meet you... OH WHOOPS forgot my boquet!" The android reached back and pulled out his gigantic cannon, it struck the floor as he whipped out out and it dented the floor

"THAT FLOOR IS MADE OF REINFORCED PHOTON STEEL!"

"whoops sorry, I hope your insurance covers that..."

"WHY INSURE SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE TO DAMAGE?!"

"... doesn't look like that to me Doc... alright letsee i've got these here cards, got my big gun.. anything I'm missing? AH RIGHT! "

he placed the tapas on his shoulders, they shivered a bit and shook off the ice compacted around them, still dripping cooland, they chirped and whirled about casting Shifa/Deband "Aww you guys still remember me..."

He then latched on a large sheild and looked back at the ranger...

"Comming?"

He then walked up to the teleporter...

"Our first quest will take us to the forest to test our your weapon, there's a particular section where the monsters are behaving odly..."

The scientsits spoke up "HOW DO YOU KNOW HIS MISSION?"

"live-updates remember?"

"Oh right..."

another chuckle...

"Right Let's go little guy!... can I call you rusty?"

Valinian chuckled at the robot's jokes and followed him to the teleporter. "Don't call me rusty, please. Call me Valinian or Val for short.It's what my old friend's used to call me." He looked up at the robot. "I'm ready when you are Death."

"away we go then..."

light washed around the large android and his ranger acomplice...

"i'm a ranger too you know" he spoke while they were warping... Speaking during transport is in-fact theoretically impossible, but he somehow managed to blurt something out which echoed all the way downt he teleporter, it was as if he'd practiced long enough to know the timings of everything. They appeared on the planet and stepped out onto the fresh grass.

"I can't belive its been so long since my feet have been planted in soil.."

the horizon extended outward and on forever, they were standing on a hillside overlooking a vast feild of trees, streams, rivers, valleyes, canyons, birds flying in the air, a beautifull pair of suns in the sky, and in the distance a few lumbering beasts traveled amonsgst the trees...

"So what exactly are we looking for here?"

Suddenly the ground below them began rumbling, "OK! If you want to use one of those cards this might be the time!"

-------BATTLE BEGINS---------

The soil bursts open and some snarling beasts appear, BOOMAS, these ground-hog like beasts like to bite and slash their oponents, they also have a terrifying roar which doesn't actually do any harm. Their bite is alot worse than their bark. Thought hey are relativley weak.

"Back up now!" the two rangers stepped back until they met a large door behind them "alright... on the count of 3 we do it... One... two.."

Glancing at his partner, Talin shrugged, then turned to the old man. "Actually sir, we need to get clearance from the Principal to head over to Rogal, we've been given a mission from our guild. If these Section IDs will allow us entrance to Rogal, then by all means, I would like to apply for one."

"Alright then..." the principal hands out 2 medallions which are then planted on open sockets on the hunter and rangers armor. The ranger: Bluefull, the Hunter: Redira..."

"Welcome aboard! Now... The gate is yours to use at free will... I wish you alot of luck down there... and ..." He begins to choke...

"J-j... JUST GO!" he shouts... he turns his back and falls to his knees shouting "RICO!" and sobbing into his hands... The secretary gives the two a concerned look them motions with her head that they should "go on get out of there"

so they leave and arrive back at the main catwalk, the marines part and leave just enough room for the hunter and ranger to cross. A gigantic doorway lifts up, exposing a sensetive teleportation ring, surrounded by monitoring technology, it glows and radiates with vibrant color...

"here goes..."

The two walk into the light and feel themselves being propelled downward through a tunnel, they then hit the ground, hard, but it's not metalic like all the other ground on the pioneer two. They clench their fists and feel through actual living grass with their hands... it feels so ... alive... the air feels cleaner... The sounds of songbirds and the feeling of hot sunlight hitting the skin through the atmosphere make the alien place seem completley natural, as if being born from a metal womb into a world of sights, sounds, and colors, that the body and mind could only long for and never receive...

They look up, ahead of them stood a large stone monument... it seemed to have been carved out of something... Exactly what... they weren't sure...

Valinian stayed calm and pulled out the deck of cards and removed the one with the rappy in it and summoned it. He wasn't sure how to command the thing or if it would just attack on it's own. "Um.. Attack now!"

[ 05-17-2003, 12:04 AM: Message edited by: SomeGuy ]

Thalali took a deep breath. "Ahhh,so this is real air!!" he exclaimed. He felt where he belonged with the colors and the sound and the air. He just felt well, good.

A tiny yellow penguin-like bird appeared before the rangers. It squarked and stumbled about, looking at the large boomas. One took a swipe at it and before its claw even came in contact with the foul it fell over and played dead. The boomas sniffed at it and left it where it lay, now turning toward the rangers. "Um I can only attack when I am commanded sir, and you still have 3 rounds before they get here so you'd better order me well..."

3 more boomas poped up from the ground out of the same holes the first three had burrowed out of...

"I have an order for you Death, attack at will, or do you have a will? Screw it, I'll worry about that later, ATTACK!" Val took out the shark card and summoned it. "Shark, attack the boomas."

[ 05-18-2003, 11:16 PM: Message edited by: SomeGuy ]

Also taking a deep breath of the fresh air, Talin sneezed explosively. Once, twice, then three times... Wiping his eyes, he looked at his partner. "Goddamned allergies, never knew I had em."
Glancing around him, he turned back to Thalali, "Where were we supposed to meet that woman again? These allergies are rattling my brain."

"We have to follow this beakon signal I think," Thalali pointed at a little red dot on his beeper thingy. "This way," he said pointing twords the beeping.

Nodding his head as another sneeze assaulted him, Talin fell in behind the Hunter, willing his allergies to go away as they walked.

Death Pulled his large cannon from a slot on his back, meanwhile the shark appeared and rushed toward the boomas, who had no armor to protect against it's evoulved blade-arms. They could only fight by clawing back, each attack they made a forced slice from their flesh. Red and green blood flew about wildly as the two completley differint species confronted eachother, then another booma joined in to spport it. The rappy continued to play dead. Death's cannon then made a sound as he rotated it quickly in the air, bringing the trigger into his hand and the cannon aiming the other way after forcing 3 large shells into the barrel. He pulled the large trigger which seemed only matchable to his large metalic fingers, the cannon then had many moving parts which opened up and vented steam in a complicated fasion, and then the barrel shot forward and then back again, fire blew out of the vent holes and the air began to vibrate as if it had been superheated, the shell landed between two Boomas and then detonated in a huge mushroom cloud which knocked them both to the ground, because their weakness was fire they were instantly killed. The shark then knocked down and slashed the throat of another booma.

-You have Leveled up to level 2 (Someguy)-

_________________________________________

MEANWHILE:

Just over a few hill ridges and past some trees the hunter and ranger were following a signal which they were tracking. The little red dot wasn't on the radar but like a compas it seemed to be leading to it with a little text ID tag on the spot as being "Pioneer 1"

If this was true then they would have to investigate it...

Suddenly they heard the shrill cries of monsters off in the distance and then hey noticed smoke bloowing up from the ground, then suddenly the sound of gunfire followed by a loud explosion that shook the trees and sent the local birds flying... It was comming from the direction they were headed...

Thalali started to run in the direction they were headed. He pulled out his saber and prepared it for battle.

After one last sneeze, Talin unholstered his handgun as he started to run after the Hunter.
"Wait up, Thal! We should head into this together!" He said as he hurried to catch up.

Vorian smiled. "Awesome gun you go there. Gotta get myself one of those." As he heard the noise of in the direction they were heading he looked up at Death. "We should go investigate. C'mon." Val head off into the direction of the noise, but not before getting his Shark and Rappy back.

[ 05-20-2003, 05:35 PM: Message edited by: SomeGuy ]

"Val!" Death shouted "That was just my shell casing landing way out there... they kind of have a bit of distance to them...

He then fired another round, a similar sound echoed about, a swirling cloud of flame engulfed the oponent boomas, and nothing was left but a shark, a rappy (still playing dead) and a large smoking crater. Suddenly more boomas jumped up from the ashes, simultanously two other mercenaries, a hunter and ranger, leapt from some brush and appeared as if out of nowhere. One seemed rather uncomfortable and the other alarmed, they were clad in full-body shades of grey and dark red...

"Who the hell are you?!"

Everyone bothered to blurt out at once, including the boomas, tho their language made it sound more like:

"ARRUR AURR ARRR?!"

Talin, his handgun pointed at a diagonal angle at the ground, glanced wildly. There was a smoking crater with little bits of creature flesh hanging off of the nearby trees, another Ranger that was standing near an incredibly huge robot that reminded Talin of a really really big...Robot. With a giant cannon perched on its shoulder. Then he noticed the Boombas that had popped out in the clearing as well.

Finally turning back to Thalali, Talin shrugged, not knowing what to do, or who to shoot. He just knew that he didnt want to get in a fight with that giant robot thing...

Thalali looked at the giant robot. A single shivber went down his spine. "Uhh, we came some gun fire so we came to investigate," Thalali said a little unshurely. Thalali just looked at the floor the whole time he said that making sure not to make eye contact with the huge chrome robot.

Valinian just stood there with his mouth open. "Screw it. Shark kill the Boomas, and who are you guys? As for me. I am Valinian. My partner can introduce himself, and he can do great stand up comedy, which I would like to see again soon. Now, who are you guys?"

Talin nodded at Valinian, "Im Talin, pleased to meet you. But we should probably take care of these Boombas before getting into a deep disscusion right now, eh?"
Turning towards one of the creatures, Talin opened fire on it with his handgun.

Thalali swung his saber at one of the boomas while yelling,"I'm Thalali."

"I'm no one important, just a typical battle android ranger... But you're interfeiring with special operation work by Morgue... unlesss you want to participate I suggest you end now...

"Alright mister Valarian," the android said to his acomplice, "now that you have seent he first-post-first-serve method of fighting, it is time to test out the true power of the cards! INITIATE THE PHOTON GRID!"

A grid of photonic squares appeared and it was as if a gameboard was at their feet.

"To play this game you roll a photon dice and that allows you to move a number of spaces, pinpoint and oponent and attack, after you have attacked the enemy has an equal chance to attack you, and the fighting is turn-based rather than free, you can choose yoru combat type based on how you and the other players feel like playing."

The android tossed down a card. "I summon GEE!"

A large insect-wasp creature with three stingers appeared. It looks menacing as it buzed about, It was then when everyone noticed that they were unable to move.

"in order to move you must shout the command to roll your photonic dice..."

A small holographic monitor appeared infront of everyone, including the monsters, with a mathmatical readout.

"alright... We're operating under controlled conditions now... Morgue won't let anything go wrong... now... it's your guy's move..." the android said to the confused ranger and hunter who had just shown up...

"If you don't use cards then command yourselves to attack..."

OOC:
If you want to play by dice rules for this battle then you can roll your own dice and refer to this map:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/shinokai1...tCombatMap.gif

Otherwise just role play like normal, depends on what battle rule system the group would prefer (you two) Someguy and I have to do this battle mode 1: as an example, 2: For Morgue, but you guys can actually do whatever you want [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm doing this to encorporate the Episode 3 Rule System in a bit...
It works by rolling 2 6 sided dice, in this game it's a "special" system, almost like a mini-game type situation, and it works by the same system, roll 1 d6 for movement and another d6 for number of attacks you make or spells casting, or healing, or attacking spell casting and healing it's all up to you the number just determines how many moves you can make before the monster does [img]tongue.gif[/img] Where as normal Episode 1 and 2 PSO rules state you just shoot/spellcast/heal and dodge/get hit, it's all about talent really [img]tongue.gif[/img] in online role playing it's more free-form but the DM will make sure to balance how often you're hit acoordingly, no matter how dramatic your declaration, the more dramatic and vivid the better your rewards, the more UBER-Munchkiney your declaration, then the more punnishment you will receive. [img]tongue.gif[/img] There... and that's how Battle works online [img]smile.gif[/img]
