Ok kids, this is something called a "role playing game" and this is just starting so if you want to join just post a reply here with a filled out character sheet and we'll get started...
HALCYON
G o d l e s s E a r t h
welcome to the first Halcyon-Based role playing game... EVER...
This is an experinment which I've decided to try, I thought it up while I was sitting staring blankly at a tile wall... Don't ask... anyway... Here's the plan... You know how to play Role Playing Games, otherwise you wouldnt be in here, so I'll try to sum up the character creation rules as best as possible:
Creating a character: Fill out this feild and follow the applied rules in ( )'s
my only key here is to be as exotic as possible
Name: (First, Middle, Last)
Left Eye Color: (does not mean the iris color, but the "white" of the eye)
Left Pupil/Iris Color:
Right Eye Color: (can differ should you choose the standard is usually white)
Right Pupil/Iris Color: (Can differ while eye "whites" stay the same)
Hair Color: (Go with something creative)
Hair Style: (Spikey, Droopy, dreadlocks, bald, half bald, what?)
Race: (Choose All forms of Genasi, Planetouched, Multiplanar abbominations or Terran or Android)
Gender: (Males tend to be rough, Females Tend to have higher int and wis, and Androgynouse tend to be very gifted in both all androids are androgynouse though they can have a "theme" to their appearance making them look like a nurse or a tank or whatever)
Body Peircings: (nothing naughty)
Silver Nitrate Facial tatoos: (These are subject to change as they may become status symbols, your choices are, one triangle on either cheek, two triangles on either cheek, one or two on both cheeks, a rectangle on either cheek or both, a cicular patter, a star pattern, or a unique pattern (please specify) remember these tend to only work for people who havent chosen "drow" as their skin tone)
Additional tatoos: (Silver nitrate patterns down your arms and legs perhaps? Id unnow...)
Skin Tone: (Pale, Fleshy, or "drow" black)
Proffession: (When you select a profession, keep in mind that they wont be your "ordinary" D&D type profesion, rangers, for example, will be able to ignite arrows with their minds and shoot them like machine gun bullets and fighters will be able to leap across buildings like superheroes, mages automatically will have the abillity to fly and so on...)

Blood type: (Tells ALOT about your character)
Religeon: (You have Christianity(good), Athiesm(Neutral), The Torn Ones (Good/Evil depends on the time of day) Buhdism(Good), and Satanism(evil), this game is highly based on the Kabalah and the Bible, it is not a religeouse thread tho)

Terrans and androids don't get the above techniques but have their own list, including: Improved wepaon handling, Climbing, grappling, throwing, unarmed combat, street fighting, limit break, and mech piloting (note that androids who choose the size of Extra large actually ARE mechs and because they're PCs do not require a pilot) Ship Piloting, Dodge with Ship (requires ship piloting feat), Combat Training with Ship (requires Ship Piloting Fear
WEAPONS:
Your character must have a tool, so choose something, anything, be creative, know that its power will never equal that of your own tho, androids and terrans gain the automatic use of any weapon they like, all non-terran/androids are granted a single soul cell. If a person wins the game they earn a second soul cell, The torn automatically obtain two soul cells, each soul cell contains the potential to gain 10 more abilities, but it is only workable at level 20. So remember that. Terrans/Androids basically can choose guns including: Repulstor Rifles, Quad Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Dimensional Guns, Flight Irons, Tazer Batons, Mining Lasers, Plasma Sheilds, anythign your imagination can think of, heck even bows and spears work here, remember that most players should "theme" their character so weapons should also be themed.
Also remember that Ships, and Mechs are useable as weapons as well, we'll categorize them whent he time comes...
Alright!
now that thats over lets explain how the system works, your player levels up like so:
Everyone Begins at Level 1,
Level 2 - 1000 XP Points
Level 3 - 1500 XP Points
Level 4 - 2000 XP Points
Level 5 - 2500 XP Points
Level 6 - 3000 XP Points
Level 7 - 3500 XP points
Level 8 - 4000 XP Points
Level 9 - 4500 XP Points
Level 10 - 5000 XP Points
Level 11 - 6000 XP Points
Level 12 - 7000 XP Points
Level 13 - 8000 XP Points
Level 14 - 9000 XP Points
Level 15 - 10,000 XP Points
Level 16 - 15,000 XP Points
Level 17 - 20,000 XP Points
Level 18 - 25,000 XP Points
Level 19 - 30,000 XP Points
Level 20 - 35,000 XP Points
Ok, how do you get XP ponits? Well heres how:
Meditation: Gain 100 XP points per 10 seconds, an automatic 2 levels up if undisturbed for a day. (the Kai Charge technique also allows you to meditate at 5 times the ordinary rate, however it requires you to stand out in the open and make your presence blatantly known)
Work: Find Jobs around the city, ask NPCs you meet (i'll direct them) and you can gain XP musch more quickly
Fight: Of course you're bound to meet eachother, and villians and monsters, fighting them gives XP, oh and if you should fight eachother, remember it will make you noticed but XP will be potentially amazing
Losing XP Points:
How do you LOSE points? Why 20 levels may seem like alot of work but infact its much harder because if you use any special abilities, instead of costing mana, it will cost you XP, hence, the personw ith the most points usually wins a fight, though punching and kicking are plain, in this world if you want to fight another like yourself you'd better expect to do a few energy blasts, take out a few city blocks and charge up alot of points, of course you can expell points just as quickly as you gain them, so make sure you win... another way to lose points, of course, is losing a fight, which automatically takes 1 level away, no matter what. During a fight levels are bound to go up and down too, so be prepared, if that huge energy blast doesnt work out you might just end up with your oponent getting the advantage, this will make you all the more cautiose about combat.
How to win: If your oponent is eirher killed or knocked out you win, your HP is determined by your constitution, and belive me, no ordinary HP is invoulved, though yoru stats may change as you level, its the improvements of your ABILITIS which you'll see are key, so choose your abilities wisley, also, strong mages and intelligent fighters can work, they just wont work well, and you'll see that rather quickly, so don't try to cheat the system
The games setting: The game is in a city the likes of a blade-runner ripooff, there are a thousand paths for every path taken and a thousand possibilities, work, temples for healing, underground areas, including fighting pits, subways, stargates, and even space stations lie at your disposal on this unusual earth. Sighing up for this game is NOT and i repeat, NOT a munchkin game, it's a game about inhuman characters the likes of which appear in my manga who are like gods among men in a frivolent world subject to change.
Keys to playing: Keep your Identiry secret, as PCs you're all really after eachother, and people are after you, and unless there is a dire circumstance, it is recomended that you don't do anything crazy. Androids who play will join the side of the government, or will be mercenaries, dedicated to killing the inhumans. Terrans will also be parts of the government. Comic relief is also an important thing to have, so be sure to keep a good attitude while playing, unless you want to be a dark character, go nuts
Work: Once again, jobs are offered at everything from Resturaunts to offices, your character is very adaptive and should be able to do any chore the city required.
Owning Ships and Property: You can buy guns, ships, apartments, and build space stations eventually if you collect enough money, the ultimate goal for anyone here is to probably build a home on another world, free from the opression of earth, but remember theres a competition going on here, ship types will be explained when we get to them, until now, just know that all manners of vehicles have been seen in my manga before and i'm prepared for anything.
The Main Character: The one person who is sucessfull who will rise above all others will not only get their own comic series but also the potential title of a level 20 MasakariKushari Kai, and with it, the ability to meet the creator of the universe which enables you to be reset into the next game with all of your same abilities + 10-30 more of your choice. then set in with a fresh batch of players, winners will always continue on to the next game even if another player wins, a tie is only possible if a neutral agreement is made for both players to just give it up and meet their destiny together.
Temples: Each major religeon has a temple, though the darker ones will have to find underground places.
The Torn: The torn tend to be wicked during the night while good during the day, they may even change lifestyles completley, and they are usually unaware of their alter ego as they are sufferint from a jeckyle-hyde style multipler personality disorder.
Alright that should be that... good luck everyone who signs up, lets hope for a good game, oh and i'll illustrate characters after you're done setting them up.
