Greetings, Spiral Roleplayers! This game is loosely based on the Fate tabletop game system.

Many actions in the game occur on a 1d6 dice roll and the exchange of Fate Points, which represent your ability to influence the story. Spending fate points allows you to move the story your way, while being accepting fate points Compels you to make a particular action in the story. Aspects are phrases that describe some significant detail about a character, things that make your character matter. You can invoke them with fate points for a bonus of some kind, usually a +2 to your attempt rolls. All players and NPCs begin with 1 fate point.

Most common obstacles simply have a Difficulty rating that the players must exceed in their Attempt rolls to overcome it. If the obstacle fights back, then it makes a Response roll in an attempt to defend itself. Again, the players must match or exceed the response roll to overcome it. The difference between the attempt and response roll is called a Shift. If the shift works in favor of the player, then you deal Damage (which may or may not include physical harm). If the shift works in favor of the opposition, then you fail or, depending on the situation, take damage yourself. If there is no shift (or a shift of 0), then neither party succeeds.

Attacks need not involve weapons; hurling insults or making strong arguments can also count as attacks. Taking damage from attacks results in Stress. This can be things like superficial injuries, wounded ego, irritation, and such like. If you take more than 3 stresses, you suffer a Consequence, which is a more serious and permanent damage, like serious wounds, debilitating grief, or uncontrolled rage. Withdrawing from a conflict before you're knocked out earns you a fate point. Stresses are healed immediately after combat, while consequences are healed after a reasonable (usually short) time period.

Approaches describe what kind of character you're playing. There are six approaches to choose from and 9 points to spend on them; you must spend 3 points on only one approach, 2 points on two approaches, and 1 point on two more approaches. Everything else is 0 (mediocre). Each point gives you +1 to your attempt rolls.
The six approaches are:

  • Careful: You pay close attention to detail to get the job done right.
  • Clever: You can think fast, solve complicated problems, or handle multiple complex variables.
  • Flashy: You draw attention to yourself with your style and panache.
  • Forceful: You're strong, not subtle. Perform feats of strength.
  • Quick: You can move quickly and dexterously.
  • Sneaky: You can misdirect, deceive, or be stealthy.

When creating a character sheet, you must provide the following information:

  • Name:
  • Gender & Birthdate (based on current year 3014):
  • Appearance & Gear: (image preferred)
  • Aspects:
  • Approaches:
  • Bio & Personality:

Example Character Sheet:

  • Gwenivere
  • female, 02/14/2450
  • Aspects: Core Spirit; I Love All My Spiral Knights; Psychic Telepath
  • Approaches:
    • Careful: 0
    • Clever: +2
    • Flashy: +3
    • Forceful: +1
    • Quick: +2
    • Sneaky: +1

In this RP "Fate: Factions", there are five factions you will encounter:

  • Spiral Order: A chivalric order of knights who seek to spread justice and peace in the galaxy. Led by Captain Ozlo.
  • Crimson Order: Mortal enemies of the Spiral Order. Led by King Tinkinzar.
  • Morai Legion: An upstart, rag-tag bunch of individuals, these knights are primarily characterized by their hatred for the Spiral Order. Led by Captain Scofflaw..
  • Void Swarm: An upstart collection of sentient individuals who have been corrupted by the Swarm. Led by Malfeasance.
  • Apocrea: Lords of the Underword. Devilites, Trojans, Fallen Valkyries, and Apocrean Knights are all loyal to Apocrea. Led by Shroud.

You take the role of a Spiral Knight. Your goal: To defend the Spiral Order from all enemies, be they foreign or domestic, and to protect, defend and uphold the cause of justice here on Cradle.

THE STORY SO FAR

When the Core was opened, every dark thing it sealed away was released. The portal to the Underworld was opened, the Eye of the Void was uncovered, the Swarm broke loose upon the planet, and the Dark Ritual of Resurrection was unleashed upon the dead. The benevolent Core Spirit, grieved by this mass release of evil, pleads for your assistance in containing it all. Complicating the situation is the uprise of the Morai, your brethren in arms who hate the Spiral Order for various reasons. Will you defend the Order, or will you betray it?

That, my friend, is your own decision.

Good luck.

Theory

The operating theories behind this RP are thus:
*Open-world games last longer. Linear games are more difficult to keep flowing.
*Players like having a few things randomized and a few things deterministic. Freeform isn't always appealing.

Let's see how it all works out.

Did you just create a FOURTH ONGOING RP!?!

AAAAAARGH.
All things aside, I hope it goes well.

Most of your RP's have ended from undercooperation, as USUAL.

@Liminori: I'm thinking a backup GM would help with that, someone to take over for me when I get weary of the game. It should be much easier for a backup GM to take over in an open-world game than in a closed-world game.

@Ironic-Biscuit: Use the main app template, please. I'll need a picture, biography, and a gear description (if the appearance doesn't settle it).

Well, school's almost over for me (Yes. Almost. there were WAY too many cancellations.), so I'll probably join this RP, but It might take until tomorrow as I have a feeling that my mom is going to come and tell me to sleep soon. Also, I WILL find someway to have owlite lore in here somewhere, despite being limited to knights. I really like owlite lore, despite the lack of it.

Yay! More Thinslayer 'stuff'!

I personally think randomization is better, as a structured story arc in free form requires an immensely more dedicated and coordinated group to pull off (and it's not as game-like).

By the way, can you please bold all the terms in apostrophes in the OP? I'm probably going to glance at them frequently, but I completely understand if you don't want to bother with something so trivial.

I'll make an app 'soon'.... ;D

Quick: 1

Sneaky: 2

Bio & Personality:

Though his rugged appearance would make many think otherwise, Rain wasn't a warlord like many others would think he'd be. Though he has served in the military as an extremely lucky soldier (he got the name "Rain" as he lead a blitz on several Isoran strongholds sustaining only a facial scar after), he has detested its end-results, and deems it only as a last-resort political movement. During his time in the military, his physique remained trim and rather average, though he began to develop muscular hypertrophy after allowing his body to rest. The Morai blood in him speedily made him a meaty individual, and not even the near-extreme amounts of exercise could trim down on his muscles. It wasn't a surprise that many people who weren't educated about the Morai anatomy made him out to be some irregularity from the norm.

As an up-and-coming politician, he desires to change not exactly the entire Morai nation itself, but subtly change the ideals into something more...practical. Besides that, the political field seems like a rather tame playground in comparison to his years of service. With this new threat to face, his experiences in war could help out his ability to be an advocate for even other political figures.

@Darkwatck

Being part of the Spiral Order doesn't stop you from being a mercenary. Heck, that's how the whole dang Order is run! Guilds are generally powerful enough that the leadership doesn't dare treat them like common military.

Being unaffiliated with the Order puts you at a SERIOUS disadvantage. You can't take advantage of its services (crafting, forging, Auction House), you don't have access to the Garrison or anything in it, you have no rights in the event of unwanted PvP, and you might not even have access to the Clockworks (since the Order controls it).

In other words its a complete block of serves unless the Merc. Group has control of an outside face or terminal. In fact is a death sentance either way.

What I meant was, Skotino believes in research and his ever growing madness. (Quote of Edger A. Po: I am insane with bouts of sanity) Skotino is my personal mix of the ingame item Dragon scales, There DNA, and Dark Matter which is what is killing him. Well in a since its killing his sanity since he does do insane things, but what makes him a threat to others is when he has those moments of sanity for it makes him rather dirty and tricky. Other wise Daud makes most of the calls.

You're accompanying Gwen at the entrance to a boss room. There are two Apocrean Knights guarding the door. Gwen plants a hand on her hip and studies them for a moment. "This already doesn't look good. Shall we engage them, boys?"

Gender & Birth-date: Male, 12/08/2980

Bio & Personality:

Bio: Living for years in the country side of the world Skotino, much like his father and father before him lived as farmer’s who served in the Order as mid ranked knights reaching the titles they desired before turning in there uniform for a peaceful relaxing life. Skotino on the other hand was giving a different lot in life. After his sign up with the Spiral Order and run through boot camp Skotino followed his families foot prints for the Wardens, barely scraping by he managed to pass into the ranks, but found out he was more adapt at the quicker thinking mind set and deceptive actions of a back stabber then being on the front lines protecting other.

It was with this he came to meet his friend and most loyal second in command Daud. The two became known for Daud’s black and white view on the world and Skotino’s quick thinking in battle. Using Daud more like a moral campus Skotino slowly amassed the funds to build a personal Guild and mercenary group which housed research and development on large scale weapons as well as smaller soldier designs and defense.
Once on Cradle, Skotino went about setting up personal base’s all across the planet’s surface once Heaven was settled as the Spiral’s HQ. It was on this planet he found the elements which would be his greatest Bio-Weapon and down fall. Taking his time and using the Spiral’s as a source of income to fuel his personal military and research the army Skotino slowly built up became known as the Darkwatch, a group who’s members refer to themselves’ as Regulator’s for they regulate the world outside of the Spiral’s reach.

Four short years after the Watch had been completely set up and working the Researcher’s found an away to make Skotino’s idea for a bio-weapon come true. Hoping to spare some fool a life of misery Skotino volunteered himself for the medical procedure which at first worked, giving him a stronger since of the world around him and hyping his mind to that of an elder of the planet. However it shortly after everything was said and done, his mind atrophied and caused the Leader to become a shadow of his former mental self.
Still alive and now corrupted with DNA of an ancient creature and Dark Matter fueling his physical shifts Skotino battles insanity as the dark energies flow threw his body.

Personality: Prone to hear source’s and the shadows. Skotino will never take off his armor for his skin is far to messed up. His blood is a form of red blood and Liquid Dark Matter which he needs an injection every 24 hours to keep from crystallizing. When he has bouts of sanity his mental state makes him dangerous. Its unknown what causes his sanity to return or how long it will last?

The guards are standing right in front of the boss door, with a wide open lobby in front of them. Sneaking behind them isn't feasible here.

Quickness sounds more like something your char could do here.

Screw feasibility. This is a test run!

The guards have a difficulty rating of 6. Alexander rolls a 4, modified by his Sneak bonus of +2, resulting in a 6. 6 vs 6 = 0 shift; it's a tie! The guards don't spot you, but you made too much noise, so they know someone's trying to sneak up on them. Sneak cannot be used against them next turn.

    Gwen summoned her psi-blades and crouched down. She suddenly leaped into the air, spinning on the wind like a dancer. Her swords crackled and snapped in the air as they locked with the dark, vile blades of the Apocrean guards. Gwen's eyes narrowed, and she hissed with disapproval at the faceless monster before her. "Give it up, Dark One." she bade him with a low growl in her throat. Then she wrung her swords out of the lock and twirled them menacingly, preparing for a second strike.

    Bio & Personality: A spiral scholar and researcher-in-training, more interested in the history of cradle than the geology of geo-knights. Although he spends too much time reading instead of socializing, he is quite the sharp individual and does try sometimes. Any arguments or fights he comes by he tries to solve fairly and calmly, but gets irritated when people don't try to understand his view or just plain don't understand what he's suggesting. Whenever he's doing field research he tries to go with someone else for defense from hostile creatures, as he's not the best fighter by a long shot. When he must though, he is capable enough to manage on his own, but at a much slower pace. In his research, he mainly focuses on the owlite/kat feud, though finding information is tough as both sides are dead. He obtained his authentic spookat helm after many accidental encounters with the pumpkin king during a dark harvest festival while trying to see if there were any relations between chromas and slimes before cradle. Results inconclusive.

    Name: Stratios Dolum
    Male, 1/02/2953
    Appearance
    Gear: Azure Guardian set, No shield, and Final Flourish.

    Aspects:

  • Strategize
  • Sly Smooth Talking
  • Unprecedented Speed Counter/Charge
  • Approaches:

  • Careful: +1
  • Clever: +3
  • Flashy: +0
  • Forceful: +1
  • Quick: +2
  • Sneaky: +2
  • Bio: Since he was young, Stratios was a trickster, always challenging the rules and finding ways to please himself, ignorant to the woes of others. When he was instituted as a Knight, he came to the realization that his mannerisms would not be suitable. Effectively using his skills, he managed to develop the technique of manipulation, but his heart still lied within the naughty trickster he was as a youth.

    As he got older, he realized that occasionally, no matter how drenched in butter your words are, they would not be able to save you. His physical skills as a knight were not on par with that of his rank, and he was often shunned despite his efforts to reconcile. Eventually, some knights got it into their heads one day, that he wasn't being all fair with a certain mission. Ever since, he became much faster, and continued to hone those skills along with his smooth talking. His increasing speed also brought about his ability with the Flourish.

    Nearing his thirtieth anniversary as a knight, it became clear that his lack of physical prowess (in spite of his training) was simply too large of an obstacle. At that point, he was known for his prominence at councils and his ability to develop strategies. From that point on, he was placed as a tactician, rather than a fighter.

    Personality: A condescending and sly individual, Stratios has a incorrigible tendency to manipulate and exploit those around him to his own ends. By no means does this mean he himself is a cruel or misguided individual, but with his arrogantly proclaimed superior intellect (which one could not truly argue against) he usually ends up either angering everyone, or somehow pleasing everyone, if it is within his interests, of course. He is an incredible tactician and despite his age, has astounding manoeuvrability.

    You roll 2, modified by your Quick +3 approach for a total of 5. Against the guard's difficulty value of 6, your shift is -1. The guard successfully blocks your attack and forcibly shoves you away.

    In the future, please make your descriptions of actions more like stories.

    Gwen's turn

    Gwen uses her Forceful +1 approach. Dice result is a 6, for a total of 7 and a shift of +1.

    Irritated by her failure, Gwen lunged at the guard and forcefully crossed swords at his throat. As he dropped to the floor with a *thump*, Gwen pushed off the ground at the second guard, swords drawn back and ready for their next victim.

    Reference

    I would advise you to turn the anti-crystallizing agent into another Aspect. Also, the purpose of the "Dragon DNA" aspect is a little unclear; I'd imagine it to be a simple "establishment-of-fact" aspect, but I can also imagine it to have practical uses.

    @everyone else

    You are free to make your own rolls. You are also free to roll before choosing the Approach you want to use; just remember that I will only allow those approaches that are valid for the situation.

    EDIT: We're at 6 story posts now. 4 more story posts to go before I put up the main thread.

    Bild des Benutzers Darkwatck

    Clarity

    The point of the Anti-Crystallizing agent is to help keep his blood from turning to well crystals. Think of a blood thinner that is given to people whos blood is too thick that are at risk of blood clots. Without the medication he will get these blood clots, but instead of being what we know as a blood clot it will crystallize and poke threw his skin causing, well do I have to give a visual here I am more then sure you just got one.

    Secondly, the reason he has this in his system was for an experiment in weapons development. Giving soldier's the ability to have stronger backs if you will. Not a Super soldier but more like giving them extra fire power/muscle power. The unseen side effects were the blood clot crystals. It did work however, he can take quiet a beating, the Dark Matter causes his blood which has coagulated to become rock hard like the crystal but as long as he keeps moving it won't stay like that for long.

    The only major problem is he has lost his mental stand point and suffers long term moments of insanity, controllable insanity. The DNA is whats effecting his body. (No he can't breath fire he is only human) So in a since he got all the straights of the body plus the extra energy of the Dark Matter being liquid in his body, but the down side is his mind being taken away from him. After all its Dark Matter, stuff crazy.

    Think of him like a tank, he take a lot of damage and relies on his quicker actions rather then his over all power of the mind. When he is sane Skotino will take full advantages of his learning and being a leader for so long has granted him.

    I will make changes to it of course, just tell me where but here is my reasoning for why it is currently. After all Skotino volunteered himself for the experiment in the first place to safe other soldiers he was leading at the time.

    Before I post...

    The system seems a bit intrusive; does every post require a roll? I'm sure we'll have character dev. breaks, but I guess I really don't mind.

    As a rule of thumb, a roll is warranted when both success and failure yield interesting results. This should filter out the trivial stuff.

    I feel like my existence is less existent.
    Also, the forums seem to be very inactive.

    Am I clear to start or should I wait for the thread to start up. After all it might be best to have Skotino in a safe place, not in a boss room. Silly Merc's.
