Some time ago... Like a really long time ago... A very very very long time ago... You get the point.
People baked cakes. Say like... A bajillion years ago or something.

There existed two clans. The Pancupcake Clan, and the Nocturne Clan. Both of which used Dark Magik. Also, they hated each other. They absolutely abhorred each other's existence because they were so different. The Pancupcake clan used Dark Magik for cakes and the Nocturne Clan used it for evil.

You are some people of the Pancupcake Clan who sell cakes to neutral citizens for moneyz, which is dollars because screw gold!

Everyone has a base of 20 in every stat, which are HP, AP, ATK, and MAG.
You have 5 points which you can distribute among these stats. If you don't like a certain stat you can subtract up to 5 points from other stats.

You also need a starting weapon, which can be a: Sword, Shortblade, Six-shooter, Shortbow, Crossbow, Heavy Club, Staff, or Stick.

And you need a starting skill and a class.
Make up your own skill and class I'm not doing it for you.

And a name.
Lastly, you need an Astral Sign. Because those are cool. The available Astral Signs are:
Sign of the Dragon
Sign of the Firefly
Sign of the Horse
Sign of the Potato
Sign of the Philippine Tarsier
Sign of the Orange
Sign of the Serpent
Sign of the Wolf

Name: "Deep Vulture"
(Is commonly referred to as "D.")

Stats:
HP: 20
AP: 25
ATK: 15
MAG: 25

Class: Courier
Starting weapon: Six-shooter
Astral Sign: Sign of the Orange

Starting skill:
Friend from the Beyond:

D. has familiarship over a juvenile eldritch being, which manifests itself as 200 liters of amorphous black sludge lined with glowing blue "veins."
D. shares a telepathic link with the creature, of which the two can use to communicate and perceive each other's senses through.
The familiar has the ability to take control of machinery, granted that its volume is enough to interface with whatever it is trying to control.
At the start of adventure, the being is bonded with the control systems of an unarmed helicopter that D. uses for transportation and delivery.
The familiarship however, is damaging towards D.'s sanity.

Are you planning on doing a lamp origin story, or should I be the one doing that?

Two players are needed to start the game. Unless D. Vulture thinks he can start this himself.

Name: Man Cursealot (Man)
Age: 42
Stats
HP 20
AP 20
ATK 30
MAG 15
Weapon: Heavy Club
Class: Guard/Baker
Skill: Baseball Champion
During battle, Man can use a random object (rock or baseball) to hit the enemy. When melee attacking, he has a chance to get a Homerun, which increases damage and stuns the enemy for 1-2 turns. There's a smaller chance Man gets an "Out of the Park" which deals incredible damage. But that happens rarely.

Sign: Sign of the Dragon.

Markelu has too much(Five) points, and has to reconsider his options by washing his face in the bathroom.
Man is the loyal ancestor of some other guy I think his name was Malik or something.
D.Vulture is... A courier. Woohoo.
I haven't decided on what the Astral Signs actually do so they'll have no effect right now.

You are in the town of [Insertcreativenamehere]. It is neutral between the conflicts of the two clans, but the populace will happily buy cake from your store.

The shop stock right now is...
Dolladollabills - $3.00
Okay Slice x4

A customer with...
Brown Hair, Dumb Face, Absurd Brown Shirt, Equally Absurd Pants
Comes into your store. "Hi! What's for sale?"

If you recognize this customer from two previous days, you will learn his name.
If you say the customer's name when they're ordering a cake, you get extra money.

Name: After using a random name generator once, I have decided that I will be "Ville".

Stats:
HP: 17
AP: 21
ATK: 15
MAG: 32
Class: Psychic Baker

Starting weapon: Stick
Astral Sign: Sign of the Firefly

Starting skill:
Psychic Soda™ Blast:
Ville can take out a Psychic Soda™ can from seemingly nowhere, shakes it, and shoots it into an ally's mouth. The Psychic Soda™ heals the target and gives them an AP buff with a chance of a small MAG buff.

Psychic Soda™ Blast can also be used as a weapon with the use of Psychic Soda Coffee™ (That's Somehow Still Soda) by aiming it at an enemy's body, shooting it, and boosting it's velocity using psychic powers. Psychic Soda Coffee™ (That's Somehow Still Soda) has a chance of either knocking people over (AP debuff for the turn), cause stains (gives STAINED status effect, which does nothing), or cause burns (damage over time). Even if it's velocity is boosted by psychic powers, it is still Psychic Soda Coffee™ (That's Somehow Still Soda), so it doesn't do that much damage.

Rather then being able to miss, all Psychic Soda™ has a small chance of being replaced with Psychic Baking Soda™ (the same as its chance to miss), which causes nothing to happen other than cause Psychic Baking Soda™ to spill all over the ground.

We're in Creatopolis. Why did I name it like that, not sure. Unless we're talking about Incognites. But Creatopolis is better.

"Oh cool, how much do those cost?" It occurs to the group that they haven't put a price on their pastries yet. How ridiculous.
However, the store sells Cake Mix for $3.00 each, and you can bake 2 slices per mix.

Ville the Psychic Baker has joined the team.

Ville quietly suggests to the group that the price be set at $2.50.

He then writes down the customer's features in his handy dandy notebook.

The customer heard Ville talking, and magically pays for the cake slice.
$5.50, OkaySlice(3)
"Thank you!"

Another customer comes into the store. He has...
Black hair, square glasses, Dark Grey parka, and black shorts
Additionally, he appears to be eating some cracker-stick with three fourths of it chocolate covered. "Heya, I think I'll have... 2 slices of... Cake I guess?"

By the way, there's a helipad on top of the shop for Deep's civilian helicopter. Deep's pet sludge is probably stuffed in his pocket or something.

D. is sitting at a reception desk where a telephone is placed, playing games on his own cell phone while awaiting the ringings of a delivery order. He looks awkwardly out of place, wearing a flight helmet and combat gear while still inside the shop. But that is because he always has to be ready, as orders can come at a moment's notice!

It's not like he ever takes off his helmet, anyways.

A book falls on Markelu's head.

Vulture's head twitches towards the ringing phone in anticipation. With eagerness, the pilot kicks the ankles he was resting atop the desk to spin the chair he is sitting on, returning his legs to floor, pocketing his cell phone, and picking up the telephone in one efficient motion.
"Hello, this is the Pancupcake Signature® bakery delivery service, home to all the cupcakes... because that is our name!" D. chimes into the phone in a dorky manner. "How may I take your order?"

"Mista Vulture, right?" The caller sounded like some sort of gang thug wearing a fedora. "This is Mikey of Pancupcake's leadership. We've just been informed of your arrival in this generic town and we're thinking of sending you some supplies to help ya get started."

If you say No Thanks to the supplies, an event will happen later.

Markelu now has...
HP 21
AP 15
ATK 28
MAG 21
He reads the book. The pages are all blank, and there are exactly 400 pages in the book.

D.'s face blanks in disappointment.
"Yes sir, this is Deep Vulture reporting," he say in an authoritative yet boring monotone. "We are indeed successful in starting up a franchise in this generic town. Business has been going smooth so far, no conflicts have arisen yet."

"...You may send those supplies in our direction," D. accepts with slight reluctance.

D. then tries to remember just who Mikey was.

Hi Parrot

D. continues to stare at the parrot for a few minutes, until a voice at the back of his mind tells him to stop staring at it.
"...Huh? ...Recruit?" the pilot mutters out loud.

Vulture reaches into one of the pouches adorning his harness and pulls out an orange he was saving for a snack. After peeling the skin, he offers a slice to the to parrot.

"Pretty bird!" The parrot snatches the slice with it's beak and scarfs the whole thing down.

A customer comes to the store.
He has Black hair, square glasses, dark grey parka, and black shorts.
"Hey, do you have anything other than plain slices?"

"I wonder if that parrot is referring to me when it says "pretty bird," considering my codename," D. muses in his thoughts.

"Ya' know, I've taken a liking to you!" D. tells the parrot. "I'm going to give you a name. How 'bout I call you, uh... "Recruit!" Yeah, Recruit!"

"You have some really uninspired naming conventions," chides the voice at the back of the pilot's mind.
"Shut it, Chopper," D. harps back at his friend from the beyond.
~~~~~
"I'm sorry, but you have us mistaken," D. responds (almost condescendingly) to the customer. "We don't sell any plain slices here. All that we do sell are okay slices. At the moment, at least."

"Well, what do you suggest we sell?" Vulture asks the customer.

((I am probably going to stop responding as frequently. I hate how it seems like I am the only one playing this game.))

"I guess i'll have an okay slice, then." the customer says.

The parrot flies over to Markelu and stands on his head. "Rawk! Rock!"

"Now that's quality!"

D. appears idle as he listens in on the whispers echoing inside his skull.
"Oh, so they're just cakes with candles on them," he flatly blurts out loud.

D. takes a candle from the candlebox and shoves it into the frosting of an okay slice, which he then slides in front of the customer on a plate.

"4 bucks," the pilot lazily demands.
