Forums » Looking for RP » (Serious RP!) Winter Wasteland (closed)

Once upon a time, the Earth was living in prosperity, and everyone was living in peace. But disaster reared its ugly head. The Earth was soon turned into a snowball, causing a new ice age. Oceans frozen, connecting all of the worlds together. The world's inhabitants were forced to live underground, and to come out only when the time was right. Fortunately, luck was on the animals and residents side. Most of the animals have adapted and evolved to the harsh winters and inhabitants were able to set up small villages around the world, communicating through radios. For years has passed the world have lived in a peaceful state, with these harsh conditions, but others were getting restless, wars started to break out and soon, the Earth was divided into three parts. Between the north and south poles, the neutral zone. This place mainly inhabitants merchants, quarries, all led by a very powerful man and a large army. Much bigger than the other's armies combined. With deadlier weaponry. To the east, live the smartest of the residents. These were mainly scientist, builders, and engineers. They are the ones who want to rebuild the world, back to what it was. Onto the west, lived the brutes. Hard as ice and with massive army's, all trained through the harsh winters. They are much more beasts, then humans. Relying on old primitive traits then rational thinking. The world might go to war again. But it is unsure. But even with all of the advances, there are still beasts and monsters who roam the world, threatening the lives of everyone who lives on the earth.

For so long I've tried to improve on this. I still know there's something missing. But I don't know yet. Until then, it is an unfinished plot. I want to try it out. But I need people who will stay committed to it! Don't just say you will join, then never show up! Magic, tech, and fighting is all part of this. The combat will be different though. Instead of saying, "I hit the dwarf in the face, making him fall back." We will be following rules! (Yay...)

1. NO instant attacks! This means the example up above. "I hit the dwarf in the face, making him fall back." All attacks will depend on two things. The speed of the player, and speed of the opponent. If you are faster then your opponent, then he/she must take the attack or block. If you are faster then the attacker, then you can dodge. If you are evenly matched, then you can dodge, but you must take a hit or block every once in a while. (In order to be fair.)
2. Powerful magic/skills must be charged! This means you take one rp turn in order to attack with it. Example,
I charge up my thunderbolt.
I ready to block the attack.
I release the devastating attack!
Of course, it will have more detail than that. If you can.
This does not include any weapons or magic attacks that you use as your primary attack. Such as basic magic attacks and basic weapons.
3. No, OP, characters! (nor attacks) This means gods or god-like powers or attacks. This does not mean your attacks cannot be named like divine strike or something like that. Just no god powers.
4. How much damage all comes down to how strong your character is. Like, if he can pull the earth together from keeping the world from splitting, then I think they can take a very big hit. Or, it can come down to armor. Like Iron armor. It can deflect most of the damage, but you will take some. The stronger you are, the more damage you can take. Unless you make something that your character can take big hits, yet is weak and slow, that is fine. Same with an attack, if they can punch a mountain and make it move, I think they can hit pretty hard. Or if they have any weapons, guns or swords etc. This can effect attack as well. Again with effects of your character, they can hit hard but is not that tough. Its all about balance!

I think that is it. Sorry for being so long, but this will be my first serious rp, and I want it to be good. We will start when we get close to the max amount of players.
