Revival of Darkness

[KirbyBoy2000]

Well, I'm back I guess, As long as I don't get bored of this severely I'll continue to update this I suppose. Its a story RPG, hopefully it will go by better than my last try at one... Anyway, to the story.

Plot: Legends say, that long in the past heroes rose up to face a dark force, that threatened the lives of all creatures on the earth. Time passed, and civilizations began to prosper, slowly forgetting about the events of the past. Eventually, through the study of magic, the people of the world were able to travel past their world into the worlds of others. In those worlds they met several races, many with civilizations similar to theirs. They appeared to be in harsh times, similar to those faced by them ages ago. Many decided they did not wish to face the monsters of the worlds, and returned. However, when they returned, it seemed as though the darkness followed them, as the creatures became more hostile, and soon entire civilizations began to fall. The times looked grim, but then...

Nuria - A pacifistic race that lives in isolation from most of the others, primarily in the world of Ossimir, though among many of the other regions as well.

Their nature has developed so well that they are born wise and kind.

- - - Notes and Stuff - - -

General Notes
- Along with your basic stats you also have 100 Energy. This is reduced slowly through travelling and some abilities. Energy is increased mainly through rest or through eating. When it hits 0... you kind of pass out I suppose.

Battle Notes
- Battles are done on a field with multiple squares with special terrain and obstacles. You may act twice per turn, either using a movement or one of your actions(like an attack or skill). With a movement you may move 3 squares at once, or you could run, however that uses up 3 energy.
- Battle Order is determined by Dexterity. If ones Dexterity is greater than double that of another, that person will get another attack before the other person.
- Evasion is based off of deterity, for each point an opponents dexterity is below you they get -1 to accuracy(Out of 20 points total for accuracy). If their dexterity is higher, then you will lose evasion instead of them losing accuracy.

- - Battle Conditions
Aerial - +10 evasion against melee attacks, -5 evasion against ranged attacks. Takes extra damage against lightning and wind attacks, though is uneffected by earth and plant attacks.
Aquatic - +2 Dexterity and +1 Movement while on water terrain. Takes extra damage from cold and lightning based attacks.

Runic Sphere: Creates one orb that follows an enemy in battle. If caster chooses to, it will gain more power at the cost of the caster's energy and the turn. Caster can increase the orb's power only a certain amount of times and the caster must use a turn to actually use the orb and hurt the enemy.
Runic Spear: Creates one spear from magical enemy that can be used up close or thrown as a projectile for physical damage. For extra MP, the caster can charge the spear with an element of choice and make spear use magical damage.

Age : 22
Gender : Male
Race : Citos

STATS: (Didn't add in race stats)
Strength - 1
Constitution - 2
Intelligence - 2
Wisdom - 2
Dexterity - 3

Abilities - Begin with 3 custom skills.
-Arcane Sight: Detects sources of magic. By concentrating, the direction the magic is in, the strength of it, and what type it is can be determined. Lasts until I stop concentrating on it.

-Barrier: Extends around me in a 2 square radius. Has 3 modes, which can be changed as a free action. Magic-block, Force Field and Aura.

Magic-block: Blocks all magic from damaging me, but prevents me from casting any other spells.

Force Field: Prevents objects and people from entering the area, but prevents people inside from moving out.

Aura: Steals enemy health, but saps energy every round. (Not MP, the 100 energy you mentioned.

-Shatter: Causes material objects to shatter in a manner similiar to glass. It can cause damage to someone wielding or wearing the object, or by breaking something they're standing on or above them. Shatter can either be directed at a single object, with an almost perfect chance of working (Magical or enchanted objects have less than half the chance of being shattered though) or spread among several objects in an area. Each object besides the first makes any particular object less likely to be broken. For something big and tough like a wall it's similar. Blasting a hole is easy, blasting the whole wall is hard. Sacrificing energy or MP makes it more likely to succeed as well.
