Well, it's been... 2 months... since the last post here, so lets get that changed. This will be a mission based game for the most part.
Plot - Many years ago the world went through a terrible transformation; the ground shifted, storms raged, and people generally declared it the end of the world. It basically was for humans though, a lot of them died, unable to survive when the conditions worsened and many more died as creatures came about looking for food and they too have seemed to have changed much like the world did.
You are a member of the Guardians, a force created shortly after the diaster years ago with the intention of protecting humanity at all costs and eliminating all threats to their survival.

Name
Age
Gender
Appearance - What your character looks like.
Bio - Your character's history and anything else you want to share.
-- Stats --
Health - You have 100 health; though its sort of a technicality so you have a better idea of how well off you are. Most damage in this will be dealt sort of realisticly. ...Which is to say you can easily be killed in a bad hit or 2 if you're not properly defended.
(Out of 20)
Strength - Your physical strength; determines what equipment you can carry and use; and also adds to the damage you inflict with melee attacks. The total weight you can carry is your Strength x2.
Sense - Your senses. Lets you detect danger and see more when searching for something. In battle it helps with the accuracy of your attacks.
Agility - Your speed and reflexes; determines how quickly you can act and get out of danger.
Magic - An ability many became able to possess when the world underwent its transformation; its unknown what it actually is, but from its almost otherworldy power most people simply call it magic. You can create a magic ability for each 3 points you put in it. This also acts as MP, so if you use a magic ability it will reduce the amount of uses you have by 1 (You can also go for a stronger or weaker version that uses up more or less magic as well)
Spirit - Your willpower; helps you to keep going even against harsh odds and fight your hardest
at all times. (Chance to survive attacks / keep going if hit by status effects, critical hits)
-- Abilities --
You can create 4 non-magical abilities and a number of magical ones for every 3 points you have in your Magic stat. All abilities can either be things like specialized attacks or more generalized abilities; such as lockpicking, climbing, or superior skills when battling with a certain type of weapon or something. In the case of magic, general abilities are much weaker than a specialized spell.
You have 500 gold (...wow that really doesn't fit the setting at all, eh, whatever) to buy equipment and items.
===============================================================

Rations - Keeps you from starving. ...Yep. 10 for 10g.
Torch - A wooden torch. Can be lit on fire to be used as a source of light. ...If not for the fact it has practical purposes I would totally throw this into the weapon catagory were this some other game. 10g.
Bomb - Deals 250 damage in a small area; which will more or less instantly kill anything caught in the blast unless they're stupidly tough. Does a lot of structural damage and is very loud. 80g
Rope - ...Ordinary rope. And a lot of it at that. 20g
Magic Potion - A potion made from the strongest magical sources available; which is to say anything glowing. Restores your magic to full. 50g
Lockpicks - Lets you try and open up locks. 5 for 20g.
I'm being pretty lazy with the items, so if you think there should be something else that isn't there then just ask for it.
Also, if anyone has any questions on anything feel free to ask about them.

Neat game, but the weight for equipment seems very high.
Name: Kino
Age: 24
Gender: M
Appearance - Kino is short, but well built. He has black hair, a scruffy beard and dark green eyes.
Bio - Kino comes from a small village which was destroyed in the disaster. Ever since, he's made a living working as a tracker, a hunter, guide and a bodyguard for the Guardians. He's introverted and is struck by wanderlust. He never stays in the same place for long, and he loves to explore. He's very cautious and will usually flee or attempt to negotiate before turning to combat. If he can't do either, he'll attempt to attack from a distance, deter his opponent, or knock his opponent opponent out. He hates to kill, but hates the thought of dying even more.
-- Stats --
Strength -5
Agility - 3
Sense - 2
Magic - 6
Spirit - 4
-- Abilities --
Normal Skills
Warrior: Kino is an expert Marksman, very skilled with a blade and hand to hand combat (grappling and martial arts).
Hunter: Kino is skilled at tracking and stealth. He doesn't get lost very easily.
Athlete: Kino may not be particually strong or agile, but he has very good endurance, and is skilled at swimming, climbing and hiking cross-country.
Sixth Sense: Kino's natural senses aren't great, but all of the time he's spent in the wilderness and in the guardians organization has given him a sort of sixth sense when it comes to danger, magic. He's also a very light sleeper.
Magical Skills
Air Magic: Kino can control air and wind in any area in his line of sight. Tiran can use this magic to allow himself to fly, float, or hover at will.
Force Magic: Kino can use magical energy to attack, defend or create objects. The objects created are permanent, but cannot be magical, and cannot be repaired. (If that's too much, half durability for objects should be a good trade-off.)
Equipment (total weight:
Wand (410gp)
Revolver (Do I need to worry about Ammo?) (330gp)
Mage's Robe (270gp)
Buckler (250gp)
Iron Shield (230gp)
Leather Boots (200gp)
2 Magic Potions (100gp)
2 sets of 10 rations (80gp)
Rope (60gp)
I'll keep the rest of my gp for a little extra cash if I need it in a town or something.

Name: Diego
Age: 26
Gender: M
Appearance - Stands around six feet, with long, unruly blonde hair. Beautiful cyan eyes. He wears a mustard colored jacket that matches his pants over a black sleeveless shirt.
Bio - Diego Brangwin was born a cold blooded killer. All of his life he's had a twisted view on life, getting a sick twisted pleasure out of torturing other living things. As the disasters unfolded, he found himself sickeningly delighted by the chaos, not even batting an eye when his parents were devoured by the events. He took the total discord as a chance to murder those forsaken. It was okay, wasn't it? It was the inevitable. However, it wouldn't do. He would die were he to remain out there on his own. Fortunately, he discovered "The Guardians". An organization to protect humanity? Why would they want to do that? Humans are wretched things, let the world burn! Ah well, they offer him a place to sleep and meals to eat ... They wouldn't know the difference, would they?
-- Stats --
Strength - 2
Sense - 2
Agility - 4
Magic - 9

-- Abilities --
- [Normal] -
Magician: Diego is a skilled caster, and not much else. As a result, his skill with magic is significantly increased while wielding something he can channel his magic into (Staff, Wand)
Bluff: Diego is an excellent liar. He can get people to believe even outrageous things.
Defensive: Diego isn't skilled with fists, but what he can use them for is disabling an opponent who got too close, or even catching a stray projectile, should his luck perk up.
Sneak: Diego is a friend of the shadows, and can often times drop in on people unnoticed. Also helps him pickpocket.
- [Magic] -
XXI - The World: Diego is capable of manipulating time, but considering how strenuous this task is, the manipulation is quite limited. He is capable of slowing down, hasting, or briefly stopping small areas or individuals.
XII - The Hanged Man: Throws several knives out of a pocket in the air, the area it covers can be wide or narrow.
VI - The Lovers: Drains health from a target.
Equipment:
Wand (+3 MP/Day) WG: 1
Mage Robe (+2 MP/Day) WG: 0
Buckler (100 HP) WG: 2
Leather Boots (+1 AG) WG: 1
2 Magic Potions
20 Rations
Gold : 130

Yeah... Weight is a bit much. I planned for it to be a balancing factor between the stats, but I doubt I did it that well. Next game I do I'll have to remember not to bother with stuff like that. ;/
...And speaking of weight, I'm having the total you can carry be 3x your strength; since I sort of forgot to give a weight to the Mage robes and I didn't want to delay this any further. (since otherwise RU would have to change his stats in order to carry everything he had).
Anyway, I finally stopped being lazy and put all of your topics up. If you still want to change anything about your characters then feel free too.
