Dungeon Master! (OOC, Recruitment closed)

[Unradical Dude]

RECRUITMENT CLOSED!

Wanted
Five (5) evildoers of above-average ability or talent (preferably better, but we're stretched here) to aid a novice Dungeon Master in acts of evil, nefariousness, larceny, theft, murder, torture and tax evasion.

Minimum Requirements
Has at least two brain cells to rub together.

Responsibilites
As required by your Dungeon Master.

Pay
Solid gold, proportional to your success. Many opportunities for career advancement depending on your willingness to backstab people.

What's This?
It's an RP based loosely on the classic strategy/management game Dungeon Keeper. You will play as nefarious minions in the employ of your Dungeon Master, seeking to conquer a world of do-gooders and poncy heroes in the name of evil! I will take the five people in this RP, so if you're interested, post character sheets. If you don''t get picked, don't worry - you may be called upon if people drop out.

Have fun, and feel free to PM me if you need help with something

Setting

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The fantasy world of Gloriana is the most generically Tolkien you can imagine. Proud, arrogant humans, poncy elves, drunk dwarves, blah blah blah. All ruled over by the good King Antonius, of course.

It was not always thus. Before him, they lived in fear of the Dungeon Masters. Mages who desired power, wealth and a chance to live somewhere not insufferably twee, the Dungeon Masters had found a process to remove their spirits from their bodies and infuse them into "Dungeon Hearts", turning themselves into living caverns and dungeons beneath the surface of the earth. Rallying the downtrodden and overlooked races to their cause, they waged a campaign of war against the goodly heroes. Unfortunately, they lost. Banished to an otherworldy Astral Prison, they were forced to plot and scheme a way out.

Obviously they did. And the old saying of "evil prevails when good does nothing" holds true, as the insufferable Kingdom appear to have done nothing new in your absence. Time to show them what they've been missing.

Mechanics

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

This game is fairly mechanics light and story focused. I mean, we know what we're really here for.

Dice
If what you're doing doesn't have story consequences, or isn't interesting, then don't bother rolling. However, if it is, roll two six-sided dice and add them together.

• A seven or more is a Hit - you accomplish the thing you're trying to do.
• A ten or more is a Crit! Not only do you succeed, you get a bit extra too, and nobody can take it away from you.
• Sadly, a six or less is a Miss. You may have to make a hard choice to succeed. Or, if it's really bad, you'll be in a real pickle.

Approaches
"But what if my character is better at certain things?" I hear you cry. Well, that's where approaches come in. They're much like regular RPG attributes in that they say how good you are at certain things. When you roll and one of your approaches would apply, add the relevant number to your total. There are four approaches:

• WRATH - Smash things, break down doors, beat up heroes
• GUILE- Hide, outplay others, see through dastardly plans
• COLD - being undead or fearful, intimidate others
• HOT - persuade, seduce, be charismatic

You start the game with a +2 in one approach, a +1 in a second, a 0 in a third and -1 in the fourth. Assign them how you like, but be warned - that minus means you aren't great at that one thing.

You can't apply multiple approaches to a roll. Cheating is only allowed in-universe, mister.

Powers!
Oh yes, powers! You're all magical or skilled or what have you, after all. Powers let you succeed at something or do something special without rolling for it once. After using it, you can't use it again until you take a break (whatever this consists of is... up to your tastes) or until someone gives you a nice shot of reinvigorating magic. You begin with two powers, but have a chance to earn more.

Items
You always have whatever items it makes sense for you to have. Daggers and poisons for an assassin, lockpicks for a thief, spell-books for a cultist. Only record any items of note - nobody is too bothered about how many arrows you have, or how many rat bones you've collected.

Only cold hard gold is accepted in the dungeons. Since most lowly creatures can't count above ten, how much cash you have is rated on the below scale, in ascending order.

• Broke - flat broke. You better find some money, or steal some.
• Handful - enough for a few meals at the tavern or a hidden dagger.
• Purseful - enough to treat yourself to something nice, or a new weapon.
• Sackful - enough to start a raucous party, or get a suit of armor.
• Chestful - enough to retire and buy a nice cave. Except you can't. Get back to work!

Whenever you buy something equal to your current level of wealth, it drops to the one below. Buying stuff below your wealth level doesn't dent it - a purseful of gold will get you meals and board for the forseeable future.

Combat
When combat starts, enemies act first, and then players do. Player actions are resolved in the order people post in. Player characters get to make one attack, use a power, or do something else like open a door or sprint to the other end of the room.

Weapons and combat distances are generally abstracted - if you have a sword, you'll run up and hit them with a sword. If you have spells, cast fireballs and stuff!

When attacking someone, a Hit on a die roll will deal them Harm. Player characters can take five harm before being knocked out of the fight - either captured, rendered unconscious or just left unable to fight. NPC's generally take less. As a general rule:

• A HIT will deal harm but allow the foe to strike back.
• A CRIT will deal harm with no chance to retaliate.
• A Miss deals no harms and leaves you open.

You recover all harm after battle.

Species: Were-wolf

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Bio: Victor was once a simple farmer. Until the day something stole into his barn on a cold night. There he found a monster tearing his horses limb from limb. It fled when it noticed him, but not before its claws tore a grizzly wound into his shoulder. He passed out from blood lose within moments assuming he would never wake up. Remarkably he did awaken the next morning to find the wound was gone leaving only the faintest scar. A few days later the creature was strung up in front of town. Monster hunters had found it. Word spread that they had killed the local blacksmith who'd been grazed by the thing. The adventurers were still hanging around, and Victor was concerned they were looking for others the beast had hurt to do the same.

He decided to flee his home, but one of the adventurers had noticed his nervousness. Victor didn't notice he was being followed as he traveled. One evening the man came upon him. He thought he was done for until the full moon came up. Victor woke up the next morning to find the hunter eviscerate. He knew then that he could never live a quiet life again. What he needed now was a place where his bestial nature wouldn't be looked down upon.

She quickly began to interact with those who ventured into the woods. After awhile she would gain their trust before killing them when they thier back turned.

[exalted]

Name: Valeria
Species: Evil Bar Wench (Human)
Image:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Bio:

A former Damsel in Distress, Valeria got tired of heroes getting handsy after a rescue or expecting her to reciprocate affection for them. Noticing a position being advertised at a new dungeon, she stoved in the skull of the next hero to grope with a frying pan and packed her bag.

Valeria now multi-classes as a Bar Wench, working at the nearby tavern in town. Her role to drop hints to traveling heroes of about the dungeon and gather information about the heroes so her co-workers are better prepared. At times, or if the group of heroes seems uninterested, she gets conveniently kidnapped from the tavern to play her old role of Damsel in Distress.

And edited my thing above. If there's any changes need to be done, let me know.

[CondorBoH]

Oh boy, my first try for an RP on this forum!

Name: Argug.
Species: Oni
Image:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

If that doesn't work take the link. https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2147862
Bio: A creature native to underground caverns, Argug grew up in a small tribe of roaming warriors and bandits, raiding and pillaging to get by. She's not evil, per say, but has no morality nor care for the ramifications of her actions. At the end of the day, a good brawl is all she wants and needs, she doesn't care for who she fights, as long as they point her in the general direction of someone who needs a good smashing. Argug not only has two braincells to rub together, she has three! What she has in might she lacks in intelligence. The worth of gold and other shiny things she understands, but reading anything complex is beyond her. Either way, you tend not to need to be smart when you're over 7 feet tall and have a big club.
Turn-ons: Dominating, futa, orgies, most things with a big dick or tits that can put up a fight
Turn-offs: Submitting, scat/pretty much all the standard toilet related stuff, vore etc

You have: +2 +1 0 -1. Divide these amongst your four approaches:
Wrath: +2
Guile: -1
Cold: 0
Hot: 1

Powers (start with 2):
Bellowed Challenge (Taunt): Boy does she want to fight someone
Hunt (Tracker): Prey does not flee from her very easily.

Items:
Handful of Gold
Tiger-Patterned Bikini
A Kanabo (Generic Oni club)

[Randomizer4]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Name: Azerat the Betrayer
Species: Human Anti-paladin.
Image:

Bio: Azerat was born a normal boy. But he was destined for greatness, when his entire village got plundered and destroyed by an orc raid, he survived by hiding. When the local adventuring party found him, they dropped him off at a temple. There he was trained to become a paladin, and he was driven by a desire for revenge. He was taught combat skills, and everything else one would expect from a holy champion. Secretly, he began to hate his new life. Constantly, the priests and paladins of the temple tried to reign him in. They didn’t want Azerat to become too powerful. And they never let him go to search for the orcs that killed his friends and family. In the night, Azerat learned about the dark powers from the library, and after a great temple festival, he killed all the drunken paladins and clerics. Afterwards, the dark champion ravaged the surrounding lands, committing numerous atrocities. He is sluggish in his heavy armour, but when he reaches his enemy, there are few that dare stand before him, and even fewer who survive the event.
Turn-ons: What gets your little fiend's motor running? Azerat is very very evil. He likes to rape, plunder and loot. He is not that subtle, and delicate love-making isn’t his forte. He is a sadist at heart, and sometimes likes to torture his poor victims, although he isn’t that creative in his methods.
Turn-offs: What turns your character cold? The dark champion doesn’t fancy scatplay and necrophilia. And orcs, he hates orcs.

You have: +2 +1 0 -1. Divide these amongst your four approaches:

• Wrath +2
• Guile +0
• Cold +1
• Hot -1

Powers (start with 2): List your powers here.
Battlecry (taunt) - Azerat lets out a terrifying roar, amplified by his traces of dark magic. This makes him seem even more dangerous than he really is, attracting his opponents. (Assuming they don’t flee in the first place, but if they are willing to stand against the Betrayer, they probably have steel balls already)
Dark Armour (phase shift)- Azerat solidifies dark magic into an invisible barrier, making him practically immune for a while. The process requires extreme concentration on his part though, and he won’t be able to land any serious blows.


Items:
Plate armour: Azerat’s blacksteel plate armour.
Heater shield: Azerat’s shield, used for defending against blows and bashing things.
Bastard sword: Only someone with the strength and swordsmanship of Azerat can hope to wear this sword in one hand. It is just as effective as a greatsword though.
Crimson cape: Capes are cool.
A bit of gold: Getting all this dark equipment was expensive, leaving Azerat practically broke.

[Unradical Dude]

Right, this looks like a good motley crew! I'll take this lot. Hang in there and wait for the first post, ladies and gents.

[Unradical Dude]

Get to it, evildoers!

[VintageBass]

... No me? I edited my first post with my sheet...

[Randomizer4]

I think he may have confused you with Melissa? Or did I fail so hard that I didn't spot her sheet?

[VintageBass]

It's possible she did a sheet via PM, since I don't see one here, otherwise... yeah.

[CondorBoH]

I think you'd better PM Unradical to find out.
Also is there a specific order we post in or is everyone cool with a whatever order?

[Unradical Dude]

I'm really bad, it's VintageBass not Melissa. I've been reading other stuff and got confused!

Also post whenever, no big deal.
