In a realm where all matter of creatures exist, where beings of unimaginable strength walk the earth, there exist relics forged from the dawn of time, artefacts that grant its wielder control of the elements.

This is Gleemax. This is the Elemental Awakening.



-----

The man waited patiently at the Crossroads of Twilight, his composure calm and collected. One of the rare multiplanar intersections, the crossroads were littered with the ruined portalstones of ages past, marks from the ancient journeymen. Some still functioned, and it was through them that the man hoped to reach out to those who heard his call, who understood his message, who felt the urge to seek out power and the wisdom to wield it.

The Qwaserelics would be unearthed, he would make sure of it.

Hello! I'm Glare, GM of Gleemax Roleplaying, and seTiny has kindly approved us to host a promotional game here.  Gleemax Roleplaying is a RPing forum, but it uses a freeform system instead of a d20-based one - 

Homebrew Rules

• Freeform Roleplaying system (aka no dice rolling, etc)
• No godmodding, no metagaming, no asspulling
• No time travelling, no invulnerability
• Play fair

Players: I'll start once I have 4-6 players, but I'm ready to have up to 20 players.  Just post a character sheet here, and once it's approved you can hop right into the quest. There's no need for numbers in the character sheet since it's a freeform RP system - you just need to convey your intentions clearly. No limits on character creation, except that it can't be overpowered.

1. Minamitsu_Murasa: Owen "Vertigo" Vant
2. badguy6: William Drake
3. Just_a_cleric: Cirte "Cirno" Nebuna

Setting: We'll be hopping around between multiple planes, one being the Gleemax setting and the rest being parallel planes (some small portions of the game will be conducted in the Gleemax RP group). Characters are recommended to be resilient to relatively harsh environmental conditions, and to be on the more powerful end of the spectrum (not Gods, though). Roughly Level 15 in the d20 system.

The ingame thread is up! This is still open to any players who wish to play, just post a character sheet here!

You couldn't have waited for my promo to fill could you Glare?

I've approached seTiny about this roughly 2 months ago, plus he didn't mention anything about any conflict of interests. This is a roleplaying game, so it shouldn't affect yours much anyway.

(BTW, I can't access Px2 again, hence the inactivity)

There shouldn't be any conflict. The two are different play styles and there is enough of a player base that there should be (at least in theory) interest in both games.

I just figured only so many players will be willing to try something new at any one time.

Is there anything I can do to help you gain access?

Could you post an example of what a character sheet should be? I'm gonna see what this is like too. Branch out on what I do here

This would be a good guide. It's a list of players from Gleemax - clicking on any of their names will lead you to their character sheets. It's recommended that you pitch your PC's power level at roughly Elite-tier (or Level 10-15 in DnD if I'm not mistaken), or at the very least ensure that they have the means to survive rather harsh environments.

@ stinky: I'm quite sure the problem is on my end. It's the same reason why I was on hiatus previously.

Bounty Hunter supports this.  And is IN

Bounty Hunter approves of all cross group games that bring the coummunities together.

Bounty Hunter also approves up jumpstarting activity as much as possible. 

Talking about cross-group games, someone actually tried an RP-mafia game in the Gleemax forums, but it kinda burned out due to lack of commitment. IRC RP-mafia is awesome though, especially if you're RPing a bimbo.

Well maybe we can tie some of these groups together like the old days.  Instead of everyone living in their little pockets.

I might have spread some shameless advertising threads for this through out the boards.  So...yeah

well it seems to me that free form roleplaying is not a whole lot different than the games you played as a kid where everyone had superpowers and such. I've got some ideas and I checked out the wiki to see what it looks like. Will our character designs be public knowledge? 

@Badguy: I never finished a freeform RP mafia game, but it will look something like one of these games: community.wizards.com/paranoia/go/forum/...
Except instead of talking openly we roleplay our actions and discussion.

it looks like something I've seen on another website. I'm thinking of joining in on a mafia game now. lol

We haven't had a successfully completed Quest in quite awhile, but here's a slightly older one. This is newer, but incomplete due to inactivity.

@ energeticpenguin: Yeps, it'll be public knowledge, like all character sheets in RA (and most PbP games)

Here's the RP-mafia thread if you're curious, BTW.

Name: Owen Vant
Alias: "Vertigo"
Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Appearance: A young elven man with pale skin, cold blue eyes, and  straight, bright orange waist-length hair. At more than 6 feet in height  he is exceptionally tall for an elf. Owen wears a flashy red-and-blue  checkered suit and a matching feathered hat. A small pistol seemingly  made entirely of light hangs at his belt, along with a few curious glass  orbs and several knives.

Personality: Owen is a very showy person. He is meticulous in his  appearance, taking pains to avoid dirtying his suit in a fight, using  his hat of disguise to hide any stains that occur until he has a chance to clean it. He always makes a point to act as dramatically as possible, leading some to find him comical at best, and profoundly annoying at worst. As long as people are paying attention to him, however, Owen doesn't particularly care about what they think. He likes to toy with opponents he considers to be of no threat, but this can sometimes be his weakness, as he has a tendency to underestimate people.

Powers: Owen's primary ability is his supernatural quickness and  dexterity. Once he challenged a swordsman to a duel, and proceeded to  fight unarmed, relying purely on his ability to dodge each blow to keep  himself from being killed. This continued until his opponent collapsed  from exhaustion after several hours. Only then did Owen draw his gun and  end the duel.
His second ability is to alter the perceptions of those creatures he  comes into physical contact with. Owen can shift the focus point of a  creature's senses up to twenty feet away from the actual location of  their sensory organs, even through walls or inside of objects. This can  be incredibly disorienting to his opponents. He especially likes to use  this power to show his defeated enemies themselves from his own point of  view, right before he kills them.
Finally, Owen has the ability to tap into the senses of any being he has  come into contact with in the past week. He can see what they see, hear  what they hear, even taste the food that they eat, no matter how much  distance separates him from his unwitting spy. However, this ability  does not work across planar boundaries, and Owen can only recieve input  from one of each sense at a time, including his own.

Possessions: Hat of Disguise, Brilliant Energy Pistol, 4 Etherbombs, 6 daggers

In with Owen "Vertigo" Vant

Need character info. Think approval, just that I'm not gonna rank anything. Hopefully this can serve as a good example for the others.

It does. Shall make an idea later

Name: William Drake
Alias: Will
Alignment: lawful neutral

Appearance: Will stands at 5'9" and doesn't look very tough. From where he comes, a human his size isn't expected to do much. He has green eyes and dark colored hair that is nearly black. When not wearing his armor, Will looks like the youngest in the family of Nobles. In his armor however, every eye stares at him. He has a suit of full plate that is dark green and has gold around it's edges. A longsword is in a sheath on his back and he generally keeps his shield on his back as well.

Personality: Will is willing to do whatever it takes to get his job done, if it's within the law if the side he's hired. A merc for both good and evil, Will only obeys laws when he works for that side. He is usually very quiet but once you begin to talk to him he opens up. He considers all of the people he travels with as family and is willing to talk about anything with them. Having lost his family to wars, he does bot prefer his siblings are mentioned.

Powers: Will is a skilled swordsman and spellcaster. He is also trained to heal and heals all of his wounds. He was taught how to swordfight by his father and oldr brother. After a few years of training, he went from losing all spars, to taking both of them down quickly. He learned spellcasting from his sister. She enchanted his Sword to change into any other blade should he wish to, and to summon his armor from anywhere if he needed it or wanted it. She also taught him a few spells. He could shoot magic missiles from his fingertips and store up energy for a burst of magic. The only flaw in his spellcasting was that he can't in armor. If he is wearing his armor, the only thing he can do is change his blade. This leaves him open for attacks if he wants to use spells

Items: Dynamic longsword(can change it to other blades), Shield, summoned full plate, logbook(to write his adventures down), some gold coins.

Now if only energeticpenguin & Bounty.Hunter can submit their character sheets, we can start. 

Name: Ned Schills
Alias: Mr. Awesome
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Apearance: He's small of frame and stands at a mighty 4'5".  

uh more when I think of it. 

I'll hop in for a bit as well most likely.
Expect something after I sleep.

Whichever one survives better.

@ energeticpenguin: I'm guessing that's not your final version, is it? XD

That depends on your definition of 'survive'

Caster is more ... flexible / problem solver / adaptive

Brute is ... well ... he carrys a big stick , and has lots of armor

Go caster. I'm already walking around in full plate

This is my first creation like, ever. So don't be afraid to let me know if stuff needs to change.

Name: Cirte Nobuna
Alias: Cirno
Alignment: Neutral good

Appearance:  As a 4'9" tall half-fey half-human, she is quite slender.
With light-blue hair and eyes she stands out from a crowd. Her light-blue night gown is a bit too big for her figure, but as a keepsake from her mother she cannot part with it.
She wears a necklace made of silver and a round locket. Inside the locket is a picture of a dear friend she lost.
On her back she keeps a quiver of arrows and a shortbow.

Personality: Cirte is quite seclusive and skitterish. After losing her best friend at an early age by being trampled in a rampaging crowd, she has shyed away from overly crowded places.
She tries to keep her gown as clean as possible, much preferring to stand near the exit of a building or in the back of an adventurous group, making sure there won't be too much grime on it.
She also tends to hover slightly while standing, looking 5'1", so the gown just doesn't reach the ground anymore.
She keeps to herself and has a hard time really opening up to people, often derailing conversations about herself. She may come across as quite cold, but inside she has a small heart.

Powers: As partly fey, she specializes as cryomancer. As partly human, she utilizes shortbows.
This combination allows her to pick off enemies from afar, whilst keeping an area of about 4 foot around her cold enough to hamper opponents that would come too close. Allowing her to flee if the enemy doesn't resist cold enough.
Having trained as a cryomancer since a very early age, her natural weakness to heat has been reduced to a minimum. She is no more susceptible to heat than a random human. Besides this, she has all the natural cryomancer spells at her command.
If she is out of arrows, she can create magical arrows. These have a slight cold attribute.
However, she is only specialized in cold, making her quite useless against enemies which have a strong cold resistance, and will need to rely on her teammates for that.

Items: Shortbow, Quiver of arrows, Necklace, several gold coins.

Alrighty so

A super fast guy with a gun, a swordsman with some spellcasting, a fey cryomancer, a penguin and a bounty hunter walk into a bar.

I suppose I do the Dementia Summoner, every party needs a selfish **** who flings death around.

Welcome to roleplaying.

Anyway, guys, you don't need to follow Niek's (that's Minamitsu_Murasa) character sheet strictly. For example, he's the only player I know who gives aliases to his PCs. And alignment isn't necessary (he just added 'cuz it's a 3.5/4e dominant forum I guess), so if you're not that familiar with DnD just omit it. You can find a list of character sheets here BTW (some aren't magic-related though).

Seeing how it's a fellow Touhou fan, judging by the name, I felt it appropriate

Well glare, it's a really nice setup. And It was very helpful

sorry, cant think of anything and im not interested anymore.

Wut?

Why? 

Awz.

BH, please do up your character sheet quickly, I don't want to lose more people.

Hardly been online this week.  Drowning in **** to do at work.  Coulda started and I woulda caught up to yall.  Full character description will be posted within two hours.

Name: Dredge
Age : 23
Gender : Male
Race : Human 
Class : Dementia Summoner

== Appearance ==
A tall slender man in his early twenties, but also with notable athleticism. He has short black hair, brownish green eyes, and a series of tribal tattoos starting at his right wrist and trailing all the way up to the base of his neck.

Dredge wears a suit of dark leather armor over which he wears a long black coat that nearly reaches the ground. Atop his head rests a set of small metal goggles fitted with purple lenses visible through metal slits.

At his waist he wears a thin chain in place of a belt, on which he carries a small dagger dangling at his left, and a small metal cage 'incense burner' at his right. A thick purple smoke slowly trails from the vents in the incense burner.

== Personality ==
Dripping with dry and witty sarcasm, Dredge isnt afraid to throw out a joke when it would otherwise be frowned upon nor is he above taunting an opponent in combat with petty jests.  Dredge enjoys chaos and chance, and on several occasions has made major choices based on nothing more than a coin flip.

== Abilities ==
As a dementia caster Dredge is capable of summoning nightmarish creatures from his memories.  Rather than focus on direct combat magics, he's learned multiple affliction spells to curse and inhibit his opponents as well a few enchancement spells to augment his summoned minions.

Even though he caries a dagger Dredge has little in the way of actual combat skills,  and though he's athletic and agile he posses minimal actual strength and can easily be overpowered.

== Inventory ==
Small Dagger, incense burner and Dragons Blood, a lucky coin and a set of ivory dice.

Hey guys, I gotta study for exams, will be back in 2-3 days. Wait for me!

Says the guy that was rushing me

Such a hater Glare lol

And suddenly ... all across the boards activity died.

Last exam tomorrow, so will get up the IC thread tomorrow!

The ingame thread is up!

This is still open to players, if you wish to signup!

Oh no. I just thought of a new idea for a character and I can use it on my current one unless I find a way to explain how will knows how to charm monsters, then catch the monster in a magical bottle.

Just post the character sheet. I'm fine with multiple characters, if you are able to handle them.

I think I could do it. I just need to make sure I don't banter with myself. Will make later. Gotta get the personality thought of

Name: Gary 
Alignment: unaligned
Race: Human

Appearance: Gary has dirty blonde hair that is kept in a messy fashion. His clothing actually looks quite modern, with jeans and shirt. He where's a jacket that is sleeveless over that shirt, and has a side bag on him. On his belt are custom made bottle that he can detach very easily. He is only eleven years old and just starting out on his adventure. 

Personality: He has a never give up personality and does what he can to win a battle. He acts kind to the monsters in the bottles, even when they lose a fight. He gets along easily with others and is always up for adventure. He'd rather travel with others then alone. 

Powers: When he came to be eleven, he was given the six bottles on his belt. They are made to self repair and to hold monsters in them. He got to choose one monster, and that is the only monster with him. When he wants to capture a new monster, all he has to do is charm it, then catch it in a bottle. The one monster he has is a small red dragon. But he knew it would grow in time. He uses his monsters to fight for him, so he tries to command them from the side. 

Items: 6 custom capture bottles, 1 monster(dragon)


Wasn't much later. Lol

Name: Steven Laurier O'Dowd
Age: 32
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Class: Outlaw/Gunslinger

Background: Show

Steven hails from a state in Mexico, circa 1825, by the name of Coahuila y Tejas. Back in his own time, he was an outlaw and a gunslinger. If it were not for the mysterious events surrounding his death, he likely would have had an air of legend behind him that followed and pervaded Texan culture. He would have been among the first to shun the Mexican regime, and would have offered up arms and his men to the battle at Goliad- which he himself would have been unable to participate in, seeing as he would have been serving time in a Louisianan jail under the alias Jack Ripman -and stormed the streets of San Jacinto alongside Sam Houston. But as it were, Steven O'Dowd, the legendary Twatha Daye ( Tuatha dè ) of the South, vanished from Mexico a mere matter of months before the initial hostilities between the Texican rebels and the armies of Santa Anna. It was at that point that all who had previously feared him, or called him leader, or had written about his daring deeds had simply forgotten about him. He fell out of Mexico, fell out of memory, and was erased from history.

Although of profound Irish background, Steven is the bastard son of a Mexican haberdasher, who, one late, drunken night, raped an Irish nun. She fell out of the abbey, and, carried on the hospitality of the community, raised her son on the myths and legends that fueled and fed her infancy.

Appearance: Show

Standing at 6'2", his skin is dark and tanned, like dry leather, yet he has the faintest hint of freckles on his cheeks. His hair is black, and a tangled mess of curls. He keeps it short, close to his head, but it grows fast. He wears a thick, woolen poncho, which hides his orange button-down work shirt, as well as numerous holsters for his guns and knives. He has dark brown work pants, held up by two strong leather suspenders. Beneath these are his large, unornamented thick leather boots. The soles have been stripped and replaced multiple times, but his boots are made to endure. He is always changing hats, never satisfied with how any of them look on him, but aware of the benefits that such shade provides.

Personality: Show

O'Dowd's personality can be summed up in two phrases: First, as first uttered by one of his men, "Twath' Daye dohned tek no shet from nobody," and second, the O'Dowd Family Motto: "Bravery is Best Sustained By Arms."

Abilities: Show

• When he was alive, Steven O'Dowd could pick up any gun and shoot, knowing the basic mechanics and workings of firearms perfectly. This hasn't changed much, although many recent developments in weaponry confuse him. He can pick up any simple firearm and use it as a master.
• He did not gain the title of "Twatha Daye" lightly; this living Irish God has been in more firefights, robberies and duels than he could count, and he has learned from each and every one. Reloading any weapon is a free action.
• He has a certain persistence that will not let him die; he once held up a coal train and ran it off the side of ravine. He and a 6 year old Indian slave boy were the only two survivors. When he's in any sort of danger that he has brought upon himself, he shall live through it, although he may suffer grave injury.

Pack: Show

• 12 revolving pistols (all attached to his person, and all fully loaded)
• 7 knives (all attached to his person, all for the sake of killing men)
• 1 tomahawk (strapped to his belt)
• A bag of 60 extra bullets (in his pack)
• 2 canteens (1 strapped to his belt, one in his pack)
• Various other goods, rations, and means to hunt and defend himself.
• He carries 40+ pounds at all times, although he is accustomed to carrying as much as 90 without fatigue or tiring.

Careful with the psuedo-indestructability, Jaia, but approved. Welcome back.

It has to be caused completely by him. If he just decides to jump off a cliff, it's fine. If someone pressures him to do it, he'd dead. If he's in a fight, and he jumps off a cliff to avoid fighting, he's still dead.

And thank you.
