Game idea : Shadow of Death (forum rpg)

[Mytical]

You two may have noticed Goldie and Shem have been awful quiet. Your characters will not notice however. Even they will have forgotten Goldie and Shem at this point. It's starting to unravel time for even them.. time is literally running out.

[Mytical]

Yes there is not only one way to figure things out/stop thing/etc .. there are multiple ways. It's your two's job to figure out which path you want to take.

[Mytical]

Well it really depends. For the common person, ordinary powers/abilities nothing special (for their race at least). For the Galaxy Rangers .. every one has more power and abilities then the average person of their race. Let me explain..

For instance a Andromedian Male has semi low intelligence but very high strength and toughness. In fact since their nervous system is so 'insulated' it takes several minutes for them to feel pain/etc IF they feel it at all. They have been known to fight 'dead' for several hours before the brain gets the information that the body is dead. Average height is around 8' tall, and they have six arms. Oh and they are purple. Now the females are a little smaller (7' average height) and have only 2 arms. They are not as strong as the males, but Andromeda is a female controlled planet as the males are somewhat... slow in thinking.

Now if you compared a human male vs an Andromedian male the Andromedian male's 'average' strength would be much higher. But compared to another Andromedian male both would be the same. (I know you know all this, this is just examples). Now a Galaxy Ranger Male Andromedian would not only have powers (anything from telekenetic to shapechanging) but normally be stronger/smarter then the average Andromedian.

So here are the 'norms' for the species you will meet.

Mercury- Elf like species with quick reflexes and advance melee abilities. ((Unlike fantasy elves they are not any better at ranged weapons then the other species)). Despite being 'slim' they are a bit stronger then humans as well. Female and male have equal authority/etc .. age and not sex decide who is in charge. They are a race that respects and listens to their elders.

Venus - Militant Female controlled planet. Males are physically weaker and treated pretty much as slaves/cattle. Respect is earned by being strong in combat, and the hierarchy is combat determined. Any Venetian can challenge for any spot, but the person challenged can declare it a combat to the death. Females can rival male Andromedians in strength, Mercurians in melee combat, are peerless ranged combatants (etc). Considered the most dangerous race in the Galaxy


Earth - Typical earthlings.

Martian - Dwarven (look like red skinned dwarves) like species that are very good with machines. Strong, sturdy, and very inventive/creative.

Jupiter - Dark Purple skinned race that lives in the permanent storm on the planet. Laid back, earth surfer like species..but if they ever got angry could take over as the most dangerous race. They are literally like 'Superman' and 'Wonder Woman' every single one of them. Near indestructible, flight, etc. I mean .. they live in a permanent hurricane like storm.. they are TOUGH. They do not leave Jupiter though. There are no Galaxy Ranger members that are Jupitarian/etc

Saturn - No known intelligent species.

Uranus - Beings made of pure ice. Where the Venetians have perfected offense.. the beings from this planet have perfected defense. They are complete pacifist and prefer not to fight (think a world full of Shaolin monks made of ice), but were single handedly responsible for shutting down the Venetian/Federation war. Just as strong, etc as those from venus. They have no concept of different sexes etc. They reproduce by 'budding'.

Neptune - Giant super intelligent Jellyfish. They have no offensive or defensive capability, but every race protects them.. as they are the librarians of this Galaxy. They not only can share information instantly between them and store unlimited knowledge..they have the largest library in this dimension. What one Neptonian knows, they all know instantly.

Pluto - Also has no Galaxy Ranger members. When Uranians become so big, they come here. Uranians/Plutarians are essentially ageless. They grow every year, however. Some have become as large as mountains. Pluto is actually made of Uranians rolled up into a ball (remember this is fiction..I can make my worlds however I want ).

As for Adam (aka Pipsqueak though you haven't heard this name yet)

You sense he is a very powerful shapechanger, and that his powers change when he changes forms. He can assume the shape of anybody he has ever met (yes that means that right now he can become whoever is in the room with him and Colt, including Colt himself) AND their power and abilities. You would not be able to ever tell them apart either, even with your 'sight' since your sight would see ONLY the abilities of the form he is in (except his original form) and he would know everything that Colt knows or will know.

Edit 2 : The reason Adam's race is not listed here is (You will learn this soon) he is the last of his race. In their 'normal' form (the 4' blue furry form) they are very vulnerable and a disease killed all of them. Adam himself can only stay in his normal form for short periods of time or risk dying to this disease (no cure, only affects his race)

Well you would have figured the above out, but he got sidetracked lol.

What does Sapputiyok sense of the people of this dimension? And of the shapeshifter in particular?

[Tyg3rW01f]

oh... ...

[Mytical]

Yes that means the crystals in the core are gone. The room where they were at is totally complete barren.

[Ghel]

Yeah, that would be bad. That's why I'm asking for clarification. Might edit my last post in the IC thread depending on the answer.

[Tyg3rW01f]

oh crap, let's HOPE not!!

[Ghel]

Mytical, I just want to clarify something quick. When you say the core room was empty, does that mean even the crystals that were normally floating around were gone?

[Tyg3rW01f]

*looks around* uhm... okay.
was simply posting something I had forgotten to add.

[Mytical]

Sorry Tyger sort of got a bit sidetracked. I'll update you tomorrow promise.

[Ghel]

Take whatever time you need. Taking care of yourself is most important.

[Mytical]

Might be a few days before the next update is up. My ammonia levels are really high, hard to focus on anything.

[Mytical]

Actually the issue is, what Steel can and can not do. I've scrapped a couple of updates, trying to figure out Steel's limitations.

He can modify his look, but he can not copy cloth or such. Everything would be metallic looking. He manipulates Metal, and that is all he can manipulate. He could pull off the look, but it would be shiny and metallic looking.

[Tyg3rW01f]

Mytical might be having issues again... but then again, I'm not in that loop.
