LISA: Life Ruining Roleplay

LISA
A Life Ruining Roleplay

"A roleplay about survival, sacrifice, and perverts…"

Premise

"It's a world full of drugs, violence, and decay of human intelligence."

Be cautious and be wary. The world is not as safe as it used to be. Danger lurks around every corner and nobody can be trusted. Most of the beauty in the world has been eliminated or destroyed.

All that remains is disgust and idiocracy. The finer things in life are no more. By any means, it is to kill or be killed. That is a rule of survival and you have to live by it. Straying off from this guideline will only bring misery in your wake.

You are a resident of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. There is possible reassurance, but this world is a nightmare. The only things that reside in this world are animals, monsters, and men. Women are no longer existent. No clue has surfaced regarding the disappearance of women nor has one shown up.

It's just been a mesh pool of trash and ugliness. To cope, men will usually linger towards drugs or alcohol. It was best given the situation. What hope was there to live for? No electricity, no plumbing, and most importantly, no women. Most of everyone just tries to live by with terrorizing others or playing a simple game of darts.

People have given up hope. That was until a group of low-lives had stumbled upon a secret. A group of nimrods discovered a baby girl and have been nurturing her for the past decade. They have been nothing but a bunch of pussies and played pretend “fatherhood.” It was until a group of bandits had to put a stop to it.

A band of heroic raiders kidnapped the girl when the group of idiots wasn't looking. They took her for their own malicious reasons. More men had heard about this and became motivated—the first female they have seen in decades. It was then every man, raider group, and gang joined the hunt. Who was going to stop them? The adoptive fathers? That’s laughable.

Source Material

"LISA's approach to comedy is a double-edged sword that can only make the inevitable tonal plummets, of which there are many, all the more excruciating."

This roleplay is based on Lisa, the quirky RPG scrolling indie game. The video game is set in a post-apocalyptic world. One particular thing is that women are gone. Only men, animals, and monsters roam the planet now.

Lisa has a lot of comedic events filled with profanity and tragic moments. Beneath its hilarity and quirky nature, there is disgust and moral destruction. This roleplay will possibly be comedic based on your own humor. It will also be hardcore.

Lisa had many sacrifices in the game which tended to be unfair or entirely changed the game’s mechanics. Saving a person may affect your overall character’s playthrough. Sometimes you can prevent a situation through strength, brains, or luck. Other times, it’s just life giving you a good dicking.

For the role-players, the storyline will be focused on finding a specific girl. She has appeared out of nowhere and has been nurtured by a couple of good Samaritans. The role players have two options: they could be considered as part of the young girl’s life prior to her kidnapping or they were hired by the girl's adoptive father to retrieve her.

Alright, I believe that’s a good explanation of the game’s content.

Character Application

"It will be about losing everything you’ve ever loved and failing at everything you’ve ever done and becoming everything you’ve ever hated."

In the world of LISA, there is no surprise that the characters are abnormal. With a post-apocalyptic world, it is only natural everyone would be a bit weird or insane. Some characters suffered tragedy in the past, are currently suffering or will suffer later on in the story.

LISA is no stranger to nut bags. There have been men dressed as queers, a caveman covered in dead squirrels and even a crappy fish attorney. Your character will be one of many weirdos wasting his breath.

Character Sheet Application

General Information

Name: (What do your buddies call you.)

Legend: (This is the name that most people know your character by. This could be referred to as an informal nickname or a title that is famous or infamous of her actions. Please be specific if it's a nickname or a title. Leave "N/A" if this does not apply to your character.)

Species: (Due to being a wasteland, there is actually more than one species present in this game. Fish men and people with animal heads are present in this game. Go ahead and make your own species if you want.)

Gender: (There are not females. Only Males. You could be a cross-dresser or act as a female if so, put MF here.)

Age: (Anything is acceptable. From 10 to 99.)

Appearance: (I do like images and I do like detailed descriptions.
Your decision on how you want to approach this.)

Personality: (Your character's general attitude or feelings toward people, events and other things.)

Recreational Knowledge

Likes: (List at least five things)

Dislikes: (List at least five things)

Hobbies: (What does your character do during their freetime?)

Strengths: (List at least 3 of your character's strength.)

Weaknesses: (List at least 3 of your character's weaknesses.)

Theme Song: (What is your character's general theme? His combat music?)

Statistics

I will go more into detail about this into the next section. As of right now, you have 15 points to spread throughout your character.

Strength: (Strength will be the base of your attack power. This will determine how much damage you inflict on an enemy. This statistic will also be used for exercises utilizing muscles.)

Speed: (This stat will be beneficial in combat and determine the order of attack. Depending on the other roleplayers, you could attack last if you have the lowest speed or you will be the first to attack if you have the highest speed. Speed also affects the probability of dodging attacks as well as checks needed for speed.)

Intelligence: (Intelligence will affect your special abilities in this roleplay. Think of it as your special attack and special defense. Your resistance against certain status effects or special abilities is affected and how much damage your own powers inflict. Intelligence does have checks on solving puzzles and other activities.)

Durability: (This will be your constitution stat. Your health will be made from durability. A high enough durability will also have you taking low damage from basic or lethal attacks.)

Luck: (Don't underestimate luck. Luck will grant you the probability of earning more critical hits during attacks, but there is more to it. Luck will be applied together during certain events and critical moments. It could determine if you get mugged during your sleep.)

Health Points:(Wait to be determined.)

Meter Points:(Wait to be determined.)

Level:(Your character will be starting at level one unless said otherwise. Each level will grant five points to stats and every other level will give a new technique to learn.)

Experience Points:(XP ///// 0/5
This is your startup. Each level will gain the necessary experience points by five. So on level two, ten points will be needed to level up. )

Combatics

Weapon: (Do you have a specific weapon that your character carries around? Or does he use his fists mostly?))

Meter Based:(What this initially applies is the form of abilities or skills your character has. A simpler explanation is how you initiate these specific skills or abilities. You have two choices: SP-based or TP-based. SP-based works like your generic mana points; you start off with a specific quantity that can only be replenished through items or resting. TP-based is similar to a rage meter or limit breaker. You start with a low number based on a dice roll in every combat scene. Through receiving damage and attacking or any other combat methods does your meter gain more points.)

Techniques: (These are the specific powers your character possesses. Techniques can range from a power that is grounded to absolutely not possible. For instance, punching really hard or throwing a fireball are both acceptable techniques. These techniques can also be supportive to other party members: giving a stat boost or healing them momentarily. I will allow two techniques for now.)

Skills: (Specifically, what does your character excel at? What are his talents? Can he tame animals? Can he speak different languages? Is he a good reader?)

Gear: (Besides your character's weapon, what else does he carry on his person? A photo of simpler times? Some rope? Your call, I will let you carry bring five items into this roleplay. No curatives as I will reward those throughout the roleplay.)

The Story Behind the Man

Backstory:(What has your character been doing this entire apocalyptic wasteland? How has he survived so far? Why has he joined the search for the girl?)

Ambitions/Goals: (Initially, what helps your character wake up every day in the apocalypse? What does he strive to complete or what does he want to gain from this hellhole?)

Addiction/Mental Health: (I will be performing a dice roll to determine which members of the party will have an addiction. This regards a probability of having a Joy addiction, alcoholism, depression, or even insanity. This will affect stats and combats.)

Ongoing Story:(I would like this to be updated every once in a while. I would like what is happening to your character mentally and how he reacts to most of the major decisions and other events.)

Leveling Up, Combat System, and Items

"People are a collection of blood-filled sacks and floppy limbs, one second away from being stretched out and twisted like so much skin-taffy."

Leveling Up

For most of your journey, experience points will be given to you through post activity and defeating enemies. I will be initiating the experience points and I would like for you to please update your characters' level bar. This is so your character is given what he deserves and levels up accordingly.

Fighting enemies will be a group effort. An enemy's experience points will be split through the team. A party member must be present in order to gain the points.

Word count will vary the experience points gained as well. Here's a simple estimation for experience points.

Word Count/Experience Points:
200 words- 1 point
300 words- 2 points
500 words- 3 points
1000 words- 5 points

Combat System

The combat system will generally be written in role play format. There will be times when I will dice roll to determine the amount of damage an enemy inflicts or how much damage your character deals.

Items

There will be dice rolls after enemies are defeated to present possible item drops. I will also be committing to these rolls during gambles and treasure chests. The rarity of an item will also be rolled. Your character along with the entire party share the same inventory regarding curatives. You and your group fight or decide who gets what weapon or armor.

Major In-Game Decisions

"This is the post-apocalyptic world which starts off bleak and only gets worse, with addiction, murder, mutilation, and terrible choices that can literally cost you blood – or an arm."

One of the charms within the game of LISA is the major in-game decisions. I will apply these when I feel the party has made a couple of milestones. This may affect the party's mood, a character's personality, mental or physical health, and even combat fighting style. LISA is about self-sacrifice and being decisive.

I will be performing a dice roll to see who is affected by the game decision. It will sometimes be up to a role player to decide the fate of his comrades. These decisions will sometimes be merciless.
