Zeroth

Overview

This RP is intended to be a long running, small group RP with seven main characters (The 7 Sins). There will be a generally overarching plot that will change over time; consider this as different story arcs in your favorite anime. With seven main characters at any given time, there can also be seven sub-plots (character arcs), but at the end of the day, all the sub-plots should tie back to the main plot in some respect.
Plot

This section of this post will update whenever we start a new story arc. At the moment... this RP is in it's infancy stage. Characters are being introduced and the world is being established. In other words, we are breathing life into the setting and establishing a lore. As such, this arc will simply be called "Vrathe City"
Setting

This RP takes place on a planet known as Chronus in a universe separate but similar to ours. Think of this planet as Earth in the not so distant future, say around year 2,500. Unlike our Earth however, this planet is inhabited by all the creatures of lore, from elves to dragons and more. In other words, we ask the question, how would life have progressed if all our fantastical stories were true and grew up along side technology.

The main setting of our RP is "Vrathe City". It is a massive city and the capitol of this world. You can find more information on this in the first IC Post. You can also find descriptions on sub-divisions of this city or "districts" in that post. By reading these descriptions, you should be able put together an accurate picture of life in this city and beyond.

Rules

I would assume everyone knows general RP rules, such as no double posting and no God-Modding other player's characters. Beyond that, I'd just like to say, keep your post quality high (grammar and such), while keeping your post lengths low (one to four solid paragraphs).
Power Ratings

Power Rating is the one and only stat that we track in this RP. Every character, big or small, has a Power Rating. As time progresses, more and more non-player controlled characters (with different power ratings) will be posted to the Character Sheet section. Basically, if your character battles a NPC, they win as long as their Power Rating is greater.

There are seven different styles for characters. Each Sin (main character) represents one of these styles, but all other characters will also have one. Each style behaves differently when faced with another, having advantages over some and disadvantages with others.

Using the chart in the hider below, whoever has the advantage should use the appropriate multiplier on whichever character or character(s) has the lowest power rating. Then that result is added as a bonus to the character with the advantage.



e.g. A main character with a PR of 9000 goes against an army of 100 baddies at 800 PR per soldier. This means 9000 against 8000. So you should win, but let's say the enemy has a 1.5 advantage due to typing. 1.5 will be multiplied against their 8000 to equal 12000. Now they will win. If you had the advantage, 1.5 would still be multiplied against their 8000 to equal 12000 (i.e. a 4000 increase.) You can then add that extra 4000 to your Power Rating.

Perhaps you want to know why one style is weaker than another. In the hider below, you can see the reasoning used.


Dice Rolls

With Power Rankings, there is room for dice rolls, but I'd rather not make this RP dice roll centered. So here are the two simple rules on Dice Rolls:

#1: Dice Rolls are only needed when challenging another Player Controlled Character or a Major NPC. All NPCs will be labeled as Major or Minor. Your character can defeat any Minor Character without a dice roll. Simply post about how you beat them IC, as long as your power rating was higher than theirs.

#2 I perform dice rolls and reveal the results. So as a rule of thumb, you should only ask for a dice roll Wednesdays through Fridays, when I am more likely to be online, due to my work schedule.

Minor and Major Characters

I will create the characters that oppose our main characters. These are NPCs. Anyone can control a minor NPC or multiple minor NPCs in their posts. There is a limit however; each minor character has a "Mob Max/Post". So you can't exceed more than that many minor characters of that type in a post. However, you can control multiple types of minor characters to create larger groups.

Major characters only appear at my discretion. At which point you can control their actions to a degree, but you can't defeat them without a successful dice roll.

Also at my discretion is the right to exceed the normal "Mob Max/Post" for minor characters. In other words, to create dramatic moments, I can summon an army.

Character Growth

This is the final need to know thing about this RP. Any time you beat enemy(s) in battle, you may increase your character's "Power Rating" by 10% of your fallen enemy(s) power rating(s).

e.g. If you post about defeating 5 enemies that each have a power rating of 50 each, then their total power rating would have been 250. Ten percent of that is 25, so you can now add 25 points to your character(s) power rating.

I will not monitor the growth of every character. We will be using the honor system. Anyone that abuses the honor system will have to leave the RP. If you forget to add to your character's power rating soon after a battle, that is your loss. DO NOT add points for battles long since passed.

May I Join this RP?

This RP is currently full, with all players besides myself having two characters. If you are an outsider, you may PM me directly, and let me know that you are interested. If one of the current players drops out or would like to give up one of their characters, I will contact those that PMed me first.

In the case that one of our users is simply giving up one of their characters, you (as the new user) won't be using their character. You will be making a new character to fill in the spot. This is the case unless you really want to continue using that character and they approve of letting you.

Any Questions?

If you have a question, ask it in the OOC section. If it is an easy question, I'll simply answer it there or point you to where I've already answered that question. If it is a more detailed, thought out question, I'll add it to the Q&A Hider below.

Oh yes. I prefer an image over a description. Actually I prefer both, the image and a short description underneath to add a little more detail.

I'll add that to the 0th Character Sheet Post. Thanks!

I have a few minor comments that I'd like you to reexamine, the main one is the assertation that the entire city's missings person list are people that confronted her. That's a little overboard considering all the other bad things that happen in a city that could land someone on a missings person list. Perhaps change that to MANY of the names on the list are people who faced her.

I'm walking into work now, so I can't go into further detail till tomorrow morning. If you change that one thing first, you can go ahead and post. I think she would fit perfectly in the Governing District that I've described in the 1st IC post.

See everyone tomorrow morning.

I just did a quick google search on those races and yes, you may make your mage/envy character a mind flayer / illithid.

Ty. I'll have it made shortly. My first post might be a bit late. Character creation for envy is getting creative. Trying to narrow it down.

No worries, I'm off work now and have time and energy. I wanted to finish my character sheet before looking into everyone else's. I'm on it now. I'll have responses for everyone within the next hour or two.

I have PM'ed you regarding your Sloth character. Please get back to me when you've seen this PM and made your final edits. Then we can look at your other character.

@amorphical
Both of your characters are approved! I'm going to create a new district for your Envy character. It'll be an old industrial area with lots of old warehouses and factories.
