I am used to playing pathfinder which is basically an easier DnD 3.5, and a long time ago I had a similar idea that had a very in-depth stat system. I think that would be going to overboard though because it scared away the last group of people I tried it with in casual, but I don't feel like there is a strong need to put it in the advanced section either. If stats are something we really want I can make a dumbed down version that is easier to work with.

Nice, I can start working on an OOC then. If there's anything if particular you guys want to see in this rp now is the time to let me know.
Hello everyone! I have this rough idea for a medieval fantasy adventure. The overall mood of the story will be dark, with the players struggling to face difficult dungeons, monstrous creatures of other-worldly nature, and moral/ethical issues that will impact the narrative. Think close to Dark Souls if you've ever played that, but not using its mechanics or lore.
I imagine the player party being about 3-4 people, each of which being some kind of knight or magician on a unified quest that I will create for the OOC. The melee combat will be focused on realistic aspects from cumbersome yet sturdy armor limiting mobility to specific wounds resulting in appropriate consequences. Basically, there won't really be HP as much as there will be convincing portrayal of your character's condition. For example, if you just had your arm broken you won't necessarily be unable to fight as long as you can wield your weapon in one hand, etc. Magic will be more straightforward and simple, with such spells as healing light/severe wounds, firing energy from a wand, or manipulating the forces of nature to an extent. There can be others if you want to suggest any, I'm pretty lenient about it so as long as it can be balanced I'll allow it.
The quest the travelers embark on could be any number of things and I'm willing to create something that caters to the type of adventure you guys want, so throw some ideas this way and I can add all of the details and maybe combine a few ideas.

What grade are you in?
12th
What are some of your hobbies and interests?
I can tell you one thing I'm NOT interested in, is doing this stupid project. I can't wait to get this grade so I can get out of this place. Besides, nobody here even likes the music I listen to because it's too heavy or it's "devil music". When I play the metal I like on the piano in the chorus room though everyone likes it because it "sounds pretty". Fuck 'em. God forbid they ever heard my band play, they'd swear I was a psycho beating on those drums. Well, at least my sister understands me. I guess I should actually answer the question... I like death metal and video games. I'm a beast at Super Smash Bros.
How would you describe your personality?
How would YOU describe it? It doesn't really matter what I think of myself, is it? The whole point of the project from what I can tell is to figure that shit out, not to already know. If what others think of me is any indication then I'm a loser who decided to think for himself instead of going with the flow like everyone else. Even in the real world, it's all about how others perceive you. If I don't like you, you don't get the job, or the girl, or the time of day. Survival of the fittest, dog-eat-dog. With that in mind, it's my way or the highway when you're dealing with me because I don't do bullshit.
What has your life been like so far?
Why do you need to know? What do you want me to say, "gee man it's been pretty normal I guess"? Or should I say the truth that nobody wants to hear, about my personal problems that you don't actually care about? Let's just say this: I've gone through a lot of shit. Everyone has. I'm not special, neither is the guy next to me, neither are you. And nobody cares, not even me. Seriously, whoever came up with this project should be punched in the face.
What will you pick as your screen name (and alias if asked)?
TaylorSwift4LYFE. Because why the hell not.
What are your thoughts on the project?
See above, "I can tell you one thing I'm NOT interested in, is doing this stupid project", "Seriously, whoever came up with this project should be punched in the face."
Anything else you'd like to add?
No. Just don't waste my time by pairing me with my sister. She'll probably go with something like "SenpaiNoticeMeeeee" or some other weaboo nonsense. That girl watches way too much anime.

What are some of your hobbies and interests?
Well, I like to listen to music. I like all kinds, but I really like rock and metal. My brother Scott listens to death metal, which I like a lot. The quote I picked is from his favorite band, August Burns Red. It means that you should put your grudges and discontentment aside and enjoy what you have, live life to the fullest. Isn't that beautiful? I wish Scott would see things like that once in a while. Oh, well besides that I really love watching anime. It's basically Japanese cartoons, but the art style is much more detailed and the content of the shows is geared more towards older audiences which I respect. I play the guitar, actually I play in a band with my brother. He's the drummer, but he can also play the piano so at home we jam a lot. Sometimes I hang out with friends too, or walk near the cliffs at the shore. I know it's dangerous, but I can't help it when the scenery is so fantastic!
How would you describe your personality?
Let's see... I'm told that I'm outgoing and friendly, I think that sounds about right. Apparently I'm modest to a fault as well, but I just don't like to brag about myself. I'm not sure what else to write though, so maybe those people have a point... I at least try to see the brighter side of things, and I've helped settle disputes between friends on more than one occasion. I just try to be helpful, you know? Maybe I've shared too much, this is just a short survey right? Or, I haven't said enough? I'm not sure, what else should I write? I get flustered pretty easily, which is exactly how I feel right now. This is embarrassing, I'm just going to move on and hope this was enough. I want to ace this project!
What has your life been like so far?
My family is traditionally a line of fishermen. My dad goes out to sea every so often and comes back with tons of fish in these big nets, and he sells them to people and restaurants and grocery stores, that kind of stuff. My brother and I have lived here our whole life, though it has been kind of tough. We don't make too much money, you see, and also our mother passed away a few years ago so my dad has to support us on his own. Scott takes care of me when dad goes fishing. Even though he seems kind of harsh and even mean sometimes, he's really sweet if you get to know him. He doesn't have as many friends as I do, but hopefully this project will teach him something about talking to other people. I love him so much, but he needs to get out of his head once in a while.
What will you pick as your screen name (and alias if asked)?
SenpaiNoticeMe99
What are your thoughts on the project?
I'm really excited to start! I wonder if my partner will like me? I want to get along with them, but I make awkward first impressions when it comes to doing stuff online so I'm nervous... At least we won't have to write a final paper, and that means I can do more studying in my other classes too! ...We don't have a final paper, do we?
Anything else you'd like to add?
Nothing really, but I think whoever decides the pairs should avoid pairing people with their siblings. Scott knows me too well, he probably would know who I am just from my screen name!
Sorry I'm late guys, I am relatively caught up and I'll still be participating. My characters are in the CS tab.
Scott answered Saf's question, "Yes. Right this way, everyone." He led everyone to the door, stepping to the side in order to access the lock. It was a standard hand print lock, displaying a silhouette of a hand as it prompted authentication aloud. Placing his hand on the lock, a blue light appeared as a bar on-screen and swept from top to bottom. The scan finished, causing the door to slide open sideways away from the lock. "Alright everyone, you'll know what to do as soon as you step inside."
Entering first, Scott couldn't help but smile as he saw each of the Sabre Suits lined up along the far wall, in numerical order. Varying in size and appearence drastically, they were a glorious sight to behold indeed. Proceeding to his suit, Scott began to outfit himself. In other spots on the walls and in crates on the floor were other supplies and armament, such as pistols, assault riffles, combat knives, grenades, first-aid kits, riot shields, and even a few launchers. This was an armory designed specifically for the current Sabres, and it certainly showed.
