Okay, so, hold on a sec. Does that mean that the whole "new parameter-10" thing is only for character creation? I assumed that was also how leveling up worked as well.
Honestly, the fact that you won't let us see the system makes me somewhat uncomfortable. Might have to pass on this one.
Billy stared at the man a moment, somewhat confused. "But demons are made of fire. Are you sure you aren't just foreign?"
+Lotta different sorts a' demons out there, Billy. Anyways, how does that work, izzat like, right-half-demon-left-half-human?+
"I'm Billy Bane and this is-"
+Or, hold on. It he demon from the hip down? Does he have goat feet? Billy, check for hooves.+
"Sword, I'm not checking his feet for hooves, that's rude. Anyways, I'm Billy and this is my-"
+Okay, wait, is the back of his head human but his front half is- OUCH!+
"-My name is Billy and this is my sword. You?"

So, see, I'm looking at the first post and it's all character creation. I was wondering if you could, if at all possible, explain or post some of the mechanics and resolution systems. You know, standard stuff like how is damage calculated, how to-hit works, how resistance works, how conditional threshold builds, what sort of dice we roll (assuming 1d100 because stats go to 99), stamina and mana replenishing, how much XP you need to level, the exact relationship between attributes and skills, why characters have armor values for each individual hit location, how speed determines number of actions, how action economy will work, some benchmarks for stats so we know how much each point is worth, how Faith being reduced to zero makes your character unplayable, if there's a weapon triangle (I assume there is because I'm seeing a lot of Fire Emblem in this, good series), and if so how does said weapon triangle work, how spells work...

You know, mechanics stuff. I enjoy learning new systems, is all.

EDIT: Also, I've noticed that due to the way leveling works:
The Rules said LEVEL - Character level. Increases by 1 every time you level up. Each level up grants you 3 Parameter points and 4 Skill points to invest into your character. Any number of skill points can be invested into any skill, but only a maximum of 2 Parameter points can be put into any one Parameter per level-up.

Means by RAW it is impossible to boost a statistic above 12 via leveling. Also, assuming levels are capped at 100 it's also impossible to get above 30 in a given stat even if we're allowed to "bank" points.
May I see the system?

I am not doing an RPG in this. This is a narrative.


Not asking you to roll the dice for us; we can do that on our own. Just saying that competitive bullshitting isn't any fun and offering a solution.
Just take a look at the system (also my questions, please) and I think you'll find it works. Hell, I'll post an example CS if you like.
So we don't include mechs on our character sheets? Alright.
Also, maybe a little more info on the mechs. For example, how large are they? Can they normally fly as well as walk? Are they normally amphibious? What sort of weapons do they use? How tough are they in comparison to, say, a tank?

EDIT: Also, how are we resolving conflicts? I'm thinking this game'll probably be heavy on combat, and freeform combat is, frankly speaking, a nightmare.
If you need a system I suggest Risus. It's four pages long and should be adequate for combat purposes. If lack of a dice roller is holding you back, Orokos should suffice.
"As you wish, slave-taker. Now then-", he turned to Akira, his posture slouching forwards, "-iron-fisted one. You possess True Will. You shall fight at the front, with me; together, we shall face the Festival."
+You sure we couldn't just stab the blacksmith and cheese it?+, the sword asked as the pair wandered into the tavern, +I mean, usually the monsters drop money, so I'm kind of at a loss here.+
"How would anything we fought drop money? Look, just-"
+-Wait, WAIT. There's totally a demon in here, Billy.+
"...Sunset?"
+No, a different demon. Definitely in this tavern, I can smell it!+
"How can you smell? You haven't got a nose or anything."
+Same way you can stand despite not having a SPINE. BURN.+
"That was uncalled for."
+You're just mad because you don't have a good comeback. Less talking, more finding and stabbing repeatedly.+
Billy walked up to a red-skinned man at the bar, getting the strangest sensation of deja vu as he did so.
"Excuse me, sir? You haven't seen any demons around, have you?"
Aggressive PMing? Would you like me to post it? I mean, I didn't think I was being aggressive, but if you want I can bring it up.
That doesn't even make sense. This is like if I had, say, Oda Nobunga, and you had a five-year-old, commanding our respective forces.
