Neoquest Negative 1...Returned?

[joecool2]

As many of you recalled, on Kat's proboard a while back dedicated to Neoquest and Neoquest II, I started an RP where you could be a made-up that would go around Maraqua, and there was prompts like D&D. This time I'm going with die for the combat part, but whether its two six-sided dice or a sixteen-sided dice or whatever, I don't care. And I haven't played much D&D before, so the dice system will probably be a tad different.

Here's a short summary of the plot from Neoquest...Negative 1 (the first one) so you know what I'm going to do with Neoquest Negative 1...Returned?:

In the present day time of Maraqua, a camoflague Kougra dives down into the ocean to visit his aunt, after his parents died to discover only something a little unbelievable. It was Isca. As he was coursing through the thick waters, the Maraquan Aisha bumped straight into him, knocking the two to the ground. When they both were done being sprawled onto the floor, they got up and Isca immediately started to panic. She told the camoflague Kougra fearfully to stop a lord, sealed away years ago, whom had returned. The task seemed a little overwhelming, especially at that time, but the Kougra had no time to question. Already one of the lord's giant minions had come upon him, and in a battle, Yaysmie the Aisha joined him (aka, another member in his party). Isca left, unexpectedly, and so the Kougra had to start on his journey. In time he gained a Scorchio, shadow Kougra, Eyrie, and a believe another.

As the journey went on, the camoflague Kougra found that something was wrong. What happened to Isca? Was she alright? Where was she?

Then a thought dawned on him...what if she was captured by one of the minions? What if she was dead? The party of adventurers decided that the boys would go and travel back to the place in which the adventure started from to begin search for Isca, while the girls would go off to continue forth and buy some new weapons. (I think that's how it was, right?)


...And then that's I believe about where we stopped...or else maybe at that swampy place. But, anyway, as you can see, I forgot even my own character's name (the camoflague Kougra x__x), and he did have a slight crush on Isca. And I would supposedly later make him like Yaysmie, because in truth the Kougra never really hated Yaysmie, just denied any like of her. And so the RP grew to a point of...let's say an almost point like a Writer's Block, and the RP shortly died.

Time to ressurect the dead! =D

Alright, rules:

• This made-ups only. >__> That means no one can play as Rohane and then someone as Talinia and then it's make-out time. Even though that's highly unpossible as Rohane's nose would need to be propped up on a stick, as told so many times before.
  
• Love is allowed, but please, for God's sake, I'm not talking about "lOvE", cause no one wants to see that described in perfect RP tone to them. *Has and would not like it to happen again*
  
• As I said, this is in a very slight D&D style. Die or a six-sided dice is required, as the combat in the last Neoquest Negative 1 was a little difficult, and I think we got some parts with our companions wrong with it. You can look on the internet for a dice-roller to download for you.
  
• I'm going to say this right now, as this was a slight problem with the last Neoquest Negative 1: this is for people who know how to roleplay and are relatively experienced with it. Last time we had one or two people who would roleplay the entire party instead of just their character, which left me irritated and made the plotline jumbled up a bit.
  
• Please follow all instructions to join properly. ^^
  

Areas we will explore (each one will take a very, very immense amount of time to travel completely through, like the Neoquest II game):
-Ski Lodge (it's abandoned except for a few pets who come inside if they're caught in a blizzard)
-Scurvey Island
-Lost City of Geratikipu (I think that's how you spell it? XD)
-Kreludor
-(It would be amazing if we ever got this far, but if we do, and this RP goes on forever, we could find some more places for the adventure to continue on to, or just create a made-up area. Maybe like from some NT stories, like the canyon from Firejewel or the elemental realms from As Told.)

Combat

Class:
Skills:
Original Weapon:
Original Clothing:

Class- Foundation Classes are to be picked when you make your character. Foundation Classes are classes you are allowed to have at the start that can build up into even more precise, higher classes as your experience goes up. Here are the ones you can choose:
-Warrior (wields a sword and strikes forwardly, using few spells)
-Spellcaster (wields a wand and uses magic to destroy enemies, aid party members, and raise defenses)
-Archer (wields a shortbow and arrows. Uses long-range attacks to kill opponents and casts spells to increase the power of an arrow and resist the party from an element ((generally in touch with all elements.)))
-Healer (wields a scepter and uses magic to revive, heal, and restore party members fully.)
-Thief (wields katars and uses the act of illusion, sneaking, and stealing to bring down foes and obtain valuable items from them. Also uses spells and tricks of illusion to confuse and disrupt the enemy's next move.)

Here are classes that are built up from the Foundation Classes. These CANNOT BE PICKED AT WHEN FIRST CREATING A CHARACTER. When you achieve a high enough level at your class, you will get a prompt that christens you to the next class.
-Sabresman (wields a sabre and attacks violently yet with a skill and agility that is unmatched by foes) -Level 2 of Warrior-
-Samurai (wields a longsword and attacks highly, working with honor and glory to deal fatal blows) -Level 3 of Warrior-
-High Mage (wields a staff and casts perfect elemental spells, while also being able to cast secondary elemental spells) -Level 2 of Spellcaster-
-Sorcerer (wields a mace and attacks with the power of magic while still using primary and secondary elemental spells) -Level 3 of Spellcaster-
-Vixen (wields a longbow and attacks highly long range while using unseen powers that even magic-oriented classes can't even use, such as spiritual summoning and being one with the earth) -Level 2 of Archer-
-Fox (wields a crossbow and attacks both highly long range and short range with immense speed while having most of the powers of a Vixen) -Level 3 of Archer-
-White Mage (wields a highscepter and uses supreme healing abilities while also able to use powers like that of faeries) -Level 2 of Healer-
-Angel (wields a sumpremescepter and uses holy powers of attack, defense, and especially healing. Can use light like a thief uses shadows)
-Ninja (wields a katana and uses the shadows as a complete hideaway. Knows the art of stealth and secret so well almost none can match, and has the skill of martial arts to help in the complete destruction of foes. And yet all so nobody even knows…) –Level 2 of Thief-
-Assassin (wields a longdagger and uses extremely violent attacks, but does it without anybody even knowing nearly one hundred percent of the time. Specializes in taking out the foe instantly but leaving the murder undetectable. Can actually turn into a shadow.) –Level 3 of Thief-

-Pilot (wields highly modern weapons such as blasters and uses the skill of piloting many vehicles from various worlds to cope with enemies. Can fix and repair equipment and navigate the surrounding area…most of the time) –Every level and class; specially obtained by skills and training-
-Jokerman (wields mines, throwing knives, and a staff. Can handle the power of chance and luck by turning it against the enemy while also using it as an aid against the party. Due to this, it also enables the ability of being able to go back in time for short lengths.) –Level 4 of Warrior, Archer, or Thief-
-Witchdoctor (wields staff and can use the power of spiritual forces to call upon death, defense, and healing. Has a little bit minor healing skills than Healer, but can still use divine powers from the teachings of tribes to unearth a fury of attacks and forces.) –Level 4 of Healer, Spellcaster, or Archer-
-Helldoctor (wields staff and can use the power of spiritual force from both the heavens, hell, and in between. Has very minor healing skills, and often goes so berserk that at times can use spells accidentally with the foe. Can harness the unsteady power of annihilation and evil, and often uses it cruelly and crazily enough to cause extreme madness, which leads to becoming berserk until the battle is over) –Level 5 of Witchdoctor-

If you choose any of these or become any of these along the way, it is your responsibility to remember some of the effects of your class. A gauge for yourself might be a good idea during a battle if you need it. Such bonus classes as Pilot or Witchdoctor can be obtained with the right skills, experience, or class. Sometimes even finding a teaching at a place can help.

Skills: Skills are generally made up by yourself but must require some guidelines for them to work properly.
-They MUST follow your class. Please view your class information more closely for better skill making.
-You must have at least five different skills with at least five levels for each (Level 1, 5, 10, 15, 20)

Here’s an example for an Archer’s skills:
-Attack (Level 1: Attack; Level 5: Attack V; Level 10: Attack X; Level 15: Attack XV; Level 20: Attack XX)
-Long Range (Level 1: Long Range; Level 5: Long Range V; Level 10: Long Range X; Level 15: Long Range XV; Level 20: Long Range XX)
-Poison Arrow (Level 1: Poison Arrow; Level 5: Ivy; Level 10:Toxicate; Level 15: Venom Struck; Level 20: Death Pool)
-Elemental Protection (Level 1: Elemental Protection; Level 5: Primary Barrier; Level 10: Primary/Secondary Barrier; Level 15: Pure Shell; Level 20: Witchdoctor’s Blockade)
-Three Shot (Level 1: Three Shot; Level 5: Multiple; Level 10: Split and Hit; Level 15: Five Shot; Level 20: Swarm)

Original Weapon/Original Clothing- These are the starting, named weapons/armor you can make-up. Later on you can buy ones that are priced but more offensive or defensive than your original.

[joecool2]

How does the battling work? Simple. First, grab your six-sided die or some other higher-sided dice to use. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the Neoquest Negative 1…Returned? combat system.

First, you get a prompt that says you’ve been attacked. It displays what the enemy is and how many there are of them.

Second, it will display health of the party the entire battle, while only the enemy’s new health when you attack it. To attack, with your character only, you can roll your six sided, single die three times, while for people with higher-sided die, once or twice. As levels of the party go up, the number of times rolling the die will go up. To cast a spell, you either roll your dice depending on whether the spell is offensive or defensive. If the spell is defensive, then the spell is simply cast. To shoot an arrow or steal an object, you roll the die and see if it lands on an even or odd number. If it’s even, the arrow lands and damages the enemy depending on another few rolls for offensive, however, if you land odd, then the action is not carried out. To heal, you roll the die just like an attack, but whatever you land on is not the damage the enemy takes, but the health a party member you choose or the entire party gains. Critical attacks are dealt when you land the same number twice in a row, which gives you twice the total. For instance, if you rolled a 3 last turn, and this turn rolled a 3, you would deal 12 damage because 3 + 3 = 6 x 2 = 12.

An actual RP scene needs to be included with the damage you take or give so that way the battle goes smoothly.

Lastly, when you finally defeat the enemy, it will show a prompt that the enemy has been annihilated, and the party will receive a certain amount of gold and possibly an item. Of course, it will also the amount of experience you gained out of a certain amount to reach the next level (everyone starts out needing one thousand, and usually then each battle gives you 200 exp.)

When you reach the next level, you can spend a skill point on another skill. When you get to a certain level, as stated before, you can get another roll which adds to your damage.

Refer to this when you need help with a combat or you feel like you forget something. And don’t worry if you don’t understand this at all or you feel this is way too extremely complicated to dot his: it will become easy after two or three battles and I start explaining it.

Activities and New Stuff Not in Neoquest I or II
Some new things that aren’t in Neoquests are the usual: you can interact, and basically RP, which is you can do whatever you want. But there is also vehicles you will find around the place that you may be able to use if you have a Pilot on hand in the party, and if you happen to find a scroll or book somewhere, I suggest skimming through a few pages of it to find any good spells or abilities you might want to try out, if it is for your class, that is. There’s also ways you can go to training academies while you’re making a pit stop buying items and resting up, where you can earn more *bonus* experience that goes towards bonus classes. You can basically just do anything that seems life-like.

The plot for this Neoquest RP will come as we go. Now…on with the RP!

*Name: Shazvar (Shaz-Var)
*Age: 15
*Birthday: December 29th, 1990
Horoscope/Year of the: Capricorn/Year of the Horse
*Sex: Male
*Neopet Species: Bori
*Neopet color (includes painted): Blue
*Personality: Although a bit shy at times, Shazvar is very independent and doesn’t take much advice, even though it’s not purposely. He enjoys being around culture and people, not so much the wilderness, although he would force himself to enjoy both easily. When in battle, training, or other important tasks, he tries to concentrate and be rather serious, and most of the time he does, but his thoughts distract him from his work.
*General Appearance (do not include clothes): Shazvar is buff and relatively muscular around his chest and legs, but his arms still need work and his facial characteristics are a pointed, round face and slim snout. Because of this, wielding his sword the very first time was difficult for him, but eventually he got used to the weight of the sword.
*Formal Wear (I have an idea for a clad "James Bond" style party somewhere in the plotline. *Wink*): A tuxedo jacket with cuffs around the sleeves, and a slightly turtleneck collar that brings out the skinniness on him.
Accessories/Birthmarks:
*History (any length is acceptable): In his home town somewhere near Terror Mountain, Shazvar always dreamed of being able to become a warrior. His parents didn’t really have enough neopoints to ever get him in a training facility, and especially since the good ones where too far away, but Shazvar was still determined to meet his goal. After persistence the elder of the nearby academy hadn’t seen in quite a while, at age eleven, the blue Bori was enrolled for training in the art of being a warrior.

Most of the academy thought he was relatively average at wielding and battling with a sword, but the elder had always thought he would one day be a special hero of Neopia. “All you require now, Shazvar, is practice. The door to justice is to keep forging it open, until one day, you may pass through,” He told deeply, his voice dripped with a wise tone the Bori hadn’t heard in years.

He stayed at the academy until when he just turned fifteen last year. Then he set out on his first journey to a tomb he was assigned to guard. The academy promised to return with an escort, who would bring supplies, in two months, but as Shazvar waited, they never returned. Because of this, he hardly had any food or water to live off of, and so is one reason why he doesn’t like the wilderness as much as towns and people. Recently, about two months ago, he abandoned the ruin and hitch-hiked his way back to the village in Terror Mountain, where, he found in disbelief, was his home buried in feet upon feet of snow. He later found out that an avalanched was caused due to a predicament in the abandoned Ski Lodge.

At that point Shavzar’s life was miserable. There was a side of him that wanted to stay and not get himself into trouble by going into that Ski Lodge, yet there was another side that told him to just rush in there and find out who killed his entire family and his entire academy. The fight to decide wrecked him visibly, but he still trained with his sword, ready at any time for anything. He now lives in a neohome in Happy Valley, anxious for avenge.

Class: Warrior
Skills: Attack (Level 1: Attack; Level 5: Attack V; Level 10: Attack X; Level 15: Attack XV; Attack 20: XX)
Power Strike (Level 1: Power Strike; Level 5: Power Lash; Level 10: Power Cry; Level 15: Power Force; Level 20: Power Field)
Magic Resistance (Level 1: Magic Resist I; Level 5: Magic Resist V; Level 10: Magic Block V; Level 15: Magic Shield V; Level 20: Magic Barrier V)
Damage Booster (+3 to all attacks depending on level) (Level 1: Booster; Level 5: Raise; Level 10: Increase; Level 15: Charge; Level 20: Turbo)
Frost Sword (does twice amount of damage, but only against fire/earth oriented enemies) (Level 1: Frost; Level 5: Ice; Level 10: Ice Tornado; Level 15: Blizzard; Level 20: Tundra)
Original Weapon(s): Academy’s White Sword (light steel blade with gray handle and rugged edge. Basically a sword for intermediates at the academy)
Original Clothing: Academy’s Uniform (A light tundra blue jacket that reaches the ankles, with the symbol of a “G” to the side, which stood for the academy, “Geed Training”. The pants are the same color with dark lacing on either side, and the legs of the pants are so oversized that they drag along the floor)

Shavzar stared hard at the looming, dark building of the Ski Lodge with cold eyes, his face screaming of nightmares. In truth, accusing the Ski Lodge or people inside of murder of his village was quite ridiculous, but the ice Bori hardly knew. Too overwhelmed in his surprise at how when he came back his home was layered in piles of snow, he didn’t even think about how stupid it would be to suddenly have hatred towards the ancient place.

Dawn was cracking up above the horizon, breaking the purples of the sky into a lighter blue, which oozed out over the mountains and across clouds. His attention was starting to stray, as usual.

He sighed uneasily. He was supposed to set out to get some groceries and possibly earn some more neopoints, but he was starting to change his mind. Perhaps just one mere visit into the place would satisfy him…

The thought surprised him, like he was some murderer yearned for a taste of blood, and Shazvar shuddered in fear at his own self. But, putting it aside shakily, he shoved open the door of the Ski Lodge, and the hot, thick air of the building made him freeze in his spot. The door closed with a couple of creaks behind him, and in an instant Shazvar was in complete silence. There were few lights that still very worked, and the place was blank with people. But there were many books, and Shavzar rather liked books…

Ah, I remember the NQNI RP. Good times. Might as well dig up the name of my old character...

*Name: Velo
*Age: 17
*Birthday: 6th August
Horoscope/Year of the: Bull
*Sex: Male
*Neopet Species: Scorchio
*Neopet color (includes painted): Orange
*Personality: Cold, aloof, curious and inquisitve at times
*General Appearance (do not include clothes): Rather well-muscled all around. Stands at a general height of 1.82m, or about 5' 11". A 2cm scar runs down his right arm.
*Formal Wear (I have an idea for a clad "James Bond" style party somewhere in the plotline. *Wink*): A tuxedo with cuffs around the sleeves, along with a red bowtie.
Accessories/Birthmarks:
*History (any length is acceptable): Velo lives, or lived, on a small island off the coast of Mystery Island. He lived a rather carefree life, being a jolly person. However, 3 years ago, the island was invaded by a group of wild Tuskaninnies. Having never fought a battle before, he hastily took up the bow and arrow. He had a rather natural talent for it, but it was to no avail- the Tuskannies ravaged his village, killing his family and friends. He barely got away from the island, but during his escape one of the invaders gave his right arm a harsh slash with a rapier. It left a scar on it, as a constant reminder of what he lost. He fled to Mystery Island, the experience affecting him emotionally. His attitude changed from being someone who was always cheerful and cracking jokes, to a silent, determined person who rarely cracked a smile. He began to undertake serious training, hoping to one day head back and retake the island. Eventually, he decided to broaden his horizons, heading to other lands to polish his skills. He is currently a wanderer, moving from place to place. His mind is a mess- everyday he wakes up, telling himself that he keeps training and honing his skills for revenge, and to take back what he lost. However, another part of him keeps nagging at him, telling him that no matter how much he tried, he'd never be able to fully satisfy himself, not even if he had slain all the Tuskannies that invaded his home. He still missed those days where he was without a care in the world, but he continues fighting everyday, hoping to one day return home. Lately, he heard of an avalanche in Terror Mountain, deciding to head there to the old Ski Lodge to check out any remains to see if they would be helpful. And that, is where another chapter of his life began...

((Random Notes: I came up with the name Velo on a total whim; I didn't even know where it came from. Later, I found out there was a dinousar callde Velociraptor. Go figure.))

Velo strode through the snow up to the Abandoned Ski Lodge. The cold winds whipped around him, but the Scorchio either didn't mind it, or he was very good at hiding it; there wasn't even an expression on his face. He patted his crossbow, as if reassuring himself, before reminding himself why he was here; he had heard that there were numerous books in the Lodge. He had always had a love of reading, having studied a lot while he was on the island. But now... he shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He was here to see if any of the books had any useful knowledge he could use. Not to mention he was a bit curious about the rumours that circulated this place. He strode in, noticing the door was recently used. The warm surroundings of the insides suited him better than the outsides, and his eyes scanned the old place...

[joecool2]

There was a harsh snap behind him, and as soon as Shavzar turned around, he heard a series of creaks of a door closing. A rush of harsh winter winds flooded into the building, breaking through the hot interior. Shavzar shuddered under the wieght of the cold, but walked out of the room he was currently in towads the main hallway, from where he had entered.

A figure, clad in a dark, ranger-looking outfit was glancing about the area, observing the numerous potraits of old Neopets staff and their pets and eying a few stacks of books interestingly. The ice Bori immediately whirled around and glued himself to the nearest wall, trying to move out of the pet's sight. As he did, he knocked over a stack of encyclopedias standing stray at the corner, which causing a soft wham.

It was easy to see that could grab any pet's attention. The Bori's eyes widened in fear as he darted past the walls, racing into another set of hallways which looked to be just like the first one. Did he go in circles? Was this even perhaps a maze? What had the Ski Lodge really become?

[Gav]

Velo was still peering around cautiously, when he suddenly heard a soft thump upon the floor. He instinctively fired an arrow from his bow, the projectile flying through the air, implanting itself in the wall with a quick Zing. He made his way over, looking at the fallen stack of books. Possibly fallen by themselves... or did they? His mind raced quickly, getting in a defensive position as his heart beat, his ears listening for any movement, sweat rolling down his face.

Then he heard it. The soft thump of footsteps; soft, but still audible. There was no doubt about it. There was someone else here. He readied his bow, proceeding cautiously into the nearest set of hallways, eyes constantly darting in every direction. He breathed slowly, keeping himself calm, moving at a steady pace, but speedy enough to catch up to whoever was running. Judging from how quick they're moving, they should be tiring themselves out soon. he thought, proceeding furthur into the lodge.

[joecool2]

Shazvar listened closely, pressing his ear up against one of the walls to hear through to the other side. His Bori ears were excellent, and immediatley he picked up the sound of footsteps. Instantly he unsheathed the sword at his side with a scratch against the case and flung out around the wall towards the figure.

The sword pressed lightly against the figure, not enough to hurt them, but to just warn them that if any move was maken, there would be a murder. But just as he done so, he realized there was something cold and piercing at his throat. A light, hidden by the shadows that was placed at the very top of the ceiling, suddenly buzzed, and it flashed on as electricty was restored. The light revealed the figure in front of Shazvar to be an orange Scorchio, and it was holding an arrow up to its throat.

[Gav]

Velo had been walking slowly along the hallway, when he suddenly saw a flash of blue jump out from around a corner, leaping at him. He immediately readied his bow, his reflex ready to fire, when he suddenly felt cold steel press against him. As the light flickered on, his arrow was poised at an Ice Bori's throat, the touch of the sword against him had distracted Velo long enough for him to stop himself from firing.

He breathed tensely, sweat rolling down his chin, as his hands gripped the bow tightly, nevermoving as he stared back into the face of his attacker. 5 seconds passed. 10... 15. Finally, he managed to move his mouth, his lips dry as slow words came out. "Move the sword away... and this arrow isn't going through your throat."

[joecool2]

There was a long moment of eerie silence, like the kind you make when you're awaiting death...in which Shazvar almost felt like. His heart thudded quickly and strongly that he almost thought the Scorchio could hear it. The fur on the Bori began to dampen with sweat.

"The same time," Shazvar suggested ever so calmly, although he was really quite nervous. "We lower our weapons on the count of three."

His paw was becoming slippery, and the Bori had to keep re-gripping the handle of the blade to keep the weapon from slipping straight through his paws.

[Gav]

Velo stayed silent for some time, his sweaty palms still holding the bow. "...Alright then." He said, his hands slowly relaxing their grip. "One... two..." his body was tense, his muscles ready to move on a moment's notice. "...Three." With that, he slowly dropped his bow, his right hand ready to grab his dagger resting on his belt, in case the Bori tried anything.

[joecool2]

A second late at the three, having the naturally short attention span, Shazvar flun his sword down hurriedly and sheathed it. His body grew uneasily tense as he saw the Scorchio grip the handle of some at its side. Still, Shazvar was beginning to slowly back of away a bit, in case anything was to be pulled.

"I'm Shazvar," He breathed, leaned against the wall and bending forward so as he was catching his breath. "I came here to find out about the avalanche months ago. I don't mean any harm, really," He insisted.

[Gav]

Velo watched as the Bori hastily backed off, relaxing a little. "Alright." he said, turning away. "Call me Velo." He walked off, heading over to some of the old books. They were dusty, obviously having not been touched for years. He flipped through one, his hand still clutching his dagger, as if he was afraid to go without it. "Go ahead and find out what you can, then." he said sullenly, eyes quickly scanning over the pages of the tomes.

[joecool2]

Shazvar's eyes nearly popped out of his head at the reaction. Go on, then? Who was this guy?

Shazvar's attention soon drifted over to what Velo was exactly doing. The Scorchio was dissecting through various scrolls and tomes and books filled with large amounts of things. There were ones like, "The ChestFlash Code" and "Stal Potter and the Chamber of Thongs", but nothing interested him. He was looking for spell books, Shazvar immediately could tell. The Bori stared hard with narrowed eyes of curiousity. "How to Take Care of an NSQ?" What in the world were these books?

Shazvar caught himself with his thoughts drifting off once again, though. Time to find out what happened here, He thought angrily, the memories of seeing empty, crippling houses and frosted inns swarming back to his mind.

He broke free from a flashback and sighed while getting up from the wall. Unsheathing his sword with a shwing!, Shazvar started forward, past Velo, towards the dark, slithering shadows of the rooms ahead. Just as he crossed into the darkness, continuing forward ever so slickly, a thought dawned on him. What if there were creatures? If there were...that was the reason why the avalanche occured. He would slay every beast in here even if it meant his sword breaking off.
