Welp, I'm back.

[Orga the Strange]

I pick Eel-Man!

[BeanDip]

Southman, ya dirty yankees

[Nerre]

As for a job, I will go with INVIGORATING AXEMAN. Well, as long as it fits to the game. Will we have to fight, solve ridles?

Northman with an axe. What else can I say? Maybe: "Every man without a proper beard is a woman." Arrr!

[Runsaround]

Orga The Strange is the EEL-MAN __________ ___________
Beandip is the SOUTHMAN ___________ _____________
So, AccursedBiscuit is the SQUID-WORM __________ ____________.

Sorry, Biscuit. STAT REVEAL:

NORTHMAN: Knows the northland's shape and has NORTHMAN-MADE equipment.
SOUTHMAN: Knows the southland's shape and has SOUTHMAN-MADE equipment.
SQUID-WORM: Can breathe underwater, but needs to return to it's Robotic Carrier to walk on land for long periods of time, though said Carrier can just walk on riverbeds.
METAL-PERSON: Is made of metal, tough, difficult to heal, and may rust.
EEl-MAN: Must breathe water, has water tank and connected mask, tank needs refilling. Can't climb, but increased agility and can bite.
PSYCHIC ROCK: Comes with dominated individual "pet", OR is capable of manifesting "mystic body", depending on status as CONJURER or TELEPATH.
(Note, this is unrelated to class)

That works, Nerre, go go other people making up classes!

[BeanDip]

I reckon that makes me a SUPERCILIOUS SOUTHERN STABULATOR

[WhirdCheese]

Conjurer, with the class of TINY BARBARIAN!

[Runsaround]

At this rate I think class balance is pretty %^&*ed.

[BeanDip]

it's just like my pappy used to say: "let a fox loose in the kitchen and he'll piss in the sweet tea and shit on the biscuits."

I'm lookin forward to stabbin some Yankees though, i tell you what

[Runsaround]

MANDATE: EVERYONE ELSE MAY NOT BE FIGHTER-LIKE.

[AccursedBiscuit]

it's just like my pappy used to say: "let a fox loose in the kitchen and he'll piss in the sweet tea and shit on the biscuits."

That last part doesn't sound pleasant at all.

Anywho, due to my very limited traveling ability, I will be... RELUCTANT RANGER!
If that works, anyway

[Nerre]

MANDATE: EVERYONE ELSE MAY NOT BE FIGHTER-LIKE.

Maybe you should give us a hint if the classes are like in D&D or if we have to split so we also have smart and educated people, diplomats, technichians, it-guys, magicians like in Shadowrun.

tiny rock babarian.
nothern axe viking
southern rouge
and a ranger (actually ranger is a fighter subclass in old D&D rulesets, just like barbarian)

If you want I could switch from Axeman to Axemagician.
I can throw it here and over there it appears right in your face. From behind yourself, even if I am standing in front of you. Even if you are behind a wall. Even if I got no axe in the beginning. My axes are always sharp. Yes, that is how Axemagic works. And since I am from the north, the axe is always freezing cold.

[AccursedBiscuit]

I thought ranger might be a little close to being a fighter. howsabout... WONDROUS MAGIC-GUY!!!

[BeanDip]

I would be willing to switch classes or choose something else if need be.

If you'd like to give us a class list instead of letting us create our own, it might be easier to achieve class balance and make sure everyone is useful throughout the game.

So long as i can be a Southern Stereotype who occasionally stabs people, i think i will be happy despite my class

[Runsaround]

Beandip, individual class choice doesn't really matter, it's composition that I pay attention to. If you want to switch meta-roles with someone else, take it up with them.

Reluctant ranger is fine,I suppose, since you do get spells at some point, though I don't think that makes sense for a exoskeleton-riding squid. Wondrous MAgic-Guy means being female is off the table.

[AccursedBiscuit]

I'm cool with being a dude, I just figure I need to be a ranged sort of class, whether it be spells or arrows. Gonna go with spells, though. A warrior that's stuck to the riverbank wouldn't be extremely useful.

[SamWiser]

How about Silver Surfer! Wait, I can rust. That won't work. How about Apprentice Monk? Would that work?

[BeanDip]

If composition is a worry then I'll take the classic rogue position to balance out the straight melee and magic users. Picking a lock is kind of like stabbing it, right?

Which makes me a SNEAKY-STABBER

[Orga the Strange]

Dammit Beandip, you stole my class! I was gonna be like the Predator! *sighs* Ah well, that's what happens when you don't post sooner.

And with that, I shall be a NEFARIOUS NECROMANCER!

[Runsaround]

So that means :
Nerre is the SIXTH, a NORTHMAN INVIGORATING AXEMAN!
Orga is the FIFTH, an EEL-MAN NEFARIOUS NECROMANCER!
SamWiser is the FOURTH, a METAL-PERSON APPRENTICE MONK!
AccursedBiscuit is the THIRD, a SQUID-WORM WONDROUS MAGIC-GUY!
BeanDip is the SECOND, a SOUTHMAN SNEAKY STABBER!
WhirdCheese is the FiRST, a PSYCHIC ROCK TINY BARBARIAN!

[Runsaround]

The game starts in seven days, BTW.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of you, travelling for your own reasons which I am not privy to, were passing through the PEACEFUL VILLAGE when, independently, you have been directed by rumour to the WISE ELDER who is recruiting ADVENTURERS to capture the MACGUFFIN STICK from the evil CHICKEN MASTER, on the payroll of the ULTRA-PEROR, ruler of the NOT-SO-WESTERN EMPIRE. As you reach the ELDER HUT, you notice the ELDER and a strange-looking, arrogant-aired ELFIN LIAR in ornate robes, carrying a WONDER ROD.

ELDER: "It's too late now, LIAR. The notice has been sent, and anyway I don't trust you to do this alone."
LIAR: "I'll prove it to you, you old wizened frog! I'll take them on, I'll show anyone who wants to muscle in on my business, that being adventure! There they are, those who would take my job! I'll trash them like the GARBAGE THEY ARE!"

The ELFIN LIAR approaches you menacingly, beginning to mutter strange words under his breath. What do.

COMBAT INITIATED

Everyone has One move to use, talk him down, kill him, flee like cowards but do the quest anyway, whatever you feel. I don't even have a combat system. I'm just making this up as I go along.

[BeanDip]

Panic and STAB self in groin

Wait for one of the others to distract him, SNEAK behind him and them STAB him in his damnable Yankee throat

► Show Spoiler

If you need rules then Risus is a simple system that's really freeform. We'd have to redo the characters but it only takes like a minute to write a Risus character. If you don't want rules then that's cool too, just thought I'd bring it up as an option

[WhirdCheese]

Summon avatar (what I'm calling the mystic body) and rage into his face. Trying to disarm him for the weapon.

[SamWiser]

Try to talk him down.

[Orga the Strange]

Look for a corpse to ressurect and have it attack him.
