Here comes my first forum game, and it's ridiculously complex! Who knows if anyone will even want to deal with all this nonsense I've thought up.
(vaguely based on the Glitz Pit RP on the Brawl in the Family forums)
Basically, this is an open-ended arena combat RP. Just make up whatever character you want and engage in non-meme-related gladiatorial fun!
Everyone starts with 2 skills, 2 attributes, 1 weapon, 1 super, 200 HP, and 5 max SP, most of which can be upgraded to get more. You'll be pitted against your opponent in one of many battle arenas. Simply take any action(s) you want, send them to me via PM, and I'll roll you an RNG to determine how successful you are. I'll explain more about combat later, but it's not much more complex than that.
Character Name: I shouldn't have to explain this.
Username: Hopefully you’re not one of those guys with the blank usernames.
Appearance: A description of your character’s appearance.
Bio: A description of your character’s personality and backstory.
Skills: Select two from the list of skills. You can also buy customized skills in the shop later.
Attributes: Select two from the list of attributes. Bustom attributes can also be bought.
Weapon: Your initial weapon will be of your own design, but I’ll assign its stats to it and it won’t have any special abilities. You can pick any weapon as long as it fits within the five basic categories listed below. Your interpretations of the categories can be loose; feel free to make a hammer and categorize it as an axe-type weapon, or give your character thrown tennis balls, or something.
Super: Supers are powerful moves with unpredictable effects. They take 2 skill points per use and can only be used once per fight. You can design them yourselves, but be warned that I’ll have to approve it first; you can’t have a super that can OHKO everyone else on the battlefield. I also reserve the right to revoke your super (or any custom skills/attributes) if it turns out to be more broken than it initially appears.

Skills are special combat abilities your character has. Simply put the skill you'll be using in your action PM and your character will activate it, at the cost of 1 SP. SP are basically the same thing as PP in Pokemon; you have a maximum of 5 SP per fight initially, but you can buy more in the shop. Be warned that you can't use any Skill two turns in a row.

Weapons come in five types:
• Swords – Basic weaponry. Cheap, accurate, and reliable, but not the most damaging weapons.
• Axes – Axes deal more damage than Swords, but are liable to miss at lower rolls.
• Throwing weapons – Ranged weapons that are highly damaging, but suffer from lower accuracy. Both thrown weapons and bows have infinite ammunition unless otherwise stated.
• Bows – More accurate but less damaging than thrown weapons.
• Fisticuffs – You fight unarmed. While you are more vulnerable and less powerful than those with weapons, you gain access to certain exclusive Skills and Attributes.
• Other – What could these mysterious weapons be? (Hint: They’re anything I think up that’s not in the other categories.)
You've probably already guessed that additional weapons can be bought in the store.

Fights in this game come in two phases: combat and noncombat. Any turn in which you are attacking or under attack is a combat turn, and any other turn is a noncombat turn. During combat, you can take one action per turn, alongside activating one skill, but during noncombat turns you can take two actions and activate one skill. Anything your character does during the turn, such as "climb ladder," "run toward [opponent]," or "attack [opponent] with [weapon] counts as an action, aside from activating skills which can be done alongside any action.
Every action you take results in a roll between 1 and 10. High rolls equal more successful actions. Rolls of 1 will result in critical failures that will likely damage you alongside failing completely, and rolls of 10 will net you critical hits that deal much more damage or are otherwise very effective. When multiple actions conflict, the higher roller’s action goes first.

There's STILL MORE to explain like arenas and money and such, but that can all be saved until after y'all have signed up and stuff because I haven't figured it all out yet.
Anyway go ahead and sign up and ask me if you have any questions and such
EDIT: woah, that all fit in one post, I'm amazed
