Alright. Here's how this is going to work. You are one character, but during battles, you will be in control of all 4 characters. Characters will have both physical and magical attributes. More will be revealed as the story goes along, so bear with me. This is my first attempt at anything like this.

"Fuck Minecraft - An RPG"

The year is 2184, 100 years after the ending of the War on Technology. The war was the result of mankind's near-extinction at the hands of the sentient computers known as "Macs". After Steve Jobs' public execution, all traces of technology had been extinguished, except for a certain number of computers designed to run the only thing the world requires to give meaning to their lives, Minecraft.

Minecraft has become the one thing people do, the one thing that keeps people sane in times of boredom. Only 4 brave heroes remain who haven't been addicted.

You (Character One): A young boy with moderate physical and magical strength, and a sharp wit.

? (Character Two): An old man, one of the only people in the world who remembers what life was like before the computers were purged. Weak physical strength, high magical strength, and extremely wise.

? (Character Three): A middle-aged woman with moderate physical and magical strength, but easily confused.

? (Character Four): A simple man with huge muscles. High physical strength, almost no magical strength.

Name your characters!

Alright. Anyone else can show support for the names, or suggest new names. Whichever names have the most support by this time tomorrow will be selected.

Yeah, something like that. I figured a good character dynamic needed the sassy black chick.

I prefer La-a. Pronounced ladasha.

Character 2 - "An old man, one of the only people in the world who remembers what life was like before the computers were purged. Weak physical strength, high magical strength, and extremely wise." It'd be a cliché to give him an old man's name, so I'm gonna suggest a name so futuristic that it downloads its haircuts off the internet. Old man should be called Zappington Steele.

Character 3 - "A middle-aged woman with moderate physical and magical strength, but easily confused." Good physical health but easily confused? Sounds like Sarah Palin to me.

Character 4 - "A simple man with huge muscles. High physical strength, almost no magical strength." This man sounds like the kind of dunderhead who communicates exclusively in grunts. Therefore I suggest the name GMMPH!, with the grammar compulsory.

ariich · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2011, 03:34:35 PM »

2 should definitely be Kevin Moore.

4 should be Arnie.

No idea about 3.

robwebster · « **Reply #25 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:07:59 PM »

Actually, can we call the old man Bikini Inspector? I want one of them to have a descriptive name, rather than a given name.

3 can be called Tezcatlipoca Smith and let's call 4 Mr. Chubbles.

I imagine 3 would get really annoyed 'cause Tezcatlipoca is a boy's name. Which I quite like as a detail.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #27 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:20:55 PM »

You guys will have to come to an agreement. Some of these are too good to pick between.

robwebster · « **Reply #28 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:28:28 PM »

Ooh go on! Make some executive decisions. It can be like John the Explorer. Or the MS Paint Adventures.

We'll never agree. Not without a poll. It'd be cacophonous. Or, worse, could become turn after turn of "drop your pants." (Hi Orcus!)

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #29 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:36:53 PM »

Oh, fine. I'll update this at some point tomorrow (God knows I need to do something productive).

I've decided on the character names, but we'll just keep the suspense going.

The day is Tuesday. You are sitting at a picnic table in the middle of a large park. Few families are around. Not many people go outside anymore. You've been making plans to have a nice lunch in the park with your girlfriend, Aranka Moonflower. She's been talking to you for a while about this "Minecraft" thing that everybody's been hooked on. She's obviously trying to get you to play too, but you know better. You like to think you're a bit too smart for that whole "computer game" shtick. You see her walking towards you, and you become happy.

She sits down with a picnic basket that would make Yogi Bear's stomach growl. It's full of sandwiches, chips, and other assorted goodies.

"Did you make all of this yourself?" You ask.

"Nah, Subway did." She responds, with a sly smirk.

"Cute." You say, amused. You dig in to a fabulous meatball sub. As your tastebuds are awash with magnificent glory, Aranka speaks again.

"So, about this Minecraft thing..."

'not again.....' you think.

"It really is a great way to connect with people. We could be together all the time, building, tearing down, building..."

"Look, babe. I know you're really into it, but it's just not my style," You respond.

"I knew you'd respond in this way," she says in her normal, playful tone. "Good thing I came prepared" Her voice progressively becomes more threatening before she transforms before your eyes into a hulking behemoth! She's armed with a club with a single, albeit huge, spike on the end of it. She brings the club crashing down upon the table, crushing it to pieces and knocking you back onto your ass. Your mind instantly rushes into a few different directions. One keeps screaming 'WHATTHEFUCKWHATTHEFUCKWHATTHEFUCK', another is wondering if this is a dream, but a third is preparing itself for battle. You grab one of the boards from the picnic table, and assume the battle position.

ARANKA MOONFLOWER
HP: 100/100
MP: 20/20
STRENGTHS: UNKNOWN
WEAKNESSES: UNKNOWN

A) Attack (State where)
B) Defend
C) Attempt Escape

Jingle the keys in an attempt to distract her
