PostThu Feb 16, 2006 8:26 pm    [Closed rpg]TREK Optimal: Closed

What if... after defeating the borg... Zephram Cochrane never took off in his ship?...
...what if the Enterprise...

Was almost destroyed...and had only the saucer remaining?...
What if... The Enterprise crashed on Earth...in the past?

Many of you would assume...this is a star trek RPG.
It is not.
In the timeline of this RPG, the Enterprise beat the borg...and was destroyed in the process.
Earth...unknowing...uncaring...was dealing with the Optimals...and a new way of fighting was born.
Enter: Star Trek Optimal.
~~Notice to all interested parties... This RPG is still under revision.~~

What this Rpg is about:
A small resistance force known as The Real Earth Klan(TREK), which believes that the earth makes people with abnormalities so it can better itself, unlike the optimals.
How it works:
The Optimals have devised a unique office system. Unlike most offices, where the computer terminals are visible, the Optimals have thier offices IN THIER OWN HOMES, and they access anything they need in VIRTUAL REALITY BUILDINGS.
When TREK first discovered how to access the VRB Head Office, they discovered that They appeared and fought differently in the VR world.
Characters:
TREK Head office is in the remains of Vancouver, Canada. After the borg attack on montana, and the Enterprise's counter attack, the Enterprise crash about 50 KM west of Vancouver in a small town named Hope. The resulting gravitational forces, combined with the natural fault lines some 50-60 KM east of the crash site caused a massive Earthquake which destroyed MOST of the Vancouver Lower Mainland, and half of the Eastern Coastal cities.
After rebuilding was complete, a small resistance team took over the now long-unused Telus Communications Head Office, and discovered a network of satellites which the Optimals hadn't realized yet.
Using Standard Internet Protocol, they eventually cracked into the Optimal VR.

Characters in the game:
TREK is a small organization, however, it has a unique waay of appearing in the Optimal Virtual Reality.
The TREK leader, a man named Laurent, who was tall, and thin, and incapable of most tricks he learned in the VR,, appeared quite different when he first encountered a VR opponent.

Character Creating:
Each person MUST have TWO seperate/merged characters... this sounds confusing...so let me explain.
REAL WORLD(RW) Characters:
Your characters as they react with eachother in the TREK head office.
MUST NOT LOOK CARTOON-LIKE. Incapable of "Magic" casting, and must be a unique style.
Optimal VR Reflection Characters:
This is where the fun begins.
The characters can LOOK like ANYTHING!!!
They can attack using odd styles!
AND They can use special techniques like "Magic" and assorted other fantasy goodies.

Virtual Reality Reflection Battling:
You guessed it...there be battles here!
In the virtual world, Optimal Security Forces, and NPCs may ENGAGE your characters into a VR Battle.
As your character's ability lists will be kept relatively updated(I hope...lol)... you will be able to see what you can do. NOTE THAT WHEN YOU ARE CREATING A CHARACTER, AND SPECIAL ABILITIES MUST BE CLEARED THROUGH ME FIRST!
Quite simply, it's a turn based battle system, which permits you to use one of your Abilities(A-), a Virtual World Item(VWI-), or Disconnect from Battle(RUN!!!).
Default Abilities:
Attack: Attack opponent in most obvious and blunt way possible with current weapon(if equipped).
Defend: Take HALF damage from REGULAR attacks. MAY OCASIONALLY work on Specialty moves.
Support Abilities:
Abilities that your character uses without thinking about it.
Default Available Abilities(Not everyone has them, but they can equip them if they wish.):
Counterstrike: If attacked with a REGULAR(No special moves, unless it includes a direct weapon-to-character attack), the character will return the favor.
Cover: If a team-mate has low Life Points(LP), the character will cover the team-mate, taking the damage instead. Becomes a lethal combo if Counterstrike is also equipped.

Battling:
As a general rule, when TREK characters become part of a VR Battle, our server acts as our "INPUT REQUEST" server.
So if...say...my character(Listed later) were to enter a battle with a level 1 security gaurd... you'd see something like this.

Server detected an engagement!!!
TREK Character/team engaged:
Laurent-Black Mage-Level 1-40/40 LP
Opponent engaging TREK character/team:
SG1-Security Gaurd-Level 1-30/30 LP
Due to Laurent's skills, and the server's close attention, Laurent will attack first.
Battle Start!
It is Laurent's turn.

As an interrupt, here, I should point out that if I'm the first person attacking, or if there are computerized Non-Player-Characters such as VIP-NPCs, or Security Forces, I won't bother making a seperate post.
Continuing... wrote:

A-Firaken: SG1

Laurent Attacks Security Gaurd 1 with the Firaken magic spell!
Security Gaurd 1 does not have an elemental property.
Laurent deals 27 DP(Damage Points) to Security Gaurd 1!
It is Security Gaurd1's Turn.
Attack: Laurent

Security Gaurd 1 attacks Laurent with Titanium Flashlight!
Security Gaurd 1 dishes out 3 DP!
>>Counter Attack!!!<<
Laurent Counters with Staff-Smack!
Laurent dishes out 3 DP!
Security Gaurd 1 is out of LP...disconnecting SG1 from all servers...

Note that the VR-Item "Re-link" permits TREK characters to re-add defeated team-mates into the battle.
Also notice how the battle is now over.
At the end of EACH MISSION each character will recieve EXPERIENCE POINTS based on thier performance, which allow them to use new abilities, and gain strength.



That's the basics for battling, and if you still have quesitons, IM me, I'll get back to you (Hopefully) quickly.
