PM if interested or post......no wait actually do both :)

I'll more than likely be interested, but can I get a bit more information on the game first?

Background of story

It has been 30 years since the final defeat of Zaibach, now after several years of peace throught most of the lands of Gaia.

After the death of Emperor Dornkirk, Strategist Folken, and all four of the commanding generals. The land of Zaibach was left leaderless, three of the nations that were most wounded from the attacks of Zaibach portioned up the land between them: Asturia, Freid, and Fanelia. The resulting treaty lasted for thirty years and three countries have gotten along fine for now. However recently the new rebel group in the country of Asturia have gotten a hold of the "ultimate weapon" used against Zaibach and attacked the rebuilt Capital of Zaibach, in the Freid portion of the country. They claimed the are the rightful heirs of the throne of Zaibach and began to consolidate their power in northern Zaibach around the capital. The leader of this group has begun researching into the research of emperor Dornkirk. King Allen of Asturia, King Van of Fanelia, and Duke Chid of Freid have all sent armies to the former Zaibach country side. The whole land is saturated with war as the Melefs once again roam free through out the land.

Ispano- Melefs created by the floating country of Ispano consider the greatest Melefs available. However require blood pact with one pilot and that is only their Melef until they die. Ispano Melefs are cursed in that the Melef can awaken in combat and exert control over the pilot. Also the blood pact allows for the pilot and melef to share wounds. I.E. if an Ispano melef has a rock dropped on it's foot the pilot’s foot is affected the same way. REALLY RARE MODELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SN Darth Toastie if you need to get ahold of me

combat
order of post will determine PC initiative
post your action----- just three actions

when all involved are done I will post results


Combat actions

Free actions
drawing weapons
talking
charge
retreat


things that count as your action

General actions
entering Melefs
writing
starting Melef takes another action

physical actions-
Attack
parry
full defense
Attack forms different number of actions

Psychic powers-
enter Psychic trance
different powers count as different amount of actions




Purchasing attack forms and psychic powers-

Attack

3 basic forms

increase attack power, increase attack hit, and increase Defense

basic attack is +0 to each

when making an attack form adding to one of the attributes cost the following
raising the modifier +5 cost one abi point, next 5 is 2 points more, next is 3 points more, next and each additional 5 is 4 points. subtracting 5 from one of the modifiers gains you 1 abi pt. each form must have at least one negative modifier. negative modifiers limit is -15, and no positive may pass +35. (both are ends are allowed to be broken with permission)

you must create the form and describe it's action and must be approved

Melef forms-same rules as attack forms


Psychic powers, only used by visionaries-



5 elements- fire, earth, air, water, spirit

types (base elements)

Telekinesis (spirit)- ability to physically affect the world (2 ABI pt -first level, 3-2nd. 4-3rd 5-4th, 6-5th)

control 50 lbs per level for force control i.e. force power
control 10 lbs per level for minute control i.e. controlled motion
skill control +5 on modifier per level, must be train in skill to use it i.e. remote lock picking


Precognition, uncontrolled (spirit)- power based from this only has visions at my choosing, although creating a power from this will allow for broader chances by describing triggers and what types of things are able to seen. Precognition also cause physical manifestations i.e. vision of fire could cause burns, etc.
(5points first level, 6 pts- 2nd, 7-3rd, 8-4th, 9-5th, etc.)
each level decrease chance physical manifestations by 5%
increase clarity of vision (see me for details)

Fortune Telling- (spirit) ability to consult diving instrument (i.e. Tarot cards) to see into past, ability to see general future trends and general character information of one specific subject
(2 ABI pt -first level, 3-2nd. 4-3rd 5-4th, 6-5th)



Four physical Elemental control- describe ability to control the element, abilities and limits (point cost and all info determined by me on a case by case basis)

any questions......get ahold of me

I guess I'll wait a couple more days then just give up.
