Note: Wasn't sure where to post this, so I picked the general discussion thread.

This thread is for a RPG (Role Playing Game, for the whole 2 of you who don't know what RPG's are) based on the Mortal Kombat Series, and the whole idea of the tournament itself...mostly.

Let me explain the basic things first.

HOW TO JOIN

Easy, think of an MK Character, go to the MK Wiki if you really have to, (though most shouldn't have to) and post in here, saying you want that character, like this...

ElderGod: I'd like to reserve Sub-Zero for the RPG.

And as long as that character isn't taken, you can have them for use.

HOW TO PLAY

The game works on one central theme, being put in a situation, and making actions to advance. For Example, you could be playing as Quan Chi and trying to fool Scorpion (Bad Example, but one nonetheless) into thinking Sub-Zero killed his clan and family. You, as Quan Chi, need to take actions, such as making an illusion image (Like MK9) or simply talking would be an action, and I, who represent the Elder Gods and who ever is NOT controlled by a user, would decide if you succeed or fail.

BATTLES

Battles work basically the same way, though you have two new functions, two meters!

HP: Stands for Health Points, I'm sure I don't need to explain, but it...(GASP) is your health! Lose it, and you lose the battle.

SP: Special Points, used for attack functions, explained below.

Attack Functions are things that use SP to do new attacks. The Major one being...

X-RAY MOVES

Characters with a full SP meter (Gained by hitting/defending attacks) can use an X-Ray Move, where they can do 5 Attacks that hit no matter what, with the only restrictions being that...

1: You can not kill the opponent
2: You can not disable an opponent, like cutting off a limb, or impaling them

...They can however, break bones and such, as long as the opponent only loses HP, the more creative the combo, the more damage.

Another function is a Combo, each Extra hit needs 10 SP, but allows you to do another attack during your turn, with the opponent able to defend the attack still, but it costs less.

STORY

The game starts during the first MK Tournament, with no time travel or such, but effects CAN be altered, and characters added, EX: Tanya in the first Tournament, if a player chooses a person like such. For more story, I need to know who is playing as who, so I can work around it.
