(can't get enough of cute Chao and wants to spread the word in a RPG)
(wikipedia description here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chao_(video_game) )
Right,after you've familiarized yourself with the rules,here's the lowdown:
Story:What's to say? All is well in the Chao universe until a certain dark Chao raised by Dr. Eggman starts to take over the universe using mechanical Chao. And obviously it's up to you.
Da Rules:First,you need a Chao. Your first one is free but it's extra for the others. This is how a Chao's stats should look:
Name
Face
Swim Growth
Fly Growth
Run Growth
Power Growth
Stamina Growth
Skill
Nameo I need to say it?
Faceescribe how the Chao looks. Is it happy? Angry? Dizzied?
Growths:Now it's complicated. You have 10 growth points to put in your growths. Each growth starts at E, and for each point it rises to D,C,B,A,and S. Depending on your growth,you get different amounts of points in that area when using Chaos Drives and animals. 1 for E,2 for D,etc. When you use a Chaos Drive or animal,add half the growth bonus to the totals.
EX. My Run growth is B,and my Fly growth is S. I use a rabbit. I get +4 run and +4 fly,+1 to Swim,and -3 to Power.
Do not round with halves.
Having points in your stats affects certain things about your Chao:
Swim:Affects water based skills and Chao defense.
Fly:Affects wind based skills and strength of elemental skills.
Run:Affects turn order and earth based skills.
Power:Affects fire based skills and physical attack power.
Stamina:Affects how much HP/SP(Skill Points) the Chao has.
All stats might come in handy during dialogue.
Skill:Eh,just a starting skill so you can fight. You can choose from:
Punch:A basic punch. 3 power,1 SP.
Kick:A basic kick. 4 power,2 SP.
Tackle:A tackle... 5 power,3 SP.
Ember:A small ember shot from the Chao's hand. Fire,2 power,2 SP.
Splash:A few globs of water from the Chao's hand. Water,1 power,multi-hit,2 SP.
Shake:A tiny quake by striking the ground. Earth,3 power,3 SP.
Breeze:A small blast of wind from the Chao's wings. Wind,1 power,1 SP.
There's no exp gauge. Enemies will drop A: A Chaos Drive which will increase 1 stat by a certain amount,or B: A animal that increases multiple stats but might decrease others,except stamina. The animals are:
Raccoon:+1 all stats.
Boar:+2 Run/Power,-1 Swim/Fly.
Condor:+4 Fly,-1 other stats.
Bear:+3 Power,+1 Run,-2 Fly.
Seal:+3 Swim,-1 Run.
Cheetah:+4 Run,-2 Swim.
Parrot:+2 Fly,+1 Power,-1 Run.
Tiger:+2 Power,+1 Swim/Run,-2 Fly.
Otter:+2 Swim,-2 Power.
Rabbit:+2 Run,+1 Fly,+1 Swim,-3 Power.
Peacock:+3 Fly,-2 Run.
Gorilla:+4 Power,-3 Swim.
Penguin:+2 Swim,+1 Run,-1 Fly.
Unicorn:+2 Run,+1 other stats,+1 Stamina.
Phoenix:+2 Fly,+1 other stats,Fire based attack damage decreases.
Dragon:+2 Power/Fly,1 Swim,Fire based attacks require 1 less SP.
Bone Dog:+1 all stats,increases immunity to status defects.
Bat:+3 Fly,Wind and Earth attacks become unavailable,Water attack damage increases.
Half-Fish:+2 Swim,+1 Run,Fire attack damage increases.
Hedgehog:+4 Run,enables double-turning of enemies on certain occasions.
Fox:+2 Swim/Run/Fly,Wind attack damage increases.
Echidna:+3 Power,+2 Run,Earth attack damage increases.
Chaos Drives are simple. They come in Green,Red,Yellow,and Purple. Green ups Run,Red Power,Yellow Swim,and Purple Fly. All of them increase the stat by 1.
Looks like the stats change so much,this will fall apart,no? Relax. You don't get a actual 2 to run when you use a unicorn,nor do you get a actual -3 to power with a rabbit. See,they give you points for a level. Once you get ten points,you get a irreversible level that's the determining factor for a stat.
Wow. That's more complicated than my last RPG. Hopefully this better make up for it. Sign up please!
P.S. All Chao start with 20 HP and SP.
P.P.S. Monk gets +1 growth point for sticking with my old RPG.
