time: 2782, ten years after the meteor setting: Acmetropolis plot: Optimatus has every villian under his command, except for the few that are freelance, and (even less) those who are good. They control the government, and own Acmetropolis. Zadavia and the Loonatics head a rebellion army against them. So far, no villian has been able to capture more than one Loonatic at a time, despite the fact that their powers are upgraded. The two sides are nearly on the verge of war. Citizens are relatively unaffected, save for when fighting breaks out - occasionally, residents are caught in battles between good and evil.
This is my idea for a role-playing board. The problem is that the only boards I have experience in making are Proboards, and those are too simple, and I have barely any coding knowledge as it is. Another problem is that there probably wouldn't be anyone going there anyways, if I made it. So I'm requesting help in setting up a role-playing board with this plot.
Maybe if there were team-based battles (2-8 players per team), each player can PM their own role-playing paragraph if he/she won as well as one in case they lost. You can then determine the victor considering the factors below, and the team's strengths and weaknesses.
What determines the victor: overall team strength, best tactics, environmental conditions, special abilities.
Individual Strength (IND STR): This is on a scale of 1 to 100, based on the character's powers and individual abilities. Determines how much damage he/she will dish out to the opposing team if that character's team wins, usually in a loss of HP. That's based on how severe the defeat is.
Individual Intelligence (IND INT): Scale of 1 to 100, based on how smart the character is. The lower this stat is, the more likely that character is to make bad decisions that prove detrimental to the whole team.
Individual Willpower (IND WIL): Scale of 1 to 100, based on how resistant the character is to mind control. It also determines how quickly his EP (Energy Points) recharges (EP is WIL x5); EP is used when a character uses his/her powers. Normal Recharge (50 WIL): 50 EP/day. Super Recharge (75 WIL): 75 EP/day. Hyper Recharge (100 WIL): 100 EP/day. The maximum EP anyone can have is 500.
Individual Speed (IND SPD): 1-100. How fast the character is. Duh. Also determines how good he/she is at scouting and reporting enemy positions to his team.
Individual Agility (IND AGL): 1-100. How high a character can jump. Good for sniping on top of buildings with long-range powers or weapons.
Individual Endurance (IND END): 1-100. How much HP a character has (HP is END x5) and how fast it recovers. Max HP anyone can have: 500. Normal Recharge (50 END): 50 HP/day. Super Recharge (75 END): 75 HP/day. Hyper Recharge (100 WIL): 100 HP/day.
Individual Leadership/Personality (IND PER): Determines if a character is able to lead his team into battle. For the Loonatics: the leadership in this team goes to the one with the most Personality. For Optimatus' Legion: the leadership in this team goes to the lowest Personality.
Creating a character.
In order to create a character, you must start with a blank template.
Description: Who is he/she, and why did she join the team.
Powers (Maximum: 3): These provide special bonuses to your stats (+25 to any 2 stats).
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Weapons (if appliciable): If your powers happen to get stolen by someone, equip these to blow away the opposition (Maximum: 2). Weapons can be from any video-game franchise.
80 Bonus Points (BP) Remaining...
You can create your character using this template, but you can only distribute 80 points among all your skills. Also, follow these simple rules.
1. NO GODLIKE POWERS! 2. NO INVINCIBILITY! 3. You need a theme song, a battle song, and a victory song to go with your character. Put the song names in this format:
Theme: ? Battle Music: ? Victory Music: ?
Post the links to said songs if possible.
4. You can also give traits to your character to make him/her stronger or weaker. (Get your calculator!) For every weakness given to a character (be realistic please), you gain 10 extra points to use for your character's stats. For every strength you give, you spend 10 points from your reservoir of Bonus Points. Allocate these points until none are remaining. Max Weaknesses: 5. Max Strengths: 5.
5. Include a link to a picture of your character if possible.
*needs time to catch breath* In the meantime...I'll post my stats here.

However, he had to be trained through the SPARTAN-II program to wear it (military tactics, genetic enhancements, etc.), because if he tried to wear the armor in his non-augmented state, every bone in his body would have been crushed right about now.

ERROR 1: Invalid # of HP (HP is END x5). ERROR 2: Invalid # of EP (EP is WIL x5). ERROR 3: You also have to put the attribute changes from your powers in there as well.

Description: Orphaned at birth, Geo grew up on the streets after running away from the orphanage (that blew up later >_>) with his best friend, Crystal. They grew up with a gang of thieves who adopted them. He was relatively unaffected by the meteor, besides the fact that he got powers. (<_<) When Optimatus took over, he was enlisted in the army, but dodged out, being a not-very-violent sort of guy. Unfortunately, soldiers came eventually and, upon not being able to find Geo, took Crystal instead. Devastated that Crystal was gone, he joined the Loonatics' army to fight Optimatus's army in hope that he can get Crystal back.
