An ancient evil awakens...

>Pick a shape
[humanoid]
[sea creature]
[bird]
[gas]
[liquid]
[write-in available]

You remember two words from your ancient language.

>Word 1
[create]
[destroy]
[manipulate]
[absorb]

>Word 2
[fire]
[water]
[earth]
[air]
[life]
[energy]
[matter]
[write-in available]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAME INFORMATION
When you learn a word it is assigned lvl 1.
Each level corresponds to 1d4.
When using words roll the number of d4s equal to their combined level.

Rolls using words will be against the DC for the task.
Higher rolls than the DC may equal higher effects.
The DC for any given task is determined by the environment and the caster.
The best way to understand is through an example.

Lets ignore the environment and create a DC for shooting a fireball from your hand.
If you have [create] and [fire], regardless of their level, the DC is 3.

Now imagine instead you knew the words [manipulate] and [matter].
The DC would be 9 if we ignore any environmental bonuses.
However, In a volcano the DC may be 3 or lower.

Specific skills = low dc, high reliability
Broader skills = high dc, high versatility

Hopefully you can understand from the example how each play styles could work in different scenarios.
Everything else will be explained when necessary.
If you have any questions please post them now otherwise create a character.
The character with the most votes will be our main character.

So it shall be.

Our villain awakens deep below the earth in a dusty tomb.
A young boy sits before him trembling.

A quick survey of the room reveals that our villain is bound by chain.
The ground beneath him etched in ancient text.

Two words echo in our villains mind.
[absorb]
[matter]

The words are burned into our villain's mind.
They were the last thing our villain heard before the great hero vanquished him.
The language of the gods, if only our villain could remember them all.

What does our villain do next?
>>
>>436120
Absorb the chains
>>
>>436120
absorb the chain, of course
>>
>>436122
yep
>>
>>436120
Absorb dem chains and morph it to our arms like plate armor
>>
>>436120
Absorb
>>
>>436122
>>436124

Without a second thought our villain calls upon the very power that placed him into this deep sleep.
The chains around our villain disintegrate into atoms, and then into nothing.
Deep within our villain a power grows.

The boy expression of fear greatness.
However, beneath the surface one can see a sense of wonder in the boys eyes.
>>
>>436138
Absorb him
>>
>>436138
Ignore the boy and continue our escape from this prison.
>>
>>436138
>The boy expression of fear greatness.
jesus christ, you guys know what i meant to type
also don't forget those rolls for extra effects
if you don't roll i give you the average of our villain's strength
>>
>>436145
Yup, lone wolf baby.
>>
>>436145
>>436150
Our villain turns his attention to the boy.
The moment our villain's eyes lock with the child his fate is sealed.

Paralyzed by fear, the boy gasps for air.
Deep within our villain's mind he murmurs the ancient spell
[absorb][matter]

Beginning with the feet and hands, the boy's body begins to disintegrate.
The boy has not grasped what is occurring.

Will our villain continue until the boy is completely gone?
>>
>>436161
Yes.
>>
>>436161
Might as well keep going unless we want to leave him a cripple.
>>
>>436161
Yes start absorbing the room, more powert
>>
>>436161
Yes, Absorb his knowledge and learn.
>>
>>436167
How long did it take for our villain to completely absorb the child?
From any observer, even I, the world seemed to stand still.
The motionless villain and paralyzed boy locked in the transfer of matter.

However, the event came to end.
Inside our villain a power grew.
The body and mind of a young boy completely absorbed.
The memories of his life swirled in the mind of our villain.
The easiest of his knowledge to understand was the common language of the area.

Even deeper within our villain the soul of the young boy stired.
It seemed that this element was not and could not be absorbed.
In fact its possible that it only dwells inside our hero of its own free will.
Perhaps it still clung to it's material body.

Regardless our villain moves on.
Or does it?
>>
>>436192
Absorb more matter, we need more power
>>
>>436192
Get to the surface, so we can absorb more people.
>>
>>436192
Leave the boy's soul on a link of chain, then put the link in a pocket of some such.
(Nigger we are making chains of souls to wear)
>>
>>436197
No let's eat inanimate objects to power up first
>>
>>436196
>>436197
>>436198
I like all three of these
gimme a sec to type it out

Something clicks in our villain's mind.
A grin creeps across its shadowy face.
If you could call it a face...

>[Absorb] now level 2
>[Matter] now level 2
>Bonus tip: can you figure out what caused our villain to level up? each word gains power from different conditions. no need to type a response just something fun to think about.

Our villain reaches outward with his mind.
His motive is clear, more power!
The room begins to shake as our villain absorbs the tomb.

Everything from the dirt to the ancient text beneath our villain's feat is absorbed. Everything but one chain.

Our villain looks inward to the boys soul.
The boy does not respond.
Unable to remember the words required to manipulate the boy's soul our villain opts to save the chain for later.

From the dirt our villain arises under a heap of dirt.
>>
>>436242
>his his dirt dirt
I really should proof read before hitting post
please forgive me quest-ees
>>
>>436242
>ancient text
Fuck should have read it
Whatever thanks for the blatant level up reasons
Guess that this is skyrim now?
>>
>>436242
Eat our way out
>>
>>436242
Check our surroundings before we start absorbing
>>
>>436249
>>436255

Carefully our villain frees himself from the mound of dirt through various arm movements and what could only be described as eating.
If one could call that a mouth...

Surrounding our villain are 25 graves, each with fresh flowers by the headstone.
At our villains feet lies a shatter headstone. The name is illegible.
The wind blows and for a moment our villain can sense area.
Our villain faces north, at the peak of hill.
To the west is the port city of Jacksonville, as named by the boy's memories.

Suddenly the grave to the left of our hero rumbles.
A hand burst from the dirt.
>>
>>436277
Help the hand up, then if it is hostile absorb it.
>>
>>436277
Allow it to rise, see what it is.
>>
>>436286
Our villain reaches down to give the hand...a hand.
The moment the hands touch our villain hears a familiar word.

What is that word?
The thought drives our villain mad.

Simultaneously the hand [binds] to our villain's hand.
From the dirt bursts the remains of a hero from another time.
A skeleton covered in rags that have long lost their color.

In the skeleton's free hand lies a crumbling spear with a shinny tip.

Before our villain is impaled by the skeleton, the spear's handle crumbles.
Our villain takes the moment to begin absorbing the skeleton.

In a flash our villain is holding nothing but air.
The matter from the skeleton did not do much for our villain but the spear head proved to provide tremendous power.

A new word is on the tip of our villain's mind.
>>
>>436288
This, could be a minion. But we will not lower ourselves to helping it up.
>>
>>436303
With our new word try to bind the soul of the boy into the chain.
>>
>>436303
Ah, so now we can bind the soul to the link. Also take the spearhead if we haven't absorbed it
>>
Rolled 3 (1d4)

>>436309
this roll will determine if our villain remembers the word [bind]

>>436313
the spearhead is absorbed
>>
>>436303
And absorb more
>>
>>436323
[bind]! our villain says.
The word echos with power.

Our villain turns inward towards the boys soul.
[bind] our villain says again, this time with the chain and soul in mind.
Neither the soul nor the chain responds.

>>436324
Our villain turns its attention outward.
Headstones, flowers, vases, water, grass, air, all of it absorbed.

As our villain walks along the hill top, all that is becomes part of our villain.


>Current Words
[manipulate]
--[bind] (subsection of manipulate)
[matter]
>>
>>436345
So do we roll for relative level of power?
>>
>>436356
Roll anytime you want to take a chance to do something better.
A good roll will increase the effect and a bad roll will weaken it.

For example, you're not strong enough to absorb a human in one "turn" yet but you could with a good roll.
>>
>>436345
Continue absorbing as much of the forest as we can.
>>
Rolled 44 (1d100)

>>436364
Rolling to feel and understand the power as we absorb the countryside walking over it
>>
>>436345
Absorb more
>>
Sorry guys I should have been more clear

>>436372
its not a forest its a hill with a graveyard / memorial on top.
deep in the center of the hill lied the tomb our villain awoke in.

>>436373
I meant you would roll when using the [words]
its 1d4 per level per word

on second thought rolling a d100 for general events is fine too
i'll do something special if the roll is over 85 or less than 15
>>
>next response on the way
>which direction should our villain walk while absorbing?
>>
>>436385
First just around, then to villiage once we are strong enough
>>
>>436389
We can't just keep absorbing shit how lckluster is that bullshit? Just travel deep into any mountains we see off into the distance to make our lair
>>
>>436389

Our villain wanders the hillside absorbing all that is.
In an hours time our villain reduced the hillside to a flat plain.
Our villain's body expands and contracts, pulsating with power as the matter is absorbed.
Two major events happened during the absorption.

Among the matter our villain felt a familiar structure. The human body.
From the memories our villain learns much of the town below.
A new soul shares dominion with the boy deep in our villain.

The soundscape of the town has changed.
A calm bustle has turned into a hurried panic.

POWER WORD UPDATE

POWER WORD UPDATE
>[absorb] lvl 3
>[matter] lvl2
>-[bind] lvl1
>>
>>436410
Advance on the village, absorb all that you pass.
>>
>>436420
We can't, we need to be able to eat people in 1 turn first or pick them off
>>
>>436345
Also there was a typo here

our villain doesn't know the word [manipulate]
>>
>>436420
>>436421
each of you roll a d100, high roll wins
>>
>>436421
Absorb has grown more powerful, in one turn we seem to get a majority of their body thus crippling them. We should be fine as long as a hero doesn't show up.
>>
>>436421
Well, our [absorb] just leveled up, so we might be able to now?
Maybe.
>>
>into town we go, writing response
>>
The physical weight of our villain becomes apparent as it walks toward the town.
Each step shakes the ground as if a small band of men were marching.

Our villain reaches the edge of the country side.
A highway stretches west to the city.
The horizon is not obscured, our villain can clearly see the main entrance to the city.

Our villain starts down the highway towards the city.
At this rate our villain will be there shortly.

>absorb as we walk?
>run?
>other?
>>
>>436444
Absorb
>>
>>436444
>absorb as we walk?
Let us become an unstoppable force of nature

>>436448
>>436449
The ground crumbles.
The trees bend.
The air slams together as our villain leaves vacuums of empty space.
All is absorbed in the march.

Among the matter there were 4 pieces of metal our villain did not recognize until consulting with the memories of the child and man.
The pieces of metal were high caliber rounds.
It seems neither individual possessed much technical knowledge but regardless our villain now understands the concept of firearms.

The city stands before our villain.
Various armor trucks block the road ahead.
A helicopter flys above.

Shall our villain continue the march?
>>
>>436470
No, let's be stealthy now
>>
>>436470
Continue the march, absorb all who resist.
>>
>>436470
Absorb and mend into the ground.
Use manipulation and absorb to make a massive sinkhole.
>>
>>436477
We don't actually know manipulation yet, we only have bind, which is a subpower of manip.
>>
>>436476
From our villain's perspective, anything that is not part of it is resisting.
The path is clear. Our villain walks on.

The humans open fire on our villain.
The bullets cannot piece the now dense outer layer.
Still our villain is momentarily shocked by the impact.
The memories of those absorbed did not accurately portray the power of firearms.
Our villain shutters at the thought of being shot at any moment earlier than this.

Surprisingly the humans hold their ground as our villain comes within feet of the first line of trucks.
The trucks start to disintegrate slowly.
Fear finally sets into the humans.

Does our villain focus on the trucks or the humans?
Some focus will be required for either.
>>
>>436498
Trucks
>>
>>436498
First the humans, they dare to try and harm us with these contraptions known as firearms.
>>
>>436498
What ever is closer
>>
>>436498
the humans
>>
Our villain decides to focus on the armored trucks.
The matter is dense and satisfying to absorb.

The humans flee down the highway to the next line of trucks.
The barrage of bullets has ceased.

From above you hear a loud voice.
"STOP WHERE YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY"
the voice continues
"This is the Special Emergency Response Team Lieutenant Commander Rays.
If you can understand me please lay face down onto the ground."

>Words
[absorb] lvl4
[matter] lvl3
[bind] lvl 1
>>
>>436532
Concentrate on the source of the voice. Find this man and destroy him for thinking he can order us like that.
>>
>>436537
It takes but a second for our villain to locate the source.
Where there was once 1 helicopter in the sky, there is now 2.

However, the second is clearly labeled ERT.
The blades are of a different caliber.

Our villain stares, pondering how to reach the helicopter.

The voice begins again
"Thank you for stopping now please lay face down on the ground."
>>
>>436543
How powerful is our general physical strength right now?
>>
>>436543
can we eject some matter at high speed out of our body?
>>
>>436543
Absorb the air, create a vaccum to suck then in
>>
>>436545
Our current physical strength comes from weight.
Without [manipulate] or a better understanding of how to use our body, we can't use our weight to lift things/do anything that requires precision.

A punch wouldn't work. A jump wouldn't work.
Basically we need to find a ledge a fall on something to utilize our physical strength at this phase.
>>
>>436555
requires [manipulate]

>>436556
now we're talking!!!
response incoming
>>
>>436556
Lets do this then.
>>
Rolled 6, 4, 4, 6, 4, 6, 5 = 35 (7d6)

>>
>>436573
Scared
>>
>>436573
In the next instant the space between the two helicopters and our villain became empty.
At an astonishing speed our villain was thrust upwards into the air.
Simultaneously both helicopters crashed into each other, forming a ball of metal a fire heading towards our villain.

At the head of the ball of fire stands Lieutenant Rays.

Our villain and Rays maintain eye contact as they hurdle towards each other at hundreds of miles an hour.

>our high roll didn't give Rays a chance to do anything but barely escape death
>we still have the upper hand, we can make one more move before Ray's can react.
>what shall it be?
>>
>>436580
Make a vacuum to smash him and the ball into the ground, then dive unto him and start absorbing.
>>
>>436580
Bind stone to his soldiers, then do what the other guy said
>>
>>436584
In an instant another patch of air disappears.
The new vacuum pulls Rays just off course enough to miss our villain.

Rays slams into the ground.
A ball of fire and metal follow suit.

As our villain falls from the sky towards the crater where Rays lies, one thing seems strange.
Neither Rays or the helicopters made a crashing sound upon impact with the ground.

Its too late to change course, our villain has reached terminal velocity.

>another post incoming
>>
>>436596
Our villain melts through the destroyed helicopter and into the crater.
For a moment the world stops.

Struggling to remain conscious it's as if our villain had returned to his slumber.
There is nothing. All the senses are giving our villain's consciousness nothing.
The only thing that assures our villain that it exists is the fact that the boy's soul is also in distress.

Suddenly our villain hears the words [absorb] [energy]
Was it a memory?
No our villain is sure this is the present.

Another voice speaks, its the man absorbed from the mountain.
"It was Rays, The Kinetic God"

Our villain searches the memories of the man to reveal the truth.
Rays is the direct decedent one of the 25 heroes who banded together thousands of years ago to stop the evil that is our villain. The hero's name was The Kinetic God.

The Kinetic God used [manipulate],[absorb], and [energy] to affect the movement of just about everything.
After one of his fights with our villain, the world would need to adjust their clocks because The kinetic God had utilized the earth's rotational energy in his attacks thus throwing off the day and night cycle.

While the information was interesting, our villain had only option.
Deep without our villain's consciousness the words [absorb][matter] echoed.

As our villain regained consciousness, a damaged Rays began to disintegrate.
Beneath the wreckage of the helicopters Lieutenant Rays was fully absorbed by our Villain.

>That's it for tonight guys, thanks so much for questing with me.
>I'll probably be back around the same time tomorrow.
>>
>additionally our villain will learn his true name from Ray's memories. If you guys have any suggestions for a name, post em here
>>
>>436617
Idk about name
>>
>>436618
he is the dark lord chinchin
>>
>>436618
The Dark Lord Rick McSlab
>>
Transvoro. It's latin for devour
>>
>>444830
Or "Devorantem" (devourer)
>>
O-op is okay, r-right guys?
>>
>>445664
4 days since last contact, it would be sad but possibility op is kill. May he proves us wrong quickly!
>>
op here, sorry for the absence. I had an emergency at my home and I can't use my computer.

I'll be ready by tomorrow night, most likely with a new thread.
I just hope I have time to screen cap this thread before it 404s
