Month: January 2016

It was a typical day and morning at the city of Natura.

[OOC] Both of you do not live together, so you two are still strangers at first. [/OOC]

Both of you woke up, tired and groggy after a day of hard work at your respective normal jobs yesterday. You switched off the alarm and cursed silently at it.

Both of you had a similar dream in your sleep. Both of you met in this dream, but in the form of silhouettes, so both of you do not know each other. But both of you were doing your jobs… as bounty hunters this time. It is unknown what is happening. Are you chasing… or chased? 

[OOC] Your choices throughout the entire story affect your role in this dream. Both of you can be chasing after someone, both of you could be chased after by someone, or even both of you are on different sides.[/OOC]

 

“What do you mean!? Why are you doing this!?”

Sadly, both of you woke up right before you know what is going on in the dream. It was a short dream, yet significant. Pondering over the contents of your dream, you carried on with the daily morning ritual – brush teeth, shower, eat breakfast, check mailbox. Very normal stuff.

Both of you were checking your mailboxes. Just then, flipping through the letters that have included morning newspaper, supermarket discount flyers or event flyers, you chanced upon a letter with a logo embossed in it. It was the symbol of the royalty of Natura.

Has your first bounty job finally arrived? Will there be several ‘WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE’ posters somewhere along the content of the letter? Or is this a letter asking for the new bounty hunters to attend a meeting to know the administration details regarding bounty jobs?

Shivering with excitement despite the morning grogginess that you are having, you open up the letter with trembling fingers, opening up to look at the contents.

“please come to the palace immediately. report asap. urgent.”

 

Shocked by the contents of the letter, you search for other contents or the name of the intended recipient of the letter, but you failed to find the letter. You went back to your room and picked up your weapon, ready to head out and find out the truth.

[OOC] How will you go about finding the truth first? What is your weapon? How do you plan to travel around? [/OOC]

[OOC] sorry ah i know this story abit haha[/OOC]

Races

There are five races in Natura. Pardon my very very bad sense of naming.(These are all for recap.)

• Races
  1. Knights
  2. Elves
  3. Cats
  4. Flights
  5. Fishes

Anyway, each race has their own advantage and their own disadvantage depending on the environment they are in.

Knights

These are the humans in the city of Natura. They have no distinctive traits (duh). However, they have survived till today due to their high intelligence and good instincts. Many of them are easy-going, thus they have the ability get along with the other races quite well. It was also because of that they are considered the leaders of the city of Natura.

Skill: +2 Intelligence in any situation that requires it.
However, a -2 Str and Agil in water or at sky, unless they can find a vehicle of sorts.

Elves

[OOC] Pretty much like the elves in normal games [/OOC]. Elves are the hunters in the forest, and are responsible for the fresh stock of meat and vegetables that you need to survive. Many of them become food hunters and marksmen, although some of them, like some of them from other races, become bounty hunters, where one can only become after going through vigorous training and examinations.

+2 Agil +2 Intel in the forest, however -2 Str in water or at sky no matter what.

Cats

Professional night-watchers and experts at scaling heights and climbing over walls. Cats are known to be more active at night, thus many watch and guard the city at night from attacks. These cats are also well-trained for combat, and are the main bulk responsible for a peaceful Natura. However though, they are known to be feisty and impatient when not hunting, so respond quickly when you talk to them!

+2 Agil +2 Str at night, however -2 Intel when trying to engage in a conversation

Flights

Flights are the experts at the skies. They are very mobile at the skies, being the messengers and deliverymen of Natura, sending letters everywhere at fast speeds.Many are known to be very gentle and caring. However, it is also because of that they are not suited for combat.[OOC] There are a few exceptions of Flights that work in combat jobs [/OOC] They have very, very good agility in the sky and are able to dodge attacks there very easily!!

+3 Agil in sky, however -2 Str in combat

Fishes

They move the best in water! This is the race that is responsible for the daily fish stock in Natura, which many depend on to survive as a source of nutrition. Fishes are graceful in water and are characterised by their gills at their backs. However, they move much more slowly at land, since they have to switch their way of breathing every time they transit between land and water, unless they have a breathing aid and water skates.

Skill: +2 Str +2 Agil in water, however -3 Agil on land, unless you can manage to get one of those above

[OOC]So players, you can now edit your stats one more time after reading this, Do you want to edit them? :p[/OOC]

Bounty hunters

Bounty hunters can be from any of the five races. To be an official bounty hunter, one must register for a bounty course where each and everyone must go through gruelling training for ten months before taking the test. There is a quota though, so the rates of passing is always at a certain percentage or below annually.

Many people do want to become one despite having only good occasional bounties half of the time. This is because they are respected as people who can defend Natura whenever there is trouble.

Bounty hunter is like a second job while they work on their daily jobs.

You two are new bounty hunters that have just passed your tests, by the way. You guys do not have any jobs yet.

[OOC]So have you caught on?[/OOC]

Transportation

After reading the races, you might be wondering how do some of these (e.g fishes) move normally? They can still walk but they would walk much more slowly.

And that is why there are some vehicles and items that aid these races (esp. flights and fishes) in travelling. For examples, fishes could purchase or request for a water skate to be made suited to their needs.

Natura is a big city, so walking may be quite a burden for those people whom are carrying heavy things. Trains and hot air balloons are available as a way of daily transport. However, for those whom are not carry as many things, they might choose to walk instead, as the people there take their morning exercise and walks very seriously.
