Hello, gang!! Welcome to my new RPG, not connected to any of my past (and prolly horrible) bots. Today, I've made an RPG with a bit of an abstract and unique power system, based off of a real good artist I saw called A.Shipwright. Before we start off, I'd like to say thank yall so much for the attention my bots have been getting. This is defiinitely my most creative project yet, even if it was inspired. Without further ado, hope this isn't an eyesore to read, and let's begin!
This RPG takes place in a world where it is somewhat apocalyptic, but still has future technology like Androids and Lasers, and whatnot. The individuals in this world are quite abstract in their own ways, and androids are practically apart of society, helping around houses and whatnot. There are multiple types of androids, like Military, Work Androids, etc, but that's not the main focus of this world. There aren't any pre-written factions within the lands, so you can go wild with the amount of control you have in Spiceworld. In this RPG, there are people called Outers. Outers have special abilities that come in abstract forms and shapes, but in reality, it's more like just barebones Energy, as if they get a meter of mana, they can use to form techniques and such. Androids can be Outers, but it's very very rare. They usually follow under the categories listed below. Only one style can be learnt by an Outer, unless they're funky wit it. Also, the currency is called Spice-Credits, or just Credits.
Finger Hex - Finger Hex is a style in which an Outer casts multiple incantations with their hands, to inflict curses upon things. Burning, Explosion, Poisoned, Decaying, etc. It can be Objects or Living Beings, but more complicated curses are harder to pull off with multiple handsigns. They don't have to be debuffs either, if a good Finger Hex user came about and used their technique for good then there wouldn't be a problem.
Scromonmancy - Scromon are basically just scrolls, like runes imprinted onto them. Scromon users usually go their entire life learning only like 4 entire Scromon symbols because they're hard to draw and remember for the rest of your life, but Scromon users can also just use random scrolls they find around. These Scromon can range from Physical Buffs inflicted on others or oneself, or simple spells, or even conjuration spells. Don't be afraid to get creative.
Diskmonmancy - Diskmon are digital scrolls, basically USB Drives and whatnot. Diskmon users have to have a special mechanical implant surgically added to a section of their body so they can actually use them. When a Diskmon has been plugged into a user, they can essentially project the data inside the Diskmon outwards. Basically digital spells. Yep. Androids and Robots are Diskmon users by default, but if they're Outers that doesn't mean they're forced to be Diskmon users, it's just an added bonus. Unlike Scromon, Diskmon can be made on the fly whenever, so long as one has the equipment to do it. Think of em' like Spell Cassette tapes.
Paratensho - Paratensho is an odd case in that it isn't a style that can't be learned, an Outer has to be born with it ingrained in their mind and body. Paratensho gives the user one unique yet somewhat powerful ability depending on the user, so some dude that is a Paratensho Outer could literally just have a cinderblock for a head and be made of stone, while others could manipulate sand and blood. This Outer Style is basically a: "go buck fucking wild."
Aphyxal - Aphyxal, like Paratensho, cannot be learned. Aphyxal is the art of breaking the fourth wall completely to steal concepts from a specific thing, like Action Lines to go faster, or Impact Frames to hit harder. Every Aphyxal can only specialize in using one Fourth Wall concept, and when they first use their unique Aphyxal ability it's usually the only thing they can do for the rest of their life, so pick wisely. It doesn't just stop at Physical Things though, so some people could be able to manipulate their surroundings as if it were Code.
