The Installation
The Installation is an RPG with no Classes, instead using the Biology you choose from the beginning, and the Powers you get will build on top of that. Be careful with your choices, as they will have lasting consequences.
It ALL BEGINS AFTER A SINGLE ANSWER: [Y/N]
At exactly 12:00 AM Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), every human on earth spontaneously fell unconscious for exactly 4 hours. During this time, a game-like AI forcibly installs itself into every consciousness.
Upon waking, those that survived realized they are one of the lucky few. Only 15% of the population survived this event and now the bodies of the fallen litter the world. The fallen either died from the initial psychological trauma of the installation, or by being victims to an accident caused by falling asleep at inoportune times--vehicle crashes, drowning, falling, building fires, etc. The world suddenly looks apocalyptic.
Yet that's not all that goes noticed. Every living person also wakes up to see a hovering, holographic message from this new AI, displaying a 5-minute timer and a long block of text.
"[Welcome to the Transcendent Ascension Leveling Engine, or TALE. To begin as a Player, you must undergo Character Creation. If you leave the Temporary Safe Zone established upon your waking or you do not complete Character Creation in the alloted 5 minutes, you will be assigned as a Non-Playable Character and will not have access to the convencional leveling system.]
[Begin Character Creation? Y/N]"
This is where your story begins! What will you do? What will you be? Who will you become in a post-apocalyptic world now filled with magic, monsters, gods, and open-world RPG mechanics?
TALE has no Class system. Instead, you will choose a Biology and Powers to start. Assign you own Skills after Character Creation. Acquire Powers and points as you level up. Use them for good, evil, or anything in between.
This is my very first world, so please be patient with me. The premise isn't mine, I just took the original idea and gave it my own interpretation. This is very much a WIP; most images used are placeholders from the Realm Realistic Flow system, and almost all files are also from the system. Thanks for swinging by, and have a great day/afternoon/night.
PS: Only select the "Player" character to begin, as it's meant to be a blank slate for everyone to use and customize, but only after completing the Character Creation made by the GM, since it'll change the most important tab of your Character Sheet: the Status Sheet (SS). Use TALE's Encyclopedia in-game for more info on various subjects. The turn after you finish the Character Creation might take a while, since the GM will modify your Character Sheet.
Also, I highly advise you check Chapter 3 of the Player's Handbook to know more about talking to the GM.
