Roentgenium

Roentgenium

 

In the year 2016 life was good. The economy was constantly growing, and there was world peace. This was mostly because all the countries united to form one country that was a presidential democracy called Panga. Everyone was happy and had equal rights in Panga. That was until, one day, two little boys began digging in their backyard. They were innocently playing pirate, searching for treasure. This was until they dug up a glowing red metal. It was Roentgenium, thought to only exist in labs as a synthetic element. They were wrong. Ignorantly, the boys stroked their palms against the blood red, luminous metal. One died on contact, his whole body immediately sprouting warts and green puss oozing out. In an autopsy it was discovered he died of suffocation, as the warts inside his throat blocked any air. The other boy lived, almost unaffected. Almost. Weeks later his parents noticed some new rebellious behavior never seen from their son. He was disobedient and disrespectful. He was getting worse and worse, and exhibiting even terrorist behaviors, such as trying to burn his own house down, trying to murder his mother, or attempted bombing of his elementary school. And then the final change of Roentgenium hit him. He was literally given five Godlike powers. The ability to manipulate the ocean, the weather, metal, and the ability to create more Roentgenium. He began to learn about his powers, and then began a quest for world domination. He started small, successfully murdering his parents, then hijacking governmental control from his city. Local military forces were defeated, and forced to operate under his control. As he grew his empire, He conquered all of North America first, the South America, then Australia, and even claimed Antartica. Asia fell in line, and finally Africa was conquered too. He defeated entire armies by himself. He began a Monopolistic and militant government where he was the leader. He called the shots. All this a seven years old. Conditions were horrible for everyone but him and his generals. The army heavily taxed citizens, taking ninety-five percent of what they owner, part for their own wages, but mostly for the generals and the boy. Citizens were forced to farm, and were only allowed to keep 1/60 of everything they produced. They were all malnourished, and most businesses were shut down. But naturally, the boy rather quickly got bored of his monarchy. Life was too... perfect. For him. Quickly, he had an idea. The boy hired scientists to devise a way to control the Roentgernium what it did to you. It took them twelve years, and many scientists died in the process from touching the Roentgenium. Finally a scientist named Gelimer finally devised a way to do so. She taught the boy how to do it, and then he killed Gelimer. He then told his army to take 1/20 of all children between ages 3-16 to him. This would be done once every six months. The children were exposed to Roentgenium, and the boy, who was now about twenty, a man now, decided what it would do to the children. Some children are to weak to handle Roentgenium nonetheless, and die. Others get odd physical mutations. But ultimately, if you live, the man assigns you a power. He then gives you a weapon you will use. Finally he gives you an option between six animals, an agama lizard, a dog, a cat, a parakeet, an owl, and a salamander. He then gives you the animal, and exposes it to Roentgenium, and lets you decide its power. Any other mutations are random. For some reason, animals never die when exposed to Roentgenium. You are then nourished well for a year, and also undergo training on how to use your power, weapon, and pet. You have so much fun, often having parties with the other kids stolen from their parents. What you don't know is after a year, you are forced to fight as a gladiator against other kids, to the death in a selected arena. Anyone trying to rebel against this rule is immediately killed by the man. If you win enough fights, the man will fight you. To test your abilities. If you win, you take over his kingdom. As always, it is a fight to the death. No one has ever beat the man. However, there is an alternative. You can try to escape. The compound is very high security. It is very rare to escape without being killed by Roentgenium enhanced guards. Two known kids have done it, and are actively being searched for. Their whereabouts unknown. So essentially, the longest anyone's ever lived being a gladiator is nineteen.

 

Plot

You are a kid who is a gladiator. This RP starts five nights before you are about to be forced to become a gladiator. You are in the middle of a compound party.

Weapon Explanations

Most weapons are available in dual forms. Basically dual weapons are two of that weapon, one to hold in each hand. They are faster, but weaker than their singular versions.

Mace and Chain is available in large and small, large makes the mace larger and a lot more powerful, in fact the most powerful weapon, but also makes you slower than any other weapon would. Small makes is you fast (not the fastest) and less powerful (not the weakest),

Blasters allow you to fire large and powerful energy shots, or can be quick rapid fire.

Magic Wands basically enhance your power's ability, and allow you to do more things with it.

No Weapon- you are completely reliant on your pet and power

Powers

 

Fire- Makes you powerful and more devastating, but makes you less defensive. You can generate and manipulate fire. Fire beats earth, shadows, and lightning.

Ice- makes you more versatile and defensive, and you can heal yourself, but your attack isn't too high. You can manipulate Water, ice and steam. Ice beats fire, earth, an mental.

Earth- You are very defensive, yet slow. You manipulate the ground and plants Earth beats shadows, light, and lightning.

Wind- Make you super fast, yet your defense is lowered a lot. You can manipulate wind and any gaseous particle. Wind beats fire ice and combatal

Light- Your speed is extremely high, as is your ability to heal yourself, and you are great at making protective barriers, but you are weak defensively and offensively. You can manipulate light, make it refract, diffuse, reflect, concentrate it... Light beats Mental, Combatal, and sound.

Shadows- You are fast, versatile, and sneaky, offensive yet weak defensively. You can manipulate shadows, and make them solid. Shadows beats light mental and combatal.

Mental- You are strong defensively, but weak offensively. You have psychic, telepathic, and telekinetic powers, and can learn to make illusions. Mental beats sound, combatal, and light.

Combatal- You are strong offensively, but weak to blasts from people's powers. You cannot make blasts with your own powers. Your physical strength is drastically increased. Combatal beats Earth, sound, and ice.

Sound- you are fast, and strong offensively, but you are incapable of being sneaky. You can manipulate sound. Sound beats wind, shadows, and lightning.

Lightning- You are fast, and offensively strong but very innacurate, and cannot take a hit very well. You manipulate thunder and lightning. Lightning beats ice, combatal, ad wind

No Power- You were not given a power, and rely on your weapon and pet.

 

Pets

Agama lizard (if you don't know what it is look it up)- tend to be balanced pets.

Dog- tend to be strong offensively and are weak defensively.

Cat- Tend to be strong defensively and fast, but weak offensively.

Parakeet- Tend to be very fast, yet weak offensively

Owl- tend to be very slow and strong defensively

Salamander- tend to be versatile and strong offensively, but weak defensively.

 

Pets usually gain special abilities other than the power they are given from Roentgenium. But when they die on the battlefield, they are not replaced.

If someone takes the scythe, will it still be available for anyone else?

[Kiran]

Wind- Make you super fast, yet your defense is lowered a lot. You cant manipulate wind and any gaseous particle.

I'm assuming that you mean 'can'?

 

How strong are these powers? Like, with fire would the fighting be more like 'little fireballs' or 'huge walls of fire'? Could someone with wind powers create bursts of wind strong enough to fly, or suck the air from someone's lungs?

[nicknick88]

TE: Yes.

backup: Yea I mean can, and for fire, it could be anything you want, but remember more powerful attacks are also slower and more easily countered, and you also learn more with expiriecne

Still waiting for 2 members before I start this

[MasterWeavile898]

Hmm... I like the premise, but the RP itself is very hard to understand with all the tense swaps and grammatical errors. Still might join when I reach a PC, on the 11th, but could you ecplain more about how the fights are regulated? And will we be fighting each other or NPCs?

 

EDIT: As well as lots of useless information that doesn't show any pertinence later on

Edited December 9, 2013 by MasterWeavile898

[nicknick88]

Fights are basically first one to kill an opponent. There are no rules except stay in an arena. Some arenas will have many luck based factors, such as an occasional geyser exploding, or avalanche. The only rule is stay inside the arena, but I was planning on explaining those things when the RP started. Will you fight each other or NPCs? Both.

 

EDIT: Also what do you mean by swaps?
