I changed my story slightly to make it more attractive. The game is called "Azure Wyrm ".
"Azure" = a shade of blue. (I wanted this to represent Blue Magic skills in the Final Fantasy universe. The abilities you'll gain through play are all based on what you've encountered and gained permanently as evolutionary bonuses or traits.)
"Wyrm" = a type of dragon. (The players will eventually evolve into dragons, but not just one kind. Will you become Wyvern, Dragon, Wyrm, Chinese Dragon, Water Dragon, Linnorm or Mountain Dragon?)
Plot and setting: Earth, in the near future. Geneticists have been experimenting trying to create an adaptable life-form that can single-handedly solve any ecological problems. It starts out formless, just like slime. Wherever they put the slime, it will first eat things to blend in with the area and gain traits unique to the area itself (gills near or in water, natural internal cooling if in the desert, camoflauge in the forest, etc.)
But the scientists did not test thier experiments with you properly, and thought you were a failure. Instead of dispose of you properly, they dump you out somewhere that they think no one will find you and are left for dead. But you are not a failure, instead you are the greatest success! But because they disposed of you, they didn't put out the 'territory marker' chemicals, commanding your biology to stay within its borders. You are free.
Gain body parts, special abilities, stat bonuses and more by eating genetic material- plants or animals, alive or dead. Gain special abilities of various kinds by eating other items, like chemicals, medicines, tools, or other items. Some powers/abilties can only be unlocked with certain conditions... I'll let you know Eating people doesn't get you body parts, instead you learn what that person knew. (Prototype did that too, but they aren't doing it how I am.) Some people have special knowledge. A good goal to have is to make a Lair to store your loot, once you have interest in doing it.
All players must start at the 'slime' stage, and can choose from a few start locations:
Beach
Swamp
Forest
Sewer
Desert
Or if I give permission, you can come up with new ones and I'll figure out what you encounter there. The start locations must be places that actually exist right now on this planet and time. A fun goal is your dragon hoard, which I'll go into more detail with once the game is approved and someone gets to 'dragon' stage. Your lair can be looted. Humans, NPC dragons, or other player dragons might steal from your hoard, which affects some of your stats.
Elemental breath weapons I thought of so far: Fire, Ice, Water, Lightning, Rock, Concussion (air), Darkness, Light
Status breath : Sleep, Poison, Blindness, Slow, Itchy, Drunk
Weather control : Sandstorm, Hurricane
Non-dragon abilities that are fun anyway: Cannonball breath, mortar cannons, carpet bomb, radar sense
Those aren't the only abilities, just a very small list, and you can combine any abilties together that you want. I'm very very open to everyone making up new abilities too! Who knows, I might just ask for your permission to put you in the credits when the game does come out, whenever that is 🙂
@magicturtle: It'll be 3d, for sure. How will the gameplay feel? Here's a few games that partially inspired me, so if you know those games, you'll feel comfortable with the controller on this one.
Dragon Rage: Every living thing can be eaten, and every building and other things are destroyable.
Destroy All Humans: Instead of using a UFO and a laser beam, it's a dragon and fire breath (or some other attack type) but you get to destroy the entire city.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City: The more havoc you wreak, the more and bigger enemies come at you. Difference with Azure Wyrm is that go ahead and die if you have a hidden save point. You respawn, and you did die, so no one thinks to look for you anymore. Ha!
Drakengard: Aerial combat maneuvers with your dragon (in this case, you)
Prototype: Advance your understanding of some of the story aspects by eating people who know what you want to learn. In my game, some people have different traits, like a jerk with a convertible thinks money makes you powerful, and if you eat him, his thoughts are real and thats why you gain stat bonuses from loot in your Lair. Also, eating things refills your life since you need the bio-mass to replace yours. But you can also eat dead stuff or plants, not just people.
Dragon Age: Origins-> I like the size of the dragons there in comparison to the size of people. Very fitting! That'll kinda be 'max size'.
Just some of what the game'll have. But we can talk about that later just you and me (or me and everyone who wants to know) but I really wanna concentrate on the RPG here for now, since I'm sure we'll come up with better gameplay than I already thought of myself! Oh, and I always site my sources and give credit where credit is due, so please don't possibly be turned off thinking you'll help make a great game and not get glory for it. You WILL!
Does anyone own a copy of one of the 'Total War' series games? I have an idea for a really interesting RP where we would incorporate one of the games.
But before I get into it, I want to see how many active RPers in the forums actually own either:
Medievial II
Empire
Napoleon
Enough bites and I'll propose my idea.

Your task, to infiltrate enemy bases and steal technology and information. The enemy is the Gurdarn Alliance, mainly comprised of Futhyarks, ( Pronounced Fur-Th-yarks ) Slime based skeletal creatures, and Jikaopx, Humanoid in stature they seem harmless enough, but do not under-estimate they're strength.

Civilizations
Galactic Order Alliance:
Earth-Homeland of the human civilization.
Huroak[Orbits Alpha Centurai B]-Rocky planet with scattered, spotted regions of dense forests of Kuthyak.(Purple colored, bushy plant, when exposed onto skin, can cause rash)
Yura[Orbits Ross-154]-Water based planet with floating islands of igneous rock that formed when a giant crater smashed into the planet nearly eliminating all life.
Fiadath[Orbits 61-Cygni]-Desolate, ice planet, Its poles are the warmest places because magma from the core flows directly into two gysers, both at the poles.
Yingtuth[Orbits Epsilon Eridani] fertile, green, earth like planet except that the planet is nearly, mostly made out of forests (think about the planet in Avatar)
Gurdarn Alliance:
Bytaphon[Orbits SCR 1845-6357 B] Home of the Futhyarks, Lush planet until the industrialization period hit, the furthyarks became so obsessed with making everything mechanical that they destroyed all life forms except for the vegetation which they keep in secure facilities scattered across the planet.
Wathyion[Orbits Kruger 60] Supermasive Gas Giant with a base located somewhere shrouded within, the main base for the military, heavily guarded, thought impenetrable.
Kriegner[Orbits Luyten 726-8] Home of the Jikoapx, Lifeless on the planet exterior, Caves is where everthing lives, giant mushroom like plants that they farm for are the main source of food, Iluminated by glowing crystals, our best scientists still can not understand why the crystals glow, Cities are enourmus, Our only map of the caves date back 500 years
Perks:
Earth: Standard, no perk
Huroak: Leather-skinned (Has a natural leather-like material in your skin, protecting you from most rough surfaces but you lose agility)
Yura: Fish-breather(Can hold your breath under-water for up to 2X's longer, Must drink a gallon of water daily)
Fiadath: Fire-man(Can withstand heats up to 200 degrees, but is extremely sensitve to coldness)
Yingtuth:Forest dweller(Faster reflexes and can easily navigate obstacles, but is slightly more exposed when hit, out of shock)
Classes:
Hakers: Masters of the computer world, can nearly control any computer data, given the right circumstances
Pilots:Ace pilots are considered the nail-gun of space, taking down any enemy ship or attacking enemy bases, its always helpfull to have a good pilot at the wheel- err... joystick
Engineers:Without a engineer who will be there to stop the fix broken gun when we need it the most, or repair the damaged wing, or install a turret into our ship?
Gunslingers: Mastering a laser pistol takes time, being a gunslinger takes a lifetime. A gunslinger will be the sledge hammer of the ground units, taking
down Furthyark after furthyark can get pretty tireing, dont you think? Not for a gunslinger, they live for shooting, and it pleases them no more than to see they're opponent fall.
(please help me add more classes, send them to me in PM)
