Leveling System

The beginning tier for all members. Everyone is just starting out and has little to no combat experience. There is much room for improving skills and enhancing physical abilities. It is clear that none in this tier have power capable of giving them high recognition, but that can easily change if one works hard enough. Upon reaching Level 10, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost. There is no munny fee due to this being the starting tier.

The second tier in which we begin to see blossoming skill. This is typically where the average-leveled fighters are, but there is still nothing too impressive. For someone of this tier, exploring parts of their own realm is something that can be done. Going to the outside worlds would be too dangerous, however. Upon reaching Level 20, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost.

How to reach Tier II:

The fifth and middle tier marking the halfway point those keeping track of their leveling growth. Within this tier are those who have become quite experienced during their journeys. And these bits of wisdom are reflecting in their abilities as warriors of light, darkness, or whatever they affiliate with. Upon reaching Level 50, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost. After having capped at Level 40 of Tier IV, it is required that you pay a 4500 munny fee to move onto the next Tier and Level.

How to reach Tier V:

The sixth tier where characters are picking up with distancing themselves from others. No one is elite, yet, but they are getting closer and closer to that point. Their powers are to be acknowledged, for some may possess enough to pack a reasonable punch. Upon reaching Level 60, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost.

How to reach Tier VI:

By the time characters are reaching the seventh tier, they have become considerably more powerful than their past selves. Those who possess great expertise, one could say. Those of this Tier may try their hand at missions with higher difficulties, possibly returning with some trouble. Or, they might become interested in more significant ideals. Upon reaching Level 70, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost.

How to reach Tier VII:

The eighth tier reflecting just how much dedication individuals put into honing their skills. Reaching this rank shows how long the journey really was, as fewer weaknesses are present than before. The hearts of these warriors must certainly be burning with some sort of passion. Upon reaching Level 80, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost.

How to reach Tier VIII:

The ninth tier, one of the uppermost tiers one can achieve through intense training. Being in possession of this masterful power would make someone a force to be reckoned with. These people are not those who should be taken so lightly, for they are capable of turning the tables for their favor. Upon reaching Level 90, a single skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost.

How to reach Tier IX:

The tenth and final tier fit for those who truly understand their own hearts, as well as the roles they are destined for. After a long and perilous journey across the worlds and realms, it could be said that these individuals have actually become legends. Unmatched, except by those of equal power. It's very possible that no foe goes unchallenged. Upon reaching Level 100, a final skill is gifted as a reward for the hard work made, no munny cost.

How to reach Tier X:

Accompanying the levels you train through are five stats that are used to gauge your physical abilities in combat. These stats, as seen above with the Leveling System, are raised by a specific amount for the purpose of raising the points you have in each stat. The stats that you are capable of training up include: Strength, Defense, Speed, Perception, and Reaction Time. 

• Strength: The physical property of a character that displays the capabilities of their muscles. This stat determines how much one can carry, and how strong their physical attacks are in combat. The higher the number, the more damage that can be dealt.
  
• Defense: The physical property of a character that displays how much exertion their bodies can withstand. This stat determines how long they can last in combat and how much damage they can take. The higher the number, the longer they can go. 
  
• Speed: The physical property of a character that displays how fast their bodily movements are. This stat determines how quick one can travel without the aid of spells or support abilities. So, if someone has speed that is of a higher number than their opponent's, they may be able to outmaneuver them fairly well.
  
• Perception: The physical property of a character that displays how keen one's senses are. This stat is used to determine how aware someone is concerning their surroundings, as well as seeing through enemy points and pinpointing attacks.
  
• Reaction Time: This is the physical property of a character that is used to determine the speed at which one can react to incoming attacks. Having good speed and perception would support this stat greatly in dodging, or performing countermeasures. Overall, this stats is displaying the reflexes of someone who is looking to get ahead in a fight.
  

As you level up, you are accumulating points that can be moved to each stat to raise them. As a result, your physical abilities are enhanced and you are permanently strengthening the body of your character. How you choose to distribute these points is all up to you. You could focus your efforts on one or two specific stats, leaving the others as they are, to gain an advantage in some kind of way. For example, after having gained 50 points, I choose to put all of those into my speed. I'd be given an advantage over some others, but they might be able to outdo me in other areas. Starting you off, your current stats have five points in them to serve as a base. 

Strength: 5
Defense: 5
Speed: 5
Perception: 5
Reaction Time: 5

As stated before, you can train these however you want and find different ways to put yourself at an advantage over others. NPC characters have stats, too. So, not all of them are going to be a breeze. It all depends on where you are and what kind of enemy you are facing. After you have created your character and have gotten it approved by a staff member, you may post your stats in a journal entry where the rest of your character's information can be stored after it has all been updated. 

To get the training of your stats checked and approved, you must make a post here. Posting there and having a mod's review and approval will allow you to update what has been put in the entry. It's always good to pay attention to those you may be RPing with. Why that may be is because they may have significant roles in your journey. They might be an enemy, a rival, or a party member. 

Hit Points, or HP, is what we use to determine how much life we have left to continue on in combat. All enemies and characters have HP, which helps with figuring out how soon a battle will come to a close. It should be fairly easy for you to determine how many Hit Points you lose when struck by an attack, physical or magical. There are a couple different ways to calculate this, but it's a very simple concept. When your health is completely depleted, you are simply knocked out. However, if the winner of the fight chooses to do so, it is possible that it is game over for your character. Please note that when you enter another thread, and your HP has been lowered before, it automatically restores itself. To regenerate health while in combat, however, you can use potions on yourself to restore some. Then, you'll be able to keep going.

• Physical: When you are hit by a physical attack, whether it be a punch, kick, or from a weapon, you lose a set amount of HP. Calculating the damage done is dependent on the strength of the one who did the hitting and the target's defense. You subtract these two numbers, and that final number you get is the amount of points you have lost. Let's put this into an example. I am fighting a Heartless that whose strength is at 25, and my defense is at 20. We fight for a bit and it happens to strike me with its claws. I'm not down, but it has done some damage to my health. By subtracting 25 and 20, I am able to conclude that I have lost 5 Hit Points. It is as simple as that.
  
• Magical: When you are hit by a spell of some kind, and it hits you directly, you lose a set amount of HP. It is similar to how the physical attacks work, but not totally. This is not dependent on strength and defense. Each and every spell has a specific damage number, so you merely subtract that from the amount of HP you have. Here is an example for a situation concerning spell damage. I am fighting against another member in a battle and they use the spell "Fire" on me. Unfortunately, I'm not able to dodge and it hits me head on. This spell does 5 points of damage to me (my HP is at 50). So, I do some subtraction and reach the conclusion that I now have 45 HP left. Take note that not all spells are like that due to there being different levels.
  

You may be wondering about how many Hit Points you start out with. For everyone who is starting out, you start with 50 HP and go on from there. Leveling up allows for this to increase some. The points given to your HP, however, cannot be moved over to increase your other stats. So, when you gain here, it can only be for that. It is not possible to take, let's say, 10 points and give it to speed or strength. Look up at the tables above to know how many Hit Points you gain after a level up.




Magic Points, or MP, is a stat that is used for spells and abilities. For everyone, the starting amount of MP is 100 and increases by a certain number with every level up. It's just like the other stats and HP. If you have lost all of your MP while in combat, it simply means that you are unable to use any spells and/or abilities for a certain amount of time. Should this happen, you must wait a maximum of 8 posts for it to completely regenerate. During that wait, you can only resort to your physical abilities and try to hold your own before being able to utilize techniques that cost MP. Just as you can with your HP, it is possible to restore MP. By the use of an ether, you can restore some of your MP before it falls to 0, or you can reduce the amount of turns you have to wait. 

Here is a complete look at your starting stats, with HP and MP included this time. Be sure that you copy and paste this where it needs to go to make it easier on yourself.
