Triad (Game Topic)
Welcome, Undead Xbox, to Triad... The Sigmatic Scholar's hot new forum game that he totally put off starting for way too long.
This adventure takes place in the Sigmatic Plane, the mythic realm vaguely mentioned in MSPC as the homeland of Professor Vanguard and Colonel Genesis. Here, the essence of reality can be harnessed and manipulated, and the power to do so is mundane.
SHIT BRO SIGN ME UP
Hold on one goddamn second you guys. There's some shit you gotta know first. I gotta make sure that I do all this right.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE
Do you remember Rapture? The Sigmatic Epilogue? Yeah me neither. This is essentially my first forum game. The updates will probably come a bit slower than you're used to with the legendary Eaglendia. As the school year goes on, Triad may slow down to Endemic pace, but I will pick it back up as soon as I can if that should happen. We're in the big leagues now.
OKAY, SO DO WE NEED TO KNOW ANY OF THIS SHIT ABOUT THE SIGMA OR WHATEVER?
You don't need to, but it certainly helps to have a basic understanding. I won't be delving deeply into Sigmatic Theory (but I can if you really, really want me to, I guess), but I will casually reference some aspects of it throughout the game.
SO WHEN CAN I CREATE A CHARACTER? LET'S GET THIS GOING.
Slow down brah. See, like any good forum game, Triad features a cast of 10 colorful douche bags. However, for various reasons that I will outline a bit further down, I've already written short descriptions for each color, but these are just guidelines. The player will be expected to build a character upon the framework of the color. This business is going to be a bit more story driven, so have fun with character creation.
A'IGHT. THAT'S COOL I GUESS. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
Well, to sign up all you have to do is make a post saying the following:
1.) First and second choice of color
2.) The name of your character (first and last)
3.) A short answer to the question "How do you prefer to play this style of game?" (Note, there is no right answer. If you like hunting for items, then that's what you like)
4.) Pick a number between 1 and 20
DO I REALLY HAVE TO DO THIS SHIT?
Yes. Yes you do. There is only one person who I'm even considering saying has an assured spot. You may have to fight for your spot, especially if you pick a popular color. As such, I'd recommend that, if two people are already fighting for your first choice color, you choose a different one.
CAN I CHOOSE MY STICK DUDE'S CLASS? I WANNA BE A HALF-WOLF QUARTER-HUMAN QUARTER-DEMONLORD BERZERKER MAGE WITH A SPIRIT SWORD THAT-
Get out.
While there are classes (Seer, Mage, Brute) and affiliations for each class (Void, Flux, Force, Meta), those apply only to how the character uses their Sigmatic powers (more on that a bit later). I already rolled random stats to determine class, affiliation, and ability with Sigmatic Techniques (using random.org if you're curious). Because some classes may be more popular and there should be balance, I just went ahead and pre-balanced it this way. The descriptions are formed by considering the stats I rolled as well as the color.
Aside from that, you may develop your character in any way you see fit.
Let's do this.

Re: Triad (Game Topic)
A group of colorful douchebags finds themselves in some fairly generic looking streets of the Sigmatic Capitol, Sig Cordon. The head of the empire that lies in the western-most reaches of the mainland. As the humble and every-so-often less-than-perfect narrator, I admit that I cannot possibly be all these people, nor assign them all names. I can, however, briefly outline the style of Sigmatic power employed by each of them.
Now, before I go any further with something as menial as plot development... Who's gonna be who?
Some might say that your method of Sigmatic manipulation is a bit crass, but the way you see it, you get some serious shit done. If you get attacked on the street (not that you really have to worry about such a thing in the Capitol), why bother with a light show when you can just push the fuckers away with brute force?
You never really had any real Sigmatic power to speak of, so you always tried to make up for it by training yourself physically. However, due to your very slight affinity to the Void, and your brutish nature (a dangerous combination) you've been known to have a few... accidents.
Like ORANGE, you never had any notable Sigmatic power. Maybe a glowy moment now and again, but no control. You were always okay with this, feeling that if it really came down to it, you're quick and agile enough to get out of any bind. You're that kind of guy, always smiling regardless.
You're damn fine at what you do. And what you do best is be a Flux Mage. You're one with the flux; you ARE the flux, by Cor, no matter how many times any of the others might call you "pretentious." Really, you think, they're probably a bit jealous. Such is life for the Sigmatic adept.
You're a somewhat rare one. A Void Mage. Frankly, it's a bit strange to you. There are the few that are afraid of Void power, and it's a bit scary to you too. Typically you only use your Void techniques for a bit of sleight of hand, some street magic here and there to get some extra fundage. You know how it is.
You don't have all that much Sigmatic power, but at least you have a bit more than YELLOW and ORANGE. Still, you don't have something else you're great at to make up for your lack of Sigmatic skill. You've always been a bit insecure about that. But even so, your weak (somewhat rare) Meta powers are a crowd pleaser when you're having a good day.
You're a pretty average guy. An average Force Mage and pretty happy as a person. But what makes you special is your slight tendency as a Seer which manifests as heightened perceptiveness. You're pretty good at dodging any danger that you encounter. You flow like water and all that. No big deal.
Okay, maybe Void Mages aren't THAT RARE. Well regardless, you're kinda fucking scary. Unnatural affinity and skill with the Void, and that can't be emphasized enough. Since Void powers have to possibility to be the most reality-fucking, people are naturally a bit afraid of you when you tell them what you're good at. You tend not to tell people...
You're pretty pleased with your more-than-decent Force powers. As a Mage, you've actually learned to fine tune them to the point that you can play some easy-going pranks on your bros: invisible walls and the like. You've even learned to briefly overcome the force of gravity and float around for a bit. All in all, everything is goin' pretty well for you.
You've never really been into the whole Sigmatic power scene like your friends have. Just as well, all you've got going in that regard are a few Seer moments: heightened intuition of the Flux. This does, however, really come in handy when it comes to your real passion of Sigmatic tech. It really amazes you how the essence of the universe is harnessed to the point that it's mundane.

1.) First Choice: Orange Second Choice: Maroon
2.) Nolan Vario
3.) I generally enjoy exploration, both of physical locations and of game mechanics (combat systems, crafting systems, etc.) Exposition about life in the Sigmatic Plane would be great as well, and experiencing it from the perspective of someone unable to use the world's power to it's full potential would be very interesting.

Re: Triad (Game Topic)
1.) First Choice: Purple
Second Choice: Blue
2.) Allistor Brent
3.) My preferred playstyle would be making this game.
Actually I'm not really sure how I play because I haven't played too much of these games. Sometimes I get obsessed with revenge when I feel I've been wronged in such a context--and otherwise, if the world interests me enough, then I'll likely feel driven to explore, crack a few jokes, and develop my character as I interact with others. It'll be a blast, I'm sure.

3.)If I am allowed to play I would be the guy who would sit back and assist other players when they are in need of my help, I usually am not the one to charge in and get myself killed straight away though, I also would like to learn more about the sigma and the concept of it as well. It sounds like a good time to be had and I could definitely adapt my style of play to my color/class as well, also I would like to witness shit go down and respond to it.

Re: Triad (Game Topic)

- Hey guys, sorry for taking so long with posting the results. Some stuff came up yesterday and today. Also choosing was a bit harder than I thought. But it surprisingly worked out pretty well with the exception of one MrKurt2012 who didn't get either of his color choices despite getting in. Thank you so much to everyone who signed up. I'm sorry I had to cut, like, half of you guys. Anyway, I'm back working on Triad.
Actual content update should come later tonight?
Ah, it looks like there are enough players to be all these people.
In spectral order they are...
DeadApe with Red.
MrKurt2012 with Orange.
Tophat 44 with Yellow.
Dexta117 with Chartreuse.
Super Mega King with Green.
Namorg with Teal.
Gbps with Blue.
Kugeth8 with Indigo.
Eaglendia with Purple.
And Leniette with Maroon.

This is so much better then that other forum game.
I do find it weird that you picked like 5 people who are already in a forum game though.
