TOTAL REVAMPING

Almost every single thread in this forum contains outdated and unusable data, information, and ideas. Therefore, I am scrapping them, and starting fresh in this thread. Can the moderators go through all the other threads in this forum and mark everything with the following label:

OLD

Please? This will make everything easier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical Damage Formula (approved)

[A(B)4+C]-[D(E)3]+/-A](F)
H

A = Attacking character's Lvl
B = Attacking character's STR
C = Additional damage (if using a skill)
D = Defending character's Lvl
E = Defending character's DEF
F = If the attack is a critical hit, F = 2 (If not, F = 1)
H = If the attack is weak (for some reason), H = 2 (If not, H = 1)


Magical Damage Formula

[A x (1~1.5) x B] - (C x D)

A = User's Level
B = Power of spell
C = Defender's Level
D = Defender's DEF


Evasiveness Formula (preliminary)

If attacking character's SPD is higher than defending character's SPD = 100% chance of hitting

If attacking character's SPD is equal to defending character's SPD = 100% chance of hitting

If attacking character's SPD is lower than defending character's SPD, the following formula is used:

(A/B)100 = X

X = percentage of hitting


Critical Hit Formula (preliminary)

[A+(2B)+(3C)+(5D)] = F

A = High critical hit ratio of attack (certain attacks critical hit more often)
If applicable, A = 1
If not, A = 0

B = Item bonus (certain items grant an extra chance of critical hit)
If applicable, B = 1
If not, B = 0

C = Inherent value (some characters have extra chance of critical hits)
If applicable, C = 1
If not, C = 0

D = Focused (A certain skill will heighten critical hit ratio)
If applicable, D = 1
If not, D = 0

If F = 0, critical hit ratio is 1%
If F = 1, critical hit ratio is 5%
If F = 2, critical hit ratio is 5%
If F = 3, critical hit ratio is 7%
If F = 4, critical hit ratio is 7%
If F = 5, critical hit ratio is 10%
If F = 6, critical hit ratio is 10%
If F = 7, critical hit ratio is 15%
If F = 8, critical hit ratio is 17%
If F = 10, critical hit ratio is 20%
If F = 11, critical hit ratio is 40%

This may or may not be used. This concept is highly complex.

Flee Formula

Coming soon!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stats:

STR/ATK = Determines (physical) damage
DEF = Determines how much damage is absorbed from an attack (some attacks ignore this value)
SPR = Value required to use skills. Using any skill depletes SPR
SPD = Determines evasiveness and turn order

APPROVED ENEMIES:

-BASIC ARC SHADES-
Ink Blot

A Large primitive shade that still roams the world. Although the shades were eliminated from the human world, these still seem to stick around. Their attack power is usually low and can easily be dispatched, however, if they swarm you, they can easily overwhelm even the best of fighters. They are birthed from the hundreds of thousands of InkPots still buried and wandering the globe.

Ink Pot

A very large Shade mother in a sense, it births baby shades and InkBlots. It still feels as though it can take over the human world, so it reproduced indefinately. these are very hardy enemies and can move fairly quckly for their massive side. Their skull is also very hard and it will use it to crush the opponent.

STATUS EFFECTS

These effects cannot stack, but can accumulate.

- Attack: All damage output is reduced by 50%

- Defense: DEF is lowered by 25% total DEF

- Speed: SPD is decreased by 50% total SPD

+ Attack: Damage output is increased by 20%

The Story:

Millennia ago, there was "Templaria." A mysterious and powerful book destined to bring wrought and ruin upon the world. For generations, the evil book Templaria sent forth its beasts and monsters, the Shades, to cleanse the world of life, and claim it as its own. The Elders, great, wise effigies, eventually found the sinister book, and, after a long, grueling battle, managed to seal away the dark book's power and hide it in their mystical archives, to never be found by a human. Or so they thought...

Millions of years later, an ancient tomb, labeled the "Library," was discovered by mankind. All hell breaks loose. Templaria's power, now reawakened, unleashed great destruction upon the new world. The portal to Dusk, the fabled world of the Shades, Temparia's minions, had been ripped open, dark figures inundating the world. But as quickly as it happened, the portal closes itself. The Shades, due to their nature, quickly crush all resistance and the world's governments and military are obliterated with ease. However, the appearance of the Shades has awakened a power in humans previously untapped: magic. Using this new-found power, several heroes of mankind destroy the Shades and banish them back to the void of Dusk. These heroes, now dubbed the Union, proceeded to conquer the new world. Several years later, this magical power is still active in humans, and there are words of the ancient portal being re-opened once again...

Thankfully, with the human potential for magic unlocked, many minor sicknesses were annihilated, science took unbelievable leaps forward in physics and biology. Soon, there was a way to even classify who could use magic and who could not. It was discovered that there were several affinities that gave people the power to fight the Shades.

Flare, Frost, Proton, Shadow, Magnecite, Gaia, and Axiom.

These affinities were assigned to people at random when their powers awakened and scientists discovered that each affinity allowed said person to bring forth the element that their affinities were related to.

Flare was dominion over Fire
Frost was the mastery of Ice
Proton the command of Purification
Shadow the ruler of the Poisoned
Gaia the balance with the Earth
Magnecite the director of Electricity
and
Axiom defined the Absolute Potential

However, each passion generation lead to stronger and stronger wielders of this magic and so it became a law that all parents enroll their 16 year old child to a Hayley institute, or in layman's terms, reform school for the demigod children.

Proton is actually more along the lies of purifying.

So it can have offensive skills, but they aren't useful. (Drain-esque skills)
