White Shark: An Original Shark Quest

Reader mode
Character Sheet
  • Informational

    • Infamy: Feared. Once the people of Atlantis realize what you are and why you are created, they will fear you. Most of them, anyways.

    Gain Rate: Due to your nature as a mythical creation of the Gods' themselves, your infamy will rise at the utmost of rates.

    Stats: The stats shall be added to the character sheet once I have the chance. Hunger is how hungry the shark is. The more she has eaten, the better she will be able to perform. HP is generally how much damage the shark is capable of taking. Strength, Intelligence, and Willpower are the only stats that we shall be keeping track of and one of them is capable of modifying every single roll that this quest shall entail.

    Hunger: 500/????

    HP: 1,500/?????

    Strength: Strength based rolls will have a +10 modifier to them in your favor. This stat can and will fluctuate depending upon your hunger, health, and the progress made through the quest. Current minimum modifier is +5. Current maximum modifier is unknown.

    Intelligence: Intelligence based rolls shall have a +20 modifier to them in your favor. This stat is currently static, though it is liable to change when unlocking new traits during the duration of the quest.

    Willpower: Willpower based rolls will have a +5 modifier to them in your favor. This modifier can only be increased as the quest progresses, even throughout reincarnations of the shark.



    Traits:
    • Mythical Beast - You are a product of the Gods of this world. And therefore, you are their favored champion of the seas. Adds a bonus to all rolls when attacking anything that is not natural to the sea, depending on what it is you are after.
    • Albinism - Due to your mythical nature, you have been uplifted as different than other great white sharks. You are the only albino shark. This also makes sneaking up on surface dwelling prey more difficult as you do not bear the natural camouflage that other great whites have. Bears a negative to all stealth rolls.
    • Fury Re-InCarnate: As a creation of the Gods of the seas, your spirit is everlasting, and your soul, restless. Regardless of if your mortal form dies, you will be back. Quest Loss Condition Omitted: Death.
    • Temporary Trait : Hungry - You've fed in the past days, but with your now advanced size and intelligence, you need more sustenance than usual.

    Theme: Could it have been anything else?

    Known NPC's:

    The Goddess behind your creation and uplifting. She has appeared before you and given you your task to dismantle Atlantis. She acts motherly towards you.

    • [X] Freak of Nature: You were born with gigantism, explaining your massive size. This also caused your brain to be larger, thus smarter. And being so large, you require more to fuel you massive body. Starting Infamy: Zero. Infamy Gain Rate: Slightly Higher.

    Oh boy, a quest about sharks! My favorite creatures. Hopefully this goes well.

    [X] Mythical: The Gods themselves created you as punishment for mankind's folly. You are their perfect creation. Bonus: This one will not take place in modern times. Starting Infamy: Feared. Infamy Gain Rate: Extreme.
     
    Great whites actually tend to leave those ones alone for the most part. Symbiotic relationship and all that.
     
    Heh. This sounds like the games Depth or Maneater in quest form. Watched!

    That, said I'm voting for:

    [X] Mythical: The Gods themselves created you as punishment for mankind's folly. You are their perfect creation. Bonus: This one will not take place in modern times. Starting Infamy: Feared. Infamy Gain Rate: Extreme.

    Om nom nom!

    Edit: The fish that follow sharks are Pilot Fish and larger sharks might also have a few Remora hanging around.

    [X] Nature's Wrath: You are a literal Force of Nature. You exist because the balance has shifted, and you are the equalizer. The oceans have been polluted, and filled with two-legged invaders onboard of boats which harm the denizens of the sea. You are the sea's revenge. Starting Infamy: Zero. Infamy Gain Rate: Normal.

      [X] Nature's Wrath
      -[X] You have consumed the waste of humanity and grown off of the hubris of the hairless bipeds. As you ingested a uranium deposit, however, you started to grow-- not tumors, but things like muscle and bones! Soon, you will show humanity why they should mind where they put their trash.
      [X] The Folly of Man: You are an experiment, escaped into the wild. Mankind created you, and you will be their undoing. Starting Infamy: Hunted. Infamy Gain Rate: Reduced.

    Yeah, when I heard about Maneater, it made me think of JAWS: Unleashed, and so this quest became a thing because I grew up loving JAWS. It's probably my favorite movie.

    Sadly, there isn't too much story wise one can do from the perspective of a shark so this quest isn't exactly super story driven, more of depending on the current events.

    Muwhahahaha! Eating people because they spilled plastic and other stuff are perfectly justified.

    [X] Product of Puns: You are a fin-ple shark, before your mind was swarmed with schools of information. The languages of the bipedal invaders became as clear as sea water to you. Suddenly, you bubbled up as a threat to the surface world. You can also talk perfect American Engfish for some reason, despite not having the vocal structure for that feat. Not that you have feet. You will use this Newfoundland intrilligence to learn why you became so, and show those "humans" what a shark canned do! Also, you like puns. And are unable to stop making them whenflipper you get the chance.
