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.

    I must officially say that I do not intend to sway votes on this quest. That would not be any kind of way to run this.

    Updating my vote to approval my second option
    [X] Norse: You are of Loki's design, a beast created to punish and chaos mayhem.

    [X] Arda
    -[X] You were created by He Who Arises in might, the shadow of the north, to bring the oceans under his dominion as his dragons aimed to do on the ground. You've still got some growing to do, but this is he perfect one to show off your strength.
    --[X] Possible Enemies: Edain and other tribes of men from the coastal regions, Sindar of the Falathim under Círdan, Earendil and Vinglote, The Teleri of Valinor, The forces of Ulmo
     
    I think I sense a theme here.

      [X] Greek: You were the product of Zeus imploring his brother Poseidon to create the perfect oceanic predator to punish the fisherman and swimmers of Greece. Enemies would be Greek to Spartan champions, as well as other possible predators of the sea.

    but we need to eat our veggies if we want to grow big and strong!


    So you need to add Nymphs, Dryads, Ents/Treants,...

    [ ] Write-in (Biblical): This is a world of heathen idols and false gods. Spirits that do not know their place, demons that dare to stand in their own mockeries of the true Celestial Realm, that refuse to accept the Truth of the glory of God! But God is Great, and God is Merciful. Thus, He grants them you. Beast, Leviathan, arbiter of pagan heresies, you will Cleanse the world of its divine filth, drag the things that infest the sullied world into their rightful places in Hell, and show the blinded, foolish mortals the Truth of God's Judgement.

    So, basically it's a mythological kitchen sink, with each civilization having their own Mythologies and divine spirits guarding over them. Gods and the like have a limited purview, spatial-temporally speaking, limited by the worship and acknowledgement of mortals. Then comes... something else. The Thing that is known as The True God has come to Earth from nowhere, and seeks to claim the planet under its rightful rule. How rightful is that rule? I don't know, how rightful was the rule of the Romans, or the British Empire? It's basically divine colonization, though the exact nature of "God" is ambiguous. We, the players, would essentially be a beast that is set loose on the world by "God", whose purpose is to rip and tear and devour the spirits and "false gods" inhabiting the planet, breaking their ritual mythologies and setting the stage for God to rewrite history as the one and only true god of the world, now and always. Exact placement in time is iffy, could be anywhere you want, or even be atemporal in nature, going throughout history, hunting and killing gods as their empires fall in the mortal realms. Up to QM rulings, basically.

    @OfSpaceandTime is this fine for a write in?

    If the QM likes it, I'm voting for it!
     
    You all just keep coming up with these wonderfully beautiful write-ins. You may wind up getting a bonus before the quest even starts at this rate simply due to how inspired these have all been.

    Of course we'll end up eating the one true God, in the end, Asura's wrath style.

    Ok, Asura didn't actually EAT Chakravartin, but you know what I mean!

    Earth mythos does have a more familiar tang to it. :V
