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.

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.

    With the wisdom of Seshat, the speed of Hermes, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Rudra and the strengh of Kali.

    ...That took to investigate more that it should just for a joke. :V

    On one hand, shackled to will of some god; on the other, huge selection of edibles from earth myths and fantasy genre. Hard to decide really.

    Vote Closed!

    I will be making the next vote when I get home.

    I'll also assign our trait given by I will say this.

    Mythical also makes us immune to mermaid and Atlantis mind powers.
     
    Wrath of the Ocean Gods

    Trait Gained: 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.

    You are not the creation of simply one God, nor even pantheon. Mortal kind across the realm and within the seas themselves have spited the Gods, and thus, you were created.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is the final character gen vote, depending on the choice between these two shall gain a random ally, as well as a constant recurring enemy.

    Which God was the primary factor behind your creation?

    [] Poseidon - Zeus informed his brother that the people of Atlantis and their mermaid friends have turned against him and the other Gods of the sea, and thus Poseidon made council with the other deities, and thusly, you were created.

    [] Calypso - (Taking some liberties and going a bit more Pirates of the Caribbean with her.) Being scorned by Odysseus due to the beckoning of Zeus, Calypso made it her mission to render the seas as unsafe as possible for all of mortal kind so that no man nor woman would ever find her in such a way again. This lead to her reaching out to other sea Gods, and creating you as well as other threats.

    Edit: Somehow it slipped my mind that both Calypso and Poseidon are Greek. There will be things from other pantheons, as well as mythological and fantasy tales. There will be Elves and Dwarves and such.

    You may debate and take guesses as to who grants whom, I shall not be telling you until it comes up in the quest. Regardless of the results of this vote, I shall be working on the first proper update over the next several days.


    The Shark's starting goal shall be the dismantling of Atlantis.

    Angry sea lady yes.

    Fuck Atlantis. I like Calypso and Odysseus's story and all the shit that went with it... but I really want to fuck up some egotistical mermaids.

    The shark shall be starting her rampage with Atlantis no matter the case. This vote is simply for which God was primarily behind her creation.

    Albeit, I do find it rather funny that Zeus may have basically told Poseidon that some mermaids were talking shit, and so Poseidon went and got every sea God from every pantheon together to go fuck up Atlantis.

    It's also funny how that's basically Poseidon in canon. 'What, someone insulted me? I'll sink their whole continent, that'll show them!'
    If that's the case, I'm 100% sticking with my current vote, though. Also, hi boss.

    Hasta la vista. Baby.

    Atlantis? More like Atlan-taken-out-with-the-trash!
     
    Notice: I will allow write-ins for this, however, I would ask that you PM me with the idea so that you may tell me the hidden ally. The ally is only an ally if they are associated with the God/dess chosen.

    Hmm. Both options sound like fun, but I'd go with

    [X] Poseidon - Zeus informed his brother that the people of Atlantis and their mermaid friends have turned against him and the other Gods of the sea, and thus Poseidon made council with the other deities, and thusly, you were created.

    [X] Biblical- (taking a bit of liberties here, not sure if the time frame is right but here we go!) since time began spirits courtred in the heavens, but now they turned to the world made by a great command and were given lands to rule...nowdays the mortals have risen in evil and the island of Atlantis not only openly mocks the spirits above and below but profaned creation. This cannot be allowed to stand.
