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.

    That would be a safe assumption, yes

    Probably. From the opening there's the absolute unit which we've acquired, nature boi shark Ric Flail (WOOOO), and galaxy brain revengeance shark (JACK'S BACK).

    I expect more powerful enemies that are sharks. Like a shark that is constantly on fire.

    I'm probably not going to have a fire/lava shark.

    I wonder if we would meet other "notables" of the deep like other great sharks, or other sea creatures and monsters. Some of them might even be in service of Atlantis!

    One would assume that mythical status' immunity to Atlantean mind control should be universal.

    Not really a point to keeping this open because we all know which option won. I'll be taking more time with this update so I can feel a little more confident with the quality of it. Might be a few days before it's up as I also have some other quests in the works.

    And I'd like to get a map up.

    • It's been fun. It has. But there are other projects elsewhere that call my name and that I intend to publish in some form of media. While I enjoy working on stories for this site and just the interactivity that it presents, this is not how I get done the work I feel I was truly born to do.

    This quest was nice while it lasted. It was different and unique from literally everything else on the site in it's own unique little way. But I knew it wouldn't last. I think a fair amount of you did.

    My skills for writing this aren't adequate. This isn't the story I really wanna tell. I want to build my own original world with vast interesting characters with defining moments as they work their way through their own world(s) and survive, or don't. And I wish to get it out as far as possible. Nothing against Sufficient Velocity, but this just isn't the medium in which to do so.

    This had been going through my mind for awhile now. I intend to stay around on the site and read quests and vote on some of them, but I myself will not be writing or making a quest entirely by myself for.... Possibly a long time.

    I know this isn't what you came for. But it be like that sometimes. And I'd rather gracefully bow out to you instead of simply walking away without some form of explanation. You deserve that much at least.

    • Sad to hear that you are leaving, but happy to hear that you have thought this through! That said, where are you planning on going? I mean, just because you are leaving this site doesn't change the fact that I want to read your stuff! ... Please?
