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?

There is something I would like to bring up and nip it in the bud. This shark is a villain protagonist. Meaning that she is not the good guy in comparison to the humans/elves/mermaids/mortals in general.
But that isn't to say that the mortals are all good either. Nor are the Gods. This is probably one of the more morally grey quests on the site, simply due to what we've created the shark to be. The revenge of the Sea Gods upon ocean dwelling mortals.
And dwelling upon the sea Gods, this quest isn't meant to portray any religion or particular belief. It is simply The Folly of Mortalkind Vs. The Shark.
One other point: This shark is not going to be genocidal. She will not kill every living being in Atlantis. I simply will not allow that because mythical or not, I highly doubt she'd be capable of doing it. However, she can cause the collapse of Atlantis as a Kingdom. I believe there is a difference as the people can still live, but the Kingdom, which is flawed due to their turning their backs on the Gods, is destroyed. (If I am mistaken in this definition, please enlighten me so that I may avoid genocide from our PC altogether. Not something I am comfortable with a leading character in any of my works doing.)
Any and all attempts to drive the shark towards the route of genocide will be shot the fuck down. Anyone who disobeys this now that I have stated this very clearly, will be fed to the shark(a.k.a. reported to the staff.)
Otherwise, I feel if we can all agree upon this then we can have ourselves a fun filled quest about a shark doing mythical shark things.

Alright, ladies and gentlefish, the last vote of CharGen for our Great White Shark has been closed.
I'm starting work on the prologue to the Quest now, which will involve scenes from Atlantis and the creation of the shark in story.
As another minor heads up, not everything in this quest shall be from the shark's POV so as to add more perspective and story to it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I got ahead of myself out of excitement for this quest.
No, I'm not cancelling it or anything. I love this. All of this.
But, I did a goof. I forgot to make a moratorium for you all to come up with plans for to vote on. And, so.
The vote is being, *ahem*, delayed for a moratorium for you all to analyze the vote plans that have been put forth and create new ones. Once the moratorium is lifted, you may vote on the general plan of attack on how to go after the Kingdom of Atlantis and its cities, such as Seatopia.
I'd also like to apologize for doing this. I was being a little to experimental with this, but hey. We're at nine pages in less than a week. We can continue.
Moratorium: All votes prior to this update are null. However, the vote plans are valid. I'll list them below.
[] Plan Troy Shark
-[]Calypso said other sharks are under the control of Atlantis. Explore the borders of Atlantis and see how they are treated/to which degree they are under control. If they're left relatively free to move (no collars/chains/leash) let yourself be captured/tamed. Fake submissiveness.(Will require an intelligence check to ensure shark 'acts natural' enough.)
--[]Once you've been fed and are in the place in which you can deal the most damage while still being able to escape if overwhelmed go crazy and kill/eat as many as possible. Try to avoid soldiers and aim for civilians, especiallykidsYounger adults/teens. We want max terror.
[]Plan Little Sharks
-[] Start swimming towards Atlantis
-[] Eat anything not shark along the way until you feel full
-[] Make sharks follow you on your trip
-[] Make little sharks
[]Plan Fear
-[] Find isolated trade caravans.
-[] Kill them in as swift a manner as possible.
-[] Allow minimal survivors.
--[] Feed on the way, as well as on victims within the caravans.
[] Plan Ooh Ha Ha
-[] Hunt outskirts of Atlantis for solitary prey.
-[] Try to be less hangry by picking off stragglers. (Starting with older/younger/injured prey, if possible)
-[] Once mostly satiated, eat one only a little bit. (Pretty sure they don't need all those limbs!)
-[] Lie in wait for other prey to attempt aid.
-[] Ambush responders, rip and tear until it is done.
Current Time for me: About 6 P.M. The Moratorium will be for twelve hours. So, 6 A.M. tomorrow morning about when I wake up. You may discuss and present vote ideas to use for the vote.
