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.

    So is there any cover we can hide behind? Like coral or seaweed? Or are we too far from the bottom?
    Or is just disappearing into the murky depths enough to count as stealth? I'm not sure on the vision range of sea creatures underwater.

    You're not close to the ocean floor, no. Not too deep.

    @OfSpaceandTime are we faster than this orca? We're a god-blessed shark, whereas this is a big water cow, so I think we should have the speed advantage.

    You have yet to figure this out, however this big boi is coming at you fast.


    OOC Information on Orcas: Orcas are highly intelligent and can figure things out and talk to each other. They are highly maneuverable under the water and they can be playful. However, they do seem to go out of their way to kill sharks.

    OOC on this Orca    : You're only slightly bigger than him.

    I also was not planning on throwing a low-level boss fight at you and intended to save orcas for later, but Youtube video suggestions got the better of me.

    -[x] Use intellect to gauge the swimming speed of the orca.
    -[x] Pretend to flee from orca, keeping our speed to rate of average shark. Allow the orca to approach closer for our burst.
    -[x] Dive and do a drift turn to bite into orca's belly. Underbelly or side belly are both fine.
    -[x] Then aggressively swim and bite but avoid the surface.
     
    Oh we get to bite things and drift that's crazy.

    Alright I'm in.

    With our MAST-IVE INTELLECT, I expect us to have something like a slowdown time perception ability or Sherlock-ish mind palace, to quickly analyze shrimpnarios :3

    You know I was going to make another vote to try and challenge the orca to a rap battle, but I'm not sure if we speak Whale...

    We could go with beatboxing! THAT would certainly surpass the language barrier :p

    Or break-dance! though i'm not sure how it would work underwater...


    EDIT we might also try a courthship dance. The power of love wins the day!

    Apparently sharks go into immobility when upside down. Ah real life, things are bad when you are a shark but also bad when you are a human. You can't win!

    uh. interesting, if strange.

    Great White Sharks are not so responsive as other species when tonic immobility has been attempted. In an interesting eye witness case off the coast of California, a female orcawas seen holding the shark upside down to induce tonic immobility. It kept the shark still for fifteen minutes, causing it to suffocate to death. This was the first recorded eye witness case of predation on a great white shark in the wild by a species other than humans
