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.

    Mythical setting could result in a more fantastical setting. Which doesn't just mean Greek Gods, it could be an entirely different planet that's much more fantasy. Though, to be fair, I'm not going to go into the detail of how a dwarf tastes as opposed to an elf.

    Dwarves taste like a combination of dirt and alcohol, while elves are a blend of grass and really sour morning dew.

    Or, uh, at least so I've heard.

      [X] Nature's Wrath: You are a literal Force of Nature. You exist because the balance has shifted, and you are the equalizer. The oceans have been polluted, and filled with two-legged invaders onboard of boats which harm the denizens of the sea. You are the sea's revenge. Starting Infamy: Zero. Infamy Gain Rate: Normal.
      [X] The Folly of Man: You are an experiment, escaped into the wild. Mankind created you, and you will be their undoing. Starting Infamy: Hunted. Infamy Gain Rate: Reduced.
      [X] Freak of Nature: You were born with gigantism, explaining your massive size. This also caused your brain to be larger, thus smarter. And being so large, you require more to fuel you massive body. Starting Infamy: Zero. Infamy Gain Rate: Slightly Higher.
      [X] Nature's Wrath
      -[X] You have consumed the waste of humanity and grown off of the hubris of the hairless bipeds. As you ingested a uranium deposit, however, you started to grow-- not tumors, but things like muscle and bones! Soon, you will show humanity why they should mind where they put their trash.
      [X] Product of Puns: You are a fin-ple shark, before your mind was swarmed with schools of information. The languages of the bipedal invaders became as clear as sea water to you. Suddenly, you bubbled up as a threat to the surface world. You can also talk perfect American Engfish for some reason, despite not having the vocal structure for that feat. Not that you have feet. You will use this Newfoundland intrilligence to learn why you became so, and show those "humans" what a shark canned do! Also, you like puns. And are unable to stop making them whenflipper you get the chance.

    I feel like enemies should have a yumminess rating, for our shark tummy!

    • You are the Gods' perfect revenge upon mortal-kind.

    Trait Gained: 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.

    Trait Gained: 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.

    However, we must further disclose exactly which Gods, or create our own with our much more personalized setting.

    [ ] Fantastical Setting: This is not the Earth, this setting will utilize fantasy creatures and mortals, as well as humans. The Gods can be of any pantheon.

    [ ] 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.

    [ ] Norse: You are of Loki's design, a beast created to punish and chaos mayhem.

    [ ] Write-in: I cannot seem to think of any other pantheons that would make sense. If you have one in mind, feel free.

    And yes, for Fantastical we can either create our own pantheon or simply use one that's already established.

    Wanna bite Zeus in the everywhere. That'll show him.

    I do want the menu to be wide ranging. ;)

    -[] 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.
    --[] 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


    Would this be a valid write in?

    Why settle on Mediterranean or Nordic cuisine when we can partake in an exotic all-you-can-eat buffet?

    I will allow it. Is this original or from something?

    After careful consideration, I have decided that I was drunk/high when I read the description for the setting choices and now will choose

    [X] Fantastical Setting

    Because why have one when you can have many?

    You have gained trait: Greedy.
     
    [X] Fantastical Setting: This is not the Earth, this setting will utilize fantasy creatures and mortals, as well as humans. The Gods can be of any pantheon.

    I'm thinking a medieval pantheon, some goddess of the sea or nature.
     
    [X] Norse: You are of Loki's design, a beast created to punish and chaos mayhem.

    We see a lot of Greek a lot of generic fantasy.
    ...but what if Loki fucked a shark this time?
     
    [X] Norse: You are of Loki's design, a beast created to punish and chaos mayhem.

    CHAOS MAYHEM!!!

    [X] Arda

    This one would be cool too. But it would necessitate that the QM goes on a major wiki binge on all things Silmarillion.

    @QTesseract this is not a bribe.
    I did stumble upon this quest by looking at your latest activity though.

    Oh come on. This could have been a perfect pun.

    They're both so good.
    I'd vote the celtic one, but I'm not as much up on the celtic myths as I'd like.

    I'm not either, but if I was able to vote other than a tie breaker I'd either be swinging that one or the fantastical one.

    What? QM's are allowed to have options we want to win. Sometimes we just can't get it though xP
