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.

    • [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.

    I hope you know that you didn't put an x in the brackets, the vote tally won't count it towards that vote.
     
    [X] 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.

    [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.

    Slight lead with Poseidon.

    Also 2 voters are late to the party.

    It appears that we have ourselves a tie.

    More ties!
     
    We're gonna have to do something about this. Worst case scenario I'll flip a coin between the two.

    completely off topic, but.. i just saw a user with a shark flying over a rainbow as an avatar in the Victoria Falls quest, and i'm kinda tempted to write him a pm to have him come here.

    I mean, How can he not be here in shark quest?!
     
    NOTICE: Read the Following.
  • Informational
    • 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.

    Yaaaay. Villain protagonist but not genocide.
    That is exactly what I was hoping for. So this is basically perfect and wonderful.
