"'Tis but a day like any other... I'll manage" - you think to yourself, standing in line to be given the position you always wanted to be a part of. "Oi! I heard ya were top of class, no? Tell me, is it true? You certainly don't look like it, haha!" - you feel a tap on your shoulder, you turn around. "Don't just look at me ya beautiful swine, tell me ya name already!" "My name..." - you think to yourself. {text input for: 'Name'} > [[Continue ->Friend]] [if Name === 'Tristan'] **Multiple people surround you "Tristan? TRISTAN? Holy shit the artist of the best manga ever, NSA vs. Yhwach! I want an autograph!" After some time you are left alone, you are way too popular here.** [continue] "Ah! So ya're called {Name}! Man I wish my name was this cool... Anyways, ma name's Gerald, nice to meet ya! Heard ya name before, best of class or somethin'?" The man before you looks older than you and certainly has a different accent than you. If you were to describe his looks, he'd be a small, chubby fella with a nice little hat. It seems he wants to become a **Sorcerer** , from the looks of it. "Hey, Gerald!" - you hear a female voice shouting at the top of her lungs from a distance. After a while you see a young woman running towards you. "Man, Gerald, I thought you would keep a place for me in line! I really dont want to wait all the way back there!" - the young woman has long black hair held back with a braid and is clothed in a mixture of leather and silk. She must be aiming to become a **Survivalist** . "Eyey now, ya gotta say hello to my new friend over there Eruca! Not like ya to not say hi to someone!" - Gerald says. "Oh, right! Hi there! I'm Eruca, pleased to meet you! Sorry for the commotion right now... I'm a bit of an impatient kind of person. What's your name?" > [[My Name is {Name} ->The Meetup]] > [[ {Name} ->The Meetup]] > [[You should really wait in line, being late is you own fault ->Unsympathetic Meetup]] > [[Äh... äh...m...mm..my..name? ...heh...he ->Awkward meetup]] [align center] __The Sorcerer__ *** [continue] The Sorcerer is an academic genius, well versed in literature, science and all things university. Unfortunately, a Sorcerer is often times one of the worst people to talk to, as he seems to only have learned to read and listen instead of write and talk. A sorcerer is a strong ally on the battlefield, as he can demolish most foes with a single strike of his magic. But if he is cornered alone, he will undoubtedly be happy feast for whomever found him. > [[Choose Sorcerer]] > [[Rethink->The Meetup]] "So, {Name}, you might have noticed that we two already know why we're here, juding by our appearance, right Gerald?" "Yea! We tried our best to look like the people we wanna become on the first day! It's real exciting to get outta that ol' dusty university and get some field action!" - Gerlad shouts proudly. "Yeah, me too! I can finally see the world after living in the forest all my life! Though I never truly want to lose my that life, so my outfit is the same I wore back at home!" - Eruca says with a big smile. "But, you know, {Name}, you just wear normal clothes like anyone else! What do you want to become?" - Eruca asks. "I betcha he's gonna be **Sorcerer**!" - Gerald shouts "But what about the **Survivalist** life? Or maybe a **knight in shining armor**?" - Eruca looked real happy after saying that last part. "Man, now you've got me interested! Tell me, {Name}, what are ya gonna be?" > [[Maybe Knight ->Knight Explanation]] > [[Maybe Survivalist ->Survivalist Explanation]] > [[Maybe Sorcerer ->Sorcerer Explananation]] "Hey! I'm sorry alright! I expected a gentleman or something I guess...\ I'm still gonna wait here because Gerald wants me here, right? Right?" - she takes a menacing look at Gerald. "Yeah, 'f course! Ya gotta know, {Name} was best in class so he might've had a bit of a diffent childhood than ya did. Gonna be interesting to see ya'll get along, haha" - Gerald laughs to himself. "Yeah, I guess. I always lived apart of civilisation, so there is much new to find here for me. Hey, {Name}, sorry for the weird introduction and all, I still have much to learn and will give it my best!" - she says happily. > [[I will try my best aswell ->The Meetup]] > [[Well, I'm looking forward to it ->The Meetup]] > [[Just don't do that shit again ->The Meetup]] "Ähh *whisper to Gerald* why did you meet up with a weirdo? This is pretty embarassing..." - Eruca whispers. "Oi, Eruca! You gotta SPEAK UP! This ain't the place for silence, but for action! So what didcha say?" - Gerald speaks in a loud voice. You notice a grin on his face the whole time. "Oh man... Am i the only normal person here... Gotta find new friends fast I guess..." "Hey now, Eruca, we're just toyin with ya, right, {Name}? Gotta say though, you shouldn't put that much effort into these things, your slobber is kinda gross." You keep to yourself about what you just did. [[Continue ->The Meetup]][align center] __The Survivalist__ *** The survivalist is an expert in surving at impossible odds. He knows when to strike, and where. A survivalist has lived through difficult situations all his life and is thus well versed when put back against the wall, be it a fight or a simple conversation. Yet, when a part of a group, he more often than is seen, or not seen, as a really unimportant part of the it. A survivalist might be able so quickly kill a single foe with a well placed shot, yet is pretty useless when put up against multiple foes. His confidence in his own skill is often the demise of the group. [[Choose Survivalist]] > [[Rethink->The Meetup]] [align center] __The Knight__ *** The Knight is a man of the people. His courage, confidence and strength make him popular with the masses and a hero for the Ladys. His Social skills are unmatched, yet he never really learned how to read? Yes, as a knight you put all you eggs into charisma and none in intelligence it seems. The Knight is always at the forefront of any team. He knows how to protect his comrades and how to take on Danger. He is arguably the most important part of any team. Yet, when put up against an enemy alone he often falters. He might not die in the confrontation, but his heavy armor and mighty weapons keep him from hitting smaller, quicker enemies. [[Choose Knight]] > [[Rethink->The Meetup]] "You three there! Step forward!" - the man shouts. He is a guard standing in front of a huge building. "*It's the Recruitment Center, aren't you excited?*" - Eruca whispers. "*I sure am! But the guy is kinda menacing, if ya ask me..." - Gerald whispers back. "You there! I presume your name is {Name}? What is your profession?"

"Woahhh" - Erucas eyes shine up, then turn to a grin - "you gotta prove these plans first though, I'm not so easily impressed!" "Can't say I expected a knight from all the people to be best of class. Hope you didn't bribe yourself through school or worse... Still, a knight should be the best addition to our roster possible. Ya know, there can only be three people in a grou-" Gerald gets cut off by a demanding male voice > [[Continue ->Adventure Starts]] Class: 'Survivalist' Charisma: 2 -- "I want to become a {Class}!" - you spout out loudly. "Wow! That's really cool! I want to be one myself! I honestly didn't expect you to say that though, you being best in class and all that! But hey, you just knew what the best class is all along!" - Eruca says joyfully. "Hey now, we all wanna be startin a new life here, right? We certainly do, don't we, Eruca? I gotta say though, you two are gonna have to step up your game if you wanna be useful with me in the Team, haha!" - Gerald seems to be nervous. "A Sorcerer without his knight... and tere I thought only women would fall for them! The world truly is full of surprises!" "That's not what I mea-" - Gerald starts, but gets interrupted by Eruca. "Anyways! {Name}, as Gerald said, our plan is to-" Suddenly, Eruca is cut off by a demanding male voice. > [[Continue ->Adventure Starts]] Class: 'Sorcerer' Charisma: 1 -- "I want to become a {Class}!" - you say confidentely. "Woa! Man, I don't know if I should celebrate or cry about that! I certaily feel bad for eruca haha! You gotta protect 2 people now!" - Gerald laughs "Great...just great... Hope he's not as bad as the other sorcerers to talk to..." - Eruca seems really let down. "Anyways, {Name}, let me tell you bout' Eruca and my plans. We actually want to-" Gerald gets cut off by a demanding male voice. > [[Continue ->Adventure Starts]] "Good. How about the two behind you? Are they your partners?" - The guard asks. "Good Day, sir. My name is Gerald, I am a student from the local university. I plan on becoming a sorcerer." -Gerald says politely. "*He can talk **without** an accent?" - Eruca whispers to you. "You there! The girl. What is your profession?" - The guard asks Eruca in a demanding voice. You notice she shivers, she must not be very experienced in formal conversation. "M...My name is...Eruca. I want to be..become a survivalist!" -Eruca says quietly, obviously anxious to not speak informal. "Miss, this is not school or university or whatever. Here you have to be one of the best to succeed, meaning i will not let weak minded people in. I give you one more chance, what is your profession?" You sense danger in the guards voice, what should you do? > [[Do nothing ->Eruca Nervous]] > [[Encourage Eruca ->Eruca Friendship]] > [[Speak for Eruca ->Eruca Confidence]]"M..My name is Eruca. I want to be-become a su-survivalist! I have first h-hand experience f-from home!" -Eruca says stuttering, yet with some confidence and pride in her voice. "Good you may proceed." - The guard points towards the Recruitment Center. As you pass the guard, he grabs Gerald and you. "*You two better learn how to protect your party members, alright? I don't want to hear you getting in trouble because you fail to help each other. Am I understood?*" - The guard whispers to the two of you. "Y-yes, sir! W-We promise!" - Gerald answers. "Hey! When are you guys coming?" - Eruca shouts. The two of you run towards Eruca. You hope to do better next time. > [[Continue ->Recruitment Center]]You tap Eruca on the back, she looks at you nervously. "Ya can do it, don't sweat it!" - say Gerald with a big smile on his face. It takes her a moment to compose herself, then she speaks: "My name is Eruca, I want to become a survivalist here. These two are my partners and friends, sir!" - she says in a strong, yet slightly anxious voice. "A strong comraderie and friendship! Keep this up, it will help you greatly on your journey. Please, you may proceed" "Didcha hear that?! Let's keep this friendship up, shall we? Here we come recruitment center!" - Gerald shouts. The three of you start moving towards the Recruitment center, all with a smile on your faces. > [[Continue ->Recruitment Center]] "She is Survivalist, sir, and a goo-" - you say to the guard, but he interrupts you. "I did not ask you! This is partially a test, to see if they can at least overcome the first hurdle! You trying to 'help' here just weakens her prospect of coming through me!" - the guard shouts at you, you flinch. You did not expect such a harsch counter. A hand touches your shoulder, it is Eruca. "Excuse me, sir, but don't let my friend here talk in my stead. My name is Eruca, I plan on becoming a surviavilist. I have preemptive experience through my life in the forest." Gerald and you look at each other, confused at her courage. "Good, that is what i want to hear. You can all continue." - The guard speaks, pointing at the big building behind him. "Recruitment Center, here we go!" - Eruca says full of excitement. The two of you follow. > [[Continue ->Recruitment Center]]{Charisma}
