Air Rides

[terrapin]

First off sorry for being absent, I've been haveing IRL problems so I couldn't really focus on anything

But as the idea suggests, I was thinking our characters could have "air rides" similar to Kirby's warpstar based on the system of the game Kirby's Air Ride. We would have multiple points to spend in the stat categories of Speed, Glide, Weight, Turn, Offense, and Defense.

Speed determines how fast you go
Glide determines how easily and how long you can fly through the air
Weight makes it so you're not knocked away as easy
Turn determines how easily you can turn
Offense determines how powerful your air ride machine is
Defense determines how many hits it can take

I coupled boost and speed, and defense and HP together but left out charge.

Besides stats each machine could have a unique feature like the rocket star or the swerve star

It's okay, but if you plan on being gone for more than five days then you might want to post in the "Leaving?" board. I plan on having an activity check soon and I don't want to accidentally delete someone.

Well, since I like the idea, but don't want to make this rp too much like any of the games, I'd like to modify it a bit. I'd give about 10 points to everyone, if they choose to make a "air ride" then they can spend them in the categories you posted above. They are all free to design their rides and I'll turn it into a type of "roleplay game." The design and states of the ride will be shown on a new kind of "profile sheet" for the air rides alone. Some of the roleplayers will just be spectators, but can join if they please at the start. All the "games" will be mostly like races, but some may say that they can attack each other while riding. The rewards of the games will vary. Sound good so far?

10 points seems a little small maybe 15 points? Other wise it sounds good

An example would be

Name:Energy Star
Type: Air Ride (as there are bikes too)
Stats:

• Speed:3
  
• Glide:1
  
• Weight:2
  
• Turn:3
  
• Offense:1
  
• Defense:5
  

Abilities:

• Reduces post recharge by half (minimum 1)
  
• Regenerates every other post
  

Appearance: Green version of Free Star (will get pic if needed)

History: *WIP*

15 points is fine. The abilities I'd like it if it was less of a game-like thing. Maybe the "abilities" could be turned into things like ridged edges? These ridged edges could be used for multiple things during the race, like gripping a turn to make a sharp turn, or destroying another's ride. I'll have to add into cappy town's description that it has a repair shop, lol. xD

I've got to go for now, but I'll start a document so that I can start working on a profile example for the rides. Whenever I get an idea I'll add it into the document real quick, then modify it later.

--EDIT--

Okay, this is what I came up with:

Name: Optional. This is where you can name your ride.
Type: It can be anything from an “air ride” to a “ground ride.” Example: Air rides are things like Kirby’s warpstar. Ground rides are things like wheelies.

Stats
You have a max of 20 points for each ride.

Speed: Speed determines how fast you go.
Stamina: Stamina determines how long or how high your ride can go before breaking down or crashing. if this has 15 or above it can fly into outer space. Don't worry, extra points can be won in races, given by admins, and occasionally bought from the repair shop in cappy town. Also, certain characters that are good with designing rides may be given more points to increase realism.
Weight: Weight makes it so you're not knocked away as easy, some of the lighter characters may need this so that they don’t fall off, but others may have learned to stay on somehow.
Turn: Turn determines how easily and how quickly you can turn.
Offense: Offense determines how powerful your ride’s “attacks” are.
Defense: Defense determines how many hits it can take from another ride.

Abilities
This can be a number of different things, for example: It can have something that speeds it up for a short amount of time, kind of like a booster, or ridged edges that can cling to sides to make a sharp turn or destroy another’s ride. Some rides may have slick sides so that the ridged edges won’t work on them.

Appearance
This can be either a picture, a two sentence paragraph, or both, describing how your ride looks.

History
This is optional, but it can include how or where it was made, how it was obtained by your character, or even how many races it had won before.

Like it? Yes? No? Maybe? Ice cream's yummy? No, I don't need someone to answer that, we all know it's yummy. That and cookies.
Cookie: WHAT?!!

I see you replaced glide with stamina, but still I like it. I'll try posting in the leaving section next time as well

So do we post the "Air Rides" right here?

No, I'll make a board for it... Later. I forgot to make the board before I left so now I have it saved in a document on my computer but not here. I'll have to make it from what I have above, but that's okay. It'll just take a little longer.
