This time, you get to choose from Altair, Sirius, Artemis or your own character as you fight and dodge your way through the temple that houses the Omni Cube as a reward at the very end....
But even then, it's not over yet.
(Since there aren't any game sections, I guess it just comes in here. Oh, and as the storyline proceeds, new characters will be made available.
It would be preferable if you wrote something at least one or two sentences long. You know what I'm talking about. This is third-person view)
Character Stats:
Altair
HP: 2,000
Weapons: Basic Bomb
Abilities: Jumps higher. Can reach ledges not normally accessible from below.
Can also combine with Vega for a limited amount of time to boost speed and evasiveness.
(for example, if there was a high ledge with a switch needed to disable a trap, Altair could do so.)
TAKEN by Altair
Sirius
HP: 2,000
Weapons: Basic Bomb
Abilities: Pinpoint accuracy. Bombs aimed at airborne enemies will hit without fail.
Also may deliver a critical strike once in a while.
TAKEN by Emperor Sirius
Artemis:
HP: 2,100
Weapons: Sword
Abilities: Received training. Is able to kill enemies in one hit if she gets a proper shot at them. Is a fast runner.
TAKEN by Erirudo
NPCs:
Vega
HP: 900
Will take three hits for any hero, then fly off for repairs. Will be back in four or three posts. Will catch any hero if they fall(which will happen quite often, since there's pitfall traps everywhere)
-------
Statues surround a huge temple entrance, intricately carved with thousands of strange symbols. The doors swing open, revealing blackness within.
They have picked this path to take.
There is no turning back.
(I've started off for you. You can't run away, scaredy cats, so you'd better get in there. You've got some treasure to retrieve! You can either use a custom character-apply like this:
NAME GOES HERE
HP: ?????
Weapons: ????
Abilities: ?????
or take one of the available ones.)
This is named Team Up because you, the heroes of this game, must work together to survive. Each character's special abilities(maximum 3) or ability will be utilized to the fullest, as traps of all kinds are hidden in this sacred temple. If a hero dies, the remaining ones must find either a Stone or a copy of one(dotted around the temple's insides-the copies aren't rare, but they're hidden in nooks and crannies), for only those have the power to resurrect a being from the dead. I'll mainly dictate what happens to the group traps-wise and enemy-wise, but you can also do so if you wish.
There are traps EVERYWHERE, so don't just rush through the temple like there's none.
I reserve the right to temporarily kick you out of the game.
And PLEASE DON'T GODMOD. You're not invincible or quick enough to dodge everything. If you're hit by a trap(say a flurry of spears) or attacked by an enemy, you'll lose HP depending on the severity. If you fall into a trap and Vega's gone off for repairs, you'll die. If you lose all your HP, you'll die. Vice versa.
Good luck!

That feeling, deceiving, that burning your soul
My king goes on, my will be done
So join me fallen one
We'll drown our sorrow to this endless sea
Together we'll unchain the rain
Escape the world into our sanctuary
There in my arms you'll be free

I will be the great Altair!   Now to plunge into the temple!!  

(I presume that we have to narrate in third person? Or if it's first person tell me now before I get ahead of myself. x3)

-------------------------------
Altair dashes headfirst into the temple. He looks around at the sides of the temple.
"Hmm. What an interesting structure.." he then looked forward as he went on.

OOC:Third person, unless you feel really uncomfortable writing in that style.
Well, since nobody's taking Sirius, I'll switch my choice to him. o_o
---------
Two figures move into the darkness as the huge stone doors swing shut behind them.
Torches in holsters on the walls burst into bright flames as soon as the doors are completely shut....
Sirius looks around and notices a stone box.
He moves over to it and opens it, revealing a tablet made out of some strange rock. Both sides are inscribed with weird symbols.
He puts it into his backpack for later, in case they need it for some puzzle further on.
Vega follows Altair faithfully, trotting behind him.
Sirius scans the area one last time, then follows the pair.
Neither of them notice something ooze out of the shadows, form into a catlike shape, and slink after them.

Ok, im in then

----
Outside, Artemis cursed under her breath as she scrambled for purchase on the rain-slicked roof. The grey stormclouds above were releasing a deluge of water, drenching her within seconds.
Eventually, she found a grip and heaved herself up to the secret overhead entrance, then slid into it.
She landed with an audible thump on the stone, and quickly rolled into the shadows to avoid detection.
Artemis, gripping her worn sword tightly by the hilt, quietly followed the two who had already gone deeper in.[/i]

Altair made it to the first door...
He pondered about whether he should proceed or not.
They might not be able to turn back, afterall.
He took in a deep breath and turned to Sirius.
"...Are ya ready?"

Artemis stuck to the shadows and made her way past fearsome-looking statues to a gigantic door.
Altair and Sirius were standing in front of it, contemplating whether to enter or not.
She suddenly noticed a creature made completely of darkness about to pounce on both of them, and swung.
The clang of metal on stone was clearly audible as she struck, but it had the desired effect-the creature was sliced cleanly in half, and melted back into the shadows, showing no trace it had ever been there.
She shrugged and investigated the nooks and crannies around, finding and sliding into her backpack a stone carving of an ancient god with glittering rubies for eyes and decorated with gold.
She also took a wooden key from a nearby alcove, perfectly preserved in an amber liquid, feeling it might be useful.
Artemis turned to them both. "Are we going?"

Sirius just stood there with his arms crossed.
"I've been ready, lets just go!"
He was growing impatient.

"Alright then!" Altair exclaimed cheerfully, then rushed through the door first.
It was rather damp in there. He stepped on a puddle and slipped.
"Ouch! ...Way to ruin the cool entrance I was planning." He muttered beneath his breath.
He stood up, wiping himself off and looked around.
"Man is it dark." he then turned to his comrades. "You guys commin'?"

Artemis nods and looks at Sirius for a reply.
"All right, let's go."
She walks in and Sirius follows.
The doors slam shut and an odd grinding sound starts.
The source soon becomes evident as spikes spring from the two walls on either side and start shooting at the trio.
Artemis slices a spike in half and starts running through the barrage of sharp, pointy things.
A spike hits her in the shoulder.
HP: 2,000
She winces but carries on, finally throwing herself into the small doorway at the end.
"Come on! Hurry up!"
