I'm officially bored. So I came up with an RPG. It's kinda like a mix between Final Fantasy and Pokemon, and it's one of the few monster-trainer games where the actual trainer can fight.

Here's what I need from you to sign up:
-Character Name (You can also give a last name)
-Looks (This also includes race)
-Age (Try to keep age between 10 and 22)
-Gender
-Your beginning monster (Putrepup, Aero, BD)
-Background (Your background story)

Here are your first monster options:

Putrepup: A zombie wolf. GAIA based. Good for balanced stats. Gets a SPIRIT-Type evolved form.

Baby Dragon: duh...PYRO based. If you like power without concern for recoil, select him. All dragons.

Aero: Basically a big blue jay. SKY based. It can learn a few healing abilities. Most evolutions have great magical powers.
--------------------------------------------------
Here's the rules:

GAMEPLAY
In most situations, the game will be choose-your-own-adventure-style, but I will also let your characters respond any way you like at times. You will also recieve battles at times. It gets a bit self-explanatory.

BATTLE
During battle, you can select these options:
-Attacks: Have your active monster use a move.
-Item: You use an item. You can also attack the same turn (does not apply in tamer-vs.-tamer fights, AKA Duels)
-Switch: Change between a monster (or, yourself. You cannot physically fight in Duels)
-Run: Obvious.

OPTIONS
Usually, when I'm done giving you the plotline, you can either act, or open your "Pause Menu".
When you do, you can...
-Use an item
-Check your stats
-Equip items

ELEMENTS
The elements go as so...
PYRO->AQUA->GAIA->SKY
Worse Type->Better type
SPIRIT is basically neutral. If a worse type attacks a better type with that element, damage is halved. Vise-Versa, damage is doubled against Better to Worse.
--------------------------------------------------
The rest is self-explanitory. Usually, I can only work on this game on the weekends, so I'm hiring people to help me with the stories.

I keep getting the notion I forgot some rules, so here's a few add-ons...
--------------------------------------------------
COMMON LOCATIONS:
Here is a list of common places you can visit in most towns:

*B & B: Stands for Beast and Bones(If anybody has a better suggestion, I'll be ecstatic to hear it, cause this name sucks)Basically your PokeCenter. You can revive your monsters (for a cost) Restore everyone's HP/MP (including the Tamer's HP), and upgrade your moves after you receive more EXP.

*Shops: Duh..here's few items: Meats can help out your monsters, or you can give it to wild ones to make them join your team after the fight. Red Vials restore HP. Green Vials restore MP. Leaves of Life revive a monster with 1/2 HP. You equip weapons yourself.

LEVEL-UPS
When a monster recieves 10 EXP, they'll level up. Their stats can increase, and you can choose to a bonus in HP, MP, or Damage for an attack of your choice. When you do Damage, the technique may be "Evolving". Go to a B&B to gain a new ability.

TAMER RANK
After completing quests or through the plot, your tamer rank will get better. You start as a simple Newbie, and can become a Master Tamer. There are 13 levels of Tamer in all, and the higher your rank, the stronger you are (I.E. Tamer HP increases, attack bonuses by using a certain hand, ability to fight and use items same turn)
--------------------------------------------------
That's much better.
