Well, in an attempt help revive this board I'm going to try creating an rpg as well. Scroll to the very bottom if you do not want to read the entire details to the rpg:
History: There are only three planets in the universe that are unique compared to any other planets in the entire universe. These three planets have extremely long orbital paths, and every thousand years, these three planets approach each other so close that the planets nearly collide.
This event had marked the very first civilization of man. Inhabitants were born on all three of these planets. The planets separated after a year, and the human civilizations on each planet developed, unaware of the other two planets' existence.
Over the time, the civilizations adapted to the conditions of the planets, and three completely different lifestyles emerged. There were the 'prehistoric' Brutes, the 'medieval' Casters, and 'modern' Soldiers. During these one thousand years, the people on each of the planets have nearly used all their resources and now must find another planet to inhabit.
Now, the planets are approaching once more after a thousand years. People are now aware that there is another planet that they can inhabit and several wars immediately arise. It is now up to each race to successful conquer another planet, or to become extinct on their former devastated planet.

--------------------
Locations:
Germania: The home planet to the Brutes. Germania is filled with several dry, empty uninhabited plains and rocky mountains. The Brutes depend on specific rock minerals to support their capital city, Heria. If they do not collect this mineral, Heria will crumble and crush thousands of inhabitants who live in the city.
Heria- The capital city of the Brutes. Heria is filled with several caves which provide as a powerful defense against invading races. Casters are limited to Earth and Wind spells, and Soldiers are not advised to use explosives while in the caves. The caves allow Brutes to move quickly and effectively, while confusing and getting invading parties lost.
Ferranar Outpost- An outpost to the south of Heria set up by the Brutes to move healthy units in The Battlefield and wounded ones out. It is an effective post that holds the Brutes defense in The Battlefield.
Deswell Camp- A small camp set up by the Casters to the north of Heria. The Casters use this small camp to observe the entrances to Heria and how often Brutes go in and out of them.
***
Umancicar: The home planet of the Casters. This planet is filled with several forests and lakes. The Casters recently have ran out of resources to enchant and if they continue to draw upon the planet for magic, the planet will soon deteriorate and will be completely destroyed.
Ferlysson- The capital city of the Casters. The capital city is contained within a large, thick forest that hides the city well. To the north of the city are the Scorched Ruins, which provide excellent defense, and to the south The Snare Trap. Most of the Casters secure the east and west parts of the forests, and a few patrol through The Snare Trap.
The Scorched Ruins- The Scorched Ruins came to be when careless inhabitant’s from Ferlysson used their magic for their everyday needs. The region became corrupted and is extremely dangerous to any races. However, the region has been traversed by few of the strongest and most intelligent people. It provides excellent defense against parties who would dare enter, but is the least secured area by the Casters.
The Snare Trap- The Snare Trap is a region in the forest filled with vines, poisonous plants, and marshes designed to attack and wear out invaders. Several Casters are familiar with the region and know where and how to dodge the traps. The Snare Trap provides a huge advantage to the Casters for it allows them to easily access the capital city and The Battlefield quickly and safely.
The Flare- The Flare is a camp set by the Soldiers to the southwest of The Snare Trap. The Flare’s primary goal is to breach through the Snare Trap’s defenses and to provide a weaker defense towards the Caster’s capital city.
***
Ceron: The Soldiers have established several steel buildings on Ceron during the thousand years. The buildings provide an abundant amount of food, but the pollution has been drastically increasing over the past few years due to lack of natural plants. If the Soldiers do not find natural plants, they will suffocate under a large cloud of pollution.
Fort Antagonist- A large fort designed with the Soldiers’ most powerful weaponry. The east main entrance consists of two large mortars with several stationed Soldier’s making it nearly impossible for invading parties to enter. There is also an entrance at the west end of the city that is well secured also. To the north and south of the fort are high walls which aren’t believed to be climbable, and are secured with less soldiers.
Frontier Post- Frontier Post is a set of operations established to the northwest of Fort Antagonist. It transfers Soldiers from the capital city to this post to equip them and enter the battlefield. It allows the Soldiers to put up an effective offensive attack in The Battlefield.
Renon Outpost- A settlement to the south of Frontier Post quickly established before the Soldiers detected its presence. Here, there are several strong Brutes well equipped to intervene with Frontiers Post’s operations.
***
The Battlefield: An unsecured region by all three races. The Battlefield is the intersecting point of where the three planets nearly collide, and also the region where jumping to other planets is possible. The Battlefield is one of the most dangerous and unpredictable regions with endless wars. Several trees, rocks, and ruins of structures have been destroyed by the force of the three planet’s gravity. While The Battlefield is dangerous, it also is the only way to gain access to other planets.
--------------------
Where Do I Fight?: The following are areas you can fight in to gain power and help your race control areas.
Your Hometown Capital City: Defend your capital city from enemies. You can easily defend and flee at will, but attacks on capital cities may not come too often and you gain less experience.
The Battlefield: Because the planets are so close to each other, people can literally jump from one planet to another. Because of this, there are constantly wars waged here to defend their planets from being invaded. There are several battles you can engage in to gain quick experience, but is extremely dangerous to people who are ill equipped.
The Race's Resourceful Planet: Each race must attack a different planet in order to survive because of its abundancy in resources the race uses. Brutes must conquer Soldiers, Casters must conquer Brutes, and Soldier must conquer Casters. The resourceful planets are dangerous because the invading race is weak against the defending race on the planet.
The Race's Useless Planet: You can also attack the other planet that the race has no need for. Unlike the resourceful planets, invading races have the advantage over the defending race. This allows races to easily conquer areas and weaken one of their enemies, but offers little experience.
--------------------
Basic Rules:
Standard rpg rules apply as well as a few extra notes:
- Races who have advantages over the other race deal 300% damage
- Double speed allows for 2 attacks
- You gain Exp and Ability points by slaying enemies. Experience allows you to level up and gain more attribute points, while Ability points allow you to gain more Abilities in a specific field. If enough Ability points are spent in one field, you will gain another ability(Ex. Brute's fields are Blunt, Slice, Impact, and Pierce).
- Brutes and Soldiers can only use abilities if their weapons are equipped. They can potentially equip two items at once as long as the weapon is not two-handed. (Ex. Brutes can equip gauntlets and a longsword to perform blunt and slash abilities; Soldiers can equip a pistol and grenade to perform standard and explosive abilities). However, Casters can use whatever abilities in any field whenever they want.
- After the first round and every one after, you and your enemy are in specific positions. You can counter these positions by using an ability that is strong against the enemie's previous ability. For example: An enemy finished casting a fireball and if in a fire position. You can counter by using a [blunt, water, or standard] ability to deal 200% damage. Below are the ways to counter an enemy's attack.
Blunt, Water, Standard: Strong against- Slash, Fire, Explosive
Slash, Fire, Explosive: Strong against- Pierce, Wind, Rifle
Impact, Earth, Shotgun: Strong against- Blunt, Water, Standard
Pierce, Wind, Rifle: Strong against- Impact, Earth, Shotgun
