When it comes to being an author, life is made hard for you. Let's face it: You've got to constantly come up with new material, write hundreds of pages, and still manage to please your fans while trying to maintain a social life. Not the easiest job in the world. Some of you may be thinking "OH NO HES QUITTING THE LEGEND OF BOB!!!111!one" but that is not the case at all. I plan to continue the story on weekends and breaks or in my other bits of free time. However, I do want to start a sort of 'Interactive Story' as noted in the title. This is a story that you all can participate in, adding your
own twists and furthering the plot because imagination is better when you share it. Anyway, without further ado, let me explain the concept of Awesome Land!
_______________________________________________________________-
Setting:
Awesome Land! (Exclamation mark optional), as you may or may not know, is the place where Bob first found the sword Excalibob. Unfortunately, after taking the sword and going back to Georgia, Awesome Land was plunged into darkness, chaos, and other such adjectives of the type. Storms are frequent, people die often, and sellers of chicken have found that many people have become vegetarians.
Objective:
The objective of this story is absolutely nothing. Do whatever you want, as long as it is within reason. No summoning atomic bombs with your pinky unless I give strict permission!
Rules:
Oh...The dreaded rules a storyteller must provide. I have to ensure that things don't go crazy here.
1: Keep things PG13 here. As far as I know, no one that frequents the forum (other than Jason) is older than 17, and I don't want inappropriate content in the story. That means you especially, Eric.
2: No spamming.
3: If you want to join the story you must post a character with the following format.
Name:
Age:
Description/Appearance/Personality:
Weapon:
Powers:
Career:
Other:
Example Character:
Name: Mysterious Hooded Woman
Age: Sounds/Looks to be in her 20s.
Description: A hooded female who lives in New Zealand. She desires to go into Alcatraz to meet with Martha Stewart. She has a short temper with stupid people.
Weapon: None
Powers: Magic, like all New Zealanders. She only uses it in self defense.
Other: She's a Democrat, so she's voting for Obama.
How did (s)he arrive in Awesome Land?: While searching for Bob, she fell into a portal caused by a mystic banana left by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
4: Use proper grammar/punctuation. You are in school now (except Jason). You have no excuse for typing like this: "so guys i was liek on my wei to a howse when bob came and attakd me."
5: If a character is speaking, use quotation marks. Be descriptive as well. Don't say: "I like fried food." said Bob. He sat down.
Do say: "I really enjoy eating deep fried goods. They are crunchy, salty, and cause heart attacks!" replied Bob as he sat down across from the hooded woman.
EDIT: Also, if you're describing scenery, do just that. Describe it, as in be descriptive. "It was a glorious summer day as Bob arose from his slumber. He drew his mighty blade and prepared to embark on an adventure" is greater than "Bob woke up and saw sun. He got his sword and left to fight.'
6: I reserve the right to amend these rules at any time.
7: You may begin posting characters. I am using this to measure the imagination of you all, so don't disappoint me.
Edit: Also, I don't care if you want to make your character and this story silly like the Legend of Bob or give it a creepy emo plot like Kingdom Hearts. Just try to stay consistent.
8: No controlling other characters unless they are made up by you or you have the owner's permission.

LOL My personal character and Awesome Land's noble/evil ruler.
Name: Leon Veralice (pronounced VARE-UH-LIS)
Age: 25
Description/Appearance/Personality: Emperor Veralice was once a benign and beloved ruler until his land was pwnd. And I mean PWND. Lol u shouldve seen the way Bob just took the sword and the whole land just died. Anyway, Veralice hates everything since the sword was taken and is quite the cruel ruler. His tax rate is...OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND! Veralice has pale skin that is covered by light armor which is covered by a dark black cloak. Standard Evil King clothing. His hair is short and blonde, but its always covered by a 1337 hood.
Weapon: A magical sword. It makes people go insane and is the rival of Excalibob. Entitled the Hystoger (HISS-TOE-GARE) and given to him by some weird lady, it allowed him to rise to his emperor status.
Powers: Dark Magic. The coolest kind of magic. He loves magic. It kills. He can use it to possess people, kill people, and teleport. He's virtually indestructible because of his magic.
Career: Emperor and former employee at McJimmy's gourmet five star fast food restaurant.
Other: OH LOOK ITS A LAWLASAURUS! IT EATS PONIES AND DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
Theme Song: (You must play it anytime your character encounters Emperor V) Our Solemn Hour by WT

Notable Locations of Awesome Land! shall go in this spot. These include restaurants, buildings, caves, etc.
McJimmy's: The best fast food restaurant on the planet Earth. It supplies relatively cheap food and is the only food store in Awesome Land that has not been taken by Leon.
Imperial Palace: Leon's house. It's quite lovely aside from the traps. Protected by a giant gate with a V on it.
Imperial Car Wash: A place to wash your car (If you have one). The tax rate here is notorious for being higher than the actual price of the service.
Awesome Cave: Formerly a cave filled with bats. Leon killed the bats. Currently a cave filled with monsters.
Lake Awesome: The body of water that supplies all of Awesome Land! It has a limitless supply of water and is located next to a special shrine.
Lief Shrine: The shrine where Excalibob, the awesomest blade ever made, was once had. Lief Shrine regulates the climate and good happenings of the land, and when Excalibob was taken the Shrine was indirectly responsible for the land's plunge into chaos.
Feil Shrine: As one would expect, the antithesis to Lief Shrine. This shrine regulates the death rate and crime of Awesome Land. Feil Shrine was created by a deity who hated all things that were awesome. The sword Hystoger was located here before Leon took it. This shrine is responsible for Leon's radical behavioral change and all the deaths happening. Oh, and storms too.
Imperial Hospital: All things with Imperial in their name were commandeered by Leon after Excalibob was stolen. The hospital is no different. The prices for being fixed here are extravagant, and thus everyone dies on a regular basis.

Weapon: The Ugly Stick (When he beats people with it, they become ugly)
Powers: Turning people ugly, Turning them back, his Ugly Stick glows when ugly people are near. When he smiles, winks, and does the stupid finger pointy thing the target head asploads (used VERY rarely)

Tyler, I think when ugly people are near his Ugly Stick should start glowing  And yeah Austin, I was being serious. Was my description bad? Also, your characer used to work at McJimmy's. I need to know what kind of store/restuarant/service McJimmy's was so this can make sense. |

Yes it should, but he instead of Johnny Mambutoo O'Malley having worked for McJimmy, McJimmy lured the aforementioned ex-male model into Awesome Land with promises of a modeling contract and candy.
Also, what is all this gonna amount to?

Austin, since today is Michael's birthday, do you think you can call him and sing him happy birthday in a creepy, Michael Jackson voice?

4: Use proper grammar/punctuation. You are in school now (except Jason). You have no excuse for typing like this: "so guys i was liek on my wei to a howse when bob came and attakd me." Can we use weird 1337 grammar in quotations? Just leave the story in normal grammar to make it simple and easy to understand, but let quotes be as weird and complicated as you want. Just to make it funnier. |

Name: Derp-bot
Age: lol over 9000
Description/Appearance/Personality: A robot. Basically, R2D2 in his speaking abilities... and height... and overall looks... except he has a mustache and an orange turban and roller skates.
Weapon: IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZARZ!!
Powers: *see weapons*
Career: Formerly a cash register at McJimmy's, Derp-bot shut down after a massive power failure in Ausum Land, next to Awesome Land, caused by a giant rubber chicken called the Lolasaurus stepping on a power line. When the power returned, the Lolasaurus somehow channeled all the power from the land to McJimmy's. The insane amounts of energy transfered to Derp-bot caused him to malfunction and grow a mustache and roller skates. He wears a turban because he thinks it looks cool (yes, he's a robot that can think).
Other: Derp-bot ended up in Awesome Land when the Lolasaurus stepped on McJimmy's and accidentally kicked Derp-bot across the sea into Awesome Land right after having transfered all the energy from the city to Derp-bot. McJimmy's was immediately magically restored to its former fried glory after the Lolasaurus removed its foot from the roof
Other Other: LOLOLDERPDERPDERP (Derp-bot only speaks in Derpish: only says Derp, but in different tones and with different "voice" inflections... like the Chinese, only Derpish used 50 different tones.)
