Well here's your chance!  I am taking 20 lucky people and putting them in a video game!  That's 11 men and 9 women.  Here are the things you can be:

A Male Hero
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Light

A Female Hero
Hair: Blue
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Light

A Male Soldier
Hair: Black (eyebrow color)
Eyes: Brown
Skin: Light

A Female Soldier
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Brown

A Male Mage

A Female Mage

A Priest

A Priestess

A Male Monk

A Female Monk

A Male Thief

A Female Thief

A Male Pirate

A Female Pirate
Hair: Purple

A Male Elf
Hair: Green
Eyes: Green
Skin: Light

A Female Elf
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Yellow (??)
Skin: Light

A Man In Heavy Armor
Hair: N/A (Helmet)
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Light

A Samurai (Male)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Light

A Male Ninja
Hair: Black (eyebrow color)
Eyes: Grey
Skin: Light

A Female Ninja
Hair: Black
Eyes: Grey
Skin: Light

You can also choose from these classes:

Warrior:

High in Attack and Defense, okay in Agility, but lacking intellegence.  Warriors can equip most any weapon or armor, but never once learn a magic spell.  That is replaced with skills.

Spellcaster:
These are all-around magic folk.  They are mostly intellegent and agile rather than offensive or defensive.  They learn a powerful arsenal of spells, without really crossing the line between White and Black magic.  They are also limited on equipment, so that makes them almost the exact opposite of the Warrior class.

Battler:
These are agile, powerful people who actually lack defense and intellegence.  While the Warrior class can learn no spells, the Battler class can learn quite a few that could really help.  There is one problem with this class though... they can't equip ANYTHING!  Luckily, this class seems to level up more quickly than the others.

Healers:
These are pure White magic.  They are only there to heal the party, to create magic barriers, and to remove status ailments.  However, they do level up VERY quickly, although their stats suck with extra mustard.  They can also sometimes control the weather.

Warlock:
Ah, yes... the powerhouse of the Magic team.  Warlocks are PURE BLACK MAGIC.  They are all about harming the enemy, or causing status ailments.  They learn the most powerful spells, yet lack any attack or defense.  They rely solely on their minds in battle.  This class seems to level up quite slowly.

Fighter:
These are average fighters.  They have a few spells, and their stats are about the same throughout their average level speed lives.  They can also equip quite a few things too.

Ok!  I think we're ready!  All you gotta do is say what you want to be, your character's name, and your class, and we'll be on our way!

Wait!  Yes I can!

Ok, you also get to pick your growth rate:

Fast leveling/Lower Stats
Regular leveling/Normal Stats
Slow leveling/High Stats

I also need help with spells and items and equipment, so if there's any suggestions, I'll be happy to put them in.

By now you're probably wondering what I'm doing.  I'm letting you create your own videogame with YOU in it.  So as soon as everyone signs up (until then you can post ideas and just chat) we'll start making it!  Oh yeah, and enemies would be nice too.

Normal speed, I guess. Maybe *slightly* faster. For my name, I'll go with Sapphira. I still like the sound of it, and it sounds kinda mystical, like a spellcaster would be. :)

Although I'd rather be blonde, my hair can still be blue, it you think it'll look better.

I guess I meant what, exactly, is a critical hit? (I mean, that seems pretty obvious, but I wanna make sure.) What happens when you get a critical hit?

A critical hit is a once-in-a-while hit that does a LOT more damage than usual.  It is also known as "striking the weak spot".  It can happen either way, to the enemy or to you.

Hm. Interesting. Would you mind telling me what medium you're using to create this? Seems a lot like RPG Maker 2K.

 Anyway, I'll go with, I guess, a Male Mage. However, I'm not one for Blue Hair on men, so, if it's possible and no trouble, Brown hair would be preferred.

 The Warlock class.

 Slow Leveling/High stats.

 Feh, who needs criticals when you can use magic.

 That's fine. All I was trying to say was I didn't care about critical hits.

"And it's RPG2K3."

 Eh, close enough. I had figured it was one of the two. I wasn't aware people were distributing RPG2K3 yet. Although, I guess that makes sense, since distributing RPG2K is illegal now.

 Ah yes, Battle Music. An essential to any RPG.

 I've found a few from some of my favorite games; keep in mind these are midis, and I prefer all of them over the 3 themes they give you in the RTP. Besides, putting MP3's in it makes the download much larger.

My class, however, will be a Spellcaster. BTW, could I modify my CharSet? It doesn't suit my liking, and I wanted to tweak it a bit. Don't worry, I'm a pro!
