Inspired by this game: Naka-Kon Forums • View topic - A toaster is you.

Welcome! Thought I'd try something a little different. In this RP, you play as a toaster, a humble kitchen appliance fighting to survive in a world of sandwich presses, coffee makers, and bumbling humans!

Mechanics:
This RP is different, apart from the premise, in that numbers will play a large part. Each round, a user can toast a number of items equal to their slots. Each toasted item grants a certain amount of experience, though it takes a certain amount of time. The GM or Co-GM will use a random number generator to decide success. The toasters will also have to fight sandwich presses and other obstacles if they want to survive!

Rolling: This RP will use a D20-esque system. For each action with a substantial chance of failure, a number from 1-20 will be rolled. Each challenge has a difficulty rank. For example, lets say a toaster wanted to toast a piece of whole-grain bread. This would have a difficulty of 5, vs. the toasters toasting skill of 1. Thus, the toaster would need to get a four or higher. The higher the roll, the better they toasted it, and the more upgrade points the user gets.

Rules:
-No godmodding.
-No tennising.
-Keep romance PG-13.

Form:

*Slots: (Starting number is one)

*Manipulator Strength: (Toasters start out able to manipulate only toast-related items.
*Upgrades: (The toaster can start out with one that costs one upgrade point. All toasters start with Brave Little Toaster.)

*1-Dual Slot-The toaster has two slots instead of one.
*1-Bagel Slot-The toaster can now toast larger objects, such as bagels and toaster pastries.

*1-Extended Cord-+2 to cord length. Can be taken multiple times.
*2-Waterproofing-The user is resistant against water, and so has a +25% chance to resist water damage. (Normal toasters only have a 10% chance.) This can be taken multiple times.

*4-Multislot-The user now has 4 slots.
*4-Battery Pack-Allows the user to operate for a limited time unplugged.

Ty. Also, how exactly does a toaster hit on a lady toaster? How do they tell the difference? Unless of course toasters are bi.
 
Toasters can talk to each other and most other machines. There technically isn't any physical difference, but they can give themselves genders they identify themselves as if they feel so inclined.

Accepted! Just remember to edit the slots field to have two, since you chose the Dual Slot skill.
 
May I ask what the point of this is?

You left appearance blank. The point is to RP the life of a toaster, and solve problems a toaster might face, like a rogue blender splashing you and threatening to short circuit you, or a guy with a gun shooting you.
 
I didn't leave it blank. Take another look.
