Let's punch God in the dick! The Shin Megami Tensei LP!

Let's play Shin Megami Tensei!

Well, this seems perfectly normal. I start all my days off in winding mazes. Don't you?

So, the first thing we need right off the bat is a name. While we could certainly go with something like "Dick", I wanna aim for something a little more clever or classier, so put some thought into it. Names chosen this playthrough will be based either upon what gets the most votes or my own opinion in the case of a tie.

We've got eighteen points to distribute as we see fit. Here's what the manual says about the six stats we can choose from.

Quote:

STRENGTH: This statistic affects the damage that you do with direct hand-to-hand
attacks.

INTELLIGENCE: Affects demon conversation--most demons are not happy being the
minion of a summoner less inteliigent than they are, and will be harder to
convince to join. Intelligence also affects spellcasters' casting abilities.

MAGIC: This affects your magic power and defense, and your maximum MP level.

STAMINA: Affects your ability to withstand physical attacks, and your maximum
HP level.

SPEED: This statistic affects the speed at which you act in a battle round.

LUCK: Affects various parameters in the game--chance at escaping a battle, chance of getting a sneak attack, chance of enemies dropping treasure, etc.

So yeah. We start off with five points in each stat and can build from there, so recommend the stats you think would be handy to invest in, how many points to each stat, etc.

As wall-face says, we'll meet a law aligned character here and a chaos aligned character here. We start off neutral and can work towards an alignment from there.

First, we meet the law character.

So, now we get to name this guy. Have some fun with it!

We also get to invest in his stats, so recommend for that, keeping in mind what you've recommended for the protagonist.

And now we name our chaos pal!

Lastly, stats for him as well. Once we have the info we need, we'll begin this LP proper!

I'll leave the stats to the smart people, but for names...

We're Adam
The Lawful character is Aziraphale
The Chaos character is Crowley

Referencing it up, baby!

6 each in stamina, intelligence and strength. We will be a true dick-puncher with a number of demonic cohorts who will also be true dick-punchers.

Magic is for people who aren't brave enough to use their fists.

And now I want to play Nocturne again already...

Those names don't fit, probably. I just want to post so I'm subscribed to this thread.

If you want to punch god in the dick you will have to go physical with one of them, the others don't matter.

You could've told them about how the prot can't use magic, and that there's a fourth char you get to stat =)
