♫ Cruel Summer

WELCOME BACK SPACEBATTLES
Panic Race is a cross forum combat racing game that started in March of 2017 on GameFAQs and Bay 12 Forums and grew to include MafiaScum and SpaceBattles. While spots for racers are limited, part of the frantic fun in this race of life and death is the audience participation.

YELLOW TEAM ATVs
This time you can recruit your own Yellow Team ATV to automatically race the track and help charge local racers' specials each lap. You can recruit another when they die. Up to 3 ATVs from different spectators at once. The forum that completed the most ATV laps will design the next track. Eliminated players can also participate.

I might be interested in this. Before I make a character though, what sort of limitations do we have for unique abilities?
 
Hopefully I did this right, let me know if there's something I need to change or further explain.

Special: 1

Driver Bio: Minnie Bloodworth, otherwise known by her alias Rattrap, is an aspiring super-villain short on funds. She's entered the race to secure both cash and infamy to kick start her diabolical schemes as well as avoid any unnecessary noise from simply stealing the money.


Vehicle Description: The Cheese Wheel. A motorized mono-wheel that would be used as a getaway vehicle. As such, it's handling and framework have been slightly tuned up to avoid complications in escaping, however it's initial armor was scrapped to preserve it's almost unstable speed. While the Wheel has carrying capacity in the form of several hidden compartments, it can only house one driver safely.

Special Description: True to her villainous persona, Minnie has an arsenal of explosive traps that she carries on her person and can be deployed by the Cheese Wheel with a push of a button. These range from distractions (fireworks) to the more deadly (sticky grenades).

Driver Bio: The Pacifist Soldier is a renowned ex-soldier who, after escaping a violent space fighter war between the Nation of Unfunded Transspecies and the Great Robotic Communist Democracy, has taken up a life of entering the most violent races in the universe and winning without ever using lethal force.

Vehicle Description: A semi-biological beast that traverses using a complex system of anti-gravity organs letting it skim over high-grip carapace-wheels. Known as the Blood Falcon.


Special Description: Ghoultouch - By getting within six meters of another vehicle, whether active or wrecked, and remaining within that radius, the car can attach a feeding tendril and siphon material from the target car to repair itself with, going so far as to cannibalize an entire car to essentially rebirth itself given sufficient time. As an aside, doing this when not damaged and not in a hurry is how this type of entity breeds more of itself.

This doesn't seem to be mentioned as a function of your special, so I will assume it is for flavor.

Oops. First I was going to have a Deflect power to make other people suffer attacks that hit me.
I'm hesitant to assume I understand what this ability does. I venture cautiously a guess that you are implying you can repair yourself by going near a crash?
Are you at all implying you can heal an opponent?

Ah. Basically, extend a big tendril from the car that attaches to an enemy car. As they're hurt, I'm healed. If I get wrecked alongside another car, then I can theoretically get back into the race.

No.

Hrm. Maybe I should've just called it vampire car?
 
Okay one final thing and then maybe you can rephrase things accordingly. Keep in mind that a special is an activated ability not a trait of the vehicle.

With that clarification I'm confident you can put something more final together. Good luck.

P.S. Be specific exactly what your special does. It can be versatile but it shouldn't be too general in description where I'm just not sure what's happening.

"By getting within six meters of another vehicle and remaining within that radius, the car can attach a feeding tendril and siphon material from the target car to repair itself with."

That better?

Backstory: A prince (albeit at least three siblings away from being considered heir to the throne) from a remote underdeveloped planet that only recently managed to develop FTL, Garland ended up deciding one day to leave his pampered life in the palace to explore the stars, which ultimately led to him trying his hand in the Grand Prix.


Vehicle Description: A modified speeder hovercraft designed to give the winning edge in any race.


Special description: An experimental Phase Cloak that lets him temporarily pass through solid objects such as obstacles, other vehicles or attacks for a few seconds while it's active.


Theme Song: F-Zero GX OST: Super Arrow

If you like it go ahead and edit it in. But I'm a little sad that it seems to be missing the part about siphoning off dead vehicles as well I like that part.

I need to see a whole post in order to be able to approve. Like this post or send me a PM once you've made the edits.

This could be interesting setup If your player dies and the vehicle is destroyed for how you have another driver have a similar vehicle. However I need to know if this statement is meant to affect how your special operates during game. I see you say "aside" so I'm currently assuming not.
Obviously the more things your special can do the more each individual ability is nerfed.

I'd figured it'd be something amusing to throw in. Even if I somehow got stuck right alongside another car in-game without having actually taken any damage, and sat there long enough to build an entire second car without flat out losing, I'd need somebody to pilot the second car for it to make a difference.

So no, I don't mean to imply that I'm going to Von Neumann my way through the game. Simple power: So long as I stay close to another car and the link isn't destroyed, I drain their health to fill mine.

Pilot Bio:
The gamer is a legend turned inventor turned racer, he has participated in multiple championships, including the famous Wacky Races.

Special Description:

Super bouncer.

It can leap over objects and cars though its greatest ability is the ability to bounce corners using them to speed up.

It has a much more powerful ability than that.

Ah, I just realized what he means, yeah.

Still, going faster and faster by hitting as many things as possible with the lowest possible amount of ability to actually control your car?

She better damn well hope there aren't any trappits or lava or basically anything where you're fucked if you fall in.
