Everyone is John: A Roleplaying Adventure [Revived]

Everyone is John

Welcome to Everyone is John, in this game you will take on the role of John.

Well sort of, you are all voices in John’s head, each obsessed with something or another.

Step 1. Your voice

When you join you will send me a private message about you, one of John’s voices.
This requires:
Your Obsession: This is your end goal, what you want to achieve, it can be as wild as you want or as easy as you want.
Your Skills: Two or Three things that you are good at, these can’t be stuff like “Everything Ever” so be sensible, John is only human.
Your Name (Optional): Just a name of your voice.

Step 2. Willpower

Each voice starts with 10 Willpower, unless you chose three skills rather than two, in which case you start with 7.
Willpower is used to take control of John, when I announce a struggle for control, each player secretly PMs me a number between 0 and their current Willpower, the highest number gains control of John, but loses that number of Willpower.

1 Willpower is restored each new bid. You can use Willpower to add to your rolls.

Step 3. John

John has 3 main rules:

John is shit - Anything that would require any sort of skill or finesse is determined by the roll of a six-sided die, on a 6, John succeeds, on anything except a 6 he fails, if the voice currently in control of John has a skill that corresponds to what John is trying to do, John will succeed if the die lands on a 3 or higher
John is mentally weak and unstable - Whenever John is hurt, falls asleep, fails any sort of die roll or completes an objective relating to his current obsession, a struggle for control will happen, if nothing interesting happens to John for 10 minutes in game, he gets bored, a die is rolled and on a 3 or lower a struggle for control will happen, however when this happens each voice gains 1 willpower.
John is a human being - He can’t do anything a human being cannot do, things like flying unaided, lifting a mountain or shooting fire are just not possible

Step 4. Obsession

Depending on your obsession, you will get points when John successfully performs an action relating to your obsession while you are in control, the harder or more complex the obsession, the more points you will get, some obsessions may even end the game immediately.

Step 5. The End

There are 3 end game scenarios:

All voices have 0 willpower
A game-ending obsession happens
John Dies

In case you haven’t realise it, Bid 1 Starts already. DM or PM me your bid! You have ten coins, except you choose three skills, which means you have seven.

Added clarification

@SadSnake and @Hippolytus have the highest bid. Rolling dice to determine the winner of the bid…

1 for SadSnake, 2 for Hippolytus
