Jin

A Roleplaying Game

The Story of how we came to be here

most, so he sent his angels and prophets

to minister to them, to teach them the

ways of good and how to honour Allah.

In the beginning, greatest of all, Allah

parted the seas and created the land

that was to be the Earth. Allah created

the bounty of life upon the lands and in

the oceans and still thirsted for more.

Allah created fire and contained it and

channeled it and saw it do his bidding,

clearing the earth and burning the seas.

Finally, Allah took it upon himself to

create life. First he willed the light into

subservience and created Angels. Then

Allah breathed into the fires of creation

and created the Jin. Finally, Allah

breathed into the Earth, and created

man, whom he adored above all others .

When Allah commanded all creatures to

revere man, Some jin refused and where

exiled to the birthplace of all things, the

Earth. In this game we role play all

powerful genies as they attempt to

survive and thrive on earth.

The angels were beings of true light,

capable of neither free will nor evil, and

while they did not please him, Allah took

them upon himself, as his servants and

servitors.

The jin toiled for Allah upon the earth

and the cosmos lighting stars and

making a thousand worlds for Allah.

Men are the People of the earth, are

both humble and proud, Rich and Poor,

Good and Evil. Man pleased Allah the

Character Creation

The Default state of Jin

To create your character you simply

choose a name for them, and then

divide the page into a big section called

powers and a big section called

promises.

Jin are creatures of smokeless flame,

naturally invisible to humans, but also

conversely very blind and powerless in

the day to day lives of the creatures of

the Earth without the use of Powers.

The first thing you will write in the

powers section is "Nigh Infinite Cosmic

Power" and the first thing you will write

in the Promises section is "itty bitty

living space".

Humans and animals appear as nothing

more than vague blurs to jin unless they

take a power to see clearly, jin cannot

talk to humans unless they take a power

to speak to humans, jin cannot appear

human unless they take a power that

allows them to do so and jin cannot earn

money or barter with humans unless

they take powers that let them do so.

The rest of Character Creation consists

of bargaining for other powers and in

return taking additional promises to

balance them out.

Because "Nigh Infinite Cosmic Power"

covers every miraculous occurrence and

out of the ordinary ability of the jin, All

powers after it must concern ordinary

every day activities that will help your

character survive in the world.

These four abilities are called the big

four powers and are common to most

jin, removing most of the natural

limitations of the default state of jin.

When in doubt as to whether a jin can do

something concerning humans or the

human world without a power, the

answer is no, they cannot.

There is also a small section that

describes how composes and health you

are in the game, which you can find in

the Health Section.

Powers

hearing and 20/20 vision would see and

hear humans. Jin who take Human

Shape without this power are

considered legally blind and deaf.

Powers are the way in which jin affect

the human world. Your character will

have a variety of powers and may

choose to dismiss or not use any power

at any time. If the player chooses to

dismiss or not use all their powers they

are returned to the default state of jin.

There are four big powers that most Jin

will want to take in order to make a

comfortable life for themselves on

earth.

The power to talk and barter with

humans

This power allows you to talk and barter

with humans of all kinds. Jin without

this ability are legally mute and cannot

engage in financial transactions (other

than begging and giving).

The power to assume a human shape

The power to live in occupied buildings

This power makes you human, not just

in appearance but in reality. A living,

breathing, eating, pooping, human. This

Power grants you one visage or

appearance, that your character will use

for most of their worldly interactions.

This power allows you to live amongst

humans, either as neighbours or as

cohabitants. Jin without this ability

cannot enter a private building without

express invitation each time they pass

the threshhold of a building.

The power to see and hear living

humans

Other powers

This power allows you to see and hear

and understand humans of all kinds.

Humans go from being cloudlike

rumbles of thunder to you to being seen

and heard as a human with normal

There are many more powers, as many

powers as you can think of. All powers

require promises in order to pay for

them, althought the big four powers

may receive a discount in the number of

promises required.

Promises

knowingly harm a living thing, I promise

to abstain from the dead and unclean

meat, a promise to attended church

every Sunday, etc ,etc

Promises are the payment that jin have

relied upon for thousands of years to

pay for their powers. Every Promise that

a jin makes is binding before Allah in the

sense that any broken promise will likely

result in Jin Eh Mok being dispatched to

investigate and correct any situations as

required.

All Promises are solemn vows to Allah,

and breaking a promise to Allah will

result in Jin Eh Mok being dispatched. If

the Jin Eh Mok investigate and find you

breaking promises they will enact a

suitable extra punishment for you.

The first and most sacred promise a Jin

has is "Itty Bitty Living Space". All Player

Characters are playing jin that are exiled

to the earth for rebelling against Allah.

Any use of their nigh infinite cosmic

power counts as breaking this promise.

This punishment will never be revoking

a power or adding a promise but other

than that the Jin Eh Mok are allowed to

do anything in their power to make your

life miserable.

Most Jin then have 2 to 5 other promises

decided at character creation that pay

for the big four powers and generally

one or two other powers.

Everybody has a certain number of

Promises they are allowed to break

decided by Allah at the beginning of

creation and kept secret from everyone

(even the Jin Eh Mok). If you break

enough promises and exceed this

number of broken promises the Jin Eh

Mok will eventually settle on the final

solution.

Common promises include things like a

promise to grant everyone's first wish

free of self interest or tampering, a

promise to never break a command

from god (as represented by the 10

commandments), a promise to obey

every angel, a promise to never cross

running water, a promise to never
