I'm in. Let me know what I can do.

What elements are you including that make it "RPG" style ?

It's usually taken as being a system where you earn experience points through killing monsters/completing tasks, in order to improve the level - and thus the abilities - of the character.

The better ones let you choose what to improve, although that makes it challenging to program as you have to make sure each challenge can be beaten no matter what choice the player has made - which usually means at least 2 ways of beating the challenge.

EG in one game I played, you could choose (amongst other things) to improve strength or jumping.  There was a challenge to get onto a high platform.  If you had improved jumping, you could jump to it.  If you had improved strength, you could lift a nearby heavy object and put it underneath to act as a step.

In a platformer, possible skills might be:

Jumping
Shooting (range, damage)
Punching
Running
Climbing
Grappling (a grappling hook, somewhat like your Telegunner)
