I've finally quit being lazy and got around to making a new RP. Normally I don't post the story until after signups, but this time I'm making an exception in hopes of encouraging people to join in. I would love to have four or five people, but I could settle for three (we need enough to keep people from being blocked). Here's to hoping we get enough players to get this off of the ground.
But enough of that. On to the story.
Story:
It finally came: November 18th. The day you and every other hardcore RPG gamer have been waiting for since last year's big reveal ー the release of the somewhat awkwardly named Baneblade: All Hail. So far the gameplay is all that anyone really knows anything about, so the name is a bit of an enigma at best, leaving many wondering if it's a pun, and others asking if it's an unfortunate mistranslation.
You don't normally preorder games, but this one was an exception, and it's due to arrive in the mail today.
It's seven A.M. Normally you'd be
sleeping right now, but having a brand new, hotly anticipated game coming in the mail, you decide to make an exception and drag yourself out of bed earlier than usual. As you pour yourself a bowl of cereal, a sound on your porch steals your attention away from the bowl you're filling with flakes.
The mail.
Rushing to your mailbox you get the game and dash back inside to boot up the system, breakfast now far from your mind.
As the game's title screen comes up, your excitement somehow grows even more. Pressing the button to start the game sends you to the character creation screen: it's a very deep customization process and takes a good chunk of time to get everything exactly right, but after over thinking it for a while you finally end up with the perfect character.
Starting the game you sit back and wait for the big intro, but to your surprise, nothing happens. No cutscene, no dialogue, not even a splash screen. Just black, empty, nothingness.
It must be a glitch, right? Maybe the system crashed? A quick reset should do the trick, you decide, and so you restart the system, boot the game again, and prepare to make your character all over again. As the character creation screen opens however, you're pleasantly surprised to see that the game has remembered your previous choices, and so, confirming it, you try to start it again.
Black screen.
Frustrated, you begin pressing every button in hopes that somehow it might help.
Still nothing.
Getting up you decide to try restarting the system once more, hoping that it isn't a problem that will require waiting for a patch. Before you can reach the button on the system however, a message pops up on the screen.
"Error: you have not been initialized. Do you wish to be initialized now?
Yes
No
Caution: This process is final and will lock you into character for the duration of the game. "
Something about this seems odd, but your excitement for the game roars back to life upon seeing a chance to finally begin, and with little hesitation you highlight "Yes" and confirm your choice.
_____________________________
Opening your eyes you see that you're surrounded by trees, flowers, and other greenery, as well as what appears to be hundreds of other people dressed like they're on their way to a Comic-Con to enter a cosplay contest for some fantasy story. You have no idea what's going on here, or how you got to wherever you are. There are so many questions running through your mind, and everyone else seems to be just as confused as you are. Before you can think to say anything, words begin appearing over everyone's head. You manage to catch a few of them: "Hayashi", "Lily", "Illius" and "Syron92".
Floating words? Syron92? Are these usernames?
The same thought seems to occur to the others at the same time, as many begin shouting and panicking. A few stare off in shock, and some seem to be trying to figure out how this is possible still.
Trapped in a game? This all seems so oddly familiar, like it's some sort of bad animé plot or something... Nah.
Anyway, standing here gawking isn't going to accomplish anything, but what should you do?
(OoC: feel free to do literally anything you choose here: I'll work it into the next plot point)
Rules:
Pardon my laziness, but all of my RP rules are generally the same, so check out the rules
in this thread's opening post. They're pretty much the same as the forum's rules for RPs, but they're more specific.
Please note that these rules are subject to some exceptions.
Character sheet:
Everything in this section is optional.
•Name:
•Age:
•Hair color:
•Eye color:
•Sex:
•Height:
•Build:
•Occupation:
•Grade/Major (if student):
This information may never come into play, so don't worry with it unless you just want to.
The following is required.
•Character name:
•Character height: (4'10 min - 6'5 max, regardless of race)
•Character build:
•Character hair style and color:
•Character eye color(s):
•Character race: [Human, Elf, Fairy]
•Character sex:
•Character class: [Berserker (all physical attack and defense), Warrior (mostly physical, but with minor magical abilities, such as basic healing and defense or attack spells), Mage (Mostly magical, with weak physical abilities)]
•Weapon (Berserker can have two): (No fire arms or explosives. Only older weapons, such as swords, knives, bows, bos, etc. Your weapon can be made up so long as it fits in with the style of weaponry mentioned here)
On a side note, I promise this isn't inspired by SAO at all. After all, SAO wasn't the first show or game to use a premise similar to this. :3
