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 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 But enough of that. On to the story. Story: It finally came: November 18th.

Sorry I'm late to the party, if its still in development. I think I'll poke fun at some archtypes of modern gaming. •Name: Justin •Character name: J Fights812 •Character height: 6'2" •Character build: Burly •Character hair style and color: Short light green buzzcut •Character eye color(s): Green •Character race: [Human •Character sex: Male •Character class: Berserker •Weapon: Crossbow and axe Once assimilated into the 'world', J looks around, laughing, "YEAH!!! VR!!" Nothing but forests as far as he can see. Tripping over a rock, he falls and cuts his chin. While it hurts, he shakes his head at how the game is really going above and beyond to immerse him. And without any headsets or sensors! Ignoring the scrape, he looks at his weapons, and his flimsy clothing. This is his first RPG, he was mainly into FPS, but it can't be that much different. After all, everyone wanted this game. "I need some better armor, I'm just wearing pajamas!" He decides to chop down a tree, one to test his hit detection and swing speed. He tries to remember if he turned PVP on, or if it was even an option, making a lot of noise in the process. •Name: Justin •Character name: J Fights812 •Character height: 6'2" •Character build: Burly •Character hair style and color: Short light green buzzcut •Character eye color(s): Green •Character race: [Human •Character sex: Male •Character class: Berserker •Weapon: Crossbow and axe Once assimilated into the 'world', J looks around, laughing, "YEAH!!!

MoblinGardens :
endings : Sorry for letting this one go. Are you two still interested in giving it a shot? If so I'll see if we can't manage to hold an RP with three people without the filter blocking us. If you're still wanting to try, I'd love to get an RP going on here again. endings : Sorry for letting this one go. Are you two still interested in giving it a shot?

Naw, I'm good man, I'd want to bounce stuff off a group of people. It was an interesting setting though, sorry if the other person wants to continue - My current rpg group is small ( 2 people) , so I'd just feel I'm like that over again. |

I guess it's been kind of decided.
Let me know when you try to start another one Eirinn. Let me know when you try to start another one Eirinn. |

MoblinGardens : Will do, man. Thanks for signing up to begin with. It's just going to take something special to get enough people to join with the size of the crowd we have here now.
endings : Understandable. Thanks for giving it a shot. Sorry that it didn't take off. endings : Understandable. Thanks for giving it a shot. Sorry that it didn't take off. |
