The Story
In the year 2042, technology advanced to a point where virtual reality gaming now transferred all your mental controls to your avatar so that it was like you were actually there now, instead of just in a chair with a helmet on. Many VR games exist in the world now, the most popular being Firefight, a shooter with dozens of different settings, from WW2 to Space, with weapons to match; Brutal Brawl, a fighting game where you customize your own fighting avatar and compete with people around the world, or with an AI opponent; and Nexus, a VRMMORPG set in a fantastic world of magic and dragons. Nexus is the newest game on the market and so far only has 15,000 players, due to a limited test release. The man behind Nexus, Dimitri Serrano, designed, coded and manages the game by himself, with no other GMs or staff. He created the game with one goal in mind: to create a world where he could reign supreme as its god and know what it’s like to be all powerful. Those 15,000 players got to enjoy the launch day as just a game, but at the end of the first day, the players found themselves trapped in the game, unable to log out. The in-game avatar of the creator appeared before everyone and told them the game’s true purpose and turned their customized avatars into the people playing them. At the end of the speech, he made two things crystal clear: 1) the only way to escape was to clear the final dungeon, and 2) you die in the game, you die for real.
The RP begins a month into the game; so far, over 4,000 people have died and only the first 5 main dungeons have been cleared out, 15 still remain. Some people have pushed ahead, clearing dungeons and leveling up to fight for their lives, others are content with staying in low level areas and living as peaceful a life they can in their new virtual home, some have even gotten married in-game. There are many guilds out there, the most prominent being The Liberation Front.The Classes
Clerics: Healers; they specialize in staying away from the front lines and keeping people alive. They are quite rare as most of them died in the first month. (1/1)
Mages: Casters; they specialize in elemental attacks and stay behind the front lines of battle. They aren’t as rare as clerics, but are still fairly hard to find. (2/2)
Fighters: Melee; they don’t specialize in any particular weapon, but can use almost any weapon effectively. Most tend to fight with fist weapons.
Warriors: Melee; they specialize in swords, great swords and shields. They make the best tanks and can take the most hits before being in danger.
Rogues: Melee; they specialize in daggers and poisons. They stick to the shadows and dish out damage from behind foes, but they are quite fragile.
Archers: Ranged; they specialize in bows and thrown weapons. They stay behind the main battle and hit targets with powerful ranged attacks. (2/2)
Da Rules
No godmodding (DUH!)
Character limit of 2, 3 if I think you can handle it.
One-liners are fine only if they help to advance the story but too many of them gets you a warning, then if they continue, a boot.
Normal RP rules we should all know.
