A mesh of .hack and Sword Art Online

[Cheshire Cat]

Hello to anyone that reads this, to be brief I've been feeling very nostalgic as of late and would love to come up with an RP that is set in an MMO RP game, very similar to the original .hack or G.U., and Sword Art Online.

I've gotten together a few ideas, If I decide to based it more along the lines of the .hack series I think the RP will be called .Hack//Beyonder, not the most creative but I like it. Otherwise It'll just be "The World" as was the name of the MMO in the .hack series. Definitely Open to names though, My nostalgia may be clouding my naming things, haha.

Anyway, I'd like the RP to be set during the Beta version of a new MMO and of course things go horribly wrong with hundreds if not thousands of people becoming trapped inside of the latest step in augmented reality technology.
Blah blah blah, your character is trapped in an online game.

I'd love for there to be hundreds of job classes, I'm not limiting anything but be creative and don't be OP. If you're character fighting style is a certain way, be sure they have checks as pretty much all Job Classes do in video games.
Come up with a skill set, what their specialty is, how they fight effectively, etc. whatever you can come up with.
HOWEVER I would love to keep the technology within the game up to late steam technology. Just because it'll allow the use of things from Swords and Magic, all the way to steam powered guns and rifles and miniature cannons. Be creative. If you want to be a Brawlic Male whose job class is Chef/Cook and they fight by swinging around a giant frying pan, go for it. Just Remember, everything has checks so be sure to find yours.

As for character Races, Since there are many a fur on this site, everything from humans to furs are allowed. As was the case in the .hack games, but since I like fun stuff and would like this to be the 'best MMO', you can be Skeletons, orcs, elves, humans, furries, scalies. Just NO FLYING ALLOWED.
However, no major perks are associated with a specific race. There are small things you can implement, but don't get carried away.

Werewolves or Other Werekin are allowed, you can choose to be fur or human. Just don't over play it. It's a game, anything can be beat, even a beasting out werewolf.

As for the setting. I'd hope for it to be set in the central log in town of Neo Mac Anu, most persons setting up residence in some of the many Inns around the victorian style town. Outside of that people may travel through warp gates or by foot. The upside to warp gates is that sometimes you can get to specified or secret dungeons if you know the right sequence of words for a gate.

Lastly, Since this is an adult-ish site, Sex is allowed, also I'd LOOOOOVE to have a few bad endings in game. Basically have a character or two end up in a situation where they die, become trapped, end up a slave, etc.
The Beta version of the game was wild yo, and it's buggy sometimes ;p

Any Questions pls don't hesitate to post one!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it could be fun. A couple of questions though. 1- Is there some kind of end goal and/or are we going to take the RP as far as we can. 2- Are there any other "no-no's" besides no flying and just generally being fair with job class and skill set?

There is an end goal of 'getting the hell out of this game' hopefully. Otherwise, nah, have fun, build your adventures.
As far as "no-no's", flying is a big one, otherwise I can't think of anything that would be too out there to warrant a No. If you have a thought, pitch it and see what happens :O

I'd be interested as well.

I would enjoy actually doing this, Chesh, if you're still up for trying!

[Cheshire Cat]

I'm still up for it. This post was more for discussion if people had more suggestions or other ideas for input, which I'm still open for.

At the very least people need to come up with characters. Probably

Name:
Characters in game age:
Characters out of game age (Not your irl age):
Race/Species:
Class:
Strengths:
Weakness:
Weapon(s):
A brief Personality description, likely involving some of the characters RL cross over since it will reflect how they handle things 'in game'.:

Etc. IDk. Whatever anyone else can think of to help flesh this out.

[Arashi_kuriyami]

Name:Aka Kuriyami "red"
Gender: Female
Characters in game age:17
Characters out of game age:17
Race/Species: Pantherus Pardus (panther)
Class: Monk/elementalist.
Strengths: Support class, able to deal damage
Weakness: Not so good at taking damage, Once ki/magic is drained damage goes way down. Lightly armored, even more lightly armed.
Weapon(s):
    Ward Cestus
     Twin Meteor hammers

A brief Personality description:
Independent and bold, She tends to try and do things on her own. Thinking the best strength is the one she already has. She however started playing because it was the only place she knew she could possess some serious strength. She has trouble trusting people in general. Aka Tends to be aloof and manipulating.

Why she plays ( little about her past): She plays to get away from reality, adopted by a father she does not understand and is rarely ever there. She immerses herself to get away from reality, To be something she could never be in Real life.

Fighting style: Her style is more support class, lacking in the HP and defense. Her cestus gives her a keen punch, when she needs damage in a pinch will imbue her strikes with elemental force. Preferring Thunder damage because she likes the way it crackles and sounds.
   However when her HP is low she will either grapple and restrict with her meteor hammers. Or use the range of her meteor hammer to do damage. However these strikes have force, she cannot imbue them with elemental force (due to class restrictions and being way to Over Powered). Despite these short comings she will almost always go out adventuring alone to "test her metal".

Non-combative Job:
   Alchemist
   Herbalist

Notes: Volunteers for bad ending, Does not play As main character. Character is better for creating drama and flushing out story line and character development.
