Digitalization: World Next

[Metal Zeta]

IC

It all started one day with a game. A popular online game known as "World Next". An interesting game, one where the game was controlled with your body, and your appearance in game was the same as your real life appearance, not counting whatever armor a person was wearing in game. Another notable fact of the game was it's ability to "scan" objects, and use it as the basis of in game weapons and armor. Scan a game in which the character has some sort of gun that shot lighting , you would able to receive a weapon with the same basis in game. Due to this, and being a genuine fun game, the game was soon huge, played by many different people.

However, to a few,select people, the game was...different. More like...it wasn't a game, but instead another world. Not so much show that they grew concerned over it, but they happened to be the best players the game had. So, when there was a game wide tournament, pitching players against players, is it any surprise that these were the winners?

As a reward for winning, these players were invited to come to the headquarters of the makers of the game, to see some behind the scenes things, and even be given a gift, through that gift was of course a secret.

But when they arrive, they'll learn that it's more than a mere game. And that their feelings were correct. Each time they played, they won't going to the same virtual world as everybody else.

They were going to a far more dangerous one.

It's (mostly) an arena based PVP game, with a quasi-futuristic setting. Games are 1-on-1, team based, with teams ranging from 6 man teams to 24 man teams, or large scale "every one for their self" battles.

As said, the game is controlled via a person's body, via a specialized headset which lets a person's thought control their character, in a way that is as natural as moving.

World Next is an online PVP game, with a quasi-futuristic setting. AS said before, the game is controlled using a person's own body. This is done via a special headset, allowing a person to move their character's body like they would move thier own. There are 3 modes of play in World next

1 vs. 1

A simple person against person match, often with a number of people watching a fight. By far the most popular game mode

Team Battle
Same as above, but with fr more people. Team size ranges from 6 man team, to 24 man team

War
A large scale battle, ever man for himself. Up to 100 players can enter at once, and by far the game's bggest source of action.


Scanning
Another notable fact of the game was it's ability to "scan" objects, and use it as the basis of in game weapons and armor.

A bit more of an explanation on this, using an example.

A person can scan up to 3 threes, one for armor, for a main weapon, and one for a sub weapon.

For example, let's say someone scanned a ring with a ruby in it. That person's armor would be golden, with ruby details. How EXACTLY it would look, would be up to the owner, of course.

If a person scanned a sword of somekind, even if it was a real one somehow, or a cheap toy one, that would get a sword in the game. Or, if they scanned, say a pen...they would get a pen. Now, just what exactly that pen or sword did, would be up to the owner.

Now, the game does autobalance objects. So if a person scanned, say, a manga panel with some sort of earth destroying weapon, they would get something that acted like it did...but nowhere near as strong

Although this is out of her control or involuntary she enjoys the feeling on on upping on someone or sarcasm. Irregardless to this fact she does has endearing feelings to everyone she knows and tries to control this trigger. She's kind none the less more introverted than extroverted. She likes staying out of the picture but makes it up for it by thinking the big picture.
History:Aurezn has always been teh rich snobby girl everyone dispises and wants to be. Although this has been the tittle all her life she wishes to change and she wants it in a big way. Too many know her as the daughter and heir to Jerome Multiplx, the name you'll never know. When she read a newspaper one day she was introduce to World Next, teh world pvp game. She found it enlightening and started gathering things. She'd hope this will end well.

Considering it appears it appears to be a WiP, i won't say it's "accepted" just yet, but looks okay so far!

I'll wait ntill a few more people make their characters before writing up mine. Don't want the effort to go to waste if nobody else actually joins

Is there any effective way youd be willing to let me use a cannon type weapon.

[Jack Rinner]

Name: Jack Emris

Age: 22

Appearance:


Personality: TBA in game

History: Jack was in an accident at age 17. He was driving his motorcycle going over 200mph. Hitting a slippery part on the road, Jack slipped, tumbled, and scraped the road beneath him for an entire mile before finally slamming into a parked car. Jack lost both his legs and his right arm in the process.

Years of physical recooperation and a hefty sum of money from his wealthy step father enabled Jack to get the latest in bionic prosthetics. Never being able to fully walk or run like he used to. He looked for some way to escape his reality. That was when he turned to Gaming. In the virtual world, he could do anything he wanted, be anybody! He took on the Alias "Rinn" which was the Company in which his step father owned. "Rinncorp, where people can achieve their dreams." Was the company motto. Suitable, since he was living in a nightmare called reality.

Other:

the VR set used by Jack to enter "World Next". Fully upgraded and completely voice operated.

In-game Character Sheet

In-game Name: Rinn

In-game appearance:

aka "the Wingsuit" modeled after his own fake limbs. The suit uses mechanical arms and legs instead of armor for actual flesh and blood. The servo-joints are comprised of a mixture of alloys that make them light and durable. This suit makes him very fast and extremely agile. Able to leap twice the height of a pro basketball star. The extreme speed and agility is balanced out by the lack of actual armor. Protecting the Prosthetics from small arms fire but high caliber ammo and explosives prove to be deadly.

In-game Weapons:

both fire .357 caliber "hi-power" Iridium jacket rounds. Extremely accurate and can penetrate the thickest steel. Not making the biggest hole, but definately good for critical points and weak spots.

Scanned Objects: his prosthetic arm and legs, his fathers antique pistols

Extra: Jack was highly known for his extremely fast reflexes, and quick thinking. He scored top 5 in the last tournament.

Rinn's Wingsuit has a Advanced mobility function in the leg servos. Increasing output and over stabilizing the balance sensors allow Rinn to travel at great speeds out of combat. There is also a cooldown time between uses and a ten second delay before he can switch to combat mode again.

Now you gotta explain to me what you mean. You mean cannon as in....well, something that shoots cannonballs, or like an arm cannon?

For the first one, sure. All your character would need is a picture of one. For actual RP purposes, also possible, if you're willing to take a weapon that won't let your character move around as freely!


@Jack Rinner
Accepted! Like your character, as well!

[Jack Rinner]

Thanks

[makiaka]

kinda like those cannons. Shoot energy or weird rockets... kinda like a futuristic mage if you think about it they shoot and hit a lot of people or apply things like acid shots. Weakness's easily singled out and ahs trouble escaping. It's not on his arm btw his arms rapped around it.

[Metal Zeta]

Oh, that seems fine Yeah, go ahead and give your character one.

In-game Character Sheet
In-game Name: Akira from Akihiko Imamura
In-game appearance:

A high defense armor that gives a magnificent HP boost to its user and comes with the ultimate skill: Brahmastra: O Brahma, Wrap the Earth in Scorching Wonder,when activated Akira's dexterity stats switch with his defense stats and his body becomes surrounded with dark crimson flame that reflects the damage back upon the attacker with a chance to burn. However because his dexterity becomes so low his attack speed and movement speed drops making it imposible for him to move or attack as long as his ultimate is up. Once the timer is up his armor looses all of its passive abilities and his stats return to normal with the exception of his HP which remains at its base level prior to any buffs.

In-game Weapons:The Blessing of Suryra:Holy Sun God's Supreme Defense

and

The Blessing of Suryra: Sun God's Divine Blade: Akira can fold the wings on his back in order to form a longsword that has access to fire attacks.

Scanned Objects: When scanning objects for World Next Akihio unwittingly put his Uncles copy of the Mahabharata in the scanning device instead of his favorite battle manga. The book was opened at the point of Karna's successful military campaign against the Pandavas. The Scanner also mix Karna's divine atributes with Akihiko's appearance to produce his in game model. It barely looks like him outside of the small frame and spiked hair.

Extra: To make up for his Scanned Object and Weapons, Akira has a moderate start up for any of his skills(with the exception of his ultimate) and a long cool down in which he is extremely vulnerable, this is dangerous considering his low HP and low defense.
