.Hack RP OOC~

Still Accepting!

IC: http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...67#post8778467

HEY! YOU! PEOPLE IN THIS RP! We have a 2-post rule, wait until at least 2 people post between your own, alright? Thanks. :3

It's going to be a pretty basic setting, non-canon in the .Hack universe in The World R:2 with everyone being average everyday people playing the game. just a few out of the millions. Won't be any big heroic deeds, such major problems as the anime ensued it's characters, but some lesser things than the major plot of .Hack are still intact, such as people selling in-game items for real life funds, player killers, and shifty guilds that are at war with each other, leaving those poor Grunties to die a horrible death, and other shady things you can probably imagine for yourself. It's meant to be for fun, it's free-roam and can have serious or romancing elements, as well as some minor language. Just don't go cursing every other sentence and we should be perfectly fine.

So you can pretty much do what you want. Explore fields with a party, try and make The World a better place by trying to help with the shady dealings and Player Killers. Or do an event, when they come up. There might even be a rare item in it for you, and who doesn't like adding a precious item to their collection? The characters of The World aren't only for me to decide, these Player Killers and Shady Dealers could be anyone and anywhere! Make your own story when you feel like it, it's for all of us, after all.

I'd like everyone be just starting and within the range of level 1 to level 5. Also hoping people can do decent level pacing and not level up too often, I will help judge when I feel people have put enough effort into fighting monsters to go up a level.

At least for now, I have no plans for people to be any sort of moderator or admin in The World, sorry if this disappoints you. I may allow it in the future, though. The rest of the information is below.

Δ Delta Server, with Root Town Mac Anu: A rather large city that contains many @HOMES, There is an Alchemy District and Mercenary District, along with the Merchant's Quarters and the Medic Union faction made by the Tu Tribe. Mac Anu had the largest amount of Player Killers and is also the main server where transfers of items and real money are done. This server's level range is 1 to 50.

Θ Theta Server, with Root Town Dol Dona: A root-town more ran by the beast races of The World, it's green and lush, and full of life. This can be considered the most peaceful server if you are a beast, if not, then you might not be welcomed warmly. Level range is 50 to 100.

Ω Omega Server, with Root Town Lumina Cloth: A well-lit city where it always seems to be nighttime. Having no fields, the only PKing that can occur in Lumina Cloth is in the Arena. Since it houses the Arena, Lumina Cloth is frequented by players of all levels, and is an ideal place to obtain rare items through trade. Players of all levels are allowed here.

Σ Sigma Server, with Root Town Breg Epona: A city in the sky, Breg Epona's chaos gate allows players to travel to fields and dungeons with the highest leveled monsters in the game. Level range is 100 to 150.

Class List; I will include information you have to know, such as armor and weapon type for each class. Read up in the link below for details.

Adept Rogue: Able to adapt to any sort of weapon or armor, but in the beginning is stuck with a weapon and armor type of his/her choice. It isn't until farther in do you unlock the Job Extension quest(Level 25) to be able to use other weapon and armor types.

Blade Brandier: Uses the medium armor type and double-edged swords.

Edge Punisher: Uses the heavy armor type and large two-handed swords.

Flick Reaper: Uses the light armor type and lengthy sickles and scythes to keep enemies away.

Harvest Cleric: Uses the light armor type and staffs, focused on healing magic.

Lord Partizan: Uses the heavy armor type and spears/tridents.

Macabre Dancer: Uses the light armor type and fans as weapons, as well as learning status and healing spells earlier than other classes.

Shadow Warlock: Uses the light armor type and Grimoires' as their attack weapons, very weak physicaly, it is a magic class.

Steam Gunner: Uses the medium armor type and bayonets that run on steam for long-ranged physical attacks.

Tribal Grappler: Uses the light armor type and various gauntlets and gloves for hand-to-hand combat.

Twin Blade: Uses the light armor type and dual daggers for quick striking.

^ Information on each class, scroll down to The World R:2 for the correct list of classes. There are no limits to the classes, but I do ask that you guys try and spread it out a little, we don't need a bunch of Adept Rouges running around. And I'm leaving out the Dual Gunner, apologies if that disappoints you, but they are really too powerful and they also aren't a class that can be normally selected by players anyways.

Humans: "They are an ancient race said to be the true descendants of the elves. Many humans have a tendency to look down on the beast tribe because of their primitive way of thinking and technology. The animosity between the two races has caused strife in the past. All humans have very average abilities (parameters) and are capable of doing just about anything. They are highly adaptable and able to handle all kinds of obstacles that come to them."

Beasts:"Beasts are a race of creatures with the body of a human, and the head and tail of an animal. They place a high value on the technology and culture from ancient times, and tend to resist innovations. As a result, steam technology has yet to spread in their cities. Beasts are separated into three tribes that are differentiated by their appearances and abilities (parameters). Although beasts possess amazing abilities and skills in some areas, they are also often extremely vulnerable in others. They pose fierce united fronts with their tribe to overcome these vulnerabilities."

The Beast race has three tribes: Ya Tribe
"Beasts of the Ya Tribe have fairly large bodies.Although they have bodies of steel that are capable of resisting physical damage, they have limited understanding of magic and are very vulnerable against magic attacks."
Ya Tribe Beasts (ガ族) appear large and intimidating, boasting high strength and defense. However, they have low magic defense and attack stats. Their name comes from the Chinese word for "fang" (牙).

Lei Tribe
"Beasts of Lei Tribe possess bodies that are similar in proportion to humans and have the quickest reflexes and speed. They have average physical and magical abilities similar to humans, but are slightly less resilient."
Lei Tribe Beasts (ライ族) - Although Lei Tribe Beasts usually have the size and shape of human characters, they tend to have canine or feline appearances. Lei Tribe Beasts have high speed and agility, but poor defense.

Tu Tribe
"Beasts of the Tu Tribe are smaller than the others. They are highly sensitive and possess great magical abilities and wisdom, but their bodies are much more fragile and they pose almost no resistance to physical attack."
Tu Tribe Beasts (ウ族) are small animals in appearance. They have limited defense and strength attributes, however, their magic attack and defense are are very high. All members of Medic Union use this race. Their name comes from the Chinese word for "hare" (兎).

If your interested, here's a CS to fill out! I'm willing to start when we have at least three people that are interested, so we can at least have a small group of four. I'm allowing ten players, counting myself, to be in this RP. It is reasonable here because it is easy to put characters out if someone leaves giving this is all online and internet related, it could be real life issues that caused them not to come back. Feel free to use anime pictures, giving this is is the graphical style of The World anyways.

Also, please put your Level here, 1 to 5 to start off, but I may allow higher if you'd be too low to be with other players in the future.

After all of that, all that is left is a few simple rules.

1. No god-modding, we all get hit sometimes, and even at points we get defeated.
2. Player Killing is allowed, but only if both players agree to conflict. I don't want anyone getting picked on extremely.
3. This is a game, therefor you have to save. If you don't save and you log off the world, you will lose the items, money, and experience you gained during that session.
4. Please write at least one paragraph per post, I would like something with at least some quality and is half-decent to read.

And that's it, anyone that is interested, step on up and say so

AquaInfinity: Level 2

Astrid Striker: Level 4

Lionheart: Level 1

Kurama: Level 3

Death: Level 1

Java: Level 1

Sparrow: Level 3

Kagari: Level 1

Name: Emily Bishop

In-Game Name: AquaInfinity

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance(Real life):

Appearance(The World):

Personality: Overall a nice gal, and considerably hyper, Emily just looks for the fun in everything, and wants nothing more than to have fun in The World. Although she doesn't take kindly to people insulting her rabbit-like appearance, she can mostly shrug it off up until she is called something cliche such as 'Short-Stack'.

Short bio: Emily has lived in an apartment with her father for the last 3 years, her mother is a travelling business woman that is hardly ever home. Herfather is quite protective and didn't let Emily out much unless he was around, and that gave Emily the objective of finding another way to socialize with people. The World seemed like a good option, after a little bit of begging, she managed to get her hands on her own copy and is now exploring as a low-level character searching for an active party.

Class: Harvest Cleric

Race: Beast(Tu Tribe)

Weapon Type: Staff(Wooden)

Armor Type: Light(Robes)

Name: Kathy K. Rustler

In-Game Name: Astrid Striker

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance(Real life):

Appearance(The World):

Personality: Kathy is rather friendly to those who give her a reason to, but to others she can seem quite violent and hard-headed. She doesn't take to men flirting with her with respect but rather with her fists, inside and outside The World. She has a soft spot for the Grunties, though.

Short bio: Growing up the average life living in the middle-class, Kathy loved to punch things. And this often got her into trouble at school for fighting with other girls, and sometimes boys, and injuring them. She took to finding alternate ways to relieve her urges, and discovered The World. What better place to meet people and/or punch them? She thought this was a brilliant plan, and has been playing for a decent amount of time.

Class: Tribal Grappler

Race: Human

Starter Weapon Type: Gloves

Starter Armor Type: Light

Name: Charles Lyonnes

In-Game Name: Lionheart

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance(Real life):

Appearance(The World):

Personality: He tends to affect an air of almost total apathy and superiority, explaining things in the most condescending tones possible to anyone willing to listen, assuming that he, almost axiomatically, knows better than they do. In reality, however, he is quite good natured and will largely help people out where he can. He just won't be especially friendly about it. Besides being quite abrasive, he's introspective and analytical, though he does tend to overthink things somewhat, often being rather slow to act because of it. He takes very little in the real world seriously, let alone the game. He takes a great interest in the lore of The World, and various odd stories and the like from the forums.

Short Bio: He's a college student with too much time on his hands, basically. Not to mention a heavy dose of social awkwardness in the real world, which he finds much easier to overcome online. As such he quite naturally picked up the biggest game around, having heard plenty of his friends talking about it. Since then he has dabbled in various forms of play from basic PvE to player killing and simple information brokering. He still switches it up from time to time, just to keep his interest alive.

Class: Macabre Dancer

Race: Human

Starter Weapon Type: Fan

Starter Armor Type: Light

Name: Kevin Lee Thomas

Nickname: Lee (Prefers his middle name over his first)

In-Game Name: Kurama

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance(Real life):

Appearance(The World):

Personality: Tries to act cool and aloof, but with varying degrees of success. Sometimes it's genuinely cool or badass, and then sometimes he ends up making a complete fool of himself. Though in all honesty his personality seems to reflect the things that are happening around him. If the party is in a fight or being confronted by PK's or some such thing, he plays the serious and aloof card. But put him in a hang out spot in Root Town, an @Home, or even hang out with him in real life, and he becomes more fond of cracking jokes or making obscure pop culture references that no one will get more than anything else.

Short Bio: Lee grew up with annoying little brother named Kenny constantly following him everywhere. At that time, Lee was more genuinely serious-minded and aloof to the antics of his kid brother. Something he was always forced to do was take Kenny to the comic book store or even book store in order for him spend hard-earned allowances on Anime and Manga of all kinds. Lee himself didn't get the fascination, but he sat through many old DVD's with his brother, never understanding a single thing that was happening on screen, but at least pretending to understand and be interested. That was all before the accident. Normally, it was Lee's job to walk home with Kenny, but one afternoon he had detention. Rather than wait like he was supposed to, Kenny instead decided that since he knew the way he would go by himself. He took a shortcut through a construction site, where a girder came loose from a crane and dropped to the ground like a loud thunderclap. Kenny had tried to avoid it, but it crushed his legs and lower spinal column. He passed away in the hospital the next evening. That was five years ago. Since the accident, Lee kept the Anime collection for himself, and even started watching it on his own, as if doing so would somehow bring Kenny back. Before the accident, the brothers had spent a fair amount of time playing The World. Kenny had played a Lei Tribe Cleric and Lee a Human Blade Brandier. When Kenny died, Lee couldn't bring himself to log on with his old character, instead deleting so he could start from scratch. As if to honor his brother, he made a Lei Tribe Adept Rogue, choosing Blade Brandier and Harvester Cleric as the two weapon styles, and even named it after Kenny's favorite Anime character.

ame: Robert David Smith

In-Game Name: Death

Age:22

Gender:Male

Appearance(Real life):

Appearance(The World):

Bio: “Dave, Rob and Robby…STOP CALLING ME THAT”
Robert is a small business owner, and by business he inherited his parents coffee shop. He has one full time employee and two part timers and a ton of free time and no real bills as he lives in the loft atop the shop. He tried a few other hobbies before settling on trying the world or whatever people call it, but more so from an injury that is going to keep him locked down for a few months. So says his one full time employee and friend, though she is more or less a sister in behavior.

Personality: A rather serious person. He does little to cover up his inner thoughts and will more often than not simply tell someone to die if he cares little for them. Objective oriented he tends to set goals and work towards them with everything he has. An elitist in the sense he treats every failure with severe scrutiny but that also includes his own.

Personality: Level headed and strong willed. Not one to depend on others and likes very much to be the rock that people lean on.

Short bio: Started working at a coffee shop in her early teens, before long she had become an assistant manger, she enjoys her work. Now she more or less runs the shop since the new owner a close friend of hers, is more or less uninterested in it. She constantly takes care of its needs and even hires people from time to time,
On her time she normally draws or writes but lately this game one of her part timers will not stop talking about and many customers chat on the subject, so she picked up a copy.

Dan IRL



Dan in The World[/CENTER]

Name: Dan Woods

In-Game Name: Sparrow, though nicknamed "That Winged Troublemaker"

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance(Real life): [Picture Provided]

Appearance(The World): [Picture provided.]

Personality: Dan prefers to be called Sparrow at all times, even offline. He is very quiet, timid and easily frightened, but when he needs to he will defend close friends without question. Having wings allows him the freedom to leave any situation, so he's become a little anti-social.

Short bio: Dan lives a miserable life that previously was only relieved by bird watching. Dan was an orphan who was taken in by some rich folk, which gave him more than enough space to be alone for hours every day. When he was alone, he would bird watch or entertain himself instead of searching for others to play with. This lack of attention went on for ten years until he discovered The World. From that point forward, he did nothing but play in The World. He didn't care about leveling, he didn't care about getting cool items, all he wanted to do...was fly. He purchased himself a pair of usable wings in The World and finally found the freedom he had been searching for. With wings, he could go anywhere, fly from danger, and even hang out with in-game birds sometimes. He was free. But he still needed companionship, so he looked around for other people to hang out with. His life of anti-socialness and loneliness had given him very poor people skills, so naturally he can't make friends no matter how hard he tries. He now lives in various forest areas, just flying around and getting labelled as a trouble-maker.

Class: Twin Blade

Race: Human

Starter Weapon Type: A pair of small, low-quality daggers. He doesn't fight much.

Starter Armor Type: Any loose clothing he finds, usually just a loose tunic and some pants. Likes to be barefoot.

Name: Alicia Avery Arngard
In-Game Name: Kagari
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Personality: Alicia is generally a pretty calm, easygoing girl in real life. Her personal philosophy being that she “Shouldn’t interfere with things that don’t concern her.” Her online persona though is the complete opposite, highly social, and a risk taker, she figures that there’s no point in holding back online as there aren’t any ‘real’ consequences reflecting in both her physical and verbal actions. While she isn’t hot-headed enough to believe she’ll ever become the ‘very best.’ Her attitude in game is to climb as far as she can, making morals and friendships second to progress within The World. The approach she takes makes her a bit of an oddball as she finds PK’ing perfectly acceptable regardless of which side of the kill she’s on. “It’s all part of the game” after all.

Short bio: Alicia was always a curious child, poking her head in everyone’s business, her childhood was a bright happy one until the last few years of highschool where one of her closest friends were hospitalized after an attempted suicide. The cause was nothing other than a joke Alicia made which had been taken too seriously, and an incompletely unintentional manner. A rumor started up that Alicia had tried to bully-kill, and she was isolated for a few weeks, but rumors pass as quickly as they come in highschool and before long her surrounding were back to normal. She is pretty conscious about what she says now, but opted not to overly concern herself about how her behavior may affect other. The World was an escape from reality though where she could act and say as she pleased, and even if her words were to hurt someone, she doubted that any real consequence would come from it.

Class: Edge Punisher
Race: Human
Starter Weapon Type: Broad Demon (BroadSword)
Starter Armor Type: Brigandine (Heavy)

[Wolfbat9008]

I'm interested, but I haven't read nor watched .Hack since...ever. I don't know if I'd fit in. I have read a couple manga books with that kid named Hugo, and I've watched a few episodes of the original series. Would you have me anyway? If I get stuck, I can always just pull up the wiki. I'm mostly going to go around riding grunties and trying to "live in the wild" like some kind of technological tarzan. Either that, or I'll be a newbie looking to get into the game. XD

[Raddum]

Of course, Rocket Science Cat! You can be in this. Just put up a CS and we'll see where we go from there! <3
