Sword Art Online, the newest game for the Nerve Gear, brining a whole new depth into the gaming world, and you managed to obtain a copy for your own enjoyment. Sadly though, not everything worked out as you had expected. After playing the game for a mere hour, you found that you had been forced via teleportation back into the Town of Beginnings main plaza, where the creator of the game, for one reason or another, explained that you would be trapped here, in sword art online, till you managed to beat the game...which would mean conquering all 100 floors of the game, he also gave you a little present, making it so everyone's avatar, looked just like them in real life, though the hair colour seemed to remain the same as your personalized avatar had before.

Living in a game till you beat a game. A gamer's dream come true, right?

---

You will be a part of the guild known as "The Pheonix" A small guild which will be just starting off at the kick off of the events, it will be few in number, but great in purpose, as they will be a guild that will take on the front lines. Using the imagery of a Pheonix rising from dust, the GM of the guild is hoping to move from the dust and horrors of this digital world, and break free to the real world, making a path for everyone else.

The rp will not deal with most canon characters or guilds, and will certainly have some different twists and turns. The name of the creator is still Akihiko Kayaba, and we will start on the same floor, and deal with the same first boss (thanks to the intell the beta testers had gathered) but after that, I will randomly generate a floor theme and boss for it. Feel free to create or mention other guilds and ideas, and what they are doing during the course of our adventures, but your main character must be a part of The Phoenix.

The Pheonix has no specific colours or type of armor, just the pattern of a burning wing. which can be any colour, or on any spot, (like how laughing coffin has their coffin face thing, except more noticeable, since we are a 'good' guild.)

Weapon types can evolve as the story progresses. As opposed to SAO which just had Kirito and Heathcliff using unique styles, based on your character and how they act / there preferences, they can 'unlock' new fighting styles down the road. Some via quests, or other conditions which shall be made known later.

Every weapon is a sword, even an axe is a sword. Everyone will start off with a basic sword though. I will have a sword tree, so your character will have to take a route to become what you envision. Starting weapons will be heavy short sword, short sword, thin short sword.

Reserve please ^.^

Still need to finish that Drawing of him...


Hopefully start this up by Thursday or so depending on how many we have.

Username: Hyperion
Appearance: He appears to be a medium size, white male. He is about 5'8" with obsidian black hair that goes down to his shoulders. His Armour covers his chest and his forearms. There colors are black with a red trim to help hide himself during a exploration.
Current Weapon: Heavy Short Sword
Favorite Attributes: Strength and Luck.
Weapon styles unlocked: One handed Sword fighting
Real Age: 19
Real Name: Kyle
Gender: Male
Personality: Hyperion is a very aggressive person towards people not in the guild, but to those in it he is a very out going person.
Other: Hyperion was a beta tester, but instead of trying to get up as far as he could he stayed closer to the lower levels and to find all the cool hidden things that were put into the game. He wants to eventually open up a shop of his very own to sell all the things he has found (and stolen)

reserve please

Finished CS

Username: Aura

Appearance:


Current Weapon: Thin Short Sword.

Favorite Attributes:Strength and Spirit

Weapon styles unlocked: Basic One Handed Sword (Hoping to eventually unlock Dual Blades)

Real Age: 17

Real Name: Aurora Duchannes

Gender: Female

Personality: Aura has never been afraid to speak her mind for fear of hurting someone’s feelings and she isn't above tossing a snarky remark or two when the situation calls for it. The majority of her repertoire consists of sarcastic comments accompanied by a sardonic smirk or raising of an eyebrow. The occasional kind comment is thrown in there for variety, nothing more. The girl has often been called cold and emotionless. This is mostly untrue. Aura has extremely selective empathy, being that she cannot bring herself to understand the ridiculous reasons which cause a great deal of upset and alarm to most people. Crying at the drop of a hat is simply annoying and a waste of the human body’s functions. Tear glands exist for the purpose of keeping one’s eyes moist to prevent them drying out, not to stream torrents of water down one’s face because of a boy’s rejection. A firm believer of independence, she absolutely loathes damsels in distress. She’s quite determined and headstrong when it comes to accomplishing tasks.
Despite all appearances, Aura isn’t the most socially apt person around. She wouldn’t mind making friends if only she could stand most people for more than 10 minutes at a time. It usually takes a great deal for her to take a liking towards someone and even when she does, she has little to no idea how to go about showing it.

Other: Was a Beta Tester and made it to floor 4. Wants to be a Beast Tamer more than anything. As a dancer, when not using skills during battle, Aura's moves are fluid and smooth. She often spins, jumps, cartwheels and such to dodge. Her attacks are always connected and transition into the next. To a smart fighter, this can make her predictable. To other weaker fighters, she is a tough opponent.

Reserve, pl0x.

Edit: CS done.

Username: Exile

Appearance: Exile stands at 5'10" and has a lanky, but not unfit, build. He has medium-length dark brown hair and green eyes, and generally wears light chest armor. His clothes are primarily dark grey with red details.

Current Weapon: Balanced Short Sword.

Favorite Attributes: Spirit and dexterity.

Weapon styles unlocked: One-handed sword fighting.

Real Age: 17

Real Name: Jacob Taylor

Gender: Male

Personality: Jacob tends to be a somewhat loud and verbose person, and it can rub people the wrong way. He tends to come off as being mean, but he really is just way too blunt and direct about things. In truth, he's a good person, and anyone who knows him knows that he's a much better friend than he may seem. He's the sort of person who tries to defend his friends and loved ones, and sometimes just a stranger in desperate need of help.

Other: Jacob heard about the game from a friend who was a beta tester, so he knows a couple of tricks, but he has never had hands-on experience until the full release of SAO. He has also taken Jiu-Jitsu outside of gaming, so he knows his way around actual hand to hand combat, but given that the game is all about swords, who knows how much good that will do.

CS posted above

i like the characters here so far ^^

So do I. All accepted. We shall give it another day for Sketcher and/or another person to show up, and then I will post the first IC.

Would it be okay if I made a character?

By all means, go right on ahead, we had space for one more to make six, and another spot might open up if the other guy doesn't post by tomorrow.

Okay cool, I'll get working on it now.

It appears I won't have time for this... Sorry :(

Man, we don't have anyone who takes a liking to intelligence yet.

Alright, thanks for letting us know Sketcher, maybe next time.

And welcome aboard Whoami, your character is accepted.

I do love how things like that work out all the time, with one person mentioning a lack of a type of character and then the next person fulfills that role.

Just waiting on DaDrummer now. I will post the first ic post tomorrow.
We are also no longer accepting characters at the moment unless one of you drops off. In which case I kill your character =)

yay theres another girl! Love the CS @Woahmi
