Now I know what most of you are thinking. "Oh look. Another SAO RP interest thread thing. As if that hasn't been posted before." To that I say, "Yeah..you're right." I have seen a large number of SAO themed RPs pop up around this site and some of them end up taking off...but too many times I've watched them tank or not even get started. I would know because I was a part of one that didn't even get past the Town of Beginnings portion. If you did click on this thread then you obviously enjoyed the show and would like to participate in a good SAO style RP. Or..you were just curious about what the title was about. If you are part of the latter...welcome! Now go watch the show! Now I was rather hesitant to try and start this up but I kind of made a last minute decision on the idea of, "What could happen?" So, here goes. I am going to try and start up an SAO RP but I am going to implement a few changes into the theme a bit. For starters, this RP will not be taking place in the actual Sword Art Online game. But, it will take place in ALFheim Online a few months after the end of Season 2. Or..well the last episode we have. I know it's kind of split on which game is better than the other but personally I prefer ALFheim. It has more races and MAGIC. So yeah. This RP will have a definite plot. I'll just post a short version here and let it actually develop in the actual RP. The plot is based around strange occurrences happening in the ALFheim game. It all started with a noticeable glitch in the Cardinal System that runs the game. The glitch seemed to cause no problems and the engineering team was able to remedy the problem fairly quickly with the game only being down for two to three hours of scheduled maintenance. Weeks passed after this glitch happened and small reports started to come up that a few people who were using the new Amusphere to play ALFheim were not waking up after they logged out. These individuals who were reported in were taken to the nearest hospital and it was there they discovered these patients weren't dead. They were simply stuck in a coma, with the Amusphere stuck in a permanent "On" state. One doctor reported that even when he pulled plug on the Amusphere the lights stayed on and it continued to operate. As if it had no battery life anymore. The numbers of patients stuck like this are very very low at the moment. Estimated about 100 players or so stuck like this. But that's not the end. Friends of these players would report seeing their old avatars around various locations where they spent most of their time. Such as, dungeon planning spots, player homes, Guild bases. But their avatars seemed bland and as if they didn't remember anything. No one is sure why these things are happening to players. But that hasn't stopped the millions from playing the game on a daily basis. --- And basically it will be up to our characters to figure out what is going on! Like I said, that is the short version. Since this is just an IC I won't post any Character Sheets or anything until I have a few players interested in doing this. Please comment below or PM me if you are interested. Also, post your questions or comments or anything! Thank you for stopping by if you did :D --------------------------Edit---------------------- Addition of Character Sheets Name: (IRL name) In game name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Race: ( Race List: http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Races_of_ALfheim_Online ) Weapon of Choice: Magic Spells: (Only if you want to use Magic) Personality: Skills: (Since all of the skills basically carry over ((and I couldn't find a ALFheim skills list but shhhh)) here is the SAO skills list: http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Skills ) I'd say choose..five. We are going to be in the mid teen or early twenty range for levels. ------------ Accepted characters: Tora - Hebigami Shiho Fuyuko - Lennon79 (Unfinished though?) Kite - GrandzHelios Alex - LordSanta --No longer Accepting Characters-- [hider=My Character] My App: Name: Rhett James In game Name: Arina Age: 20 Gender: Male Race: Cait Sith SO WHEN I WAS MAKING MY APP MY COMPUTER WAS ALL, "NOPE. LOSE ALL YOUR PROGRESS. I LOST MY PICTURE SO NOW I'M ANGRY BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO FIND. SO I QUIT AND RESORTED TO USING A PICTURE FROM MY PROFILE PICTURE BUT WHO CARES. CAUSE YOLO. Also..kind of copied Lennon here..don't hurt me! I just saw too much sausage coming up so.. reasons. Appearance: [img]http://i.imgur.com/sh0gxiR.jpg[/img] Except in game his avatar won't actually have the same armor set up..obviously. Ariva's armor is a solid white all around and allows for quick movement. Also that picture doesn't have cat ears or a tail, but I'm sure we can just...imagine them there. Weapon of Choice: Bow and Arrow Personality: Rhett has been playing MMOs for as long as he can remember. Or..well when they actually became popular and available to him. When he found out about ALFheim online he was all over it. He created his female avatar because he is not one to care about what others think if they found he he was really a guy. All it is about is having fun in the game. It's not like he is going to meet the girl of his dreams playing a VRMMO right? So no reason to worry. That being said, he is one to really delve into character as soon as he logs in. He will only go by his name and really try his best to play the part. He made his character as a DPS and he takes pride in knowing the massive amounts of damage he can cause to bosses and enemies. He always prefers to fight with others and will always try to party up. He loves parties and having fun but he can get serious when it comes to dungeon raids and bosses. When in combat he prefers to keep quiet. But out of combat he is rather talkative.
