Premise

The story starts from the premise that Kayaba Akihiko was obsessed with magic and Norse Mythology rather than swords and pure melee. As a result, he created the Death Game of Alfheim Online rather than the floating castle of Aincrad—a world in which player-killing is not a crime, and the nine player races are in competition with each other to reach the top of the World Tree. This is an alternate universe which may or may not follow canon rules from either SAO or the original Alfheim Online. Key differences from typical SAO roleplays would be the removal of levels, inclusion of magic, races and double the inital playerbase (20,000 players). Similar to SAO, the goal is to aim for the top. Only by completing the Grand Quest can players unlock limitless flight; the sole way to reach the top of Yggdrasil and escape back into the real world.

Both of Izaka's characters are accepted. Valeria is freaking huge though, imagine if she was a Gnome and her build was further enlarged.

Btw, as I mentioned in the IntChk, the current affairs of the world hasn't yet been determined. Does anyone have any suggestions of how things should be? Otherwise I will be taking the route of the fanfic in which the Salamanders killed the Faction Leader of the Imps granting them control over their zones.

I wanted to make a beastmaster character because I figured no one else would.

;-;

EDIT:

What choices are we limited too in terms of pets? I totally forgot to ask because it wasn't a section on the character sheet.

HI! This looks really interesting, but I'm a little confused as far as how you're determining the characters proficiency in flight and skills? Plus could I make a character that's like a mercenary? Where I can work for other races in their lands safely? Or relatively safe?

It seems you haven't seen the show or read the books. Though knowledge of those isn't really necessary.

Regarding stats, stuff like AGI and whatnot can only be altered by racial stats + equipment. You don't get to level up and add them. However, masteries will exist, and these are trained through repetition and use. Have you ever played Runescape or read novels like Moonlight Sculptor? Sorta like that.

Player skill here is more important. If you've played Counterstrike, then you understand having a better gun or armour gives you a huge edge but you can still die to that guy with the pistol.

I've watched the show, love it btw lol, I just didn't pay attention to the mechanics of the game they were it, or never noticed there were any other than Kirito being way too OP XD lol.

I guess a better way to word the question would be this. So we start the RP and we're all just pretty low in skill right? So as the RP progresses how are we determining how much our skills increase? Like we fight a boss and kill it, loot drops, are you going to determine who gets the loot and therefore the increase of stats? Or is that something we players can do as long as it's not like "OMG just killed a boss, get final hit, take epic loots now my character has +99999 of all stats?" lol

Well the RP will begin with a month time skip so all our character's should have already started specializing in whatever they wanted to. What you've been doing this month, I'll leave it up to you. As for all the stats and what not, there isn't really a need to be too specific but it's allowed. I personally do not want this to turn into the mayhem some roleplays based on stats experience.

I understand this turns some people off because they like specifics hence I'm allowing you guys to give X levels to your masteries and these will in turn be used as benchmarks.

Also I guess I didn't mention this one so it's my fault, stronger sword skills and magic will unlock through use of lower level ones.

Height: 167.64 centimeters
Weight: 67.29 kilograms
RLN: Ryuu Kayaza
IGN: Agni Ormr
Age: 17
Race: Cait Sith
History: Ryuu grew up in a rough neighborhood, constantly bullied and made fun of the boy shrunk away from the world and went to online games to escape his hell that he lived through everyday. When the NerveGear came out, the boy found a way to truly escape his hell of a life. Upon the discovery of being trapped in this virtual world until they either died (in which case they died in real life) or the main quest was beaten, Ryuu (now known as Agni) began to grind to become stronger. His thoughts lay in the ideal that if he was stronger, then he would survive longer. About 3 weeks after being trapped Agni went with a group of fellow high leveled Cait Sith on a mission to tame a large dragon as a way of proving they could. The mission ended up being a success, with the leader of the group becoming the new owner of the Dragon who was dubbed 'Shriekr' for her high pitched and piercing roar. However this victory came at a great cost, as only 2 (including Agni) returned from the original group of 15. During a later fight (about 2 days before the rp starts) with some salamanders, the beast tamer was struck down as he finished off the last of the salamander raiding group. In his dying moments the man called Agni over and transferred ownership of Shriekr to his son. So now the boy goes onward in the quest, remembering the promise he made that knight as he watched his father slip into death 'I promise you, I will escape this hell and lead a better life in the world than we had, Dad. Shriekr will stand by my side and help me stand firm at the end of this hell. I love you... Rest in Peace'.
Personality:
* Friendly
* Loyal
* Intelligent
* Romantic (He just wants to find somebody to love, and be in a relationship in general)
* Highly protective of his friends
* Respectful
Character Build:
* Beastkin Communication
* Familiar Communication
* Familiar Recovery and Taming
* Voluntary Flight Proficiency
* Wall Running
* Multi-Weapon Proficiency (He has a Bow and Dagger)
* Low Level Healing Magic (He is trying to grind it high enough to save Remain Lights of others)


Note: Ignore size in image, this is what she looks like. She is smaller.
274.32 centimeters Tall.
579.12 centimeters Long.
777.24 centimeter Wingspan.

Black Dragon Level 20 'Shriekr'
Cait Riders Level 8

Pet Skills:
* Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Teeth)
* Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Talons)
* Primitive Weapon Proficiency (Tail)
* Fire Resistance [Low Level]

Pet Abilities:
* Fire Breathing [Low Level]
* Armor of Scales (Able to use their body and high defense value to shield player.)
* Voluntary Flight (She has wings)
* Battle Panic (Master loses control if HP is under 30%)

Pet Purpose: A high stamina, high damage resistance pet capable of providing a deadly threat and therefore also an excellent distraction. Her scales are resistant to most physical attacks and fire magic but it also a severe weakness to all other kinds of magic, and attacks placed at the weak points in her armor. She is capable of flight thanks to her wings, however with her wings extended it opens up a massive hit box for critical damage to the dragon.

Obviously this is her when armored, I’ll add an unarmored picture once she first takes off her helm. Keeps a nice sense of mystery, eh?




Height: 192 cm

Weight: 86 kg

RLN: Sarah Jameson

GN: Sonia

Age: 21

Race: Gnome

History: There really isn’t much to say, after becoming trapped within the game Sonia went straight to monster hunting. Her goal was to build some combat skills quickly as possible; matters were only going to get worse and she wanted the skills to defend herself. Currently she is working alone, and often times takes low risk hunting trips out of town. More recently Sonia picked up mining seeing as a Gnome she has a racial advantage in learning it, and ore does make for a nice extra source of income.

Personality: If you were to ask her Sonia would say she's "Like everyone else." Now what's more notable about her is Sonia likes to take measured risks, meaning she won't go charging into a dangerous situation, after all her actual life is on the line, but she wouldn't likely run from them either. For the most part she likes her privacy, and being a freelancer suits her just fine.

Character Build: The main idea is a defensive build with a little bit of offense.
As for the actual skills...



Proficient in Swords (One Handed)
Proficient in Shields
Proficient in Heavy Armor
Basic in Mining
Basic in Battle Healing



Other: No idea what actual levels these skills would be, so hope this works.
