.hack//Amalgamation
Preface
An amalgamation by definition is "the action, process, or result of combining or uniting."
The World has been an open MMO for many years. During this time the game has had many viruses turned loose into it. Many updates. Data becomes distorted and changed.
Perhaps this is an accident of the system. Perhaps it was planned from the start.
"In a recent announcement today, Altimit finally talked about The World and why it went down. For a several weeks, the game was not accessible and Altimit said they were investigating why. They explained that they lost all the information on the servers from hacking that they could not stop, and all current character information was deleted. After a few weeks, the game popped back up with a different launcher. The game is now displaying "The World: Amalgamation of Aincrad". We have testing this game out and found out that the game has been inserted into a mirrored version of Aincrad and its Cardinal System. We advise people to steer clear of this game, considering SAO's darker past."

Mechanics
In this version of the world, characters who reach 0-HP fall unconscious. Subsequently, their avatars are deleted and a "shadow" version of them is created in the system. These "shadow avatars" as they are called are always hostile to Player Characters and seem to have no indications of being conscious players. They can be seen leveling up and behaving as Player Characters but show no emotion or reason outside of base programing.
Players who lost avatars in the system can play again but they usually must recreate an avatar to rejoin the world again. Many people have stopped playing The World completely after a few times due to possible brain damage which in often cases causes them to have psychosis.
Character builds tend to be based on Physical Attacks like Sword Skills, but the magic and abilities are based on DotHack, with the exception of any revival items.
Unique skills are in the game. And Unique Sword Skills can be created within the game, but are always Unique to the character who created it and can only be created once. Unique Sword Skills can be created at any time, but once you do, its permanent to your character.
Player Response
Players still play the game, albeit cautiously. The risks are known by anyone who plays in The World. Several people believe this is The World becoming sentient, trying to evolve into something different. Others believe that if you can play the game long enough and get into it far enough, that perhaps real hackers will be exposed as the reason this is happening.
-----
Eventually, this will take a turn and characters will be trapped within the game and possibly with the ability to be killed in real life if their health drops to zero.
Things are subject to be edited if necessary.
-----
Character Sheet Base (These are things you must have)
Character's Player Name
Class Build (Try to stick to a build that would fit the lore)
Age
Non-Battle Skills (They all start at 15, and max out at 1000. They take a very long time to level out)
Skills and Abilities in Battle (Try to keep track.)
Items (Try to keep track of these too)
Personality
Physical Description

What I am looking for:
About 4 people to play 4 primary characters. Secondary characters may be created and used for a little back story and having characters to occasionally help out and back up the main party. I am hoping to have the main characters as 2 males and 2 females.
I require 2-5 paragraphs, and players who are interested with contributing to the story. At least a post a day, to try to keep the flow of the roleplay going.
---------------
Feel free to ask any questions in the OOC or my PMs.
Post a link to your Character Sheet, and I will see if I am cool with it or not. If I am, I will then ask for a sample of your rp style. Please don't get mad if I reject your application. I just have a certain way to roleplay, or I lose interest quick.
