Elysium
'It is ahead of its time. The fps is beyond anything of the past and the graphics are in a class of its own. It has revolutionized the way people game, and it will revolutionize the gaming industry.'

Elysium, the virtual reality game of the century and a game that will go down in infamy. Why you may ask? It took the media by storm and decimated the known gaming powerhouses. It gathered gamers of all platforms and united them under one game. A game that offered everything from RPG and Sci-fi to first person shooter and horror. There were over 50,000 beta testers working out the kinks in its three worlds; Genesis, Exodus and Elysium. It took decades before they announced its release and it soared off of the shelves just as quick as it was put on the shelves. However, a year into its release a group simply known as R3v314t1on, had hijacked the servers and massacred hundreds of thousands of players in Genesis' city, Killion, now know to all players as the Killion Genocide. Many tried to escape the game but sadly to no avail. Panic set across the multiplayer platform and plunged the game and its players into chaos. Areas that were considered safe from the changing PvP world were no longer and groups started to form, banning together for survival, others for greed and power. The game's developers had attempted to shutdown the game and eject everyone from it but the plan failed. "You lose. Servers taken. Pray for mercy: R3v314t1on" was the email sent to the creator and developers. The know dubbed terrorist group had taken those on the game hostage. Attempt after attempt of retrieving control of the servers failed and with each attempt tens of thousands were killed due to their persistence. A final idea was proposed from a hacker/beta tester of the game and the governments of the world gathered together and formed a special digital anti-terrorist group known as the Project: Savior. Made up of people of all ages, they were to be sent in to find this group with the help of former beta testers and hackers sanctioned by the government. In addition to the formed group, the creators of Elysium removed the level cap for the sanctioned players, allowing them to ascend to new heights in order to combat this evil group. The leader's true identity of R3v3l4t1on, "Glitch" is a mystery, hiding in secrecy with the help of its other members, possibly in Elysium. Will this group be the ones to save those trapped, or will they fall victim to the plans of Glitch and R3v314t1on?
Genesis, Sanctuary: Killion
Genesis was made to be a wasteland platform, allowing for old style RPGs that was similar to the Fallout saga, Rage and others like it. It offered decimated and abandoned cities like New York, San Francisco, London, and St. Petersburg to roam and monsters of all kinds to fight with missions to match. There were sanctuaries, floating oasis-like cities that were meant to get away from the wasteland, the most famous, or infamous being Sanctuary: Killion, or Killion for short. Full of life and activities, they all soon fell to chaos after the Killion Genocide. Currently, Killion is under the control of "Mayhem", one of the founding members of R3v314ton and holds an iron grip over Sanctuary: Killion and many others. Other Sanctuaries like Pyre and Heaven's Gate, remain in control of the players by the means of strong defenses and beta testers that reside there.
Exodus
Exodus was the setting for games that took on a more futuristic aspect. Its skyscrapers and its quick transports, the multitude of gaming options had established it as a beginners dream as it held more options then Genesis did. Its biggest metropolis, Eon Evangel, EE, was designed for those of higher levels and those who had the currency to afford it. When it heard of the Genocide of Killion, it did nothing but continue on with its daily life. It was said that many higher members of R3v314t1on reside here, maintaining control of it as a digital syndicate. Despite its beauty it has gained the reputation as a place one must watch who they trust. Talk of rebellions were met with immediate termination of their account. Permanente death. Those who control EE are known simply as the Black Rose Syndicate, a group of elite players which include beta testers and is rumored to have a hacker.
Elysium
Elysium, the pinnacle of an Elysium's player's dream. Many items here are of high quality and power and all are mostly free. Every possible game genre is able to be played here. However, only the toughest of players are capable of entering as they must meet certain requirements, mostly envolving level and capabilities. Constent gladiator like tournaments are held for the players in this world. Those who hold it however, is the group itself, R3v314t1on. Promises of freedom from the game are made but never fulfilled. It is for their amusment and pleasure that they hold these tournaments. They even have allowed players to challenge the rulers of this world. Those who fight in this tournament, known as champions, stay in the cresent building known as The Arch. The Arch holds the best of the best, the most powerful players stay until they potentially meet their demise in the what has become known as Ragnarok. It is here that rumor has it the leader resides and it is here, that Project: Savior must make it.
Hey everyone. I was thinking about starting an RP when this song by Celldweller came on and I was like, "Yes this is it". So the idea is that you will try to take back control of the game and save everyone from R3v314t1on. I hope to get everything up and running in two weeks. This includes NPCs, bosses and the like. Also a possible Co-GM if...well... possible. but for now here is the starting CS below incase your interested.
ALso forgot to mention, you will all start in Genesis.
Just as a side note, the classes, weapons and abilities I will try to work on and come up with some but for the most part I will leave this open to you. If it sounds reasonable and has reasonable flaws as well, ill except it.
