In the year 2126, a Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or DMMORPG called Yggdrasil was released. It stands out among all other DMMORPG's due to its unusually high ability for the player to interact with the game. After an intense 12-year run the game servers are about to be shut down. Within the game exists a guild, The De Ordine Imperii (or Empire of Order to those outside of the group), once consisting of numerous members and credited as one of the longest lasting guilds in the game. Now only a of the members remain, the others have left the game, or unable to return for the game's ending for one reason or another. Of those members only a handful remain in time to say goodbye to the game that they have devoted so much time to. In order to celebrate their long lasting friendship, and their openness to other players they have hosted an open guild party for the remaining players who wish to participate in the final hours of the guild. Their guild hall known as Grand Arce Bellum. A grand white marble palace that few have conquered. Boasting renown warriors and talented clerics the guild was not renown as a 10 ten guild but a long lasting one as it had started almost shortly after the guild system was first introduced officially.

When the shut-down time arrives however, it would appear that the people have not logged out...Instead it appears as if Yggdrasil has been recreated as its own reality along with its various NPCs having been brought to life while the group at the party have been trapped in the form of their game avatars, leaving him unable to use the normal player functions, such as General Message, or even to log out. With no other option, the new Empire of Order prepares to find out what has happened...and if they can return to their new world. The world has become much more interesting than it use to be...

Rules:

1. All basic roleplay rules apply modding, meta gaming, and even god modding in this setting are restricted.

2. For whatever reason I reserve the right to not allow something into this roleplay. For better or worse I may reject something outright as right of gm.

3. I will be limiting the people who can be max level off the bat. Why? Because while Overlord is all about a power scale discrepancy between Momonga, and others that sort of thing is ill fit for a roleplay. If everyone is overpowered then how do I, as GM, stimulate an adventure where we can't just walk into a kingdom and destroy everything they have with our pinky fingers. You may be a high level but at a point I will be asking people to lower themselves down in order to make am more diverse cast.

4. World level items, and such are restricted on a case by case basis. You may ask to have one prior to the rp but I will apply rule 2 as I see fit.

5. Players who are missing for a week without notification will have their player characters killed. I will not tolerate a dead halt in the roleplay.

6. While I will be gm I will be expecting players to make up their own adventures as well. If you don't wish to go with the main group you may make a side story elsewhere. However if it is to have a long lasting connection to an overall plot please include myself in planning it.

7. While traditionally a humanoid guild Empire of Order will be allowing non humans into the guild hall before then. The NPCs won't respect non humans but they won't attack you on sight as per orders of the other 'high beings' in short you may be undead, or a lizardman if you so desire.

sure looks Good, I'm interested.

Alright glad to have you along anything you need answered? Also I apologize for the lack of content on the interest check itself. I didn't want to bog it down with unneeded copy and paste, and I feel that if I put too much on The Empire of Order pre-end game (Start of rp) that if anyone is interested in joining it would kneecap potential in their character. It also may look like I'm over prioritizing the guild over other players.

All good. Thanks though.

Sounds interesting :) .

Alright well glad to have more people along. Ideally i'd like at least two more.

I love the anime, it amuses the hell outta me XD I'd like to see where this goes :3 The only question I have is what's the limitations on non-humans? I tend to have a draconic character if I'm allowed to (wings, tail, horns, elemental breath that's normally acidic).

@KazemitsuYou're limited to what has been shown in the show. The relatively closest thing you can get to that is the demi human lizardmen.

overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Lizar…

If I'm over looking some sort of dragon-kin species that has been in the show than you can correct me on that matter. If you want poison you can specialize in rogues with daggers, and such, or a black mage type job class that uses poison debuffs and the like. I know things like what you describe are present in DnD but I have not been into the series long enough to know if they are in Yggdrasil.

I could be down for this. I actually have a few ideas for characters right now.

Alright well if you would like to brainstorm, and or confirm things with me feel free to do so reflection.

I've watched all the current episodes release.

I'm honestly kinda sad that the show hasn't shown very many demi-humans that don't look...human. All the maids, Demiurge, Sebas look very human while the supreme beings looked completely non-human aside from bipedal. (The few ones we've seen anyway)

But despite the lack of draconic character I can settle for a lizardman :3

Lizardman is just fine. All races, within reason, will be allowed. I'll see about getting an ooc out tomorrow but I can't promise that since Easter is a thing then I have college on monday.

There's also mention of snakemen and toadmen(who would wanna be a fat toad person?) on the wiki but apparently haven't been seen on the show. But eh, lizardman, awaaaaaay

alright well you have time. I'd look over the job careers, and the lizardman's racial stuff before picking a path. The CS won't have a bunch of big statistics or what have you because i like to keep things simple but its nice to have a good plan.

I haven't the foggiest on where to find that stuff. The wiki has those bolded and white so not clickable...

You can base them off DnD style classes, or by the people who are in that class listed by the wiki. For example we can assume Berserker is a damage oriented character, or a champion is a defense wall. Characters like Ki Masters have an inclination to project spiritual power in one form or another like Sebas using it to make stronger melee attacks, or project a debuff. In other words much like a monk which is also what he is.

Paladin tend to be heavy warriors who use minor mages to empower themselves, or to help allies with minor healings. While Templars seem to be healers who are also able to be full on combatants.

Ah. I've always leaned towards melee, so lizardman barbarian/berserker would be my thing. It helps that lizardmen are 1.4x stronger physically than humans to help my brutish brain

True but keep in mind your character will have a human mind unless you intend to slowly have the transfer to wherever the hell we are to effect your character's mental capacity. More over Lizardmen in show are shown to be fairly intelligent. It's all for what you want to go for really.

I can be a smart potato XD But in character I tend to let my brawn talk unless it's not necessary. (I try to keep it IC and not let meta knowledge in...)

Again you can have you real life human mind just be a complete dolt but that's all on how you want to play it. Just because that may come out wrong I don't mean that offensively at all. Just in a play style sense.
