I can do something. And by something, I mean they can run away together.

What better team building exercise is there than running away from your impending doom together?

i'll get a post up later today, probably sometime during the evening.

I might even jump in on what @ERode and @OliveYou have going on there

@ERode

Could i have Elyan nearby hearing them run?

Ive been trying to post for ages now and honestly, i just want to have him interact with someone.

Sure, why not?

@Ozerath: You've been mia a few days; any news on the update?

I'll give another 1-2d buffer before we push on regardless.

@PKMNB0Y hello friend :3

May I join

@liferusher: been a while, huh?
Yeah, you can join.

@PKMNB0Y hmm nod

@Ozerath: You've been mia a few days; any news on the update?

Hey sorry about the MIA, real life took an unexpected turn.

I got offered a promotion, so I'm not sure I'll be able to post consistently for the next few weeks, so I think I'd better withdraw so I'm not leaving folks hanging.

Well, hope you guys got a chuckle out of my one post! :p

Ah, alright. Congratulations and g'luck in the future, bud.

Name (Former):
Joy

Name (Character):
Sho

Age:
24

Character Level:
58

Character Class:
Samurai

Personality:
Joy is a shut in girl who has left the real world aside 4 years ago. She hasn't gone out of her room since that day and does everything online even so much as working. Her social skills are pared to zero after she had shut herself in, it even goes as far that she is scared of being spoken to or having to talk. However when she finds out that not all humans hurt her she does open up to the ones she thrusts. Online she is on a whole different level however she has made a lot of friends and can be very type-active talking about the most basic things.

Her real world self is a scarcely cat that is afraid to do anything on her own while her internet self is a superhero that can do anything and helps everyone. It is like she has a completely opposite personality that she wants to have. In the big picture she is very kind though and tries her best in everything she does, she likes to help others even if you can't call it helping.

Abilities:
Sho is still a normal human and therefor has no special abilities. Her agility is faster and her strength is better then most humans but furthermore there is nothing special about her that any other samurai wouldn't have.

Skills:
Sho her skills consist of light damage sword skills and heavy damage dealing sword skills that have a very long cool-down. They can be used to finish fights quickly. Furthermore she has a few defense skills but she relies more on counterattack skills instead of defense when she is on her own. She doesn't have skills that heal herself or any magic based skills.



Backstory:
Joy was always the shy kid around others, she wouldn't talk much or voice her opinion even when she wanted to. She strolled through life without much of a problem though, aced school got into her preferred art university. She still had to pay most of the cost on her own yet, she managed somehow by taking on multiple weird part time jobs that would keep her alive.

Joy got to a point in her life when she wouldn't even see her own home anymore and decided it was time to end her dire situation by quiting her favorite art university. All in order to cool off for a while. Her head was only focused on work and school that it took its toll. Joy still kept some of her part time jobs to make some more money but fell into social decline a few weeks later after she couldn't take it anymore. The door went completely shut, only letting in package orders and groceries. She comtinued to play her favorite game to take the attention away from her stress and became somewhat addicted to it. The so called Emerald Odyssey had clearly become an obsession to her.

It took her a few weeks of constant playing to realise to herself that her money was starting to deplete slowly from her daily costs. She had to get a job but going outside wouldn't be an option for her. Her obvious answer was doing something with her art. She did keep drawing everyday so might as well give it a try right. It might not earn much but it was something. And so her journey began. To the lowest point of humanity. Doujins.

It all started sweetly with some fanart of her favorite characters in Emerald Odyssey. That quickly began to turn however as people kept asking her to draw some... More... 'Good' fanart. They paid well and it only tugged lightly at Joy her sanity, but over the time she began to get more used to it. She actually... Liked this kind of art. Her obsession grew worse and eventually it all went down the rabbit hole of her drawing whole Doujinshi's and selling them on comiket by her friend under her actual username. She had become quite famous in the Emerald Odyssey community for doing this. Her character name and artist name were the same so it wouldn't be strange for her to be recognised.

It might not earn as much as she liked to have but at least it would cover all her costs plus some extra for fun things. At least she enjoyed doing it.

The new expansion was comming and so she had to prepare with a freshly made character on her favorite class. Samurai.

She wanted to get to level 90 once more before the new expansion and go onward with this new character to the next level cap. Then it happened. She was just casually playing with her newest character very excited about the release. She was doing some solo grinding minutes before the maintenance began to add the new expansion. The seconds counted down as she looked at her clock to see how much more time she had till the server would shut down. She wasn't gonna finish this enemy, she stopped fighting and waited at a quite area as she leaned back into her chair seeing the clock tick down. She counted the last three seconds before she began to yawn and?

Other:
Sho doesn't grasp this whole situation just yet, she can't get used to her new body or the world. She has only seen the outside world from her window the past few years so being out there right now is quite frightening to her.
The fact the she used to solo do partly everything doesn't apply in the new situation right now as she is utterly useless in real life with a sword as well.

@liferusher: All right, form analysis time.

1. No subclasses. Wipe that from the form. No need for it.
2. There are a bunch of chronological inconsistencies with the backstory. For example, the character is 23 and has been a shut-in for 6 years, but 'aced school [and] got a decent job'. Logically, there is a buffer window between that and the withdrawal from society, but given that the character would have to have been 17 when that happened... Yeah, things don't add up. Also, online job with what must reasonably a high school diploma at best seems sketchy and at worst feels like a complete and utter scam.
3. Oh boy. Solo clearing endgame. Where to begin...
Okay, the big problem here is that content developers for an MMO are not incentivized to make solo content aside from MAYBE story. That remains the case here; allowing players to run through an entire game on their own devolves it from an MMORPG into just an RPG, which defeats the purpose of multiplayer. Heck, many bosses these days have mechanics that require multiple party members to cooperate in order to accomplish. I doubt that'd change here.
So... Big no to that. No endgame player should be soloing endgame content meant for party play.
4. Dual wielding katanas...
Can I just give that a no based on swords? Katanas are generally able to be wielded with one or two hands, yes, but the balance on having to dual wield them is bad. You've got other swords as options, but still. If you really want them, you'll have to make a case.
5. Level a tad too high. A bit lower, please.

I think that's it for now.

Okay I still exist, I just had to do a few things for school that I forgot, post estimated for tomorrow to get me into the RP.

@TheMushroomLord: Figured I would quickly ping you just as a reminder. ^^;

Ahhh! Thanks, sorry. I was sure I put one up but I guess not, I'll get on than now.

Finally managed to make a second post! You lot decide if it hits the wolf, the ground, or either of the characters.

@ERode

Its a pretty big spear. You sure you want it to hit her?

That's why I mentioned her leg almost getting chopped off.

@ERode

Cool, just making sure.

Im not sure if he missed because he doesnt have a throwing spear skill, or because hes still kinda drunk.
