[OOC] Questing for Reality

[SheriffLlama]

@Vocab Sarcasm about the anime thing?

[Temporary]

I don't have the energy to preach the goodness that is the book, nor shout at the heathens who have yet to read it.

Good times.

[Temporary]

@SheriffLlama There was sarcasm anywhere in those messages..? I'm not good at spotting it when it's written. Sometimes it's even difficult to identify in speech, so yeah.

[SheriffLlama]

@Vocab no I meant - yknow never mind it's not important. Anyway - yay for sibling character

[Temporary]

@SheriffLlama Now just to wait for Wolver to come back online and post theirs.

*Excitement levels rising*

[Jinxer]

@SheriffLlama Looking good, Llama.

Ready Player One is a fantastic book and, while it forms the base for this RP, none of the clues will be depending on the players having read it. I wouldn't force anyone to read it but if anyone is interested and does read it as a result I count that as a win, it's a great book and worth reading (there are synopses available on the internet, I'm sure but the concept of VR isn't terribly hard to grasp so getting into this world won't be hard).

That said, I will make a few references as most 'Adventurers' will have read RPO as part of their research in the RP - although I will be deviating a little from the general idea of VR as it is in RPO later on. *Spoilers*

MoonLit

Avatar’s Appearance: Having taken a shorter approach, Sarah made herself stand at 5’3”, always having thought that she was “too tall” for certain things in real life. Her body is a bit more full but still keeps the “petite” aspect of the real life body. Everything else is pretty much the same with the exception that her hair is down to the middle of her back, straight, and a silvery-rose color. Just because she's extra and likes to stand out.

Avatar's Gender: Female

Avatar's Personality: While Sarah is labeled as outgoing in real life, when it comes to gaming, Sarah is the definition of outgoing personified. She can be timid at first when put up against something challenging, or an obstacle that may seem to big, but nothing will stop her from tackling it. Regarding VR, Sarah tends to take everything with a grain of salt and usually has a plan b and plan c just in case.

Preferred worlds: Fantasy; some fandoms

Sarah Lee

Appearance:

A bit above average height, Sarah stands at 5’7” and has a natural slender frame with minimal curves. She has curly hair that would most likely break brushes if someone attempted to calm it down. Her eyes are a light brown that match her hair, and her skin is a shade darker than caramel.

Gender: Female
Age: 19, birthday is on December 5th.
Personality: Sarah has always had a bubbly personality that has been considered as contagious by those around her. She loves to be around people, and loves the atmosphere of a party. A downside to her friendliness and bubbly attitude is that it makes her come off as naive. Sarah would rather believe that everyone has good inside of them which has led her to some trouble that her brother has had to get her out of. Rather than show any negative feelings, Sarah tends to smile or laugh to hide her true emotions.

History: Sarah’s parents were both in their late teens, not even in college yet. The parents decided that due to their youth, and the fact that they had bad lives themselves, they chose to give the baby up for adoption immediately after birth. For seven years, Sarah moved from foster parent to foster parent, luckily always having some sort of company. It wasn't until she was adopted by Dr. Lee and his wife that Sarah experienced what it was like to be the only child. At first, she loved the fact that she had real parents, and all the unconditional love was for her. Unfortunately that happiness wouldn't last for too long because she soon found herself falling into a depression that was caused by the feeling of loneliness. It was this that made the parents decide to adopt another child, Roman. Ever since, the two have had a loving relationship with an unbreakable bond.

Expertise: Sarah has always been more artistic and creative. She has had several years of dance and gymnastics that could apply to certain situations because flexibility is always needs in physical activities. She also loves the outdoors no matter what she's doing, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty.

@wolverbells Great!

I'm going to accept all of the characters posted thus far and close us to further applications. I'll have an IC post up later today. In the meantime if everyone could post their sheets into the character tab.

@JBRam2002 If anyone drops out I'll let you know first and foremost but I think we're going to run with this cast.

[JBRam2002]

@JinxerAlright, thanks for letting me know :)

[Jinxer]

I should probably remind everyone that its been two years since the start of the Quest and no one has yet found the first clue's destination.

Anyone who has a thought on it then PM me and I'll say yay/nay/close and you can post accordingly!

[Temporary]

Not expecting anyone to share the details of their research, but I'm really wondering now if anyone has so far made any definitive headway.

Me? I'm... pretty sure I'm fucked. I'm now so invested in solving this shit, I have made my own unique variation on Wade's Grail Diary. Very sure I'm going potty... XD

[wolverbells]

@Vocab I told you disappointment was to come with me LOL

[Jinxer]

I should mention that in your first posts you don't need to worry about the clues. Just do a character introduction for now, I'll give direction on the clue resolving when I next post in the IC.

[Temporary]

@Jinxer Theres a discrepancy in the OP and first IC post. You call the CEO of Virtual Reality both Helen Seymour and Helen Grey... I assume Helen Grey is the intended name, since it is HEG on the Scoreboard (like JDH from RPO), so I thought I'd let you know.

[Jinxer]

@Vocab

Ta, I changed my mind halfway through and figured I'd missed a few changes along the way.

[Temporary]

There's my post up. Its pretty long, but I hope its good. Please, lemme know what you think ^~^

[Temporary]

Wow. All of the intro posts are actually quite strong. Not entirely sure what I was expecting, but good job guys ^~^

[wolverbells]

I actually hate mine and somewhat hope that my other posts are better. I'm not used to staying up as late as I did last night so I blame how exhausted I was. I'm never posting after 11 pm again.

[Temporary]

@wolverbells Well, at least you have a goal to work towards. Though, it really wasn't as bad as you make it sound. It wasn't bad at all, in fact.

[Jinxer]

At some point this evening I'll be posting again and moving us on a little but I have no intention to rush things.
