World's End Online

It was one of the VR MMO games to pop up when Virtual Reality became sophisticated enough to simulate the real world. Following the craze for VR MMOs due to popular shows, books and what have you, World's End Online, developed by an obscure company based in Japan aimed towards being a medieval experience. While the foundation of the game was solid, the bog standard story, and painfully repetitive quests brought it down, as well as the painfully generic settings. While they have noticed most not even trying to be part of the medieval world and bringing in less than accurate fighting styles into the game, the promotional crossover anime event they tried to boost the game's player base with was not as successful as it could be.

However, even with all its downsides, it retained a fanbase of its own, due to its extremely robust base. The combat system was well received, having all the classes in its class system being able to do their own unique thing.

It was why, when a group of people stumbled upon a lone instance filled with nothing but an obviously oriental shrine, it was something that was highly unusual. The shrine had that attention to details not found in the rest of the game, giving off the feeling that it was somewhere that could feasibly exist and had people living in it. It was why, when maintenance to the server prevented the group from exploring, they returned back to that place afterwards, and found not a shrine, but a simple red gateway, and a bunny eared maid looking wholly out of place from the generic medieval tone of the whole game.

Perhaps they were bored of the generic medieval tone of the game. Perhaps they wanted to see what she had to offer, or perhaps they were just looking for new things to fight. In any case, the bunny eared maid offered a whole new campaign, and all they had to do was accept the EULA again.

tldr

Group of peeps find an oddly eastern style place in a VR game thats all about that generic european medieval setting, and goes there to find an odd bunny eared maid ready with a whole new campaign with a decidedly strange theme.

Any takers? I'll fluff things up more if there's enough people interested to get this going . ^^'

char sheet

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: Pic or description or both if you feel like it. Just gimme an idea of what they look like.
Personality: Just a gist of it.
Background: Just a gist of it, no need to know all the bits of your characters stuff. Just any important parts.

Ingame Name:
Ingame Appearance: If the avatar you're using is not molded to your real life looks.
Ingame Personality: If applicable
Class: One of the first tier jobs in this game, so either Swordman, Mage, Archer, Merchant, Thief, or Acolyte. Novice is the starter class before taking the exam to become those first tier jobs, but not really relevant unless you're one of those crazy people doing PvP with a starter class because they can or something.
Equipment: Please make this make sense. A swordsman may use a pike, but if he's sporting a staff im gonna find you and hide all your shoes.

I'd like to get involved and learn more of the setting you're teasing us with. For example, I'd love to hear more about the world outside the VR MMO. We know there was a craze for these type of games now that Virtual Reality was more serviceable as a platform, but what about the world outside of said games? Did significant events occur that would effect our characters background? When it comes to being creative, how far can we go with the modern setting provided? The campaign you offer is sure to be interesting, but a lot of times, there are background factors to the individuals playing these games. One cannot be in VR all the time, they have lives outside of it.

Admittedly, I'm rather curious to see where you go from this. Consider my interest piqued.

So thats at least three people interested in this. ^^

@Denduris

Significant events? Its still similar to the modern world we have now, but there are several technological advances made like robotic prosthesis with actual tactile feedback, exoskeletons for the old being feasible, though VR tech had jumped leaps and bounds far ahead of the other techs. Its the future but not too futuristic to have full androids working as your maids, if that makes sense. ^^;

As for being creative, well, id say within limits of common sense for the actual notmmo people? An actual assassin who works for the goverment's secret police who wields dual blades is kinda too out there for an actual person after all. People making up their backstory in the actual mmo game is alright though.

@GreenGoat

Sounds good! That is all the details I needed until the OOC thread.

[GreenGoat]

Im gonna go work on the OOC now.^^

I added in a CS so anyone who wants to make an early draft of their char are able to do so while I prep the OOC ;w;
