In the near future, technological advancements have led to a sudden rise of Virtual Reality gaming. Thanks to the newest forms of brain-machine interface, for the first time ever, hardware available to the general public was able to reach a state total immersion where all of the player's senses got feedback from simulated realities within the game worlds.
For obvious reasons, this opened a new era of entertainment with online games benefiting the most out of it. Dated genres like MMORPGs had a massive comeback when people were finally able to become the character of their choice. However, as is expected of any gaming revolution, First Person Shooters would quickly rise to dominate the gaming scenery.
The biggest of these games, named Gun Burst Online, has a unique mix of Sci-Fi and real world elements as well as top notch graphics and a superb physics engine which is rumored to have been developed for military purposes. It is capable of emulating reality to an impressive degree while still keeping the subtle differences that make it a game to cater both to hardcore veterans and the most casual players alike. The best part is that Gun Burst is completely free, sustained by vivid microtransaction system as well as advertisement, which—they claim— plays a crucial place in simulating a dystopian world dominated by mega corporations.
Monetization schemes aside, no one can deny that when it comes to realistic, yet entertaining shooting games, there's not a single one that can surpass the giant that Gun Burst Online became. And it's in this world that your adventures will unfold.
In the year of 2025, virtual reality technology has finally reached a level that was previously only heard of in science fiction stories, bringing up the rise of a new era in entertainment.
The story of this RP will be about the players of the biggest virtual reality online game, Gun Burst Online, a massive, Sci-Fi FPS where the only limits for a player's character is their own creativity. And that's exactly the main setting of this RP. Ro be more precise, the story will deal with the events of the newest editions to Bullet Break, the biggest battle royale tournament in the world of Gun Burst Online. What drama and mystery could await in the future for those brave enough to join it either for fun or profit?
The world of Gun Burst Online is a post-apocalyptic, science fiction land dominated by threats of both the natural and artificial kind. The few remaining bastions of civilization exist as massive dystopian cities dominated by the power of money, while untamed wilderness and deserted badlands dominate everything else. Finally, ruins from a distant past dot the land, serving the same purpose as dungeons would in a fantasy game.
A world of dust and gunpowder, where only the strong have any hope of surviving. That's what Gun Burst Online is.
While the real world counterparts of the in-game characters will have little focus for most for the duration of the tournament, the RP will be based in Gun Burst's Japanese server. Thereby, all characters must either be from Japan or have an explanation about why they are playing in another region's server.
