Humanity has finally created a true utopia, as it was meant to be instead of the failed versions humans always did in the past. Humanity through gene editing has purged the undesirable tendencies from humanity.

Sanctuary the virtual network that everyone visits for fun or work. It was created originally to give people universal access to the world, live in America but want to work for a company in Japan, with Sanctuary you can. Want to visit amusement parks that no longer exist you can. Eventually people grew bored, they wanted more they wanted adventure. At first an illegal expansion called the Badlands was made to allow people to do just about anything they wanted that Sanctuary wouldn’t allow. Eventually Sanctuary released a mandatory update that incorporated the Badlands expansion into its core features. The Clan Wars began shortly after.

The Specters of the Apocalypse a newly formed clan has not made a name for itself yet among the numerous other clans. Some clans restrict players to having a minimum number unique artifacts or cash. The Specters have no such requirements. The clan doesn’t exist to bring glory to itself and its members, it exists as a place for players to become friends and to provide support for one another.

While on Planet Doom the Specters of Apocalypse make a discovery that millions of players have never found before. A quest that was buried, likely once developed never intended to be accessed. Just finding it has changed the course of history forever. Once they discovered everyone knew about it, Stargates appeared in every Clan Ship and in every hub. The Stargates lead to secret locations throughout Sanctuary inaccessible through ordinary means. Once you solve the riddle, clues, & puzzles you are given the Gate Addresses to these secret locations. The Stargates themselves randomly display the riddle, clues, & puzzles. The Specters of Apocalypse have access to the first clue before anyone else.





Zeroing Out:

If you agree to a duel for instance where your artifacts are on the line you can lose them.

If you are on a quest, mission, whatever where you are the sole avatar involved everyone else is AI you lose nothing but the progress you made. You will lose cash & artifacts you gained during the quest since you failed to complete it.

If you are on Doom World or any other MOBA world, you will lose all your cash. If a clan mate can jump in and collect your cash before your vanquisher does you can get it back, if your clan mate is willing. Same thing if you are on a team battle not with your clan.

I'm still looking for a good avatar and working on the significant quests. In the mean time, here's a few artefacts that I would like to use.

Arms Inventory I am going to reject, because its sole purpose is storage. Storage is not something any avatar has to worry about, because I find that game mechanic very very very very annoying. I know it's realistic but games aren't realistic.

The rest are accepted. You sure you don't want any armor other than the sneakers?

@Burning Kitty the purpose of the inventory is to act as a quick bar, so my character can switch weapons a lot faster or even near-instantly. It's not about storage. I'm fine with it being rejected if need be, it is somewhat superfluous and there may even be a game feature that does the same thing; I just think they're cool.

I might add armour later. I'm going for speed over defense and I can't think of anything suitable right now.

You know how in the final battle Artemis had a screen in front of her where she cycled through inventory, that is how we do it here. If the Arms Inventory is faster, then thats cool keep it and consider it approved.

King you can add artifacts to your character's sheet since I approved them already. If you add the inventory one I'll add it to the list of artifacts. Not sure what field that would fall under.

To everyone: I updated the CS again, I know I am such a pain about that. Personal Artifacts has been altered to Weapon, Armor, & Power Artifact fields.

To everyone: Feel free to tell me I need to tone down my character's Artifacts if I have to many or whatever.

That's exactly what I imagined weapon swapping to be like and the Arms Inventory would be faster.

The Pipboy isn't a weapon so it should probably go under a separate section for utility items. For everything else I would need to see the profiles for each artefact before making any judgment about their strength.

You are right. Forgot to move that one.

To Everyone: Another update to Artifacts added Utility Artifact. *Ducks behind cover* Don't everyone shoot me. This time it's King's fault.

I'll try to come up with something, but I'm not sure about my schedule. I'll be gone next week with no computer access and won't be back until the following weekend, unless I show up later in the RP if it turns out you guys start by the time I'm gone.

I'll post what I have come up with as far as a character and artifacts tomorrow around 12pm-3pm EST.

@AnneLynch it’s cool we’ll add your avatar in later, Maybe an avatar that saves our bacon during one of the special quests that our clan discovers.

In the Badlands/Sanctuary there is Player vs AI, Player vs Player, the special quests will add a new threat. It’s a surprise.

HUMAN NAME
Sonya Tarchand.

AVATAR NAME
Kaptaan. (Cap-Tawn)

PETS
She has no known pets.

WEAPON ARTIFACT
Miss Fortune's Flintlock.

ARMOR ARTIFACT
She has no extra armor artifact current.

UTILITY ARTIFACT
The Golden Hook.

POWER ARTIFACT
The Witching Hour.

COMPANION ARTIFACT
Fowl Play.

MOUNT ARTIFACT
Midnight Steed.

VEHICLE ARTIFACT
The Wicked Wench.

CASH
10,000.

SIGNIFICANT QUEST
When Sanctuary began Kaptaan was well known in the nautical areas of the virtual world. Sonya had been from inner city slums and never saw the ocean, a dream she was able to live out in the virtual world. Kaptaan became a reoccurring beautiful face and charming personality that could not be forgotten even after users signed off.

After helping some newer players to fight off the usual and very predictable wave of "bandits" that spawned every few hours in that particular port, Sonya noticed some higher level and already clan joined players trying to cheat some of the newer and younger members out of their coins. Speaking up, the group challenged her to five individual duels where on the first fight she lost everything.

Building her repertoire back up from scratch she re-challenged the group over a year later and won; her perseverance unmatched. The lower level players of the area banked their balances together to purchase the woman a ship, so she could be more flashy in the area that she called her main hub. Though remaining in that area as often as she did, word of name spread into other areas- some calling her a fool while others found her loyalty to what she cared about a breath of fresh air. When the clan; The Specters of the Apocalypse messaged her and asked for her to join in she had her doubts and misconceptions; but now consider the group a great change of pace in the game.

@MissCapnCrunch First question is that an actual hook for a hand or is she just holding a hook with her hand? Doesn’t matter I am always curious since that one pirate character I saw was faking it.

Artifacts:
You have two unique artifacts, you are allowed one for now. I can approve both but your character will only have access to one of them for the moment. Or you can make the parrot common.

As for the rest of them approved. Will update the artifact spreadsheet after work today.

Unrelated to anything: Thanks for linking to the flintlock one, found an amazing new wallpaper.

I have updated the Artifacts section of the Character sheet. Please update accordingly.

Character:
Just see one small problem. Sanctuary was the first real virtual world. There was virtual reality, but it was games like on the Xbox, no worlds. Sanctuary had no games until an illegal mod called Badlands which was later incorporated into Sanctuary. So your character couldn’t be well known when Sanctuary started as a pirate queen. Fix that one bit and add all of your artifacts with the correction I mentioned above then post in the character tab.

Note to self: Go back to the check and get the history of Sanctuary and Badlands and add to the opening post.

@MissCapnCrunch would the Wicked Wench count as a clan ship? Clans are limited to one ship per clan and we are also limited to one unique artefact each, but if you say that Kaptaan gave up the ship to be able to join the Spectres of the Apocalypse then everything works out.

@King CosmosThe ship is listed as a vehicle artifact like a car. So not a clan ship, unless something was left out.

@Burning Kitty it seems a bit big for a personal vehicle and you can't really crew a large ship like that by yourself outside of a video game, though that depends on how realistic the mechanics are for sailing (I'm guessing, pretty realistic).

It doesn't fit my expectations for what a vehicle artefact would be, but it's not my call to make.

AI crew with no personality could do most of the work with the avatar as the caption steering like in Assassin’s Creed. Won’t be seeing it racing but I can work with it in an ocean setting.

@Chain good luck.
