THΞ UNIVΞRSΞ [Ready Player One inspired RP]

@DocRock well they RP will be 18+ so yeah pretty much. Just keep it to human sized and under no circumstances is My Little Pony allowed

As a note, real world character will need to be a human face claim while in virtual world character art will need to be 3D art in nature(character models from video games for example).

[DocRock]

Oh so if we can't find a picture of our character in 3D, we can't use em?

That could...make things harder. But I getcha, not an MLP person beyond the occasional hit of crossover tunes.

3D models, what a twist! But it’s a welcome one, and I already have several in mind just for this occasion.

[Temporary]

If there's still room I'll throw some interest into here. Always enjoy some RPO.

[CaptainSully]

@Vocab haven’t thought about numbers so I’ll see how many are interested and probably try to accommodate everyone, at least for the first chapter.

@DocRock

It's not much harder than trying to find the "perfect" FC, which to me is like pulling teeth. But there are tons of 3D modelled characters on Pinterest. If I can't find the right "look", I usually just go for a headshot and describe the clothing/gear, etc.

[CaptainSully]

@DocRock 3D model makes it sound more complex than it is. Think video game characters. Also as @Hellion says, use a head and then describe the rest of you wish.

@CaptainSullyWhen do you want a CS? :)

[CaptainSully]

@EldarionI well I’ll post the CS in the next week or so and then the OOC will be a week behind that.

[EldarionI]

I'll draft a basic CS when I get home from work and save it to my laptop then! Can we have a cache of gear already saved or will we all be new players? :)

[King Cosmos]

@CaptainSully hmm, I had a 3D model in mind to use for the face claim but just realised that the model is of a character that is from a series that may be used as a source of items for the game.

Are these models supposed to be the products of character creation, like the RPO book, or skins of existing characters like the movie? If it's the former then using 3D models from video games, especially popular ones, might be an issue.

[CaptainSully]

@EldarionI well I’m still working on it but the gist is:

• Each character can equip a primary and secondary weapon, armour, a non-flying mount/vehicle, two equipment pieces and then a unique item.
• In theory you can have as many items as you wish but can only every equip one for each slot.
• Each character is allowed 2 rare and 1 unique item, everything else must be a standard item. Players will acquire more as we go.
• A standard item is your usual basic video game weapons and attire e.g. M4, Katana, Plate Armour, Flashbang etc. If anyone has trouble with this then I’ll be sure to help.
• Rare items are more towards famous character centric gear e.g. Yautja plasma caster, Mjolnir, Space Marine power armour, Omnitool etc.
• Unique items are super items that have a long cool down (1 chapter in game). They can be summons ala Final Fantasy, a mecha ala Gundam or something that transforms your character such a green lantern ring or “Goku’s wig” to turn yourself into a super saiyan. That isn’t the key limitations of it but ultimately each summon or transformation will disappear after five minutes.

I wouldn’t worry about writing background yet because I need to finish off backstory stuff.

[CaptainSully]

@King Cosmos what’s the claim?

[DocRock]

Gotcha, so only video game or movie characters, no anime folk unless they have a rough 3D model in something like Gmod, I take it? Just making sure again. I may ask a ton of questions, ahaha.

That said, I'll start considering items.

[EldarionI]

@CaptainSully I just have one question about The Universe, will it basically be like a VR gateway to every game ever created? :P

[CaptainSully]

@DocRock if you can find a suitable model/render then it should be ok.
@EldarionI it’d be more like you’d be able to play any game in it but not go inside the game if that makes sense? Certain series will have their own worlds and stuff(will probably write a list at some point).

[DocRock]

That makes sense, I'll see what I can find.

Push comes to shove, I can't find a 3D render of this one character I was gonna do, I'll probably just do Doctor Eggman or something, since cool stuff.

[DocRock]

Found one, litttt.
