[OOC] Second Frontier

[Damon]

SECOND FRONTIER

The world of Second Frontier is on the continent of Irya <eye-raw>, it is a peninsula surrounded by three oceans. The northwest of the peninsula is connected to the mainland, which much is unknown about it. The peninsula and the mainland are divided by a mountain wall known as Gaia’s Pass, which towers high above the land.

The continent of Irya is divided into three countries, to the north bordering Gaia’s Pass is the Dukedom of Ellyuse <ELI-USE>, the most western country is known as the Queendom of Fay, and the southern country is known as the Freed Country of Hugh <hue>. Not much is known about the countries of Ellyuse and Fay, as the expansion pack that included both countries was just introduced known as “The Brave Ones.” Hugh is heavily populated with players, with about each server hosting about 40,000 players.

The capitol city of Hugh is Elbenaster, located at the furthest point on Hugh near the ocean. The city is densely populated with both players and NPC’s. The main focus of Second Frontier is to have a fantasy adventure throughout Irya, completing quests, raiding dungeons, and making friends.

---

RACES OF IRYA
HUMAN: They are the most balanced of the races, being generally picked over any other race by players. They heavily populate the land of Irya and are usually the typical race seen as players and NPC's.

APPEARANCE

ELF: One of the oldest races that have been inhabiting the continent of Irya. They have sharp, pointed ears and are known for being selected by players who focus on the magical or agile classes. Elves are generally calm, easy-going people who tend to be very collected. They inhabit a few of the major cities across Irya, but are often known for being hidden in their forest cities.

APPEARANCE

CANES: Canes are one of three beastmen who inhabit Irya. They have the appearance of dogs, wolves, and every other type of canine out there. They are known for their loyalty and bravery. A strong, proud race, Canes are generally friendly and gentle towards everyone.

APPEARANCE

AELURUS: Aelurus are the second of the beastmen. They carry feline features and are known as quick, agile fighters. Most are very charming and friendly in demeanor, holding themselves a little above the rest. The Aelurus like to stick together, often creating packs or collections of their own kin.

APPEARANCE

LACERTIAN: The last of the known beastmen, the Lacertian are made up of brutish lizards. They are often tough, thick-headed but extremely powerful. Most Lacertian are known as great Warriors and Champions. They often times carry great hostilities towards others, even their own kinsmen.

APPEARANCE

DWARF: The dwarves are tiny, men and women who carry dwarfism. There are many stereotypes of dwarves being just simply short, stocky, and very ugly, but there are many exceptions. Some dwarves stand at a height that just narrowly makes them near a short human or elf stature. They often are a collected community known for their high intelligence of the land and resources. Along with the elves one of the older races of Irya.

APPEARANCE

CLASSES OF SECOND FRONTIER

WARRIOR CLASSES

GREAT KNIGHT: Great Knights are the most balanced of the Warrior class. They tend to vary in appearance as chosen by the player. Some can be seen with your typical knight-like appearance but there have been an influx of samurai looking players recently with the new expansion pack of "The Brave Ones." Their balance is shown through their orientation for most melee-weapons and can master shields and combinations like their counterparts in the Warrior class.
ARMOR TYPE: Heavy Armor, Light Armor, Leather, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: All Melee Weapons, Shields

DEFENDER: Defenders are known for their defense and durability. This is your typical tank, players who like reliable classes are often seen choosing defenders as they are easy to learn, but like most classes difficult to master alone.
ARMOR TYPE: Heavy Armor, Light Armor
WEAPON TYPE: Nearly All Melee Weapons, Shields

CHAMPION: A champion is known for their quick combinations with their skills and counters. They are masters of hand-to-hand combat and are very skill-heavy. With short cooldowns on their skills, most players tend to choose Champions as they are also known to have a high HP-base and can get very tanky even though they cannot wear heavy armors.
ARMOR TYPE: Light Armor, Leather, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Fists, Close-Combat Weapons, Limited Melee Weapons, Shields

DAMAGE PER SECOND (DPS) CLASSES

ASSASSIN: Swift, agile, and quick fighters. They are known to hide in the shadows and assassinate their opponents. They are the swiftest of the DPS classes and are the swiftest fighters of all classes. With such high agility and skill they lack a lot of defense and HP, the Assassin class is a very difficult one to master but players tend to choose it as a favored class for the similarity to a ninja.
ARMOR TYPE: Leather Armor, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Nearly all One-Handed Melee Weapons, Throwing Weapons

RANGER: Rangers are known as masters of archery. Their primary weapon is a bow, but they are known to have almost matched skills with their swordplay too.

Sneaky and agile, only being beaten by the Assassins in that department.
ARMOR TYPE: Light Armor, Leather Armor, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Ranged Weapons, Throwing Weapons, Limited One-Handed Melee Weapons (Daggers, Swords)

DUALIST: Dualists could be considered a Warrior class as it is a master of weaponry. They focus on fighting with two weapons, one in each hand. Their quick attacks are almost up to par with the Assassin's, but their damage is far less. The class heavily relies on it's combinations of damage and disability skills, also known as one of the hardest classes to master.
ARMOR TYPE: Leather Armor, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: All One-Handed Melee Weapons, Throwing Weapons, Limited Shields

CASTER CLASS

SORCERER: Sorcerer's are the highest damage dealing casters. They use the power of the elements to strike down their opponents. With such high magical prowess they lack a lot of defensive skills.

ARMOR TYPE: Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Staves, Tomes, Charms, Limited One-Handed Melee Weapons (Daggers, Short Swords)

DRUID: Druids are the sturdiest of the caster classes. They call on the magical powers and spirits of animals and nature. They have a wide range of offensive magic and also have a tab in defensive magic. Even though it has the lowest magical powers of the caster classes, it relies heavily on it's self-buffs to get through fights, being considered a fun class to play. Druids are also able to call upon animals to aid in battle, the animals vary on the skill and level of the Druid.
ARMOR TYPE: Leather Armor, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Charms, Fists, Limited One-Handed Melee Weapons (Maces, Flails)

NECROMANCER: Casters known to dabble in the dark arts are known as the Necromancer's. They dabble in dark magic and magic of the dead and undead spirits. Necromancer's also have the ability to summon those spirits and reincarnate them. The dark casters are also known to have a wide range of high status inflicting skills and extremely explosive offensive magic. They could be considered stronger than the Sorcerer class in terms of magical damage, but their high cooldown rate brings them down a notch.
ARMOR TYPE: Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Staves, Tomes, Wands, Limited Throwing Weapons (Knives), Limited One-Handed Melee Weapons (Daggers, Short Sword)

HEALER CLASSES

PRIEST/PRIESTESS: Priests and Priestesses are your general healing class. They tend the wounds of their comrades and are known to be very fragile.

They have a massive arsenal of healing and a few buff magics, Priests and Priestesses also have a small arsenal of offensive magic of the light.
ARMOR TYPE: Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Staves, Charms, Limited Shields

ENCHANTER: Enchanter's are a very difficult class. They have little to no healing powers other than a few healing-over-time skills and also lack skills in the offensive department. Their skills primarily focus on buffs, de-buffs, disabling, and status inducing skills. They also have the ability to enhance player's abilities and weapons with their enchantment and enhancement skills. Like the priest classes they tend to be very fragile and weak in the defensive department.
ARMOR TYPE: Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Staves, Tomes, Wands, Limited One-Handed Melee Weapons (Daggers, Short Swords)

MUSICIAN: Known as one of the fun classes to play, Musician's master the arts of music. They use instruments and a few ranged weapons to outwit and out-smart their opponents. Their songs are also known to help buff and even de-buff opponents. They also have a few damaging inducing songs and status inflicting songs. Musician's, like most of the Healer classes, tend to be party oriented.
ARMOR TYPE: Leather Armor, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Instruments, Limited One-Handed Melee Weapons (Daggers, Short Swords), Limited Shields

PARAGON: Paragon's are the tanks of the Healer class. They are similar to the druids as they specialize in self-buff and self-enhancing skills. They carry a few skills and chants that specialize in healing-over-time and a few skills that are to aid parties in enhancing abilities. The primary focus of the Paragon was to give players who like to be quest-oriented and lone wolves a shot to do things alone.
ARMOR TYPE: Light Armor, Leather Armor, Cloth
WEAPON TYPE: Staves, One-Handed Melee Weapons, Shields

PREMISE: Our character's are the people of Second Frontier Online. Some players are new to the world and some are old, but the thing is no one was expecting to be stuck in the world of Second Frontier. The continent of Irya is now what people call home, they had no choice. For some odd reason Second Frontier had caused the players to be awaken in game. Their own bodies now were that of their characters. Everyone woke up, their mind's wiped as to how, why, and when they logged onto the game, the only thing they know is that they can't get out. Even through death, they are revived, unable to escape the prison they used to call Second Frontier.

Irya is their home now, the only thing they can do now is survive and live their lives throughout the once known dreamscape world of Second Frontier.

We'll begin a week before the expansion and update is actually out, giving us something to look forward too and peer into their IRL lives plus their lives in Second Frontier before they're stuck in it.

Questions or anything, feel free to post here or PM me if you have any! Thanks in advance!

[Fabricant451]

Character

Real Name: Abigail Park

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Appearance: Abigail is of average height, standing just over five foot six, and of lean build. Often her hair, black in color, is maintained in a ponytail or else kept short to avoid the hassle of lengthy hair. Muddy eyes and slightly bushy eyebrows accentuate her pointed nose and her cheeks are puffier than the typical face. There’s a small birth mark above her upper lip that always gets mistaken for a mole. Some of her teeth are slightly larger than what she sees in others, her fronts especially, and as such when she does smile she does so purely with her lips.

When not in work attire, Abigail is typically found wearing comfort clothing, such as drawstring pants and old shirts that are a size and a half too large, though when going out in public efforts are made to wear something decently presentable, even if it’s a simple pair of jeans and other casual clothing. Not one for excessive accessories, Abigail does often wear a silver bracelet around her left wrist for purely sentimental reasons.

Personality: Driven is a fair qualifier for Abigail, driven by her desire to succeed. Goal-oriented in her career has worked out well for her thus far though it has made her come off as something of an unsocial workhorse to her friends and especially her family. Friendship and socialization are important and all, but Abigial has a habit of changing appointments with friends at the last minute because of other, more important happenings. When she isn’t occupied with work, she does enjoy going to a nearby amusement park both for their thrill rides and their bungee jumping setup. For her, it’s a good stress reliever on top of just being incredibly fun.

Though in her day-to-day life Abigial has a good career-oriented mind, little of that carried over to Second Frontier. In the game she is far more laid back and less focused on accomplishing quests and tasks in the game. She has a small reputation for being an unreliable party member due to how often she forgets crucial skills to aid her party; several dungeons ended in failure in part thanks to her. She much prefers the social side of things, hanging around the cities and working on non-combat specific tasks or just sitting in the central hub and listening to the conversations or playing a few notes on her weapon. For Abigail, Second Frontier is more of a relaxation tool than a serious time investment, though she does enjoy the other aspects of the game every now and then, on really stressful days.

Backstory: Abigial never had siblings growing up though her extended family was quite large and all manner of uncles and aunts and cousins were visiting the house frequently enough to where it felt like she had brothers and sisters. Her father owned and was the head chef of a local restaurant that saw decent business over the years, bolstered by its repeat customers; her mother wasn’t employed but was a loyal member of the town council and other groups. Upon graduating college, Abigial found employment as a financial adviser with a company of decent size. It wasn’t the most thrilling jobs, assisting people with transfers of hefty sums of money, but the pay was good even if the hours became less so as the years went on. Abigial never showed much interest in games other than card games, but she was given a copy of Second Frontier by a cousin whose boyfriend quit playing and Abigial was the first one who didn’t say no when offered a free copy. It took a few months for her to install it and play it, and she only did that because she found herself incredibly bored one afternoon when the cable was out. Though slightly overwhelming at first, Abigial grew to enjoy the game enough to play it more often. A new player, Second Frontier being pretty much the first game she played, she still often found herself confused about certain terms thrown around but remained too embarrassed to ask what they meant, hoping that context clues would aid her. She finds it fun, in its own way.

In-Game Name: Aralynde

Race: Elf

Class: Musician

Subclass: Brewmaster

Appearance In-Game

[drewccapp]

Real Name: Allan Rice
Age: 22.
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: Not really comfortable with acting different IRL vs in-game, Allan maintains his personality between the two as the same. He's a positive guy that doesn't let anything get him down. When it comes to anything he's a bit of a try-hard. He enjoys PvE more than PvP. He enjoys playing with people more than alone. He's a bit of a bookworm when it comes to the lore of the world. He has a bit of difficulty dealing with other people's negativity. He finds the animal-like races to be a bit weird and has a hard time comfortably conversing with them. While he is a try-hard, when it's important he knows when to relax and enjoy himself in a slow and steady pace. He has an extremely high tolerance for stress.

Backstory: Allan started gaming with the first major MMO ever: Everquest. From there he was destined to play many MMOs in their varying types for the rest of his life. Name an MMO and he's likely to have played it. He grew up with an interest in the entertainment industry: gaming, movies, books, and more. From a very young age he knew he wanted to build games.

As much of a gamer and nerd as he is, Allan also grew up an active and social life spending many hours with friends and family outdoors and indoors. He loved the company of people and many people loved his company. In high school he was the ace of the cross country team. He was one of the top students in his school, and even was voted class president for his junior year. He managed to get into the college of his choice and start his education in game development. He is in his senior year of college and has an internship lined up that may open into a career to the job he always wanted.

In Second Frontier, Allan has played since opening day when the servers were all the busiest. By far this was his favorite of all MMOs in existence. He spent many hours building his character, Lynx Westrice, a priest of Isodor, the god of life, death, balance, and wisdom. In his mind, no character he has made is any better than Lynx. He adapted to the sudden change of being stuck in Irya better than a lot of people, as he spent so many hour familiarizing himself with the world to the point where it practically was a second home.

In-Game Name: Lynx Westrice
Race: Human
Class: Priest
Subclass: Alchemist

Awesome, both Abigail and Allan are accepted!

Basilthorn the Paragon Lancer


Gender - Male
Race - Human
Class - Paragon
Level - 73(If wanted.)
Job - Barber

Personality:
On the battlefield, Basilthorn becomes a very confident battler. He believes his skill with the lance to be unmatched. With his self-buffing skills his strength and speed increase. Showing off an almost super-human like battler, which gives him the confidence to face off against enemies. He never attempts to show any sign of timidness of the battlefield. Believing that if he appears brave then it will give people the same courage and confidence that he holds.

Off the battlefield, Basilthorn is a tad different. He stills holds the confidence he shows in battle, but it translate more into a highly charismatic person. People see him as a friendly individual with a knack to befriend almost anyone. His job in the real world gave him a natural knack of being able to suade people with his words. The way he acts is seen as noble by some and pompous by others. Though that way of acting can all shatter if pushed too far.

All in all, Basilthorn is still human. He isn’t someone who was coded into the game and before being trapped in their only had a preset personality. He is ever shifting as events unfold around him. The way he acted outside of Second Frontier is almost a 90 degree shift from how he acted during his normal day life. And while he generally remains Basilthorn, the different shift in his life story could change who he was yesterday.

name : Bradley
age : 28
gender : male
occupation : Newspaper Columnist
apperance:

Background:
Bradley was never much of a gamer when he was growing up. His parents thought that games were pointless and a waste of time. So much of his free time went to reading fantasy novels and sci-fi novels that he could find in his local library. Fast forward to a couple of months before getting trapped in Second Frontier and Bradley had managed to land a job at a very popular newspaper firm. And his first assignment was to write an article on a new game being released. That game was Second Frontier.

Bradley was given a beta copy of the game and put installed the game on his work computer. The game began running on the absolute lowest settings, but Bradley was memorized by the visuals. It was something he had never seen before in his life. A completely virtual world being rendered on his computer screen. Slowly, but surely he started picking up on how the game was suppose to be played. The joy he experienced from picking up this game was similar to the feeling he got when he did cocaine for a week back in college.

After his article was published, Bradley had decided that maybe he needed to put the game down for a bit. It had taken up a lot of his free time during the writing process. But even though he tried his best to stay away he couldn't. Bradley had become hooked on an MMO, like so many other foolish people before him. While he was able to find a near perfect balance of social life, work life, and game life. He had realize that Second Frontier was the topi that flashed through his mind over and over again. Whenever he had time to think for himself, he was thinking about Second Life and how he was going to level even more characters. He wanted to be the best at it. He wanted Second Frontier to be his actual life. While life outside the game was perfect; he was well liked, making money, and had a successful future ahead of him. The excitement brought on by playing the game was no match for anything else.

Then Bradley finally got his wish and he truly became Basilthorn.

[IVIasterJay]

Real Name: James Robinson
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance:

In-Game Name: Jay Rayne
Race: Elf
Class: Dualist
Subclass: Criminal (Player-killer)

Appearance In-Game:

About: Offline, James is funny, happy, and always relaxed. He's smart enough and popular with most everyone. He enjoys playing soccer just about as much as he enjoys reading a good book. James' online persona, Jay, is the exact opposite. James enjoys playing the villain in games because he thinks that they's more interesting to play as, and in SFO, Jay is about as bad as a player can be. He is a player-killer, someone who actively hunts other players for their items and weapons. Jay farms noobs for free levels and assassinates higher-leveled players for gear. Some might call it cheating, but James, through Jay, calls it "playing the game".

Jay acts friendly and nice, but the second you let your guard down he'll have slipped a dagger between your computerized ribs. He's gone by the time you've respawned. Experienced players aren't so easy to take advantage of, but a few quests is usually enough to earn their trust. Once that happens, they fall no different than the noobs. Well, slightly different than the noobs: they give better gear. James knows that not every player will fall for his act, and Jay is a very capable battler. Attack and defense? Useless. Health and magic? Boring. Jay is a glass cannon fully invested in one thing: speed. Dual-wielding twin silver rapiers with daggers as backup and for throwing, Jay is a blur on the battlefield. A huge sword or a magical nuke will do a whole lot of good if your character is dead before they can attack. This is usually when Jay's real attitude gets to come out and play. He's an arrogant, cocky, apathetic A-hole. Jay is about the closest thing SFO has to a serial killer.

James bought SFO simply because all of his friends were getting it. He'd never been big into online games, preferring single-player RPGs. Due to a backorder problem, James' copy or SFO didn't arrive until a week after the game was released. He'd planned on playing with all of his friends from the first day and leveling up with them, but that didn't exactly work out. Once he started playing, James was surprised at how much more he like playing online with people he didn't know. As just another nameless person, he could be anyone and do anything. His friends had expected him to play a human warrior class at first since it was his first time really playing this type of game, but he decided to go with something more creative. Since he'd never experienced any other class, he never noticed whether or not it was harder or easier to learn. A few days after James got his copy of SFO, Jay had surpassed James' friends' characters in levels. Who knew that he was so good at MMOs?

[Izaka Sazaka]

Real Name: Alexander Gervais St. Croix
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance:


Personality:
Outside the world of Second Frontier, Alex usually isn’t much of an enthusiast. He likes to take life easy and doesn’t often venture into the world of risk or intrigue. Inside Second Frontier, however, this is all a very different story. Within the game he feels free to express his more lacksidasical side, rarely taking things seriously, though keeping a bit of the good-natured laziness. As a function of being stuck inside the game for so long and having a relatively steady income he’s also become dangerously addicted to gambling in all its various forms.

Backstroy: In the real world, Alex is often constrained by the nature of his work, which involves running an off-shoot branch of a popular and successful computer hard-ware company. He originally joined then world of Second Frontier as a way of escaping the responsibilities of the real world and expressing his often suppressed emotions and feelings. However, as a byproduct of his business know-how he’s become relatively rich in game, something that seems to happen almost naturally (though most of these proceeds are often lost to his gambling addiction).

In addition to his usual escapades and adventures, he also works as a Lore-Master, a sort of dungeon adviser that, for a very small monetary investment, divulges known information about dungeons, areas, loot, monsters, and pretty much anything else a player might wish to know. Not all of this information is 100% accurate, but for most decently leveled groups the advantage of familiarity with a particular dungeon or boss is more than worth the meager investment of a couple of coins.

Caim’s first leveling party was in a grassland area known as the Urik plains, an area which he became very familiar with. This was also the first area about which he began providing information, leading to people giving him the somewhat humorous title of ‘Count of Urik’, which is essentially the countship of nothing.

In-Game Name: Caim Caerleon, Count of Urik
Race: Human.
Class: Necromancer.
Subclass: Lore-Master

Appearance In-Game:

[Leotamer]

Name: Dutch Solan
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dutch is pretty normal, though he doesn't really care about his appearance all that much. He is fairly active, so he isn't fat but he is far from muscular. He has pretty long dirty blonde hair just because he hasn't felt like going to the barbers in awhile. He really wears what ever is clean. Normally it is a t-shirt and some long pants. Most of his t-shirts don't even have designs on them.

He is out in the sun quite a bit, so he isn't pale, but he is very white. He is also quite a slender figure though he isn't anorexic or anything like that. Other than that, his appearance really is unremarkable.

Personality: In the real world, Dutch isn't very out-going or social, and this is mostly true in-game as well. He likes to help people when he can, but is often distance, though when he befriends a person, he normally gets really close with them. Also, in the real-world, he can be a bit more reserved but in game, he tends to be slightly more talkative, for better and for worst.

Dutch is an animal-person, he loves them. At any given time, he almost always had one animal or another, normally several at a time. This is reflected in his play style. He tends to like to summon several animal companions to do must of the fighting while he support spells to help his animals. His favorite kinds of companions are of course canines, though foxes and eagles are along his favorites, but he also likes to use a variety.

Dutch has always hated guides, and tends to just do what ever he wants that feels right. He also likes to use things creatively. He will often use his companions for supporting him even outside of battle. So he made a character with very little defenses, and offensives but plenty of points into summoning, animal handling and supporting and healing. He has also toy'ed around with the idea of shape-shifting, though it is mostly utility based shape shifts for mobility or maybe some special effect that is really helpful.

Back-story: His life was pretty boring. He just went to high school and did boring stuff. He mostly liked to take walks in the park or the forest. He got into the game just by off chance quite awhile back actually. He has played the game for quite awhile now, but really hadn't many friends in game as he keeps to himself.

Ingame Name: Tren Oakwood
Race: Cane (Dog-Like)
Class: Druid
Sub-Class: Beast-Tamer

[Izaka Sazaka]

Also wondering if it would be possible to play multiple characters?

[Hailfire]

I'll betcha' all thought I had left didn't you? Nahhh... Been waiting until theres a good few cs sheets up so I can see what gaps are left to fill. I like doing that.

I will likely be putting up my cs tomorrow. In the meantime I am open to suggestion. What classes/jobs do you guys think the group could do with?

I'm thinking warrior. Probably great knight after looking through whats here. We have no warrior class characters thus far although paragons could almost certainly do the tanking well and theres plenty of damage dealers. Something of a glass cannon without a tank to take the aggro though.

[Damon]

@Izaka Sazaka: As of right now it's only one character per person. It could change though.

@Hailfire: It's totally up to you. I still haven't made a character either yet so I might fill something too. Also we have a 5:1 boy-to-girl ratio xD. I mean, most MMO's are filled with boys so that makes some sense.

[Hailfire]

Lol yeah I noticed the ratio. The avatar ratio is a little more balanced though. That is unless lynx is indeed male... Sorry. Couldn't tell from the pic and I don't think it is specified. We also have no cat people. I will probably play as a cat person. I'm afraid I likely won't be playing a female. I have lots of female characters on the run at the moment and wanna make a male character. I will probably go great knight. I have a couple of questions though.

Firstly. Seeing as it is meant to be a video mmo game setting should we be listing the skills/abilities our characters have and their levels? The rest is basically weapon elaborations for the warrior classes. What is meant by the limited melee weapons for the champion for example and what weapons are the defenders not allowed to use?

[drewccapp]

Lynx is indeed male.

[Damon]

I was thinking skills be created IC as we go because classes each have their own. I think it would make things more creatively fun and free if we did that. And as for levels, I had a thing for levels in the profile skeleton but took it out, I'll be doing something with levels later. And as for limited weapons for certain classes, it is meant to say that champions are more like brawlers and fist-fighters. They are able to use weapons more like bludgeoning weapons ie. maces, flails and NOT swords and whatnot, even though they are of the Warrior class.
It is also my wording that doesn't really specify that they are of a brawler and more fist-fighting class but I just thought people would get it.

[Hailfire]

Haha. Sorry drew. That'll probably become an IC joke just to warn you,

Thanks for the clarification damon.

[Hailfire]

Real Name: Aeisha Harding
Age: 19
Gender: Female.

Appearance real life:

Personality:
Outside of the game Aeisha is down to business with life outside of home often too fast paced to be otherwise. Social time has to be booked ahead of time along with just about any other event she or any other person wants her to participate in. What social time Aeisha does get she tends to over-compensate for the time she's missed, acting overly friendly and getting herself labeled weird. It is perhaps another pointer to who she is that she considers weird to be a compliment. We all aspire to be different, unique and exceptional right? Weird just happens to be a synonym of these things as far as she is concerned. Just to prove her investment in this belief I'll have you know she once thanked somebody for calling her eccentric.

The game is where Aeisha goes to relax as a form of escapism from the stresses of life and, on a bad day, from herself. As such she isn't too goal orientated in game instead preferring to just explore and take things at a casual pace. She sometimes indulges in the roleplay aspects of her character like purring, meowing or hissing to deepen her immersion in the game. If she were to get trapped in the game though one might see more aspects of her personality in real life come through.

Backstory:
Aeisha lives a busy lifestyle, almost living from her small, bright red fiat punto as she travels the country daily to perform sales pitches for her employers curtain lines. What time she does have reserved off work (such as weekends) is largely booked up by recurring club activities such as the latest martial art she has tried or by her rather demanding parents who insist she visit or help with this that and the other. As a result of this the only time in the week Aeisha has that one would really call free time are the few hours before she settles down to bed. It is usually in these hours Aeisha gets in some time on videogames.

Second Frontier is the first game of its genre Aeisha has particularly engaged with. She was inspired to try the game by her desire for a more socially orientated game than the somewhat self orientated experiences she found most tactical shooters or fps games offered and so, encouraged by some of her friends, she purchased the game and her character Felicity was born.

Felicity's race (Aerulus) was picked almost entirely on a whim, Aeisha barely looked at the other races before deciding she wanted the "cute, fluffy cat person" as her in game avatar. The name was picked simply due to its similarity to the word feline and the class (great knight) selected to fill a gap in the party her friends had. Her subclass (dancer) was again picked on a whim although it has proved useful by granting her increased dodge values, higher combo rates and increased receptivity to bard buffs (and debuffs).

These day's Felicity rarely equips heavy armour, instead preferring light armour to grant her an increased carrying capacity for weapons. How many weapons does she need you ask? Not many. It just happens that one of them is an enormous great sword that occupies most of the inventory for things she can carry. The other weapon set she carries is a one handed sword (specifically a wakasashi) and a shield. The reasoning behind this unusual selection of equipment lies in her choice of specialisations within her class tree; taunts and area denial/effect moves. Great swords are reach weapons with immense raw attack power and a sizeable knock-back effect beaten only by certain classes of blunt weapons or some spells. It's hugely wide blade is moderately effective in defending against ranged attacks and a single sweep can hit and knock back multiple enemies in its area. Felicity relies upon this knock back effect and range to avoid taking excessive damage in combat. The sword and shield are back-up weapons for use where such a sweeping weapon might be impractical or mobility is required with the shield taking on the protecting role.

In-Game Name: Felicity-san
Race: Aerulus
Class: Great Knight.
Subclass: Dancer.

Appearance In-Game:

Felicity-san

Felicity-sans' character model is very tall. Her character model just about exceeds most "tall" human characters in height although someone set to the tallest setting available might exceed her height.

Felicitys

Scaled down to fit the character model. Mostly worn without the helm/hat.

Great-sword description

In typical videogame fashion Felicitys' greatsword is massively oversized to the point that in real life it would be ridiculously unwieldy. Stood up vertically the blade alone is almost as tall as Felicity-san; who is not a short aerulus, with the hilt stretching above her head when she carries it on her back. The blade itself is almost a foot wide from its' front to back edge and is constructed from a dark, onyx black shaded metal. It only has one cutting edge which is located at the front of the blade. The back edge is flat so should not cut Felicity should the blade be forced back into her. The hilt is simply constructed with the held section being a foot and a half long and protected by a single thick piece of onyx black metal running from the front of the blade parallel to the hilt before connecting to the base of the hilt via a right angled corner.
