[OOC] Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

[Scarifar]

This seems kinda fun, mind if I join?

[MarshiestMallow]

OH YES, YOU CAN JOIN!

[Scarifar]

Hmm... at what stage in the rp are we in? Like, how many floors have been opened?

[Lennon79]

1st Floor I think, correct me if I'm wrong. The strategy meeting for the first floor boss is about to begin.

[Scarifar]

Wow, 9 months in play and still only on the first floor? I was expecting quite a bit more than that.

Oh well.

[Lennon79]

From what I've seen, there's a lot of focus on character interaction and such.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

^

Lots and lots of character interaction. We like that stuff here.

[MarshiestMallow]

yes. And a lot of us have had real life stuff interrupting our play. We have also focused on quests as well

[Scarifar]

Name: Alexander Lee

Username: Mythrilite

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Short Bio: In real life, Alexander was nothing really special. Average family of two parents and a younger sister, average grades, average amounts of friends, etc. The only thing Alexander did that was largely different from his friends and family was that he played video games, and quite a few of them. When Sword Art Online first came out, Alexander was thrilled and went to great lengths to acquire a copy.

Personality: A pretty friendly person to meet. If you're in danger, he'll give you a helping hand. Most of the time Alexander tries to use his brain to solve problems, and sometimes does, but usually ends up leaving that to the others and follows their lead instead. He understands the basics on things, like avoiding traps and such, but the more complicated things, like determining where to place players for the best chances of survival, are left to those that are more competent than him.

Skills

Sword

-Slant - (1-hit strike) A simple sword skill slashing diagonally.

-Listening - The ability to hear sounds from further away than normal. Higher level of skill grants the ability to hear through locked rooms.

You know, I just realized the name Alexander comes up a ton in your works. Just something I noticed, means nothing otherwise.

:3

[Scarifar]

It's one of the 4 characters I use with rp's. Press the mechanic, Daniel the pyromaniac, Michelle the sniper, and Alexander, who I still haven't given a clear role for.

@Scarifar

I am happy with this

[chukklehed]

he should join team "everyone on the team so far is a girl"

[MarshiestMallow]

I am going to start working on a post, but it is going to be slow going. So sleepy

[Lennon79]

Are we planning to have both groups take part in the boss fight? If so chukkle and I can direct our lot over there; I can see Tsukiya pushing the point for the loot drops.

[MarshiestMallow]

I'm gonna have paka intercept your group and suggest they go there. Sorry, it's been hard for me to write effective posts lately

[Lennon79]

/thumbsup
Sounds good to me. Could do with more blood in the group to keep things going.

[Lennon79]

Chukkle, do you want to post first or should I? Ninja won't be back til 25th I think he said, so we'll just drag our loli along with us.

[chukklehed]

I thought we were waiting for our newblood to come and pick us up?

[Lennon79]

Given the invite from Paka, it might make more sense to meet him at the meeting unless he posts soon.
