[OOC] Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

[Little_ninja]

We've only just started, just as great_hellup has stated. Everyone is between level 4-7.

Carla Castro

Name in Real Life:
Carla Castro

In Name Game:
Cascabel

Age:
19, level 5

Gender:
Female

Looks:

She wears a pair of deep green pants and a light green shirt covered by a thin bronze breastplate, shoulder pads and knee pads.

Short Bio:
Born in 2003 to a pair of enthusiastic and optimistic Venezuelans, Carla lived her early years comfortably. They weren't rich, nor were they overly special. But what they lacked in flashy stories to tell, they more than made up for in the way they lived their lives. Leading lives of freedom and passion, the Castro family always followed their hearts and desires instead of their thoughts and fears.

In their eyes, what was a million dollars worth if you worked in a place you hated, doing something that depressed you? Maybe that was why they were constantly scraping the bottom of the barrel for coins to pay their bills. Maybe that was why they had to move out of Venezuela and into Japan when Carla was ten years old. But one thing's for certain--The family never stopped following their hearts, even after having lost their home, their security and social status. Even when they had to live in a cramped, old and dusty place and could barely afford one computer.

As for Carla, she finished High School in a Spanish-speaking Japanese High School, where she learned the country's language. She had no money to attend to University, so instead, she looked for money somewhere else. She was a daring woman, so she had gone to the Police Department and asked for a position in the forces. As expected, they had to make sure she was up to their standards, and after quite a few tests and a lot of training, Carla was accepted into the PD.

The job gave her the money needed to upgrade his family's household a little by little, but she also used some of her hard earned money to buy a new piece of gear that she had always dreamed of having--The NerveGear along with Sword Art Online-- She had to use up her yearly allowed vacations to line up for the game in stores, not to mention emptying her bank accounts once she was given a chance to buy the stuff.

But it was worth it, for once she had entered the world of Sword Art Online, she instantly teared up in emotion and surprise.

Personality:
A passionate, daring woman who fears nothing but Japanese food, mathematics and really interesting men. Her friends know her for her brave and protective nature and her parents for her attentive and wary self. She's an outgoing person. She loves spending time around other people. She loves books, drawing, design and the company of friends. Better yet if she can do the things she likes with her friends.

Sword Skills:
- One-handed Assault Spear
Stab - (1 hit) - A simple piercing attack
Flurry - (3 hit) - Successively stabbing the enemy three times
Sweep - (1 hit) - A wide arc-ed swing, pushing enemies back (low damage, effective for distance)

Skills:
- Acrobatics (inexperienced)
- Sprint (inexperienced)
- Tracking (inexperienced)
- Light Metal Equipment.
- Light Shield Equipment.
- Parry (inexperienced)

Preferred weapon and Armor:
Shield, Assault Spear and Light Metal Armor.

She wears her shield on her back most times, to protects from unexpected strikes. She'll wield it on her left arm once she feels highly threatened.

I'm not sure which skills to add, or how balanced it is at the moment, so please feel free to suggest changes to her skill list.

You get my Thumbs up Frettzo :) Now you just need another.

[Little_ninja]

That looks fine to me at the moment, wait for El_Tigre or Caits to give final approval
Could you separate the sword skills? Makes it a bit easier to see.

By the way guys, thanks for posting your ideas to us. I am about to go to sleep, so post anything else to El_Tigre if you want a quick reply.
Otherwise it will take a while before I get back to you.

[Dlayeth]

My character was level 1 since my last post :P

[Frettzo]

Awesome! Glad to be a part of this, I'll begin work on a post.

Skill Quests said Earning a living

You have an urge to not only attack the monsters, but to earn a living. If not to make a better life for yourself, but those you play the game with. To get started, you must find the basic items for your profession of your choosing. Be careful, for once you have picked a profession; you can never change it again.

Requirements: Simple post what you wish your characters profession to be, and wait for approval
Reward: one of the following professions, the ability to make items or perform that profession, the ability to open a shop

I accept this quest. I wish to become a Performer.

Seriously, I wish my character to become a performer. :P

[TPMkII]

Oh, right. I accept that quest too. I wanna be a blacksmith! Or maybe a chef. A blacksmith chef!

[Little_ninja]

It should be fine to do that
My character won't take up a profession till later

Awesome. If you two incorporate that into a post each, that will be great.

I actually have a quest for a performer In development, so yay

[Frettzo]

I've no idea how to start the quest IC--Any suggestion? Should my character find an old man that tells her about the life of a performer or should she just say out loud that she'd love to be a performer?

[MarshiestMallow]

Go to an Inn. Many inns have performers. Perhaps she could be watching them, then at a break, go up to one of the NPC and ask how she can become a performer, being told that she just has to undertake the earning a living quest, then simply state "i wish to be a performer"

[Frettzo]

Awesome, thanks :p

[MarshiestMallow]

Lol, if the site will let you do it, of course.

[Frettzo]

Longest post I've done in weeks! Hope you like it.

[Dlayeth]

So... what would be everyone's professions then?

[MarshiestMallow]

Suki's a Alchemist.

YaShi is a Blacksmith

Now we have a performer too

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Well, this looks like the development of the classic RPG party. All we need is a ma- wait, never mind. Archers will work.

Jokes aside, I assume the timeskip will hit sometime tonight? Timezone difference is pretty much forcing me to post during your early morning/ late night, which feels awkward when it feels like I'm holding the RP from progressing faster.

[MarshiestMallow]

We haven't discussed a time skip yet, mostly, it just been meeting each other and a few quests. Tigre, Ninja and myself need to discuss timeskips.

We just need TPMKII to reply, before we can continue on.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

By time skip I meant the night to day shift, but alright.

[MarshiestMallow]

Oh, lol. Yeah, as soon as TPMKII replies.
