[OOC] Frozen Sea Online

[Daigneault]

This is a rp between Lucius Cypher, Ryonara, Misuchan and myself, please be sure to ask everyone their opinion if you want to join, as this is meant to be a small group rp, thank you!

Alright, then, the basic plot is this: FSO is a viking-like VR game where combat, survival, everyday life and world building take place, our characters being one of the firsts in the game and thus free to get stronger and build the world as they please, with the developers' and the GMs' blessing. The virtual world will start nearly bare, with the players exiting CharGen as your average young viking, with few skills and even less supplies in a small viking camp with a sole boat on a fjord. While this take place, we will be able to switch to the character's real life, from their time alone to their time together in places called Game Cafes. It will be the year 2114, a century from now.

What should we add to that before we start on our characters, guys?

A Character sheet maybe? Also we should figure out if we want our characters to already know each other, or just sort of be strangers. I think it'll be more fun if they knew each other, but we'd need to make them first. I'm also thinking that our characters should be more akin to "Beta Testers" rather than the developers themselves, though not to say that we can't add something if we think it'll be cool.

[Daigneault]

That was the idea, they are not developers, but the first players... sorry if that confused you Dx!

[MisuChan]

What's Viking mean?

[Lucius Cypher]

It's like your character's name. Sort of like my name here is Lucius Cypher, but that's not my real name.

[MisuChan]

This strikes me as very Minecraft-y

So how about you allow people to make "Kingdoms" within the game, (Maybe up to 4 altogether) and if someone wants to join someones kindgom in the game, they can fill out a separate smaller form.

And yeah, I figured that out after I actually read. I just woke up from a nap. xD

Also, shouldn't the character in the game and our character for the role play get separate bios?

[Lucius Cypher]

Well, I'd assume the Bio and personality pertains mostly to out "Real" selves. Since we just made these characters, I doubt they even have much of a back story (Aside from fluff we provide to them as roleplayers).

I like this idea, us as Beta Testers creating guilds that eventually flourish into nations. Sort of like in 1/2 Prince.

[Daigneault]

Yes, the idea was that the world start pretty empty but camps, villages and even cities can be made with enough materials and efforts. Also, Vikings are a bit like pirates who would have lived in the cold north of Iceland and Sweden in the Medieval ages instead of the Caribbeans.

Thank you! xD I tend to be very creative.

And alright. So our In game character wouldn't really have a background, they would just be created out of thin air, like many no storyline characters in say non campaign game modes?

[Lucius Cypher]

Since the game is suppose to be in beta, there isn't really a storyline yet. But as we continue onwards, actually plot will form in the game. Think of this phase as the "Find the bugs and shape the world" before we introduce any big bad guys and such. By than use Beta players would already have a firm foothold in the game world and than we can run it as we please, with a mix of action and drama for all involved.

[MisuChan]

Alright, that makes sense, I like it. very interested. I've always wanted to do something like this.

[Daigneault]

Yup, that's pretty much it, I think, any other question or suggestions? :)

[MisuChan]

Yeah,

Anyone wanna make a kingdom together? xD

[Daigneault]

Let's start with them making a good camp, or they'll constantly resurrect because they will get eaten by wolves or something x3!

[MisuChan]

Well yaaaa! I just meant is anyone wanted to plot or talking about it for the future.

[Ryonara]

I'll be interested in that Misu. It's been a while since I've run for government.

[Daigneault]

I know, I was just teasing you, apologies.

Would the capital be the place where the first camp where they arrived was or somewhere else?

[Lucius Cypher]

I think the captital should be wherever we think it's best, not necessarily camp. Like Minecraft, where you rest isn't always where you put your home.

I think the first thing we should do In Character is for our players to get together and find a place to start the capital city. They'd have camp to rest up and such, but first they must pioneer into the great beyond to set their flag on the land they shall call their own. While fighting off random bad guys on the way.

[Daigneault]

I agree with this plan :)!
Oh, I suggest the place to be guarded by a great monster, making the whole thing even more fitting as an emplacement.
