[OOC] Deep Ground Online

[Ryonara]

I'm still here by the way. I'll try to figure out something to post with Smitten Kitten.

[TheWendil]

A Brief Notification: I've gone ahead and erased all of the RPers/Characters who are no longer active within the RP from the first post of the OOC. The new Interest Check will be up soon to recruit more people, as a majority of the King characters have now been opened up. If I accidentally erased a Character/RPer still active within the RP, please tell me so and I will correct it immediately. That is all.

[Lucius Cypher]

Nice post, I'll try to get one ready myself within the next few days.

[Scarifar]

Meanwhile, should I just take control of the giant dissolution to have it and Daniel fight in a ferocious battle, or should Windel and I collab on it?

To make things go by faster, you can control it.

[Scarifar]

Well, time to get working on my post, which I was too lazybusy to work on earlier.

[Arrayah]

Wow. I saw the interest check and I think I'm interested in this, but that's a lot of reading to do x.x

Anyways, if I do make a character, I would like her to be the green king if that's alright? :D

If so, I'll get a CS done and maybe post some questions about it.

Oh and also hey Windel! (Just noticed you were the GM)

[TheWendil]

Good to hear! It's been quite a while Arrayah :)

I encourage people filling up the King ranks given that they're mostly dead now.

[Arrayah]

It has it has. I was super sad when the other RP died D:

And awesome! I shall get a CS started right away.

[TheWendil]

Let us not mention that last RP and how it flailed out miserably ಠ_ಠ

[Arrayah]

HECK YEAH PRIEST!! WOO...? I picked the only one that doesn't have perks up to level 9 <.< So I only did 4 and 5 for now.

Appearance (Real Life):

Height: 5' 3''
Weight: 120 lbs
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Gray
Name: Lucy Hall
Age: 17
History:
At an early age, Lucy learned that she was different than most people. It wasn't that her mother was dead, though that certainly made her unique, or that her father was a drunk who could not care less about his only child. It was not that she found school to be easy despite her home life, or that she didn't really care about what other people thought of her hand-me-down clothes.

Now, what made Lucy different was how she felt about people. It didn't matter who you were or what you'd done, she would stick up for you, believe in you. Lucy was the girl who cared about everyone. She was the girl who cried when someone she did not know was killed. She was the girl who went to visit people in the hospital hoping to cheer them up and to let them know that they were not alone.

As she got older, though, Lucy became more and more reserved. The way she cared so deeply for people tended to scare off her peers. They could not understand, or chose not to, and instead shunned her. So, Lucy started to keep to herself preferring to be invisible when she was given a choice.

When her uncle bought her a copy of D.G.P, knowing that her father never would, Lucy knew that it was her only way to make a difference in the world. From then on, she did her absolute best to become a top player despite the disadvantage of her chosen class.

It took 3 years for her to become second in the Fanged Rangers. Many people told her that she could have rose quicker if she had chosen a different class or even spec, but Lucy was always reminding them that she would have never wanted to be anything else. Unlike many others, Lucy did not take leadership of her guild. Instead, it was passed on to her when the current Green King was killed. It was the best and worst day of her life.

Just as with her predecessor, the Fanged Rangers have not started any conflicts with other guilds, though they do defend themselves when necessary. Instead, they have started to help lower level players who do not belong to a guild. If not for the threat of being overthrown, Lucy would have her guild help all players regardless of color.

Personality: Lucy is caring to a fault and is always willing to help someone who asks for it regardless of who they are and how it will affect her. Since becoming the Green King, she has had become more careful about who she extends this offer to, but her beliefs have not changed. Because she is so new to leadership, there are very few who even know her identity.

[Arrayah]

Okay so there she is. I did have a question about skills though. Should I be making one for every level? Or just come up with some?

Oh and let me know if I need to change how she got her position. I wasn't sure if there had been a Green King and what happened to him/her.

[TheWendil]

Skills should be one for each level if I remember correctly. Might have to reread the OP myself there, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Green King was murdered via outside Deep Ground in the real world like all the Kings. By all, I mean those who's RPers left.

[Arrayah]

Awesome, I'll just update that part of the history and think of some skills I guess :D

[Arrayah]

Added some skills, let me know about them. I'm perfectly willing to edit or delete anything listed.

[TheWendil]

Accepted Arrayah. Adding to the list. The next GM post will be a time-skip to one month after, so I suggest you introduce Lucy by having her react to the Green King's death and her rise to become King.

[Arrayah]

Sounds good to me. I'll wait until the time-skip then.

[TheWendil]

Next GM post should be up tomorrow.

[MaskedHeroZ]

Finished!
People always tell me I'll be cruel....
Height: 5'6"
Weight:180 lbs
Hair Color: Orange
Eye Color: Brown
Name: Richie Barret
Age: 15
History: Richie was a young boy set on the life of a delinquent and criminal from early on. Being unwanted by his own parents and any potential guardians due to some of the less than ideal events of his birth that he had no control over, he was a ward of the state. Not exactly the kind of situation that inspires growth and kindness, Richie had issues with anger that presented themselves in his schooling and 'home' life, getting into fights and talking back to others. If something didn't change that he would soon find himself in a juvenile jail at the age of twelve.

Luckily for him, someone decided to give him a chance. One of his foster parents decided to give the anger within Richie an outlet with an admittedly strange method They introduced him to video games, obviously more defunct then what was available at the time, Richie still found himself entranced by the worlds and stories they told. He especially grew attached to the heroes because they were like him. They had nothing at times, came from nothing, but they always fought for others or for what was right.

This stuck with him when he received a copy of the Deep Ground Program at age thirteen. The first time logging on was like nothing he experienced in the other games, this time around he was the hero. Or to himself he was. There were monsters to fight, but he found he could also attack his fellow players. 'To be cruel or kind?' became his personal mantra as he tried to maintain his upbringing to his new beliefs, he kept himself in check for the most part, but found that he had no choice but to fight at times for both survival and levels.

Salvation from this moral conundrum came in the form of the Ivory Masks, or more specifically the White King. She had strict rules and guidelines that fell into his lines of thinking, and there would actual consequences if he strayed from them. There was also the added bonus of avoiding unwanted fights due to the guild's more fanatical nature. Of course, once he was settled into the group, he found himself feeling more like a henchman to a more malicious hedonist cause than first impressions gave off. He was in too deep to really quit but he could get stronger for when the chance presented itself.

Unfortunately he never got the chance to deal the White King any blows, as she died outside of the game. Chaos followed her death, m
any of the guild revolting due to the nature of their structure. Richie had no one to help him this time, the delinquent turned hero wannabe turned follower decided to take charge for once and began to stamp out much of the unrest. He took the position of White King for himself, erasing the previous King's legacy and instilling the guild with his own ideals: Redemption and a bright future to all who seek it on the road of ivory, death from the king to those who would disturb that.

Personality: Richie comes off as brash hot-headed young man at first impression. Stubborn and bullheaded, it takes him a while to admit he made a mistake of any sort, but when he does he owns up to it. The same goes for asking for help of any kind, confident in his own abilities and skills, if it's out of his control however he will ask for assistance. Generally it is quite easy to set him off into a rage, but it is also just as quick to calm him down. As per his fascination with heroes, he genuinely cares for the people he's supposed to look out for, as well as trying to still better himself in any way he can.

But I'll show them all what I can be!

[Lucius Cypher]

Awesome, nice that we're getting another king. Only one thing to consider while you're writing up your CS:

The previous White King has been killed, who made her guild specifically to cater to her every whim. They were like a fanatical cult. With that in mind, I expect the new king's transition to power to be something along the lines of instilling order back to the Ivory Masks during their long state of Anarchy. Or something. Just food for thought.
