[OOC] Sword Art Online: Second Server

I personally don't see how that would be unacceptable. After all, I don't think the Blood Dragons would broadcast who their members are when they go to such lengths to hide their identies. It'd probably be a lot like a spy agency- you can't be totally sure that they're a spy, unless you yourself are a spy as well, ya know?It just seems like they would keep their membership a secret, so HAVING friends outside would be fine, just revealing your membership to the BD's, or your identity while amongst non-BD members when in uniform, etc. would be the banned stuff. After all, part of the reason they hide everything about them is cause they don't want any weaknesses, but I doubt that that automatically means you can't have friends outside the guild, but that you can't make them into a weakness for you or the guild itself.Or something like that maybe?

SO get rid of the Blood Dragon armor before talking to people who aren't in them and make sure they don't find out any of that stuff?
Got it!

Oh, we are getting into the talk about relationships? I'm in, then! :P I imagine Ann knows a good part of the frontline players because of her work, as well as any player who likes custom made things, so anyone up for being friends or associates with her? :D Also, I'm guessing many people know Hazard due to his work too, but he wouldn't be much of the type to be friends with just anyone, maybe 'acquaintances' would be more precise with him, for anyone who has contracted his services or Hazard has taken an interest into, or has any info of.

Due to his Lone Wolf nature, I'm sure Mark would be very happy to have a person he could (kinda) trust forging his future weapons, armor, and some other odds and ends. I believe it would take actually meeting due to Ann's fame or something of the like, as when going out alone- you gotta have the best you can buy.

Really, it seems only Logical.
Like in Skyrim, if you go into a hold with a large bounty in said hold- people will attack/run away from you. Get rid of the bounty and nobody will bother you for a while. Kinda the same idea.

I don't know is Alex would don a mask when she's hunting down PKers so it's hard to tell whether much people would know about her. Also, she's a solo player so I guess she would only have connections through boss-fights?

Boss fights and little stumble-upons probably. A bit like how Kazuto and Klein met in a way....but like ya know, AFTER the first day.

I do see Ann trying to help Mark not only because of his nature, but also cause of his personality. Maybe she would also offer to go out in a party with him to at least keep an eye on him, kinda like someone she'd like to protect, despite how he acts and yet, someone she keeps an eye on, just in case. :P

[The Silver Paladin]

I actually see Remus kind of Acting as everyone's defender. He's kind of the "Knight-Errant" Character.

Are you guys still accepting characters?

So in case of such a definition of it: then yes, he does.While probably more minor than it would generally be perceived, his personalities would follow such a guideline.I suppose that should be true.

I could remove it if you want then, and see if I got any sort of Spear moves to think up of....as there are NO actual spear sword skills published at all =_=. Also, yeah, Blood Lust would in many ways be an applicable discription I suppose. I was thinking along the lines of an Adreinal high that allows for faster cognitive fuction or something. Either discription would work....I think I might have read too many advanced psych things now x.x.And yeah, think of the negative effects like a slightly more controlled blood lust. You can tell who your friends are, but if they get in the way of the battle: then they're just more enemies.And I didn't want to go look up a picture anyways cause

In terms of your personality that's fine then. I just wanted to make sure I (and others) understood.

You can keep the skill but I would emphasise the dangers and drawbacks. You could potentially read it and think "oh, that might be a bit OP", but as long as you don't turn your player into a Kirito in the IP then I have no problem.

---

In terms of Blood Dragons Plamza has hit the nail on the head. They can have friends and stuff, but they must not (or at least shouldn't) disclose their membership to BD. If they didn't have friends and lives outside the guild then they would have no weaknesses to hide or protect.

I'm glad to see people talking about relationships before the RP starts. I don't mind people knowing Hawke either of course.

Alrighty, I understand that. Really, I put the "proper" version in the character bin by accident/stupidity, but it's suppose to be a mental process increase for a short duration, and less of an actual full stat booster. I suppose AGI/DEX would be the most likely to be actually effected, but yeah, that's it. And I'm right for once! AWESOME!

And that sounds kinda like how I would act if I wasn't the "Follower" and I was the "Leader" when it comes to a pair and social events. Mark doesn't generally like social events, but he would be a bit more open with a bunch of gamers aroundhim.

Alright, then Romulus will be friends with you guys! Friendship!

Aren

Real Name (Optional): Isabella Vongeif

Character Name: Aren

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Beta-Tester?: Yes

Personality:
Isabella is...cold when around people she doesn't know, she doesn't mean to be cold or anything like that, it just out of habit and safety for herself. When in the presence of others she is in particular quiet and keeps to herself unless spoken to, it's just been one of things that she developed from being bullied as a kid. If she happens to smile at you with in a day of meeting you, that means she has taken quite the liking as she doesn't do that quite often, if ever. When around strangers and friends it gets awkward for her, because one moment she is nice and the next she could be quiet and to the point. She is what anime people call a Kuudere, someone who is extremely cold to others until opening up to them.

She has a very very bright side when she talks with Tanner, one that she shows almost little to no one. She almost acts like a little kid when around him, showing her loyalty to the man. To anyone smart, they could see that she has a huge connection with him, one of those kinds that seems like she thinks of him as a brother. She acts extremely protective towards him, of course party because he saved her when she was a kid, but mostly because she has enormous respect for him. She also acts like a mother around him, making sure he has everything and is in top shape. or is on time. it's not that she does it on purpose, but she wants him to succeed. This can apply to friends as well, but she is very untrusting of others.

Brief Real Life Background:
At a young age, Isabella was a troubled kid. She wasn't able to make friends with many for some reason, and this made her an outcast. Not many, even her own brothers and sisters liked to be around her. She found at a young age, that people were cruel, and she struggled with dealing with it. She came from a rich family that gave her everything she wanted, but they weren't able to give her friends. Being both rich and an outcast, she was bullied intensely. It caused a number of mental issues but the biggest one being trust and faith. Around her eighth year of schooling, she almost gave up, girls beat her up, boys spreaded rumors. She almost stopped going to school entirely.

That was until she met a boy, named Tanner Strongsmith. He was a transfer student and was completely new to the place. At this point and time the whole school, including teachers, shunned and outcasted Isabella. On the first day, Tanner witnessed Isabella getting bullied, and pushed around and he fought an entire group of boys. Effectively getting sent to the office on the first day and then shunned as well. It took Isabella a long time to friend him, fearful it was just a trick the others had thrown at her. A twisted one at that, but slowly they became friends. it was solidified after Tanner promised to teach Isabella how to fight. After that nothing could stop the two from haing out every day and night. That was eight years ago, now Isabella has moved in with Tanner in an apartment and they're room mates. Tanner was the first to introduce her to VRMMORPGS and together they played the beta of a game called Sword Art Online. When it was released, they went out and bought the game together, not knowing about the truth of what SAO really was until it was to late.

3 Main Skills:
-Katana (Upgraded from One-handed Curved Blade)

-Acrobatics

-Sprint

Special Skill?:
Lilith's Blade-
Aren must be in movement in order to use this move, this move can only be used once, before having to sheath her sword again. Lilith's blade allows for a quick and rapid slash, when drawn. It increases Aren's speed dramatically and causes a vertical slash attack to the enemy it is used on. It targets only one enemy at a time. It does a substantial amount of damage if it hits.

Other Skills:
-Meditation

-Parry

-Straining

Current Weapon:


Lilith's Demise
Obtained after killing a Dungeon along with Tanner, they two maned in attempts to get strong and she earned this blade.

Current Armour:


Everything Excluding the Sword, it's extremely light, causing a lower defense stat, but allows her to move faster

Play Style (Optional): Lone-Wolf (Scared of Losing others)/Duelist

Jaeger

Real Name (Optional): Tanner Strongsmith

Character Name: Jaeger

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Beta-Tester?: Yes

Personality:
Honestly, it is a bold claim he makes, that he can make a friend out of anyone. It is true, Tanner is quick to consider most individuals friends, but this is a error of his judgment. When he meets someone, he quickly learns the greatest portion of who they are. Before introductions have concluded, he can understand a person as if they had been his dearest friend for their whole life. Better still, he becomes as listener, a friend, a helper. This level of intimacy often plays to the advantage, allowing him to discuss with his audience, the intricacies of who they are. The challenge being, who Tanner has had to deal with a majority of the time. Since he became an outcast , there is a gap in how he acts and talks. Unfortunately, he experienced things because of this fact and it skewed how he is towards others. In the complex workings of his mind, he finds that now he is more willing to make friends then before.

He also has a bit of a protector complex, a big fault in him actually. It's led to some pretty bad situations, but that's who he is. He tries his best to help everything and one. He will come to the aid of almost anyone and help them with the situation if it comes to that, a complete opposite of his best friend, and partner stuck in SAO with him. You can truly rely on Tanner to help you with almost anything and rely on him to hold on to his promises.

Brief Real Life Background:
Tanner was a pretty simply boy in his child hood, his father was a well known mixed martial artist from his home town. He was taught at a young age to stick up for people who couldn't do that themselves, and then teach them how to protect themselves in hope that they would no longer need to be protected and become the pretector. He made friends and was your average joe, until his father died and he was forced to move in with his mother. There he came in to contact with a girl that changed his life. Watching her get bullied and pushed around, he fought and protected her, however this marked him for some reason that he was not aware of as an outcast and a trouble maker. He wasn't even able to be friends with the girl who kept pushing him away, or ignoring him. Though slowly a friendship molded and they soon became inseparable.

In high school everyone assumed the two were dating, but in truth they were the best of friends no one could mess with. After teaching Isabella to fight, they soon began stepping up to the bullies in high school and fought together to help out others. Though Isabella only jumped in when Tanner asked, she was a lot less trusting. Scared of getting hurt and only really stuck to keeping Tanners back. After Tanner and Isabella graduated, they moved in together into an apartment and started the next phase of their lives with their arms open. Tanner soon began to find joy in VMMORPGs and slowly got Isabella invested into it. And together they played the beta of a ground breaking game called Sword Art Online. Then when it was released, they bought the game, but they had no idea what they set themselves up for, no one did really.

3 Main Skills:
-Two-handed Battle Axe

-Heavy Metal Equipment

-Extended Weight Limit

Special Skill?:
Lilith's Berzeker-
This ability is activated when Tanner dips into the red zone of his health. When activated his strength and defense is greatly increased, making him become a hulk effectively. It last for thirty seconds, after which he is rendered useless and must either pull out of battle or die.

Other Skills:
-Sprint

-Howl

-Meditation

Current Weapon/Armor:


Lilith's Berzerk Set
Obtained in a dungeon with Aren, it greatly increases Tanners health and defense, however it lowers his speed and mobility greatly.

Play Style (Optional): Tank/Frontal Assault

Romulus would be willing, but Hes a member of the top guild so, it's a bit iffy. Remus however will protect you with his life! Both would be willing to be your friend. Kyle? Can Romulus have friends from outside the Blood Dragons?

That would actually be pretty good, since Umiko is so shy. It'll give her someone to cower behind in a social situation. XD

I think my character would be inclined to pick on her, heheh

Hahaha! That could actually be pretty funny, Umiko is pretty easy to tease. XP
