[OOC] Aincrad: Remastered Edition (MMORPG Roleplay, inspired by SAO and Log Horizon)

[NightmareInd]

Welcome to a world full of possibilities. Welcome to a world full of adventure. Welcome, to the world of Aincrad!



This RP is based around people who join the same school. All the players will have a character on this school. Each character gets a copy of a new game, called Aincrad: Remastered Edition, or ARE for short. They only know about eachother buying the game and what their persona's are if they told eachother about this. The game takes place on a floating castle in the sky, with 100 floors. As far as the stats go, you don't have to worry about that: There are none. Your strength will be measured by your skill, not by your stats. However, there is a leveling system: every floor you beat, you gain one level. Say you beat floor 1, then you go to floor 2 and with that to level 2. Every second level starting from 3 (so every 2 floors you beat) will give you the option to get another skill! Talking about skills, here is the skill tree:

As far as skill go, they make up your class. As you make your Persona, you will be able to choose one category from Melee, Range and Magic each. From there, you choose one subcategory. After you've chosen that, you choose if you want to wear Light, Heavy or Magic armor (benefits are below them, you don't have to choose between those yet). Once that is done, you choose 1 passive. Put that all together, and you have your character!

Now, some rules:

make sure to read these!

• Basic RPGuild rules apply. Means no Godmodding, Powerplaying or any of that.
• No OOC conflicts. I want this RP to be peaceful (OOC that is).
• Don't do anything that would get you banned in a real RPG, like glitching items.
• Avoid One-Liners. This is Casual for a reason, and I understand if it happens once or twice, but don't make it frequent.
• Whait at least 2 posts before posting again. Nobody likes spammers.
• Don't ask for airships, or they will never happen. You know who you are.
• Be active. It's okay if you are unable to respond for a week or more, but alert us in advance so we can act like your character was grounded or something alike. If after a week you have not responded and you didn't notify us, you will be kicked out and need to get back in line.
• Post your CS in the OOC before getting accepted. Once that is accepted, put it in the Characters tab.
• Use common sense. If you don't have a good working brain, then how did you even get here?
• Rules can be added any time, and you have to follow these all the time.

Next, it is time for the Character Sheet!

just copy everything inside here for your CS and replace everything with {}

More to come later.

Here come the game mechanics!

more details to be added

- Shields can't be chosen as starting gear

- Choosing ‘Hunter’ will grant more chance for craftable drops (Otherwise nobody has the edge of others in terms of drop chance)

- Forging is a combination of quality of forge, hammer, material and skill level. Acts as a 5 minute mini game

- Party drop systems are defaulted to ‘Roll for loot’. Players roll between 1-100 to obtain the loot. Highest roll wins.

- Cosmetics and some pets will be available in the cash shop, along with some DLC missions which will be added later.

- Certain gathering skills can be used on certain mobs in the field to obtain materials. Eg, Farming skills can be used on sheep to gain wool.

- Normal fights against minions you can just do as much as you want, just make it a bit realistic. Mini Bosses are the same, but remember that they are mini bosses for a reason. Floor bosses I (NightmareInd) will control. Also remember, it's no shame to die. It's an MMO after all. RPvNPC (Roleplayer versus Non-Playing Character), which is basicly PvP against neither of us, equals a mini boss, but RPvRP (Roleplayer versus Roleplayer), which is PvP against one or multiple of us, will be a collab post.

- Magic spells are obtained via Tomes, which are rare drops, sold in certain shops or earned from quests. These are tradeable and sellable. Everyone starts with 1 basic magic spell.

- Elemental weapons can be forged. Elemental buff spells upon weapons will be added later.

- Spells are cast by saying it’s name in Dovahzul

- Spells can be cast whilst on the move, unless it’s a powerful spell (with a long name)

- Currently, Floor 2 introduces ranged weapons, and Floor 3 new combat possibilities with the skills that are going to be unlocked.

- You cannot be hurt within towns.

- To perform a power attack, just focus your energy on your weapon, make it glow, then attack the opponent.

- You have Hostile, Neutral and Timid mobs. Hostile will attack you on sight, and have a red icon above their head when you look straight at them. Neutrals only attack when you attack them first or an ally and have a orange icon. Timids will always try to run away from you once spotted and have a blue icon.

And last but not least: the Frequently Asked Questions.

FAQ

Q: Are there going to be races apart from humans?
A: Yes, all humanoid races that I find not OP and fit the theme are acceptable.

Q: Are there going to be airships?
A: If you stop asking about it there will.

Q: How many people can join this?
A: Around 10 people max.

Q: What is Anti-Power?
A: Anti-Power is a style of unarmed combat where the user blocks bloodlines, relaxes the muscles, destroys the chi, whatever you want to call it, to weaken the opponent. This means that by a few hits your opponent gets some debuffs like lower regeneration.

Q: What is Clearvoyance?
A: Clearvoyance is a Light-Magic skill that makes you able to determine enemy stats and skills in advance. This is especially good for scouts, as they can warn for strong incoming enemies.

Q: I want to join this. Is this full?
A: As long as it says Apply on top of the topic, it is open. Right now it is full because a lot of people already reserved a spot at the interest check, so only they can still join.

Q: I have an idea for a weapon, can my character have it?
A: Yes, after a certain point in the RP, people can either forge or pick up unique weapons. If you want to reserve such weapon: PM me.

Q: I don't want a range skill. Can I leave it open?
A: No, Range skills are required to have 1 of them. You don't have to actually use the skill, but you need to have one just to make sure you don't use other ranged weapons when you are just in the mood to use them.

Q: I want multiple passives, but I can only get 1. What do I do?
A: Don't worry, Passives can be achieved after every skill upgrade. However, you start off with just one to make it a bit more fair.

@CallMeChaotixJust letting you know, most RPs here seem to reserve the characters tab for accepted characters, and that you should probably use the character sheet the GM has made for this. ^^;

...In fact it's listed in the rules for this RP that you're to post characters in the OOC first.

@CallMeChaotix

@Rin is right, it also said in the rules to post in OOC first and after accepting it you could place it in the character tab.

[CallMeChaotix]

I'm writing it down now. :P

[Damiann47]

Huh thinking I could go for this, but I noticed you set a cap for players, so is there still room?

[CallMeChaotix]

I may have messed the profile up a little bit.

[CallMeChaotix]

Unfortunately I cannot give any images for my character.

[Crimson Raven]

Like this?

Name: Kincaid Venture
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Personality: Kincaid is rather calm and collected. It seems like nothing fazes him. He also has a smart mouth ready to shoot off at anyone in authority or anyone trying to intimidate him. However, Kincaid is also hardworking and practical when he needs to be. He's skilled at deception and a good liar. He does not get along well with others and prefers to spend most of his time alone. Sometimes when he is alone he broods on philosophy.

Biography: More or less average. Good grades, moderately wealthy, only one parent, and a little sister.
Other: He is ambidextrous. He takes kendo. He can play a guitar. He is terrible at remembering names, so he gives out nicknames. No, he does not bleach his hair, that is it's natural color.
In-Game Character:

Araris

Name: Araris
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Personality: Araris is calm and cool, even under pressure. He has a easy-going personality, and he is hard working. Generally speaking he has a good sense of humor, but he also has a mild temper. He can be more than a little arrogant and stubborn, he defiantly doesn't take orders very well. He is a thrill-seeker and has a lust for adventure that is without equal. He is very reckless, which can result in him diving head-first into ridiculously dangerous situations without a second thought and a smile on his face. His loyalty to his friends is unquestionable, if you are able to win it. He can be hesitant to commit himself, but once he does, he sees it through to the end never giving his second best. He has a knack for strategy, but at the same time is more of a loner.

Current Loadout: Basic
Skills:
Melee: One-handed: Slash
Range: Throw able: Explosive
Magic: Light: Healing
Armor Type: Heavy
Auras: Buff: Attack Speed
Crafting: N/A
Gathering: Hunter

[CallMeChaotix]

I kind of suck when it comes to things like these. Sorry but I tried my best and I'm a noob to this site.

[CallMeChaotix]

I cannot find any good images for my character sadly. So he doesn't have any images right now.

[NightmareInd]

@Damiann47 if you read the FAQ, you can see the other spots are reserved for the people from the interest check. Unless someone drops out, I can't add you yet.

@CallMeChaotix Pls dont double post as much. Also, your post could be worse. There just some things you need to change first.

1. Remove the / at the first center.
2. Remove all the { and }.
3. If you dont have to add anything, don't leave the tutorial text laying around. Remove it.
4. Use sub-categories. What kind of melee do you use? Tomahawks should be slashing. What kind of elemental magic does he use?

Furthermore, it looks pretty good. If you can't get a picture, try a description. Also, if you don know what I mean, take @Crimson Raven's CS for example.

Talking about @Crimson Raven, You're CS is good, but I counted the amount of people we have, and it seems you are number 11. If it doesn't get too crowded you can join because you were on the interest check before I posted the OOC, but otherwise you can't :(

[Crimson Raven]

@NightmareInd *sigh* Alright.

[boomlover]

Can i still join ? Please tell me i can still join

[NightmareInd]

@boomlover you can, you were like the 2nd or 3th to join the interest check.

[Rekaigan]

I'll post up a character later today, since I'm actually kinda busy. (But that doesn't mean I'm giving up my spot!!)
