Sorry guys, I think I'm gonna drop out of this rp for good. My character just doesn't seem like he'll make good connections with anybody, and I've participated very little in the "plot" of this rp. So.... yeah. Bye.
@ReaptheMusic Here's a handy recap of the whole RP, so far. Your last post was just before CC's defeat, so you can read from there onward:
The previous generation of Ebony Strykers had been disbanded for supposed involvement with hacks and other illegal scams, leaving only a lone player, a mysterious avatar named Moon Rider, to take up the mantle of Black King. Without anyone to call allies and no power other than her own, The Black King closed the doors of the Ebony Strykers and isolated herself for years. That is, until about a couple weeks ago, when Moon Rider made a declaration that set the world of Deep Ground Online, especially that of the students of the renowned Purple Crown Academy (the school that all player characters attend to), literally upside down:
“Attention all players. I, the Black King, ruler of the Ebony Strykers, am allowing any and all to join my guild. This will be the first time I have done so. Please, choose your allies wisely.”
This simple event, sparked a chain reaction that caused a true storm through both the online and real worlds.
First, the notorious hacker and Outlaw known by the pseudonym of Corpse Collector declared her intention of taking the head of the Black King, shortly after stealing great treasures of all of the Guilds, except for the Ebony Strykers. In the expanse of a few days a true war, whose high points were the two different battles known as the First and Second Sieges of the Black City, a collision between Corpse Collectors Outlaw army and the newly minted Ebony Strikers and their allies, as well as some neutral parties.
The final result of those events was the destruction of the hacker Corpse Collector, who got banished from Deep Ground,though no one ever found who her real world identity was. The second of the consequences was that the a whole sect of the Sweepers, the group of in game vigilantes that have an equally bad reputation for hacking and, if the rumors are to be believed, punishing people in the real world for their in game misbehavior, joined the new Ebony Strykers. The Sweepers comprise over half of the current Ebony Strykers and their leader, Dark Wraith, has taken a leadership role within the Black Guild, becoming The Black King's right arm.
Once the issue of Corpse Collector was solved, a small period of peace settled in only to be broken by what came to be known as the Ebony Strykers' Civil War, sparked by the resentments of some of their members, against the infamous Sweepers. One of the players who are said to have began the whole issue is known as Eclipse Princess, a notoriously powerful (some would say broken) Avatar, whose real life identity was publicly revealed to be Eris Reinhardt, a transfer student from Germany. At the aftermath of the Civil War, the White King, known as White Sun, has publicly declared her intention of open War against all of the rest of Deep Ground, breaking the non-aggression pact that the Kings had set up between then a long time ago.
And finally, we are brought to the present, a few days after the White King's bold declaration, as well as the public betrayal of Eclipse Princess, who joined the Ivory Masks for reasons yet unknown. The first big real world event, the long waited School Festival, for the students of the Purple Crown Academy is about to happen within a few days and there are news that the usually friendly inter-guild competition will have its stakes raised as the promise of a decisive clue that would help recover the treasure that Corpse Collector stole from the Scarlet Harleys was made.
Oh welcome back Reap. Sorry I couldn't get my post up, new computer finally arrived. Buuuuuut, I've got a lot of free time on my hands today, since it isn't a wonky schedule.
