Profession: Stagehand, runs the sound and light systems at a local music venue

Biography/Personality: For as long as she can remember, Annabelle Wolfe has been invisible. That isn't to say that people literally cannot see her, or even that they actively avoid her, as neither is the case. Sometimes, she knew, people were shunned because of some offense they had committed, or because they were simply different enough from the rest of society to be hated. This was not what happened in her case People never seemed to hate her. She'd never given them any reason to. Yet whenever she entered a room, she went unnoticed. Of course, she freely admitted it was her own fault. The way she stood, defensive and unconfident; they way she spoke, a voice so soft it could be mistaken for a whisper; the black hooded coat that she never seemed to take off- none of these things screamed "Hey, look at me!" (In fact, she thought at one point, the coat probably says "Hey, I'm shady criminal or something...")
It was kind of a lonely way of living, but Anna liked it that way. If nobody ever saw her, she'd never have to face her insecurities. Though she was versed in the art of swordplay (an aspect of theater choreography she'd found particularly fascinating) and was not easily shaken by the problems of the world, vulnerability terrified her. She hadn't grown up among friends in whom she could confide. Instead she'd grown up watching people. People as a whole, she discovered, hated weakness. She could never let them see that she was weak. To be hated like that... it had to be worse than being invisible. And she was certain that if they knew her, they would hate her. After all, she was a pretty quirky person behind all that silence. So she kept quiet, and kept watching.
Anna liked machines better than people sometimes. Machines, she knew, didn't judge you. Neither did video games (Well, if they did it was based purely on skill.) In the few years she'd spent in college, she had also found a great love for the theater, and being a stagehand had come naturally to her. So it was that she decided how to spend her time. She enjoyed her days at work, and spent most of her free time in the arcade. Occasionally she'd enter bookstores or libraries for information on weapons and fighting- searching for new styles to incorporate into the play she was writing, but most of the time she was too lazy. The arcade required much less effort. And if she ever tired of that she could always go back to people-watching.
Yet even though she was always doing something she enjoyed, she couldn't help but feel that something was missing. As she watched people at concerts and events laughing and cheering together, it made her kind of sad. She saw how people talked to each other, how they burst into fits of giggles at inside jokes, how they paired off together and spoke of love (once she'd even caught a couple of the members of one of the performing bands making out behind the stage), and she began to wonder if a complete lack of human interaction was really okay. What if they didn't hate her? What if she could laugh with them? What if she could be loved? But no, it was all too terrifying. She'd stay quiet, she decided. They'd never get to know her. Yet deep down, so deep that even she would not acknowledge it, she wished for someone to try.

SAO: Shadows

Awesome, thanks :)

SAO: Shadows

Thanks for the input :) The "jobs" you mentioned would already be allowed under professions, and a lot of the classes would fit into subcategories of what's already there. (Ex. Red Mage, Battle Mage, Talisman User, Enchanter, etc. would all be hybrid of the "Mage" base category.) The base classes are meant to be rather broad categories so that players can become any of the things you mentioned. They're all definitely great character types. Also, I love the idea of having multiple races for initial character creation ^_^

Do you mind if I repost the your class list in the OOC thread of the RP? I think it will give people good ideas for making their characters.

Rise of The New Paragons

Brick woke up with a pain in his neck. It was unusual... pain. He really hadn't felt it much since since his transformation. He hadn't felt like this since he'd puled his neck muscles during a particularly strange and intense workout. But that was back when he was still trying to get stronger. That was before he could take bullets to the chest without so much as a scratch, before he could bench press a semi truck. That was when he was Bryce.

The pain brought him back for a moment, the black-haired boy with the crooked smile. That kid had been so weak, so dumb. Brick definitely wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box, but Bryce had been downright stupid. He had always thought, somewhere in the back of his tiny skull, that people could be good. He'd wanted those bullies to accept him. Yes, Brick remembered the bullies. Evil children with their cruel laughter. They hated him for no reason at all. And he hated them. Fire burned in his stomach, drowning out his neck pain. Bryce was afraid of them, but he was not. Not anymore.

"Bryce gone!" He grunted aloud. "Brick here!"

He tried to picture their faces, to make himself more angry, but the images would not come. They were simply fragments, burried pieces of a shattered mind. He couldn't see them anymore. He couldn't remember their names. But he knew he would find them again. The black-haired boy... what was his name? He'd said it only moments before. Oh well, it wasn't worth remembering. He'd face it again, he knew, the next time he looked in a mirror. He'd know the weakling's name then. He saw it in his own face. And then he'd forget.

"Brick here!"

He spoke again, this time with angry determination. Where was "here" anyway? The room was dark. Where had he been before here? He couldn't remember. That wasn't really a suprise, considering his short-term memory only usually lasted about an hour. Happy... he thought. Before the pain, he'd been happy. So he was probably hitting something. Yes, Brick loved hitting things! That was as far as his train of thought would go before being completely derailed. Now all he could think about was hitting things. Massive arms flailed in the darkness, smashing into the concrete floor, the walls, and what felt like a table. Brick had broken many tables...

"Brick here! Brick here!" He started chanting in a low voice. He wasn't sure what it meant, but he was pretty sure he'd said it recently. There was no pain anymore. He laughed, arms still flailing. "Brick here!"

"They ain't callin' attendence, moron!" A voice interupted his chanting. It was a puny voice, male fro the sound of it. Brick looked around, franically trying to identify the speaker, but he still couldn't see in the dark. He swung his arms along the ground now, trying to smash whatever was talking. Annoying voice, he thought. Smash the annoying voice. But he could feel nothing. Finally, he decided just to talk to it. Maybe the voice could make the dark go away.

"Not moron," he corrected it. "Brick!"

The voice scoffed "Yeah, I got that part. Don't suppose you'd know why they brought us here?"

Brick grunted, confused.

"Yeah, didn't think so. What the hell kinda transport was that anyway?"

Suddenly, the lights switched on. "Apologies for the lack of accommodations," yet another voice broke through. "Welcome to the Outcasts."

Plot Arc 1: The First Game

(Tried to Stay true to the SAO concept, but the story will largely end up being determined by the players and how they interactwith each other. But hey, that's how RolePlaying works! :) )

Every gamer worth their in-game currency was excited for the release of Virality's latest addition to the world of virtual gaming.
