Sparks stared onward at all the new players joining in, one had even created a robot. With over a thousand employees working on every aspect of the imagination models this game had to offer, he had never had the chance to browse through every detail. He dealt with the mechanics and brain imagery mostly, he knew he would be seeing some old favorites from the previous games that he had more of a hand in creating. The robot seemed to obey pretty well, and it's motions were flawless, this was truly a reality unlike any that he had the pleasures of seeing.
Smiling he got up off the fountain and walked towards the entrance of the Village, he might as well give the monsters a few shocks.
Outside the village hundreds of players were now attacking the pheasants that outnumbered them greatly, somebody brushed past him, blood dripping from their side. Shock on their face - The virtual reality simulator could not stimulate pain in the player. But in the mind pain is an emotion, this caused the player to believe they were injured. The player if highly damaged would have distorted vision and fear.
Walking down the path he found an empty spot with a few pheasants gathered around a tree. lifting his hand he felt the electricity tingling at his fingertips, launching his hand forward a bolt shot towards a pheasant, an arc scattered around the birds. A health bar appeared over each of them as they lost a little health. The first one was nearly dead from the impact, the arc hadn't had such an effect on the other four.
Smiling awkwardly as the pheasants glared in his direction, Sparks cried a little inside. The first pheasant was still alive, And it had some pissed off friends!
Screaming out loud as he darted in the opposite direction with his hands out in front of him Sparks let out a war cry and shot tethers of electricity behind him every chance he got. Most missed their targets, but some were dead on. Still screaming he spun around to try and finish off the last one. To late, it was already on top of him, wailing his arms back and forth he kept shooting the pheasant.
"WHY ARE YOU NOT DYING?!" He pleaded insanely to the pheasant as it pecked him in the chest. In mid thought about why the pheasant wasn't dying a hud popped up in the corner of his vision telling him the name of the creature "Evil Pheasant Lv2" Using flash step he turned into a lightning bolt and flew about 5 yards away. Casting more flashes of electricity toward the beast before it went down, burnt to a crisp from the current. Falling to his knees he gasped for air, "I am Sparks, the lightening god! Pheasant slayer. . ." He let out his new motto, probably going to be revised, rewritten and destroyed, but at this moment it felt good to say it.
Walking over to the burnt pheasants he laughed before their bodies vanished. "I win." he said finally.
A notice popped up in view, the killing rewards. [3 Gold, 1 refined bow.]
Pulling out the bow he looked it over. "thanks, I don't need this!" he shouted as every player looked in his direction before most of them started killing more pheasants.
"Maybe it's worth selling. . . " he muttered as he walked towards more pheasants. "Worth millions... yeah, millions."
Tradesman: I'll give you 3 gold for it.
Sparks: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!

Yeah, go. Sorry, as soon as the server went up it would be all over the news and Television.
Also! before everybody starts trying to kill other players or NPC's in town, keep in mind that there are level 300 NPC guards positioned up all around every city to kill misbehavior.
Oh, if you die - you will become a ghost until you decide to respawn at the nearest city. (You don't have to walk back to the city, you can just "revive" yourself.) If you die, you will lose a portion of what is in your inventory. Lets just make it simple and say you lose a quarter of the gold that is in your inventory. There are banks located around every town that will assist you in keeping your gold safe. (You can access your gold from any bank, no matter where you stored it.)
Player killing can be dangerous - Killing a player can put bounties on your head, giving rewards to anybody who kills you. The more you kill, the higher the bounty - the more people will want to kill you. Example: Kill 3 people - 3x the bounty price, You also start losing equipment the higher the bounty is.
(High bounties do not disappear until the multiplier hits 0.)

Basically, I'll give an example. Each class should have their strengths and weaknesses, a warrior should have heavy armor, because a mage wouldn't be strong enough, and a ranger couldn't be quick with it.
the job change at 10 is not necessarily required, nor is it a game changer.
Say you started as a ninja,
Class: Ninja
Passive: Assassins touch - High critical chance
Passive: Acrobat - Lighter body able to climb and jump quicker
Skill: Shuriken strike - Spray shurikens dealing medium damage, High chance of crit based on Assassins touch level.
Skill: Twin fold blades - Quickly strike 3 times dealing massive damage
At level 10, the option for this class would be to continue in the Ninja field - Become a Ninja Master (so on and so forth, learning stronger Ninja based skills.)
So that would be a 'pure ninja'
Now say that you do not want to focus on Ninja related skills, Keeping the ones that you have learned, you would move on to a more primary class.
So if the ninja decided to become a master wizard, they would be Ninja > Master Wizard. You would still be able to keep all of the skills you had when you were a Ninja, as well as learn basic ninja skills in the future (say a few more passive.) But your Primary will have changed. At the next milestone (probably 30) You will be able to do the same.
remember, if you decide to stay pure to whatever class you start as - the skills will be powerful. Although combinations of classes, Say if somebody were to start out as a Cleric (healing/buffing class) and decided to change primary jobs to a warrior or trojan(dual wielding weapon class) In a battle they would have an upper hand at healing themselves and giving themselves buffs. The promotion at 10, and 30 are intended so that people can go out on their own and solo dungeons and quests if they chose to. Bring more to the team if they are on a team.
I hope this cleared things up.

IC is a go.
Litheal's eyes cracked open, still trying to get used to the sun shining through the windows. He had fallen asleep in the shower again, a good way to start the morning. Falling down the stairs he found himself standing in front of one of his butlers.
"Good one sir." The man spoke jokingly looking up towards the carpeted stairs, "The launch is today sir, you are given the honor to initiate the servers."
Litheal nodded rubbing his head from where he had bumped it, "I thought I was paying people to do that kind of stuff."
"Indeed sir, although you should be .. . -" Trey the butler had started to say but was silenced by Litheal's hand.
"I know Trey, I get it - I was just being sarcastic." Litheal said walking over to a black lounge chair, on top of it was the final product of the Haven headset. "It feels like yesterday when I came up with Haven, do I still have a desktop sitting around Trey?"
Trey was in the process of talking to a maid, looking over "Sir? I think it might be in the storage unit."
Litheal nodded slowly picking up the headset placing it on his head, his body went nearly limp as it fell back into the chair.
Welcome to Haven
The words appeared suddenly over a black backdrop, as they were quickly erased before the words 'Tabula Rasa' appeared. He had chosen the latin phrase for it's meaning, "Clean Slate" also a description of a newborn. The words seemed to be flying up, looking up Litheal knew that they weren't moving, it was his character that was falling.
Hitting the ground, he immediately stood up, the only light in the darkness was on him, in front of him was a mirror.
"Hello, what is your name?" An NPC showed up beside the mirror, she was sparkling in a dress with bows in her hair. "I am here to assist your character creation process."
Litheal looked at the mirror examining it, his reflection was not him anymore - it was a complete gray figure. same body shape, same tone.
Looking at the NPC, "Panda"
His character turned into a Panda.
Switching his character to an elemental, he selected the best looking robes that would fit him. Selected his skills and the NPC sent him to birth village.
Birth Village was only suppose to be a temporary training area for new players, he knew how to play this would not be an area that he would want to stay at for to long. He spawned in next to a fountain, NPC's walked through the village going about their computer needs, whatever they were programmed to do.
This was probably the most peaceful this village will be in a while - soon the servers would be open and people would be crowding this small town square. Leaning against the fountain he lifted his hand looking at the detail. Electricity flowed between his fingers with a current. "Cool."
Swiping his hands thinking about television a small display hud appeared in front of him floating in thin air, it was the press release of the game opening today. There were people all over the world continuously trying to join the server. Swiping his hand again he got the developer menu, typing in thin air he opened the servers.
"Bring em on." He smiled closing everything in front of him, returning to play with the electricity in his hands.

----------
IRL Character
Name: Litheal Crane
Age: 22
Background:
Litheal lives alone, in a solitude of the estate that he owns, his company is run by those who take orders from him - living with a severe paranoia and OCD he designed Haven to escape, without having to leave his mansion. He wanted to feel what it was like to be outside, without having to leave his room. The only people who know his face are the select few servants he has hired, the guards at the gate - and his sister, who has found his hatred for the world amusing. He had intended on creating a seperate server for himself, so that he did not have to mingle with other people - live a life in Haven, peacefully. But she insisted that he join the public server, the only server available. He went through the codes, the programming - encrypting everything. Everything was server side, behind a firewall that he had programmed with an AI so no hackers could beat it. His education was minimal, meaning he only attended a few years before realizing that he did not belong in an educational environment.
Litheal designed the game to not only live up to his expectations, but to see how far he could take technology. The game itself was unlike any other, You were not in control of a powerful creature, you were you - in a costume. The gameplay would resort to how capable the player, not solely based on the players character. If an overweight player decided to play a nimble assassin, they would find themselves exhausted. The game not only uses the players thoughts, it also requires the player to play back what they want to happen. The testers had not known this once they went through the tests, a lot of them were . . lets say not in good physical condition, an hours worth of playing the testers were covered in sweat and physically and mentally exhausted. A lot to expect from a game that requires absolutely no physical movement.
Litheal figured he would join the game, not altering his appearance to much. Knowing full well that nobody would recognize him. His secret was sacred to him, he did not need a fan club in his escape from reality world.
Sparx you will have to combine mage and assassin at level 10, other than that it looks good. And it does appear that your starting skills are all based off the assassin side.
I've updated the first post, going into a little more detail - I'll eventually link all players into the first post so that they are easily accessible - that being said - the starting inventory equipment are up! I've revised a few additional thing feeling a lot of people are lacking some equipment that could be useful to their characters. I'll have my CS up soon

Yes they carry over, you keep the skills you get through leveling - Just so everybody knows, I will be adding more milestones for levels and class promotions (Level 10, will be the first class promotion)
What this entails, if you are a mage, and you feel that magic is not all you wish to be doing, you can merge jobs with a warrior - This being said will add different traits to your character - making them stronger with melee, but weakening magic spells. It can be a good thing, to learn an assortment of skills - but it has its drawbacks. As for moving forward (not merging) You have the choice of continuing the path of your current class (job) by strengthening the skills you have already learned while learning new ones.
