@OneStoryToMany: The magic mastery thing.
@experta:
- Everyone has an inventory by default. The bags are kinda... There already. No basis for having gold being an anomaly in a world that is essentially identical to that of the game's, but is fundamentally a fantasy world of its own.
- I don't... Think former hacker of the game is the best way to go about a char. IP bans, account bans... You ain't gonna be leveling a char for very long if they keep IDing them. Also, I'd think that such a popular and expansive game would have a GM force that was on-point about this kinda stuff.
- Backstory and current ign are, as a result... No good imo. Like, the whole 'trapped in the Void' thing itself is fine, but the prelude to that ain't. You could just as easily have made the character that race on the spot and built offa that. Level manip is interesting, though.
- The RP takes off once the patch hits live. All are global, so you can't crack source if it hasn't been released.
- Those skills are... Hrm. Well, the level manipulation one was okay, as far as I could tell. Harness is a tad... Well, broken is a good way to put it. Spontaneous crafting feels like a cop-out. Everything else, given what you're putting out there, seems alright.
That's all for now, but I might have more to say later.
Edit: Okay, to add on:
In most online games, mods are usually client-side; they include things like sfx alterations, model changes, and so on and so forth. Since these are all client-side, the server doesn't flip, because you're the only one being affected by them. Something on the magnitude that you're suggesting would involve client-side mods and know-how on how to fix the packets that you own computer is sending. Modding a char to multi-race without immediately assigning that at the start of the game would cause the client to, more likely than not, cause the server to bug out and boot said account. Even with the bypass, the packets aren't being altered, so the server will freak upon connection. In essence, the character would never make it in the first place and would probably be about as buggy as hell if it ever made it onto live. Furthermore, it's not as if it's hard to patch fixes for those hacks in; game companies hire hackers all the time to hack the games, then create fixes for the breakthroughs that they make.
...
Or so I'm led to believe, given what I know about networking from my classes and what I've learned from my friends who are taking classes in systems and networking.
I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it feels like the whole 'hacker' thing wouldn't fly. I can't accept something that goes against common logic like that without a VERY good reason. Also because it tehnically wouldn't work in the first place, but my point stands.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to do whatever you want with the code of a MMO game, especially if it's old for instance like WoW But yeah, it's true that a patch usually manages to clean those things up. But its not like the patch particularity targets something, it just does a hard reset to something new, to put it simply, the old version thats modded just gets ignored. Making changes that are not auto patched is a lot harder and time consuming which is why no one would bother for a simple game. It's true about what you said for the gold thing tho, it's completely arbitrary, I added it cuz it would create a lot of fun situation where you cant pay bar tabs, or for a night in the inn, it's always fun and comical to have a stick like that at your disposal xD I thought I'd bring something a bit more different as a char but if you are not ok with it thats cool. Have fun with the RP ^^

Tried to keep it on the short side so I assume some stuff will still need explaining. Let me know if questions arise.
Form:
Name: Xander Yang
Gender: Male
Age: 23
IGN: UNIT- 385 - 174 - HARNESS ( Cracked the game code once he needed to use the avatar so it displays as Han. Dispelling an illusion reveals the avatar's real name. )
Race: Daimonion ( A NPC race of powerful demons introduced in the new patch. Because of his past he is unable to use their power. )
Avatar:
Equipment: Shadow robes ( living cloth that obeys its user, forming different shapes and repairs itself over night )
Shadow daggers ( Useful for both hand to hand and range combat, the perfect tool for an assassin and poisoner. Light, cheap and easy to use but not very durable. )
Has a backpack for herbs and materials but no bag for gold since he can't carry any.
Level: 1
Skills:
Shadow arts D: The ability to use the shadows and darkness based illusions. Can manipulate it in to basic shapes ( shadow chains ) or use it as shadow clones and fading in to darkness. The darkness is fragile and is easily broken by light based skills and even natural sunlight, becomes much more strong and lethal in places with no natural light.
Void Sense D: Pierces the veil of "reality" and time to commune with a different plain of existence. The space where summoned beings and sealed away creatures reside. He can use it to speak with creatures there and forcefully summon lesser beings that are a mirror of his inner alingment and intent. ( When angry summons blood thirsty demons, when calmly meditating summons sentient beings of knowledge. )
Harness SS: Hyper-Acute-Resonating-neurological-energy-supplying-synthesizer. Taps in to a willing subjects mind and removed their limiters. For one minute the target of this skill becomes max level and all his skills are boosted to their limit. Once the minute is up, the target returns to normal and is healed and restored to normal condition. The caster of this skill suffers the full damage and backlash of the skill, rendering him in a near death state and helpless until he rests for at least 8 hours. He can not use any skills or fight until then. This skill can not be used on the caster.
Corrupting presence D: Passive. A natural aura of uneasiness and death. Life is slowly drained and fades from nature around the user. His targets slowly suffer corruption and debilitating buffs by his presence. Slowly heals him over time as life is stolen.
Spontaneous crafting SS: Crafting basic and some advance items with supernatural speed. He must have necessary materials or equivalent gold, no tools are necessary unless crafting a complicated item.
Noble Art Sixth Rebirth EX: The ability to bring back a spirited away creature from the Void. Once used the user is reduced back to level one. The caster must be no less then level 100. The caster remains level 1 permanently until he slays the Arch Demon who's spell the caster undid.
Personality: Trickster and self proclaimed laziest person when it comes to the oddest of things. He would rather spend 100 hours creating a cheat to get an item then 5 hours farming for it. He loves having fun at other people's expense and thinks nothing of making their life hell out of spite. His silver tongue and manipulative skills are both sharp but he never uses them for any grander scheme then to amuse himself. Has a deep fear of his own shortcomings. His nature has always made it hard for him to get close to people but since he got burned once he has completely shut himself emotionaly out of fear of getting hurt again. People are just toys, he wants to see them dance.
History: Do to his weak constitution in real life computers are his life. He was already a well respected hacker in real life before he turned to gaming. He was asked to develop and mod new things, illegally of course, when he got trapped in the game himself. Unfortunately that posed a lot of complicated problems on him. His presence and that of his dummy bots in game. He could not build his character as he wanted and most of his skills are inconveniently influenced by factors he can't control. He can't hold any gold because the system would detect him as an oddity. Despite how the world is he fears that may cause his character to be banned and permanently destroyed or worse, since he is not sure what will happen he is forced to always walk around broke. The other problem is his dummy bots that may be traced and expose him, so he is trying to find and destroy them. Some of them seem to have gained a sort of sentience and have different goals of their own. Xander used to be one of the highest level players in game. That changed when the Daimonion creatures were introduced in the new patch. His current body was modded to try and steal their powers but he failed. At the time he had two people with him he knew from real life, both of them were taken to the void and spirited away. Since they are not dead they can not respawn so they were going to be permanently trapped in there. Xander used what little power he stole to release one of the two people and they ran away from the Arch Demon. Later his friend blamed Xander for freeing him and not the third person, that was the last time Xander saw his friend. A permanent level 1, Xander is now looking for a way to slay the Arch Demon, free his friend and remove all dummy bots he left behind. To do so he is forced to rely on the only power he has left, his shadows and his wit.

Regi just laughed it off while scratching his cheek, a little nervous tick he had. At that point one of the professors from earlier walked in.
"Nice speach miss Sovereign. I am sure you will have an equaly good one for why you used your "Hawks Talon" in a confined environment after the student body specificly asked you not to for health concearn reasons."
Valios smilled mischivously as he went to check on Maia and Regi.....by poking them in a few places.
"Ow...."
"Yup, you'll live. Ain't that awsome." ^^
He went to take a seat and put his clip board down on the table.
"You kids decided on your team leader yet? All the other teams are ready and have submitted their forms and names. A lot of paperwork is involved you know."
Regi looked over to Alicia.
"You don't have a team either miss Sovereign?"

Regi looked over to Alicia.
"You don't have a team either miss Sovereign?"
Yeah tahts pretty cool.
Regi was silent for a while, not sure how to answer her.
".....I-I fell down. I got clumsy and stumbled down one of the cave entrances. Physical activities were never my strong suit..."
He decided to switch the topic, he was jsut glad things worked out...sort of.
"I believe I haven't properly introduced myself yet. My name is Reginald, but you can call me Regi. Thank you for coming to help me."
".....I-I fell down. I got clumsy and stumbled down one of the cave entrances. Physical activities were never my strong suit..."

"I believe I haven't properly introduced myself yet. My name is Reginald, but you can call me Regi. Thank you for coming to help me."
After the comotion was done with the teachers took everybody back. Maia could get patched up too. The guy that pushed Regi in the cave didn't like how things unfold, he was so stealing that silver piece later. Once back at Beacon, Regi went to get his scraps and bruises cleaned and patched up as well. The stinging was unbareable but Regi was a man, he was not going to cry over this.
It says right on the first post that its curently closed.
The dust hadn't settled down by the time the instructor, flanked by two teachers came up to the group. The instructor was pretty pissed.
Crane: "You troublemaker. What did I tell you last night? Don't cause any more trouble. It hasn't been even a day since then, not even a day!" >:/
Valios: "Now now instructor Crane. These kids just went through enough don't you think? The import thing is they are all safe."
Crane: "No thanks to you Reginald. You are on thin ice boy." >:/
Valios: "Professor Aris, will you help me check them for injuries?"
Valios and the other female teacher began checking the group for anything too serious. In the mean time, instructor Crane was stil lon Regi's case who seemed ready to cry with regret and apologetic face written all over him.
Crane: "I am warning you. If you pull another stunt I will personaly make sure you get kicked out of Becon. From now on until you graduate I will be like your shadow. Just give me a reason." >:/
Valios: "Oh my....."
As professor Valios was getting some webs off of Regi to check him for bites and wounds he stopped and grinned.
Crane: "You put the entire group in needless danger and you almost ruined the team assignment task. And for what? Just so you can have a little fun?" >:/
Valios: "Instructor Crane...."
Crane: "Some of the other students neglected their chance to become a part of a team and fight for a chess piece because of you. How are you gonig to make it up to them? You may have just ruined their entire life while they are here at Becon." >:/
Valios: "Instructor Crane!"
Valios startled Crane and finaly got his attention. Professor Valios chuckled and peeled something out of the webs on Regi's back.
"Hey Aris, does this mean he wins?"
Varios peeled off of Regi a silver chess pieces. The others who had just bronze once all protested in unison. Crane was just standing with his mouth open.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!" >:/
Aris: "We have never had a case like this. It's not in the rulebook. But also there is no rule that prevents initiates from entering advanced combat zones and retrieving chess pieces from them........also it's professor Aris...."
Valios: "Ain't you lucky Regi, you little devil."
Valios laughed as he gave him the piece and slapped him on the back, almost making Regi fall forward.
"There is no way you can allow this, instructor?"
The guy that pushed Regi down there seemed pretty angry about this. While the professors were discussing the matter......and Aris was pulling Valios by the ear for adressing her so friendly, Regi made his way over to Maia and Alicia who seemed to be the only two without a team.
"I-I'm so sorry. For causing you so much trouble. The instructor is right, I-I will try to make it up to you I promise....you even got hurt because of me....and I don't even know your name..."
He mumbled that last part about Maia, feeling guilty.
"Here, it's not much but you can have this."
He offered the silver chess piece to Maia and Alicia so they can decide on a leader for the team.
Crane: "You troublemaker. What did I tell you last night? Don't cause any more trouble. It hasn't been even a day since then, not even a day!" >:/

Regi was picking himself off the floor when he noticed the guy with the hammer coming up. There was still noise below so he peeked to see what was going on. Even up here there were stil lspiders so the others were busy. Both girls bellow were on their own. Regi took a deep breath and endured his mental fatigue for a moment longer. Spell signs flared up around him and he prepared another spell.
"Plazma rain."
With a wave of his hand he created huge floating bubbles that casually started to float down towards the spiders. One of them quickly attacked the bubble and popped it. Purple like mist filled the area and a spark went off before violent bolts of plazma began to rain down and rip the spiders apart in the area around the bubble. The others began to pop as well, buying the girls a little mroe time and breathing room.
