Frika

Appearance

A sort of ditzy guide for the entire Party.

Rinnosuke Morichika

Name:Rinnosuke Morichika
Age:???
Information: A shopkeeper that lives alone in the Forest of Magic. He claims he still gets traffic even out there. Has a fondness for collecting strange 'artifacts' which he claims is part of his stock, though he sells very little of them, considering his attachment to them. As a result of this and his poor skill as a merchant overall, he doesn't really get that much profit. However, he is very skilled in magical foundations, and can, with the right tools and materials, make magical items powerful enough to level mountains.

Bestiary:

Fairies

Name:Fairy(Fairies for multiple)
Appearance:Usually has the shape of a small human child, with wings of varying designs, and clothings that reflect their aspects.
Information:Fairies in this new world exists almost everywhere. They are aspects of nature and thus has abilities that reflects their aspects. While that may imply they would be wise and powerful, the truth is that almost all of them aren't that powerful, as well as being rather childlike in nature, limiting their abilities even more. Being as they are, they lack any sort of mortality, and does not die. Should they take damage that would be fatal to a living being, they would simply dissipate, and reappear later on without any ill effects. While they are childlike and mischievous, lacking a sense of mortality meant their pranks ranges from throwing pies in people's faces, to disorienting a man to fall to his death off a cliff. A strong sense of awareness is often enough to save oneself from fairy pranks.

World's End Online

Welcome to World's End Online

It was one of the VR MMO games to pop up when Virtual Reality became sophisticated enough to simulate the real world. Following the craze for VR MMOs due to popular shows, books and what have you, World's End Online, developed by an obscure company based in Japan aimed towards being a medieval experience. While the foundation of the game was solid, the bog standard story, and painfully repetitive quests brought it down, as well as the painfully generic settings. While they have noticed most not even trying to be part of the medieval world and bringing in less than accurate fighting styles into the game, the promotional crossover anime event they tried to boost the game's player base with was not as successful as it could be.

However, even with all its downsides, it retained a fanbase of its own, due to its extremely robust base. The combat system was well received, having all the classes in its class system being able to do their own unique thing.

It was why, when a group of people stumbled upon a lone instance filled with nothing but an obviously oriental shrine, it was something that was highly unusual. It was not found by any normal means, nor did the map show anything about it. Some may have glitched into it, others found an odd gateway in a place that's out of the way and supposed to be empty, and yet a few found it through an empty name in their location teleport list. But all results in them, in finding the place.

The shrine had that attention to details not found in the rest of the game, giving off the feeling that it was somewhere that could feasibly exist and had people living in it. It was why, when maintenance to the server prevented the group from exploring, they returned back to that place afterwards, and found not a shrine, but a simple red gateway, and a bunny eared maid looking wholly out of place from the generic medieval tone of the whole game.

Perhaps they were bored of the generic medieval tone of the game. Perhaps they wanted to see what she had to offer, or perhaps they were just looking for new things to fight. In any case, the bunny eared maid offered a whole new campaign, and all they had to do was accept the EULA again.

***

World's End Online. To most it is a disappointing game, the story so spread out it may as well be nonexistent, no real overarching quests to make what you're doing feel significant. The rather obscure developers from Japan did not help its reputation as well; the game being thought of as a money grab from some greedy nobody to cash in on the VR MMO craze currently sweeping the world. To those who stuck with it however, found the combat system startlingly well done, as well as the surprising amount of polish on the game actual mechanics. Weapons had weight to them, skills from the class system and player levels helped but was not the be all end all means to winning. For many who stuck with this game, the combat, atmosphere and the ridiculous amounts of cosmetics to be found was enough to keep them playing.

Which was why, for the small group that discovered the hidden area, a strange new campaign could be tantalizing for any amount of reasons.

RULES:

1.All the rules of RPG applies.

2.Don't be a twat.

3.Will add to this if there are need to clarify some more rules about things ive overlooked.

The World Today

The world as it is now during the time of this RP is not so different from the current modern world. VR tech has leapt far further than any other technology due to the interest in them, but the most advanced things in other fields would be somewhere along the lines of a prosthesis with full tactile features, or working practical exoskeletons for the elderly. Certainly more advanced than the current times, but not enough that the difference would be starkly evident when compared.

Job Classes

Job Classes:
Base

Novice

The base class for everyone starting in the game, this class is meant to be used in the tutorial, as well as in the early safer areas around towns to gain levels and fulfill the exam requirements for the first tier classes. Has a play dead ability guaranteed to fool anything that wasn't an undead, a boss class monster or any insect type monsters, as well as a minor self heal. Can use almost every non specialized weapons including their bare hands.

Note: There are some who refuses to switch from novice to other classes, leveling their novice to ridiculous degrees.

First tier

Swordsman/woman

One of the basic first tier melee jobs, they are not simply relegated to the tank role, though they excel at those. Some may focus on their strength, and some may even focus to become a speedy fencer. While titled a swordsman, they can use a variety of melee weapons, ranging from the usual sword and shield, to a spear. Can fight barehanded, though many skills may not be used. Skills may be customized by the player, or taken from a list of generic skills generated by the game.

May choose to become a mighty Knight or a holy Crusader once requirements are met.

Archer

A basic ranged class, attacking from afar, but with little health to withstand a prolonged melee. Can use a dagger and a shield as well as a bow. Shoots good and fast, but is also the more gear dependent of the classes. Arrows may or may not raise the effectiveness of the archer upon an enemy type. For convenience, only custom arrows will be tracked. Skills may be customized by the player, or taken from a list of generic skills generated by the game.

May advance to a skilled Hunter, or a Bard for male characters/Dancer for female characters.

Mage

Basic magician class, strong with magic, and relatively versatile. Weaker in close range, with only the lightest of cloth worn for armor, since any other types of armor will hinder their magic. Can use a shield, dagger, and both one handed rods and two handed staves. Has more skills than any other basic classes but may also has a cast time that makes using them in close quarters dangerous. Skills may be customized by the player, or taken from a list of generic skills generated by the game.

May advance to a more powerful offense focused Wizard or to a more supportive Sage.

Merchant

While not usually thought of as a class for any sort of MMO, this class brings with it the ability to use heavier melee weapons as well as heavier armor. Money and preparation is what makes the Merchant formidable, with an automatic cart following them at all times to give them an even bigger inventory space to stash items in. Haggling is the merchant's forte, being able to sell as high or buy as low as they feasibly can. While they can use swords, axes, maces and shields, they do not have any real skills with it unlike other melee focused classes. Skills may be customized by the player, or taken from a list of generic skills generated by the game.

Can advance into a Blacksmith, or into an Alchemist.

Thief

The stereotypical thief class found in many games, their specialty is of course, thieving, hiding, and striking quickly. While fragile, they're speedy fighters, and tends to be able to dodge much. Fights with a dagger, one handed sword, one handed axe, or even a bow, as well as having the ability to have a shield equipped. Skills may be customized by the player, or taken from a list of generic skills generated by the game.

May advance into a steal focused Rogue, or an Assassin, focused on assassinating single targets.

Acolyte

A priest initiate, this is one of the basic support class alongside the Merchant. Able to buff, debuff, and even heal depending on the skills the player chooses, the acolyte can become a valuable addition to any team. Any acolyte is able to fight with their bare hands, maces, and any type of staves or rods. Skills may be customized by the player, or taken from a list of generic skills generated by the game.

May advanced into a fully fledged Priest, with more powerful buffs and wide ranged holy attacks or into an ascetic Monk, who delivers beatdowns to demons with their bare hands and their ability to use the Asura Strike.

Second Tier: Not Yet Discovered.

Character Sheet

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: Pic or description or both if you feel like it. Just gimme an idea of what they look like.
Personality: Just a gist of it.
Background: Just a gist of it, no need to know all the bits of your characters stuff. Just any important parts.

Ingame Name:
Ingame Appearance: If the avatar you're using is not molded to your real life looks.
Ingame Personality: If applicable
Class: One of the first tier jobs in this game, so either Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Merchant, Thief, or Acolyte. Novice is the starter class before taking the exam to become those first tier jobs, but not really selectable unless you're one of those crazy people doing PvP with a starter class because they can or something.
Notable Skills: Minor things that a job is supposed be able to do, like lockpicking and walking silently are assumed to be automatically learned. Major skills that affect the world around more like buffs, casting spells, shadowstepping etc are to be listed here. 1-3 skills for now. Generic skills listed by the game can be obtained by asking the GM for one.
Equipment: Please make this make sense. A swordsman may use a pike, but if he's sporting a staff im gonna find you and hide all your shoes. Note that what you're carrying will have a realistic effect on your character. Trying to dual wield two handers is technically possible, but you will be slowed. A thief carrying a dagger and shield may be less nimble than one with just a dagger and an empty hand, etc.

World's End Online

So thats at least three people interested in this. ^^

I'd like to get involved and learn more of the setting you're teasing us with. For example, I'd love to hear more about the world outside the VR MMO. We know there was a craze for these type of games now that Virtual Reality was more serviceable as a platform, but what about the world outside of said games? Did significant events occur that would effect our characters background? When it comes to being creative, how far can we go with the modern setting provided? The campaign you offer is sure to be interesting, but a lot of times, there are background factors to the individuals playing these games. One cannot be in VR all the time, they have lives outside of it.

Admittedly, I'm rather curious to see where you go from this. Consider my interest piqued.

@Denduris

Significant events? Its still similar to the modern world we have now, but there are several technological advances made like robotic prosthesis with actual tactile feedback, exoskeletons for the old being feasible, though VR tech had jumped leaps and bounds far ahead of the other techs. Its the future but not too futuristic to have full androids working as your maids, if that makes sense. ^^;

As for being creative, well, id say within limits of common sense for the actual notmmo people? An actual assassin who works for the goverment's secret police who wields dual blades is kinda too out there for an actual person after all. People making up their backstory in the actual mmo game is alright though.

tldr

Group of peeps find an oddly eastern style place in a VR game thats all about that generic european medieval setting, and goes there to find an odd bunny eared maid ready with a whole new campaign with a decidedly strange theme.

Any takers? I'll fluff things up more if there's enough people interested to get this going . Reposting this here to see if i can garner more interest in this section. Dont be afraid to ask questions. ^^;

A Certain Variegated Pseudepigraphum [Toaru/Raildex RPG]

Hazama, Harumi

---

Once again, she was in the undeveloped part of the district. It wasn't a place she went to without reason, and while she was very sure she can outrun most Skillouts, Harumi can't help but still feel rather apprehensive every time she was here.

As expected the same group of Skillouts was still there in the unused warehouse. One of them started before recognizing her as Harumi came closer.

"Oh? Ain't it the little investigator?" A large man pushed himself off a table slightly, enough to get a look at her without leaving his card game. "Need something?"

"I'm scared." She spoke suddenly. "I need something to protect myself with, Gruber."

There must have been a change in her expression as she said that, as the man's expression hardened. Sighing, he stood up, his expression unreadable as he leaned closer to her. "Oh? What happened?"

"I'm afraid of the high levels." Harumi started. "There have been a rise in the case of them bullying lo-"

"I'm not interested in your 'stories'." Gruber cut her short, staring her right in the eye. "Again, what happened? You, of all people, wouldn't resort to this at the mere mention of high levels bullying the weak."

Closing her eyes for a moment, Harumi weighted her options. Without a doubt, telling them what she knew might lead to her story having less impact when rumours inevitably circulate, or worse, stolen from under her nose, but there was no real reason for her to keep it from these guys as well. Rumours coming from Skillouts wouldn't be have much credibility behind them to the average person in Academy City after all. Also, what did he mean by 'you of all people'? She did break into some places and got in trouble for it, and she did try to masquerade as a student in Tokiwadai to flush out that level 5's secrets but she wasn't some sort of delinquent.

"Very well. The truth it is." Harumi met his gaze. "I've witnessed a murder, and I'm afraid they may come after me next."

***

Harumi walked out of that place, trying hard not to look suspicious, handling her bag like it had a bomb in it. It was fortunate that they only asked her to tell them everything she has on the incident. Perhaps Gruber felt it would threaten the people who did not have powers of their own? No matter his reason, at least her money was safe; she was prepared to spend it all for something to help her defend herself. Harumi suspected the fact she wasn't one of those people with higher levels also played a part.

What she did not expect, however, for them to give her a revolver with the serial numbers filed off, as well as a box of ammo. He did mention that people were still people even with all their abilities, and no one could outrun a bullet. Though when she asked about those few who could render guns useless, he just shrugged and said "Then you're already dead if any people of that caliber targets you."

Fate/akashic writhe

Frederica Bernstein

Name: Frederica Bernstein

Servant: -

Age: 22

Gender: female

Appearance:

Hider

Her family's crest lies upon her chest, and the Command Seals just above it. She tends to wear loose clothing, and short skirts.

Height: 172cm

Weight: 57kg

Personality: Seemingly the stoic, silent type, she was more shy than anything else, unable to really muster up the courage to speak to more than one person at a time. Even then she would just as likely to deflate trying to speak to them. However, this did not mean she was submissive when it came to something she believed in, being rather headstrong if she truly believed in something, nor will she simply give up if she believed she needed to do something. A headstrong, but rather shy person, this would inevitably mean she tends to run off on her own. This did not mean she was averse to cooperating with another however, just that she finds it hard to even speak to people. If she truly needed to, she can and will work as best she could with another, though she still might find it hard to even speak to them.

Strengths: Her family focuses mostly on formalcrafts, and as such could enact vastly superior rituals and circles with far less resources than most other families, as well as having a very wide array of rituals to choose from. Due to her drawing using her prana for the rituals that needed an actual magic circles, her control on her magecraft, prana and her magic circuits was exceptional.

Weaknesses: While being from an old family, her circuits weren't really anything spectacular, being just above average. As a family that focused mostly on formal crafts, beyond the basics, she had no real large thaumaturgies she could really cast. While she could use reinforcement, she wasn't really great in close range considering she didn't learn any sort of martial art in detail.

Background: She comes from modern times, after the 5th Grail War, though Frederica knows nothing of it, considering it wasn't an important ritual as far as the Clock Tower was concerned. Her family had always been the reclusive types, though they were known to the Mage's Association, thus she had lived in Germany for as long as she knew, learning her family's secrets and memorizing all the different rituals, the techniques involved in the rituals themselves and even how to condense them. They believed that some day they will be able to reach the Root should they manage to fabricate a ritual that allowed them to do so.

Considering her family's goals, she did not really engage in anything much that was exciting, like a mage versus mage duel and the likes, until Executors came to her place hunting Dead Apostles. Even then, her involvement in the incident was limited to sheltering the Executors and devising traps for them to use.

Perhaps it was just as well, for she, like most of her family, had no real interest in getting involved with the politics of the outside world, much less the politics going on in the Mages' Association.

Even so, she did have to fend off would be thieves every now and then, though 'fend off' may be too strong a choice in words, considering her bounded fields and numerous traps set through her magic circles did most of the work. It was because of the golden branch with seven gems upon it, said to the a Hourai Branch. It came into her family a long time ago, bought from a Dutch sailor for a princely sum, and had remained in their possession ever since.

Abilities: She has exceptional talent in art as well as a very good memory, allowing her to draw accurately any sort of landscapes she had seen. While her athleticism leaves much to be desired, she was quick of wit and observant of her surrounding. Her cooking ability extends as far as instant ramen and boiling water; it is akin to a disaster should she be asked to make anything more complex than that.

Thaumaturgies: A variety of Formalcrafts, ranging from ones passed down and recorded from ancient times to ones the Bernstein family had developed themselves. A simple one could simply be taking a bundle of hair, invoking a name and blowing upon them, while the more complex can take up to a day in incantation alone. One of her best rituals involves absorbing all the prana in the environment and amplify it for further use, depending on what else she drew upon the circle. More often than not, she would usually use that to power something else, though that was rare, considering her relatively peaceful life.

Elemental Affinities: Water

Command Seals: 3, on her right upper side of her chest, looking like three triangles interlocked with one another.

Personal Effects: She has a Mateba revolver, some .454 ammo for it, a few small bundles of hair, black etching talons, silver feathers, small pebbles, small bones, and generally a lot of ritualistic items.

Mystic Codes: A family heirloom, the Hourai Branch - Perhaps not actually a branch from the mythical land of Hourai, it certainly did look the part, having golden branches, and 7 different colored gems hanging upon it like small fruits. Despite looking frail, the 12 inch branch possesses unusual resilience as well as the flexibility of an actual live branch. It seemed to generate mana by its own, storing it in the gems, each glowing gently as it filled with mana. Stuck into a tree, it would instead turn that tree into a sort of a leyline. Of course, normal trees do not usually act as leylines, and thus that tree will die within two days. However, ancient trees could be used indefinitely. When used by a magus, the mana stored within can be used as they see fit. Frederica uses it to make different colored lines for her magic circles.
