Sword Art Online, the newest game for the Nerve Gear, brining a whole new depth into the gaming world, and you managed to obtain a copy for your own enjoyment. Sadly though, not everything worked out as you had expected. After playing the game for a mere hour, you found that you had been forced via teleportation back into the Town of Beginnings main plaza, where the creator of the game, for one reason or another, explained that you would be trapped here, in sword art online, till you managed to beat the game...which would be conquering all 100 floors of the game, he also gave you a little present, making it so everyone's avatar, looked just like them in real life, though the hair colour seemed to remain the same as your personalized avatar had before.
Living in a game till you beat a game. A gamer's dream come true, right?
You will be a part of the guild known as "The Pheonix" A small guild which will be just starting off at the kick off of the events, it will be few in number, but great in purpose, as they will be a guild that will take on the front lines. Using the imagery of a Pheonix rising from dust, the GM of the guild is hoping to move from the dust and horrors of this digital world, and break free to the real world, making a path for everyone else.
The rp will not deal with canon characters or guilds, and will certainly have some different twists and turns. The name of the creator is still Akihiko Kayaba, and we will start on the same floor, and deal with the same first boss (thanks to the intell the beta testers had gathered) but after that, I will randomly generate a floor theme and boss for it. Feel free to create or mention other guilds, and what they are doing during the course of our adventures, but your main character must be a part of The Phoenix.
The Pheonix has no specific colours or type of armor, just the pattern of a burning wing. which can be any colour, or on any spot, (like how laughing coffin has their coffin face thing, except more noticeable, since we are a 'good' guild.)
Weapon types can evolve as the story progresses. As opposed to SAO which just had Kirito and Heathcliff using unique styles, based on your character and how they act / there preferences, they can 'unlock' new fighting styles down the road. Some via quests, or other conditions which shall be made known later.
Every weapon is a sword, even an axe is a sword. Everyone will start off with a basic sword though. I will have a sword tree, so your character will have to take a route to become what you envision. Starting weapons will be heavy short sword, short sword, thin short sword.
Proper character sheets will be available when I have moved on from interest section, to the actual roleplay. I will only be accepting so many people, and I will be expecting posts at least once a day for the first two weeks.
Any questions / interest? I will leave this up for 1 - 3 days depending on interest, then move on to the actual RP.
