Hey guys!

So! I have been following the currently airing anime "Sword Art Online" from the very beginning, and I must say that I am in love with the series. It's about Kirito, and the thousand other players who have used the new gaming technology called "FullDive" to virtually enter the world of the game called "Aincrad" They do this by using a helmet-like console called "NerveGear". while their real life bodies are still in our own world, their mind is sent into Aincrad where they fight, play and talk to eachother as if it was the real world.

Here's a series trailer to wet your appetites! It basicly re-explains all I've just stated - probably in a more simple fashion.



Now, to the subject at hand. I was thinking of actually creating an RP in this very universe. I'm willing to look up all of the facts myself - I have allready found a list of all the floors mentioned in the game. I can't find a full floor list, but we can think of that as we go along. This will be a very long term RP, So if you want to join, I hope you're willing to stick with it! This will take a lot of time, as I would actually like to play and execute each floor! I have also found a list of different skills which we can apply in this RP. There are only mêlée type weapons, and some small throwing ranged objects in addition to this. In other words, there's no magic and no archery! The currency used in the name is Col.

Now, for the setting. I was thinking of a small group of people who meet eachother in-game. two or three people may allready know eachother from another game or the real world. They can form a guild, or join a larger one, and clear floors together. To the contrary of the anime, I really don't want any unique abilities such as the dual-sword skill Kirito applies in the series. Let's keep it to the skills listed above.
There's no need to worry about making sure wether or not our characters fit! The only requirement I would state is that they get along and become friends at least eventually - they don't have to start out as such if you don't want to. The characters will need to be modern daily life like. You can also provide an in-game image of them if you want to, that's not my call (I probably will do so myself).

Now, this concludes my (long) explanation of what I would like to do here. Once again, this is a very long-term RP, so if you think yourself a comitted Rp'er, I'll be glad to welcome you!

reply if you have any questions or suggestions as to the game or setting of the RP. I don't have a character for this myself yet, but I will be making one today or tomorrow. I hope to see you soon!!!

greetings,

Name: Lady Lauren Forest, although she'll probably scoff a bit at you using 'Lady' around her.

Log-In Name: Lauren|Bassnium

Age: Somewhere in her very early twenties

Species and Race: She claims to be a lot of things other than what she really is: the second-youngest daughter of a fire/incubus demon and a Nephilim (half-angel)

Short Description and Website/Link to RPRepository Page: Lauren, a foul-mouthed, psychic-using, budding entrepreneur who is married to a certain paladin who's her polar opposite. Despite being what she is, she doesn't show a lot of powerful, other-wordly traits. In fact, aside from being a fur-covered psychic, she seems remarkably plain and normal... and highly unladylike, to boot.

Position/Contribution: General store shop-keeping: things you need, including rope, bottles, buckets, pieces of paper, &. Maybe even some very low-quality, simple weapons, to avoid competition with the local smithy. She'll more than likely contribute some of whatever she makes to Garbhaile and maybe donations of some useful things if they come into her shop, like rugs or cups and other such things as these.

Strengths:
---Natural:





---Learned/Acquired:






---Supernatural:





Weaknesses:












Time Zone: PASNIFFIC

How and Why is your Character Here?: Having gotten bored with sitting around her & her husband's home of Glenveil, Lauren snagged her favorite Frenchman, and then went exploring through a series of noodle-indicidental adventures until they ended up in Eriu. Having ended up in the wee town of Mullachgarb, Lauren ordered something to the effect of, "STOP 'ERE, I think we'll b' settin' up shop again!", and thus here she be.

NPC note: ";

I will gladly join this So this is following everything mentioned on the sword art online site? (Other then skills of course)

yes, the setting is completely the same as in the series! nothing will be adapted, except for the fact that we'll have to think of whatever happens on the floors not mentioned in the series

Oooh Yay! This is gonna be so much fun!

Feel free to invite someone whom you think is comitted to such an RP ^^ I wanna make this a group thing :p

Here's my character for this RP

I'll create a character for this hold on

I am not really sure, though, are the characters exact copy of real person? For example, if they have some particular skill set, or if they have some ailment or changed (like bionic arm), do those thing stay in game? And do they look the same?

And is there age limit? I mean, lot of people of different age plays MMOs...

Okay check out my character, right at the bottom are his Sword Art Online Descriptions

The appearance of a character will remain the same as in the real world, except for additions like for example a bionic arm. in such a case, it'll just have a regular arm in-game :]

skill stats are set by the game. just because your character cn, for example, run really fast irl, doesn't mean this is the same in aincrad

Hm, would've been pretty cool if bionic arm stayed, though, but I see. So, all ailments disappear, too? That does make sense in general.

yes, all ailments disappear :]

Heh, ditzy Xelba could fit in, and maybe Ryan, too. My head hurts darn much right now, though, so I can't think straight. Or even crooked, for that matter.

So if my character was blind would they be able to see? :0

as far as i know of how nerve gear works, yes. but i'm not sure about that

Ah OK

OH I was looking on the SAO Wiki and it said that NerveGear forbids children below thirteen from joining.

I more meant the upper limit, like I have this 24 years old man. xD But compared to the teens, he seems old and falling out, heh.

there's a minimum of 13, and no maximum xd

something else, do you guys want me to make a group for this?
