Untited RP
The new RP, I am putting this at the top, since it will be read first. So here is what I have written up so far for it. There is a lot, but I think it is enough to get started on for the time being.
This is a fantasy world set in the typical medieval setting, so swords, horses, castles and the assortment of other things that are generally associated with fantasy world. There is however one big difference from this world and all of the others you might be used to. That difference would be that magic does not exist in the form that we are commonly used to. What I mean is that magic is a sudden occurrence in the world that has been appearing slowly over the last few years. People do not understand it and what it means. Many fear this “witchcraft” or “demon powers”, and those that have these abilities are at an equal lose as what to do with them.
This is the land of Rumnir, a vast continent that contains a wide variety of sentient beings as well as vicious beasts. The humans have been fighting between each other for countless centuries over land and people, their squabbles generally do not fall into territory belonging to the other races. The other races have their own problems as well, many of them are equally fighting between each other or with the other races.
There has not really been any great wars or massive evil presences to speak of; most of it is just the typical internal conflicts. No race is perfectly at peace. Some might be in between wars, but there are still tensions across the borders. Then magic suddenly starts appearing in people giving rise to even more tension. Some people think that it is conspiracy and have started to point fingers. Those with the gifts have come exiles some times, others exploit them for untoward purposes, and even the military has taken interest in these gifted people.
The concept is exploring what happens when a fantasy world is introduced with magic. It seems so commonplace that we all just accept it being part of the natural everyday life in this genre. But magic has to start from somewhere. So we can see magic in its infancy and how it grows from there with people that do not know how to control it. There are no masters or schools to train, people have to figure out how to summon it on their own or as groups.
That is just a general outline of what I had in mind right now. The current races I am working with are the Humans, Dragons, and a handful of other races. I would prefer to come up with other names for them rather just saying “Elf” or something like that. Since I have not really made a history yet that puts anything in stone, I’m open to suggestions. Most of what I wrote has been left vague for the time being.
I do not have a goal in mind or anything for direction, so we will just move however we feel. We can just create the story as we go along, the way it should be.
My initial character concept for me is that it is a girl/woman that was raped and is now pregnant. Due to the stress and her also developing magical powers, she could not handle it mentally and overlapped a more pleasing memory. She actually believes that she slept with her now dead boyfriend and that it is his child. I’m pretty sure she is going to be an exile, but maybe not. As things proceed I will sort out the finer details about her. I’m expecting her to be in her early 20s more than likely.
I will continue to write more for this and update things as we go along. I do not plan to hold off very long on this, if there are no replies for suggestions I will just continue writing the background myself until it is ready to become a RP.
Divided Connections
This will contain, helpfully, all the information that is relevant to the RP. This will include all of the information I provided along with the profiles and keywords list that I have created, thus far.
While whatever I might have planned for the RP has long been forgotten or changed, it is pretty much an open book for how we want to direct it. The RP does have one point that I hoping will help those that might have trouble writing a post. The RP requires you to have two characters, an online personality and an offline character. The offline character is your main character and then you have your online personality that they made which is its own character to an extent. Most people will often act as they usually do offline, this is not always the case. Online games allow for people to change who they are and do things that they normally do not. So someone that is shy and insecure and be confident and open online. This will allow for creating a dynamic between the real persona and the fake one that they create. How you want to handle that is up to you, but the group everyone belongs to is a high level group of characters that are well known throughout the online game but retain mysterious origins and are seldom seen in public areas.
This will probably play out bit like .hack in some ways, though I do not want to make it out like .hack. The online game is more or less a stable environment unlike The World, while eventually the online game might be effected. The more pressing matters will be the strange occurances that are happening in the real world.
This is also a far into the future story, where there are colonized planets, so everyone is on a different planet. I do not really want anyone on the same planet, since the online game is meant to be the connection that they all have together. Everyone leads their own lives. So your posts will be able to reflect that, you will have probably seperate parts where you are in the online game and then going doing your own thing in the real world. I want this to be kept in mind, since being able to go out do something alone as a character allows for an amount of freedom that not all RPs have since it is often reliant on everyone or part of the people having to be there to post events.
The RP is going to be a bit of an experiment in how it works out. We are going to have to find the correct balance between the two, since being completely alone all the time is not an RP. But I do not want to force people to be tied down all the time to having to wait on a specific person so that they can post.
And if we decide what will be happening in the online game world, there will be reason enough to be working together. There will more than likely be bad things that happen in the online game, I just want to try to seperate the idea of this being a .hack parellel, even though it is rather impossible to do that. Other things to probably keep in mind will be Ghost in the Shell, more Stand Alone Complex since it is probably a little more relavant to this and Lain as well.
Now these are just references, do not go pulling from them specifically for your ideas. You do need to be original in what we all do, but it just get you into the right mind set and gives you an idea of what to expect.
I also hope that those with online gaming experience will be able to include some of the things that we always seen happening online. They are so often filled with drama and soap opera type events that it can be rather comical at times. But those that have played MMOs will know what I am talking about. So I am hoping we can have those dilemmas in the RP as well, since they help to provide conflct in the online game where there might not always be conflicts.
And for those with a short memory or just lazy, here is the previously posted thing that I had on the future RP.
A long time ago when Wizards and Dragons ruled the lands with fire and magic, mighty heroes fought a terrible war against the forces of darkness. Evil spread across the lands in an unceasing strike against the light. The heroes of our great legends fought this evil and ended the shadow that covered our lands. However, once again has the time come for heroes of legend, darkness begins to pervade our lands. Now is the time for those of strength, valor and honor to rise to face the shadow once again.
- Preface from Fantasy Hour Online
Ok so the general idea comes as this, the world is an advanced civilization that has space flight and is exploring the galaxy. There are many colonized worlds, many large colonies with billions of citizens on each. Humans have expanded to grow throughout the universe free with no restraints. They have found no opposition, no one that is different from them. There is nothing out there but themselves, expanding the borders that used be only a world, is now an universe. The universe is large, yet even as large as one world, one planet is, the universe is still as small as we can see.
Technology keeps the colonies in constant contact, sub space communications link all the worlds. However, Earth is gone, the cataclysm that made the people leave Earth and start the colonies founded a new intergalactic world. The cultures, ideals, beliefs are still maintained throughout each of the colonies. The thousands of worlds that make up the Intergalactic Earth System, which is made up of the same people that made up the small planet of Earth. The hundreds of countries formerly existing on Earth, now exist on worlds of their own. With there own power and resources to grow on their own.
A new life was began and from that grew the new systems, new technologies everything that is what it is today. And as the communications and internet of Earth made the world smaller, so did it make the universe smaller. The uninet, the successor to the solnet and internet, has bought the peoples of the universe together. Instant conversations, gaming, trading and data exchange, it has become no different than what the internet was before.
The leisure time spent by the people have become taken up by a popular uninet game, a large game that spans one large super server that all the people play on. Unlike online games of the past where a few can be together and the experience is only of thousands. Millions play together in this game that is set in a mythology time of a fantasy world fabled by many called Earth. This game is called Fantasy Hour Online, where the player can become many different types of heroes to fight, chat, and have general fun in their spare time.
The game is completely immersive where you customize your character’s appearance and control their actions through a mind link. Everything is simulated through the mind and then projected into the virtual world that the game is played. The game has been on going for more than five years with numerous changes, updates and events. Of these events the hardest of them was the Challenge of the Gods, that many dared to attempt it. For months it went unchallenged, until a group of players beat the challenge gaining high honors, rare items, and prestige. The group called themselves the Royalty, taking there names, but adding fantasy titles to their characters and giving a background to their character. They were a devoted, though mysterious group of players that tended to role play the history they made and when others meet them, would not be able to tell if what they were saying what real or false. What little people know, is just rumors that have been gathered together. What people do know, is that they are the most powerful group in the game, winner of the Gods’ Challenge, high level characters with rare equipment that few ever could dream of owning, and they remain in the game even now playing together. Some even think that they are part of a family that all plays together, but no one really knows their own identities.
Well then, as you can guess, I am placing our characters in the role of the Royalty, you have no choice in that, you cannot be extra, by standers, some newbie, you are the part of the Royalty, it is how the RP works. What is the point of all this? Well this RP put down in the shortest is going to be a futuristic, sci-fi, fantasy, conspiracy. How do I get to that? Well anyone having seen .hack can see certain connection, so take that as building ground. However, do not assume that it is .hack like. There is a conspiracy, but it does not lie in the game, the game is a conduit more or less. The people, who play the characters live on different worlds, their connection is the game. These people have lives of their own in the real world, and the real world is going to be very important. The RP will not be simply in the game world, nor will it simply be in the real world. Though it will take in parts of both.
Without spoiling all the story I have built up already, the main plot of the RP is that strange things start happening in the real world. Things that would normally only exist in the game world are starting to appear in the real world. At the beginning it will just be weird holographic projections, that just happen to be coincidences. Though later it will start becoming more than coincidences, until it is actually real.
Where you guys come in is that you have two tasks, create two characters basically. You create your real world character, and your game character, as mentioned, they Role Play in the game world, thus the need for two characters. Two characters should not be a challenge for such talented people as yourselves, right? ^^ From there pick a world you want to be, do with it as you will. Certain obvious planets exist such as New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Paris, do remember people are unoriginal, especially in naming things that they live on. You do not have to live on these planets, just letting you know what some of the planets are called.
Oh and the time period is far beyond our own current time, at least ten thousand years. Earth is a mythical world, they most do not believe it existed, but there is more of a theological reason for where everyone came from. Earth is a holy land that religion and stories use as an origin of humankind. Though since no one can find it, people do not believe it exists and it is more of an ideological sort of thing for them. What I gave you above is the truth, not what they really believe. And even some of what I gave you above is not truth. As I said, conspiracy will layer this as well. Though, since it is a conspiracy, I shall not reveal much about it until later. Right now it is just important to find the starting point.
As universal politics will be an issue as well, it may be an advance society, but they are built from the people that lived on Earth. All the troubles and disagreements are not all simply wished away. So expect and try to include these things into the world that you live on. Wars are going on even while our players are in the game and living their lives. And the events that this game will create will build to more than just a simple issue of a program becoming more than a game, but will affect the politics and governments of the worlds. There is a lot of factors for the RP, so it should give you all good exercise and some fun as well.
I have forgotten most of what I had in mind for it. So now it is just a simple idea of strange things start happening. So do not think I have some great thing in mind. And since people seem to detest about me, it is a good thing. So, we will all be flying be the seat of our pants. I have gotten all caught up in creating a story lately that I have been forgetting about the really heart of RPing is spontenianity and the unexpected. And if I do remember anything I will forget them. Boiled down, the RP is a sci-fi conspiracy, I do want to keep the conspiracy because I have not been able to successfully get far enough in a RP that was conspiracy to say that I have done one. But anyway, it requires two characters in game and real world.
The characters are all on different worlds, and have their contact via the game. We can figure out the rest of the things as we talk about this. I really liked the idea when I made it a year ago and we disappointed that it was not seen to fruition. Plus I am a .hack and Lain fan, so it sort of satifies those desires.
Lots of reading, I hope you all read it every word. This is going to be a club RP and the only source of our activities, so I do expect you all to participate. This should provide you with both fantasy and science fiction depending on your tastes.
We will need to sort out the Jobs/Classes that are going to be in the game. I have not really thought about it much right now. So if you know what you want to be, try to be vague enough so that it fits. Naturally there will be warrior and healer types, you can use FF terms until we have names sorted out. It will be one of the things that I will be thinking about for the initial post for the OoC. Suggestions are always welcome, this is not my RP, but all of ours.
If you want to add more to the bios that is fine, those are just the bare minimum that I usually work with. It is your choice if you want to make the characters similar in nature, but also realize that people use games like this for escape and want to be someone else. So you can try things out if you want.
I think there were other things I wanted to say, but I cannot recall right now. Oh well. Oh wait there is one thing that I just remembered. It was talked about having two groups. And more than likely depending on the number of people we have, there will be two groups. There are the Royalty or something close to that and another group, since originally I was only planning on one group, I do not have a name for a second group. We can sort that out as we go along in the process.
So consider this the OoC for the time being until I figure out if it will move or not.
Mind the double post, I'll be merging these together later, but I wanted to keep everyone up to date. I am currently writing everything up for the RP. Though after having read through what I had wrote up so long ago I am needing more time to sort through everything and arrange things. Since the previous was more a purposal than anything else I am reworking some of the details. Plus I have to sort through what parts of the online world I deem the most important, since obviously I am not about go create a massive index for a MMO. Though some of you probably wouldn't put it past me. And I probably wouldn't if it was not that I wanted to get this all down and out as soon as possible.
I thought this was going to take a couple hours to put out, but its taking longer to edit the previous things. With luck I will have it up tomorrow since I already have a good start on it tonight.
Well its taken me until now to finally it is typed up. This week has not be kind to me. However, it is finally finished sort of. I put down the background that we will be building up from. So questions you have or suggestions, please post them. Also, I figure for the sake of club activity, we will just keep the OoC here.
The Class of the Online Game Fantasy Hour Online:
Shield Bearer – A class that wields both a sword and shield, though there are cases when they can wield two swords. They specialize in one-handed weapons and a light, quick warriors. Because they also have a shield they make ideal defenders to take hits.
Heavy Sword – A class that wields weapons so heavy they require two hands. They are not great on the defense, so most of their skill is in pure offensive damage. If it can deal large amounts of damage they like it.
Apothecary – A class that tends to the wounds of others. They make strange concoctions that have amazing regenerative qualities. They are almost purely support there to keep the party alive and protect them anyway possible. There are some that are known to make a heavy defense style making them an excellent defender though weak on the attack. But it is possible to create a frontline style.
Battle Wizard – A class well versed in the arcane arts of magic. They tend to stand back away from the main frontline launching massive damage at the enemy. They are varied in the elements and can understand several different areas of the magical arts.
Assassin – A class built solely for stealth and speed. They are poor in the long drawn out fight, but their first blows are devastating. They wield light weapons much smaller then the other classes, usually knives or katars of some type.
Spiritualist – A class that is often misunderstood, some call them a necromancer others a summoner. However, when it comes down to it they are a widely varied job that is only limited by the player’s imagination. They can summon the souls of the dead, spirits of the heavens and control beasts. These traits are often not found together since it tends to weaken the overall strength of the type of summon.
The online game is a massive world that holds more than 50 million accounts. There is roughly 200 million characters created for the game for one purpose or other. Logged in at anyone time is more than 10 million people. For such an epic scale of players, the world map is massive with several starter towns, seven to be exact. There are numerous other cities and villages spread across the land. The mainland is one seamless continent that you can walk just about anywhere you want. Going from the farthest points on the continent would easily take an entire week in the real world to cross. To give you a scale comparison for those that play FFXI, its takes a good hour a more to walk from Bastok to Sandy. So the world is massive, but it is necessary with the number of people that play the game. If it were small, then it would be too crowded.
There are transport devices that follow along the magic leylines of the land that allow for quick transport to far away lands. These work two ways, but require you to either pay the NPC at the place for transport or have someone in your party with the skill. The skill is available to anyone, but does require a lengthy quest to gain the ability.
Monsters exist everywhere and will vary from aggressive or non-aggressive. Like other MMOs, there are special monsters that spawn that people fight. These monsters are called Great Beasts, with strength and attributes that far exceed that are their normal kin. There are the Notorious Beasts, whose strength surpasses even that of the Great Beasts. I have not figured out if there will be different nations and other story elements for the actual game. We can decide how we want to be handled. That will affect whether or not we will have player killing or not.
Since it is medieval in setting, there will be castles and similarly structured cities for the period. It would be taken from European design of that era. Though naturally the cities will not be called that, little from Earth’s history is remembered.
Magic and weapons, you just make up as you go along and we will just add them to the index of things to remember. Do not be afraid to make things up. I would not dare to make a list since it would simply be forgotten and it is better that you make them as you go along than me telling you everything. Though remember, once someone creates something you have to remain consistent with that.
The classes themselves while few, since I did not want to clutter things up, are meant to be flexible. So just because it is such a type of class does not mean there is not remember for change to make you different. The game allows for people to mold their character how they want, so you given a long list of things that you can choice from to customize your class to your play style. What this list is well up to you to decide, again I am not going to create a list. But with that said, the Heavy Sword class, from how it sounds wields large weapons; it does not have to even be a sword. If you want to make it like a Dark Knight, more power to you. Each job has so much that they allocate to their customization and the higher level you are the more you can allocate. Naturally even at the highest level you cannot have everything, but you can have a fairly sizeable list of abilities and spells.
The player base is allowed more or less to play the game how they wish. It is made to be open enough for you to make your own story. But there are naturally stories that you can play through though it does not affect the overall world politics. Though there are event stories that do affect the world which draw in everyone and depending the outcome will change things in the world.
Players themselves can play free as wanders, be part of the city guard, royal knights, military, just about anything that they want to be. Which does bring me to a matter that we have been discussing. In the previous posts I had spoke about the Royalty and everyone being in the one group. Though it was figured that would be too large. For a bit I thought about disbanding that idea and just having a bunch of people unknown to each other. However, I think I will go with a hybrid of that. There will still be a group known as the Royalty, a small party of three to four and then everyone else can decide what they want to be, wanders, guards or their own party. It is up to them. Our interaction will come from meeting each other in the game through something. So there can be different sides made rather than just the one side.
I can’t think of anything more for the online game at the moment, if there are questions just ask me and I will see what answer I can give you.
As for the real world. The real world exists far into the future as said previously. It is roughly 10000 years after humanity left Earth. The exact reasons for leaving Earth are not clear anymore and most do not even believe Earth really existed at all. Earth is a more mystical place of humanity’s birth, something for religious discussions.
In that time, humanity colonized planets and grew across the galaxy. There is now almost one trillion human beings in the galaxy. With over a hundred planets and at least five billion people on each the scale of humanity is massive. There are planets home now to an entire race of people that used to live crammed together on Earth. It has created large societies and plenty of dangerous situations.
The planets are connected through a sub space communication network known as the Uninet. This allows for near instant communication between people thousands of light years apart. Travel is done through a sub space gate column that flows between the planets. The gates allow for quick transport through space, closing light years of travel into a few hours or a day.
However, everything is not so smooth. There is a lot of political tension between planets. There is no giant federation or great force that holds everyone together. They are all more or less on their own. Planets group together in the formation of treaties and alliances, but they rather as divided at times as they were on Earth. There are numerous wars in the past, though recent years have seen the move towards possible unification. There are certain parties that would profit from this and certain parties that do not want to see this happen. Already there have been several close calls that nearly destroyed the progress.
The soon to come strange occurrences that are going to be related to the game will start triggering the short fuses of the political situation. Probably questions of cyber terrorism and other issues will pop up make matters worse. Simply put lots of bad things will start happening and one of the roots of those problems will point back to the game.
The Royalty themselves have long though mysterious history. They are quite well known characters in the game because they were the first ones to beat the Challenge of the Gods event, which was considered impossible to beat. Their fame began from that event though; they are long standing players that have continued to play in the game. They hold the current highest character level; whatever that might be is still undecided. Though after the event they have not return to partake in any further events. They can sometimes be seen in town, though they have their own place that they reside within the game that remains unknown.
I don’t know if I have more to add or not. But this should be plenty to get started with. I will be putting my character up sometime later once I start seeing how things go with people. More than likely I am going to part of the Royalty.
There are some things that I wanted to add since I got started writing up some of the RP. The first thing that I wanted to do was start a list, this is basically just a list of all of the important need to know or need to remember words for the RP. Since it is going to be a MMO environment and a real world, there is probably going to be a lot of things flying around. So I figured that I would keep a list of everything that I think is important to remember, now this will include everything that anyone makes up. Remember that I left a lot of ??? around, I did that intentionally. Because I wanted to encourage people to create and feel like they are not simply following one person's idea, but molding a group idea. This was one of the reason why I wanted everyone on different planets, this allows you to create your own world without conflictions with anyone else. You can do whatever you want with it. The online game is going to be same, though there will be more consistency required, thus the list. There are a lot of important places that will be created early on, cities that anyone, that played the game for more than a couple weeks would know. But I'm not creating all of the names, I'm allowing people to create the names as they are needed. So as they are created, I'll put them down in the list. This will be the same for skills, abilities, names, anything that we see as important.
That list will be continued and I will probably post it every few posts so that it is always readily available with minimumal back tracking required. It will exist at last once on every page, if not more, since not everyone uses my same page setup.
Another thing, as I said above I want to encourage people to create their own parts of the RP. So when while I am writing the introduction, you can easily be working on your own right now. If you have questions about technology and the science fiction part just ask, but since that is not going to be completely important in the story you should not have much problem. But if you are uncertain, just ask. But the world itself is all up to you, try to make it detailed and come to life so everyone knows what it is like. About the only part you will want to wait on is probably the online part, since I will probably set the feel of that with my post. But definitely be thinking or writing on your first posts.
For the game what I have so far as cities is this:
7 Starter Cities
25 Villages and Towns
12 Primary Large Cities
2 Highly Populated Metropolis
To break it down, the starter cities for those unfamiliar as the places that the newbies start and where a lot of early players will use as their city that they work out of. From there you will have a number of small villages and towns, I set the number at 25, but realistically there are probably even more than that. If we hit that number, we can always add more if we feel like it. There are twelve primary cities, these are larger than the starter cities and a vast amount of people use these as their base to work from. These are generally mid level cities. Then there are the two main cities, massive cities that are large enough to hold the millions that travel through it each day. As anyone in MMOs knows, there is always the popular city where if you are anyone in the world goes. These are those places, I made two because as I will eventually explain, there used to be one, but it became so overcrowded with people that there was just a simple need to have a second city. I'll fill in more details on it later, but simply put, one of the cities has about a million sitting characters, people who are otherwise AFK or away from terminals. Then there is another million or so of active people going about their business. This is about how it is for both cities, so in other words about 4 million people are usually in the two cities at any one time. The numbers vary, but it gives you the idea its like having all of the people of Chicago there, so crowded. Though the cities are large and have been expanded to try to deal with the scale, so they take a long time to traverse on foot.
That gives you an idea, I'll probably handle the two major cities just to place out the ground work, aside from that everything it pretty much open game. If we come up with monster names, regions, areas to leveling such, I'll try to keep track of it all. It all will probably not be necessary, but highly experienced players would probably know all of the areas of the game.
Also the game is seamless, so there are no load screens. So there is no such thing as defined areas as you might be used to. Maps will probably be a little more broad, but we can figure that as we go along.

Real World
Name: Sarah Toya
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Planet/City: Shulita – Green Till Region – Shoula
Occupation: College Student
Appearance: Sarah is short in stature and rather meek looking. She wears circular electronic glasses that display text and images from the uninet. Her hair is black and short, curling in around her neck.
Background: Sarah Toya is half Japanese and half English. Her father is Japanese and comes from another planet who met her mother on Shulita during a business trip. He eventually moved to Shulita a few years after Sarah’s birth. Sarah was raised with both heritages, though there is some isolationist ways among the English worlds that rejects who she is. The result of her mixed heritage made her secluded from her peers that rejected her at times. This gave her a very soft, shy personality that tries to avoid confrontation.
She is smart, though not overtly, she maintains good grades and worked her way into the University of Shoula. The University of Shoula is one of the top ten University on Shulita in education and well-known through the galaxy. Sarah is studying general computer sciences currently not completely decided on a major, which has been undecided for four years now. She is nearing a point where is going to be forced to decide what she want to be, a day she is not looking forward to.
During her late high school years she picked up the online game Fantasy Hour Online and began playing as a way to escape. She has remained playing the game through college though her time much less than it was back then.
She has a complicated view about the unification efforts going on. Since he is mixed heritage she does want unification. However, the isolationistic ways of the English are a part of her and she does not wish to actually be part of everyone else. This also comes from her introverted personality that she is disassociated with much of the social world and was in cases shunned for being who she is. Since she is mixed blood unification has a different meaning for her.
Online Characters
Account: Toyama
Name: Gnurin
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Class: Apothecary
Appearance: Gnurin wears heavy gray-brown robes with his hood laid down. He is tall, muscular build though not to excess with long brown hair with a blue streak in a strain of hair that lays in front of his ear and down his chest. He normally carries a heavy full staff that is equal in height to him. Though he also wields a special no class specific sword that is a hyper rare item.
Background: He is one of the former Royalty members from years ago. Sarah played him during her high school days when she had a lot of spare time. However, she rarely plays him these days.
Back when he was her primary character, he was one of the strongest most powerful Apothecaries in the game. He was a unique blend of high defense and healing ability that made him the group’s tank. Since he was able to easily double as healer and tank, the Royalty was able to put more effort into offense. He was the foundation for the group’s strategy and when she left for college the group disbanded. The group was going their separate ways at this point as well, college mainly and became a good time to disband.
Gnurin is a well-known Apothecary in the game, all aspiring Apothecary want to be like him since he took part in the Challenge of the Gods. Gnurin’s build while original at the time, is widely used these days and considered often a typical build he is still seen as the master and originator. No one know outside of the Royalty know Gnurin’s exact stats or skills, so the imitations are simply that, people’s guessing and attempt to figure out the mystery legendary Apothecary.
The sword he uses, often during soloing times is the reward from the Challenge of Gods that was given to all of the Royalty and considered the sign that they are the Royalty. It was the only one time even item and the rarest of the hyper-rare item with only 3 or 4 in existence. The sword is wieldable by any class, but locked to the character permanently.
Gnurin is a charismatic man with a smile on his face and up beat. He is strong and determined, confident. While he was in the commonly used he helped out new players and supported the stronger players. If he is on, it is usually during brief periods for an important reason.
Name: Yerune
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Class: Heavy Sword
Appearance: Yerune is average height, though still taller than Sarah in real life. She has bright pink hair that is long, a little abnormal for the game style that was dyed through an event item. She has the usual warrior type armor common to the heavy sword class, though an emphasis on agility. Her common weapon of choice is medium axe, that usually two handed, but not always. She also wields a full heavy sword for high damage purpose.
Background: Yerune was created after Gnurin and during her college years. She has been playing with Yerune the longest, but it is not nearly as high level as Gnurin. Yerune is a more casual character that is usually a soloing character since she left the Royalty. She has not participated in many combat events or high-level battles, so her equipment is a little better than standard.
She has a really happy, excited personality that is ever cheerful. She enjoys helping out others and spends a lot of time around the cities whether inside or out. Sarah is highly knowledgeable in the online world, so she will explain quests in great detail. Yerune is not a commonly known character by name, but rumors apart a pink haired heavy sword that is helpful are pretty common.
Both Gnurin and Yerune have the teleport ability.
Gnurin as said has defensive and healing skills mainly, he is also the max level with the most possible skills thanks to some events and quests that expanded it. Yerune is your run of the mill heavy sword, though with her own uniqueness take on it. She is more middle road on a lot with emphasis in speed and dodging and the ability to slowly add up a lot of damage. Overall when the battle is finished she is comparable with normal high damage heavy swords if not better.
English are more or less the Americans, but I wanted to get away from that some, so English refers simply to all English-speaking people, British included. The English as I said are isolationistic currently and opposed to the unification.
I have refrained from putting in a level for the characters, since it is not necessarily important to the RP. If it is something that we decide to be important, then we can add in that. But we can use a common sense in feeling where everyone is comparatively.

Background: When she first started the game, she was a fairly kind character, helping people with their quests. She managed to get the teleportation skill after a long, dreary quest.

Although not a bad kind of weird. Just different. Before she knew it, she got an adrenaline rush everytime she killed someone. She would join their party for quests and backstab them in the end, just for kicks. She always waited till after the spoils were split. She wasn't greedy or anything, just looking for excitement.
