Elder Tales - Nova Frontier! (Log Horizon Roleplay)

Postby KnightVanilla » Tue Apr 18, 2017 2:29 am

Been itching for this for a long time, but I’ve wanted this rp to happen forever now. This will be based on the series Log Horizon and focus on the North American Server and its aspects of life within Elder Tale. One of the biggest issues I’ve had and wondered about is the level gaps should I start any or all of you at low levels. To remedy this I will be instating time skips after every large event or chapter where the players will be able to grow in abilities and skills.

Premise

Imagine today… as you are now. Playing your favorite MMORPG game Elder Tale at your desktop. Keyboard and mouse both stained and scratched from overuse as there lays a few empty cans of soda or energy drinks. It’s the middle of the day and you know the new expansion pack for the game is being released in Japan at midnight within their respective region…

You’re on edge of anticipation as you know the NA and SA servers are always the last ones to receive and update. However you decide to log in one more time to see the world of Elder Tale before the dramatic change of the Nova Sphere Pioneers expansion pack. Suddenly as you log in and pick your character everything is black… before you vision fades back into reality… as you see the familiar city streets that aren’t far from your home overgrown with vegetation and moss… you stand up but stumble have trouble gaining balance… your height has changed… even the weight of your body?!

How will you survive and discover what has happened within your reality to lead you to this new one!?

Plot and Settings

Basically you’re stuck in the game with no idea on how or why you got stuck in the first place as well as the whole NA community that you were playing with. This means the main Cities of the NA Servers will be based on the USA and Canada.

In this scenario there will be at least five major cities filled with players and npcs. The starting point will be decided at random, but I will allow for you use of background to state where the character is originally from. However I will place everyone together if there aren’t enough players to divide… if not then well then I have enough players to divide.

San Francisco- The great port city that receives trade from many parts of the world. From the lore… or at least what is usually fed to beginning players is that the city was once a great commune of intellectuals and beasts that decided to build a bridge after many decades of fighting one another as a symbol of connection and peace as the mountains serve as barrier to all their enemies.

Toronto- A snow based Fort city that had stood against time and the brutalities of war. Not much has been remembered or left behind by the culture that lived here with the exception of the buildings and underground passages that form the city’s second layer.

New York- Port city of the East having known the cold just as much as Toronto, but faces numerous threats from the wildlife inland.

Austin- A heated city centered along a wall that borders the southern regions. A treaty is established between the kingdoms of the south to aid Austin should it’s rivals threaten it and vice versa to its southern counterparts.

Vancouver- Another port city similar to San Francisco, but favors more of it’s ability to thrive on it’s connection to other port towns not too far from it’s location to thrive during the cold spells of winter.

Sex: Female
Race: Half-Alv
Class: Summoner

Sub Class:(Waiting for Assignment)

Guild: (Waiting for Assignment)

Background:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Jericha has always been a bit of a hothead and prone to rush into situations. Although she has always been loyal to her friends and those she deems worthy of her trust. Though that trust is hard won with others she is ready to give anything to find a guild to join and rely on.
She can be persuasive in a sexual manner she has found from her experience. Although she can be a bit of a ditz sometimes, much to her own dismay when she eventually realizes her folly.

Jericha in the real world always found herself lucky enough to be on top of personal wealth. She was quite skilled at penny pinching where she could, she would often cut coupons and sometimes clumsily enough herself, just to save that few extra cents. Her friends often criticized her whenever they went out for a girls night out to drink and eat jericha would sometimes even look up coupons for their specific restaurants that they would go to and even look up online to see if it was ladies night at the local bar.

A bit of a penchant for the curious and unknown she was always the first to go head long into a new adventure with friends like a road trip or a hike in the woods.

Appearance:

this thing broke so many times, just take this link. i think you know what it is. https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3573884

Race: Elf
Sex: Male
Class: Assassin

Sub Class: i'm assuming you do this part.

Guild: same with this part, then.

Background:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Hart has always been a strange fellow. He had a reputation for being smart, but his oddness kept most people from befriending him. He'd make a lot of macabre jokes and always seem happy, and he'd even easily insult someone with a grin on his face. It was hard for most people to get a read on him. Due to this, he mostly spent his time alone, and grew up playing a lot of video games solo. He's also a bit of a pervert, but that part's probably obvious. He's selfish and can be cowardly.

He lived with his older brother, who's a workaholic and was never around. Due to this, Hart learned to be mostly independent and emotionally strong, in order to live through his harsh life. After becoming acquainted enough with the game, Hart had made a few acquaintances when he needed allies to aid him, but he doesn't care much about them, only using them when needed. He used to be obsessed with detective shows and films when he was younger.

This concept sounds fun, although I don't know anything about Log Horizon, would I be okay to join even being a noob on the subject?

I appreciate the understanding, but would me improving my characters background make it easier on you?

Sennzai had always been a rather quiet and shy girl, silent unless spoken to or when she finds a need to speak. As such, she never really had any friends since young.

To compensate for it, she spent most of her time in libraries, reading all sorts of books of many different genres. To her, it was a way of escaping reality as she imagined whatever she read in her mind. Whenever she reached a part in the book where a person offers help for others, she wished she could do the same.

As the years passed, she had worked on being more vocal and tried to help others. This resulted in her joining the Red Cross to help the sick and injured. She felt a sense of fulfillment in her life, though she was still quite shy.

Chancing upon the game Elder Tale, she realised she could use it to help her overcome her shyness. Thus she decided to give it a go.

Awesome loving the players so far, However I must state that the starting post will be lagging due to my college needing to maintain my priority. So in the mean time try to build up your backgrounds.

Is there still room for another player? If yes then here's my CS, if no... then nothing, ignore it xD

Background:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

A normal girl, born from a normal family in a normal city... is what she should have been.
Somewhat anti-social to the point of being considered autistic by some, Sae has always liked to keep aloof rather than join the usual cliques that formed back then in school and then again in university, and this tendency made a socially awkward loner out of her.
Not that she cared, since the internet and video-games were here to replace any social dealing she might lack.

Elder Tale was one such game. She often ventured into this world as a solo player, enjoying the sights and the gameplay... until she lost some money in a gambling house, then borrowed game currency from the wrong people and lost that too, leading to her being coerced into joining a more-or-less infamous guild as a grunt.
At least they didn't restrict too much her freedom, as long as she got the job done when they called she could do whatever she wanted, so even though the “missions” were more often than not something related to pk and kill-stealing she didn't dislike it that much.
