[OOC] Side Quest - Sword Art Online

[LadyTale]

Every one knows the main story; Kirito and Asuna, and how they defeated Kayaba and saved everyone. Well, everyone who was still alive at that point. But what about the others? The people who weren't heroes, or legendary fighters, or didn't have a special skill. What happened to them? They are, after all, human beings just like Kirito. Every story deserves to be told. This is their story. This is Sword Art Online: Side Quest.

Rules

Any and all co-GMs have equal authority with me.
I won't say no OP characters, as I don't think there's a power limit in SAO. However, I will say this: we're starting from the very beginning. Everyone will be pretty weak at first, so no one-shotting everything.
Characters may argue; authors may not.
No killing without author's permission.
You may have as many characters as you can handle.
And of course, have fun!

Sounds fun, I want to join. Also, can use an image for character appearance?

[LadyTale]

@PyroDash888 Of course you can~

[Ookawa]

@LadyTale Sorry, been away from my PC. Gonna write a CS when I get back tomorrow.

[LadyTale]

@PyroDash888 That's fine~

[Ookawa]

Question before I invest my time into making a character, because that's just how I do things, really invest time in it and so I don't want to waste it, will you still do this RP even if it were just the two of us?

[pockets]

Curiouser and curiouser.

I'm working on a novel that was actually inspired by watching SAO. This definitely has my attention.

[LadyTale]

@PyroDash888 Of course I will. I love SAO and I'd love to roleplay in that universe, even if I only had one companion. I've been wanting to do a roleplay like this for a while now, to be honest.

[pockets]

So is this still open then? I'd love to jump into this idea.

Second ^

A character sheet may or may not be up today. Don't believe in the miracle that it'll actually happen, just hope I can find enough ability to write something. Man I need to sleep more. Wait, what was I talking about. Oh right... CS making. Do now.

@Luckyshot67

It is! I still have to make a sheet, too.

[LadyTale]

All of my RP's are always open, unless expressly stated otherwise. So you never need to ask.

[pockets]

Awesome saucery. I've been considering a couple different character options. Problem is the weaponry. Lol.

I've got an idea for the characters history and such too.

[Yunagi]

Seeing as your RP's are always open, I'll have to start writing a CS!

[Kael]

I take it its ok to make a CS myself ? XD

[Yunagi]

Alright, character's posted, I suppose I'll have to put any background in an introductory post! Also, total coincidence my character has nearly the same eyes as my profile picture, it totally wasn't intentional!

[pockets]

Character posted. Looking forward to the game. :)

[Ookawa]

I hope that little thing I added is okay

[Temporary]

Wait, do we put it straight into the character tab?
