ooh...I actually like the sound of this RP. A lot of originality and potential here. I'm interested in that haunted mind fellow.
but if you have to work that hard for just detail then you've lost the point in writing. This is story telling. Its about the emotion, of interacting as one with all the senses to weave a grand story in it. It isn't table top gaming. You shouldn't need numbers in story writing.
That doesnt mean there shouldnt be stats in this kind of world, but they arent needed to determine the story. I mean look at SAO. You see character stats mentioned, and they play a part in the interactions between individuals in the series. But when it comes to the story they have no place in where things are progressing. You don't see dps or saving throws or whatever jargon is used for that sort of thing.

hmm... I know I've seen a couple of SAO RPs around, but nothing in GGO or ALO yet. I would be interested. The VRMMO type RP I have initially signed up for is quickly loosing my commitment so I would have no issue with bringing that character over. Of course you are going to have to work out what the RP is going to be story wise.
As for stats, personally I am against them. I have never seen an RP work with them. I prefer it to be a character driven story instead of being driven by stats and all that other nonsense that takes away from the story.

Welcome LostGirl.
Actually I always had a bad habit of lingering around with hands in my pockets when bored. But outside of my basic training and AIT I never had an NCO in my face about anything. Its kind of counter productive outside of a training environment. Usually if I did something an NCO or officer didn't like they would pull me to the side and tell me. Not that I didn't see my fair share of officers yelling. Once when our company was doing some training exercises prior to our deployment our company commander got on a bull horn and started to yell and cuss us out because we weren't shutting up fast enough for him.
You aren't going to attract people with that attitude. OOC is everything in selling your RP. If you are not even going to put in the effort to show you have the RP thought out in OOC then this will fail. As it is everyone has said they aren't fully committing until they get a proper OOC outline.

The name of the MMO is Realms, and the characters aren't initially set up as stuck in the game. It's something that's going to happen fairly early on, and will be roleplayed out.
Isn't that how it always happens. Still no reason to leave those details out. Look I'm gonna help you, because clearly you aren't putting effort into this and I'd hate to see all these nice people who supported you get driven off. I've never been good with writing these kinds of intros to I apologize to every. But remember to either put this in your first post blaze, or if it inspires you to write your own then write that and put it in your first OOC post (that part is extremely important as Scarifar said).
Realms. A world of new possibility. A world of many unique realms on the verge of chaos as a darkness begins to cloud the lands. In the midst of war new heroes are called into the world. Champions to fight for the purity of the Realms, but whose side will they fight for?
Realms is, while not the first, is a new VRMMO unlike any other. Using the latest in dive technology, the user is able to interact in a fully immersive world full of magic. Fight for the Realms and use your strength to free the world, or become swayed by the darkness and help plunge Realms into tyranny. The choice is yours.

From here I am sure you can fill in some of the details, like what it is that will get us eventually trapped, and will it kill use or are our minds just trapped. Who it is was or just a freak accident.
So I am gonna start the beginnings of a CS, but I'm not gonna commit to anymore until this RP is a little more fleshed out. As of right now the only thing you have that tells us what the hell the RP is about is the title, and that isn't enough. Write some backstory about the world of the game. How big is it supposed to be. How did we get stuck in it(which I assume is part of the RP based on your 2 interests checks). What goals to we have to be free, etc. Right now I can't even tell if the world is supposed to be fantasy or sci-fi.
That being said, as for my character, I'll admit I only got the idea for her because I am in the process of reading the Spice & Wolf light novels. So I really wanted to RP a Holo-esque character. She isn't any of the races listed in that small CS, but I figure it doesn't have to be limited. I've seen races like this in MMOs before, but I really couldn't even remember what they were called. So I left the race blank until either I can make up a name, find an MMO race to use, or some other ruling is made on the character. But once the RP details have more weight to them I will start to add more to the CS.

None at the moment. I just want to see how this world will be shaped, as you lack those kinds of details.
