[center] In the modern day there has been many kinds of Virtual Reality MMORPG's released with verity of styles of gameplay. But the newest one has attracted many people's attention. Summoners A-rise the first VRMMORPG that features Summoning as it's main feature, there would be multiple types of summoner classes that each focus their roles differently, though these classes aren't chosen like normal MMORPGs these are 'archetypes' that people simply build their skills around. There are those that fight side by side on the front lines with their summons, there are those that support their summon from behind, and so on. There is countless ways they both assist and use their summons, not to mention the verity of summons themselves. The system seems to allow creation of brand new items, those who go into crafting can create items by trial and error sense there is no recipe system. It's all about guess work and experimentation, from testing out various herbs with a alchemy kit, to smelting down various metals and attempted to forge it into something, even things like tailoring and Wood work require trial, error, and experimentation. This game with it's various mechanics attached the minds of many to it, but after the first day logging in.. they realized the game itself was a trap. Millions to Billions of players became trapped in this world that seems to continuously expand, they would all have a set amount of lives.. and if they lose those lives they will die for good. There is various ways to gain more lives though the summoning system but the methods are still mysterious even to the beta testers. [hider=Summons and Summoner Ranking System and Info] Summons all follow a Rank system 1-10 bronze stars, 1-10 Silver stars, 1-10 Gold starts 1-10 Galaxy Stars. from same order as place they go from weakest (1 bronze star) to strongest (10 galaxy stars). As summons gain strength (levels) throughout their adventures with their summoners, they can rank up meaning they could go from 1 bronze star to 10 galaxy star eventually. At the end of each Star rank should they fill the requirements to go to the next star they can then evolve into a stronger from that is similar to their original type. for some summoned beings this is just stages in their life like a pup becoming a fully grown wolf from going from bronze to silver, then at gold evolve into a werewolf, some summons will develop through out each rank up no matter if it's just adding more stars or going to the next stage of stars. All summons at start of the rp will be from 1-5 bronze stars, summoners can gain more then one summon, if they meet the right requirements. Summons are technically immortal, should they be 'killed' in battle, depending on their rank they will either have to wait for a set amount of time before they can be resummoned, or a ritual must be preformed to bring them back into the world. Summons can be nearly any type of being, from a simple wolf, to a god like being (only in 10 galaxy stars), to a sentient weapons that can provide special skills depending on it's form and rank. Summoners have a similar ranking system as well, but for them to rank up they must participate in tournaments across the world in different towns under the watchful eye of more powerful beings. Should they break any of the rules they will be instantly killed on the spot, which wont be to much of a problem if they still have multiple lives, otherwise... If they can win the tournament then they will be given a quest to complete once they complete the quest they will be given a special item that will rank them up to the next stage. Each rank grants them an extra summoned being which they have to fulfill quests to be allowed to summon, and special skills they can gain through secret methods will allow them to call forth more summons as well. the summoning system isn't always reliable it can be affected by the player's starting skills, and some times can be totally different to what they desire, which causes players to diversify so much. some summons are only good for helping on crafting, some only good in combat, etc.... though players tend to find a life that suits them.
