So thats at least three people interested in this. ^^

I'd like to get involved and learn more of the setting you're teasing us with. For example, I'd love to hear more about the world outside the VR MMO. We know there was a craze for these type of games now that Virtual Reality was more serviceable as a platform, but what about the world outside of said games? Did significant events occur that would effect our characters background? When it comes to being creative, how far can we go with the modern setting provided? The campaign you offer is sure to be interesting, but a lot of times, there are background factors to the individuals playing these games. One cannot be in VR all the time, they have lives outside of it.

Admittedly, I'm rather curious to see where you go from this. Consider my interest piqued.

Significant events? Its still similar to the modern world we have now, but there are several technological advances made like robotic prosthesis with actual tactile feedback, exoskeletons for the old being feasible, though VR tech had jumped leaps and bounds far ahead of the other techs. Its the future but not too futuristic to have full androids working as your maids, if that makes sense. ^^;

As for being creative, well, id say within limits of common sense for the actual notmmo people? An actual assassin who works for the goverment's secret police who wields dual blades is kinda too out there for an actual person after all. People making up their backstory in the actual mmo game is alright though.
