[OOC] Morpheus Online

[Fowlishness]

Hello again, and, In that case, yes you can, but he or she will have to have some knowledge of either Japanese or Chinese, to understand everyone.

[Sicarius]

Yeah, I had been thinking of that... and... why is the game in either Chinese and/or Japanese? I mean, all asian MMOs I've played that weren't for a specific country when released for all of Oceasia were in English(bad English but ya know). Not all Asians are Chinese or Japanese nor know those languages. The characters are all more likely to know English if they don't live in either of those countries.

Though if this messes up with your grand scheme, we learn Japanese or Chinese as a school requirement.

End rant.

EDIT:

Oh, also been wondering what MMO would you compare Morpheus online to in terms of setting and the rest? Just not so much detail actually been said. Do we have classes, lvls or is it a point based system? Fantasy, sci-fi? I always imagine VRMMORPG like a big fantasy world like WoW, Tera, Sword Art Online(cough). Also, will we have magic? I love me some magic.

Second edit: Can we swear? What's the game's rating?

[Fowlishness]

Well, in this fictional future China is now the most known and powerful country in the world, and thus Chinese became what English is today. As for Morpheus, I would put the levelling system by levels and experience points, just with a different setting. As forswearing, this is PG-13, so as long as you don't make more swear than ordinary words... go ahead! :)

[Sicarius]

I should of known: World domination. Anyway, if that's the case they'd obviously know Chinese. Shall start work on a cs right away.

Edit:

Let the angst flow through you.

Name: John Anderson [Better known online as “Atlas”]
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: He stands, well, sits at 5’10 and isn’t a particularly healthy looking individual. However besides the obvious aversion to the sun, and perhaps food, he has a rather average perhaps mundane look to him. A natural brunette, his chestnut hair falls to below his lower jaw and is often kept tucked behind his ears as the strands often fall into his equally brown eyes. His face seems to be clinging desperately to childhood, childish yet his cheeks have started to hollow out.

Personality: His attitude to the outside world is that of apathy, he does not care for it and if pushed can turn hostile. John or Atlas as he has taken to be called has rejected the world and dived into the place known as the internet; where all the problems and his physical & mental limitations melt away. Here, he is a confident, outgoing and even mischievous individual. Here, online, he holds no fears besides having to return to his useless existence when he logs out.

Likes: Obviously the internet, video games, books, anything that will transport him to a far more interesting world. He also likes the color blue, vanilla ice cream, pockey and electronica music.
Dislikes: Work, school, people irl, pity, stress, alcohol
Fears: Death & becoming an ordinary person, the kind of guy who works 9-5 and comes home to drown the day in beer.
Dream: “I don’t think I have one, I’m not sure I ever had one.”

This seems interesting, reserving a character slot here

[Fowlishness]

Sure, Swarley.

And the angsty man is accepted!

[Shinra]

This is my style of fantasy, albeit with a twist.

Name: Takahashi Tatsuhiro
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Fish or Die!

Personality: Tatsuhiro prefers if it you'd call him 'Hiro', first and foremost. All new acquaintances will be subject to this statement unless they're his superior of any sort, they work for a public service, or if it's a girl and she makes him feel all weird inside (wink wink). Calling him anything else will always facilitate a glare from his cold, deathly gaze in the person's direction. Other than that, though, he's completely harmless, unless maybe if you're bad at karaoke and are proud of it. Tatsuhiro is not a troubled youth of any sort, but you wouldn't be able to guess that from his appearance alone. He rarely ever smiles or has his face light up (except for strewing it into an anxious mess in some situations), but inside he's sociable, caring, and generous. That's just how he is; he prefers to express himself through his words and actions. As a result of losing a friend in the accident that cost him his left arm, he puts family and friends above all else, even himself. His diet is 99% fish.

Likes: Cooking and eating fish, listening to game soundtracks, wrapping bandages over his prosthetic arm, pineapple-flavored ice-cream, people calling him 'Hiro'.
Dislikes: Making people worry about him, people who're bad at singing yet think otherwise, taking off his hat, looking at his prosthetic arm.
Fears: Losing any other one of his limbs and his "limbs", being considered useless and a "cripple".
Dream: To sail around the entire world and eat barbecued fish all day.

[Fowlishness]

Heh, I like him. He should eat more than fish though, that darn hippie! Dx
Accepted!

[Sicarius]

How many you wanting for this before we begin?

[Fowlishness]

I'll kick this off as soon as possible, actually.

[Swarley]

Name: Frances Taylor
Age: 24
Gender: Female

Personality: Mostly just easygoing and not looking to pick fights with people, she's the kind of person who would rather stay in and watch a movie than go out and party. That being said, since moving away from America her social skills have not exactly been up to par with the Chinese norm and she's had to adjust to the social structure as well as the language so going out has not really been much of an option for her recently.

Likes: Old movies and music (By 2114 standards), making music, caffeinated beverages, kittens, her old friends, normal people stuff
Dislikes: Spicy food, record executives, her current occupation
Fears: An absolutely crippling fear of insects and arachnids
Dream: To become an artistically and fiscally successful musician.

[Fowlishness]

I loved this! Gotta fear those creepy crawlies!
Accepted!

[VitaVitaAR]

I... need to decide what to have Chie doing. ^^; Hmm.

[TheyMostlyComeAtNight]

Name:

Bao Ning Ran

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Bao stands at around 5'8, has 'past-time for a haircut' short hair -normally unkept- and an inability to pick well ironed clothes out of a wardrobe, although that wardrobe may infact contain plenty of well ironed and expensive clothes.

Personality: Most people would describe Bao as scatter brained, someone's forgotten their lunch? probably Bao, someone's tripped in the hallway spilling coffee all over the head of department? that would be Bao. Of course scatter brained doesn't quite do Bao justice, a better term would be focused, unfortunately his focus seems to have left little room for small matters like what he's going to eat, what he is supposed to be doing and putting one foot infront of the other!

Needless to say Bao's 'focus' on online gaming had not impressed his parents, although his stellar grades and acceptance into a good university had gone some way to keeping them satisfied.

Likes: Online-Gaming, American Popping candy, reading obscure early 21st century fantasy/sci-fi novels..

Dislikes: Physical exertion, Bright sunlight, being disturbed by his parents, formulating coherent sentences when in conversation with members of the other sex.

Fears: Public embarrassment, heights.

Dream: To be 'the popular kid on the block'.

[Fowlishness]

Accepted.

[TheyMostlyComeAtNight]

Thanks!

So should our first IC post be how we actually got our hands on the game?

[Fowlishness]

That or anticipating the time when the game will go online ,yes. :)

[VitaVitaAR]

So I have some idea of what Chie will be doing!

... She will be going home from school after being reprimanded for coming to school dressed as one of the 100th anniversary Precure.

[Shinra]

So we get to choose any race we like? And I'm excited to imagine how the avatar-making sequence would go like.

[VitaVitaAR]

Whatever race Chie picks, she's going to look very similar to her real self.

... Because tiny mage loli looking unimpressed at everything and kicking people in the shin is amazing.
