SAO/AFO(Sword Art Online Rp idea and group building.)

[ManoftheNorth]

Howdy everyone, I am putting this up because I want to start up a SAO rp. This can either be set in Sword Art Online or ALFheim Online, whichever gets the majorities vote. The idea itself though, once the mechanics and kinks are worked out, is I want to run an Rp in one of these two setting, without the Anime/Novel's Arcs. I am planning to build an Rp in which we get to experience the vast content and entirety of the universe.

I am hoping to get a decent number of people so we can have a good group to Rp with, and perhaps even coordinate characters to allow our parties to be balanced. I will say this though, I will never MAKE someone play a character they don't want, but it is wise to keep in mind that in these setting, it is a VRMMO and formations, classes, and skills are beneficial and effective if planned out to work with other party member's classes, formations, and skills.

Anyway, I hope there are people interested, and I hope to have a great group to work with. ~ Austin.

If we do AFO, would it be a death game?

[ManoftheNorth]

No, AFO would not be a death game.

Well hello north. It's just coincidence that I found this, but it certainly sounds interesting. I don't know AFO, but I do know SAO

[ManoftheNorth]

Ah, yes welcome. I am happy to have you here. I am uncertain though if we will get enough interest, I will give several days though, optimism is best served with patience.

[Phobos]

I have a decent knowledge of both so I am interested in either one of the rps ^.^

[ManoftheNorth]

Wonderful, welcome aboard. I had hoped the "Groups" feature of the old site would have been put back up by now, or at least a replacement-style back-up, but oh well. The main thing I wanted that for was to allow us, as roleplayers, to fill in the gaps of the universe.

For example: In AFO there are spells, spells are set up in elemental categories, and they are described as being very vast, but even the Wiki only has a handful of spells named from the light novels and the show. So I, as a person of group Rp interest, like rps that allow the Players to experience a new world and we will likely have the opportunity to fill in these blanks in our own ways, for whichever one we go with, as both have their share of pros and cons.

Isn't it ALO, not AFO?

[ManoftheNorth]

Perhaps. XD Either way, everyone knows what I am talking about. I mean, honestly both letters are in the full name, so I imagine it doesn't really matter.

[Lost Cause]

Well most of the places I've seen used ALO to refer to the setting of the Fairy Dance arc, so... But yeah, I guess either's good.

[ManoftheNorth]

I am usually a stickler for details, but if it is something minor, that the majority overlooks, because they know what you are talking about, it is not a big deal. Anyway, are you interested, or just here to make that note? ^^ I am happy to accept more, and more.

-jumps up and down waving her hands around- Me! Me! Oh choose me! I loooooooooooove SAO and ALO!!!

[Lost Cause]

Yeah, I'm interested.

[ManoftheNorth]

Wonderful, I am glad to have you both aboard. This should be enough to at least get an OOC up so we can start talking about which Arc we would prefer to do. I will have one up by later this evening.. It is like 4:30 in the morning, so I will need to get some sleep before I do any big writing.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

I'm interested in this. I prefer the SAO world, personally.
