As soon as he was spawned in, Lugh quickly began to adjust to his new virtual body, not paying too much attention to the events around him. At first, they were merely simple movements such as flexing and wiggling his fingers and toes, then evolved to small exercises such as jumping jacks and stretches. While calibrating himself with his new body's movements, Lugh also wanted to observe how much his stats had a bearing on his physical capabilities within the game.

It was then that Lugh noticed everyone else's newly spawned characters, some of whom seemed to be having difficulties moving around, or even standing. Perhaps they also did some jumping jacks, but had less points in END? Lugh shrugged it off, remembering then that it was around the time his friends would also be online. At this point of the game, Lugh would have preferred to go through all the tutorials on his lonesome before meeting up with his companions, but seeing that they'd all likely be around, he instead cleared his throat and prepared to bellow out the "secret phrase" he had told them on the 'Cord that he'll shout so they could easily identify and add his avatar.

"Snakes have no arms and that bothers me!"

Taking a brief moment to admire how deep and mature his voice was, Lugh nodded in satisfaction before making his way to the Keystone. Perhaps this was all it took to select his beginning class and maybe even retrieve some starting gear?

I feel like video games as a common connection seems expected of this sort of RP, no matter how varied the cast is imo. Could add one more there.

Overall, Lew seems like the kind of guy who is passionate about fictional and non-fictional animals, adoring them and talking about them in a similar matter that a zoologist does. He portrays a similar, but more subdued interest in Japanese media, and is probably the guy you go to if you want a new VN or something. One thing to note is that Lew's also surprisingly not militant about his interests, either, and is the type to welcome anyone to his broad range of hobbies.

The only thing that he doesn't openly broadcast is his more "weird" interests, but even then he at least doesn't actually creep on about them like he does IRL.

Uhh if anyone wants to know Lew for more than 4 years, I can say he was a very different individual back in the day.

Teen!Lew was a toxic shut-in who ranted to his closest confidants about how shitty the gacha was, and passively criticized others of their tastes if any monster girls were brought up.

Adult!Lew was probably a slow development into maturity rather than a full 180. Maybe it was because he finally had his own house and wasn't a shut-in leech for his parents, or maybe because he was done being bullied in school. While Lew never shares much about his personal life, he does seem to talk about animal encounters a whole lot, so the only thing that's obvious about him was he works with animals to some degree. In any case, he's now wayy less toxic about things, but he still groans about the gacha to the close online friends who knew him before.

So basically just instinct vs. experience then, I'm presuming. Ah well, time to meatshield.

So who wants to be unfortunate enough to be well acquainted with Lew?

Bit of a loaded question, but how does DEX play into a manual combat player's fighting ability? Does it actually affect their in-game skill in some way, or does it work more like game stats where your chance of hitting is calculated partly by stats and not taking into account your prior skill?

I guess a good example for my question is what would the difference be between an average Joe with a bow and like 8934589342573245 DEX against someone who happens to be an Olympian gold medalist archer with like below average DEX, assuming they're both playing Manual?

As soon as Lew began his first trek into this strange, new world, he was absolutely astounded at what was before him. Truly the marketing for Cacophony Concord did not lie! In particular, the vast display of the various monsters of this world brought a great sense of interest to Lew. The thought of potentially being up close and personal with them filled Lew with a sense of optimism and excitement that he hadn't felt since he was a child. Of course, these detailed models also would mean that any monster girls Lew would run into would be just as magnificent, if not moreso. These thoughts filled Lew with a different, more adult form of optimism and excitement.

Soon, the cinematic began to die down to a collage of flashing lights and explosions before a proper introduction was made by a very over-sized owl. Lew couldn't help but scrutinize this creature in detail, his interest in this game's fauna increasing. Aside from his own degenerate interests, Lew always had a genuine interest in animals, both real and fantastical. The joy of observing their behavior and studying their different traits, understanding what makes them different from humans... Such things brought a sense of joy and fulfillment to Lew.

Sadly, Lew's admiration of this game's art was quickly interrupted with his own naked form. Taking a moment to study each meticulous slider, Lew decided the easiest thing to do was to just make himself look more idealized. The first thing Lew worked on was his height, ramping it up to a full six feet so he isn't stuck at the humiliating halfway mark to manhood in-game. Next up was to make himself look more worldly and wise, definitely older than how he actually is. The end product was... not fantastic, but satisfying enough and arguably better than what he looked like in real life.

Next was the attributes. Average was always safe, but Lew felt that specializing in some way would help him go through the early game more easily in order to reach his true goal. In the end, he settled with a build that would rely on simply being hard to kill to some degree. The idea of manipulating the forces of magic was not of any true concern or interest for Lew, and magical defense would be easily made up with either equipment or perhaps something he'd develop later down the line. As for dealing damage, Lew figured it would be much better to learn the game's mechanics and intricacies by outlasting his opponents, especially early on. In that regard, it was a godsend that Endurance ended up being both the skill for durability and recovery. Weapon skills didn't matter too much as he aimed to something simple but reliable at first, like a spear.

As for the user experience? Well, it's just what one would suspect if they knew Lew on a personal level.

Video Game Enjoyer

Name: Russel Kele

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Nationality: Chinese-American

Description: The youngest and smallest of five brothers, Russel is the stereotypical nerd, a reclusive computer science major with no friends and practically zero social media presence. Contrary to the belief of his peers, this isn't because he's antisocial. Instead, he takes on the identity of a completely different person online, going to lengths such as digitally creating his own online persona, complete with an avatar to boot. This persona is the polar opposite of Russel, representing the person he wishes he could be coupled with the overcoming of his own personal insecurities. While at first made back when he was 14 in order to seem like a cool guy to the people he met online, it has since evolved into a way for Russel to become a useful person people actually enjoy spending time with, a desire born out of his parents' constant belittling.

On the net, he goes by the name of Russ, a 26-year-old mechanic who enjoys traveling, lifting, and all forms of outdoor activities. Of course, Russel has never done any of these things before, so a lot of his "experiences" come from far too much time spent looking up and studying other people who have, as well as having brothers who actually do work out and talk to women. While at first nothing but a mere hyperbole of the "alpha chad," Russ has evolved into a generally positive presence online, open to giving others lifestyle tips and opting to play unloved roles in video games, such as healers and support classes. It helped that his voice was already naturally deep, although he has deepfaked a few times when asked to video chat with his friends.

As of last year, Russ has been unable to game with his friends as often as he did in the past, chalking it up to "traveling the world." Of course, it's really because his university classes have made him much busier than he was in the past. This past year alone, he has taken great pains into optimizing his time so that he doesn't disappear on his friends, even going so far as to grind in the late hours of the evening so that he wouldn't be too far behind. After all, what's there not to love about a game where he could actually be the chad he says he is online?
