Faust took the offered hand and shook it gently, taking in the person she was meeting.
"It's nice to meet you Static. You can call me Faust."
With this exhange she then turned her attention to the third party in the conversation. The one who had found them-self with a knee imprint on their face.
"urmmmm I'm a warrior class I think, we're going to visit the Black King, did you get her message aswell?"
Warrior, you think? Faust pondered this then a small smile formed on her face. A newbie, most likely.
"Yes, I think pretty much everyone received it." The healer remarked in response to the message in question. She hadn't given it much thought. The ebony strykers seemed a little too mysterious. She wasn't going to immediately trust in them, and honestly joining a guild that would soon be getting a massive influx of members would just make her feel more lost. Though these were judgments passed without any trustable knowledge. Maybe a visit would be good?
"A visit sounds interesting." She concluded with a thin smile. She could feel her want for action rising, and it was highly unlikely they could avoid it with this objective. After noticing herself lost in thought she blinked hard to shake it off. Good job, playing it cool, real smooth. "uh, how are we getting there by the by?"
A walk could be a good chance to get to know each-other, as well as maybe meet some rabble on the way. Though speed was always more convenient, and who knew how many people had already beaten them to the black king?
History: Nathan has always been the type to love games. He grew up on them and when he was gifted his D.G.P on his birthday he relished the large and expansive world to enjoy. Always the secluded one he lived in his room and played as much as he could, quickly joining into a guild and a party of new friends. Most of his life seems to have gone by in a blur and then centered around this time. He is nothing more then a player of this game. Elementary school bullies meant nothing, just like his illness, or his lost family. He lives with his mother and father in a meager house, though it's always been enough for them.
Personality: When online he is a confident and fun loving soul. He is always ready to help another and jump into the fray. He enjoys any time he can spend moving and playing and fighting. A ball of energy and a good ally to have in most situations. In reality of course is a secluded and estranged person, living inside his head. He has words set in his mind that he could never gather enough courage to say aloud, and his daydreams permeate who he is.
Appearance (Avatar): A tall, broad shouldered and square jawed character. He has a scar starting at his chin and reaching up to the bottom of his right eye. He has a head of dark brown hair, tied back to keep out of his piercing blue eyes. He is tanned in complexion and muscular in build, a classic knight looking fellow. He wears a thick armor of metal plating and boiled leather. He has straps all along his arms and around his waist. A blood red scarf is always found around his neck, usually covering his mouth. He has steel boots around his legs ornate with intricate designs of dragons and blades. He has four swords at his waist, two on each side.

Name: Ian Mallcahee
Age: 17
History: Ian was a calm and quiet child in his youth, who always looked up to his smart older brother. He waited for the day he could join his brother in D.G.O, even in they could only play together for one year. He lived in peace with his brother mother and father and studied decently well in school. He went through a growth spurt at an early age, and ended up teased for it for quite a long while, and has become somewhat bitter due to this. He began using his larger body to scare off anyone who seemed like a nuisance to him, and became a solitary person for the most part. Though he still had his main circle of friends. When the year finally came and he could join his legendary brother in the games, he was avoided. His brother ignored him as best as he could and never let him know what his online name was. They played in the same world but he refused to meet young Ian. After some time and deduction, the two brothers met in the game world. Never had Ian been let down so much. His brother who had told him tails of legendary skill and success, was nothing but an average off and on loser, going down the road to unsuccessful living. While this create an even bigger shell around Ian for some time, it also gave him a new fervor while playing. He refused to lose and fought like a madman, and has been on an amazing streak at most points of his D.G.O career.
Personality: Quiet and cold to most people when he first meets them. Not exactly rude but certainly cheeky. Sarcastic at heart now he hardly has a semblance of his cheery childhood self, though at times it may shine through, and a gleeful little kid may break his icy visage. He is a helpful person, though he does most things for his own gain, even if it is "for the experience". Refusing to be in any debt he is an active person, and not one to give into kindness easily.
Appearance (Avatar): In game Ian has kept his tall body, appearing mostly as he does in real life. He has the same blond shaggy hair, and the same complexion. His eyes have changed to a piercing yellow color though, as well as whatever fat he had, changed to muscle. Lanky in build his long appendages make him seem even taller then he is. He has a thick neck and is missing a pinky finger on his right hand. He wears a black 3 piece suit with a blood red tie and pocket square. Matching pants and dress shoes keep his all black persona intact. He wears black leather gloves added to this.

Name: Sofie Marx
Age: 13
History: Sofie has lived happily with her grandparents for as long as she can remember. Both her parents work abroad and rarely visit, though they support her wholly financially and write as often as possible. Sofie has always loved her parents, but sees them more as close relatives then what they are, her parents. Often spending days fishing, she loves the port town she has grown up in. While it is a small place with a smaller population, she has found a few good friends to spend her days with. She is an avid reader, though has gone through the library nearby a few times over, and treasures new books like diamonds. She was sent her G.D.O from her mother at her most recent birthday, much to her grandfathers discontent. While she would normally heed her gran pop's words, she couldn't bare getting left behind by her friends, and dived into the game whole-heartedly.
Personality: A bubbly and supportive soul, Sofie is a positive person, never letting things get her down. She is curious to a fault, and often throws caution away much to her loved ones discontent. She is a fast learner in most cases, and this created a lax approach to properly studying things. She prefers to move through things quickly and do all she can as fast as she can. A natural leader she is usually a good way to keep people smiling.
Appearance (Avatar): Looking similar to her real self, Sofie is a petite character. Her usually jet black afro is all white in the game world, and hey eyes a crystalline blue. She wears lightweight armor of cloth, with finger-less gloves and a thick wool scarf, all a light blue color with white accents. She has baggy pants and thick boots to protect her feet. She has a knife holster at each hip and one large on t her back, though that one remains empty at the time. She has a heart shaped face and slightly pudgy cheeks. Her eyes are large and round with long lashes. She has a small and rounded nose, often with a bandaid splayed across it's bridge. She has a spray of freckles across her cheeks and a small scar that looks like a plus sign above her left eye.

Name: Sara Mc'Drevious
Age: 16
History: A young woman who has at one point been threatened with disownment, now has her hands on a "stress reliever" gifted to her, like an offering lost to a storm spirit. She grew up a quiet and passive girl, though when she hit school she seemed to become distant quickly. Somehow it seemed she never made any friends or allies. A short history of violence and a long one of yelling, she avoided being caught for theft on multiple occasions, and has a sort of no speaking clause with her family. She is troubled yes, and she knows it. Secretly she hopes this new "toy" will help her find some people to talk with, though she has little hope. That and she is starting late, everyone knows you are supposed to join at age 14.
Personality: Due to a new world and a new identity she is somewhere between who she is and who she always wanted to be. She is an apprehensive person with a short fuse, though she would rather blow up on people who hurt friends then on those who simply get close. She has trouble reaching out but guards people who have fond their way to her like a demon. She tries her best to not hurt people, but sometimes words just slip out. She isn't exactly the sweetest, but she has a warmth in her that is hard to ignore.
Appearance (Avatar): Scarlet red hair and eyes matched with snow white skin, she is an interesting sight. Her body is toned and formed for combat. She is modest in the chest and hips, which her hair reaches down to. She has sharp features and red war paint on her cheeks. She wears black light armor made for a balance between mobility and defense. The insignia of a spider is tattooed on the back of her neck, as it is in real life. She wears all black gloves with a single red stripe down each arm, and a red star at the shoulders. A holster is ready under each shoulder.

Name: Maxy Oakly
Age: 15
History: Maxy has grown up in a wealthy home of new money parents. His father runs a business conglomerate that deals in oil, and his mother has overtaken an empire of property which is used to generate profit through various events and uses. Maxy has of course studied hard to sate his parents wishes for a successful child, but they have both come from places of different values then only money and success, and know not to push their child into something too forcefully. In all honesty, Maxy has a wonderful life, he hardly wants for anything and is given a healthy amount of challenge through schooling and discipline, while having loving parents to boot. He was in a little league team and was decently popular at school. He received the D.G.O at the youngest age possible, and has started down a road of rough and tumble which is teaching him in yet a new way. He is growing and loving his time spent in that world, where he can see things he never did from his ivory tower.
Personality: Maxy is not conceited. While he was raised in wealth he does not see people as unequal, and actually finds it hard to believe that anyone could. He has a deep love for most life, and an eternally forgiving heart for people. In all honesty is a bit too loving and naive, it can be considered a fault. Some would call him weak for his disposition, and of course he would forgive them for it. A young soul that needs experience, he is walking down the road of kindness, coming up to a wall of thorns.
Appearance (Avatar): Long shaggy hair of black tops his head, his complexion is tanned and his face is slightly boxed in shape. He has a heartwarming smile and large brown eyes full of innocence. He is a tad bit shorter then he is in real life, though certainly more well built. He wears a long robe of black gilded with purple and gold. A wide brimmed hat is usually found on his head. He has two long earrings of gemstones, pieced into his long elfish looking ears. He wears tall black boots that are also trimmed with gold, and bracelets of feathers and small bottles of tiny crystals.

Name: Evelyn McArthur
Age: 18
History: Evelyn comes from a family of many children, though she is the oldest, which affords her some comforts the others don't get. She get's the new clothes which turn into hand-me-downs, and the new toys the same rule. This also allows her to use the shared G.D.O the most, and on there she has finally made a group of friends her own age. It is her escape from her family, which she loves dearly, but honestly it can be overbearing. Her and her father have raised the kids in her mothers absence, but she needs time to be a kid herself. G.D.O is that chance. Her mother passed away years ago due to terminal illness, leaving Evelyn, her father, and her three other sisters.
Personality: Evelyn is the mom in any friend group. It has been drilled into her to care and fawn over any people she sees not being properly attended to. She is a kindly spirit who is often selfless, though in the game world she has taken to trying to break some of these habits and care more for herself. She loves to be in groups of people, though up to a point. Too many in the group and she looses her voice, becoming a little estranged and quiet. She is a busybody and likes to keep active, taking on a lot of responsibility.
Appearance (Avatar): Evelyn is a dark skinned and dark haired person. A shapely figure with a pointed chin and sharp eyes giver her a very commanding look. Her hair is wavy and flows down to her waist. She wears a form fitting robe of wine red lining and pure white cloth. Gloves and leggings of black are mostly hidden under this garment, as well as boots of the same black. Red earrings dangle from her ears in tear drop shapes. She is quite tall in her avatar form, standing near 6 feet. There is a ring on every finger of both her hands.

Age: 17
History: Daniel has lived a simple and boring life, to his discontent. Under his cool calm and monotonous demeanor there is a starry eyed boy looking for adventure in everything. An avid daydreamer he has spent many classes doodling heroes or writing their stories over math questions. He has always a had a small but close knit group of friends, who unlike him are quite satisfied with their usual routine. An odd relationship, he and his companions mostly communicated through school and hardly left their own homes. Once Daniel received his D.G.O he leapt at the chance to adventure. While his friends joined him, they soon found him leaving them behind. He went on to new and better things, charging through quests and getting more immersed in the world then they ever really thought to. Daniel has found a world to play in, and his largest fear is having to leave it.
Personality: A bit dry, Daniel isn't exactly the most elated being. While he relishes all chances to get out and play in D.G.O his personality does not reflect that thirst. He is a quiet and slightly sarcastic person with good intentions, who needs to learn to take things seriously. He enjoys what he does and doesn't care what people come to think of him while he does it.
Appearance (Avatar): Daniel is a tall and lanky character in-game. He has broad shoulders and large hands, with somewhat a gangly appearance. His hair is long, nearly reaching his shoulders. He has deep purple eyes with odd diamond shaped pupils. His ears are long, and elfish in appearance. A scar in the shape of an "X" is presented direct center of his forehead. He wears long flowing robes of black and silver, with a purple shirt underneath and silver armor pieces in specific locations such as his chest, shoulders and knees. He has silver boots to match.

Name: Alex Wallden
Age: 14
History: Alex has grown up completely engrossed in the world of cartoons, comics and fantasy. He has gone so far as believing he himself is in fact living in a fantasy world. Or at least sometimes he does. At almost random times Alex will fall down the rabbit hole, and become completely a part of a world in his head. At times like this he acts nonsensical, and spouts lines of "saving the kingdom" or "stopping the her evil rule". His delusions have been reported by the school to his parents, though he has shown no signs of it around them. Nor did anything arise when he was taken to speak with the social worker. This mindset being an anomaly, his parents reluctantly bought him his D.G.O. While they always fear it will feed into his way of thinking, he doesn't show that of course, it is. Falling ever deeper into his own fairy tale, Alex is at risk of losing connection with reality.
Personality: Depends on the time. If he is in the real world, alongside his parents or simply feeling natural, he is a calm child. Sharing in nature and a little stubborn. Somewhat fearful of things unknown and apprehensive to try new things. If he is wonderland or playing games, he is a classic protagonist type character. He is heroic and selfless, doing anything he can for others with reckless abandon. Ignoring danger and diving headlong into the unknown, he is brash and yet kind. A danger to evil and himself.
Appearance (Avatar): Short though with a toned body, and a set of heavy armor. He has a head of soft brown hair, always a mess. His face is heart shaped and his eyes a sparkling blue. He has a dark complexion with full lips and a innocent smile. His armor is a simple design of iron, with brown rucksack pants and leather boots. A simple broadsword hangs at his hip. A shield of iron, with a dove insignia on it is on his left arm.

Name: Ross Ruvrick
Age: 15
History: Ross is a curious person. Often his nose can be found in a book, and he is more the type to watch then to do. He is a person who can take in keen details, and he always has been. He is also the type to think he is better then others, and always has been. This narcissistic outlook has left him lonely at most times, though he does have one or two friends who either want to help him think otherwise, or simply deny how truthful he is in his words. He is an only child and enjoys it that way. He is decently close with his father, who is a teacher. Ross looks up to his father for his intellect and has taken after him in quite a few ways. His interest in gardening and the study of fungus are two examples. He is distant with his mother, and doesn't spend much time with her, by design. Once he recieved his game he ignored it at first, thinking it a waste of time. Though one rainy day, with his father gone and all his books read through many a time, he decided to play. Fining a new and interesting world to explore, he slowly found himself becoming involved with it. Not necessarily succeeding at the game, unlike most others of his endeavors, it became the most interesting thin to him, a challenge. He spent more and more time in the game, and eventually found it a part of his routine. His in game friends are slwoly helping him enjoy himself and have a softer look on others.
Personality: Somewhat cold and commanding. Snotty, in the way that he expects things to go his way, and is upset when they don't. When he regards a person as an equal or better, it is quite obvious. He will be much more courteous for them, and do most favors for them with little problem. He is sarcastic and makes clear of his snide remarks to others. Privileged in a word.
Appearance (Avatar): Pale skinned and blond haired, with a flat nose and dull blue eyes, he has a sort of bored look to him at all times. His face is heart shaped and his cheeks defined. He has a slender figure and wears fanciful robes of deep red with gold detailing. His boots are black with matching gold buttons and his pants solid black, with three brown belts around his waist. He has a hood which is usually kept down, and a wooden staff in one hand. A silver dagger is found in the other.

Name: Suki Maya
Age: 16
History: Suki grew up in the big city, living a life of common outings and pleasantries with her friends. She was a relatively popular girl at school, despite marching to the beat of her own drum. She Is striving to be nothing then herself, she just isn't sure who that is yet. After moving to a much smaller city, and away from her friends, she has used D.G.O as a way to keep in contact with them, as well as play out different personas and see which feels most natural. She is a team player and refused to solo at any times. This has brought her into the green guild quickly. She rose in their ranks as quickly as someone of her game time could, and is often helpful to newbies.
Personality: A bit apathetic, in the way that she chooses to do what she wants. She will ignore a person almost wholly if something else has gotten her attention. She loves to meet new people, though it is a challenge at times to stay a long term friend with her, as she usually moves at a quick pace without care. She is blunt and yet kind, not really mincing words.
Appearance (Avatar): A petite girl with long purple hair that reaches her mid-back. She has a pale complexion (unlike in real life) and thin eyes of startling red. Her jaw is defined and her nose thin. She haws a tattoo of purple lines under each eye, which continue off to each ear. She wears a long black coat around her at all times. Under this she has more black clothing with scant armor over it. The most noticeable feature she dotes is the two large metal fists she has. Each with an eye on their tops. They are mechanical in design and the black paint is chipped and scraped white all over.
Mathew took the watchers role as people continued to come and speak. He watched and listened as they did, trying to take in faces and words, and not to mention personalities. He didn't want to speak in on anything here, as he was well, the new guy. He looked to the tent that the orc had seemed to take special note of. It must have been the quartermasters tent. He would have to take note of that for certain.
His role as a watching eye was broken when yet another introduced themselves. A quick and proper handshake from the man and he began to speak. Stopping himself partway through, it seemed pretty obvious this man was the leader, or at least usually. The orc, Vlor had given off the same impression, and perhaps this time that is how it was? It would make sense. Mathew just sort of shifted on his feet and fixed his strap on his shoulder yet again.
He was unsure exactly of what their immediate action was to be.
Depends on the equipment. Light Leather armor for example isn't really going to increase your physical defense much, where has Heavy Full Plate will, but at the expanse of lowering your agility. Weapons themselves have level limits, do only a certain average amount of damage, and don't really add to your stats so much as scale off of them. A dagger for example would only do a measly 1d4 (That is to say, you could do anywhere between 1 to 4 damage a hit, out of the usual 100 that most players have) but their DPS scales with agility, meaning that having a higher then average agility would allow you to string together more dagger attacks. 4d4 can do a bit more damage then a 2d8, at the minimum. And that's not even including unique boss weapons which may indeed increase your stats or give you access to special attacks.
I'm actually working a system on that. But basically everyone depending on your class has a baseline stats divided into six categories: Health, Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Magical Attack, Magical Defense, and Agility. Depending on your class depends on how the stat spread is, but for the most part all, say, Warriors have the same baseline stats. However the Feats and Abilities granted by your characters alters and edits these stats accordingly. I'm still hammering out those details amongst other details, but I'm going to have Windel present it once it's all done.
The reason a level 1 could stand toe-to-toe to a level 9 is because unless most of their abilities have been made to increase stats instead of granting them more attack options, statistically they're identical. While a level 9 will have much more in their arsenal, a level 1 warrior and a level 9 warrior are nearly identical statistically, aside from Feat Buffs. And even then that's where simple combat skill comes into play.
How do our stats work? If as said in the OP a level one character actually has a decent chance against a level 9 one, does that mean they don't really raise much by level?
Do they raise by class and items mostly or by whatever actions are repeated? (similar to skyrim, where shooting a bow adds to leveling up the bow stat)
EDIT: Preemptively apologizing if this has already been answered lol
