I've written 60% of a post but for some reason just can't make it sound right >:S

I'm also thinking of doing another RP if anyone's interested? (Sorry for advertising :P)

Sword Art Online

Hey, not meaning to steal this RP or anything but if anyone is interested I'm trying to set up an SAO RP myself :)

Sword Art Online: Second Server

The Silver Paladin said
I'm quite interested. I'm thinking about co-GMing. I want to join either Blood Dragons, or Order of the Devine (divine.)I also want to be the Leeroy jenkins of SAO.

That was quick, but I'm glad to hear it! Not sure how I'll pick co-GMs yet, but I'll let you know once I do.

p.s. thanks for correcting my spelling :P

Sword Art Online: Second Server

THE OOC IS NOW UP! STILL ACCEPTING!

Sword Art Online: Second Server

10,000 copies of Sword Art were sold and its unfortunate players became the headlines of news globally. 10,000 players were stuck in a virtual game where life and death became very real things. What was not so documented however were the pirate players… those that were stuck on second server.

The setting:
This RP is set in the word of Sword Art Online, which is an anime about players that get stuck in a virtual game. These players are told that they cannot log-out unless the game is cleared, and that death inside the game will cause death outside of the game. This RP will be set at the same time on ‘Second Server’, a server which the games creator set aside for players who purchased pirated versions of the game. This version of the game is similar in most ways but has 99 floors instead of 100 and is considered to be fairly harder, mostly because of the larger number of players (14,361).

Players will initially write one or two posts set at the start of the game where they receive the announcement that they are stuck in the game. There will then be a time-skip of (probably) around 6-months. Players will be given quite a lot of freedom, although I would urge them to stick to canon as much as possible (though tbf I’m not expert).

The primary story Arc will of course be about clearing the game, but there will be secondary plots that I have already thought of as well as plots designed or introduced by players. One of these Secondary plots will revolve around my character and the guild known as The Braziers, which I hope players will join! Others will revolve around guild conflicts. Players can be part of one of the Top-5 guilds or create their own.

Top 5:
Blood Dragons
The Night Fissures
The White Lotus
Order of the Divine
(Formally) The Braziers

Guilds

Braziers:
The Braziers serve primarily as a scout group. They have often been the first guild to explore a new floor and often are the ones who have fight sighted bosses. They keep their numbers very small so they are not suited to take on bosses alone, although they normally will take part in the raids alongside the other front-line guilds. The guild only consists of ten or less members at any given time and this is for a couple of reasons. Firstly it means that each individual player receives more and can grow stronger. And secondly it means the group can remain more tight-knit, which is good for trust as well good cohesion in battle. With the exception of ‘Guild President’, ‘Guild Vice-President’ and ‘Guild Secretary’, each member is named after the role they fulfill. In the guild hall they have plaques which record every fallen member and the position they filled.

The guild was very recently wiped out with the exception of the Guild VP, Hawke. It occurred less than five hours after the previous floor was cleared, and according to Hawke they accidentally stumbled across the next boss and were unable to escape. This is first occurrence of a non-escape boss room and many are suspicious, especially given that it meant Hawke allegedly finished the boss off solo. The guild is now recruiting but many are choosing to stay away from it and its new leader.

The Blood Dragons:
The Blood Dragons are perhaps one of the most secretive of guilds despite being the highest ranked guild. It’s believed they have around thirty-five members but no-one outside the guild is sure. Each member is recruited in secret and only when they have proved to be a powerful (or potentially powerful) player, and are not allowed to leave the guild. Unless they are in their hidden HQ each member wears a helmet to mask their identity and will be addressed by number. Members are forbidden from revealing their true identities to outsiders. It’s believed that they do this to prevent outsiders from targeting individual members or their weaknesses. Their leader is Blood General Iroh, and he often dictates how a raid will proceed. Because of their high ranking and secretive nature, many people are filled with both fear and awe when they see someone wearing their armour.

The Night Fissures:
The Night Fissures started off as a protection group, offering their services to lower ranked players. This included leading players through dungeons, to higher zones or even just protecting them from hostile players. The roguish leaders of the guild quickly became some of the games richest players and so naturally gained some equipment advantages which led to them eventually joining the front-lines. The guild has around thirty players, with the top six being much more powerful than the rest.

The White Lotus:
This server’s equivalent of Knights of the Blood. The guild consists of around thirty high leveled players. Whilst they are one of the bigger guilds, every member must prove to be an experienced fighter before joining. They try to act very moral and believe themselves to be above some other clans. Their armour varies from member to member, but each will wear mostly white and will wear the lotus arm band.

Order of the Devine:
This guild is the largest on the server, with around two thousand members. What distances it from other guilds isn’t actually its size, but rather the fact it is a Christian only guild. The guild understandably draws some tension, and there is even some infighting within it. Leadership or the guild changes on a fairly regular basis, with the old leader usually coming to an unfortunate end. Whilst the guild primarily believes in helping all players and beating the game, there are clearly some fanatics as well as players who are simply using the guild to further themselves. Some have argued that it is a player killing guild, but others argue that it’s unfair to judge the whole guild by the actions of a very small minority.

The Nightshades:
A notorious red guild, the Nightshades are believed to be assassins and bandits. Although the guild definitely existed in the early days it no longer is registered by the system. It’s unclear whether they have disbanded, been killed, or merely act in secrecy. Some have hypothesised that they act as puppeteers for other orange guilds, having infiltrated smaller groups.

If you are interested then of course say so! I’ll also be honest in saying that I might not be able to dedicate enough time to this, so I would love if one or two people who know SOA could apply to be Co-GMs! If you want to show that you are really interested then you can even send in an early version of a Character Sheet! I will warn however that as time progresses you will likely have to update your cs to reflect changes in the sheet and the RP.

Hawke

Real Name (Optional): Robert Hawke

Character Name: Hawke

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Stands at about 6ft2. Sturdy athletic build. Has a faint five o’clock shadow.

Beta-Tester?: Yes

Personality:
Hawke veers towards stoicism, but his emotional side can show when he loses friends or feels that he is unable to help. He is slow to trust but once someone has earned his friendship they will find that he is furiously loyal. He is prone to getting some mild blood lust whilst in combat, but not often to the point where he loses control or endangers others. He never backs down from a fight.

Brief Real Life Background:
Hawke worked as a security guard aboard various freighters. He would spend his free time doing one of three things: sleeping, drinking or gaming. His family weren’t a massive part of his life due simply because his job kept him far away from home. Two of his oldest friends, ‘Aang’ and ‘Maric the Red’ joined SAO with him and together than founded the guild known as “The Braziers”.

Game Background:
Very shortly after players were told about the nature of the game, Hawke, like many beta-testers, went off ahead to try an gain an advantage. This wasn’t out of complete selfishness however, and he took his (non-beta) friends with him. The Braziers were one of the first guilds founded on the server and they pledged to do all they could to help clear the game. In the following six-months rumours have started to spread that Hawke is somehow connected to the Nightshades. This rumour has perhaps grown significantly as recently Hawke emerged as the sole-survivor of his guild under unusual circumstances. The death of his guild, regardless of circumstance, is not something he is taking well although he does incredibly well to hide it.

3 Main Skills:

Two-handed Assault Spear

Light Metal Equipment

Parry

Special skill?: His spear grants him the ‘Berserker’ skill. This is a skill which he tends to keep a secret and not use.

Other skills:

Acrobatics

Sprint

Reveal

Current Weapon:Beserker’s Blood Spear

Current Armour: Standard light armour worn by Braziers

Play style (Optional): Aggressive damage dealer

Server downtime and community solutions

Ma-aahhhh-aaaazzzzz! Master of the universe!

Edward Vates – Kell

Vates sat crouched atop the edge of the pub rooftop like a gargoyle, completely still as he watched the commotion beneath him. He shuddered as yet another wave of the wind caught him and sent a breeze up areas he would rather have not left exposed. The boxers he wore offered little protection. Below a group of policemen were readying themselves for a raid, for narcotics by the sounds of it. “Erm… Dave…” came a worried voice of one of the guards who was now looking directly at Vates whilst trying to get his friends attention.

“What?” replied ‘Dave’.

“There’s a naked man watching us from the roof.”

Dave turned and looked up but Vates had retreated back out of sights and was now continuing along the rooftops. “Right… You need to lay of the blacksquig mate, it’s messing with your head.”

Vortex lay low against their little trench slope, looking out at ground level through the forest with her rifle scope in hand. It was eerily quiet and so every disturbance for a while off could be heard. She thought she had heard a crash or an explosion but wasn’t willing to go and confirm it. Time slowly drifted by as the group sat in complete silence. Each took their turn at getting some rest; two stayed on guard whilst the third slept. Vortex hardly got a wink though because she couldn’t help but feel that the two men were watching her. She wasn’t afraid of them, nor did she believe either would try anything anyway, but the feeling of having anyone watch her was enough to keep her awake.

“Movement to the south, my 10” whispered Kansas. Vortex slithered over to him, keeping her head below ground level as she moved across the trench. She quietly fixed her scope back on her rifle and gazed over to where Kansas directed. A fair distance ahead of her were at least two figures. Both were female, although she could only clearly see one. She was nimble looking with short brown hair and wore a red top.

“I think they’re hosts.” Vortex whispered. As a host she was not naturally adept at sensing other kages, but through her time as a hunter she had at least improved this ability by continuously practising in the field. She could not be completely sure from this distance, but she would certainly assume the worst of the two figures ahead. How many others had escaped Sovereign?

I don't think the problem has been this bad for long enough to bother moving. It's not that I've anything against other sites, in fact I came here from the UESP forums. It's just that it would be a pain to transfer each player and post over.

If the problem persists for a good measure of time however...

Hailstorm

I'll be happily surprised if I'm even able to post this, I've not really been able to get on at all. I'm not going to be so much as looking at the guild for the next two or three days starting from now. Zeph, feel free to post the collab as it is, or finish it off and post it (I trust you either way).

Sanctuary

Someone has got to collab with me :P

Vates and Vortex – Outskirts of Kell
“And what do you suggest then? Walk into town au naturel?” Kansas smirked as he continued to dig the little ditch. The four of them were still in the wild outside of Kell and were preparing a little camp. Kansas and Benny were digging a square ditch whilst Vates and Vortex made a small wall of bushes and branches around it. The layout would help them keep hidden, and at night they might even be able to get away with building a small fire.

“We can’t go into Kell wearing our Merc armour, we would get spotted and captured immediately. Sierra’s armour isn’t exactly subtle either.” Vates scratched the side of his head thoughtfully, “Maybe nude is the best way to go.”

“Are you joking? Or has the year in Sovereign just scrambled your head?” Vortex jibed nonchalantly.

“The three of you could stay here, maybe scout the area. I could strip down and sneak into the place at night, acquire some clothing and get us sorted out first thing in the morning. If I remember rightly this is a messy night of the week for Kell, so if I get spotted it might not seem that odd.” Vates looked at the others for their opinions but all he got was laughter.

“Why not sneak into Kell in your armour? Or do you really just want to show off your physique to us?” Vortex gave him a smile and a wink (and an increased heart beat).

“It’s too cumbersome to sneak around in. Besides, I’ll be better off being caught in the nude than in Merc armour.” And with that Vates begun getting undressed, much to the amusement of Kansas and Benny, and much to the interest of Vortex.
