Just a few notes regarding character design...

• Consult GM if you need to. Ask GM with anything and everything you need, rather than just assume. GM's word is law. But GM is happy to discuss and share thoughts with you.
• When creating your Player character, remember that your Player may be the one transported to isekai. Make them interesting, make them someone who can lead an epic tale rather than squander the opportunity and rot. Due to how the RP is set up, a HUGE chunk of the story depends entirely on that one Player. If you know that you don't have the ability to lead such a large scale operation, let the GM know.
• Just remember that its your Player character, not "you" who is creating the NPCs.
  
  1. We'll have to be relative about balance since it's not a number-rolling tabletop rpg. Just remember, powergamers aren't often appreciated and literally no one likes Mary Sues.
  2. Your characters aren't required to be Level 100. But if they are, Their "balanced" Attributes across the board would range right around S rank. One or two may be above S. 2-4 Skills on the S rank with 1 or so above S. Level 90s would be around AAA to AA. Use your own judgement for lower Levels.
  3. All your characters combined (Player + Custom NPCs) may have up to Level 300. Meaning, you can create 1 Level 100 Player and 2 Level 100 NPCs. This may be shared around between us. For instance, if Person 1 wishes to only create up to 200 Levels worth of stuff, they may "give" the extra 100 Levels to another person who wishes to create more materials.
  4. We'll give ourselves 1,000,000,000 currency to work with. Roughly it's enough for 10 Ultimate-Transcendent items and 2,000 Legendary items. But that's not all. Whatever we have leftover after character creation is what we get to work with when building our Guild House and Guild communal items, effects, generators, Guild Weapon (Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown). GM will be the judge of what can be bought for whatever currency is left.
  5. In-game NPCs may be hired using currency, as many as you would like. Level 100 in-game NPC will cost roughly 100,000,000. Level 90s will cost roughly 80,000,000.
  6. Be honest with yourself for estimating stats and currency expenditure. If you know you wanna equip your character with top-grade items, just make yourself spend more. For instance, average Legendary item may cost around 200,000 but if you know your Legendary item is above average, it's going to be more than that.
  7. One last thing... CASH ITEMS. Yes they are a thing. It all depends on how much of a wallet-warrior your player is. Just... don't go too crazy (unless your character's a hardcore wallet-warrior; something I'd rather not see overdone).

✧ Rules and Guidelines ✧

Rules

1. The usual. No God-Modding, no rudeness, the basics.

2. GM's word is law.

3. Minimum 2 posts per week, although more is recommended. This will be calculated Sunday-to-Sunday.

4. 2 warning system. For instance, failing to post twice a week without letting GM know prior would be a warning. 2 warning and GM will consider kicking.

5. You must join and communicate on Discord.

Guidelines

1. Don't abandon the RP without notice. Most basic and simple word of RP etiquette. I've spent a lot of time and effort setting up this RP, many others have done the same with their characters in order to make this happen. No one (including myself) has any right to just leave and put a big hole in the middle of the RP so it can go and ruin everyone else's experience.

2. No arguing or fighting. And remember that attack on your character is not the same as a personal attack on you. Call the GM if you have to.

3. Keep the posts manageable but nutritious and frequent. Wall of text is much more manageable to read and digest if it comes in bite-sized chunks over a 5 course-meal rather than if its shoved in all at once.

4. If life happens and you need to go afk for some time, let someone know so they can autopilot your character(s).

5. Keep focus on the next part. A lot of RPs tend to slow down and eventually die due to poor thinking-ahead. Remember that your post should contribute towards the next part of the story, rather than slog it down in the current time.

6. Have fun. Be nice to others.

✧ Adventure Must Continue ✧

✧ Characters ✧

✧ Players ✧

With dozens of different Classes, Subclasses, Skills and even Species to choose from Players of Yggdrasil had a great amount of elements to choose from. At the height of its popularity, Yggdrasil was a competitive and active community, making a lot of players spend real cash and spend countless hours grinding. The PvP scene was detailed and well-established, with numerous strategies and tactics being employed by hundreds of Guilds and players vying for control and power. However, there were those who chose to play Yggdrasil for other elements. With so much design elements that could be controlled and much materials to work with, some Players found joy in constructing, building and decorating crafts and locations of their own construction.

✧ NPCs ✧

While they were no more than programmable automatons within a gaming program with no real intelligence or sentience, once in Isekai, they gained consciousness, personalities and... life. All NPCs are absolutely loyal to the Guild and Players. They regard the Players of the Guild that they belong to as literal Gods to fanatically worship and find greatest purpose and joy in serving the Players. They cannot be threatened, bullied, bribed, or otherwise convinced to betray the Guild and would find it most shameful to do so. There are primarily 2 types of NPCs; custom made and in-game.

In-game NPCs are NPCs that are innately built into the game. They may have been captured, summoned, hired or bought into the Guild for different purposes. Overall, their personalities and tendencies are pre-set according to the game itself. Among the NPCs, they are considered lower ranking regardless of their level and purpose within the Guild.

Custom Made NPCs are NPCs that have been designed and built by Players. Everything from their appearances to abilities are determined by a Player creator. While custom NPCs are loyal to the Guild as a whole, they tend to show even more fanatic loyalty towards their direct creators. If ordered to do so by their creators, custom NPCs will not hesitate to attack the other members of the same Guild. Since they have been personally created by Players, among the NPCs they are considered to be of the highest rank. Custom NPCs' personalities and are largely determined by 3 separate factors: background, karma, and creator's personality. Background is the script written by the creator of the NPC that outlines their history, personality and abilities. Karma determines the general tendency of the NPC, whether they are Good or Evil on a general scale. For any other parts of the NPC that isn't specified by background or Karma, it tends to follow the creator's own personality.

✧ Adventure Must Continue ✧

✧ Game System ✧

Since the scale, details and exact nature of Yggdrasil from Overlord isn't known exactly (not to mention that is ludicrously detailed and broad - unnecessary for our RPing experience here) we'll adopting a fantasy RP system that I've developed and been running here on this site. For anyone wishing to check out the system in more detail than necessary for this RP, link will be below:

roleplayerguild.com/topics/166414-tal…

Since we'll be RPing in the Isekai (other world) where it won't be Yggdrasil in-game, I'll forgo much of the details regarding the actual gameplay mechanics. However since we'll be designing Player and NPCs, we'll need to know the basics of the system.

---

All stat will be represented by the following scale. An average, normal human being would fit around on "D" rank for all Attributes. Same scale will apply to Skills. Last rank, X-rank, is a special rank indicating that the individual belongs to the top 20 individuals who possess that Attribute or Skill in Yggdrasil.

F -> E -> D -> C -> B -> A -> AA -> AAA -> S -> SS -> SSS -> X

✧ Attributes ✧

Hider

The following are Attributes. All players have these Stats known as Attributes. Simply put its the base stat chart. Every stat

• Health

  Abbreviated to HP. Health is the character's main indication of their well-being.
• Mana

  Abbreviated to MP. Mana is required for most Actions and Spells.
• Strength

  Abbreviated to STR. Strength represents the character's physical power. It has the following properties:
  
  - Physical attack damage
  - Action effect
  - Allow wielding of heavier items such as shields
• Agility

  Abbreviated to AGI. Agility represents the character's physical speed and dexterity. It has the following properties:
  
  - Overall speed of movement
  - How many moves (normal, Action, Spells) can be executed within a period of time
  - Physical evasion
  - Certain items, such as heavy armor, lowers Agility
• Intelligence

  Abbreviated to INT. Intelligence represents the character's magical affinity. It will primarily determine how powerful the player's spells are. It has the following properties:
  
  - Spell effect
  - Natural magic resistance
• Stamina

  Abbreviated to STM. Stamina represents the character's endurance.
  
  - Reduces cooldown time of Actions and Spells
  - General tenacity and endurance.
• Physical Resist

  Abbreviated to PRes, Physical Resist represents the character's ability to resist physical attacks.
• Magic Resist

  Abbreviated to MRes, Magic Resist represents the character's ability to resist magical attacks.
• True Resist

  Abbreviated to TRes, True Resist represents the character's ability to resist all types of attacks, including Chaos Damage (non-physical, non-magical). However, resist amount per stat rank is relatively low when compared to PRes and MRes.

✧ Skills ✧

Hider

Skills are what the character possesses that represents the character's aptitude at something. While a specific set of Skills does exist, for the purpose of this RP we'll make it as detailed and wide-stretching as we want for the characters we create. Skills include anything from Weapon Wielding Skill (such as Sword Wielding) to something mundane and non-hostile such as Crafting or Smithing.

✧ Titles ✧

Hider

Titles are given out to players by the game system. Most NPCs (and players sometimes) afterwards will refer to the title of the player as well as their name. Titles can be achieved by enacting something extremely epic/awesome. When a Title is bestowed by the game system it confers a special bonus to the bearer, determined by the nature of the Title and what the epic move was. A character may only wear 1 title at a time. Each Title is unique and will never replicate itself in the game.

✧ Spells ✧

Hider

Spells are magic. And usually are only cast by players who practice in the magical discipline such as mages. All Magic requires speaking words, hand gesture and a Magic Weapon item such as a wand to cast. No speaking words or hand gesture will result in the spell being cast unsuccessfully. Casting without a Magic Weapon will hurt the player equal to the amount of mana spent but the spell will go off successfully.
Spells follow Disciplines, with multiple Disciplines existing. For instance, Fire Discipline will contain all fire-related spells. A character will usually be specialized in a few (or one) Discipline of Spells since specializing in multiple in-game would be a difficult and costly process.
Since it would be unrealistic to list out thousands of Spells that exists in-game, players will be responsible for writing and inventing their own Spells for their characters.

✧ Actions ✧

Hider

Actions work similarly to spells but are non-magical in nature. It is most often used by characters that practice physical combat but aren't magical. Actions often are a special and powerful move. For instance, just swinging a sword would not be an Action. Actions exist for all kinds of physical attacks, anywhere from simple Sword based attacks to ranged attacks using a gun powder weapon.
Since it would be unrealistic to list out thousands of Actions that exists in-game, players will be responsible for writing and inventing their own Actions for their characters.

✧ Currency ✧

Hider

Currency between Yggdrasil and Isekai will NOT be exchangeable. For spells, abilities and actions that requires the expenditure of currency, only Yggdrasil currency will be acceptable. However with the right material (eg. Gold) it is possible to physically mint more coin.
An average price of a Legendary item might range between 100,000s. Ultimate and beyond will require 10s or 100s of 1,000,000s.

1 Adamantium Coin = 100 Mithril = 1,000,000
1 Mithril Coin = 100 Golds = 10,000
1 Gold Coin = 10 Silvers = 100
1 Silver Coin = 10 Coppers = 10
1 Copper Coin = 1 standard currency

✧ Items ✧

Hider

Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> Mythic -> Legendary -> Ultimate -> Transcendant

Items are classified largely by rarity, as seen above. For most Players after reaching Level 100, Legendary are the most accessible, as they are relatively less complicated to craft and could be bought on the market using currency. Starting Ultimate grade, it gets significantly more difficult to obtain, often requiring massive amount of grinding. Transcendent items exist only as information to most players, with most powerful Guilds possessing only a few of them at a time.
Items are further diversified by types (such as weapons, clothing, armor) and viable wielders. Certain items cannot be wielded by certain Classes, Subclasses or Levels.
Items can be crafted by players and/or NPCs, depending on their Skill. Items also require repairing; using the items beyond its durability will result in the destruction of the item. Lastly, items can be enhanced, a process similar to crafting the item. However, enhancing an item may break it (it is lost). Chances of breaking are 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%. For every level, with +6 Enhancement being the maximum.

✧ Adventure Must Continue ✧

✧ Adventure Must Continue ✧

Final Chapter... then a new beginning...

Yggdrasil, a popular DMMO-RPG for many years in this broken world, is coming to it's end. You've all poured your time and soul into this game. After spending hours... days... weeks, months and years in this virtual reality that seems so real, you've all accomplished so much and built up legends. You've explored strange and fantastic places, fought and defeated all sorts of marvelous creatures and overwhelming opponents. You've made friends and enemies, some just acquaintances passing by and others life-long relationships. Adventures... glorious. So much for so many years. Surely such legacy of epic scale would be etched into this world for all eternity.

But that isn't so, for the end of nigh.

Final chapter of the story, ready to vanish into an oblivion. So much... void. Empty, ashes, as if everything that's been done has been for nothing. So much time and effort has been spent, not to mention the uncountable amount of real-life currency some have been pouring into this game. Real world is nothing short of a true dystopian society, there is no doubt regarding that. Beautiful nature only remains as photographs or video memories. Fresh and delicious groceries and green and healthy plants are all but gone, save for those remaining for the privileged few. Most of you have spent painful and tortured lives, toiling under the lashes of extreme capitalism where all respect for human nature had been replaced by profit margins to feed the powerful. But that's precisely why such virtual reality was so appealing. Freedom. A forged one that everyone knew was fake but freedom nonetheless.

Welcome... to the end.

Welcome to "Adventure Must Continue", RP inspired by popular light novel series and anime "Overlord". This RP will NOT be featuring any characters or setting material directly from Overlord, rather only the premise will be borrowed for our own purposes. We'll each create 1 Player character who all belong to the same Guild. All the Player characters would have been friends and Guildmates for many years now, enjoying Yggdrasil together. As our Player characters we'll build our Guild together, everything from the title of the Guild down to the last small detail of our Guild House. We'll have 1 Player character stay in-game through the ending of Yggdrasil server and have them teleport to Isekai (the other world) along with everything belonging to the Guild. From there on, we'll start our RP assuming the role of NPCs we've created.

✧ Adventure must go on... ✧ (Overlord RP)

@Darth Shadow

Great~

@Zelosse

Hi again

@FalloutJack

Not necessarily. I tend to give priority to those who have RPed with me (assuming they have been good players) since I am more or less convinced they won't just disappear in the middle of the RP. But there's plenty of room for others this time I think so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Ultimately all I care is if you are a leaver or not so as long as you don't have a bad history of killing RPs, you are in.

✧ Adventure must go on... ✧ (Overlord RP)

@ManyThings

You can check out the framework system here:
roleplayerguild.com/topics/166414-tal…

Obviously our RP won't be identical to this but it'll give us something to start with.

Also don't worry too much about standards... the only thing I REALLY care about are leavers and afkers =_=

✧ Adventure must go on... ✧ (Overlord RP)

@FalloutJack

Because it's a high-casual and can be enjoyed by both casual and advanced players. Plus I tend to have more luck searching in both areas.

✧ Adventure must go on... ✧ (Overlord RP)

Greetings all, I'm wondering if there are any interests for Overlord-inspired RP. I'll save any explanations regarding Overlord itself and assume that everyone has read the light novel / manga or watched the anime. If you are interested but have NOT watched or read, I would highly recommend watching just the 1st season of the anime.
Let's not waste any time and get straight to the heart of what we are doing~

---

1. We'll each create 1 Supreme Being (Player) from Yggdrasil. We will all be in the same Guild, be friends with each other, etc etc.

2. We'll spend some time as our Player-characters, designing and building our Guild as it looks on the last service day of Yggdrasil. This will include designing custom NPCs, building the Guild-House itself, designing it, etc.

3. We'll vote (or random pick) on ONE Supreme Being who decides to stay until the end of the last service day of Yggdrasil.

4. Our Guild will be transported to the Isekai (other world) along with the ONE voted or chosen player.

5. Start the RP! We'll be playing as all the NPCs that our player-character has designed when making the Guild. The person who owns the one player character who has been transported will be playing them plus any NPCs they have designed.

Steps 1-4 will be done over Discord over the course of a few days (likely weeks), I'll set up an actual RP thread when the time comes, where we can post all our stuff that we've done.

---

I realize it'd be unreasonable to assume that everyone would know all the background details and lore regarding Overlord, especially Yggdrasil. Even for those of us who have kept up with the light novel, the entire system of Yggdrasil remains hidden, meaning... we'll have to "invent" and "assume" when building the Guild and designing elements. To remedy this problem I am bringing in a Fantasy RP system I already have set up in a separate RP. Of course, we can add or change elements of it as we see fit but it'll give us a framework to start with.

One few more things... this will be a high-casual RP, meaning quality will be appreciated and expected. I'll post guideline and rules once we get going. Additionally, I'm sure everyone who's been around the block a few times know already but going afk from the RP is a very good way to kill it. Unlike some other RPs, this RP will not have an easy character-kill switch built into it, meaning as soon as a person disappears, it leaves a huge hole that is very difficult to fill. I give you my word I will do my utmost best in order to keep this RP moving forward and be appealing to everyone, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could show dedication.

Think that's about it... cheers and have an excellent day.

RP Reboot - Overlord - Mors Inimicos Nostros - High Casual

Man... I've been writing up an Overlord RP for the last few days and was about to post an interest thread when I saw this.

Little bit different conceptually than mine but... good luck! Maybe we could collab sometime if I could get mine online and running.
