Hey guys! I've just started up here, so I suppose this IC will serve as my introduction to the site as well. Though, I'm sure you guys would like to read more about the idea, so I'll keep it short and sweet. I've been RPing for about 10years now, I have plenty of ideas that I'd love to share with you and hope you guys enjoy, and I look forward to Rping here with you guys! Now.....
-The Idea-
The idea behind this RP is very simple. Esports are still growing in today's world. Basically I want to fast forward to a timeline where VR games are possible through something similar to nervegear from SAO and where gaming (Esports) has evolved to the popularity of sports like basketball and football. The story will take place in one of the top schools for gaming, in Japan, where some of the worlds elite gamers have graduated from. It will follow our characters as they not only strive to climb the ranks within their school, but also struggle to conquer everyday real-life problems, such as bullying, romance, etc.
What can you expect?
-School Ranking System
-Gaming on various platforms (MOBA, Mmorpg, FPS, Racing, etc)
-Guilds/Factions (Should your character choose to join or create one)
-Tournaments (Both within the school and against other schools)
-AND MUCH MORE!
Should all go well, I plan for the story to continue to another arch. Which I'm thinking will be set like SAO, where our characters will be trapped in a video game, trying to find a way out. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to ask questions! :)
UPDATE:
Just found out how closely related this idea to Video Game High School. I definitely encourage anybody who doesn't understand the idea to watch at least the first couple of episodes or just read about it, if you don't know about it.
Special thanks to @JackalopeLove for bringing this to my attention
