Welcome to the early days of virtual reality: the worlds first virtual reality game is finally released. of course, you were in line to buy it, and immediately popped it in your game system(ps52/xbox-12/pc).
you enter the game and create your character, ready for the adventures in store. just after character creation, you spawn inside a massive stadium, alng with the 50,000 other players who joined in on realease day. everything was so detailed, so real. just when you were about to go look for your first quest your mother calls you for dinner: which is when it hits you, there is no way to log out. a voice comes over the in game world chat:
"welcome players, to my little...experiment. im sure many of you have noticed by now that there is no log out button. this is not a bug, it is intentional. the only way to leave this world i have created, is to beat the game, when one person clears the final boss, the log out button will be available for all, making them free to come and go. In the mean time, please refrain from actions that would normally kick you from the game, such as death, killing more than 2 players a day, and falling out of bounds. failure to comply to these rules will result in the death of your physical body, the helmet you wear to enter this game will microwave your brain ending not only your virtual life, but also your physical one as well. Please enjoy the game, and have a fun time."
A resonating silence rung out as the world absorbed this new information, followed by mass panic, a few people did the unthinkable: ending their own lives. Others ran from the stadium, and others sat in disbelief. This is your challenge, finish the game: before you die.

RULES: in order of importance:
1. have fun
2. in this game, i am god, what i say goes.
3. keep romance to a pg-13 level please
4. no killing your fellow rpers, unless they give you permission.
5. i will not ban god modding: but know this: god modders will be hit with my super smiting stick, or the nether nerf bat.
6. put the most important rule below your character

Rule 6.

all accepted! as dm i declare we start(you may still join at any time, all you must do is make a character )
no, i will not make a character, that is not part of the dm's job

so you guys are now staring at the sky, from where the voice had spoken.

I'll probably join later with the mass of people joining.

ooc: but in a rp where the players are to fend for themselves? that and you guys have all the time in the world to figure out what to do. then there is the matter of god modding, a DM(GM) is nearly guaranteed to god mod if they have a character, so i brought out the super smiting stick early, and prevented the case altogether. GM=DM game master/dungeon master

ooc: you do forget, this is a game where you will be interacting with monster and npc's just as much(if not more) as other characters, it is a long game after all

ooc: -.- fine, ill make one, then was will start.

Other:


as you stand in the crowd of concerned players, you hear some of them whisper to one another, "wait, arn't there beta testers who have beaten the game before?" and others talked "no one has ever cleared all 100 floors before."
far off in the crowds, almost unable to be heard, "no one has ever made it past the tenth floor."

Jade looked at the mass of players swarming in the beginning town. She had already been training with her best friends, Raine and Gilgamesh, whose real name was actually A.J. but always used the username, Gilgamesh. They had already reached level 3 but with some of these beta players and other people, some were already 5 or 8 or maybe some higher. Jade walked over to Gilgamesh and Raine to ask them what they were feeling.

"I just want to go home, you know." Jade said, looking down then up, a light breeze blowing her long green hair and leg armor straps. "I mean, I do enjoy it here, nothing to worry about... Well, besides the fact of death in here can result in death in the real world."

Raine smiled and patted Jade's shoulder. "Hey, c'mon, we have to hang in there."

"Yeah, and trust me, you're not alone when people say they want to go home. Why do you think so many people are trying to beat the game so quickly?" Gilgamesh stated, his headband whipping across his head. "Well, I am starving, are you guys?"

"I am very hungry." Jade said, holding her stomach. "I have started working on my cooking skill, so I could make something for us, because I am trying to avoid buying food as I am saving up for items to buy, maybe a new armband or bangle. I'm not sure." She said.

"Well, shall we head down to the town market and see if there is anything worth buying that might make a decent meal?" Raine asked.

Gilgamesh nodded. "Yes, I feel there might be some good things to buy."

In pure terror over the news, Hoshi turned to Seiki and hugged him tighly. The two had joined the game to have a little fun together, though it seemed the fun had come to an abrupt end. Seiki leaned his head down on Hoshi's and started to cry. After standing together for a few minutes together, a sudden fact came to realization.
"Hoshi, we have to go." Seiki said.
"What?"
"I've played alot of games before, there's only so many items and quests to go around. If we're going to survive, we need to get going, we need to start building up our levels."
"Alright, but where do we start?" She wondered.
"I don't know... This is the starting town. There's got to be some NPC's around to help get things going."
The two wiped away their tears, and even though Seiki was putting on a brave face, inside he was terrified. He wasn't very strong, and even though he'd played and beaten alot of games, he'd usually died a few times along the way. Hoshi meanwhile was stronger, physically and emotionally and was able to put aside her emotions to focus on her goal.

Jade, Gilgamesh, and Raine were walking down and saw a girl heading towards two men.
"Does that look safe to you? I mean one of those guys are really big." Jade said, looking at the beefy man standing around. "Well, they look like they are level 4s. The girl I can't tell, her armour makes me think 1, but I could be wrong, anyway, let's head down."

The trio walked down the hill and walked up to Noelle.
"Hi there." Jade smiled and the group nonchalantly walked in front of the men, and in front of Noelle. "I am Jade, this is Gilgamesh, and that is Raine. Pleasure to meet you." She said.

Raine jumped in. "Hows it going?" She politely asked, brushing her silver hair back.
Gilgamesh crossed his arms. "Salutations." He stated, trying to act all cool and suave.

Name: Rin
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Appearance:
Class: Sorcerer
Armor: Light
Weapons: Staff and magics
Magic: Water and ice
Other: Is obsessed with the color blue, and became a sorcerer on accident, as he wanted to be a summoner

Seiki and Hoshi took off to leave the main crowd. They had no idea where to begin, but started looking around for any individals with the NPC marker above their heads. Something that was prvoing troublesome with so many people around.

The two wandered around the town for awhile and ended up lost in the crowd, getting nowhere but going in a big circle to get right where they'd started.
"We're wasting time." Hoshi sighed.
"There's just so many people, it's hard to tell where anything is with so many people crowded around." Seiki was getting frustrated. "There has to be a NPC somewhere."

"Hmm. I have an idea. This way." Hoshi said.
She grabbed ahold of Seiki's hand and drug him through the crowd. In her rush and excitement in her idea, she didn't pay much attention to where she was going and ran straight into Noelle, dragging Seiki with her so that all three were knocked down.

Hoshi stood up and started wiping the dust from her clothes, more a habit to do so after falling than anything. "Uggh, great." Hoshi was a tad annoyed almsot as if it was Noelle's fault Hoshi ran into her.
"Sorry about that." Seiki said, offering Noelle a hand up.

"My name is Seiki, and she is Hoshi." Seiki said, introducing the two.
"We're in a little bit of a hurry, if you don't mind." Hoshi was tapping her foot.
"Sorry, she can be a little impatient."

OOC: if this RP continues to be 1-2 liners, then I am going to quit. Because it is just sad.

Jade noticed the crowd that was now swarming. "Uh, what is going on? Are so many people joining now? If that is the case, we should probably... Go!" She shouted and took off running in the direction of a nearby dungeon that was in the shape of a forest. "C'mon or you'll be left behind!" She shouted. Jade was running quickly, almost dancing as she was twisting and turning past the people.

"We should probably hurry as this may not end well for her." Gilgamesh muttered and began to chase her, his slight clumsiness causing him to accidently ram into the NPCs nearby. "I am sorry... Uh, oh so sorry... excuse me!" He shouted as he ran past the people, Freija followed but instead took the idea to run on the ledge of the fence, her quick footing allowing her to not fall AS easily as others and she dropped down next to Jade and stopped her. "Hey wait!" She called out, "Gilgamesh, hurry up."

Jade looked down, "I am sorry. I guess I was just super impulsive, forgive me."

Freija punched Jade's shoulder lightly, "Hey, no big deal, good thing it was a town and not a dungeon. First, let's make sure we have everything we need." Freija opened her menu and checked her items, she had a few healing potions and some antidotes and some medical supplies and a spare dagger, should her rapier be destroyed. "I am ready, how about you?"

Jade opened her menu and checked her items, she had her spear with her and her potions. Gilgamesh had his potions too and his Magic Log to write down spells he could mimic. "I think we are good to go." Gilgamesh said and the three stepped into the first dungeon again to finally start going onward.

OOC: Sorry, but when having a conversation with another person, there isn't much you can do but say one or two lines of dialogue.

"We need to go." Hoshi said to Seiki, getting antsy with so many players in the game.
"It was nice meeting you, but we have to get going. Sorry. Maybe we can meet again sometime." Seiki gave Noelle a smile.
As Hoshi started dragging him away, he flipped through his menu and sent a friend request to Noelle.

Hoshi continued running through the town, now letting Seiki run on his own, though still behind. They eventually stopped when they reached the main spawn point they'd used when they first entered the game.
"Why are we back here?" Seiki asked.
"It's the start of the game, there has to be starting bonuses near here that'll help out down the road."
Hoshi started looking around a noted a kind young woman tending a small cart filled with supplies bearing an NPC marker.
"Bingo." She smiled.

OOC: Is the GM ever really on that often? I feel as if I'll never be accepted.

OOC: Alright. Thanks!

Hoshi and Seiki walked up to the young lady at the cart.
"Hello and welcome! Are you new around here?" She asked sweetly.
"Yes." Hoshi replied.
"Then, here how about you take a [KEY ITEM: Beginner's Packet]."
She handed a small box wrapped in brown paper and tied together with twine to Seiki and Hoshi each. They thanked her and went over to the nearest bench to open them up. They each undid the twine bow then unraveled the paper. Upon lifting the box lid, the box faded and the items within, appeared in their laps. A floor map, a guide to the basics of battle, 1000 gold, and 5 potions. Hoshi opened the map while Seiki thumbed through the battle guide.

OOC: Inuyasha and assassin elf accepted. Sorry guys, I got a job 4pm-2am and I must say, you guys have made great progress without me. Will edit in an hour or so to give directions(Phone OP)

Ooc: Shool/Jobs are lifesucking. I understand

Rin looked around, trying to comprehend what had just been announced. This was the most horrible thing that had ever happened to him. He had noticed some people headingoff, and decided to follow them. HE watched them walk up to a lady in a cart, and her hand them something. He immediately walked over to her and asked her, "How are you ma'am"

OOC: I love how other people are going to the cart-lady I made up just so I could get a map.

"I think I found an easy dungeon just to the south." Hoshi said, putting the map away in her items pocket.
"Cool, I think I'm ready." Seiki said. "Though are you sure we're ready for a dungeon? We're only level 2."
"Alright, we'll keep our eyes out for some enemies along the way."
"Sounds good. We have to play this smart, can't take any risks. I don't think I could stand to lose you."
"And I'm not going to lose you. Alright, we'll take things slow, work up to level 4, maybe 5, then take a look at the dungeon." Hoshi smiled and gently put her hand on Seiki's.
With a plan in place, they ran south. Upon reaching the edge of town, they drew their weapons and moved carefully, keeping eyes out for any enemies.

The two passed through a quiet field of sunflowers on their trek south. While walking through this field, Hoshi spotted a small, peaceful looking white rabbit grazing on some plants. As they drew near, the rabbit turned to face them. Its eyes turned blood red and its fangs grew.
"Well, here we go." Hoshi said, raising her sword.
The demon-rabbit let out a snarling howl through it's foaming mouth, signaling other's of its kind.
Seiki and Hoshi moved to stand back to back. Hoshi swung her sword down, easily slicing through one. To her the battle was like a game of whack-a-mole, taking out one of the low-level creatures with each powerful swing of her giant sword.
Seiki meanwhile had a little more difficulty with a lower attack stat than his companion. He quickly strumed his guitar and aimed the handle at the rabbits, firing little pulses of sound energy at them. They didn't seem to take much damage after the first shot, only falling after the second or third blow was dealt. As they fell, some dropped gold, some dropped meat, while some simply didn't drop anything. Keeping up the sound blasts proved problematic though as it led to Seiki's MP quickly depleting. At about the half-mark, he drew his sword. It wasn't anything fancy or special like Hoshi's merely a small generic one most players start with. While using his sword, he tended to need to deal even more than with his guitar to take out an enemy.
"Clearly Bard wasn't the best option for a game of life and death. Sacrificing my attack stat for boots in other areas wasn't a good call." Seiki thought as he cut down a rabbit.
Hoshi easily slashed through the last on her side and turned to help Seiki with his. A few moments later and they were gone. A small victory screen appeared before them noting how much exp they had gained. Almost enough to reach the next level, but still a ways off.
