For nearly as long as humanity has existed, we have been trying to entertain ourselves. From throwing rocks into water, to the creation of more complex games like soccer, and baseball. And it is only natural that as time progresses that so does the entertainment that we develop. A craze that hit and developed in a unparalleled rush was the video game industry. Video Games are now a multi billion dollar industry, with companies competing for the attention for the attention of the populous. It was KSI Industries, one of the leaders in this industry who have incorporated cutting edge medical technology into a project which is likely to revolutionize the gaming world. They have incorporated the use of a mental reaction and stimulus headset developed to help with coma patients into a gaming system that brings the most life like game play the world has ever seen. The game, rather than played with a controller, is controlled by the players mind itself. The player puts on a head piece used to monitor his or her mental responses down to the most minuscule nature and in term returns electrical inputs through small responders on the helmet itself. The result, is the player envisioning themselves immersed in the virtual world of the game. They are able to control their character as they would their very own body. This of course has various alterations to the real world in the ability to bring up various game minus in virtual panels that only the gamer whom they belong to can see. The headset does not hamper physical movement at all, which is why the game takes a lot of getting used to in order to not knock things over, in the real world. It is because of this that the designers offer a temporary physical response suppressant in order to dull the responses in the outside world for a time. Two months agao KSI Industries expanded beyond the basic employee testing to sent out a massive world wide beta testing for this game, several servers for the various languages of the nations they have sent to. It is hoped that through these beta that they will be able to perfect the game that they have come to call "Legenden Zeit" which for many players have been shortened to "LZ".

Alright mate, couple of things that needs to tweaked on this one. Firstly, try and pull a little more realism into the character behind it. That's not really a realistic back story, maybe not taking many classes at a school, but not doing anything and parents being ok with it is just to out of reality at 19. (could even be taking a break between courses if it came down to it.)

Next, this is a European style game, the closest they come to non European weapons would be the katar from idea. Sai and Tonfa are not in it. (at least not yet. Can't say as they expand.)

And lastly, at level 7 there's no way that he could have that armor. The game's level cap is 100, and that is definitely some journeyman level stuff.
Remember, the point isn't to be set into a massive OP setting, but to grow and develop along with the game.

well the game is still rather new so the exotic weapons at the moment are katar, whips, and sling. it isn't a very expansive field (nor will it likely be after continued development. After all, it's just a game.)

You should add that to the Warriors description then. It says the only two weapons they cant use are the cross bow and bows.

Accepted. (though you should probably add the word 'armor' the end end of that simple light Iron)

Hey Jester, Robert takes a pill before he logs on, is this related to the game or was he just taking some aspirin for a headache?

I could join this. But mind I come in as a new class. An experimental one.

Leader. Its sorta like beastmaster, but does it with oher players. Specialties would deal with fusing other's special powers to make superpowers. For example, combinding heal and hurt to do things like cure arrows and such. Or combinding status conditions with certain elements.

Weapons would be spears and whips.... and on higher levels, guns.

well I went over the explanation of the pill in the first post of the OOC but it's a lot so it's likely it was missed.
The headset monitors the thought patterns of the player so that they make their characters move as they would their own body, but it does not actually stop the person from moving their body, so it takes a long time to get used to it so that you don't knock over things or hurt yourself by moving your real body while you play.
As such there are typically one of three things that people do, the demo hasn't been out long enough to get used to like that. they either A, play while asleep (possibly taking a sleeping pill while doing so) B, restrain their own body with minor restrains around the upper arms and legs so they don't flail about when something surprises them, or C, take a physical response suppressant that KSI offers as part of the beta. It's a pill that dulls your bodies responce to mental impulses for a time. (they are tested and safe)

Robert was working on the game before it was released to the closed beta (cause he took part in the Employee beta) But he finds playing without the suppressant less relaxing and ends up not able to fall asleep. (making a night of gaming rather tiring.) So he still takes the suppressant.

Does that answer your questions/any other ones that might have been lurking?

and Orin, no I'm wanting to keep things to how they are in the class department at the moment. There are prestige style classes that are obtained by reaching master level in your base class and your subclasss, and they have unique abilities that merge traits of both classes involved but we aren't really near that level.
And the entire game is still in beta so it's all experimental. (and I'm strictly keeping things way from guns, seeing as it's a medieval fantasy game.)

Hmm, I can see where its scifi, but that seems to illude me on that. Someone could bring up why this should be more in either realistic or fantasy. Please give a reason in advance.

I understand, but that pretty much undermines the entire Subclassing and duel classing concept. That is ultimately the outcome of reaching master class in two different classes.

and the reason why it is science fiction is because we do not have near the technology need to run this kind of game and it is based around a virtual reality which we are far from being able to operate in. The genre placement was actually suggested towards Scifi by a admin
