The Why

What you can expect

The Nitty Gritty

Potential player applicants

Potential GM applicants

Character Sheet

Rules

What IS allowed

Roles to be filled


If interested in applying as either a player or as a GM, please reply in this thread or else send me a PM. Invite your friends too because as often as not, when people try new games like THE WORLD they bring their friends along for the fun as well. Or else they might have been invited by a friend who was already playing and starts a new character in order for the two of you to play together!

Stay posted, as I will be making later posts describing in further detail the setting, rules, methods and character generation steps.

You decided to make this after I brought up the topic of doing one. I ask you to help me do a plot line, but that obviously isnt what happened now is it...

Your thread had been inactive for nearly a month, and the only reason it's active now is because *I* am posting in it. You're welcome to apply as a GM or as a player. But before you go pointing fingers keep in mind that you were the inspiration that has started me down a line of creating an RP that, once created, -will- be successful. Neither of us can claim the right to the .hack// concept, but while you were only feeling people out to see if anyone would be interested, I decided that I didn't want to wait around for you to get enough support to start your endeavors.

I invite you to apply as a player or GM. As I said in the OP, you would qualify for a GM position because of your familiarity with the .hack// universe and concept. But I also ask that if you have any further objections that you PM them to me. This thread was created to let players who are interested officially sign up.

No, it's more like a .hack story with D&D like elements used to control and reward players actions in much the same way they would be if they were actually playing in THE WORLD.

Please understand that while mechanics are a part of this story, they are not meant to play a large role. They are only to be used during key encounters with enemies, players, or signature NPCs. The mechanics are meant only as a point of reference to gauge and control the limits of each character. They will not be used in standard posting, and when they are used, they will be streamlined in order to maintain the flow of combat.

Though I have listed the above classes/races they are not your only choices. If you wish to create a fully original character you are encouraged to do so. However, please provide detailed information to any custom creations. Other than that, feel free to make up your own details. For example, under Wolfken in the Races selection you see a reference to an event called the Time of Tragedies. This is a past event I made up on the fly for the race in order to give them more depth. Feel free to do likewise. Get creative! Have fun!

Standardized in height and weight Cyilia sports silver-white hair and brilliant emerald eyes, her skin tone matching her hair color. She generally has a soft smile on her face as well.

Wolf appearance:
howl~~~~


Personality: Generally she's tough on people for asking stupid questions when they should look for the answers when they're there, she's a quieter person more apt to speak when absolutely needed. Though she's bold she has a shy streak in her, at times making her clumsy if it comes out.

REAL WORLD
Name: Idate Hikare
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance:
see me~~~

Bio: Growing up in what he called a "dull household" Hikare dealt with an average life and an average schooling. Seeing as he had great intelligence even if he didn't use it he made his way into college scoring high on his entrance exams and majoring in psychology but skating his way through classes and moving out to live a "fun" life. Which entailed avoiding the very people he studied in his classes. He felt that by understanding the people around him he didn't want to actually be around them. He had seen the premiers and decided that he'd join in The World and be able to make some kind of friends and still keep his seclusion.
Reason: A social recluse not wanting to deal with face to face after studying psychology through college, The World is a way to communicate and not have to be face to face with people.

alrighty....better?

EDIT: fixed for 3 yet? what am I missin' if not :/

Accepted and archived. Thank you for your interest, and for your character profile. Reading it makes me realize what I will need for the REAL WORLD profiles. I do have one request though; while your THE WORLD characters don't have to be, I request that your REAL WORLD characters share the same sex as you the person. There are MANY reasons for this, but the biggest is that men and women don't understand one another perfectly. We are like two alien races, and it is for that reason mankind as survived this long. But I digress.

While in THE WORLD, sex doesn't matter because your character will just be a virtual avatar of your REAL WORLD character. For this reason a perfect RP representation of a given sex isn't expected. But that does not hold true for REAL WORLD characters.

I of course cannot force this upon my players, but I will expect them to function naturally while presenting themselves.

Actually that's already in the works. I was planning to send the PM to you in a few hours. But more than trying to gather victims players, I want to get all the information and mechanics down while accepting the hardcore of .hack fans for the first leg.

That said, I fully intend to do all you have suggested.

October 2010 MOTM!
THE WORLD
Name: Síochán
Class: Cleric Lvl.3
Race: Human
Persona: Síochán is a pleasant enough person, often smiling and easy going, he has a real thing for helping newer players and will often go out of his way to lend a hand.
Appearance: Síochán is about 6 feet tall and has dark red eyes. He is often seen waring a smile and rarely has a serious face on.
Character Details




REAL WORLD
Name: Jacob Donnelly
Location: Cork Ireland
Age: 21
Appearance: Jacob stands at roughly 5'10 and weighs around 10.7 stone. (that's about 150lbs for those of you who aren't from the Island.) He has light brown hair and has a slightly crooked nose. He has blue hazel eyes and keeps a well trimmed goatee.
Bio: Jacob was born in Cork, and has lived there most of his life. He doesn't worry so much about the end so long as the journey is fun. He is a student at Uni and doesn't have too much direction just yet at the moment. He's been taking a few language courses and has thought about expanding into maybe teaching language if it goes well.
Reason: Jacob joined 'The World' mainly because he was in need of a way of blowing off steam and relaxing. he kept playing it because in moderation it is a good way to keep from burning out in his studies.
Living situation: Jacob is a student at UCC. He spends much of his time studying and in classes, though he gets on and plays when ever he has need of a breather.

That's fine. I'm still in the process of building the game which isn't going to start until I have at LEAST 10 players. Take your time a mull over what kind of concept you want to play. Keep in mind that you're doing more than just building a MMORPG character. You have to create a REAL WORLD person as well.

Brilliant. Also, I've decided the heed the advice I've been given for how to do stats. I'll edit the OP to include a description of how I'm going to do things, but basically there are going to be two options. The first is letting THE WORLD handle all your stats, the second is letting the players do them manually. It would literally be the difference between Easy and Expert modes in the game.

I am happy to say that the RP is beginning to take off. So much so that I wonder at being able to get everything ready in time. With this in mind I have decided to start the hardest process of this plan now. Look to the OP for rules on Character Generation, which is significantly different from the profiles that have thus far been filled out. It will require much crunching of numbers and referencing of third party charts.

Also, to all those who have expressed an interest in helping me as GMs, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. But I have decided t hold off on accepting GMs beyond those I have already spoken to (you know who you are). The biggest reason for this is because my assistants, the GMs, will have the hefty task of maintaining the daily progression of the RP, if not the overarching plot. Because of this, and because of my desire for high quality roleplay in all my games, I will be accepting only the best. People willing to take the burden of paging through each post in detail and controlling the environment accordingly. I want them for this purpose because I intend to allow as many players as possible join this RP. However, the more players join the harder it will be to manage all of them satisfactorily. This task takes time, likely more time than I will be able to devote myself to while still progressing the main plot of the story.

I therefore encourage potential GMs to apply for the position, but please be patient and understanding in this, as my highest priority right now is getting the RP up and running. Again, I do not intend to accept any but the most dedicated, experienced, and talented as my GMs, and even then not before the game itself starts.
