Zyber Ware™ had just launched its newest installation to its series of successful online games. Its claim is that this would be the biggest and most successful game they have ever created, and will ever create. It's name?

Eternia.

Eternia had created a raging sensation amongst the BETA players of the game, which had been chosen from the cream of the crop of the gaming world.

"Highly Addictive... ... Once you start, you can't stop!" - GAMERZ weekly.

"Buy some chips and grab a bottle of cola.. No, make it two. You're not going out for some time." - E mag.

"I've thrown all my other games away. Eternia is my only love now." - Xfaith renounced gamer, ForcEz.

With its official launch, millions of copies of its CDs were swept off shelves, outselling the previous best selling game by twice the amount.

- - - - -

Then, it happened. A group of players emerged with the Clan name "Esprit De Corps". They created a virus powerful enough to hack into the multi layers of firewall and game guards and reached the core of the game - DeAngel.

DeAngel is able to create disturbances in the virtual world of Eternia, linking the virtual players to their physical body. Anyone killed in the game will enter into a coma in real life, and none have awoken thus far. Furthermore, players in the current affected areas of Eternia are unable to log out. They were forced to take cover... til they were found and killed.

Overnight, DeAngel has taken countless lives, making it the top killer in the world.

This is a message to all the top gamers out there. The authorities have admitted that they are unable to do anything more. The fate of the millions depends on you.

-SEND ME A PM if you're interested to join! I'll personally give you a summary of what happened.-

Eternia is a fantasy - based MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) where players are allowed to roam about, killing monsters, leveling up and doing countless quests on their servers. A virtual headset and a set of controls are provided during purchase which enables you to fully escape from the real world and indulge yourself in the game.

All gamers are human in the game, with features fully customizable.
Here are the current jobs offered in the game:

Non - Magic based

FIGHTER
A fighter is one who triumphs in the aspect of swordplay, as well as the usage of common melee weapons(spears, etc.). However, as they advance, they are able to choose the path they will take.. Choosing to execute magical skills with their weapons or master the art of melee combat and forsaking all magical abilities.

NINJA
Less adapt at swordplay and melee combat, but what they lack in strength they gain in speed and stealth. Ninjas will learn many cloaking abilities as well as jutsu's which may hinder an opponent's movement. Not suitable for leading groups, but as assisting characters. One may develop their ninja to discover the art of mystery and evasion or choose to become jutsu masters.

MONKS
Completely weaponless, they are extremely dependent on their hands and feet. A monk well versed in martial arts can easily outfight any opponent carrying a weapon. Monks are also known as the 'survival class', meaning they are able to survive the best even without being with a group. Hardy and equipped with strange techniques, they are the hardest to kill. Monks can either become ferocious martial experts or one with a defense hardier than a Golem's.

MERCENARY
Complete opposite of a monk, a mercenary is almost completely reliant on its weapon build. Often using both ranged and melee weapons, they are the most versatile class. They lack in being granted an advantage in a certain trait, but are able to swing their stats to whichever way they desire with the right weapon build.

GUNSLINGER
A special class introduced later in the game with the capabilities of wielding guns. They sacrifice attack power for range. Many gunslingers have minute amounts of magical bonuses stacked on their weapons, but are heavy reliant on boosters to really do much damage.

Magic Based

BARD/DANCER
The best support character there is. Being a bard means you're never lonely. With a wide variety of buffing spells, parties will literally fight over you! An experienced bard can obtain the best boosting abilities in the entire game or he may choose to become a more defensive player, protecting his team with various misleading spells and dispelling abilities.

SUMMONER
A character entirely dependent on magic. His physical body may be useless, but summoners often win battles without needing to move at all. Simply put, the biggest monster summoned wins.

SPELLCASTER
The most well rounded magic class you will ever get. You may choose to go solo by learning both offensive and defensive spells, or choose to focus simply on one. Many also have developed powerful characters by learning spells belonging only to a certain element, resulting in an element based spellcaster.

SHAMAN
The role of the Shaman in Eternia is played differently as compared to those known in the real world. The Shaman is the Ninja equivalent, but chooses to rely on magic instead. By himself, his powers are limited due to the lack of any strong offensive spells but a Shaman gives a team the extra pair of hands it needs.

DARK KNIGHT
Contrary to its name, the dark knight is a magical class. The player chooses to sacrifice the character's soul to the dark realms in order to grant powers of darkness. This mysterious class is able to wear magical dark armor and learn self - enhancing spells not available to other classes.

RULES AND GUIDELINES

I took a long time to get this concept right, so please bear with me as I explain the following rules. I want to make this a good RP.

1. No god-modding. No killing of characters without their consent. No killing of major NPC characters aka boss characters unless stated so.

2. Be legible and have a certain amount of roleplaying capacity. I don't expect you to blast me with a dictionary of words, but please do post coherent sentences.

3. Three liners, minimum. This shouldn't be a problem to most roleplayers.

4. Don't rush. That takes the fun out of the RP. Let's all go at a shared common pace.

5. Be pro-active. Don't whine when you don't post for awhile and need to read to catch up.

6. Activity. If you don't post in five days without stating why, we'll just have to kill you in the RP... Or turn you into an NPC where we can all fool around with. I'd love that.

7. In addition to rule number 4 comes rule number 7. Everyone should wait for everyone else after posting before doing another post. There are exceptions, however, like if you're the main character at that moment and NEED to post more than once; or if you have more than one PC, which then allows you to post twice.

Oh my. Totally joined.

Character name: Vincent
Physical Appearance:

Job: Fighter

Brief History: This particular player is a new recruit to the Espirit de Coups, having been brought into the fold during the time of the first incidents in the game. Not new to Eternia itself, he was forced to start a new face in the world in order to protect his identity as he did the collective's work. His current assignment is simply to examine the work of DeAngel and it's victims. However, shortly after his first assignment, he meets up with several travelers, and is forced to keep his alliances secretive. (TBE.)

Others: As a fighter, the way of the blade is as natural as breathing for Vincent; and nothing is more natural as far as blades go, as his: The Razor's Edge. The right side, as depicted, is entirely sharpened; the hilt, the edge, and the tip. All of which are spectacularly sharp, and have been known to cut down his opponents through armor, and shielding. The reverse, much blunter, is still a blade, however it is for much more defensive purposes.

Since his enlistment into the Espirit de Coups, however, he has chosen to fight with more fire power, and only feeling comfortable with one weapon, he worked with several in-game weapon-smiths in creating a second hand weapon: 'The Razor's Twin'. Both are alike in every way, though one is always hidden beneath his cloak behind him, while the first remains on his hip, visible.

Sounds Dothackish. Count me in.

Character name: Saylin Ryu
Physical Appearance:
Job: Dark Knight
Brief History: A mysterious past, he often refuses to talk about his past except to those he's close to, which isn't many. He seems to have social and trust issues, which has led him to be mainly a solo player, partying up wiht other characters extremely rarely. Though he seems to have a great sense of justice. Even as only just an ordinary player, he vowed to do all he can to try and get rid of this virus that is plaguing Eternia.
Others: N/A

Character name: Liara Eladei
Physical Appearance: She looks like this,only with auburn hair:
http://www.imeem.com/groups/ItKBq-0q/photo/w0YT43PcJz/
Job: Dark Knight
Brief History: Parents murdered when she was 13,she was hiding in a closet when it happened. Traumitized by the scene,she was placed in a mental institution. She escaped three weeks later and swore revenge for her dead parents.She took the Dark Knight oath,knowing that when she did that her life span will now only be twenty-five years.She has ten years to live and time is clicking. She wants to get rid of DeAngel and the Espirit de Corps permanently, and will stop short only of killing innocents to do so.She is kind hearted beneath her cold exterior and
will support and heals others,although she will never join a party.She has a soft spot for children and will protect them at all costs.
Others: After this is all over,Liara plans to put up her weapons and start the first Eternia orphanage before she dies.

neko92.. I think you need to edit your 'brief history' portion a little. O_O The character's history is what happened to the character in - game prior to this RP.

The rest.. Thanks for participating. I'm back from camp (finally) and am ready to start the IC thread(s). Because I'm thinking of having more than one IC thread. O_O

Character name: Echo Sukaida (what a surprise?)

Physical Appearance: Black hair that shades his face. His body is built atheletically (strong but not buff) and he has tribal tattoos covering his chest. His eyes are a piercing red, they seem to illuminate the area infront of him.

Job: Dark Knight (Posesses powerful black magics: Paralysis and Missile type spells, easily capable of killing most opponents. He also weilds a two handed sword, but rarely draws it.)

Brief History: One of the assassins in the Espirit De Corps, Echo has become feared by the gamers in the northern end of Eternia. They call him the deathbringer, for obvious reasons. He takes pleasure in slowly eliminating other people's characters, often infront of a large group of helpless bystanders.

Others: Echo as a character is very demonic, he takes pleasure in killing slowly. This has been dubbed his fatal flaw, he barely ever just kills enemies.

Updated. The IC posts will be posted tomorrow, if not today.

Nice Rp by the way. Creative to say the least. :]

^-^ That is what happened to the character in the game. I understood what it meant,I`m not stupid,lol.
My in-game character has a story,not the one playing the game!

^Wow, people would literally have to have no life in order to play a game to have that story.

Not to mention, this game would have to be increasingly badass. *wants*

(( For all who have chosen to join Eternia as an Elite Gamer. To help rescue the people. ))

There are no monk techniques which involves the use of weapons. However, it is possible for monks to hold weapons. It is a flexible game after all. Just be more clumsy when using weapons as a monk.

Character name: Jaro Anaksel
Physical Appearance:
Job: Shaman
Brief history: Kind, talkative and crazy are the main characteristic of Jaro. He does good where ever he goes, but in his own way. He will always help the ones in need, and fight the tyranny of the ones who are responsible for the deaths of so many.
Other: Jaro is a Ice mage. He focuses on one element primarily and he back is up with lightning spells , but he knows only a few. Another type of spells are his speciality, the barriers. He is first and foremost a defencive mage, a mage that is focus on hindering the opponents in order to quickly get away and save those that he can. But ice is a powerful element, and even though he uses it for protection he can also use the ice to shatter anything that is in his way.

The IC threads were already created and in the fantasy roleplay section.
