Jessica Celenaril Telyaiel (Max)

Beta Tester of Star Ocean Online. Is trapped in his female character. Real name: Max

0 · 304 views · located in Star Ocean Online

a character in “Star Ocean Online”, as played by Sephiroth89

Description

Long black hair, Dark Blue eyes with gothic-like makeup,despite the anime-style big eyes that all characters have. Slender in build

Personality

Strong willed and independant, he likes to go into combat for fun and found this game to be amazing. Talkative and outgoing, and slightly perverted, hence picking a female character, not realizing he'd end up trapped in her body. He's not as openly perverted as some guys however, and can occasionally even be shy around female character he finds attractive. Hates when guys tease him or when not realizing he's a guy, hitting on him. He loves the natural beauty of the planets, even if it is just a video game and can often be found just laying outside enjoying the scenery when he's in a quiet mood, but those moments are not as frequent as when hes out and about trying to make new friends and talking his mouth off, so to speak. Can be quite goofy from time to time, but his talkative nature can get on others nerves, even back when people knew how strong he was.

Equipment

Weapon: Standard Level 1 Longsword

Armor: Standard level 1 Warrior Gear which is a white shirt with brown leather shoulder pads, brown leather elbow pads, blue leather gloves, black pants with blue light-metal armor, black military style-boots with blue light-metal armor over the boots and like all warriors his sheeth is on his lower back. Obvious his armor was a lot better before, but it got reset along with this level.

Gold: 1000 (the standard starter amount of gold)

Starting Spell: healing

History

During the Beta test his character was called the "Nasheem Ginomai Mega Lalaipsi" which he earned due to his storm magic abilities he had, and was becaus of a contest where the strongest beta testers would be granted titles based on their abilities that they'd keep in the real game, though now with his level started over, the title has vanished thus only those who met him during those days would even believe who he was probably. In the week before he lost his title and level as well as the subsequent trap in his character..he'd spent that week mostly trying to get strong enough to beat the stronger enemies on Diablo, which of course now he's no longer strong enough to even go to anymore. No Beta Testers had reached strong enough to defeat the stronger Daemon, let alone face the final boss in Diablo of course. Its been merely minutes since everyone's levels reset to level 1 and everyone now has their souls trapped in their characters and they are unable to log out..what will everyone do? Even he is not sure of the answer.

So begins...

Max stood there, as everyone in the center of Aquios, the Capital of Aqauria, were in panic. Mere minutes ago he'd been fighting some Daemon on Diablo..he was one of the best Beta Testers..one who'd been so skilled he won the in-game contest of the Beta Testers where he'd been granted a title for his character Jessica. "Nasheem Ginomai Mega Lalaipsi" they called her. It was Hebrew and referred to his use of Water, Wind and Lightning spells. "Storm Magic" he liked to call it. But then he'd been forcibly spawned to the place he'd started his game at...Aquaria. It was his favorite place in the retro game Star Ocean III, which he'd bought when they first announced Star Ocean Online was in development. He'd been a longtime subscriber to the online magazine, being a gamer himself, and was randomly selected among the subscribers to participate in the Beta, which thrilled him even further! The game had gone worldwide after the Beta Ended. Now a mere 7 days after the worldwide release and he was in Aquaria, unable to log out. Weirder than that, he could FEEL. The video game hadn't been able to do that before. Sure he could SEE the wind. It was virtual reality so it was like seeing out of his own characters eyes..but he could feel the gentle wind breeze go by.


He could feel the wall next to him, like as if he it...real. That was crazy talk, but it was true. The world he'd always found so beautiful had become as if..real. Still, it could be worse. He has a pretty sexy body. He looked into the reflection the glass window of a store and saw the sexy female body of his character. He was stuck in level 1 gear and had a level 1 sword now but he still looked good as Jessica. What the hell was he doing? He shook his head. 'I must be completely daft to be thinking about my appearance right now.' or maybe he was just trying to figure out how to handle the fact he may never leave this world again.


All the people were now on Elicoor II, probably. Likely half of them in Aquaria somewhere and half in Airyglyph somewhere. That's where people started out the game after leaving the Main Hub, was either Aquaria or Airyglpyh. Going to other places, including Earth, came after. Maybe there might be a few people in the Main Hub since the Main Hub was really just for character customization and early items. All the same, in the past half hour since he'd spawned there, people were already panicking all around him. Screaming about how they couldn't log out. He was in so much shock about all that was going on around him..he was silent for a change. Trying to let it all sink in. What was he going to do now?

Max saw as people looked at the log out option and noticed it was in grey font, like it wasn't an option. People were questioning it like crazy, and some looked slightly panicked on their faces.

Then he saw a feather folk player character across the street from him. The man shouted "What the hell is going on!!!!!". Poor girl..or was it a guy? Hard to tell. He found the fact it was hard to tell creepy, so he pitied the person quietly, while ignoring them. He then saw another person, a woman crying. Max walked up to her.


"What's wrong?" he stated. This reminded him that his voice was that of Jessica's. Maybe a girl would be more willing to talk about her problems with a girl, so he decided not to tell her he was a boy.

"I was outside of town just now. Me and my friend Melony were fighting some Nobleman enemies. Weak and we thought 'no big deal'. Melony was a new player, so she didn't know how to play properly. Then when we fought, the enemy attacks actually hurt us! We could feel every attack like it was real! Well, when her character hit zero hp, she screamed out in pain. Melody is my best friend in real life. She's no actor..that scream was genuine. Then when her character died, she didn't log back in! I can't explain it but...I feel like she's actually died. I-I can't tell you how I know it just...I know she did. How is that possible?!"

Max was left without words. So in his kindest voice he said,"I don't know..I just don't know. I tell you what though..stay in Town. Nobody can be killed in Towns, so your safe here in Aquios for now."

Then suddenly a message appeared in their private message inbox's at the same time. He opened the message and read it allowed.

"From: Unknown.
Subject: Welcome to the Real Game
Message: Hello boys and girls, this is Day 1 of the real Star Ocean Online. First I'll tell you that yes, I am the one who disabled your log off feature. But I did much more than that...your souls are trapped within your characters. So don't try taking off your helmets, as your souls are not even within your own bodies! However, it's also in your best interests not to do so as well..as you can't return to a body someday that isn't there! Now we get to the fun part: yes, you feel pain now. Furthermore, if your HP reaches zero...you can die. I've decided to be generous. Revives still work..but only for a short time. If you do not revive in time..the death becomes permanent for your character..and you will die for real. The goal? Oh its simple really. The Beta Testers have reached Diablo before..just barely, but they did. I want you to do more than that..I want you to become strong enough not only to go to Diablo, but to defeat the Daemon leader. That is the goal I give you, if you want to ever leave this game. Also, I reserve the right to change the goals at any time I want for fun! Ciao!"

Max sat in silence. "What kind of twisted fuck does something like that?" Suddenly he realized something. His voice had just now changed. It was his own! He received another PM, from unknown again.

He opened it.

"From: Unknown
Subject: I noticed that some choose to hide their identities from others.
Message: Boo on you! I do find your characters you spent SO much time on to be beautiful however, so here's my compromise. You will still LOOK like your characters. But your voice will sound like your real actual voices from now on! Enjoy!"

The girl next to him seemed a little nervous of him. "So you're a guy in real life huh?" She looked at him with untrusting eyes.

Max looked back at her,"Hey don't look at me like that! I never said I wasn't! I-I just can't handle seeing a girl crying and I wanted to help! Not my fault my character is a Female..." Hell, he was comforted by the fact he'd still have a sexy body to look at in the mirror, even if that was a small comfort. But now what?

He thought it over for a minute as the girl he'd been talking to was walking away. He decided to let her do that. If she wanted to judge him, that was her business. He'd made a male alt-character before, but he just found himself enjoying playing as a woman most up until now. He headed for a shop and spent his gold on blackberries. 1000 Gold. That's the amount he had now. So apparently everyone's gold reset to the amount new players start with as well. He'd chosen healing as his level 1 starter spell last time, and from his menu he could see it was still his spell now. Blackberries restored MP, and that's all he needed to have since he had healing still.

He pulled out a blackberry to try eating one. Maybe he could taste things in the game now too? Eck. They tasted terrible. He spat it onto the ground and they vanished when they touched the ground. Yep...still just a video game. Still..back home he hated his life. He'd gotten out of high school a few years ago and was currently unemployed and living with his parents. He still had some money but all the same, he had no friends because he'd moved recently and making friends was hard when you were jobless and no school to go to. Maybe that's why he enjoyed this game so much? He sighed and got up. He'd made a decision. If defeating the Daemon leader was the goal, somebody had to do it. And he couldn't bare with being a level 1 in this game forever anyways. Still..daemon weren't common in Elicoor II and were way too strong for level 1's to fight. He'd have to fight lower level monsters to reach a level capable of fighting them, let alone reaching Klaus III and eventually Diablo itself. He better get started now, before he changes his mind.

Alice was a Klausian. Well, more accurately, her character was. Nathaniel Armstrong she named him. But strangely enough, he'd become quite popular. She was regarded as among the "Top 10 Players in the Beta". Being the Top 10 among 10,000 was a big deal. Among those people were the only people in the game to be granted titles. She checked the leaderboard, where everyone had their statistics listed and showed whom the top players in the world were. Obviously the game had only been public for 7 days, so the top people were all Betas.

It said this:

"1. Nathaniel Armstrong
2. Claudette Shiromei"

Numbers 3 and 4 weren't anyone currently in the roleplay, so for that sake, we shall skip them.

"5. Jessica Celenaril Telyaiel."

Alice never bothered to read past the top 5. Didn't care. Besides, Nathaniel Armstrong had become infamous. The name had become so well known, that they made exagerated internet memes about her character. "There is no I in team. There IS an I in Nathaniel Armstrong. Fuck you, team." "Nathaniel Armstrong can use his fists to impregnate any woman. And any man." both of those pariticularly caused her to chuckle. She WAS a solo player, and in real life she actually did sleep around a lot. She didn't care if people considered that being a whore either. Why the double standard when it'd be celebrated if she were a man? In this game world..people thought she was a man. Apparently considered "manlier than Chuck Norris". She loved the attention. But most of all, she loved her title. "PKK". She was known for killing player killers. Not only that though, she'd accept any fight challenge any player would give her, and she rarely lost. Ironicly though, she never went to Diablo. Why go where there were few players? Still..she'd never faced "Claudette" in combat, and this bothered her.

Suddenly, she felt herself forcibly taken off of Bokenstein and transported to Airyglyph. She saw the snow falling in the desolate capital. Its funny really, people usually went to Aquaria. It had more natural beauty. But she loved the Kingdom of Airyglyph. It was a military nation. Just her style. Besides, the snow had its own way of being beautiful. But still..why was she here? Suddenly she realized her outfit was different, so she looked down at it. She had level 1 gear. ECK. She'd not had that in a long time. She noticed by looking in the menu, she was also level 1! She stomped her foot as she said in her character's voice "NOBODY CROSSES NATHANIEL ARMSTRONG AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" Suddenly she felt the cold air as the snow continued to fall. Her breath wasn't just visible any longer..she could feel it, like as if she was really out in the cold.

Suddenly she got a pm.

She snickered a little. Then laughed, really hard. Then she wiped tears from her eyes. At first she thought they were tears of joy...then she realized she was scared shitless. She could actually die now. She felt a wide range of emotions..complete and sheer terror..yet excitement. This could be the ultimate battle! She was also accustomed to pain, as she took Martial Arts classes in real life.

Then she got another PM

"From: Unknown
Subject: Top Player in the World..you cheater!
Message: Hello Nathaniel Armstrong...oh wait, should I call you Alice? Yes..I know who you are. I also know about "Double Spear of Might." First off, like most players here, I'm forcing you to have your real actual voice. Have fun explaining why Nathaniel Armstrong sounds like a woman! Also, I see what you did there. Hacking the game to create a special move? Tsk tsk tsk. We'll have to penalize you for that. From now on, any monster you face will be stronger than normal. But just for when you are fighting it. You will gain no extra EXP from it either. See, this is the punishment I give hackers. You loved soloing before? Nobody will want to be on your team even if you choose to have one now! Ciao!"

She cursed and then suddenly heard her actual voice. She covered her mouth. Oh shit.

Max was out and about killing monsters. He'd not gained very much EXP so far, but he'd reached level 3. That was worth something. If he hadn't been a beta tester before, he probably would only be level 2 right now. He knew how best to take advantage of fights. Unfortunately however, he'd grown tired of fighting, so once his part of the field was clear, he just layed down under a tree as the warm sunny day shown through.

He sat under the tree and listened to the birds chirping in the tree. The warm sunny day. Sure it wasn't real...but couldn't he enjoy it anyways? He felt himself drift off and soon he was taking a cat nap. He was aware of his surroundings, but he was still getting rest out of it. Funny, but interesting. The sun left a feeling of warmth as the cool breeze went by. It wasn't too hot and not too cold..it was perfect weather. The birds continued to chirp as he listened to them. It was peaceful and he was content, even if only for the time being. He pretended just for a moment, that this was real. And it was a beautiful moment that he'd cherish for a long time. Not everything was doom and gloom in this game, and once in awhile he could enjoy the beautiful view...even if it was in a female body.

Max jumped slightly. He got up cautiously. "W-what do you mean?" then he remembered he had his normal voice, so it didn't' really matter if he questioned it before, the person would definitely know now. "Actually, I've met a girl earlier who was really female. She was kind of offended that I wasn't. I was just trying to comfort her but noooo, she was too busy judging me for being a male in a female character. I always liked the name Jessica. Its a pretty name. The rest of my character's name is based on Evlish..I think. Not sure, I kind of googled it."

He yawned and stretched. "You know, I really should've spent my money on chicken or some kind of meat. I hear it tastes very close to the real thing. Instead I spent my gold on blackberries. They restore MP but they taste terrible! Gah..what I wouldn't give for some real food right now...like a cheeseburger. MMM. Cheeseburger."

Then Max realized he was rambling so he stopped. "Oh sorry..you had a message for me right? Sorry..I guess this is just how I cope with the circumstances right? I try to make the most of being here. I mean, I accepted being a beta tester here for a reason. I love this game! Who knew I'd be rank 5 in the entire world? Guess I'm not now though, since we're all low levels now. So what did you want exactly?"

He heard as the message from his parents was relayed. He was quiet for a few moments then he spoke,"I..I didn't even think about what my parents are going through." Not a single tear was shed, like he was the type of person who'd be hardened to such things..but you could see sadness in his eyes all the same. "Tell my parents I love them..and I'm sorry for worrying them.I-I well that is...tell them I'm okay. If you would. As for this girlfriend...she's technically my ex, but we still talk and we've kind been on and off often enough that its hard to tell when I'm with her and when I'm not I suppose." he attempted a chuckle but it didn't creep out at all. Weird how he was coping with pain..he was choosing to joke about it.

Then another thought occured to him,"You can log out then?"

The person confirmed as much.

"I see...then can you relay a message for me? I don't have anything to offer but...I want you to tell my friend Michael not to try to come in here after me. He's the type to try that sort of thing and I don't want him risking his life too. He's always been a way tougher person than me, but he's kind of reckless. Not like I can talk I guess but still..just tell him I'm okay and I say he shouldn't do anything crazy."
----
Alice was silent as she could be. If anyone heard her speak, they'd know she's female right away. Someone walked over and said "Nathaniel Armstrong!" like it was cool to've walked by Nathaniel Armstrong. Alice just had her character nod and keep walking. She headed out for Airyglyph field and began taking out enemies to level up. She still seemed to have the old reflexes, as he took them out with relative ease and reached level 4 easy. The enemies were more difficult than usual, but since they were still low levels, it didn't really matter. That's the kind of thing one could expect, being top player in the world...well formerly now she supposed. Still..there were less people in Airyglyph than she would've liked. Seems more people were both either favoring Aquaria or already meeting with people in Aquaria and leaving Airyglyph behind. This bothered her, but if she wanted to fight people..that would have to be the place. Still, you gained less experience fighting people than you did fighting random monsters, and perhaps she wanted to get stronger first? So he stuck to being in the snowy mountains outside of Airyglyph, continuing to take down monsters there. Even though nobody else was around. She didn't even bother to admit she was lonely....nobody would've heard her.
