[Sign-up|Discussion]Epitaph RP

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

Storyline​

First off General information on the RP will be --->here <----, I've compiled alot of data to be used by player here, be sure to look at it often if you get lost or need to know something.

During the First Story Arc of the Epitaphs Players can freely log in and out of the game, this is a new RP Feature I'm introducing for those who will not be able to come online for any amount of time irl, so lets say you're going on a vacation irl, your RP Character just simply has to log out and your good.

The basic storyline is that you are a player of a game known as "The World" its a immense world where you can aspire to be one of the best players in the game, make new friends and play with them, discover the mysteries within the game, or more.

Once you log in for the first time with many other players you will hear a announcement via town square this announcement will echo throughout "The World" and if you join later there will be a massive sign in the town center showing the announcement.

Once you the player are accustomed to the game, you're first test will begin, as CC Corp.'s Admins will inform players of a large boss they must work together to defeat, The Epitaph known as Skeith The Terror of Death, it will be disguised as a Game wide event without the players knowing of the danger fighting this being will cause.

Rules

1. No God modding of any kind.

2. Be polite and kind to your fellow RPers, if they make a mistake just ask them nicely to fix it.

3. Each player can create up to 2 Characters no more than 2 please.

4. This is a completely separate universe from the normal .hack so please no .hack characters such as Haseo, Kite, Blackrose, etc.

5. When Making Custom Skills Keep in mind you only get 5 Maximum, and be reasonable with their descriptions OP ones will be discarded, also you will be able to purchase Class Unique Skills within the market/events of the game itself.

6.Some Data is still being compiled so be sure to keep a eye on the Information Log linked above, it'll have updated data on Avatars & Event Details.

7.Please Post at least 2-3 line sentences to keep it from looking like spam.

Spoiler

Personality: Kuro is a Calm, Collected person, he enjoys being outside and being able to have journeys across the whole world, hes a quick learner and can adapt to situations very quickly, When in battle hes looks for his enemies weakness' and exploits them to his advantage be it human or monster he shows no mercy, when it comes to friends he has a hard time showing his feelings, he enjoys his Solitude and Peace & Quiet, she also is quite adventurous.

Reason for Joining "The World": Being one of CC Corps. Designers who helped create the games graphics to what they are now, he wanted to be different from other GMs instead of creating a character with GM Powers built onto his character, he instead uses his powers from within the GM tower in the center of town, this lets him enjoy the game as a normal player while still being able to do his Game Master duties.

Kuro tends to keep his Game Master Status secret from players, so when he announces events and other things in the town center he wears a large cloak that hides his players appearance.

He loved the concept of "The World" and wanted to make it his main game, he tends to help players when they are in need of it, outside of that he has always dreamed of joining a guild of the ever growing game and becoming one of the most well known players.

[Raiiyokuu]

Player Character Name: Ryoku

Gender: Male

Class: Twin Blader

Appearance:

Spoiler

Skills:
• Sonic Slash - [Katana] Draw from sheath and deliver a fast basic slash to enemy, allowing for multiple hits and combos.
• Sonic Stream - Using both Katana and Wakizashi, deliver a number of hits to enemy, ending in a heavy strike from above.
• Inversion Flash - Call down a barrage of black Lightning bolts.
• Desolation - Focus spirit on Katana and unleash a potent Shockwave of Dark Energy
• Pestilent Storm - Throw a couple of bombs into the air. In which explode on contact and release toxic fumes that drains minute (mai-noot, not minutes in time) enemy life each passing second, until target is dead, or status effect is cured.

Weapon Choice:
Katana & Wakizashi. A Wakizashi is essentially a smaller version of a Katana.

Weapon Appearance: Katana, Wakizashi.
Often uses Katana on its own. Both weapons have a detachable lock on the bottom of their hilts, allowing Ryoku to combine them to form a Dual-Bladed Katana.

Personality:
Being calculated is one of the best things about Ryoku. Being so, everything he does is without waste of energy, or movement. Also a collected individual, which leads to the highest forms of results he expects, as he is able to focus easier than others. As a player of The World, it brings out the adventurous side of Ryoku. There is no place where he won't go to, dangerous or not, he lives for the thrill. Despite this clashing with his other traits.

Reason for Joining "The World":

Originally a beta player who helped Kuro test out various things. It was Kuro himself, who introduced and suggested that Ryoku try out the new game. In the current state of The World, Ryoku is friends with Kuro, and he knows that he is a GM of the game. Although, he puts that aside and sees Kuro as more of a skilled player, like himself, rather than a GM.

Before being introduced to The World, Ryoku was one of the more active people who've played an MMO daily, doing the typical things a long time player would be doing. PVP, and acquiring End-Game content, or just starting a new character all over again.

After The World was announced, Ryoku was chosen to be a beta player, and was more than excited to be as such. In the short amount of time playing, Ryoku deeply liked the game, so he stopped playing other games, and put his focus towards The World.

To the game's current, Ryoku is one of the top players. Having climbed the PVP/Arena leaderboards in no time, he stands in the top 5 PVP rankings in the whole game.

Characters Theme:

Current Soul Stones: 0

Other Info:
Known in the real world as Ryoga Saito, and is 20 years old. His avatar in The World is close as he could get to his real self.

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

Everything looks fine atm Hayabusa , you'll be one of the more unorthodox Twin Blades but I've seen a few in the .hack universe with that type of weapon/style so it'll fly in the game.

Looking good so far Can't wait to see everyone elses

 

[Exoskeleton]

Would I have to know much about what this series is based on in order to understand everything? I've heard of the .hack series but I've never gotten into it myself.

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

Would I have to know much about what this series is based on in order to understand everything? I've heard of the .hack series but I've never gotten into it myself.

I'm more or less Fashioning it as a alternate version of the First Four Games you honestly don't need to really know anything about .hack in general to join or understand the plot I'm working on .

Its a unique storyline separate from the other games/stories.

About the only thing my RP Shares from the games is we'll be fighting against 8 "God" AI's in the game called Epitaphs After the final one is defeated the story takes a more dark turn to survival

 

[Tipsynaruto]

i do love the amount of information you put into it. Ill have a read through it

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

Great the more people who join the better, Can't wait to see more profiles, Also Ryoku is Accepted 2 Characters made so far

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

Player Character Name:
Anzu

Gender:
Female

Class:
Swordmaster

Appearance:

Spoiler

Anzu has long, silvery and straight hair and red eyes that glisten like freshly cut rubies in the sand. Standing at roughly 5'5" she is quite short, a fact that she has taken offense to on more than one occasion, her petit size does not help her in this regard. Her attire consists of a white sleeveless jacket that happens to show off a fair bit of skin. The jacket extends to her upper legs, and features a degree of black trim down the hem and the front of it. In addition, she wears white colored trousers and matching colored shoes. A pair white detachable sleeves with black trim that is tied to her jacket completes her choice of attire.

Skills:
-Hilt Bash: Strikes the opponent with the hilt of the blade. Can be followed up with a quick thrust or a slash.
-Fang Break: Swing the blade upwards before following with a downward thrust into an opponent.
-Fissure Slash: Performs a cartwheel, followed by a twisting front flip that leads to a downward swing, using gravity to deal extra damage.
-Flare Blitz: Focus Spirit on Katana to create Lightning-Fast Shockwaves of Flames.
-Fire Spin: Focuses her spirit on Katana before twirling the blade around to deal a great deal of Fire damage to whoever gets caught in the blade's path, be it friend or foe.

Weapon Choice:
Katana & Buckler
Buckler is a small shield that can be held in hand or attached to the arm.

Weapon Appearance:
-Katana
-Buckler

Personality:
Anzu's Personality can be summed up as a Hot-Blooded, and overeager individual. She tries to give 100% to whatever the task she does, even if it's something insignificant. That's not to say that she isn't smart, as she is perfectly capable of thinking and adapting through situations, but some of the times she dives headlong into the action no matter how terrible the situation is, with at least a good expectation of coming out victorious. While she is not overly boisterous, Anzu is quite loud at times, and a proud adventurer who would rather go out exploring, being rather uncomfortable staying in one spot for more than a day.

Reasons for Joining "The World:"
The player behind Anzu was one of the few who were able to get their hands on a copy of "The World" on the official release date. She has played several MMO's before, and was a big fan of RPG's in general. After just a few hours of playing, she was able to not only get a grasp of playing, but also do a lot of fun things in the Virtual World.

Despite being considered a general noob, (as far as her overall appearance and time spent), she is able to lead people into a false sense of security and scrutiny around her, allowing her to perform well in PVP battles, thanks to the general underestimation of the opponent, making her skilled, but not overly so in PVP battles and achievements. But her main love for adventuring and discovering new things means that her rankings are continuously around the mid-card in-game.

OOOHHHH!! Fresh RP!! please let me join! all the ones I wanted to seems to die before we even start

 

[Steve-O]

Player Character Name: Ami

Gender: Female

Class: Twin Blade

Appearance:

Spoiler

Ami has long greyish hair that goes all the way down to her waist, her fring covers one side of her face, she does this as a symbol of hiding her true side, her real persona. She wears a white shirt with a red blazer of sorts, making her cloths look almost school like, the red school like skirt helps with this look and design. She likes to wear ribbons, this shows in her look with a ribbon in her hair and a ribbon on her shirt.

Skills:

Quick Slash: Runs towards the opponent for a quick slash on their side, but as she passes, she turns around to perform a quick upwards slash on either their back of front depending on the direction she comes from.

Temperature Control: Casts Fire on one dagger, and casts Ice on the other, and performs 2 slashes to cause a Hot and Cold effect

Spoiler

Ami Daggers have a Unique Curve design, this allows for more damage when performing her different slash moves, the curve also allows elements like fire to flow more freely, causing it to have extra range. The curve handles allow for better grip, as she tends to drop her weapons while fighting.

Personality:

Ami has a shy personally, she tends to hide herself from others, and not to let people in. this can cause people to distrust her, and can give her a hard time in making friends. This is due to her outside world history. She does however not allow people to mess her about, she quick on the mark with working out if she is being used or if somebody is trying to frame her. Ami also tends to avoid asking for help, she proud of the person that she is and if there is a way for her to complete the task at hand, she will find a way to do it. She avoids fighting unless she has to, or if she has a big distaste to a individual.

Reason for Joining "The World":

Ami real world persona has had a hard childhood, she was born with a disability called Spina bifida, which have given her a life of being bounded to a wheelchair. This has made making friends a rather daunting task for Ami’s Real Life Persona, and she has always found it hard to get into a form of social group. This has caused her to keep herself to herself and has always made friends via internet forums or MMO’s. Upon hearing of “The World” She saw this as a chance to be the person she wants to be in her mind, A “Normal” Teenager who can enjoy hanging out with friends and having fun without thinking of her disability. Even so, some parts of her real life personally are passed onto Ami, Including the inability to make trust people and Keeping feelings to herself.

Characters Theme:

Normal Theme:

Sad/Personal Event Theme:

Other Information:

Yuki is Ami's real life persona name

Ami tends to lose track at times, she can end up wandering off, even if it into places where it might not be such a good idea

Ami likes to play with her hair when she bored, she also does this during a battle if she starts to find it boring. This is due to the fact that she got the game to be a normal teenager and have fun.

 

[Tipsynaruto]

Finished!

Player Character Name:
Gozen Matabei (Gozen is surname)

Gender:
Female

Class:
Breaker

Appearance:

Hair: White ponytail that reaches to the small of her back, angled at 30 degree upwards

Eyes: Hazel Green eyes

Skin Tone: Pale pink

Height: Matabei is a staggering 190 cm tall

Weight: 70kg. Heavy for any females, but for her height, just
perfect considering muscle mass.

Build: Matabei has small frame build, meaning she is naturally slimmer, rather than being well set. Slight and petite she isnt, but she has the chest and butt of a female with generous proportions.

Clothing Style: Rather oriental, clean and proper, although showing a bit more skin than comfortable for most women at this age. She also wears her detailed armour as well as her extravagant headpiece and her cloak/mantle.

Accessories: The closest thing that is an accessory can be her wakizashi that she wears behind her head. Stored in a cradle that is made with the ribbon that she ties her ponytail with.She has no earrings as they are a hindrance in battle, nor can she wear rings with her gauntlet.

​

Tall, leggy and buxom. Matabei stands at an impressive 190cm tall. Her most distinguishing features are that she is her height, her bust size and her long legs. Even by male standards, she is strong, granted by her size. Her hair is white, done in a mid pony tail, trailing down to her waist while she has a slightly off eagle wing bangs. Her side bangs reaches down to her upper chest. Matabei's eye colour is a hazel green with a light pink complexion. For her age, she is rather big.

Attire:
Matabei wears a female fundoshi with a black hakama with a very obvious side vents and extremely flared pants hem. It is to the point where it looks like a dress. The hakama hem spools over her feet, but her footwear is what raises it off the floor. For her upper torso, Matabei wears a white, sleeveless, backless kimono. For her feet, Matabei dons short ankle, white tabi with 15 cm high wooden geta. These shoes are steel plated underneath and along the vertical stands, which allow the use of her feet in combat. To tie her ponytail, Matabei uses a long red ribbon in which she makes a cradle where she can slip in her wakizashi securely.

For her armour, Matabei had decided to go light weight. Her chest armour is light, covering most of her upper front torso and sides, but leaves everything above her shoulder blades and up rather open. Her skirt armouris also light, reaching from her waist to just above her knee. For gauntlets, the overlapping plating make means it is quite capable of being used as a shield to some degree against bladed attacks. For her shoulders and bicep, Matabei wears spaulders that cover her shoulder down to jsut above her elbows. To top off her ensemble, her headpiece is what also distinguishes her amongst people. The main helmpiece is the same silver as her other armour pieces. It covers most of the side of her head as well as her temples. The arching dip at the front also offer some limited protection for her eyes. It is held up by two straps on each side at the end, tied around the back of her head one above and the other below her ponytail, like a bandana. On the top of Matabei's head is a small silver headpiece with intricate carved details along with pearls at the side. It's shape is intended to resemble a dragon's head. On the middle horns are a short column of tiger fur, shaped into a cylindrical manner, with three peacock feathers stuck on top, topped off with a long pheasant tail feather on each side. The total length of it is 110 cm, making her impressive height even taller. The pheasant tail stands erect and bends only slightly backwards around 90cm above. It is highly flexible so it does not break easily and capable of extreme bending. In total, her height is a staggering 3.15m tall. The final headpiece is kept on her head via two steel bands which can be clipped onto the interior of the forehead piece, making it one headpiece.

Fighting Style:
A lot of Matabei's fighting style revolves around her tremendous strength, stature and reach. Her grip is strong enough that she can use her pole blade with one hand for maximum reach.

Skills: (5 Custom Skills Maximum)
Shoulder Charge: A simple shoulder barge where Matabei charges in and shoulder charging people. The main target would receive an actual barge, knocking them over and potentially stunning them. Those that are in the way along the path are unstabilised or knocked over.

Blade Infusion: By infusing the blade with wind essence, Matabei can extend the blade's length with wind blades by an extra 25%

Thrust: Thrust is a skill move in which Matabei speeds up her movement for a very short moment to perform a series of thrusts which its executions are extremely close to each other. Matabei launches what is, in essence, a wall of thrusts in a large two meter diameter circle in front of her, capable of boring a perfect hole through a wall in an instant. The cone of effect can be narrowed for more accurate strikes. A wider cone of effect will be more effective with larger groups.

Chain Sweep: A simplistic area clearing move where Matabei charges up a swing and delivers a powerful horizontal swing with only one hand at the end of the weapon, using momentum, her own force and the weight of the weapon to cleave through all those in front of her, accompanied by scything wind. Matabei uses centrifugal force to help her bring the blade back for multiple swing. She can choose to use one sweep for wider cone of effect, or up 8 blows with a tighter swing concentration and cone of effect on more singular targets.

Ground Pound: Another simplistic skill in which Matabei pounds the ground with a wind infused fist, which causes the ground around her in a 3m radius to shoot up in vertical spikes in a sequential shockwave manner. The first 1.5 meter will shoot up instantly, with the second meter half a second later, the 2.5 meter another half a second and the third a further half a second.

Weapon Choice:
Matabei's main weapon of choice are polearms.

Weapon Appearance:
Her blade, named Yatagarasu, is 2.1 meters in length

Spoiler

Personality:
Relatively light hearted, Matabei takes things as they come. She is rather jovial and approachable. Matabei is also one to wear her heart on her sleeves. She is honest, innocent and straight forth and usually, what she says is what she think. Her light hearted and free will personality gives people the impression that she is simple and carefree. A more nasty way of saying it is that people think she is stupid. Rather than that, Matabei just doesn't care. Whilst it is true that she isn't book smart, Matabei is insightful and rather logical due to how straightforward she thinks.She tries to be optimistic and take care of things as they come, rather than be brooding and prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt. This makes her rather credulous and a prime target for pranks with friends. She is a bad liar, making her a bad gambler in certain games, but she has incredible luck to the point of miracles.People are able to tell if she lies as she often stutters in her speech, her voice becomes soft and she has a hard time looking at the person in the eye. When she does have to say negative things, Matabei sugarcoats harsh words and try to balance out any negative things she had said. To match her overbearing stature, Matabei's voice is equally at an impressive volume. Her lungs and vocal cord enables her to project her voice clearly, even amongst rowdy crowds. While some people are shy as a door mouse and quiet, Matabei is the total opposite. Her booming voice reflects her pure and straight forward personality, the fact that she has nothing to hide and that everything she says in relations to herself, she isnt afraid of others to here. Of course, she understands that discretion is needed at times, but her default volume is impressive.


Her personality is often reflected in her fighting style. She prefers frontal, open, face to face challenges of might, skill and prowess. Her combat style is incredibly honest, almost like a duel. However, it is not to say she dislikes tactics. She uses practical and solid methods and fine tune them to the situation, whilst remaining honourable. She has no issues with using high ground, flanking and retreat maneuvers and terrain advantage, but actions such as involving non related people and such would disgust her.

To stereotype her interaction with companions, Matabei can be seen as the big sister type of person. This means that while she is capable of teasing, joking and general merriment with her friends and companion, Matabei retains a sense of responsibility to make sure that they are safe and sound and try to keep them out of trouble. As a result, she is more than willing to throw herself into danger if it meant that she could help a friend out. Along with this is that panic does not come to Matabei. If things begin to heat up and get worse, Matabei takes it as it comes.

Reason for Joining "The World": (AKA History)
Matabei actually comes from a rather wealthy, traditional family. However, Matabei herself is much more curious and rather than staying enclosed and protected by her family. Upon moving into High School, Matabei cheerfully declared her intention of moving out to the city and supporting herself and despite all the efforts her family used to stop her from doing so, Matabei left the family compound, enrolled herself in a school, found a job and an apartment that catered to students and lived her own life. Despite her new accommodation being a fraction of even her own bedroom, it was incredibly well equipped and cheap. Matabei was content with her life. She made friends, she enjoyed her work, she enjoys highs school. Life was good. She even made enough to delve more expensively into electronic entertainment such as internet communities and games. Little does she know, her family were keeping tabs on her and in the rare situations where Matabei found herself in a bit of a sticky situations, they ,made sure nothing got truly out of hand. Even the landlady of the apartment has been paid a bit extra to keep an extra eye on her. While she is capable of paying the full bill by herself now, it was also her family that organised the cheap price of the room initially, particularly for boarding in such a location.

It was her dorm friends that convinced her to try out a VR game by the name of "The World" currently in Beta. While her friends said there was a low chance of her getting a beta key and gear, she "miraculously" managed to slip into the beta list and a set of gear was delivered to her, despite the slim chance. The experience was one of the most enjoyable one she has had for quite a while. It was so enjoyable that Matabei dug deep into her pocket and bought the expensive gear when the official release was out. As a beta player, Matabei had quite an advantage from the get go and her enjoyment of the game only proved to further her skill in it. As for right now, Matabei is quite high up the ranking list of players. While not within the top 20, she is pretty close ranking around the 20s to 40s.
