I like this. Kinda like .hack. I wish to take part but don't have a good character idea. I can help with technical stuff about the world though. I think there should be some form of class system or something like that.

Hey Mask, is the RP gonna be like an anime? I mean like, a person can type that his or her character sweatdropped, has a raised vein, or anime-ish stuff like that? :3

Gladly. This IS an anime forum, after all.

Now for the backgrounds.

An unknown site wrote:End of Fiction:

Your character wakes up to discover that the kingdom of Eres has been wiped out, except for you. You soon learn from a traveling nomad that the kingdom of Marse attacked Eres searching for a legendary artifact known as the "Book of History" that is said to not only contain everyone's past but also their future's. You find yourself under attack from Marse forces and are quickly captured. The King of Marse found the Book and read that "The survivor of the flames will destroy the Marse kingdom." He locks you away in the castle dungeon and plans to execute you the following day. Around midnight, a strange light appears before you, giving you your "power", and it helps you to escape the dungeon. You run into another kingdom, Travas, a former ally of Eres. You appeal to the King of Travas for help, and he gives you your choice of weapon. You take a small army into Marse and successfully steal the Book. The King of Travas commemorates you on your victory, just before Marse attacks the city with many strange creatures whose kind has never been seen before. Travas is eradicated, once again leaving you the sole survivor. The reason Marse wanted the Book of History was because they had another book, "The Book of Worlds" and needed the spell cast by the previous Marse king to unseal it. You lead a one-man charge into the castle to destroy the book. The huge castle has been turned into a labyrinth, and each wrong door leads you facing sinister creatures. You find your way to the throne room and see the King of Marse killed by a horrifying monster called Dorgun. You fight Dorgun and are overpowered quickly. The light appears before you and gives you the power of "Light", making you stronger and weakening Dorgun. Victory is soon yours. The Books are destroyed, and you are crowned King/Queen of Marse, which will have peace under your reign. The End.....?

Yeah, kinda sounds like Final Fantasy, but I typed this whole thing in like thirty minutes, so give me a break.

Prologue will be next. Buckle your seat belts!

@ Dia: Mademoiselle, you are approved.
@ Stratos: I'm using the Elements as the class system. I guess I could use some help with the technical stuff, but I'll be fine for now. Thank you.

EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. I will post my character AFTER I finish posting the overview of the previous games. So if you don't know what to do, just give me a little while or follow Dia's example.

Hey, don't knock FF. There supposed to be some of the best rpgs in the world, so you should be glad that your story is similar.
Using elements as a class system is a little broad, but how about a little more specialization within the classes.

Yay! Thanks Mask! Can't wait to see what the Prologue is! :D

I wasn't knocking it off...Although I did make fun of the fact that the final boss (other than VII), is nearly always some random villain that you've never even heard of.

Element classes

Fire: Enhances power of weapons by wrapping them in flames OR Summons flames in the form of fireballs, serpents, etc.
Water: Can wield water OR ice. If water, you can shape it into almost anything, but it will retain its composition. You can only control "pure" water, meaning if it is tainted by, say, blood, you can't use it. Ice is the same way, except if you create a shape, it must stay in place and it will have jagged edges.
Earth: Control of plants OR control of rock. If you control plants, you can have a certain plant grow quickly, such as herbs. If you control rock, you can force rocks out of the earth and make them float in the air for a time, but you can only keep it up for around 10 seconds.
Wind: Use wind to increase speed and agility OR blow your enemies away. You won't have a constant stream of wind, so you have to use it in bursts.
Lightning: Can send a constant current through weapons, increasing their effectiveness, OR you can stimulate the body's cells to heal itself faster. (How that works...I'm not sure!)

Now for the Prologue...
An unknown website wrote:End of Fiction: Prologue

After the tremendous success of their great hit "End of Fiction", Vintage Ent. is following up with the release of a prequel, aptly titled "Prologue". You play as one of 5 characters (Knight, Mage, Archer, Cleric, and Nomad) as they begin their individual quests for the legendary "Books of Power". Each story is different, and there are multiple endings, but that is not the game's greatest draw. What is appealing to the masses is Prologue's multiplayer capabilities, which enable 5 different players to play each of the characters at the same time. Due to the game's massive customization system and the fact that the characters' stories are intertwined with each other, people are flooding to the stores and buying the new "Hunt3r" console, also a Vintage product. If you haven't got it already, then go ahead and get one! You'll be surprised on how good this game is.

Now that the stage has been set...It's time for my character to appear.

Real Character
Name: Lee Font
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Build: Pale, scrawny, with thin shoulders. Prematurely gray hair, almost silver. Pale green eyes.
Hobbies: Likes to play poker and read detective novels.
Bio: A young gamer, Lee will usually be found in his room, either playing a game for 100% or reading one of the many stacks of books piled in his room. He has few "real" friends, but he has many followers in the gaming community, some of them are his classmates who can't "connect the dots" together. His parents do not really mind his anti-social habits, but they do become concerned when Lee doesn't show up for supper.
Personality quirks: Anti-social, likes to be alone, and only wears black and white clothing.

Game Character
Username: RedMasq (now where did THAT come from, I wonder...)
Build: Not too different from real life. Slightly taller, but with bright blue eyes and long silver hair. (think Sephiroth!)
Armor: Lots of black and white. Main clothing is black with white shoulder pads.
Experience: RedMasq has been around since Day 1 of the Eof series and has written detailed walkthroughs, each explaining what to do without revealing the plot. I guess you could say he's a professional!
Main weapon: Two-handed broadsword
Sub weapon: Ivory handled dagger
Element: Fire Enhancement



Alrighty! Did you enjoy today's post? Good. Now let the recruitment continue!

The secondary lightning class needs work, but everything else is much clearer. Suggestion for the class, instead of healing how about a performance enhancer. Move faster hit harder, that kind of thing.

Name: Phoebe Macintosh

Age: 14

Gender: Female. (What kind of parent would name their son Phoebe?!)

Her parents have always been busy with work since they're major politicians, and Phoebe practically hates how they're never around when she needs them most. So, she's let skateboarding and music become her life, besides videogames, of course.

Personality quirks: To be revealed... MwahahahaHAHAHAHAHARGH! *Coughs*


Game Character

Element: Lightning.

How come I think Phoebe might not like Tomo for some reason? XD

Hmm...an interesting idea, Miss Dia! Perhaps the two of you could be Rivals both in life and in the game!

@ Miss Ally--Approved. I was wondering who would pick a scythe! :)

Just to be safe, could you both specify what your character's element will do? If you have a better idea, then PM me and we will have a nice, long discussion. :)

Tomo will use speed to increase her speed and agility. (She's a ninja/rougeish type.) Rivals sound good! How about you Ally? Want to?

@Masq: Lightning enhancement. Like, she can send electric currents through her weapons.

@Dia: Definitely! It'll give me more to write. =3

His parents are both lawyers and work for a well established firm that's been around since 1890. He finds what they do boring and generally ignores them when they talk. Being an only child, he gets to roam the house alone and enjoys his science, taking a note from Sherlock Holmes.
Personality quirks: Uh... I don't know, so we'll save this for in the game. ^^;

Game Character

My understanding of the Water/Ice element is that in order to use the power, a body of water is required. Is this true?

PostPosted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 1:43 pm
by Masquerade1412
@Nami--Love the character. Approved! Just make sure to work out what element you want. But don't worry too much about it now.

@RJ--Um....How many weapons are we talking here? 50?! I don't mean to hate on you or anything, but that is way too much! Try trimming it down some (To, say, 2?). If you want to use a ranged weapon (Throwing knives) that will have to be your main weapon, then maybe ONE sword for a subweapon. Otherwise, you're approved.

@Everdred--Water/Ice don't really need a body of water for most spells. If you are using Ice and want a spear, you can just freeze the water in the air. Now if you want to encase your opponents in a wall of ice, then you might need a river or two. Sorry for the confusion, I'm still trying to work this whole "First time GameMaster" thing out.

A'ight, here's my character. Let's get the ball rolling!


Real Character

Name: Andrew Macintyre
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Build: A bit under 6 feet tall; a touch on the heavier/stockier side. Has dark hair, light skin, dark eyes, and a curly soul patch on his chin. He often wears glasses.

Hobbies: Retro gaming, homebrew electronics, listening to progressive rock music.

Bio: He grew up in your average American middle-class nuclear family, as the oldest of four kids; for most of his life, he's played video games, and even though he hasn't had as much time to play them as before, he's still a collector and connoisseur of games. Last year, he finished a degree in physics, and he's begun a job at a materials testing firm; he's sharing an apartment with a roommate he met online.

Personality quirks: On the rebound from a pretty messy break-up with his girlfriend that happened a couple months back. He's also a Treasure fanboy (but hey, isn't everyone?).

Game Character
Username: Jennumaura
Build: A muscular, statuesque woman, with dark skin and long, black hair, as well as glowing green eyes; based on a character from one of Andew's old stories.
Armor: Wears full armor and chain mail that covers her from head to toe; slightly form-fitting, and compemented with a round shield.
Experience: Andrew is a veteran gamer and RPG fan, but new to MMOs.
Weapons: A short halberd (7 feet long), with a bladed boomerang as backup.
Element: Earth/Rock control.

Interesting....A man who plays a female character...That could get confusing REAL easy. (And be absolutely hilarious!) I like it. Approved!

Now, for submission! *Presses key* Oops, wrong button! You guys won't miss Pluto too much, will you? :sweat:

Sorry I'm a little late. I didn't expect this to get going so quickly, and I haven't really had time to work on this until just a bit ago. Hope it's not too late.

Real Character
Name: Dan Blackburn
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Build: Average build, short black hair combed back, deep blue eyes
Hobbies: A long-time, hardcore, high-end MMO player; follows stocks; has a late night poker group
Bio: Having graduated from business school a year before, Dan is now an analyst for a local accounting firm, but hasn't let his work totally dominate his life. He still attends his weekly poker game with his drinking buddies, and he still plays EoF. In reality, and only a few people know, the firm he works for is struggling and will likely close down soon, leaving Dan jobless and unable to keep up with his bills. He worries about how he’ll be able to provide for his wife Clare, who is presently unemployed as she finishes school. Luckily for him, he owns a few stocks, but those will only sustain him for so long. He looks to EoF as a means of escapism.
Personality quirks: Passive-aggressive tendencies, often very mercenary; the two really tie in very well.

Game Character
Username: Valmont
Build: Average; light brown, medium-length hair; light blue eyes
Armor: Charcoal grey woolen trousers, a white linen tunic worn under a grey coat, and a faded black hooded cloak over everything.
Experience: Long-time bleeding edge player in both dungeon content and PVP content
Weapons: A dagger and a wide-mouthed canteen.
Element: Ice

PostPosted: Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:09 am
by Masquerade1412
hmm...I can see how that could work...

I like the "real character", but the game character needs some work. Ice is fine, but it needs to be more "medieval". You might want to put the Top Hat back in the box.

Just get that done and you can hop right on in!

OK, I believe I can squeeze this one in. I helped you with some tips, so it's the least I could do, right?
Real Character
Name: Jaylin Nazuka
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Build: Jaylin has brown hair and purple eyes. She has been wheelchair bound for most of her life due to paralysis in her legs from an accident.
Hobbies: Sadly, none. She can't even walk, so she feels no need to have any hobbies.
Bio: Jaylin is one of the game's moderators. She also was in charge of the motion-capturing for the sprites.
Personality quirks: Jaylin is often quite melancholy. She has a breather tube at the side of her headrest and she has to take a breath between sentences. Because of this, she often talks quite fast. I should also point out that she has a service dog, and is the only person allowed to have her pet on the premises at the game company's HQ.

Game Character: Mariko
Username: Josie (it's the same name as her service dog)
Build: She has blue hair and has a slender build.) I've provided a picture.
Armor: Very light. Has a unicorn on the breastplate
Experience: (Are you a newer gamer or a veteran?) Obviously a veteran since she's the moderator. She even played Dungeons and Dragons as a child.
Weapons: an epee. (Note: an epee is a sword used in fencing) She also fights unarmed if necessary.
Element: Earth. When she plays in a party, she is often called upon to be the chief healer.
Here's a pic of her online character. (Yes, she has wings. Is it all right if I make her fly sometimes?)
Image
She chose to give her character wings because she wanted to give her character something unique and she has a love for angels. Her workstation has them all over the place.
