Its the year 2061, 60 years have passed since the September 11th bombings, which is said to be the downfall of the Golden Age. MMORPGs, which were once popular in the early 2000s, died out in popularity to the point where people aren't even aware of its existence anymore. US have switched its ideals to imperialism and began conquering countries with its massive resources. Other states retaliated to the threat by merging with other coutries or forming alliances.That period of time is called the Dark Ages.
There are only 3 countries in the present, Oceania, Eastasia, Eurasia; which were merged from conquest throughout the dark ages of 2020s. "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" , something like that, is mere common sense of the earthlings. At that year, a VRMMORPG called Aincrad is released, a game which is said to send you to the gaming world itself. Alpha testers exist, but unlike beta testers, they are top secret files, and are treated far more brutally, to the point where most of them went insane.
Development of Aincrad is started by a small company called Argus, but then it caught the attention of all of the 3 superstates, which started to back them up with resources for the sake of their favor, bias and control. It is slightly rumored that they wanted to create a new world for them to control, since even nuclear weapons are rendered obsolete from the anti-missile & anti-nuclear technology and supersoldiers.

Alpha Testers are players whom have been through both alpha & beta testing. Those people are chosen randomly from citizens or prisoners. They are dragged from their homes to be tested on pain, death and time dilation continuously. They're ill-treated like lab rats and have been through a virtual hundred or even thousands of years through the testing. Unlike the players, they enter the world through a portal that sends them into the world of Aincrad itself instead of simulating it.
Beta testers are a group of people who tests the game map and the gameplay. They've no significant advantage as compared to the players except for knowledge they have.
General Setting:
Its the year 2061, a VRMMORPG called AINCRAD was released by ARGUS dev. The game is played using a NerveGear head device which simulates the 5 senses into the gaming world. The game map is a tower, consisting of 100 floors, each with an environment, geography, as well as a "civilization" of NPCs. Conquering the floor dungeon will send one to an upper floor.
You're amongst the 10,000 players of the 1st batch, . The 1st floor starts at the Town of Beginnings. The players will be trapped in that world like the anime soon in the RP, where they will die in real life. There are 3 main roles, Warrior, Magician and ranger. There's an auto-learning program of English that allows people to learn the language instantly once somebody gets into the game, including animals.

Notes & Rules:
Just have fun, there isn't much enforced & strict rule in the RP. You're allowed to write freely like hunting which mobs or maps, etc. But no godmodding like killing the 100th boss in floor 1 which is basically impossible O.o . Basically its a SAO RP in a dystopian world :L
Animals are allowed >:3 . They will speak english too :P ~ Hope there's somebody interested and I will make the IC thread in a day or two after making my own character ^_^ . And feel free to ask any questions here :) ~
The game started, the 1st floor has a map with an evening sun that never rise or set. The log out button's missing, which is explained by Kayaba, who teleported everybody into a "lecture hall". Also, kayaba's killable. His shield around players got weakened due to a bit of circumstances, and a pissed off player threw a sword at him, which shattered into pieces. Repairing it, he threw it back, but was blocked by the 1st floor ruler, which is the sun of the 1F, which nearly killed the ruler. In its near death state, it split itself into moon & stars, and Night fell on 1F. The forest emits its own light & warmth, and most mobs migrated to the forest.
There's a second village near the forest, which is the resting stop~
