How far are you willing to go in order to protect Utopia?
The world was once a lush paradise, filled with many fantastical creatures and magic. One such creature was the Human, a humanoid being of great intelligence capable of shepherding the world into a new age. That age, however, was not as the Creator had intended. Power hungry and selfish, human-kind began to destroy all the beauty around them in their attempts to claim the land they were placed in. Determined to save all her creations from each other and themselves, the Creator created an alternate plane for humans to exist on.
Over the centuries, Humans forgot about the fantastical world they had come from. Magic died out, fact became fiction, and fiction became a twisted myth. Human nature did not change, however, and it didn't take them all that long to begin killing the world the Creator had made. They had created a sickness upon the world, a sickness of technology that tore nature apart. Fearing for their lives and those in the forgotten realm, the Creator took one last measure to save creation.

Flashing forward to the human year 3015, the entire world is digital. It was during this transition that the Creator made herself known to the world, warning mankind that this was their last chance to make amends with the world. As part of her help, the Creator began selecting children that she saw great potential with and bestowed upon them a new kind of magic, one to fit with their new digital age. Resources are no longer an issue, war hasn't broken out in a few generations. For once in Human existence, peaceful coexistence with one another has been achieved. As a reward, the Creator began to tell stories of the other realm, a natural place with all of the other creations they had been separated from. Upon hearing of untapped riches, a band of greedy business men and ancient religion leaders got together with the intentions of "reclaiming" Paradise.
Sensing danger, the Creator hid herself amongst the humans in one of the smaller towns where she granted the last batch of children their access to magic. Keeping her head down, the Creator did her best to teach the kids the fundamentals of how to use their abilities as they grew up. She watched with great joy as these kids bonded together in the best of ways, forming their own little group known as the Gamer's Guild. This group was known to run around and cause mischief but their pranks were generally harmless and brought entertainment to the community they hailed from.
Everything was going wonderfully for them until one day, their patron Goddess disappeared without a trace. The only clue left behind was a small note begging for their help and one name; Astoria, the nation's old world capitol. With the fate of all creation in the balance, are they willing to do whatever it takes to save Utopia? Even if that means giving it up?

General Stuff:
Hey there, and thanks for taking the time to read this monstrosity. XD At one point in time I thought this idea was original, but I've now realized it is just a twisted mash-up consisting of Sword Art Online and The Chronicles of Narnia... Oh well! I thought this sounded cool so I'm presenting this interest check to you all.
I planned for this to basically be a "search and find" rescue mission type adventure. The evil men have kidnapped the Creator for their own evil plots, you/your characters have to stop them and save her.... But at what cost will this rescue come at? Guess you'll just have to find out. This also has the potential to continue on after this main plot, thus turning this into just an adventure/world creation kind of thing, however details on that will have to wait until a later date.
Magic:
Illusionist: {ClaireRae}?
By manipulating the color and placement of pixels, the user of this magic is able to change the way the world appears to others. This could be something as simple as a wall to hide behind to something as complex as "becoming" another person. All of these require having certain details memorized in order to make it work. The more details the harder it is to maintain. The image is broken if physically disrupted by touch, or interrupted concentration.
Pros: Great against human opponents and visual security cameras.
Cons: Not so good against bots that see the world through code.
Coder: {EddiEddi}?
This user can not only read the world in terms of code, but can actually manipulate the code for various effects. Able to re-write an already established code, this magic user can change the physical properties of the objects around them. Additionally, they are able to inject corrupt code in order to disrupt the function of particular objects or similarly change the function all together. This ability can neither create nor completely destroy objects, it must use preexisting code.
Pros: Great for detection and defense against all things digital.
Cons: Much slower "casting" and can't be used on an actual person.
Wormhole: {Open}
Similar to the Coder, this person can manipulate the code of the world around them... But in a unique sort of way. They are unable to change the coding, but instead are able to create gaps big enough for people to walk through. Have a room with no door? Not a problem, this guy can get you out. The more fluid an object is, however, the more difficult it is to create an opening.
Pros: Very handy at getting one in an out of places they aren't supposed to be.
Cons: Can only open 2 holes at a time with a maximum length of 1 minute.
Blackout: {Open}
If you're a digi-magic user watch out because this person is your worst nightmare. If used correctly, this ability can nullify an area of its connection with the digital world. The area of effect won't be very large but it can span to for about a 30ft radius... Additionally it can be used in a more precise fashion to render the security useless.
Pros: Super helpful against all things digi.
Cons: Effects are indiscriminant.
Tamer: {Censored69}?
This is your AI guy. Being as close to creation magic as these kids have got, the Tamer is the developer of AI. Only one can be brought forth at a time, but multiple are allowed. This magic is compatible with other types as well, for example "Coder" and the AI can team up together to inject codes from a distance.
Pros: Because the AI needs a physical tether for long term existence, it is not affected by "Blackout".
Cons: AI have their own personalities, and can in some cases be persuaded.

Detection:
Everyone has a sense of the world around them, meaning they could walk around with their eyes shut if they'd like. Their "sixth sense" is heightened above that of a normal person's.
Vehicle/Weapon Summoning:
It's a dangerous world out there, especially where these kids are headed. They'll need tools. Good thing the Creator left them with the ability to call forth one type of vehicle and a weapon of their choosing.
Shield/Force Field:
Cliché, I know... However, when the enemy has guns, this is very helpful. It won't hold forever but just long enough to find cover.
Communication:
This allows each of the team members to talk to each other. It's a mind link of sorts that allows them to hear each other as if they were speaking in the same room... Even if blocks apart.

Standard Iwaku Rules apply.
This OOC is still a work in progress so it'll be updated as I go.
Special Rule #1:
Just one character per person right now.
